After a decade fiddling around chords have never been clearer for me! Looking forward to part 2🎉

@AimeeNolte Год назад

Great to hear!

@AimeeNolte Год назад

I need to apologize for making this PDF in the key of D-flat. It should’ve been A flat. I’m not sure why I did that, other than just being in too much of a hurry.Please forgive me. 🤪

@Erschophone Год назад

Play it in all 12 keys!

@maddog3428 Год назад

I’m a classical piano teacher taking a dive into jazz and blues world, and your videos are so fun and inspiring! This has got to be one of the greatest chord progressions of all time - thank you for breaking it down.

@robertakerman3570 Год назад

Gorgeous, way beyond Me right now.

@koentjoep3683 Год назад

My bad I just watched the full video and they basically explained it at the start 😭 The thing I like about the just the two of us chords is that it are basically 2 chords. The I and the iii. What they do in the song is basically putting ii and V’s infront of the chords what makes it sound like this (haven’t watched the full video yet so idk if they explained this)

@jeremiahnoar7504 8 месяцев назад

As a piano teacher, do you know the name of the progression? 6-5-1 and then a minor 2-5 turn around is pretty ubiquitous in the R+B/ blues world of music, so I assume there's a name for it. I jut can't find it.

Es una canción bonita, pero nada más. Simplona como todo lo que viene del mundo anglo.

You are a better teacher than you realize and a better singer as well. Very easy and effective way to teach, bordering on zen simplicity found in martial arts training. Here is what you need to know, when you need to know….to keep you coming back, so I can teach you more,without getting overwhelmed and walking away. I use what I learned through martial arts, to teach music….and strangely enough, you do as well. You are very skilled, in many areas…and I’m learning many things from you…including music..lol

@joannamccraney3148 4 дня назад

Wonderful! Loved college theory until it hit 20th century, I’m still not good at it but now I love it, so I just keep throwing notes at it and hope some stick. Which they kinda do,sometimes lol

@fiscaldisco5234 Год назад

I don't like to play the Em passing chord in the verse because I think it is very prominent in the chorus and I like to reserve it for that section so it really sticks out

@mharbaugh Год назад

@nixonkutz3018 Год назад

the 2-5-1 to the VI is amazing

@bmurray4882 11 месяцев назад

@alainthiry3965 Месяц назад

the basic (level 1...) is the more emotional by is purity and leave imagination/outdoor things at soloists

@musictheorytree Год назад

I love the idea of using quartal harmony to give the extended chords with a lot of different notes more room to breathe. This gives one a great incentive to get those fingers nice and nimble to make those stretches happen.

@HarryFullerCT Год назад

So great. Took a road trip with my wife last month to celebrate our 35th anniversary and this song was a highlight of our playlist. Can't wait to get to the piano and try this. Thanks!

@holliesheet3182 Год назад

Maestro, You with great detail , illustrate; no debate! 3:16 3 & 7 ( start: Db maj7 ) Grandmamma's ring sings with your generosity-creative methodology! Listening to the harmonies with or without the bass makes my ❤hum! 14:23 : This break down is so ear hear and essential! 15:49 : inversion! 17:00 : Bring on the phat chords! The bassist and soloist, in the house! Stacking those chords, perfect 4ths, warmly supports and delights live reciprocity! The F min 11 chord makes toes curl! 😎 Am so grateful that you exist and provide such remarkable talent, teaching ,and virtuosity! Thank you, Ms. Aimee Nolte, Respectfully.

@aleksey6151 Год назад

Thank you for the wonderful tutorial! Would love if you did a tutorial for improv with these chords too!

@WyattLite-n-inn Год назад

Ok that’s it.. “Everything I know about chords”.. I’m joining Nebula right now ! PS. Love your “No boundaries “ approach to music . Fun fact : I was a part of the first hip hop/jazz collaborations.. Bob Belden produced , Chris Potter’s very FIRST real record date at 19, Dave Kikoski on keys . ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FwHxk3WwNvM.html So I have all the more appreciation for what it is that you do (I’m primarily a jazz drummer and composer

@DanielBarberMusic Год назад

Beautiful video, like so many of your others. Was fun to feel through this. Always fun to integrate the quartal thinking along with traditional jazz voicing thinking. And what a beautiful song to play over. Thanks so much for your contribution to so many of us developing our musicality.

@KenFullman Год назад

This is like a Mandella effect moment for me. I saw George Benson LIVE singing this song. I assumed that it was one of his own. If you do a search on youtube you'll even find "George Benson just the two of us" but it's being sung by Bill Withers? I'm totally lost

@winstonwolfe5733 Год назад

As pianist, your best friend is the bassist, so no, you don't want to go in his way. Unless you're called Horace Silver. Thanks for the vid. Very educational and really interesting break down of this beautiful song. This can and should be applied to any tune. Even (or especially) standards.

@vancewesterberg4509 Год назад

Just stumbled upon your vid. I dont know how to play or even read sheet music. But i love to sing a lot of different songs. When you started singing my ears perked up and the hairs on my arm stood up. Your voice is amazing!!!

@robertlayton5362 Год назад

another inspiring lesson full of useful information, thank you. I'm an amateur guitarist and I enjoy taking your ideas and applying them to my playing. (Selfishly) I think it would be great if an accomplished guitarist took the ideas in your lessons and explored/suggested/demonstrated how they might be used by a guitarist. Heading over to nebula now ...

@gdamad1826 Год назад

Great analysis of this beautiful chord progression! Also the groove you suggested for this song in the other video was great. After having seen it I cannot play this song without that groove!!! Thanks for both!! P.S. as far as I can seen, one chord is not named correctly in level 4 sheet

@2410thijs11 Год назад

Hi Aimee, thanks for a great video. One harmonical question I have: why are there 5 flats in the music notation while the progression is in F minor? I would expect 4 flats in F minor

@AimeeNolte Год назад

That’s a really good question. It’s a mistake on my part. I’m embarrassed.Sheeze

@thomassciaroni6942 8 месяцев назад

I read a big band chart of this tune in Dm. But Fm makes sense. I wonder, can you go Fm7, Em7, Ebm7, D7(b5) Db7 etc French 6th D7(b5) resolves down a half step. Just thinking about it, I havent gone to the piano yet.

@michaeleaster1815 Год назад

wonderful lesson and fabulous song choice... I remember it from my youth but didn't realize it is just sublime!

@julitodelpaquisto4712 Год назад

thank you so much at 5min 55 i love your bass like groove it sounds very funky for me i need to feel that maybe i am wrong but i think that there so much things to create on the left hand for pianist keep going it sounds terrible

@lord_zoog Год назад

at @1:06 i'm hearing a high Bb on the Ebmi9 chord, but i don't see your hands playing it nor is it on the sheet music. Trying to figure out if i'm crazy or if your piano is adding extensions, or you maybe overdubbed the video with an different recording of you playing. Either way a great lesson and I appreciate it! Progression is used in so much stuff I want to get these changes down.

@lord_zoog Год назад

maybe my brain is putting it in there cause that's also the note you're singing? (The 5th of the chord). I'm questioning my sanity at this point

@lord_zoog Год назад

edit: just realized you explain that it's a different inversion at 9:40, which has the Bb in it, so you must have used audio from a different take. thankfully im not crazy and if anyone else sees this know that they aren't hearing things either! :)

@AimeeNolte Год назад

That’s so funny. I think it’s probably just your ears playing tricks on you or an over toned coming from the piano. I didn’t use any different audio. Sorry it’s driving you nuts but I don’t think there’s a good explanation. Lol.

@lord_zoog Год назад

So wild! I'm sitting here alternating between 1:06 and 9:40 and they sound almost the same to me, both with the Bb ringing. I must be sensitive to some overtone or something in that chord, if anyone else hears this let me know 🥺, @@AimeeNolte

@georgehiggins1320 Год назад

This is such a fun progression to play. I remember learning it from one from your older videos. So many fun extensions fit over each chord.

@johanpersson8156 Год назад

So thankful for being allowed to take part of this for free! Fabulously executed with perfect tempo as far as the teaching and, of course, pure joy to just listen to this super-ultra-mega-talented woman! We are truly blessed! Thank you! Learning something new everyday from you, musically but most of all new and more enjoyable methods of practicing, just incredible ❤️ PS. Was the piano a tiny bit out of tune, or was it just me? It sounded a bit off to me, especially in the higher registers. Just me?

@AimeeNolte Год назад

You can download the Nebula app on your smart TV, or on your phone. Or you can just go to the website and login. Make sure to check your email from Nebula. That should have come when you signed up for Curiosity Stream. You won’t find me on Curiosity Stream. Only Nebula. Let me know if that helps. And thanks for signing up!

Stronger Than You is a song from the show Steven Universe that unabashedly uses this progression, and it’s so intentional because the lyrics are about unity between two partners (who are queer aliens… it’s a fantastic show with fantastic music!)
