#84: Tritone Substitution Simplified 

PRAISE GOD ALMIGHTY THAT I FOUND YOU YESTERDAY AND I COULD HAVE PLAY GOSPEL PIANO MUCH BETTER TODAY AND I HEARD YOU'RE MOVING TO MY FAVORITE BEAUTIFUL BEACHES AND SUNSHINE AND FUN, FUN AND FUN STATES OF FLORIDA; AND TRULY HOPE YOU CONTINUE TEACHING GOSPEL PIANO AND PRAISE GOD FOR NOW I AM HAPPY TO LEARN WHAT YOU ALREADY POSTED ON RU-vid AND GOD BLESS YOU ON YOUR MOVING TO FLORIDA! MAHALO AND ALOFA BRO.

I've been playing hymns for about a year now daily on the piano, and I'm so amazed at the growth the Lord gave me, both in skill and in spiritual life. Got a long ways to go to play freely like you brother, but man It's exciting to grow

The seventh is important because it leads somewhere. The third, to define the chord and the seventh leads our ears to the resolution. The purpose of “dominant” chords are to resolve our ears somewhere. I love that you talk about the importance of how to voice correctly. I’ve been learning closed voicing and it’s key to make sure you do not cloud the melody line. Therefore we put all other harmonies below the melody line. Voice according to the melody line, that’s why your voicing sounds so good

Absolutely beautiful rendition of "What a friend we have in Jesus." Thank you so much for all the knowledge you have given, my playing and understanding has deepened so much since I found your channel.

Excellent lesson. Clear, concise and well explained without all the stupid silliness and crap on hundreds of other sites. Very helpful. Solid theory information. Thanks. Well done.

By far the best teacher on RU-vid! Please don't ever stop doing these videos! You have helped me out a lot!

A lot of concepts you manage to crystallize within a short period of time in your videos. Your explanations are very helpful.

I am saying that you give the formula of the trick, without going all the way and nailing the proof, which is based on the definition of the tritone. That jump to the trick is like throwing a 12 inch piperinch at the keyboard. I am so happy that I can follow at this level , now I see the tritone come alive at the keyboard. Again, thank you , for making music understandable to all.Much LUV.

I have to say bro that you get straight to the point and you simplify it well and you can sing we winning. Learning from you. Thank you.

So far you are my number one teacher on the internet not because of nothing other than the fact that you are a patient teacher you take time to explain you do not rush. I notice you always explain the terms and definition before you elaborate on a topic. I have been playing the piano for years without any outside help. The internet is my college thanks brother i will be studying music for life it keeps me busy when there is nothing is going and gives me hope. Like i said you are a master in music. I am from jamaica but i love great music the blues the jazz and the classics and also gospel .

As you’ve done many times, you explained something that I’ve been doing for years but did not know the terminology and theory of it. Thanks!

I love you on the keys. Pls do not stop teaching us the way you do. God bless you

WOW !! Beautiful melody What a friend we have in jesus. Yr a Pro.

always patient to teach someone one. GOD BLESS YOU MY MENTOR ONCE AGAIN.

You're the best. Easy way to teach is what no one get it now day. I'm beginner - intermediate. Thanks Mr. Warren

Best tutetorial I watched on RU-vid i swear about Tritone substitution. You genius Warren

Warren, you are a rarity: An EXCELLENT teacher. Thank you : )

I replayed the first part of the video a few times just to listen enjoy the new jazzy life you put into this song.

Master class!Tritones have always given me a challenge,when to use them and how to apply it to my playing.I have a clearer understanding now thanks Prof.Warren my bro.!

Hmm, of the truth sir, ever since i started following you on RU-vid & clicking the subcribed botton, i know my piano playing has improved from the level it was to the next level. You made me understand clearly about extended chords how to creare & apply them, some passing chords, reharms, & now getting to understand tritone substitution....., may God bless you & the good works of your hands. A very big thank you to you sir. I can say the way you tutor is very unique sir, & you reveal every truth about piano theory... Keep on the good work sir. I really appreciate you. God used you as a blessing to me & others, God bless you in a big way sir.

Wow.... Eye opener! "voice it to the melody" this is dunamis!! Thank you Warren. God bless you.

I’ll like recommend this channel to all gospel pianists out there. This is actually the best tutorial on Tritones and its substitutions on RU-vid like right now . The first video I watched on this channel was on diminished chords and since then I have been enjoying good quality lessons.

great way to break down a complex concept.

This channel is amazing! A real treasure for musicians!

You are one of the better teachers on YT, but here we have another meandering "tritone simplifed" like on so many channels. It's an improvised one take explanation, and no matter how gifted and blessed you are, no concise explanation of the concept is coming with those two limitations. So maybe it's a teaser. The real thing would get you 600k views, and many more purchases, but would take alot of planning and editing. I learned anyway and you are so pleasant, thank you. You have a bunch of great videos which have really helped me.

The best professor is and will always be professor warren !!!

Great job! Everything makes sense! Practicing by ear is important, and practicing everything in all of the different keys is essential. Great teacher

Thanks for clarifying that this is not a beginners concept. It's so frustrating for me to constantly see requests to play a lick or movement in another key. If you are unable ti play and transpose in all 12 keys, you're a beginner. Then I get these students and they get frustrated when I make them do the brain-work cause they just want the flair and flash. Haha You explain so clearly. Thanks!

Man... took me so long to find you but I'm glad I finally did. You explain it in simple words because you have a deep understanding of how it works. Subscribed. Thank you!! 🙏

Lemme tell you Bro... you're the best teacher EVER!!!!

Great stuff explained in a masterly way. Fantastic.

waaah as upto now i thank God for you on the the staffs you have been uploading. you been a great enlightment to the things i didn't know if i could ever know then on this thing call piano. thank you great work!

I love the way you played this song. I've been following you for a while and I can't say how much I did progress in such a short time. Thanks Warren

I could listen to this man play them keys all day! Amazing teacher and musician!!!

Great lesson as usual ! I put tritones sub everywhere now ! The more I do it, the easier it gets !!

Ok I got it yay! Now time to practice 🙂 thanks Warren, you’re a great teacher

Thank you Warren for making this video tutorial with such a great content.

Outstanding. Well done. Thanks.

Watching this in 2024!!! So good!

Excellent. These progressions sound awesome. I would have never have figured out exactly how they were constructed without your clear and elegant explanation. Thanks. Also would like to congratulate you for reaching over 50k subscribers, keep on doing good. Greetings from Scotland

Thank you Mr Warren for sharing the enlightenment of tritone, I'm now clear with it, I now have to practice them. God bless you Sir shalom!!!

Very nice showing the "midi" keyboard as you play.

I venture to say , " when voice is correct both the home chord as the sub will share the same resolve ". It will sound pleasingly as work it out at the keyboard. Thank so much. In passing, Elijah to ELISHA "if you see me when ....... ,you will have your blessing.

Thank you Warren

Very great stuff! Thanks Warren.
