This channel is incredible. My struggle was always how to learn richer sounding chords and how to implement them. My overall music vocabulary never got passed an intermediate level. This channel gives the vocab and situations to use it! Thank you! You are the man
The way I memorize this chord is by playing a dominant 7th chord and playing a major triad above it but the interval is a major 3rd below the root note of the dominant chord, sound complicated to type my explanation but easier to show 😅
Another way that I was thinking of is playing a dominant 7 chord (omit the 5th) and then play the flatted 6th chord major triad above it. For my mind, a flatted 6th is a little easier for me to recognize quickly.
Yeah dude with your open voicing, this chord won't terrify the pastor but it will still impress the musicians in the congregation! Nolan Williams Jr. has done some crazy stuff with this chord, he wrote a part for me with a section that had the entire melody harmonized with #9 chords all built from the melody downward, it was very Stravinsky-sounding. So you can always try that if you have the urge to really freak people out, lol.
sean i listen your podcast on google but i just want to be sure which part of the human ears of vocabulary which vocabulary i must study on to listen to the notes and melody carefully by sensing sound on the piano i just want to be sure if i thinking right thing please
Basically the idea is that the ear should be used to identify sounds and chords, you need to have these chords as a part of your existing vocabulary in order for your ear to hear them. The goal is to build your chord vocab first, then build ear second
Lesson is good but maybe for me the sound isn’t cutting through and I’m using headphones try a brighter sound...maybe? Because I can’t hear the sound clear it’s muddy to me,
