Learning to play Quennel's "At the Cross" Unscripted and Unedited 

Everyone says perfect pitch cause they want a quick understanding of how I’m picking up chords. But hearing chords has little to do with perfect pitch. I have tons of vids on the channel that talk about the process. Perfect pitch cannot be improved but the ear can, see latest vid on this Tips to hearing difficult gospel chords, runs, and moves |Ear Training and Breakdown

@@SeanWilsonPiano I think I understand what you are saying, my definition of perfect pitch is if some one start to sing you can start playing in that key without hesitation with no fumbling, however your great and thanks so much for your reply, i think ive seen all of your vids, and all of them are awesome, will continue to follow you, your the best to me, stay blessed.

That’s not perfect pitch that a REALLY good ear. Which you can develop as well. There is a link where I’m doing that on the channel, sometime in 2017

@@kennethjoshua3325 that's true pitch or pitch memory which I believe Sean has. It also let's you find the key of a song without an instrument but it's not quite perfect pitch

@@zoans6731 yes your memory serves you correct, I used the term "tonal memory" and "pitch recognition" which is my ability to remember what a note sounds like. People do this all the time, start singing a song in the same key even if they aren't musicians. They just remembered the notes, but that combined with good relative pitch, and a good ear, will be far more powerful than perfect pitch. FAR MORE... perfect pitch doesn't hear chords

Man, this is funny bro! lol

Oh that's a what folks talking about... ok, I'll take a listen

Ahh I see, didn't notice that. Nice catch!!

Finally, someone says relative pitch. That’s much closer to what it is, people say “perfect pitch” to cover everything... Anyway, off my soapbox, thanks man

Gerald Phiri glad to see you again doc!

He's genius man 😩

Doc!! Much appreciated man!

Appreciate that man, thanks!!!

Cause I forget to ask folks to share, forget to promote, forget to turn on the ads, and a host of things that I should be doing lol...

Welcome man, thanks!

Lol, yep!!!

You gonna have to post man!!!!

Sean Wilson Piano I did. I’ll send it to you bro!

@@SeanWilsonPiano Great! Thanks a lot Sean. Appreciate it.

I use keyscwpe, c7 piano

I hear you doc!

Funny thing is this one doesnt have as much teaching, you guys are just observing my process of learning the song in this one doc

Sean Wilson Piano keep up the amazing work, you literally helped changed the way I play🙌🏽

All this teaching I'm doing is growing y'alls ears doc.., but yeah, it is similar for sure, but in this case we are using 13 no 5 and b9 chords instead of #9, they're similar in function but slightly different qualities

John Wilson yes there are similar Voicings that he is using that are in “lift every voice”

Beat me to it.

Said the same thing

P.s. if you haven't already, please check him out doing I need there.

Yes that Hammond guy was great, I would love to know his chords. I was so hurt when I found out he passed.

Logic

Ooo ok

I review a couple minutes prior

Yes, always in the key. He just uses different movements and passing chords to get to the diatonic chords. The diatonic chords can also sound “out of the key” because of the extensions to them, but he stays in key, unless quick transposition through secondary dominants”

Funny you asked, just added that yesterday

@@SeanWilsonPiano WOW!!!!!!!!!

How do I get it?

Dwayne Davis I'm saying it will be coming soon, probably before summer is out

@@seanwilson75 oh ok cool! I'll stay on the lookout! I appreciate you, and what you do bro. Stay safe in these crazy times. Just know there is someone that keeps you and your family lifted in prayer!

interesting observation doc

Yep i picked that up too. Nice!

Tariq Baker no

😭man don’t retire man!!!! Thanks

@@SeanWilsonPiano I wont even though I be thinking about it. Sometime I be like I'll just sing Lol.

Someone needs to hurry and subscribe. Or fall off 🤣😂

At what part of the song?

And the burdens of my heart

Going from 2 chord to 5 chord

Man I'm going to take this time during this pandemic to try to launch my own teaching stuff too because watching you and all these other guys really inspires me to stop sitting on things I've learned in music even if I don't think I'm that good

The major/minor/diminished movement going to Emajor7 is 100% Barry Harris' approach (probably mr. Barry got it from Mary Lou William, or Bach... He says jazz is the continuation of classical)
