Sade's Quiet Storm Chords 

Well said, some musicians are very talented and they want everyone to know and will play louder and harder than the vocals to the point where you can’t hear the singer which is the main feature 😳

Yes, I always thought that a good singer MUST have also have a GOOD BAND. They are nothing without the other!

Agreed!

The intention to make money ya

Man, you're setting yourself up for great disappointments... Do you know she goes to the toilets? Goddesses don't. Understanding that, once and for all, will save you a lot of money! ;) Enjoy her music, though! :)

@@jph7957 that's a lie girls don't shit

@@ggthewhale Yes, they do! And on your face, too, if you're not careful! :D

@@meatyout you're hilarious :D but thankfully my fetishes aren't scatological

Agreed!

@@OpenStudioJazz :D I enjoyed the analysis of their songs in this video. Thanks!

They all write the music

Thanks Eric! More to come!

Wonderful, Christian! We love to hear it. Thanks for tuning in!

That sounds like the BEST concert.

Thanks Javier!

Thanks Rob! We've got some more up our sleeve.

@@OpenStudioJazz I'm so glad! I loved this exercise so much I shared it with 2 of my students already :)

The song "Paradise" has a pretty cool baseline, and I think, it really grooves. It definitely gets my attention, along with "Sweetest Taboo."

@@kevinoconnor2921 Duly noted, Kev; I'll have to go back and give "Paradise" a good re-listening. Thanks.

Let me add “is it a crime” here hehe

Thanks for watching :)

In the Air Tonight

​@@seanfitz81 he discusses that in the video...

Awesome, thanks for sharing!

@@OpenStudioJazz now its been at least 5 times I went over the chords with you Adam. Great practice for a newbie trying to learn how to navigate the keyboard and learn chord shapes. More of such lessons please :)

Thanks for watching, Francis! We're back with these every Tuesday/Friday!

Great to hear, thanks for watching!

Yes, but it's all over a pedal D.

You're very welcome!

+1 for steely dan, or that great song Maxine by Donald Fagen

Steely Dan you say?? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ITCrFGABVzg.html

Happy to help!

10:30

Thanks for watching!

Yo! I don't know that song but I'll check it out. 🙌🏼 Honored to have you here with us Federico!

@@adammaness I think you're gonna love that tune....It's heartbreaking. Did you ever see the documentary about the making of "Face Value" (Phil's solo debut)?? It's beautiful. Hey man, bofyall some bad cats and I'm happy you're happy [I'm here]....😂🤣

“If leaving me...” is a masterpiece. I would have loved to hear it sung by Luther Vandross

@@mico5678 Mmmmm....I dunno....Some things just can't be topped (or re-imagined) and should be left alone. I do think Luther could have done it justice....but the thing about that song - other than the beautiful simple yet haunting harmony/melody and it's slightly oblique form - is that lyric!! Truly heartbreaking, especially when you realize every word is true; and I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Ernie Watts' amazing intro (and outro) statements: his contribution is as important to the song as every through composed note on it. It's very easy for many to give in to the feelings of this song and, if one's not careful, it can easily cross over into cheap (or gratuitous) sentimentalism. It's such a tender piece of music....the key would be not to over emote. I always say [that] there are [some] tunes that are so beautifully crafted, that all one has to do is put one's hands on it and they bring one home!! I think Luther might have been able to glean that [about this tune] and do it justice...but I'm too attached to the arrangement and the playing on this - and Phil's vocal performance too [obviously]. Great to read your message and connect with someone who also loves this tune; not many people know it....Sending you a vibe.

@@FedericoGPena I understand your perplexity ... this song is a miracle of balance and it would be very easy to distort it. Thanks for the feedback and have a good life 👍🙏

100% agree. Sheet music doesn't do it justice, and the rhythm is particularly important.

Great suggestion! We'll keep that in mind

@@OpenStudioJazz and/or his introductions to "Take Me to the Pilot", which sometimes veer towards Jazz territory.

Just some loops in Logic. Thanks!

Thanks Donald! Shoot us an email to suport@openstudionetwork.com if you'd like some help picking out the best course for you.

If these people knew what they were doing, you wouldn't see them on RU-vid.

Thanks for tuning in!

I don't think so. Sade is the name of the singer, but also the band. The band has been together for decades and full of very talented musicians.

The Rhodes isn't a real instrument. It is electric. The Piano is.

@@bazingacurta2567 You are right. My definition is digital vs. analog.

@@ABCABC-gv1gc And what makes an analog instrument more "real" than a digital one?

@@bazingacurta2567 please dont... have you not heard the term "analog warmth"?

@@dincerekin Sure I have, and why does "analog warmth" make analog instruments more real than digital ones? Does the piano have "analog warmth"?

You are welcome!

Didn't watch, huh?

4 chords in chorus of “In The Air Tonight” oh lord!

It’s her name too so it is eponymous.

@@nickdryad her name is helen

@@KiloTrackzYeah but that's her non professional name. I mean. whose gonna ask "do you like Helen Adu's early stuff or her later stuff?" It's like Sting or David Bowie. Their stage name is what counts. Off stage David Bowie was David jones according to his wife and Kids.

@@nickdryad like I said Sade is the band.

@@KiloTrackz it her name too.

What did I say?

@@adammaness Quiet storm

@@rolandwyss Ah, I see how my title could be misleading now. “Quiet Storm Chords” is a reference to the Quiet Storm radio format found on R&B stations in the 70s and 80s. I thought it was a nice thread that “Sweetest Taboo” has the phrase in the lyrics as well as a literal quiet storm in the video.

Oh, ok....! Now I understand!👍 Thanks for the explanation. (Guy from abroad that has no clue...😂)

@@adammaness btw - I have learned so much with your courses and your free online online content...I'm really grateful. thanks a lot for everything!

Most people have no idea Sade is an entire band made up of four members. Helen Folasade Adu - lead vocals Stuart Matthewman - guitar & Saxophone Andrew Hale - Keyboard Paul Denman - Bass The other three are amazing musicians.

Her name is Helen Folasade Adu CBE but she goes by Sade Adu

@@keendreams88 ok so Sade is not the name of the band?

@@markosmi81 Her name is Sade and her group (if they still perform together) are called Sade. Much the same as many pop singers, like Madonna, etc. Don't use a separate name for the musical group.

Depends on who used them first. You’re obviously referring to In the Air Tonight which was released in 1981. Sade is listed on Wikipedia as being active from 1982 on.

@@CygnusRoc nah, it really doesn't even have to go that far. Harmony is extremely difficult to win a lawsuit over because of how generic chord progressions ultimately are. They're used in thousands of songs. Melody is where cases tend to be fought, unless is a specific riff or bar

@@avr5439 Well even melody is hard to prove actually. Spirit tried that with their song Taurus vis a vis Zeppelin’s Stairway to Heaven. But we know what happened, Zeppelin won out.

@@CygnusRoc for sure, it's not a guaranteed win, but just where most try. Chord progressions are too generic to really get anything for
