well, this kind of chords are used a lot in Brazil too since the 50s. If a brazilian hear you playing, he'll say that it seems like, as we call here, MPB genre (Brazilian Popular Music) but we use to put more dissonant chords between these progressions and use all kind of mix rhythms. Artists like Djavan, Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil and Lenine are examples of this use of chords. I recommend for everyone who love this kind of progression to hear songs like "Samurai" (Djavan), "Você E Linda" (Caetano Veloso), and other songs and enjoy it. Great video man!
@@joaodpaulatejando.3372 boa lembrança! O grande Toninho Horta tbem!! Porém ele e o Clube da Esquina vieram 25 anos depois de Johnny Alf, João Donato e os musicos do Beco das Garrafas no Rio, que já se aventurava nos anos pré-58, antes mesmo da Bossa Nova ser lançada usando esse tipo de dissonância na música popular.Na verdade esse recurso erudito que tbem se via no jazz já se ouvia seus primeiros passos por SP, RJ e Nordeste. Essa característica estava fluída pelos musicos pop brasileiros.
@@danielzugueibcoutinho5554 concordo com tudo o que falou!!! Pra min escutar um acorde desse é a mesma coisa que lembrar o Toninho Horta. Tem um lindo video dele tocando a música “Pilar” que ele fala de harmonia de forma bem humana e leve, pra min foi a melhor coisa que ja escutei harmonicamente, é muito, muito lindo.
I’m an older rock guitar guy who was always confused by the chords I’d hear on A Tribe Called Quest or D’Angelo songs. Your channel and expertise has brought me closer to these lush beautiful sounds than anything before. Thanks for everything your doing here.
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2tVVazJ7j18.html. Hey cuz if you want to do a deep dive this man is the OG Mastermind behind the Neo-Soul sound spanky Alfred Chalmers he's from Alabama he's a gospel artist but if you go and look up all of the songs he's been on he's been on a lot of tribe D'Angelo John Mayer he's been in the background for years check this video out I think you'll be pleasantly surprised bruh ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
This video would be 100 times easier to understand if there was a diagram on the screen showing the intervals of each voicing. I strongly suggest you use the page Oolimo, clicking the lab thing, setting on the light mode and clicking the "notes" button. You click the notes and the page says every chord that those intervals form as if each note were the root. Pretty cool stuff and it's free
Rotem, you're an outstanding teacher. Soft-spoken, understanding and talented. My musical life has been enriched watching your videos. Thanks and continued success to you!
This is very inspirational for me. I've always loved lofi music, and now I'm gonna come home from work today and do everything you're doing. Thank you!
The first twelve seconds of this video made me double take because I thought I was watching a Paul David's video for a second and brain farted, that gave a good chuckle, thanks for the lovely video
Rotem thank you for this, you're an amazing musician, I found your content literally 5 days ago and i've already learnt so much from you. These jazz chords and vibes are coming back big time! Keep doin what you love, many blessings to you. 🤘
I spent years not knowing my chords, self taught! And having a difficult time learning chords. I've always known certain chords, just never could name them. Ty for this...it definitely helped.
AMAZING VIDEO! These chords are also used in alot of Japanese Music (even traditional forms) I got into it through anime but the cadence and chord progressions of Japanese music fascinated me and it blends so well with stuff like Synth pop, Jazz and Funk Rock. I think the Japanese language lends itself quite beautifully to these Chords and chord progressions and I have a hunch that the dissonance you find typically in Japanese music may not be dissonant to Japanese people (possibly because it's the music they have heard everyday or due to the natural cadence and diction of the Japanese language or more likely I'm talking out of my ass)
When he says, “it was not easy at all” at last you know he meant it. Sound is just enough jazz to still be POP. Thank you. New visitor. Subscribed. 🙏🙏🙏
Adding some Jazz chords also makes them just OOOZ with what can only be described as spice, like ThunderCat or Flying Lotus or BADBADNOTGOOD or Crumb… if you implement those kinds of chords to your LoFi, you’ll reach Nujabes or J Dilla status.
I get it now what you are doing! You are building harmony or whatever it is. It is so cool. It's like working with a piano with fancy pedals that do the thing for you.
You've done it now Rotem! Now I have to sign up to your Patreon! Your approach and insights are so good I need the resources! Thanks for everything you do! ❤
Thank you for the inspiration! As fall is approaching I am ready for a more cozy, ambient style… this is perfect to snuggle in, light my fall candles and sit back with a cocktail ❤
Don't normally comment but just had to stop and say that this is just an awesome video. Literal elite level wisdom in spades and freely available. Thank you sir!
This was great, thanks for giving me something concrete to work on. You, Tomo Fujita, and Rick Graham have really dropped some gems as far as "learn this and level up significanfly" goes
Man! love your lessons so much I've learned a lot from you, one of the things I truly appreciate is that you are actually showing and not just telling, can't wait for the new course to be out, thank you!
This was amazing! I've been struggling for a while to understand if there's more to 'neo-soul / lofi' than 'jazz guitar chords on a beat'. Of course the chord progressions are a bit different in each. But for example, 'neo-soul chord melody' is pretty much the same thing as jazz chord melody (And Ted Greene is my favourite neo-soul player ever :) ). However, when there's a beat, the used chord shapes (at least here) are a bit different than in jazz, because in jazz it's the bass which is often taking the lower frequencies so one tends to play more on the higher strings. So thank you for opening my mind to the characteristics that make up this chill world of sound that people call neo-soul / lofi! :)
Woah. Everything makes sense now, I think you are a very good teacher/sharer (if it makes any sense). Is it me or your guitar sound keeps bouncing from left to right all the time ? Great effect, especially on the percussive part of the loop, it's very suttle but makes it very dynamic despite the repetition. It keeps everything in motion. How did you do that ?
3:38 with my perfect pitch, I was like, I wish he would do it with the D note just because I can already hear it and know it would sound so good, but then I was like, he probably won't do it, and then you did it and I was so happy and was like "I give up" LOL That's a like and sub from me!!! And great job on the video! Love the steps and all the editing too!!!
I just found your channel a couple of weeks ago and have watched lots of your vids. Thank you for making this available on RU-vid! I'm very new to guitar but I'm enjoying the journey now that music theory is easier to understand.
