The famous jazz musician Charles Mingus (featured in the thumbnail) once said that "in jazz, there are no wrong notes, only wrong resolutions." He was jokingly referring to the fact that you can play some crazy notes which are out-of-scale, as long as you resolve to something consonant within-scale. In today's lesson we explore an extension of this idea to harmony: if we use some repeating or "good sounding" elements in a composition then we can incorporate some weirder sounding elements into it while remaining "consonant", or at least palatable to the listener. I will present seven different examples of this which will help drive this idea home.

    Thank you for the lesson! Is it possible to do the same with minor chords?

    • @MangoldProject
      @MangoldProject День тому

      Absolutely. The minor pentatonic is the major pentatonic built three semitones up (e.g. A minor pentatonic scale = C major pentatonic scale = A C D E G), so you can use all of the "motions" I demonstrated here while playing on an A minor chord.

    As a guitarist, I think it’s more valuable to learn the actual chord names. Pianists may benefit from this split way of thinking more because you can actually play completely separate chords with each hand.

I am a self taught piano by ear, I don't get involved with notes I simply can't handle them and I just go if it sounds nice is perfect if it doesn't it needs more working out and I am fine. Now tell me please do you show how to use ornaments and how they relate to the chords in left hand ? I have a feeling that I might suspect some other very tiny bits to clarify and someone like you will do it beautifully. Thank you for shearing such wonderful skill,bless you.

    This video is crazy.i am a piano teacher how a person can play this chord properly? Impossible. This video is NOT for beginners. A person firstly need to be taught how to sit and how to place hands on the keyboard otherwise they will play like they want with wrong position and thats the worst thing ever. To reteach will be a lot more headache than to teach properly from the very start. First theory basic after practice.

    • @MangoldProject

      90% of all successful and modern guitar players started out by just learning how to play a few simple chords. Nobody taught them how to sit or hold the guitar (there really aren't many ways to go wrong). I don't see why the same philosophy can't apply to beginners who are curious about the piano.
