Lol, "The fifth isn't really important." But I understand what you mean. Thanks for the help.

I've played the Piano for 11 years now and I learnt quite a lot of new things from this video! Especially on the "spicier" chords part. xD

[beurreaime]

Thanx you dude! It's really helpfull :) Continue doing great your great videos !! :)

[whereisg]

your videos are amazing my friend, great work

[jmorto11]

Great Videos! Don't know if you've covered it, but an explanation of drop 2 voicing would be nice. They show it plenty for guitar, but you rarely see it explained for piano. And it's one of my favorite sounds.

[macapple100]

hahaha ;p this is very useful ;p

So what kind of progressions could you use with the 9ths? Whenever I see the jazz masters play, it just seems like the chords they are playing and the direction they are going is just so far out of my league. But you seem to have a pretty good handle on it, maybe you can give me some ideas? Thanks again bud, you always have cool videos

[Pianofy]

Thanks a lot for these explanations ben :)

hiddengen is right though :P Those are quite common chords that use 9ths and Csus2 is not the same as Cadd2 :P

Well thanks anyways I learned some things here.

[amistrymister]

correct! Csus2 is the second on its own, and the add2 is the second added in with the major.

[hiddengen]

Csus2 and CAdd2 aren't the same. A sus2 chord is triad where the 3rd is 'suspended' and replaced by a major 2nd whereas an Add2 is a triad with a major 2nd added, still containing the third. Good 9th chords you missed are the Major 9th, Minor 9th and 6/9 chords

[MusicGuru12]

Well pointed out. I thought exactly the same when I came to edit it, but I really didn't want to record it again.

I did miss out those chords as this video was mostly about the way the just 9th note can be manipulated to give the chord a completely different sound.

Thanks for the comment.

You could always use the annotations feature to put a note there. Great vid though :)

[whereisg]

i actually understood what you said, i gotta get back into reading music man, any advice? i can never seem to stay focused when i try to play a sheet of music

[jamesmykal]

@hiddengen I wonder what notes would be in a maj9, wouldn't that just be an add9 chord?

[jamesmykal]

@hiddengen oh, wait I just tought of something, a maj would have the maj 7th instead of the dom 7th, is that right?

[hiddengen]

@jamesmykal Yes, that's right - a Major 9th chord would be a Major 7th chord plus a 9th - 1,3,5,7,9. You could use this chord on the tonic (I) or the subdominant (IV), and on the dominant you can of course have a dominant 7th or 9th. Hope this helps

[jamesmykal]

@hiddengen yes it does help, thanx to the intenet and people like yourself, i am slowly learning to play piano!

[ruskybalboa]

thanks man, now i can get my jazz music a lot better sounding!

[lunaseapirate]
