Piano Lessons: Tritone Passing Chords Tutorial

[lwilson80]

Are passing chords good to use when you already have the chords to the song?

[TheHymnProject]

Never heard anyone explain how to apply the tritone as a passing chord like this. I can't wait to get home and try it!

[WilliamXbeats]

dope bruh!

[HORNMAN1959]

You are an excellent pianist! do you play in a jazz group or church band?

[MRJOSHmo44]

wow thank you bro this was sssssssssssssooooooooooooooooo helpful :)

[TheEli1963]

why in Cm u use B tritone not A tritone just wnt to know..

[maetro2]

@TheEli1963 It just sounds better to me, and remember your chord has to accommodate whatever the bass nite maybe. In this case it could be G, B, or C#

[121cheetah]

great information but hey how about if you want to get to a major chord what tritone do you use

[vidalfam]

thank u very very much

[Antisatan7771]

man your genius... i finally get it now after watching the vid like 5 times in diffrent weeks... that was outstanding bro... keep it up....GOD bless you...

[FideTheProducer]

Thanks for this video my man

[granthunt]

Thanks for the response. You seem to be using the tritones whist playing around a few minor chords. In a jazz context, playing consecutive minor chords like that can be quite rare. Any chance of demonstrating using tritones in more of a jazz context? ie, 2-5-1's, 2-5-2-5's, 3-6-2-5-1's etc etc

[granthunt]

Nice tips, sounds lovely but how do you know which triad on top of the tritone you're gonna use? Is it just a case of getting used to all the different ones and using your ears?

[maetro2]

@granthunt First off thanks for the comment, now this is only one way to use the tritone. I prefer this particular voicing to get to a minor chord. I'll post more variations on using them later. You can also try a major triad with your right hand and play the third and dom7 with the left. exam. G major, and F-C with the left. Common blues or old gospel voicing.

[renald005]

Good teaching brother. By the way, what kind of piano sound are you using bcuz I have the same keyboard

[maetro2]

@renald005 Im using the Live Grand sound

[whistlingboy]

[Apostolmcqueen]

[SoulfulBeatsTV]

You just inspired me to write again bro!! Thanks....

[miphone69]

good job. i found this really helpful as im a musician wanting to add variety to my style of play. other uses of tritones would be really appreciated

[skylineandcorvette]

That was the best explanation of tritones ever! Now i get it

[maetro2]

@skylineandcorvette wow thanks

[ralanbrown1]

hey paris this erica courtney is a evil piano teacher

[ROMANTICLOVE09]

Thanks!! That was very helpful!! I always wondered how to form a tritone with the proper chords!!!

[maetro2]

@ROMANTICLOVE09 Glad I could help, but also remember that this is only tritones as passing tones, it's many other ways to form them.

[ROMANTICLOVE09]

@maetro2 I would really love to learn more about tritones because I see in modern contemporary music they are used in almost every song...
