this is the best piano tutorial i’ve come across on yt so far, i’ve been playing piano for years and have seen a huge improvement in my improvisation for the past few hours just playing with the melodic cell concept you introduced. can’t wait to try the harmonic cells
This is gold, thank you for sharing. Can't wait to try it! I'd be interested in knowing how you chose which chords work together! As someone who is just starting out with improv I'm still thinking in terms of key centers and scale degrees to build chords from, your method seems waaaay more fluid and sounds awesome!
How do you come up with chord progressions? Like how do you know that Ebmaj7, Em11, Am11, and Abmaj7 are compatible with each other?(not sounding awkward I guess) I can do extensions and play chords, but when I am trying to improvise from scratch- in jazz especially- and I'm trying to come up with progressions, I often have no idea which chord to play next. I hope it makes sense, and it'd be awesome if you would provide an explanation.
Noah,..these are great ideas. You are going beyond "improvising melody" to "improvising progressions". But your 'harmonic permutations' technique gives up something very dear also - the tension-release coherence that functional harmony gives you - which is substantial. But you could reclaim that by integrating some functional considerations within your harmonic permutations technique. Does your teaching get into things like that?
Hey Grant, as a matter of fact it does. In the course itself I talk about this more- i.e. how to structure strong progressions from the start. You make a very good point and I'm glad you thought of this!
Thanks, Thomas! Agreed, voicings are very important. One of the next steps of this method would be to take voicings through different voicing mastery techniques!
Came across this video a year after it was made (video still awesome nonetheless); however, I have a question for you: do Harmonic Cells have to be fifths? The reason I ask is because you used two "fifth-spaced" chords to do your improv... I am just wondering if one could do this exercise with fourths or even thirds... just curious... (excuse my musical terminology if it is not correct🤦🏿)
I just don't understand how he casually just "let us add a Eflat maj and A flat maj 7th chord". I need someone to explain to me why those arrangements sound so good...Is it because of the circle of fifths?
Hey good question- I think of chords inside of a progression as either transition chords or landing chords. Transition chords can really be almost anything and lie between landing chords, but the landing chords tend to be chords that are innately resolved like Major or Minor chords (as opposed to a sus or dominant chord which wants to resolve). You want to fall on a landing chord either at the beginning or end of the progression. But, beyond that, the whole point is that you don’t have to have a crazy amount of theory here- you can break progressions down into these small two-chord cells and build up from there!
French also please... almost 800 million people speak French in the world. It would also make it possible to focus on the piano. I can understand English but not instantly ... I have to take a break .... Too bad, because it becomes complicated to focus on the music when you have to constantly translate in your head..
I have been in music for over 50 years as a musician, composer, singer, you name it I've done it. In all the years I have never heard anyone use the word "Reharm". In fact it sounds very negative. Like you harmed the harmony again and again. Like you don't know the structure of the chords and you are using the incorrect chord. The word is "Reharmonize" You would look intelligent if you used the correct terminology. I realize people are always trying to create new words but that one word harms music in many ways. Of course if you want to say it Ghetto like. You definitely used the word correctly.
Hey Jesse, I understand where you’re coming from, but I’ve heard the word reharmonize shortened to reharm many times by many people and obviously I don’t mean anything bad by it- it’s literally just a shortening of the term reharmonize. In my mind it’s like saying they’re instead of they are. There’s no correct or incorrect, just a shorter version. That’s just my opinion though!

This is what I need.
Glad you found it, Devaro!
i love the fact that you have fun teaching this! I can tell when you finish a chord progression in this video. like @ 7:06 That's what music does.
Noah, YOU are an effective teacher. Excellent lesson!! THANK YOU!
Doug G in LV
I got yo post notis on your videos really be enlightening and helping
Hey, glad to hear that. Thanks for watching

Thanks, Alex! That's something I get into more in the course but I might make a video about it sometime!
@@NoahKellman awesome, thanks for letting me know! Appreciate your hard work
@@alexthompson6529 thanks Alex glad you're enjoying it feels great to hear! Keep up the good work on your end too
Yeah that's exactly what I too wanted to ask
Thanks man beautiful chords from the heart man Thanks Thanks Noah just what I need These type of beautiful chords
Glasper Vibes !!on this first chord progression
Thanks for sharing this lesson, really love modern Neo soul and reharms!
You're welcome, Eric! Glad to hear you enjoyed it.

@@NoahKellman Brilliant! Thanks, Noah.
Wow !!
Ah, so that's how you do it! Thanks for the insight! Will go and try...
28.9K subs, 495 thumbs up, and 9 fools who aren't buyin' what he's CELL-in.
Hahahah good one Terry 😂
Thanx, Maestro.
can you explain why in your intro you break the pattern of v m3 ^ m2 v M3 v m2 in the 2nd iteration?
I love this!!!
I totally love this!
Good intros
Yeah another nice one to open up perspective. Voicing is really important though. Anyways, love your Videos!! :)
Thanks, Thomas! Agreed, voicings are very important. One of the next steps of this method would be to take voicings through different voicing mastery techniques!
reminds me of "she's got to be somewhere" by the walrus himself, mister Dave-0 Crosby
Nice nice nice nice nice ;-)
Now that was some Great Sh!t!!!!!. Thanks
You’re welcome!
Very cool Noah! Thanks man.
You're welcome!
Noah, please tell me what sound you use and what settings. Could you tell VST Piano with a similar timbre.
great lesson.Wish their was a donation link,like other YT sites

A good vibes.how can i make some inprovisation(scales) and all of this is in what note?
I just don't understand how he casually just "let us add a Eflat maj and A flat maj 7th chord". I need someone to explain to me why those arrangements sound so good...Is it because of the circle of fifths?

@@NoahKellman Tux for the insight. Spent the day trying to figure this out and I feel like I understand it a little better
Jazz Piano Secrets course: Harmonic Cell theory ...there is sheet music ...i am interested in reaharmonitazion
Hey, yes I will have sheet music provided with extra examples of the methods talked about in the lessons.
DOPE lesson. thank you as always bro
Hey can you reharm a song using your Techniques and voicings?
I have yet to see him do that with well known jazz melodies though I'd think with his training he should be able to.
I'm not at this level. One day
Subtítulo spanish please from latinos and hispanos
Hey Jorge, I am working on this! I’ve had a lot of requests so I’m trying to figure out how to make it happen.
French also please... almost 800 million people speak French in the world. It would also make it possible to focus on the piano. I can understand English but not instantly ...

What the hell literally everyone says reharm what are you on about
Dude says he's been in music for over 50 years but never heard the term reharm. Where do you live? Narnia?
