Voicing the 2-5-1: Twelve Examples, from SIMPLE to ADVANCED
Vložit
- čas přidán 13. 06. 2024
- In this video, I will walk you through 12 different ways to voice the 2-5-1 progression in the key of C. We're going to start simple and easy, using triads, and then work our way up to more advanced voicings using concepts such as quartal harmony, polychords, tensions, cluster voicings, rootless chords and more. We won't be doing any substitutions, though - that's going to be a different video!
Although this video doesn't delve into the theory, here are some other videos from my channel that will help you explore some of the concepts here in more depth.
Overview of basic theory concepts:
• Piano Quickie 1: Namin...
Drop 2 voicings: • Drop Chords: Your New ...
Polychords: • SIMPLE piano trick to ...

• Piano and Guitar Harmo...
Quartal voicings:

• Jazz Piano Harmony: Fi... - Hudba
0:49 Inverted Triads
1:51 Drop-2
2:53 Inverted 7th Chords
3:38 Shell Voicings
5:58 Using Tensions
6:52 Rootless Voicings (Left Hand)
8:17 Cluster Voicings
9:57 Polychords #1
11:22 Polychords #2
12:24 Quartal Voicing #1
14:00 Left Hand Quartal Voicings

Thanks! Got yourself pinned :)

You just explained a whole semester of a jazz piano class in one video. Thanks!!!
Haha, I didn't really explain it though! Perhaps "demonstrated" might be a better word for it.
@@smoothbuddha7212 Why don't you do just that? Try playing what's demonstrated in the video in every key, I think that might help.
more like a whole year
What makes this so good is the incremental level of difficulty. Not getting stuck too long on one thing (not begging for subscriptions or likes).
Keep up the excellent work! A great resource for teachers, students and players everywhere.

@@MangoldProjectGold. hahaha!
@@MangoldProject bruh😂😂😂😂
I’ve been watching for over 3 years now, it’s really cool to understand the majority of the concepts in video now
This is a great video laid out in such an understandable format! Bill Evans was a master at creating counterpoint harmony as well inner voice movements in his chords 👍
This goes into my reference playlist today! Thank you for the great lessons. Your humility and willingness to teach inspires me every time I watch you, even if there are some concepts beyond my understanding currently. But I learn so much from you every time.
Thank you very much for all the care and effort you put into these videos, they are quite simply the best format and design of anything I have seen on CZcams (and I have watched quite a few).
Much appreciated!
MangoldProject: I'd really love to see a video from you explaining the ideas that go into the "noodling" right hand. At 5:45 and 8:05 for example. You clearly have a lot of go-to patterns, rhythms and scales that you know are going to sound great. And a lot of talent and practice, but I want to practice the Right Stuff! I'm going to transcribe those examples, but I know it's about concepts, not just notes, and I'm sure a video from you explaining those concepts would be amazing. Thank you.
Learn the scales, practice improvisation, there's no getting around that.
@@fuzati3000 Totally. But I bet MP has a load of useful stuff to share which he's learned - maybe the hard way - and which would make my practice more focussed and help me to get there faster. I'm not looking to avoid the practice; I'm looking to learn from the masters so that I improve faster. Just like any other subject - find an expert, listen to what they say, and put the work in.
@@ipudisciple I like your comment and I'm currently looking for the same thing. Did you ever find more resources since then? Or something that helped you make it click?
Halfway through: SUBSCRIBED!
What I really love about your presentation is that you give us an overview of different methods / techniques etc. which pave the way for further research. Its like the root (your presentation) + the upper structure of a chord (further research) :)
Dude, fantastic as always. I am mostly a guitar player, but I love your lessons and apply them in all musical applications.
Thanks! Always nice hearing from guitar players lurking in the shadows.
Another of your beginner to advanced videos. I listened to the first part, I'll start practicing and when I get better, I'll be back. You are a invaluable resource.
Merci beaucoup.
I have been reading different books and randomly experimenting on piano for a while for Jazz. I have come across all the concepts covered in the video, and it’s really nice to see everything covered in one video to validate everything my thinking of how to play jazz voicing. For example for ploy-chords and counterpoint I did not read it anywhere but more like experimenting such concepts on my own, and really good to know it’s actually a valid way to play in such styles for Jazz. Great video and thank you so much!
Thank you, you are a fantastic teacher and I always learn so much from you.
Now let me learn these concepts for the next 6 months. Thank you so much for breaking it down into digestible bits. 🙏🏾
Tried to go through all these for years... You really simplify:-) great work tahnks
Every video you upload is simply amazing! I find it easiest to learn from you because of the way you teach
Thanks. You made me want to go have lunch.
MangoldProject lol lovely hope you enjoyed it if you had it
Awesome video man. You're an inspiration to get better every day! I really like the rootless chord sound. Try to use it more often now. Thanks for posting :)
15:44 *plays that monstrosity* "uhh, G"
Helps if you think of it in the altered dominant scale
This video just opened my mind to understand jazz like never before
This video has taken my back years, reminding me how far I've come
It's always good to enjoy what we have as well as get motivated by what we still have to learn!
This video is packed more densely than those cluster voicings! Great video to "Add to watch later".
Thank you so much for posting these amazing lessons over the years! I have learned so much from them, your a fantastic instructor!
Thanks Claude.
The Riffing you do is what you should be teaching. The fast playing where your fingers seem to make all that beautiful sound is what I want to learn to do.
Riffing is also too general to focus on. Anything in particular? (Specific timestamps would be useful)
Awesome video! It has a hole semester to study, or even one year. Congratulations! Make a video about counterpoint techniques, how to use it for comping and etc.
this guy definitely knows what he's doing
Clear, smooth and very pleasant explanation, the icing on the cake is this genius app, i’m gonna buy it. Congratulations !
i appreciate this video very much. It will help me take my playing to another level. Thanks!
Excellent video - clearly demonstrated and explained.
Amazing lesson. Thank you kind sir!
Excellent work, thank you.
Very well explained. Thank you for posting it 👍😎
You truly are a blessing. I have been learning most of these "tricks" to my students, while many others keep them for themselves, pretending they are secrets. That way a student will never learn.
Thanks Alex. I don't think people keep them to themselves on purpose. It's just that a lot of excellent players don't happen to care or think about teaching their knowledge.
I needed this so bad. I thank you sir. The next best thing to do after having is giving. Thank you.
Wow!!! I have dreams about the 2-5-1 progression. Ever since I heard the ending to the video of the prince of Egypt I have never heard such a resplendent sound. My jaw dropped when I heard the drop 2!!!
Very informative! Thank you!
May God richly bless you sir!!! I have learned a tremendous amount from your videos
You’re the best...!! Awesome as usual...!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Awesome video. Thank you!
best teacher all the time in the world in my opinion
Awesome video, I liked your soloing! Wish you had gone more into depth about counterpoint, I love that sort of passing chord playing where you stretch out a progression by adding flavorful chords in between.
AWESOME STUFF! THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
There is music and then, there is music. I listen to these voicings and its like I just dug up a diamond; like I just discovered a totally new colour. And suddenly parts of my body that I didn't realise we're so tense start to relax. Man, this music thing is so beautiful. Thank you!
This is great thanks so much for this!
Very important class.... Thanks sir
Wow amazing details.
This is the video that I needed, thank you!
You don't always get what you want, but if you try, sometimes you might get what you need.
Very helpful, thanks
First of all thank you very much, your lessons are always amazing. I have a suggestion/request: lately I've been getting into latin music and so I was wondering if you could make a video to explain the differences of the main latin genres like bossa nova, samba, rumba etc... Keep up the good work!
I'm far from being an expert on latin music I'm afraid ... and I don't like talking about things I don't really know anything about. Sorry ...
This is outstanding 🙌🏾🙋🏾♀️😊..
I’ll definitely practice this.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Great vid. Thanks.
Excellent video 👍👌
You are awesome!
Thank you 🖖
I love this channel.
🥳👍 great lesson.
Great video!
VERY GOOD TUTORIAL 👍🏽👍🏽✅✅❤️❤️🎼🎼
Great! Thanks a lot.
Great video ty
Great, thanks.
Awesome - thanks!
You're welcome!
Very nice 👌🐯
I'm beginning to learn keyboard/piano, and I honestly think 7th + inversion + drop 2 is the max I'm going to go haha (quartal voicing sounds good too).
Beyond that, it just seems way to complex and departing from the root chords for me (basically too advanced for my ears haha).
Great video!
Give it time. You'll crave it in the end ... :)
Thank you .... a lot, regards
Amazing!!!!
this video was so good I took actual notes
I always take notes!
You're the best!
Thank you for this great lesson!
I love ur tutorial
Can you please do a tutorial on how to do jazz runs over chords like the ones you did at 14:22?! That would be amazing! I have been wondering how to play melodies or runs like that. If you would be able to specify the choice of notes or patterns you use to construct those runs as well as the kind of swing timing that you might apply with it, I would be so grateful! Not that I am not grateful already, your videos are such a big help!
I'm a jazz pianist.... Runs you can either copy from other people... Or you can construct them yourself using scales, modes, and simply playing around with what sounds good...
When you take a 251 progression the very first thing you want to do is play around with the chord tones... When that gets boring, move on to playing with the scales... The Major scale of the 1 in 251 (use the pentatonic scale, blues scale, etc. Then move into modes based on the 2 and 5. Then use scales outside the diatonic as long as you can resolve to the 251 progression within your phrase. You have to feel it and have jam sessions with yourself.... Eventually you'll be able to hear things you want to play... It takes time and practice
Awesome lesson. Thanks again! 🙏
Thanks
as you have a RD2000 which piano sound did you layer and with which pad please, great video !!
It's in the programs section. A12 I think ("Stage Piano").
That moment you realize there is SO much to learn...
You can say that again... but just finding this youtube channel is a step in the right direction let me tell you
Never EVER get discouraged my friend, the willingness and drive to want to learn is all it takes to improve! ^^
@@sotwiis7ed You guys are right--good thing it's fun!
The more I learn the less I know
Well, that's the feeling I get every time I listen to Oscar Peterson play. It never goes away.
Thank you very much, I just subscribed to your channel I worked it out in 12 keys and put something to it your 5-8#11 right hand on the dominant with 7-b3-b13 in LH, for in stance on C7 ( I tried to work it out on 4 Triads of octatonic scale as you know, so LH Bb Eb Ab RH: as you did(1st one): Db Gb-C and than also 2nd and 3rd:(RH): EA-C# and G-C-F# but the last one I gues the LH has to change in maybe7#9 like E-Bb-D# and than Bb Eb -A-G because of the Eb could you maube do lesson with those extra vocing possibilitie's? Also i did on the Ist step: LH (in Fmajor) A D G(as you showed) and DG C# -(with a solution possibility to B) and C-F B- going to A maybe, I wish this commend is helpful, maybe this is too outsight? please let me know!
Thanks I thought it was more difficult
Hi thanks always for great video! Can you tell me what program are you using for the notes and key light? Thank you!
ChordieApp.
yes yes yes thank youuuuuuuu
this quickly turned into Sunday Morning
@11.57 I think you meant to say G7 not C7 .if I’m right your lessons are working ☺️
Another good is C7 + D major triad for a Cdominant sound, I've maybe even got it from you! You know when a big band finishes a tune it's usually a huge chord in the end, you could make a video on finishing chords on songs!
I do have a video on 13#11 chords :)
@@MangoldProject nice! Gotta check that out!
15:00 G7(b13,#9,b9)
Is there a chord that would be great to help repeat patterns of ii-V-I or bind them to other keys? I'm trying to find a way to navigate the entire Circle of Fifths.
You mean you're looking for a practice pattern for 2-5-1s, going through all keys? Why not just play 2-5-1s and transpose by a perfect fifth or fourth each time?
I just want to sound like you. RIGHT NOWWWWW!
Hi, MangoldProject.. what software do you use for showing the piano keys and the musican notation on the upper part of your screen?
ChordieApp.
@@MangoldProject Thank you :)
Since I never have seen your face, and your accent sounds just like this of Yuval Noah Harari , I always think you are him :)
Love your lessons🙏🏼
Maybe I *AM* Yuval Noah Harari ... :)
MangoldProject than let me tell you i love your book 👍🏼😃
2:31 mans just explained the entirety of gospel
At 11:59 you said "Again I have a C dominant 7th on the left hand.." it's a "G Dominant 7th".. not to correct you, you are a Master... Love the videos. They are incredibly great...
Yeah, it's inevitable that mistakes creep in ... I have no idea how to go back and them out, though. One can only hope people read the comments.
@@MangoldProject Your videos are really amazing. Huge fan. At least I was paying attention in class…😂😂😂
I like it
I didn't understood the quartel voicing .......your left hand is holding notes in fourths but your right hand it's not ....and how did you come up with this, that...this quartel voicing is for Dm or G7 etc....please explain
It's not a full quartal voicing, just a partial one. Coming up with this? Just like any other player - you beg, borrow or steal the voicings you love! :)
15:03 Ghalfdim(b9,b13) or Gm7b5(b9,b13)??
That would be the function I think, but if the chord was isolated I think it would be an Eb11/F.
Bruno Serio i mean I would think of it as G7 (#9) (b9) #11 b13 basically just an altered chord, but yeah there’s no third or fifth
@@prodbyblake4408 If other instruments did the third and fifth I would name it like that, it makes more sense functionally.
At 11:52 are you sure you're saying it's C dominant? not G dominant? Because i'm a little confused...
Huh? Why did u play Db at 5;45-5;52 in shell voicing of G7? Tell me that was a mistake. I’m 🤷♂️. However I’m learning so much from this intense short tutorial. Btw it would have been nicer to see the actual chord notations on top of the sheet intead of the constant ‘Key C’ that appears at every play..
Excuse me, but isnt the Dm9 at 9:09 technically a Dm11?? or does it not really matter what you call it? How do you decide which it is?
Great video buh pretty basic stuff. Good job tho.
Try this instead:

What program is displaying the graphic of the piano keys and score?
ChordieApp.
Please make more tutorial about jazz Bebop Piano....thanks
How ironic that you are touching on the subject. I am having difficulty learning how to play the scales in one hand and the cords in the other hand through the circle of fourths. And then switching hands. Can you help with that. My problem is the big jumps to be able to play it contiguously. Thanks.
Great video, but for voicing one they weren’t inversions since the bass stayed the same you should have just called it smooth voice leading
The RH shapes are inversions.
😍😍
