Thanks for watching! What other lessons do you wish we did and what was your favorite part of this one?
HI, I'M ITALIAN, GREAT LESSON FOR BEGINNERS LIKE ME, BUT HAVE YOU USED BLOCK CORDS? ARE THERE ANY OTHER BLOCK CORDS LESSONS I MAY HAVE THE MATERIAL IN PDF? PAYING? THANK YOU
I've watched so many videos and finally... one which actually shows it in practise. I've learnt more from this video than all of the other videos put together. Good job!
Very good. You started with the music instead of the words. Well done.
Thanks. I'll try to remember that
This made reharm really accessible. Thank you for this great lesson!
This is worth a million! Thank you so much, maestro!
So glad it helped!
This is a dream coming true, thank you very much!
Super workshop! All in one place to review. Thanks 🙏 😊😊
So nice of you
Definitely the best, most practical resource I've found so far on reharmonisation! Thank you
Wow, thank you!
This is by far one of the best tutorials about reharmonization! This is super useful stuff! Thanks a lot!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!!
Great stuff. Harmony and reharmonizing is my new challenge for the new year. The added challenge is applying all this to guitar!
Go for it! Can't wait to hear what you come up with!
This is really beautiful!Thank you so much for this,great video!
So glad you liked it!
It's amazing lessons for the piano beginner like me and road to the new jazz world from you. Fantasy for Piano Harmonizes...
I just digged up a gold mine.
Thank you so much for your time & efforts.
Best Wishes!💝💝💝💝💝
Wonderful! Thanks
Crimony! That was a lot to chew on. I'm a guitar guy, but that was still amazing. Thanks for your time and knowledge!
Rock on! Thanks for watching!
Thank You, greatings from Poland :-)
Awesome!
so that's how it is done. i always wonder how jazz players change chords that doesn't disrupt the melodies. thanks! will give it a go. :)
Awesome! So much fun!
So glad you liked it
Goals....that came out gorgeous
Cool. Thank you. Thank chance. Thank the beautiful symmetry of sound. Thank the powers that allow us to take some tiny fraction of it in.
I've been starting to work on learning reharmonization and this is a gold mine. I got a fancy-schmancy book on the subject that had me thoroughly confused on page 3. The learn-by-example method is much better.
Glad you liked it!
Very nice job teaching this difficult subject.
Thanks!
This was awesome thank you very much!
Thanks for watching! Glad you liked it
Amazing lesson. Really useful.
Wow. Thanks!!
I enjoyed watching this, I'm a guitar player, but this helped me a lot about learning reharmonization
Cool! Glad it helped!
Your lessons are brilliant thankyou so much
Thank YOU so much!
This video is bloody fantastic thankyou
I'm bloody glad you liked it!
Great stuff, many thanks.
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!

Thanks man for your concept! Great video and very helpful for me. There's so much you can do, so I often get lost. 😛 I'm looking forward to check all that tools in order to make the most weird version out of 'oh Tannenbaum'. Cheers!
You can do it!
This is sooooo good!! Learned a lot!
Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Soooo helpful! Thanks man
Glad it helped!
This is indeed a good video on harmonizing. I've learned a lot. By the way are the downloads for this video and other mentioned links and related videos free ? Thanks for sharing.
I believe so. I don't remember what all I referenced, but we do have a lot of free workshops. Links in notes. Subscription is for premium content and personalized instruction.
amazing tutorial, keep it up
Thanks, will do!
Thanks for a great lession! What software and hardware do you use when notating on pdfs?
It's just an app on my Surface called Xodo. There are probably better ones out there, but I've just adapted with the equipment I have. Always open to suggestions
You are the best
Aw thanks!
the g6 sounds so beautiful
I agree!
@@LearnPianoLive no you don't
Thanku sr💖💖💖
Hi Jamin..thanx again for the reharms
@1:23:30 you played a Gdim7/A then decided to "leave it alone.." Lol
My ears were hoping you'd play it and you did; was pleasant. But can you please explain why the Gdim7/A was the "perfect" chord in that spot?
I see now at the end that you did the A7b9 (which is actually the Gdim7/A)... But still why does it gravitate there?
2 reasons: Familiarity breeds anticipation and the resolution justifies the premise.
First, a 1-6-2-5 is a thing you're used to. Familiarity breeds anticipation. The "C" is the "Why did the chicken cross the road?" the A7b9 is the "...To get to the other side." It may not be a funny joke anymore, but it at least feels right. Your experience (and the experience of most of the whole western world) says that an A-something (A7b9, in this case) is a right choice after a C chord, in the key of C That explains why you want that chord before I play it.
The second explanation might take some trust on your part because it's so counter-intuitive. The A7b9 is a horrible-sounding chord that the audience actually hates, but it gets retroactively enjoyed because of the fluidity with which it resolves. Back to the analogy: a good friend of yours walks up to you and half-whispers with melancholy tones, "Did I tell you about my butcher who accidentally backed up into his meat grinder last week?" You instantly experience a flood of normal reactions: (1) That's horrible! (2) I'm so sorry! (3) Is there anything we can do for him? (4) Shouldn't meat grinders have some kind of guards on them? (5) What percentage of deli meat is human? (6) Is that my butcher too? (7) Wait - my friend personally knows his butcher!? (8) Thank god me and my kids are all healthy today. Half a second later your friend continues, "Yeah, he got a little behind in his work." All in a split second, your first reaction is the horror that your friend is such a sociopath that he cares almost entirely about the friend's business, then the cognitive dissonance forces you to reject the sociopath theory and reach for another explanation. This was so out of character for your friend that perhaps this whole thing was intended to be humorous...double check: was there something humorous in the story as a whole? (This is why we frequently chuckle when we don't understand what a friend is saying in a casual conversation). Yes! Indeed, the word "behind" can mean both "need to catch up" and "rear end". The entire story was a humorous ruse. Cue appropriate laughter and supplement with additional laughter if needed, based on the importance of the relationship.
After the fact, all you remember was that your friend reinforced his desire to be perceived as funny, and there are zero lingering questions about the sociopathy of your friend and you have forgotten your insta-prayers, thanking God for the safety of your loved ones. The same thing happens in music: there are no wrong notes, as long as you resolve them well. This is the basis of bebop, which plays so many wrong notes so frequently, nearly a majority of it is just a chromatic (every single note) scale. For those not already familiar with the A7b9 sound, it does not sound good and they were not wanting it, but when the resolution is so complete, the audience creates a false, but equally compelling, memory of wanting it before it was played. (If you ever meet someone who you later learn is famous or important, you will re-remember your interaction in light of that person's new stature in your mind. Same often goes for people who die - memories of them are often grander than before.)
When this second thing happens enough times, it creates the first scenario - the anticipation from familiarity. When a different friend comes up to you and says, "My butcher backed up into his meat grinder," you don't recoil in disgust, but are triggered to start laughing even before the punchline (creating a very awkward situation if his butcher actually was debilitated by his own equipment). And this is why if you listen to enough of any genre of music enough you can start to appreciate it. Sure: at first, bebop is just a bunch of wrong notes, screamo isn't real music, and Elvis spewed the random noises and raucous incantations of Satan himself. But once you listen to enough of any of them, they get pretty predictable and maybe even enjoyable. I don't particularly enjoy the chicken-crossing-the-road genre of jokes, but I don't report any of the incidents to SPCA either. The resolution justifies the premise.
LearnPianoLive wow Jamin.. thanx man and GOD bless you for taking the time to respond.
One last thing..
How did YOU know to play that "sound" (Ab7b9) there? The song is in the key of C. The 2-5-1[to C] accured before the last beat of the measure therefore it still kinda felt like it could continue to "resolve." I know that it could have stayed on the Cmaj chord but like you stated "my familiarity bred the anticipation." But how does it work in theory?
The "e" is in the melody. Can any chord that has the "e" as the melody in its chord give the same "resolving feeling/effect?" (Or is it only because of my subconscious familiarity??)
I am asking because the "resolving sound/feeling/effect" is coming from a dominant chord..makes me scratch my head..
ME? How did I know? It's just a thing. Comedians have a lot of punchlines memorized. Musicians have a lot of chord progressions memorized. The former is probably more useful in picking up girls, but ya work with whatcha got I guess :)
More technically, the melody has nothing to do with it. A 6 often sounds good after a 1. But in general, 5 chords like to move to 1's. 2's like to move to 5's. 6's (as in this case, where A is the 6 of C) like to move to 2's. The complete progression of all the chords of a key is 7-3-6-2-5-1-4. Those are the smoothest moves for the chords in a key. Whenever you want to insert a chord, look at the chord you're going to and use the chord(s) before it in the 7-3-6-2-5-1-4 progression. Whenever you're getting heckled on stage, you can respond, "Hey, I'm working here. I don't come down to where you're working and knock the _____ out of your mouth." It's kind of the lazy way out, but it almost always works. (And for the kids reading this: I personally assume most comedians fill in the blank with "donut"?!?! I can't imagine what else would be funnier. By the way, why are your parents letting you read CZcams comments? People are horrible down here!)
LearnPianoLive u should also start a LearnComedyLive channel...thanx Jamin!
Great lesson!! Thanks for sharing. Say, should I download the PDF on a computer? I'm trying to do it on my mobile but it won't, once I click on the link, it will take me to a black page. Cheers!
Sorry - just updated the website PHP and my download links are broken at the moment. I'll let you know when it's back up...hopefully in a couple hours...
LearnPianoLive Thank you, indeed!
Looks like we're back up and running now. Had to revert back to the old version, so hopefully we'll be able to upgrade again soon when we've worked out the bugs. Thanks for letting me know!!
LearnPianoLive Download complete!!! Really appreciate it!
TOP!!!
Greetings Is it possible to get a copy of the check list lesson for reharmonization?
The modal interchange chart has 5 major for the minor keys, e.g., G major for C minor. But if C minor is CDEbFGAbBb, wouldn't the 5 be GBbD, a Gm? Or are you invoking the classical tenet of changing it to a leading tone?
Correct - I think the 5 chord in minor keys most commonly functions as a dominant chord, so we teach it that way. Also, the minor 5 is the default position for new students in a minor key, so it seems more important to point out that the 5 can be (or usually is) major than to point out that it can sometimes stay diatonic to the scale.
This tune is the basis of "What a Wonderful World".
Is it? You're right. I don't know how I didn't hear that before. Thanks!
Came across that too. The more you study music the more things start to unravel.
ngl this is so fun to watch
Gee thanks!
Why did you treat the Db7 as the 5th of a Gb major and not a Gbm harmonics?
Db7 is the 5 of Gb major and Gb minor. When it's acting like the 5 of a minor, you'll often have a flat 9 (if the 9 is added to the chord), but the 5 of a major will usually have a regular/raised(not sharp)/major 9.
I understand, but could you have use a 2nd dim instead of 2nd minor?
Or did the Db have to be the V7 of a GbM for a reason? :)
Yep! Good call. Either one could be logically/theoretically defended, but it would end up depending on what sounds cool to you.
I would have thought that a Dominant 9 would have some none diatonic notes... Please would you kindly explain where I misunderstood you when you said that you would only use diatonic notes.
Can you give me a time stamp for where it got confusing?
@@LearnPianoLive I'll have a look again... I think that I was was under the assumption that a Dominant 9 required a b7 which is non-diatonic.
I should have got a timestamp though. Sorry.
Is there any way to avoid raising the shoulders of jazz pianists ? I have heard of many shoulder injuries especially amongst beginners
I don't know - I haven't heard of such injuries, but in general, it's always good to stay alert and relaxed
Thaaaaaaaaanks
Thank you for watching!
Change that darn G6 chord please, instead of pausing and drawing attention to it each time you get there...😂 I think the G6 sounds great.
Very nice job on the logistics of your display and editing to the video.
Thanks Very Much - Lumpy
Haha! Thanks
Only one part of the melody at the beginning was Twinkle twinkle little star ☹ 134 min Vid wow !
I downloaded www.learnpianolive.com/Reharm, and although I am not a pianist (but a 7-string guitar player), I found your worksheet very interesting and systematic. I am currently working on a paper on reharmonization, mainly things that you have not (yet) covered. If you are interested I can send you a copy, when it is finished.

So sorry I missed this before. I'd love that!
Why are you making this simple song compliated?I started to enjoy your teaching.
yeah - reharm doesn't always make it better !?
Twinkle, Twinkle is as easy as ABC.
Nice catch
¿How can I download de PDF?
Sorry - the link was dead, but it should be fixed now at www.learnpianolive.com/Reharm
Thank you very much! It's fixed now! :D
The second one...relative switching....sounded like a cold play song lol
Totally
I have the following two suggestions:
1) If the chord progression is: |IVmaj7 / IVm7 /|and the melody is e.g. the 5th of the chord, one can try | IV#m7b5 / IVm7 / | (in C: | F#m7b5 / Fm7 / |
2) If the chord progression is: | Imaj7 / VI7 /| and the melody is e.g. the 5th of the chord, one can try | IMaj7 VII7#5 VIIb13 VI7 / | (in C: | CMaj7 B7#5 Bb13 AIm7 / |)
One more suggestion: please do not sing!
