Been doing this all year, gone through major, major 7ths, diminished, and half dim. Currently on dominants, I can confirm it is absolutely important to go through it, unconsciously I do in my playing. It has really helped a lot
How long did it take you to learn to the point where you can unconsciously do it in every key and apply it to your playing?
@@KCOOKSMUSIC honestly didn't put a time frame to it, our muscle memory differs, how we learn differs, experiences differ, I took each key per day and just grind on it, the main point is self belief, cos it was really hard initially. Playing drop voicings also helps with rootless style of playing
@@atereolusola2497 I feel you. I'm trying to it down in 30 days. A lot more challenging that I initially thought. Thanks for your insight.
Imm looking forwardvin learning. I'm still recovering from acmassive stroke and mentsll slow butcwith gods help snythingbis possible.
Well-done Bro
Finally thank Christ! A drop 2 exercise. You can search all over the internet and not any great drop 2 exercises. Thank you again Sean
Yeah this is just my way of doing it in order to learn them all⊠Iâve seen some other methods tho
He is so humble.
Seanâs thought process is scary, he is so intentional and doesnât touch a key or make a move for no reason. What a brain. Hard to emulate if you are not patient. I call it the Sean Wilson Piano way. And remember there is only one Sean. Sensei
Seansei
Excellent technical skillsâŠ.difficult to emulate except for more advanced players
Great lesson! I learned a lot and have a much better understanding of drop 2 voicings now. Thank you!
Amazing teaching brother. Thank you and God bless you.
A really helpful lesson, thank you Sean.
Iâm blessed to have such amazin teacher like uđ
2 min. in and Im already liking you. I like the way you comunicate, and you how you get right into it. Thank you for this lesson
thanks Sean for the lesson..watching your video is help me a lot to improve more..especially on the chord variationđđđđ
Man listen, I've seen a lot of drop two videos and none of them have left me as informed as yours! I not only just learned how they work, but how to form my own!! Thank you sooo much sir!!!
Great lesson, thanks so much Sean!
Yes! That practice schedule is EVERYTHING!!!! The website is the BEST!!!
Mr Sean uv really been a blessing Iâm hoping to join you academy soon ... greetings from Nigeria
man you just unlocked something Ive been trying to figure out for a looooong time
dudeâŠ.đđŒ
wonderful, thank you đđŒ
Sean,
thanks so much for all you do
You are very knowledgeable and humble about it..
Thank you for representing what a true leader is like ..
VERY EXCITED TO START DOING THIS THANK YOU VERY MUCH SIR
The systematic approach or the correct order to practice going from bottom of complexity to a higher level is so important that i think many times musicians fail in that aspect because its a lot of information to master, saludos
This is amazing thank you so much for putting this out here!!! Brilliant teaching as well by the way!!
Doc! Much appreciated man!
You are the best piano teacher on CZcams. You explain everything in detail.
Wow yes sir!! I appreciate much blessings.
Thank you sooooo much!!! It is really clear!
Great Exercise here that have truly proven to help improve drop 2 applications
Something that helped me is to think of the chord in two groups: root and 5th, and 3rd and 7th. You always have one of those in the left hand and the other on the right. When you go up and down you change to the other group in each hand. This also translates perfectly when you start doing the drop 2-4 voicings.
This is very beneficialđđŸ thank you
10:17 Such a beautiful progression!
Hello Sean... I am so happy for your content... greeetings from Luanda/Angola/Africa
*VERY POWERFUL VIDEO!!!* â€âđ„â€âđ„â€âđ„đ„đ„đ„
Great stuff! Thank you!
This is the best explanation I have ever seen of this seemingly mystical technique. I will definitely be practicing these. I think practicing them within the context of a key, or progression will help immensely too in helping to see how you transition between these kinds of voicings in a song.
Good stuff man!!
Damn Sean you think quick and you articulate so well. I love your teaching style and look forward to following you and your magnificent talent
Thanks man!
Sean this video made me confident in my playing therefore
Thank you Sean
You are doing a nice job man
This is gold.. subbed
You're a good teacher
This is a great video on drop 2 voicings
Your videos⊠even your demeanor and calm way are such blessings in my life. Thank you for your teaching. Youâre making my life so much happier with these lessons.
Wow, man!! Much appreciated.
Thanks sir 4 making me understand it. I appreciate it.
no problem man, thanks for the comment!
MagnĂfico tutorial. Muchas gracias y un fuerte abrazo.
this is very helpful. probably one of the most essential exercises I've come across
Im curious what other exercises people are relying on at the intermediate level. let me know what y'all think
Yooooo!!! This is wild!!!!!đ€Ż
Very creative đ„đđŸ
This is so dope!
going to start practicing this week. your sus2 -> quartal -> sus 4 was also very helpful!!!
Sounds good man!
Thank you very much this is amazing lesson đđđ
I've been including drop 2 chords in my pieces now for almost two years but I've had to painfully practice the phrases because I haven't been able to "see" the chords and put my hands on them instantly the way I can with closed voicings. These suggestions started to work for me the first hour I tried it. And if you distribute the chords with two notes on each hand, for some reason the pattern is easier to see. Thanks.
I appreciate you sharing your learning struggle because I have to watch most gospel tutorials with the undersranding that I'm mainly priming my subcinscious mind with a nebulous concept. The nebulous concept in this video us that there is something called a "drop 2" that must be understood without explanation.
yeah man, thanks for watching
Thanks, I've been searching for Drop 2s videos, and I could not find explicated lessons like yours.
Thereâs a bunch of them actually, Iâm just showing how I personally practice them
Thank you for this Sean
Youâre welcome, man!
if anybody thinks in intervals, I find that the pattern "p4 in left, p4 in both, p5 in left, p5 in both." is helpful for learning the inversions of the major and minor 7ths.
I also noticed when inverting the chords up the piano, the left hand interval of one chord will appear in right hand of the next chord. Vice versa when going downward. Can be a good reminder when you get stuck
Great stuff
Fantastic sir
I'm cool with your piano tutorial, your always the best
Wow, thank you bro!
Uncle sean i Salute you. Great teacher.
Much appreciated
First like! Great video as always!
Great lesson on these drop 2 chords, they are beautiful. These are super useful in other styles too. If you have a large left hand you can play these with the left hand only and walk stride piano chords (one chord per beat in 4/4) using them going to the next closest inversion with the left hand only opening up your right hand for soloing, more harmony or anything. Art Tatum and Oscar Peterson did this and it's a big sound. Keep up the great videos.
yes, another great usage, thanks!!
Tatum definitely played Drop-2s with his left hand, but his hands were HUGE.
Wow thanks! â„ïž
Thanks a lot, may God bless you.
you too doc, thanks!
I just learned these about a year ago and I thought I was the only person dividing each chord by 2 notes in each hand... now I donât feel like a misfit đ #thanks for the vid bro âđŸđčđ·
Let the fingers serve the sound, not the other way round.
Diminished 7 drop 2 voicingsđ„đ„đ„that's my area
thank you!
Letâs get it!!!!
Iâm just going through the major 7th drop 2 voicings and I keep forgetting to breath for some reason. This is a workout brođȘđœThanks for creating this video!
Yup the breath and spacing.. you got it bro!
When I'm playing on Sunday I have to constantly remind myself to breathe đ .
I need some more piano exercise to take my playing to the next level
Sean! This is really good. Like seriously thank you. Btw, Iâm almost certain these are the chords in Radioheadâs Idioteque, which is really a sample of some classical composer Iâm pretty sure. Itâs in Eb I think.
czcams.com/video/svwJTnZOaco/video.html
Great video! I was wondering about the dominants excercise. Do you include melodic minor in that excercise or you keep that for another routine?
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
Major, minor, half dim, dim7. If you ever had a old school Casio, this chord progression should ring a bell đ đ
Bro this is amazing! I have a request if possible, can you do a tutorial of âIn Awe Of Youâ By Izzy?
Thank you doc!
Im blessed oooh... please boss can you make a quick tutorial of T Sharp song's our lives belongs to you?(The intro) God bless you
there's a science to It...that Got me
Your Practice Exercise Sounds Like It Could Be A Song Within Itself. I'm Humming With The Exercise. I'll Holla When Get The Lyrics đ€đ. đ„đ”đ€đ
Only 77 comments????! Ppl donât get it. Thanks Sean for the đȘđŸđȘđŸđȘđŸ
đ„đ„đ„đ„đ„
Thanks!
Hey man, thanks so much for the show of support!
These drop 2s also are a great to practice with Pariss Bowens âAvengenceâ RIP to Pariss đ
Great teaching man Iâm at a meme bet on your site can you do a tutorial on everything with a twist by Jonas Jones itâs killing man please
This is an amazing lesson. I saw it three times already. Can you make another video maybe gettin a little more into the application ? on another song, maybe.
I mean, my main doubt is about whayt do you do when you have a note on the melody that doesn't really fit the chord beneath it ?
Maybe you could do Yesterday from The Beatles on the original F major ? jajaj sorry for so many questions
We can look into that for you.. yesterday is a great song
@@SeanWilsonPiano That would be awesome ! I get all the theory but I just have trouble applying it
I donât even play keys like that but I love watching your videos đ
He's the G.O.A.T we know
But you play another instrument though
Nice
When I started learning these I was using two fingers in each hand like yourself but Iâve seen so many do 3 fingers in the right hand and only 1 in the left. Is there an advantage to either method or would I be good learning both
Sick video! Can anyone explain what's happening in the intro around 0:26? I see that he goes from Db diminished and eventually lands on D major, but what are all the chords in between?
Great! Thank you! I have a question. 03:51 f# - b - d - g drop 2. What about this configuration: f# - d - b - g (widest position)? Is this drop 2 chord too?
Please can you send me video of gospel song played with drop 2 voicing. I have learnt drop 2 voicing but I don't know how to use it
I never realized how simple it is to form drop 2 voicing
J'ai adoré cela alors comme question, comment es-ce que je peux étudier avec vous ???
Please do a tetorial and demonstrate how to apply these chords in real time, in few songs please.
Interesting enough the Iâve heard these exact chords arranged into a form of background filler music to a couple movies. One that I can think of off top is Fifty shades of grey and also a Tyler Perry movie
Iâm a long time pro. Never really played gospel though I love it
Left hand bass is my strength
Drop 2 , I first heard of in the big band context . I like your suggestion to switch from left hand bass and go with drop 2.
Are you aware of Barry Harris ?
His diminished 6th is really nice
yup. Barry Harris is great!
Good
Mr sean. Please how do you control the sustain pedal when playing quick drop 2 movements ? For clarity
You do it rapidly. Develop that foot game. The ears help a lot.
Hey Sean!!!!!
yessir doc
Now that Iâm going through it, itâs changing my outlook and all I can see drop 2 chords as are inversions with the âperceivedâ 3rd raised an octave.
If you practice your inversions then drop 2 should be easy coming from inversions. just take the 2nd interval out and raise it an octave.
Idk if you ended up saying that in the video, I started the drill as soon as you broke it down
đŻđđœđ„đ„đ„đ„
There is not much out on you tube about purchasing and setting up the software and interface issues fo the type of studio rig that you are using for midi piano files in your demonstrations. Which lends to the thought that there is an interest to musicians like myself that is indeed searching [ mostly] older folks, nevertheless less there is a desire to folks longing to setup a risk like yours. Please help!
Have you made a drop 2 video yet for Dom Chords?
I wonât be making one gif dominant chords. But in practice them the same way as you see in this vid
Can you recommend someone that does a good teaching on the number system?
Anyone figured out the two hand fingering for the exercise?
Hey guys what yall prefer 1 note in the LH and 3notes In the RH or 2/2 split đ€ I started with the former but I guess it's down to preference but question to Sean? Wud the 2/2 approach have any benefits in ur opinion
The benefit of using the 2/2 approach is that it teaches the left hand to use perfect fourths, tritones, and perfect fifths. It's actually pretty cool once you get the pattern. *Also, playing 1 note in the left-hand is a crutch that musicians need to break away from, in my opinion
@@SeanWilsonPiano Ahhh Aight I get you, thanks Sean, continue the great work
