Yooo I love this technique! I wish more musicians understood the power of playing “off” of the melody line, changing keys within the key! Great job! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I took a private lesson with Rob Araujo and he taught me this. It took me about 2 years to really implement it but this is what all the monster players are doing.

Jeff "its just stacked thirds" Schneider

Always plugging that m11 haha

Makes sense - the problem I've been having with reharm is trying to pick from the zillions of possible chords that could go with the melody note. This is methodical to narrow that down, then just play them and see what sounds good. Great stuff!

[DojoOfCool]

Interesting approach never did it that way before. I did the typical use melody and create a new bass line then create a new chord based on relationship of those notes. This using melody, deciding what chord tone it will be and create the new chord off that. I like the results you got plus good exercise in voice leading.

I’ve always liked the idea of “reverse engineering”, which is similar to this idea of approaching the melody/chord “equation” backwards. Reverse engineering can also work on finding out how songs are constructed in general.

Thanks for another wonderful tutorial, Jeff. You are definitely a blessed man 😎🇺🇲

This is amazing! Seriously the most illuminating "trick" (not to diminish it) I've come across in a long time. Thank you for the knowledge and inspiration, Jeff!

[JoGarciaMov]

Wow...I love that sound and very useful technique. Thanks sir!!

[pierretaylor]

That 3rd chord in your progression, told me the rest of your progression would be 🔥🎶! Row, Row Row Your Boat never sounded so good! Great content Jeff

extra chuckle here at 5:55
'is this gonna sound good? who knows! maybe not! so far it sounded pretty cool! :)'

lovely moves all over, reminds me of every Robert Glasper intro interlude noodle passage ever

[FarrinD]

I love this technique! It’s like a nice little puzzle with some really cool results!

[racheljones]

I was thinking of this today and ran across this video! I am definitely learning this!🤲

[GremorySparks]

you'll never know how precious this to me, , , , oh gawd

[mgd]

Was just looking at my Roland thinking of how this works, and pow, this video shows up. Thanks big time for making it!

[fambakker]

really simple ... great lesson .. so many many many thanks to you..

[William_sJazzLoft]

Fascinating! It would be interesting to try this technique on a hymn like, What A Friend ( We Have In Jesus ). Not that something similar hasn't already been done. Yet, this definitely brings a fresh approach to traditional popular songs.

[jaimetorres]

It's an amazing tip, Thank you Jeff!

[landonmatthew]

wow this is awesome! I'm gonna have a lot of fun with this... also that was an amazing pitch at the end. Very strategic I liked it. New sub!

[atlantaguitar]

Cool video. I must say that I was given this exercise many many years ago after I had asked my teacher how I might spice up bland chord progressions. If you work it through this approach will yield great results
