𝄞 You can think of a standard chord progression like the plot of a movie; beginning - middle - end. By using just two chords to build a whole song, you can create a musical cinematic shot of your main character. That main character is the essential element. Let's take a look at how artists like Alpha Mist, Knxwledge, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Robert Glasper, Yussef Dayes, Berlioz, Kaytranada, Kiefer, Flying Lotus, Thundercat, Omari Jazz, DOMi & JD Beck establish a vibe and stay there, while creating complex yet subtle harmonic movement to maintain interest in the essential element: the melody. 𝄢

RIP Ryuichi Sakamoto, truely an inspirational composer and human being.

[Tduzz]

Had to pause in the middle of the video to say: Your editing, your teaching, your musical talent, your voice, almost everything seems perfect to me. I went into this with bad vibes and already feel much better. Lately producing felt stagnant to me, but you give so much dimension to chords, it is unreal. I feel like i need to get more complex, but the fun in creating gets lost. Thanks for reminding me on how to get things going again. Wishing you the best on your journey.

[hpuredatalover]

the video quality just SKYROCKETED with this one! I am AMAZED.

[subedei.yesyes]

going from an f chord to a b flat chord is literally my favorite chord progression haha

[hazelvision]

God this must've taken SO long to produce, your effort is noted and appreciated Jaron <3

[stuartpaterson]

Thank you for your explanation of music, Jaron. Finally I understand something of music!

[retrro]

Had to comment cos after all these years, i FINALLY get how chords work, no more flukes. Thank YOU!

[ctlfishdangerzone]

Your videos are consistently among the best producer and theory videos, and this one is my favorite so far. Amazing work. Thank you!

[jasonhackett]

I love this song and have been bumping it on my “lofi beats to help you pretend to work” playlist since it came out. You are one of the few YouTube tutorial creators whose music stands on its own, keep up the great work all around.

[sunlitlily]

i love these chords that vibe videos lol. i switched majors when none of my peers in my music course seemed interested in the artists like yussef dayes and alfa mist and am very happy when i see internet videos mentioning these composers and the harmonies they write. thank you :)

[RomanWaves]

Absolutely amazing. You condensed knowledge and wisdom I learned the hard way over 10 years of producing and practicing the piano. Vertical and horizontal, improvised and composed. Balance and imbalance. Listening and connecting to the sound. Less is telling more. Thanks for this amazing reminder and production, really inspiring

[evergrxn]

You make it feel like a friend is patiently explaining this to me, and that totally got rid of the anxiety I normally feel around theory.

[whiskerprince]

the birds chirping in the back made this extra beautiful

[sickenideon]

You made my day a thousand trillions better. A couple years ago when composing randomly without focus (when you just play things for hours till something sounds good out of nowhere, which is the most unproductive way to achieve your goal) i just did that exactly cadence relationship you teach without knowing. But that made me aware of that cadence and I start noticing it in a lot of songs, even ones released after that. But now I understand what happened cause you dissected everything in a way that even my dumdum brainy got the full image. And is pleasant like school days when I understand some mathematics. Barely happened, but still

[jazzsong]

Your videos are fire. The way you teach theory and integrate it with different styles is amazing. I learn a lot with each of your tutorials and, above all, a different perspective to make my own compositions 🙏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻

[VaChiee]

this i s next level of music theory explanation, I'd wager he's better explaining this than any professor I could pay

[zerois]

alfa mist, Knxwledge, sakamoto all have banger music

[currentlyrebranding]

wow bro you spitting, great video. Love how i know what you’re saying but never knew some phrases, great stuff.

[KevinTPLim]

How to distill the essence of a jam into a song is incredibly valuable for my style and the stage I’m at in my music journey, so thank you!

Also appreciate the production value and your taste in music and voicings — I love Alfa Mist, Ryuichi Sakamoto, and Robert Glasper (also Nujabes, Emancipator, Bonobo, Phaeleh ...)

[McCuban]

Great video, and I love the typo at 12.47 – i'm almost hoping that it is intentional!
