This progression is unbelievably overwhelming and beautiful. Like sometimes I can’t believe music exists 😭❤️

*sooo glad I stumbled upon this video: 3Gm, C/E, 3F, Am7, Bb = 2, 7, 1, 3, 4 in F major*

*this is the EXACT progression these contemporary gospel cats be playin as “talk” music aka “when the preacher asks you to play something”*

*I’m gonna get this progression under my fingers now and try it in different keys!*

Much love bro. From one teacher to another, this is NOT a 2, 7, 1, 3, 4 progression. Most of the chords are right but the second one is a 5 chord. That's why it sounds pure. When I play a chord, the bass tone doesn't determine what chord it is, the notes do. Here the notes are C, E, and G. That's a 5 chord in 1st inversion. In 2nd inversion G would be the root. You can play the same progression and go from the first chord straight into a C major chord in 2nd inversion to check what I'm saying. A 7 chord would be E, G, and B flat. Diatonic 7 chords or 7 chords only built from chord tones are diminished and not major.

Even though, this is a smaller channel the value that you offer is unmatched. I’ve watched a lot of piano tutorials and have a solid grasp of theory but there aren’t many resources on the platform to learn movements, unique chord progressions, and actually explain how chords are broken up in popular songs. My goal is to learn to improvise in any key and scale and your videos have helped me learn new concepts and ideas to incorporate. Thanks so much for creating this content, it deserves a lot more recognition.

Can't imagine how beautiful music in heaven is going to be 🥺😍

I've been playing piano for most of my life with only piano lessons from my aunt when I was 7, and a Class Piano I class in college (for an easy credit). I'm in my 50's now and never knew any of this stuff. Always wanted to know, but have always played by ear and just winged it. Lol. I have written and produced a few hit records and have 3 grammy nominations and a host of other awards, but never considered myself a great player. You are great! I want to learn this stuff now. Subbed!

Thank you much. This is really helpful. Little informations like these when accumulated and imbibed makes one a great pianist.

I usually tell my students that music is not difficult, but when you accumulate simple moves like this over a period of time, you automatically start sounding suffisticated.

Ive NEVER heard chords sound so glorious without being attached to a song. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[michaelkolawoleadekanye]

The beauty is in the simplistic manner you taught it

[samuelfaturoti]

the moment I heard this I thought of "All We Ask" by Donnie McClurkin. This is wonderful man thank you

[joe]

This reminds me of a great song that should have been recorded by Chicago around 1984. I can so hear Peter Cetera's voice over this progression. Very nice stuff!

[grtbigtreehugger]

Many thanks - very cool! Got a Bruce Hornsby vibe!

[victornikora]

Beautiful man, beats the mundane full chord any day 👍

[benjamincoffie]

sounds soo sweet and you made it soo simple to understand too.
Thank you

[pakmanmusik]

thanks man, I'm working on this tomorrow.

[markvirgo]

Yo my brother these chord changes are dope and just what I've always wanted to elevate to in my playing.
Thanks 🔥

[danielkyama]

This progression is so simple yet it's so incredible😊😊Thank you for this

[vohehuli]

I see it as: iim, V/Vii, I, IIIm7, IV.
Thinking about it this way opens up more for me. I’d probably reharmonize it as this:
iim7, V7b9(#5)/VII, Imaj7, III7b9, IVmaj7
I just love tensions 🤷🏽‍♂️
