Eagles

In this video, we explore 10 of the most legendary and long chord progressions in music, spanning rock, jazz, classical and blues, with one unforgettable bonus progression at the end! Whether it's the soulful sophistication of Misty, the emotional storytelling in Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, or the classical beauty of Canon in D, each progression here reveals a world of harmony, movement and colour. We also cover Hotel California, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming, I Will Survive, Stormy Monday and Something. We break them down with functional harmony analysis, chord degrees and voice leading, and concepts like the circle of fifths, line clichés and modal interchange. There's so much going on in this set, I forgot to even include Queen! 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 - Performance: Ballad Jam (Medley Teaser) 01:07 - Let’s get prepared 01:28 - What Are Long Chord Progressions? 02:39 - Lesson Flow : Theoretical Analysis 03:49 - Hotel California (The Eagles) – B Minor 05:12 - Chord Degrees wrt B minor 08:28 - Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Pink Floyd) – G Minor 14:22 - Canon in D (Pachelbel) – D Major 15:16 - Chord Degrees with D minor 16:42 - Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming (Deep Purple) – D Minor 22:12 - I Will Survive (Gloria Gaynor) – A Minor 25:29 - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (Elton John) – F Major 29:28 - The Long Ballad Progression – G Major 31:19 - The Line Cliché – E Major 33:30 - Stormy Monday (T-Bone Walker) – G Minor 36:22 - Misty (Erroll Garner) – Eb Major 39:07 - Something (The Beatles) – C Major ============================= 📹 Our Video Courses (Everything for Life Bundle) ➡️ https://learn-music.nathanielschool.com/ 🎹 Piano Courses & Private Lessons ➡️ https://piano.nathanielschool.com ============================= ▶️ Related Lessons & Playlists 🎵 Music Theory lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/PianoTheory 🎹 All our lessons on Chord Inversions (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ygtrGwGFmfyvMyGWH52EC 👂 Ear Training lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/EarTraining ============================= 🎓 Learn Music with Nathaniel School of Music & Jason Zac ➡️ https://nathanielschool.com 📚 All our YouTube lessons (1000+) by skill level, topic & genre ➡️ https://learning-portal.nathanielschool.com ============================= 💰 Donate on PayPal ➡️ https://geni.us/DonatePayPal 📸 Instagram ➡️ https://instagram.com/jasonzac 📞 Call +91 98454 65411 · 💬 WhatsApp chat +91 77604 56847 📧 Customised & Private Classes ➡️ music@nathanielschool.com 🎧 Listen to Jason Zac Music ➡️ https://riffs.jasonzacmusic.com/ #FamousChordProgressions #ChordProgressions #PianoChords

Find song chords by ear from the bass line. In this 2017 lesson, Jason Zac uses EQ, a tuner and diatonic chord theory, then checks the result on piano using She Will Be Loved as the example. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music breaks down a popular song and shows how to find the chords yourself using the bass line, plus a few key EQ tips for hearing the low end clearly. Along the way you'll pick up diatonic chord theory and harmonisation so you can turn a bass line into the full progression.
