Great video guys! :)

These podcasts are golden! Super entertaining in addition to being very informative and concise, and such a unique format with two different cats on a similar musical wavelength with everything illustrated on the keyboard with visualization. Please don’t stop doing these!

"I don't think they allow be-bop in the army anymore." (!!!!!!!) That quote ALONE makes this a priceless video!!

There's enough meat in here for years of study. Thanks so much. Just hearing you guys play as you demo is good for your ears.

Tactical bebop is definitely my favorite sub genre

The intro was funny. I used to be a piano player in the Army 42R9N. Your content is worth more than gold to us!

"Its all legal, buddy!" LOL 9:42

You guys should do a battle like that previewing what you guys are going to talk about before every episode. It's a great anticipation to what you will teach us.

Absolutely love this series guys, this is the most amazing and informative music podcast setup I've ever seen. Can't thank you enough for your work, it's very helpful!

I've been checking your page everyday for this vid!!!

I love this podcast. I’m totally addicted to it. Thank you!

U guys are the answer to my prayers! I'm in awe! Thank you so much for this.

16:50 A true LOL. Peter and Adam are such a blast together. Thank you both for all of your dedication to the music and sharing your insights.

This is on the level. Love it. Great content

I can almost hear it and sus it out. I am saving this link for my practice sessions.

What a gem.You show how to think and speak Bebop fluently.Thank you both.

I first took piano lessons at age 7, and have never become as skilled as I feel I could, but you guys have inspired me to push toward that goal finally!

These channel is a blessing. Thanks youao much for this info and the visuals are so helpful

Hi, Peter and Adam- Just wanted to write and let you know how much I enjoy your podcasts/RU-vid videos. This was the first one I had ever watched of your You'll Hear It series, and have since then watched many, many more from the series and other series on RU-vid you both create. I appreciate your approach to teaching these concepts, and often try to put these techniques to use in my practicing. I also have and continue to recommend your videos to my students and other fellow musicians. I especially love seeing and hearing how much fun you both have in these videos. Witnessing your enjoyment is a testament to how much passion you both have for this music and for conveying it to your listeners/students. Please keep posting these videos! They are all fantastic and so engaging. Best regards, Ron

This lesson such a wealth of information in it.

i like this one a lot! thank you!

This was a great episode.

Thank you for this valuable content.

What a creative channel!!! Thanks guys!! Oh, you know, I've never really thought about the military / jazz connection!!

Thank you !

You guys are Awesome!!!!!

Love you guys. I came back for a 4th time to thoroughly dissect.

Love these videos guys. Thx!

I love seeing how much Peter just loves playing

Great episode! Thanks

Hugs and Thanks from Brazil!!

So much love for your work, i am truly oozing. So inspiring, so so grateful for you both. Bless x (you might get sick of my comments but im just trying to get the algorithm to pick up on these videos anyway i can)

Great stuff! I've copped all 4 opening examples since, mostly in just 2 groups of strings (I'm a guitar player), in about two fingerings. Still tons of stuff to absorb here.

daaaaaaaamn those are all killer lines right there all in one video? sick

This stuff is so cool .. thanks guys

Thank you guys. I love your musical approach to teaching. The saying of the day is, 'You have to ge able to play on grid before you can play off the grid'. Thank you both. M.Nash

You guys are too much! Fun stuff and good lessons.

Really good!

Great Bop tactics. Love that Doppio Enclosure principle.

What an incredible video. I've been practicing on my own and plateauing pretty hard lately. For some reason I keep coming back to Donna Lee because I feel like I'm nearly at the cusp of a breakthrough and I think you guys nailed it in this video. I totally get what you're saying about not sticking to the grid. I'm doing pretty well with some of the techniques. surround, chromatic, triplets, double diminished, but i think i need to get better at that part where I can float and grow that independence from the changes. I think that's the key piece of the pie I'm missing. I know I'm 2 years late to the party, but much appreciated.

This was a great video as an intermediate player I was looking to advance my bed-pop skills.

You guys are awesome! Love learning from you both! Question about Donnelly comments and extending the harmony, playing Ab F#. And

Gentlemen, you are correct - GREAT episode!

This is a great episode.

This is great

I F@#$%KING LOVED THIS!

Best jazz lesson ever!

Love this! So glad I found your videos. The best Jazz resource ever! Also love the fact that slowing the videos down to hear the phrases more clearly makes it sound like you're both on Quaaludes 😉

Man i watched this when it came out back in 2020, remember being mind blown, and been watching you guys ever since. This video kick started my journey with jazz piano and nowadays i can understand what they’re saying/playing unlike when i first watched this. Big thanks to y’all 👍

12:04 tune is Joy Spring for anyone wondering

I've played bass for decades and the logic is so different than what you guys are talking about. it's mind blowing for me. thank you.

these are fantastic conversations my guys, I'm gonna take my Otamatone playing to another level with these golden nuggets!

the bit about the strategy being just sounding good absolutely killed me

One of the best episode ! Deploy now :)

Your videos make me wanna go practice. Much inspiration you give! (read in Yoda voice)

Very cool. I want a kitchen table like that.

Nothing but love I love slowing the vids down. It’s like listening to Cheech and Chong teaching piano. Very entertaining Peace

Thanks Guys

Some really nice devices to launch in or out of here

Dudes. I slowed this down to half speed and it sounds like you're on some serious dopio. :D great video! Totally dopio!

Hey Peter and Adam! I'm going back and listening to older episodes that I couldn't really grasp the first time around. (I'm glad to say that listening to you guys has really helped my ears and musicality overall, since things that were over my head two years ago are now understandable. ) I'm primarily a vocalist, and use a lot of your advice to apply to my vocal improvisation. Right now I'm hyper-focused on "BeBop Scales" and your aforementioned "Jazz Arpeggios"! I am enamored with the "Nifty" lines you lay out here, (and yes, I think "Nifty" is the appropriate word, haha. ) The "Double Dopio," is DOPE! That, and the Double Diminished Melodic Throwdown are things I'd like to master one day. Well, all of them, really. I do wish they were broken down a little more slowly since I'm singing them instead of playing, but if I put them on repeat I think they will sink in eventually. I know this is as older episode, and I don't know if you read the old comments, but I wanted to say how much pleasure and purpose I'm getting out of both your podcasts and videos. You guys also crack me up; you keep everything positive and light-hearted, not taking yourselves too seriously, but yet you're very serious about presenting quality content. One of these days, I'll get up the cojones to do a Speak Pipe question, but until then, I remain a loyal fan. ---Wilson

I love the opening theme. PDF please!

Thanx, Gents.

thanks

I only hopped i had this possibilities for 40 years ago. Thanks

Quadro dope e o was very nice!

Brilliant lesson. What fingerings should I use to play the enclosures fast? Cheers

Love Your School Im One Of Your Students Thanks.

Lol! Love you guys!

Nifty!

Had to subscribe {guitarist} So Dopio, Just this week I was trying to remember appoggiatura

lovely! btw, you mention a funk tune where Stevie Wonder drops some beebop - any youtube links or song refs?

They should use amusing midi patches when they demo things, like square waves, vibraphones and #such.

First one! Love all of your videos!

Love peter north and that Steve Zissou, COdy? Little coderz. CODA

That is quite the nifty gifty

I love this channel so much. What do you guys think of Bill Charlap? I am getting really into him lately. He's fantastic.

This feels like History Hyenas on Bebop and I love it 👏🏿

Probably the best "educational" jazz video i've ever seen in youtube. Im gonna binge watch all of your stuff!!!

THIS CHANNEL IS THE LAW!

17:58 : I feel that it's more about tension...mother gives love and mother withholds love.

Ok, confirmed.....it was a good episode!

Devo imparare da voi siccome usate la parola "doppio". Adam Maness...thinking of joining this course. Been playing for years and at 69 it's time for me to crank up my impro game. I do best when a super teacher hears me, sees my weaknesses, gives me something to practice, and then I practice, improve, and get ready for more. Will that Open Studio course offer me this? Usually there is too much material since most lessons will take me a week or so to assimilate. Let me know. I'm ready to study and learn more. Bless up...e in bocca al lupo...yeah, grew up in Napoli, Italy...e cche' v'aggia a ddicere!!!

Yeah! More playing is much more better!!! Btw 16:50 is it really A flat major? Or F altered scale some kind?

Spaceman here. I'll own up to being one of the folks that talked about where to place chord tones rhythmically and strong beat weak beat. The more I listen, the more I see what Adam and Peter are saying about starting anywhere and not always lining up. But here's what that DOESN'T mean to someone still learning the bop language (such as me). That doesn't mean that you have the liberty to get lost and not know where the "1" of the measure is or the "3" or the "and's". Diz and Bird created a language that was incredibly rhythmic and rhythmically dependent. Each beat in a measure has a different sound, the "1" should sound different than the "and of 3". Here's where what Pete and Adam makes sense to me. The location in the measure or the phrase doesn't dictate the note choice. However, the location of the measure ("1st quarter" or "4th quarter, etc.) changes HOW those notes SOUND. Syncopation changes how a note sounds because the note operates in a time continuum. When you play chord tones on off beats, you get that stank face feel if you play em with enough moxie. Spacey enough for ya's? That's my take. Love ya both. Please listen to my You'll Heart It voice mail, I think ya'd get a kick outta it!

Nicholas Slonimsky thesaurus of scales and melodic patterns is a great book for this.

10:13 "Would you get kicked out of the army if you tried some of these techniques?" "Oh yea yea, I don't think they allow bebop in the army anymore" lol, these guys are killin me!

great episode , you guys are hillarious XD

Man , BEBOP ! ! The feel ! The swing !!

So fucking hip! Love it!

Huh. Impressive episode today. Obviously you guys are great, knowledgeable players and all that, and I tune in on your videos from time to time. And mostly my reaction is a matter of, okay, drop-2s and diminished scales, whatever, nice, but yeah, yeah, yeah -- obviously teachers have to talk about this stuff for the general student, but not wholly news. This today, though, was genuinely deep insights and thinking. Nice. As for the Stevie Wonder record with the bebop keyboard lick: if it's an oldie but goodie, SONGS IN THE KEY OF LIFE, the song you may be thinking of is 'I'll Be Loving You Always' (IIRC, it's been decades) and that's because Herbie Hancock is guesting on that one.

You are doing a great job, but please are they only 7 or there are more

Bird, Bebop, BBQ (and the Chiefs) “Kansas City here I come!” 🎶🎵

😍😍😍

Cool KDHX sticker on your laptop. Are you from St. Louis?

💜

Can anyone point me in the right direction to learn more about broken scales? The broken 5th and 3rd sounds were cool.

What piano/keyboards are you guys using?
