I Wish I Knew These Chords 10 Years Ago! 

At 68, after playing piano and keyboards all my life, FINALLY I've found a place to learn this stuff. Thanks!

it's really amazing to have access to videos like this. thank you so much for these.

A cross between Mario and Luigi.

That ending is off the charts unique and so cool.

Thanks for another fantastic Lesson Sir Adam!

The stache looks phenom!

I learned so much from this ...and yeah, still only 15 mins in But, because I've been practicing scales and arpeggios almost daily, this was so much easier to pick up and start to learn Before when watching stuff like this I had no chance So playing often and regularly is better than doing nothing This is my humble experience

Thanks Adam and open studio for making our music experience so wonderful

Just FYI, the first Drop 3 voicing in bar 1 of your PDF (page 2) is wrong: the bass-clef half note should be a C3, not a Bb2. (The natural 11 *is* an available tension on an Fm9, but it doesn't work in a register that low.)

Thanks for the pdf.

Great to be here.. Ernest from Accra Ghana

Looove this bro

Hi from Puerto Rico

Good stuff , but could you get the " active keyboard " showing us more clearly whats happening with your fingers , thanks

Personally I feel locked hands is by far the coolest, just my taste though…love that OG sound lol

Muito bom e obrigado pelo conteúdo

That first diatonic exercise is straight from the Hanon book!

I'm not a lyricist, but I came up with lyrics for this melody because you played it so many times. I see beauty in your eyes or Stevie Wonder in your mind. Let me know what ya think.

The contrary motion is communicated by Thomas Echols as “the escalator”.

@10:00: I tend to think of this melody as being in Eb major. Then the whole melody is diatonic and we have a ii-V7-VI deceptive cadence. Change the final note to Eb under a Eb(maj7) chord and you'll hear that this makes sense.

Thanks: )

This was a great session, but I have to admit still being confused by drop-2 and 3 when it comes to starting with a non-root-position chord. It all seems simple when you turn CEGB into GCEB, but I get a bit lost when we took an Fm7 chord and ended up with a B flat in the bass! I find it weird that changing the voicing of the close-position chord changes the resulting bass note. Guess I'm overestimating the importance of the bass note and undervaluing the value of putting a 10th into the chord.

Locked hands also reminds me of George Shearing....

Could you explain the theory behind the reason those chord structures are called, ‘drop 3 or drop 2’?

i did not understand the 6th / diminshed additions. using diatonic chords or diatonic intervals to harmonize a melody makes sense, but when do you use the diminished versions? i do not quite understand the connection. as it was not explained, i assume its very basic, sorry i do not get it.

How much time a day does this have to be practice?

I hear "Where do we go from here" by Incognito!

Adam, I apologize for not remembering this from past videos where you mentioned it, but what’s the drum/metronome program you’re using?

how did i go this long without ever hearing the word "dyads"?

0:15 It looks like the text on the right is somehow related to the letters on the hat. Kinda messes with what's inside my hat
