The secret unicorn was the Bb7(b9) going to Eb. Dick Grove used to call that the diminish/ major Shape from the diminished scale. Thank you Adam for this video and PDF!

Great stuff! The original 1st chord (as written) of Stella By Starlight is the Tonic Diminished.

Btw The Last Unicorn is one of the most beautiful movies i've seen in my childhood. I will always remember the fear and wonder I felt watching that magical world of images and sounds as a young boy. Astounding.

@aleksandarstojceski3139 Год назад

One of the darkest children movie.Animated in Japan.

The mythical unicorn is at 11:07, starting at the b7, resulting in a dominant b9 13 chord. Where are my 10 internet points at? :)

@bryanbinnema1902 Год назад

Not only that, but because that shape is based on diminished harmony, it can be moved by minor thirds and still work on the same dominant chord. So on a Bb7, you can start that shape on B natural and get a b9 chord, start on D and you get a #9, start on F and you get a b9#11 chord. It sounds cool to cycle through them as well

@internetfunnymanrob Год назад

You can also use this shape as sort of a slash chord if you imagine it like a half diminished iv over the V (ie; Fdim7/G)

@bobbachelor5930 Год назад

Adam, i love how you're using standards to demonstrate harmonic shapes.

@tatianakomissarova1404 Год назад

I mean... It's just gorgeous...;-) Thank you Open Studio for such a beautiful music and so effective ideas!

Many thanks for the free PDF God Bless you forever

@JohnHorneGuitar Год назад

Thanks for this. Great information Adam! I’ve definitely played this sound before, but never codified it in quite this way. Very helpful and I’m sure I will be over using this chord in the days ahead

@ratrindade3617 Год назад

so simple and it sounds so rich

@Muravchix Год назад

Excellent as always

@ADream54321 Год назад

i was JUST playing around with these on guitar, and LO! you make a video about it. SPOOKY!

@landolin_music Год назад

One thing I stole with the omaj7 shape is moving it in minor 3rds. Wynton Kelly does some of that in the intro to "Someday My Prince Will Come" by Miles

@scheck006 4 дня назад

Chick does that ALL over the place on light as a feather, too.

@detodounpoco37 Год назад

Spinetta-Kamikaze opens with that chord 🤩

@88KeysMan Год назад

“Enharmonic gangsters” That made me laugh out loud. 😂

@simonbencik2270 Год назад

Haha, that's truly a good one 😁

@vsezonov Год назад

Same here 😆

@Bashanvibe Год назад

Nice I use that chord on regular!!! Especially in Misty!!!

@MarcoZarco Год назад

🦄Great stuff! 🦄

I LOVE YOU ADAM MANESS

@martinlehfeldt5514 Год назад

Thanks!

@simonbencik2270 Год назад

I truly love Unicorns, you know. So this will probably be my favourite Chord of all time

@maloneycraig Год назад

Herbie mentions this in the Jacob Collier wired interview. A maj triad resolving to Bb instead of F7 resolving to Bb. They were commenting on how Amaj doesn’t share any notes with F7 but they can both function in exactly the same way. Herbie: “People used to do this all the time in the 30s”.

@els1f Год назад

Not unicord?🤔😋

@eydiguttason1961 Год назад

Thanks Adam here from Aalborg danmark

@housethegrate6093 Год назад

Have you done a video on the other unicorn chord, FABE? My old teacher at Portland State taught this and it would be cool to have a refresher. Major 3rd, whole step, perfect 4th.

@fiscaldisco5234 Год назад

"Enharmonic Gangsters" is a good name for a jazz band

@arimalzbeil844 Год назад

great tutorial as always Adam. Could you play "blue unicorn" by Silvio Rodrigues with unicorn chords please ?

@doce7606 9 месяцев назад

that tonic diminished used to ruin my day as a guitarist.... cool lesson. i can also see how the four related altered dominants all share the same diminished structures... hip

@patodiblasi 10 месяцев назад

This same shape works beautifuly over a C bass, as a dominant C: C Bb Db E A

@ericwinter4513 Год назад

I’m not sure whose version it is, but I’m pretty sure the recording of Stormy Weather that they play on Marketplace on NPR whenever the stock market was down for the day uses this chord as the pickup.

@mr7clay Год назад

It's the top of C13b9 and F#7#9!

@cecilkeebler4254 Год назад

@Open Studio Missed opportunity for video title....unichord :)

@mawesters Год назад

Besides the one at 11:08 I got two more at 0:40 and 0:49. Both as a I-dim 9 chord at the end of the cadence... :)

@jazzgreens Год назад

Adam, your term “enharmonic gangster” immediately filled me with the confidence that it ain’t no thing, chicken wing when you are fully immersed in wtf is going on in the music 😮

@xaverk Год назад

How about the interpretation of the "unicorn" as C 7/b9/b11/13? Tonic then for example F 6/9. Quite natural also.

@strings41 Год назад

Have you ever done a vid on 2-note left hand chords ala Bud Powell?

@chuangtsu Год назад

So if the diminished seventh has a double flat seventh degree, and a half diminshed chord has just a regular flat seventh degree, would that make this a quarter diminished chord?

@GizzyDillespee Год назад

Thanks, even though this is probably basic for many people, I didn't know how this passing sound was done... I can hear the "diminished" aspect easily, but I always had a hard time hearing the major 7th, apparently🤪.

@GizzyDillespee Год назад

Of course I've gotten there accidentally by playing that major triad a half-step below, with a lazy bass hand that didn't move down with it... but I didn't connect the dots conceptually while I was doing that... so it wasn't intentionally repeatable in other circumstances (specifically the b3 on the way down, and b5 on the way up, that you showed). Without that conceptual framework, I didn't think to notice what that shape was, and apply it in those other cases. Even though I'd heard people doing exactly that, all my life. Just goes to show.

@88KeysMan Год назад

Secret use @ 11:08, correct? You used it as a 1 dominant sub.
