This video is the most concise explanation of material absolutely Essential to learn and practice everyday. It is the BEST Jazz video instruction I have ever seen. Maestro Mannes, You are an amazing musician and teacher. Thank you.
I'm trying to apply your 'pretty notes' method to guitar and the altered dominant concept opened my eyes to a new world of voice leading :) Keep up the great work
Its fascinating how different the I vi ii V sounds with the jazz colors added, as opposed to the plain triads as they appear in the backbone progression of soul and melodic rock n roll.
I am a bass player and I can't tell you how much I've learned from watching your instructional videos and being able to apply that knowledge to my particular instrument thank you again
One of the the things that helps us all is knowing all 12 scales. You possibly know them all. Using a pix of the piano all 12 major scales can be learned very quickly.
Great lesson. I actually like the pace of the lesson. IRL lessons come at you fast and furious and it’s good to learn how observe and digest information quickly. Plus you can always rewind and rewatch the video
This is hitting so hard right now as I’m working on the blues (guitar). Reinforcing the way of thinking melodically, for me. Thank you so much - appreciate and enjoy all your videos!
I am recommending your lessons to many of my classical musicians students. As you well know, the understanding of the grammar (harmony) and the vocabulary (scales and modes) of jazz is very important in order to learn improvisation. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge.
My classical piano brain is like ".........mmhmm.......mmhmm.........oh, dominant 7, I know that!" Seriously, so much to learn. Trying to have a beginner's mind but it's like trying to learn how to speak Mandarin when all you know is English.
I'm really enjoying this video so far. You really get to the meat of what there is to learn in your demonstrations. I can't wait to try them out! Thank you!
I transcribed Peter Martin's solo , and as impressive as it is at his speed, slowed down it's not as complicated as it sounds. Its just the bebop vocabulary that Peter and Adam (and so many others) teach in their videos-- scales, arpeggios, enclosures, approaches, and sequences. This takes nothing away from Martin's stunning performance!
Root shell pretty - I'm not coming from a jazz background, but just this one tip helped a lot! I'll be back to this video to digest more later. Thank you!!!
This is great. Mr. Martin please slow down. .....This tutorials are target to advance students and profesional piano players. Please take advantage of your tremendous technical skills and teach the art of phrasing. Again I have a giant respect for your musicianship. Respectfully. JG.
This is exactly the type of content I've been looking for! I will say though there is no way I can play G F and B in one hand like you did at 8:30. Your hands are absurd.
First..great break down. A practice I use is to read both F clef and G clef in order. Ignoring the Bb6. All kinds of clues in that ..the Bb7 has a b7 and a semitone or half tone down is G. Bb6 (Bb D G) has no b7 in it. That would make it a Bb13..A little muddy. better in the upper extensions. Just my thoughts.
Thank you so much for thinking of this you are amazing. And incidentally I think you do a lot better from my perspective with you alone in the studio. Because you do less talkin and teach more thoroughly. . Thus, it's more like a competition between two musicians and it just doesn't quite get it for me.. So I will stick with you and you alone.lol 4 u are 1 of my favorite 😺
Thanks for truly great lessons, I've learned tons of stuff, mainly on the topic of chord substitutions/soloing/diminished scale on dominant chords. However, I'm really curious to hear your take on ideas around soloing concepts for minor or major 7th chords. For instance, how do we stay interesting over 4-8 bars of a minor 7th chord? Anyway, best jazz channel around! Thanks a million for sharing your knowledge!
You guys are doing wonderfully well. You inspire me alot. I really love the video on how to crush solos. It addresses alot of my challenges. I like to crush solos like Peter M. If you can give tips on how to unlock the fingers and keep it *crushing*, it will be nice. I love guys from Nigeria.
This along with your and P Martin's vid on altered scales is doin me well. Sorry but I get Peter's half whole then whole tone description more easily than the harmonic minor above the root of the 5th
Can you explain how you pick the extra notes for the dim7 chords? If it’s for the Tritone (sharp 4) you start with a whole step but if it’s for the dominant you start with the half step? Is there a difference between diminished scale and half-whole scale? Thanks for the lesson! Super informative ❤
Man I really wish you guys would use an app like Chordie so it displays onscreen the notes you're playing. For someone new to jazz, I'd love to follow along but it's difficult to see all the notes you're playing.
Fantastic video… had to make some adjustments since I don’t have King Kong size hands (root and third in the next octave with one hand?!?!?), but absolutely amazing information!!!
what kind of voicings are from 2:39? It is G7(#5#9)? ...Cm69..? And about dominant seven?? Eb Ab Db Gb over F?? Where is "shell"? There is not major third? I see any Fm7(#5b9) Is it realy or mistake?
just noticed the Bb6 is a Bb6add 9. Is that correct? Bb7 with an Ab and a G would be a dominant 13. Bb13. I could Google it, but you may have a fresh angle on it. No hurry.
Dan, Rachel, or Alexis, when you bump into Adam and Peter, please let them know that they did an outstanding job. Adam did an excellent job of covering the changes and Peter was smokin’ as usual. Thanks
Hi Adam, you know how the I if it's dominant, becomes the V of the IV, like C7 is the V of FMaj7, so os the I I7 IV sort of looking for that sound where you go from say CMaj7 as being your tonal center, to going C7 such that you make F your tonal center after?
hey Samuel, at 10:20 Adam gives the hint for smaller hands - which I would suggest to do with ALL of the chords in this progression: use the exact same voicings while playing the upper THREE voices with your right hand. best, andy
I've yet to find a good tutorial on how to make any chord progression sound like Bruce Hornsby is on the piano, I've seen some sheet music tutorials but nothing decent that goes over a bunch of basic chord progressions then moving up in complexity

Hi Adam The chord progression in the first 8 bars of “out of nowhere” as written in real books sounds wrong to me. How do you play it? That first 8 is an unusual progression. Is it derivative of a more common progression?
Why is Noah Kellmann using money on youtube advertisements? Doesn't the algorithms already ensure that if you're watching a video where a Noah Kellmann ad would come up, you are probably going to get it recommended anyway? Just an advice, Noah! Already a subscriber ;)
Great video, thank you. How do you think of the Am broken chord over the D7 or the Ebm9 over the Ab? Is it just hearing/knowing the extensions or is there a pattern or a tip for this?
The b9 is in reference to the chord quality (not the B natural note): F7b9. That 4 note phrase over the F7b9 chord is taken from the b9 scale (half-whole) BUT none of the notes in that phrase are actually the b9 (which, in this case would be Gb). I think you're confused because you're under the impression he was calling the B natural a b9. He's not, the b9 is only in reference to the chord quality.
1. I > VI (or vi) > ii > V7
2. I > V7/4 > IV > iv > I
3. IV > b5 dim7 > I
4. III (or iii) > VI (or vi) > II (or ii) > V7
On the last one, the iii and I chord are functionally interchangeable. I’m just listing these for folks who already know theory. However, by all means watch this vid even if you know these things. It’s great instruction.
Thanks😁

This video is the most concise explanation of material absolutely
Essential to learn and practice everyday. It is the BEST Jazz video
instruction I have ever seen.
Maestro Mannes, You are an amazing musician and teacher.
Thank you.
Over 26 min of pure concentrated knowledge, wow, appreciated, will be studying hard.
👍 Has taken me a several hours just to grasp the basic voicing 1-6-2-5.
I like that you quoted Ceora for the altered line. That song is a masterclass in altered licks
I'm trying to apply your 'pretty notes' method to guitar and the altered dominant concept opened my eyes to a new world of voice leading :) Keep up the great work
Its fascinating how different the I vi ii V sounds with the jazz colors added, as opposed to the plain triads as they appear in the backbone progression of soul and melodic rock n roll.
As someone new to jazz, this is one of the most helpful and easily digestible lessons I’ve come across. Thank you so much!!!!

@25:31 Peter played something outside... a reharm for the II-7 V7. What was that?
No py
1:06 really reminds me of Bud Powell's intro to Serenade To A Square with Dexter Gordon.
Thanx, Paul. I'm a big Dex fan. I'll search it out. Was that a Dex or Bud session? Album? 🤔😎
Brenda Boykin Yeah, that album where they also play Long Tall Dexter.
You are a great teacher , thank you for really teaching the materials that can help musicians sound good .
Such clarity in jazz instruction. Wonderful!!
Adam! You're a gentleman and a scholar. Thanks for amazingly connected video! :)
One of the best jazz tutorials I have ever seen. Keep it up Open Studio, Adam and Peter!
This progression and scale practice has been a very good direction for me I'm glad I found you guys
I'm bigly new to jazz, and this was one which will be on my list when I've gotten more lamb into my chops.
Good stuff man... very helpful to me... thanks and keep up the great teachings.
Wow, you just gave us a new mini course! Thank you. Very nice.
Root shell pretty - I'm not coming from a jazz background, but just this one tip helped a lot! I'll be back to this video to digest more later. Thank you!!!

I agree Josè. But in settings you can slow it down to .75 or further which I have found to be a great help for many of the tutorials I watch.

Great stuff. You guys are great. And funny. Thanks.

@Agl Neo I prayed about it, you should too. He cares.

Could you get Bob DeBoo to present this same topic from a bassist point of view?
Cheers and Well Done!
May I request sir,,,May your typing spoken words be flash on the middle of the screen ,,so that ,we may see your finger movements ! Thanks sir !
For some reason I like to alter the B section of rhythm changes. I have been playing IV7, bVII7, bIII7, bVI7 TO V7. I THINK IT SOUNDS REALLY HIP
First example of the progression is: Bb6/9, Gm7(omit 5), Cm6/9, F7b9#9#5(omit 3), Bb6/9??? Please confirm
This is fabulous
Thanks a lot
Awesome!
super! thank you!!
Hey, great video. Can you make some video about voicings for people with small hands ? :D

I'm a bit confused at 6:00. Isn't that B natural a #11? , from F perspective? Why does he call it a b9 ? Thanks in advance
I think it's in the key of B flat.
It's a 1625 turnaround in key of B flat
,
The b9 is in reference to the chord quality (not the B natural note): F7b9.

@@lukemichelson4253 now this makes sense, partly. Why isn't he calling it a F7#11 then, so that the chord quality reflects the melody note?
@@mathijs because the altered scale is used over the 7(b9). there's other altered tones in there but aren't necessarily the "melody"
Adam is good. I like piano for explaining things.
İt,s great thank u so much...
great
Is the pdf still available?
Whats the difference between a flat 13 and sharp 5?
About the same as the difference between a sharp 11 and flat 5?
WHOO i have abig smile on my face thanks Peter othe lesson was ok .small joke cheers.
Great! But I can’t find the pdf
Thanks it’s there now
I thought the correct response was "someone grab the fire extinguisher!" 😂
There is a PDF?! Couldn't you say so in the beginning?!!
Why doesn't the A in bar 2 (F7b9) have a b9 or Ab?
A is the third in an F7 chord. The top note in this voicing is Gb. That is the b9.
Supreme content. Superior i am blown away and dripping with gratitude. Is there a patreon or something similar for support?
