Absolutely insane that 6 months ago I was a guitarist with no grasp of music theory who would only play basic major and minor chords without any understanding of keys... and through nothing more than binging OpenStudio shorts I can now see the Matrix through modal interchange backdoor progressions, tritone subs, Phrygian dominants and sus7s, diminished movements, moo chords and other beautiful voicings on the piano I have now become versatile in on top of guitar.
@ravenumali4545 perhaps the technical skills might need some work to be done, but if you know about scales and chord structure, piano is the best instrument to work and experiment with😂❤ (ps. i can only play piano bcoz of those knowledge, when it comes to actual playing i still suck)
@@kultonjackson4435 Last October, OS had a multi-day event for OS Pro members in conjunction with the Peter Martin & Generation S album release (they recorded it live; Adam Maness produced it; check out some of the vids on YT and buy the album! ua-cam.com/video/bpVAjguwVCU/v-deo.html). I was fortunate enough to go, got to see meet all the OS folks, get a behind-the-scenes tour of OS HQ, and see Peter & Gen S live at Jazz St. Louis. It's a fantastic organization and was a wonderful experience. I'd do it in a heartbeat if it's offered again.
That's one of my favorite... I've found dozens of ways to get to E flat major, only using 2 or 3 additional major triads. Then when you include minor and diminished/7th chords, we're into the hundreds of possible routes, just to get from any one chord to an in-between chord and then to E flat. My only rule is it has to sound good, sound cadential, like there's a natural gravity that the progression follows, in some musical context.
So, for example: using only 1 major passing chord between them, you'd find all of the good sounding ways to go from B flat major to E flat major. Then, you'd find all of the ways to go from B major to E flat major. Then, you'd find all of the ways to go from C major to E flat major. All 11 other keys. Then you could use 2 passing chords, or include minor and diminished and 7th and augmented chords as passing chords. Then you could include those other chord qualities as your starting chord. Even with those constraints, there are so many possibilities.
The thing with Music is, there is always a wide range of methods to get from one destination to another. You thinking up one that he didn’t use is fantastic, it shows that you probably understand the concept better than most of us who watch these videos.
Y’all are really excellent teachers. Y’all effectively use so much major educational philosophy in your videos that I wonder if you’re doing it on purpose. It’s the reason why these concepts, which most would initially think are very advanced, are able to be understood by so many people who know nothing about music theory. I especially appreciate the way y’all break it all down into bite-size, 60 second hook-like bits. I aspire.
@@deerveinthey call it the „Open Studio Mu (Moo)“-chord, which is a bit different from the mu chord used by Steely Dan, who apparently gave it a very specific voicing / structure.
@@deervein Ah, whoops! It even says that in captions. Well, now it's clear I just watch their shorts, hehe... Do you know specifically what a "mu" is for them?
Would love to just hear music like this with super subtle, intricate, emotional chord changes on a constant basis. Have you guys any recordings like this that is all just beautiful and deep chill?
Everytime I hear "take that through all 12 keys and you're good to go." I wonder if that half joke and half serious 😂 but these guys are so good, they're obviously not joking
Check out David Bennett's video [the "Eight Days a Week" chord progression]. In the same way that backdoor progressions are classic moves in Major-Minor modal interchange, I-II-IV is a classic move in Major-Lydian interchange. And the inversion in the bass provides a very pleasing walk down. As for E7, I'm still trying to figure out why III7->IV works so well myself! 😅
These guys teach more in 1 minute than most in their whole careers.
All while just casually shreddding
@@bapbap22 All the instructors at OS are pros. And the most down-to-earth folks, supportive and genuinely interested in sharing their knowledge.
Amazing what you can learn in 60 seconds!!🎹
@@bapbap22that casual shred really makes it.

wow do u know how to play piano

It's so true. The teachings here are so easy to pickup if you an intermediate with other instruments.
Openstudio just caught my algorithm. I'm just starting my journey.
Glad to know it got you to where I want to be.
@@Feverdream7777you are in for a treat, my friend.
Bass and drums are smoooooth
You guys are actually the best
Having seen one of these shorts filmed live, FIY they're done in one take. That's how great these guys are.
What??? how can we pull up and see them live?

The modal interchange sounds amazing!
Sounds very Tori Amos-esque.
Agreed: my fav
Absolutely. Reminds me of Vince Guaraldi
Man, your back is already “in key of C”😂 I’ll go do my stretches 😂

@@GizzyDillespeeWhoa, this sounds like a great exercise! I'm a coward so I'll be using a C major tonic instead...!
Who else has no idea what he's talking about but still here for every one of these?
They're just so pleasant to watch and listen to
It's insane the amount of info these shorts pack, they make me want to play
I like that modal interchange! 😀
I NEED this on repeat!!! The Diatonic walk up/down just gives me the warmest feeling inside. I miss music theory😢
great as always, totally threw me a curveball, thought for sure Gm7 to C7(C7alt F#7 etc) wouldve been one of your choices. Thank you for all you do1

The OpenStudioJazz short "How to IV for Gospel Piano" also has some more great ideas!
Bass in these is always good
Really dig these trio vids. As a long-time OS Pro member, I can't recommend them enough.

My new favorite which says a lot considering how good all of these shorts are. Great lesson and it sounds so good.
The “A move from above-what??” got me 😂
Also the walk down is so simple yet always so damn pretty
He actually said a “mu” from above. A moo is a type of chord that I believe they sort of coined at Open Studio Jazz.
@@deerveinthey call it the „Open Studio Mu (Moo)“-chord, which is a bit different from the mu chord used by Steely Dan, who apparently gave it a very specific voicing / structure.

Moo Dsus2/F#
Would love to just hear music like this with super subtle, intricate, emotional chord changes on a constant basis. Have you guys any recordings like this that is all just beautiful and deep chill?
Those were just Lovely 💚💚🌍
I can’t stop watching this!
I do that II(D) to IV(F) thing way too much. I never thought of playing it as a Mu chord. The bIII(Eb) to IV(F) was simple yet beautiful.
Beautiful stuff. Would love to just hear an extended jam session.
It's wild how good I-III-IV in minor can sound so cool after setting up major for a while
Love these videos you put out. So informative
Short n sweet yet powerful video🎉
Hands down the best harmony videos that I’ve ever seen. So appreciative of the knowledge shared and the high quality of each and every video.
Absolutely outstanding
Diatonic walk down has produced one of my favorite songs ever!
What a beautiful chord progression.
Everytime I hear "take that through all 12 keys and you're good to go." I wonder if that half joke and half serious 😂 but these guys are so good, they're obviously not joking
You guys are fantastic.
You guys are the best.
Beautiful!!
Again, I'd like to say this and this channel is fantastic.
These videos are brilliant. Loaded with info, no faffing about.
This is SO GENIUS Adam, it’s amazing how well you teach theory/composition
This channel is just amazing...
I’d love the voicing of these sweet chords!
Can you start publishing a few hour-long videos of just you guys jamming? I could listen to you play all day!
Love these videos!
Outstanding stuff. Huge thanks.
How demonstration really important more than just theory
So pretty!
pretty nice, loved it.
love it
This info is so useful
Please include the circle of fifths! That was awesome on the other short.
If I ever reached openstudiojazz levels of playing I could die happy
Love these
Cool cats! I wish there was an album of this stuff...
....so smoothly cool 🎶😌👌🏽..too bad i only play the guitar..😕
why does Adam look like a cute baby here
I like your funny words music man
Badly need it! Which course will help me learn all of this? 😊
Genius!!!!
A summary of a few ways to get to the IV. Thank you.
Diatonic walks are always so hopeful ❤
Gold
Just purchased a year membership with the HUGE summer savings! Where do I find more like this to practice?:)
The Harmony Games!
Reminds me of Brad mehldau Alice in chains cover.. great!
This is the coolest short form content on the internet.
son lo mas grande que hay, la data es clarisima. gracias♥
That last one is so hip 😵
I love the music played in these shorts - can anyone link me to artists / records like this? Thanks
Can someone pls explain how the E7 and D7/F# resolve to F? All the others make sense but I don’t get how these 2 work
I believe the F# would be a tritone sub or Neapolitan (bII) chord.
Check out David Bennett's video [the "Eight Days a Week" chord progression]. In the same way that backdoor progressions are classic moves in Major-Minor modal interchange, I-II-IV is a classic move in Major-Lydian interchange. And the inversion in the bass provides a very pleasing walk down.
As for E7, I'm still trying to figure out why III7->IV works so well myself! 😅
what genre of jazz are you playing in your videos? I love it so much but i can't find anything like what you play on the internet.
Great 😊
I dont know what you're talking about but it sounds so sweet and beautiful .
Hey! When he says a mu from above, what does the D/F# signify? I’d appreciate it a lot! Thank you 😊
wheres the website and sales link on desktop?
So many sweet ways to get from c to f....how is this even possible?
❤
I want to play like you. Problem is I have 0 music knowledge. Can I learn piano from scratch at Open Studio?
Sheet would be very very nice.
Often these shorts have the transcription. The vast majority the OS courses include one; their transcriber Max Gamiz is astounding.
Can we get a transcription?
It has been a joy following this channel while going to music school and slowly learning to speak his language.
Good to see Adam gaining some weight. I was actually worried about him for awhile. Seriously.
How does E7 sound good going to F? If viewed as a secondary dominant, wouldn't it need to go to A?
C-Eb7-F what are the the fundaments of this? Is it a secondary dominant or a tritone substitution? What is?
Check out the UA-cam shorts "More Modal Interchange", "Minor-Major-Mix", and "Phrygian Cush Chords" from this guy.
Peace
À huge summer sale, but what about the huge summer scale? 🤔
Ice video. Save in playlist. To practice.
I like tor style to play the keys
Can anyone recommend any musicians? This is my ultimate genre
Going from C to F, Imagine that!
❤❤
not sure how to take the savings through all keys.
I like the moo
Can’t believe you didn’t hit C -> F#7b5 -> F !!!
the only man i call daddy.
Nice. Don't know the theory in E7 to F movement :-))
My take: The E7 is the dominant 7 of A, but instead of going to A as the root, A is the 3rd of F major. So it works!
i just think of it as a classic I - III - IV walk up. but, he’s doing some nice voice leading in there too and idk exactly how
@@CWBella It is a chord substitution, F (F-A-C), A-C is the 1st and 3rd of Am, not A, A is not in the scale C or F
can someone here explain what's "mu from above"😂 i can understand the others approaches except that
also the C - E7 - F approach, is it all about tension and release? or is there a better explanation why it works well?
a moo from above lol
Give me that C - Dmu/F# - F all day
That E7 to F sent me, goodness gracious 🙌
Just practice.
