Adam Maness goes deeper into some of his UA-cam Shorts to explain how you can put the theory of harmony into your practice routine.
0:00 Intro
1:55 3 Voicing Structures: Drop-2, Drop-2, & Mu Major
4:47 Diatonic 7ths
6:15 Secondary Dominants
14:55 Secondary 2-5's
21:33 Mu "4-5-1"
Adam, for me personally your shorts are some of the most useful ones that I've seen. Otherwise, I find shorts to be primarily a waste of time. I'm actually teaching my son the "hinging exercise" short. Okay fine, I learned it first ! 🙂
I 100% agree on this.
I’m a guitarist and composer and I just can’t tell you how much I appreciate your channel.
I feel that I’ve caught you (or you’ve caught me) in exactly the right time of my musical development. Your lessons have helped me exponentially in my understanding of music. I cannot thank you enough for the free content you make available to UA-cam and I cannot recommend strongly enough the instructions you offer on your website. Just, Thank You 🙏🏻. You have changed my life. You have helped me express myself in ways that I have been aspiring to for many years, but have until now been unable to achieve. Again, thank you 😊
I'm in a similar spot!
Same!
@@JamesRone Right? For me, these guys are showing me how a lot of musical concepts work - stuff that I recognize from years of listening, but never knew they were a "thing" until now.

The PDF I received is a Bob DeBoo Pulse Memory exercise, not Adam's Harmony exercise.
Same ☹️
I've nominated your warm-up exercise for a Grammy.
love this ...gets a little complicated but super smooth sounds and super useful
Adam, this was one of the best piano/harmony video lessons I’ve ever seen. You clearly explained and demonstrated the theory while providing the practical application of it *and* a cheat sheet that we can practice with later. Thanks too for taking the time to consolidate your recent ‘shorts’ into one more comprehensive video. You’re amazing! Thanks again.
Iv'e been following your tutorials on youTube for many years and it has been a great joy in my life. I'm 90 years old and your lessons fill my days with great pleasure. Would love to take your course, Hearing Great Harmony but my budget just can't swing that kind of expence. I'll have to be content with your great vidios.
I came from IG to see if you had a UA-cam channel in the hopes that you expanded on the shorts. It’s like you read my mind! Thank you!
These longer videos are so welcome! Sometimes I watch your shorts and have no idea what's happening because I don't understand all the jargon. This video helped A LOT in that regard. Thank you!
Its crazy, i have been trying to learn these concepts on guitar for years and make sense of them. And along comes adam and open studio and their method of presenting the info as a they demonstrate it in an unfolding hierarchy of complexity and thorough examination of application of the concepts has me making connections i wish other guitar tubers could. Not to bad mouth guitarist on youtube, but i feel like they dont demo enough, or they talk to much around the subject.
🫡 i just realized you don’t need to specify the right hand inversion to fully describe the voicings for a lot of this since describing “drop (number)” with the bass note gives you all the information you need ! very cool. (ie drop 2 exercise is inversion 3 in the right hand for the secondary dominants if you were to un-drop the “2”)
Great stuff as always Adam! Glad you touch up on the previous shorts you done! Good foundational stuff to know!!
this channel has been huge for my songwriting and overall musicianship. thank you, thank you, thank you!
Absolutely EXCELLENT TEACHING ! YOU ARE MY BEST TEACHER presently. Thank YOU ! Making Music IS BEAUTIFUL !!!
Damn, that was good. Now it's time to make it part of my music
Everything you guys put out is practical and easily digestible. We all appreciate it ❤
Such a nice video. I’m just discovering you guys’ channel/podcast and I have a whole back catalogue to catch up on. Thank you!
I'd give this 10 likes ! So practical and useful.
Great video Adam!
Thank you for these variations, gorgeous sounds, thank you!!!
Free musical gold here. Maybe the greatest practice routine ever! Thank You!,
A game changing course thank you !
Absolutely great harmony teaching, thank you Adam!
This is such a great video! I really enjoy the shorts, but a longer explanation video like this is really helpfull in addition. Until this I never realized that it is the drop 3 voicing that makes a lot of bass voices in Bachs music so beautiful.. Thank you!
Quality music tutoring, thanks Adam!
I have been waiting for this wow thanks Adam
Adam, we love you. Thank you so much for all the detail you go into! Shorts are great, but I do prefer when you guys dive into the deep end and explain everything :) it gives me a lot more to work on
Thank you,Adam🌹🌹⭐🌹🌹
I saw the "shorts" and I am very glad to have now the PDF 🎉
This is one of the best video I’ve ever seen 🫶🏻
Wonderful lesson!! So inspiring and unvailing some secrets about how musical colors work. Thank you so much!!!
Thank you for this wonderful exercise ❤
yes this is the way right here. hearkening back to the video a couple weeks ago about the future of the channel... shorts that tease a concept and then a long form video to break it down in depth 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you! Very helpful, engaging and informative videos! Much appreciated!
killer material...I was waiting for you to throw in some tritone subs...I'll jump into that pit of crocodiles after I've woodshedded this lot...love your work.
These are gassing up my guitar practice today! Thanks a bunch!
Thank you for enhancing my practice sessions!
I haven't watched this video yet but I can say that the short vids you put out are extremely useful, to the point, and practical to make music. I send them to myself for easy access in the future.
Your channel is the best. You’re such a good teacher!!
Another excellent lesson💯👌
Dude, my knowledge of music theory, structure isn't that great. I'm more of a riffer/improvisational player, but your teaching and explanation is speaking my language. I think I just found the best teacher for piano on youtube!
This is super. I've been wanting to go back and practice these shorts, but this video gives me enough to work with for a while!
This video really helped click in the Mu chord, which sounds really hip to me! Thanks for the great tutorial! 🎉
Hi many thanks for this lesson. Enjoy too much ❤
Love your channel and videos! Great stuff!
I think we could all use some secondary dominants from time to time to make us briefly feel like we are more important than we actually are!
This is the perfect summary of soooo many beautiful lessons and shorts of yours in an accessible and fun way. If you could do the same for Barry Harris concepts it would be great. I keep struggling with his harmony and improvisation concepts but I am sure that you can do the definitive Barry Harris warmup!
Thank you sooo so much Adam❤
I love the Tonicization of the diatonic chords. And, knowing Solfege, you can pivot from the diatonic to the temporary leading tones of the secondary dominant. Thank you for posting this informative video and keep up the shorts!
These are great shorts. The exercises kick start my brain to perform sequentially . I'm familiar with the concepts but simply putting the particular functional harmonic implementations on the entire scale sequence open those brain paths for quicker and more productive practice, composition and creativity.
.
Love the “shorts” however you crammed a lot of GREAT info into slightly longer vid. Love it !!
Wonderful thank you for your teaching and loving
Outstanding! I think i'm in love!
This helps a lot! Thanks!
I'm loving these 'warmups.' My fluency is taking off. Thank you! Applying that fluency to tunes is a whole other kettle of fish . . .
Really loving these harmony exercises in both long and short form. Would love to see you apply these exercises to a tune, take them through different inversions, incorporate upper extensions, etc. Thanks so much!
Seconded!
Adam, thanks. There is an abundance of useful knowledge here. As you played consecutive mu chords I instantly heard "Rikki Don't Lose That Number" in my head. I'd love for you to give a lesson on that song, or any of Steely Dan. Also, it is useful to note the mu chord is the chordal form of what Jerry Bergonzi calls "melodic structures," a method to learn soloing over various chord types- in this case, a dominant chord. As for drop 3: I have worked on drop 2 for a very long time and it's a lot of work, I 'm not sure I have the fortitude to take on drop 3.
And your explanation of the theory of subdominants is lucid. This makes the "mountain" exercise you put up more comprehensible. It seems not all that hard to learn, and sounds wickedly impressive, ie makes one appear to be a better pianist that one actually is, ha ha.
how have i NOT studied this! great vid
PDF is fixed. thanks.
Okay, okay, I did it. I downloaded the pdf
Jazz Piano College loves this video.
Super useful! Thanks!🖖
Brilliant lesson. I had no idea it was secondary dominants to the diatonic7ths producing that sound that was so familiar.
This video is amazing! Thank you for this! Is there more videos on Harmony exercises ?
Stevie Wonder uses the "4-5-1 MU Major" progression on "Overjoyed", going to C Maj. Great Video!👍
Yeah I love these!!!
THE BEST!!! Thanks
This is great. Drop 3 is gorgeous. Just a matter of practice.
Inflection!😅 Those mutrix sounded great, tu.
Brilliant !!!
Thanks!
Oh, I want to experiment with 6-2-5-1'ing this now. Let's see how far we can extend this train!
Why stop there, 4732651 all the way :D
I hear Bill Evans all over that mu major at the end. Definitely mu major for the win!
I just realised that I've been using the Mu chord since my teens when I transcribed the Hill Street Blues theme. Larry Carlton played on that track so there's a Steely Dan connection there.
it would be fun to see how you would apply these harmony concepts in tunes
Adam, 7 months ago, you did a lesson called “Why should i bother learning scales?” (Which was excellent and touched upon improvisational tools for secondary dominants). At the time you said there would be a part 2……But if there was, I didn’t see it. Any plans for the sequel?
Hi Adam, thanks for all you do. Is the A7-Dm7 Root Position drop 3 too?
I need more mu minor applications.
14:59 there is a mistake with the B7 chord, there should be 2 sharps in the chord. I assume the previous F#m7 sounds better without the b5
Adam the great
"We get that exact same chromatic muuu-vement" :D
Thank you - this is wonderful.
Adam, loving the content you and Peter produce! Running through your V7 of scale degree triads warm up, I got to wondering what leads smoothly into the half diminished besides another half dim. If Barry Harris says C# half dim is really Em6, then F#m7 B7 works okay, but then I thought, so would the tri-tone sub, so Cm7 - F7 - C#ø7. Is there a name for this progression? An F7 - C#ø7 4-way close produces smooth voice leading, but the weird octatonic: C#, Eb, E, F, G, A, B, C. Three consecutive half steps... in two places.
i dont play instruments that do chords but i find this very fascinating and useful
its good to understand the whole section as you play
Wow this is great info, especially for chromatic voice leading which I love. This is great. Could anyone help me with where to look if I wanted to do something similar but with downward chromatic voice leading?
Gene Puerling wrote superb arrangements for the hi lo s and singers unlimited loaded with drop 3
This is killer. Absolutely killer.
Is there anything wrong with analyzing "tritone subs" in jazz harmony as "augmented 6th" chords as they would be called in classical harmony? For example, going to B major, C-E-G-A#, or going to Eb major, Fbb-Ab-Cbb-D?
Question about Drop - 2 (or Drop- 3, and even MU).
I use inverations of all chords all the time, how can I practice this concept? Can I play all 4 notes of the chord in my RH, and just add the Bass to the LH whatever drop I choose?
It seems overwhelming to memorize which note to commit for each inveration position.
Thanks in advance!
What are some resources like books and courses that build on these harmonic exercises? I’m more interested in becoming a music producer than a jazz pianist
Now try substituting each dominant chord with a tritone sub for extra extra spice! (Or even a back door 2-5 if you want your listeners to spit their food)
Awesome:)
What? The chord I thought of almost as my own little favourite chord, actually even has its own name already, "Mu major" (the one with 3rd in the bass)? You can never beat them, can you!
Wow. Why don't people make videos like this for guitarists? It's all, "How to used the CAGED system to shred" videos. I write songs, and this kind of applied theory is exactly what makes my favorite songs sound the way they do, regardless of the instrument they were written on. Anyway, thanks very much. I love this.
I mean if they don’t exist then you should make them. 😊
6:20 I understand that you are trying to imply the key of [C Major:] but I'm on the guitar, and I am drawn to the key of [F Major] I first had to invert to a 4th on the 6th string route and then tried the 4th string route for the A7 chord. Being a Rock-n-Roller, I'm immediately drawn towards Latin Jazz in the style of Carlos Santana. Try Dm7 (add 9) to A Maj7:) What's going on there? I could rock out those two chords in different keys and modulate quickly down the fret board to 1/2 step below and coda. Is there a theory behind this? Nevertheless, your idea opened a whole new perspective for me. Thanks. PS I'M starting on Dm7:) I understand that Dm is the relative minor key of F Major and that you are creating a burrowed chord from F Major relative D minor.. Half diminished chords, diminished and augmented chords seem to write their own rules as they seem to come from whole tone scales out of the Dominant family.
مبدع
Hello, thanks for the lesson, i have some questions maybe someone can help ;
- if u talk about secondery dominants for example Dm7 the approaching chord is A7, but how do you know its A7 and not Am7 or Am7b5 etc.? I understand i take the 5th.
- how would u take this through different keys?
- what would be a good way to train this excersise?
English is not my main language so maybe im missing some info sorry
Thanks in advance
“Nice and easy” puts a Metronome that i in no way could keep up with😂
You should definilty study classic harmony discipline if you like this kind of stuff
nice.
The seven chord in a series of diatonic 7th chords (built in a major key) is a half-diminished chord. I justify its inconvenience as a chord that can be tonicized by a secondary dominant because it is neither major nor minor. Tonal music is set in major and minor tonalities only. By definition, tonic represents the key center or home base in tonal music. Therefore a diminished, half-diminished or augmented chord (for example) can not conventionally serve as a chord to be tonicized. 😅. I’m exhausted!
I don't see any pdf at all
I think the mu major exercise sounds quite bland compared to the others because of the lack of the 7th notes in the secondary dominant chords
