This is really useful information for me, thank you. As an aspiring songwriter and musician I found this most helpful to where I am in my musical journey. Great info.
Love the approach of drawing from different instruments! I think Billy Joel applied this technique in ‘She’s Always a Woman’ which starts off with block chords before moving into an almost guitarist fingerpicking style pattern with the rolling effect you describe!
You’ve done it again….enjoyable, concise and quite beautiful. Step-by-step, you show us how to make the sounds that we hear in popular music and add our own personality.
Thanks Adam! Would you be able to talk about the fingers you use when playing chords? For example, when playing right hand parts, I tend to use my thumb at the bottom of the chord; but I notice that you often use the pointer finger; which feels pretty uncomfortable to me. Just wondering what the logic is for that.
I finally tried this technique on a different progression in key of C. (C G Am Em F C G F)....Wow, what an awesome exercise. Really changes how I think of inversions and really adds to creative improvisation. Thank you.
Yep. Perfect lesson. Love the playing at the end with the chords listed at bottom as you play. Will download the PDF. The cut aways to comedic scenes are not necessary and are just a distraction that interups concentration. In my humble opinion. Great lesson as usual. Thank you so much! Took your survey sent to my email. Cant wait to learn more. 😊
I loved this - super fun. I can do it - BUT what I can't do - and would love to do - is apply this to songs ... would love a tutorial on that aspect - taking patterns and doing them on a number of different 4:4 songs.
Hi Elizabeth - thanks for this. A few people have said similar things - I’m going to do some UA-cam videos on this and then I’m also including this as a key feature of the online course being released in early 2025. Glad you enjoyed!
Great video! And always a nice fresh chord progression to practice with. Technically it's "boxing in the diad bc inside the box are just two notes 🤔 but potato patato...
This is a great way to start the weekend! Thank you very much!! I am a long time guitarist and I love this hybrid style. And it's so hard to find a capo for the piano! Ha! Great share, Coach!!
Do you have a recommendation on the type of metronome? It sounds like the metronome you are using is able to accentuate on the beat? Have no experience with metronomes and I would love a referral if you could please. Thank you for doing such a great job in the online community,
There is definitely an amount of dirty chords (sets of dissonant sounds... a spectrum analyzer shows the matter in the best possible way) that is perfect to create and/or emphasize story critical/important places/points. However, musicians often get lost, overenjoying unusual and technically challenging finger/works, that results with tunes that cannot be remembered and/or much appealing to others. Stay simple and modest... there are many other ways to sound good than "wearing wrinkled and dirty clothes".
Thanks!

This actually really helps me bridge the gap between guitar and piano, having learned guitar first. Great video 👏

Ah yeah! Good spot Will! Love that song

excellent! thanks for the tips!
Great tutorial Adam , this may take some time for me to achieve but I'll thoroughly enjoy the process 😄😄

Awesome! So glad you found it useful!
breathe life easy................ thanks coach!
Thank you so much!! Another fantastic video helping me step by step to get more creative 🎉🎉
Theres nothing else like this out there - your amazing 🔥🔥🔥
You're so welcome!
Your videos have made such a difference to my practice - much much more enjoyable and fun!
You just keep on delivering, Ad! Thanks so much, more great ideas for melodies/accompaniment...so many ideas of yours to explore! 😃✊
Excellent exercise!
Thanks Adam. This is great, I appreciate your videos
Awesome. Been looking for this for a long time.
Great - i have waited so long for a video like that - thank you so much!
Great stuff, thank you. I'm an old gospel organist that finds piano challenging.
Thanks Coach for teaching us to be creative
You are correct, it is called a "hammer-on." Thank you for the helpful video! 🙂
Thanks for the info!
Hello! Nice lesson again. Guitar names for the tecnique to go fast from one note to another can be both hammer on or pull off
Thanks for this video!!
That was delightful! Your videos keep getting better and better!
Thank you so much!
love your pickings.............. thanks!
Yes a hammer on. Great job!
You are a great master.Many many thanks for the free great PDF.God Bless you forever.

Great lesson! Sounds wonderful! Thank you very much for this!
another banger lesson!!! Thanks Adam
excellent video ✌️
Thank you!
Very nice. I want to try on a different progression to see if I can use the same technique
Yeah give it a go! Thanks!

Thanks Ted!
Another great lesson!
Thanks Liam!
Thanks for this (I keep waiting for that last C to resolve to G)
A good source for more patterns from 19 century guitar repertoire, is the 150 right hand studies by Mauro Giuliani
No right or wrong. But you can immediately hear when it’s not “right”…
Please try using common songs which are known and add their titles

Not one in particular - there are some great apps available. The one by Soundbrenner is the one I use. Thanks!!
you call it hammer
What is the overall template for this progression?
I have a difficult time using octaves in my chords, so I just add the second or the fourth note of the chord.
There is definitely an amount of dirty chords (sets of dissonant sounds... a spectrum analyzer shows the matter in the best possible way) that is perfect to create and/or emphasize story critical/important places/points.
However, musicians often get lost, overenjoying unusual and technically challenging finger/works, that results with tunes that cannot be remembered and/or much appealing to others.

Fully agree! Its great to add a 9, 11 or 13 now and then but not in every song and not all the time.
Sounds a lot like Jim Brickman style.
Thanks!
