I grabbed this warmup from an earlier video (as well as other great warmups such as III VI II V I, the secondary dominants with Mu, the finger independence II V I, and others). I’ve memorized them all and run them through all 12 keys as a daily routine. The big benefit for me has been in learning where my mental focus needs to be as I navigate the changes. Enharmonic thinking gets gnarly with more accidentals. I play half notes to give myself time to move my hands, then quarter notes to speed up the transitions - especially the mental aspect. Then I focus on really locking to the metronome and that teaches me even more about where I’m still struggling to find finger placement. I try to find a focal point from which everything else can follow most readily. In the III VI II V I warmup that’s the bass. The most important goal for me is to pre-hear each chord and associate the hand shape with the sound. Messing with inversions is really critical because the whole idea in improvisation is to get to the next position from wherever your hand is now - and to get there (in tempo) with an intentional voicing whether it’s smooth voice leading or a leap away (Jazz is very challenging). These are great self-teaching exercises! Love it! Thank you!
A plus but with a BIG suggestion. Instead of practicing in all 12 keys by ascending one half step per repetition, instead use a random number generator to generate numbers from 1 to 12. 1 will be key of A. 4 will be key of C. 7 will be key of Eb. Much better to practice this way.
Thank you, Adam, for sharing your knowledge and ability to teach! I’m trying to remain accountable in taking what you offered and develop it for myself.
Just want to thank you guys…very helpful stuff that I never had the chance to learn from another….great stuff, educational in an absorbable way. You are a fantastic pianist by the way.
this is FANTASTIC. this will help me progress so much over the next months+ 🙏🙏🙏. was gonna compile secondary dominant exercises from various other vids but this right here is here just the penultimate for getting all these chords into my hands+brain
I wonder how can I apply this to the guitar? taking into account that many positions on the guitar fretboard move in parallel. It occurs to me that I can use them with the fundamentals of the chord on different strings.
Adam, do you have a gps where you practice this exactly secondary dominants with 2-5s with different voicings/inversions? where Em(b5) has the bass in D and then you change to A7 with the third in the bass. I swear i saw this somehere in open studio

Why?
@@JagoJPianoso that your familiarity with the chords/scales doesn’t really on coming from the next scale down

It is a Genius tutorial from a genius teacher..🔥🔥🔥🔥
A useful technique giving you step-wise voice-leading, and basic, yet hipper harmonizations of our diatonic “friends”. 😊

This is such a beautiful lesson. Thank you!
Thanks very much. These are terrific videos!
Thank you!
Thank you Adam.. Like Tony the Tiger used to say.."Iiiiiittttttttt'ssssss GREAT!!!!!!...
Great Lesson! saludos amigos
THANK YOU! 🙏♥
The voice leading is sooo good 😊
How do you tonicize the 7th degree??
I'd really like to see how you handle the 7! I came up with my own solution, kindF# to Bdim G/B C. I haven't expanded it with extensions yet though.
Hi from Toronto
Abselouty amazing 🎉
Great....Glenn North Yorkshire... Uk

Is your course for beginner at piano?
Adam, do you have a gps where you practice this exactly secondary dominants with 2-5s with different voicings/inversions? where Em(b5) has the bass in D and then you change to A7 with the third in the bass. I swear i saw this somehere in open studio
Hey! This is great thank you!.. so when is your warm up course coming up?
New Jersey here.
Beautiful I love your playing sir, I just don't understand the tonality and then going form the fourth ,how will I be able to 2 to the 5
2 5 to the 4 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wish I knew this was going on! Pdf?
Just posted!
How can we get pdf?
Just posted!
Hey!.... Practicing from Japan
Hongkong here.😊
Practicing from my big apt 😅
Awesome,but I think showing the note should have be better and easy too
There's no way I can hit those secondary chords that quickly ... or find them ...
How about slowing down the video and trying to hit them at a slower speed?
