    I absolutely love the way this was structured - it went from "Oh, I can do that..." to "Oh, I can probably do that..." to "I better go practice that..." Brilliantly done.

    I've learned more about theory - in a way that I can actually use it - from watching your videos for the last year or so, than I have in the last 20 years. At least.

    I am seriously considering subbing to your courses I really like your friendly natural approach to teaching it keeps the mind interested and focused.
    I have seen this approach of developing secondary dominants and more with tritones etc but where I always stumble is often the melody note can sound off and I really then struggle to move forward. I think sometimes I make things harder for myself too because I forget to make my experiments rhythmic and it will not sound like music without some kind or timing.

    Fantastic goldmine here, thank you! Indeed, the "moo" voicing is typically referred to in CCM and gospel circles as just a "drop 2" though I've learned from your lessons on drop x chords there's much more to the story in jazz. In any case, I can't wait to put some of this to use in church tomorrow!

    You're genuinely such an inspiring teacher!
    As a musician with other-than-jazz origins, I've never used the bVI bVII quite like this before! I usually devolve back into either the cliché Picardy thing or just a VI-VII-i in the parallel minor key.
    (Please excuse any potentially odd semantics or improperly labeled chords, I'm still learning and not trying to show off haha)

    More and more Open Studio clips have been showing up in my yT feed which is good. Earlier yesterday I went to the website for the first time and posted some questions in a note on the website, like at 7 pm. Saturday. Then I woke up at 2 am Sunday and this class was in my feed completely relevant to what I asked 7 hours ago. (The AI mass surveillance state did something useful for once in its wretched life. Scary world but appreciated in this instance.)

    As I listen through again it occurs to me that someone could improvise over these exercises with another instrument, like a sax or a muted trumpet. Not to mention putting improvised bass parts to go with every one of these variations. Loving it! 😊

      Guitar Mu chord voicings
      (1) Starting on low E string (so the 3rd of chord is on that string):
      4X445X makes a nice E Mu Major chord. 3rd on bottom, and stacked fourths on top.
      Alternatively, you could do 4744XX or 47445X, like the guy above me suggested.
      OR if you want a Major7 Mu: 47444(4)
      (2) Starting on A string:
      X4X455
      There’s a nice A Mu Major with stacked fourths
      Alternatively: X4745 so your tonic is an octave lower
      OR for a Major7 Mu: X47454
