    Great tutorial. This songs become so much more of a beast when you realize Charlie Hunter played the bass, melody AND THE SOLO on the same instrument at the same time!

    the 90s were a great time for soul music. so many new sounds and attitudes. D'Angelo, Maxwell, Erykah Badu ... and acid jazz in the UK. seemed like every week, we got something new.

      Soulquestrians working out of Electric Lady Studios at the same times gave us Mamas Gun, Voodoo, Like Water for Chocolate, and Things Fall Apart. Would have been amazing to witness that.

    Peter! I'm in rehearsal for a gig with my band and your name comes up during rehearsal 🎶. James Ward, Bassist says PETER MARTIN. I knew him from back in school. He stood this high... he puts his hand mid chest. I said, I LOVE Peter. That's my boy! You are the man. Crazy love from KC out to you and Adam. So much content, this little jazz flute/vocalist loves your content. Outstanding content... big fan! Loving this post... you got that Groove authority Thang. Yes baby.

    Great lesson, very useful, and Peter really sounds wonderful. One thing : It's a detail, but on the chorus (or bridge, whatever you want to call it) it seems to me the 2nd degree is a flat II (Db7), and not a normal ii half-diminished (d 1/2dim)... or am I hearing things ?

    absolutely love all of the open studio vids. I've only been following for a few months and have already seen an enormous improvement in a few areas. Just a thought: an overhead view of the Rhodes instead of from the side would make learning fingerings easier in my opinion. Thanks Peter and Adam!

    Hey Peter! I love your videos, especially your fun tutorials like the Stevie wonder one and little fun rants like you talking about Hargrove and griffin. Could you do a video on Ahmad Jamal's specifically Rhodes or piano playing, I don't hear a lot of It talked about even though he has been really influential ever since he started playing. big ups team at open studio 😁😁😁

      The piano is not an antique Rhodes. It's a vintage vibe electric piano. New electromechanical piano in the same style but with a few more modern touches. Think of it like the Rhodes' grandkids. He intros the piano at length in another video they've put out

    • @brunoharter3922
      @brunoharter3922 Рік тому +5

      He’s mainly using the Cminor pentatonic (C - Eb - F - G - Bb) and adding the blue note (F#).
      But then he also plays some other pentatonics during the changes, like Fm penta or even G pentatonic to highlight the natural B.
