Man, Adam is such a great teacher.
Imo the best online jazz teacher ever...
He definitely has this tone of voice which says "I have some cool stuff and you can certainly understand and make use of it". Very clear and encouraging .

He’s great!
You are the best piano teacher of UA-cam!
I haven't needed to rely on anything other than instinct for a few years now but it was an arduous 20+ year journey getting there and while trying to teach that skill to my students, I've encountered many challenges. The way that Adam explains these advanced concepts makes everything so simple, without taking away from the simultaneous beautiful complexity of the Music. It's such a genius way to reimagine how we view the Music while we're playing it. These videos will help many people to get into the habit of practicing all the right things and probably discovering many sounds that they've been hearing for years but had trouble replicating. Thank you for being such an invaluable piece of Music education!
This helps so much. Now I know what to call, and how to formulate, some of the stuff I've been hearing in Bill Evans' and Herbie's playing for years. THANK YOU! And thanks for the pdf.!
@9:37 Wow mind blown "Hinge" you've given me a new thoughtless perspective when playing. Im usually so focused on scales, the when the how the why chords go together which is very confusing and difficult to keep up with. But the hinge process you've explained is thoughtless and makes absolute since. Knowing that I can bring tension to a chord leading into another chord without thinking of complex scales is amazing.Thank you for opening my eyes.ive been playing for almost 20 years and this is the 1st time I've ever heard of this. BIG THANKS
Ive understood hinging off the 5 bc so many players do it in the wide open spaces of a song . But youre right , hinging off 1 and 3 were eye opening.
These breakdowns are SO important
I've been playing tons of voicings since the pandemic began, and am beginning to develop some minor fluency, but I always wondered about when or why to use tension tones and how to voice lead, but I'm now seeing that one can lead into whatever the next voicing is with tones from a half or whole step above or below any member of the next chord! This is a grand generalization of course, but seeing it this way is a game changer. I KNEW that there had to be a kind of principle behind this. The hinging idea is priceless! And all in the space of about 20 minutes! This will keep this Open Studio member busy for the next year.
I literally stopped at the hinging part too and was like fml finally I get to see the principle and which chord to apply it to
Adam, yet another superb lesson where you show and explain what we need to know so we can take it from there to teach and expand on it ourselves. Please keep it up!
The metronome sounds like slapping the lock shut on a guitar case. I like it. It is very obvious where the beats are. I've never heard anyone use this sound for a metronome before.
I would have gave up music if it wasn't for you and another bunch of great musicians and teachers on this platform; thanks a lot, this is loads of precious and fascinating informations❤
Adam...the best teacher worldwide eveeeeerrrrr!!!..Thanks again Adam...this is Gold!!Pure Gold!!!!!!!
I'm a guitar player and I love watching these videos. Can't do everything with regards to the notes of the full voicings played in these examples, but can mimic it and get the general idea.
"You don't have to ask your mom about it... You don't have to get permission." haha thats great. very useful stuff, by the way, thank you for your posts!
the Beauty of this is that all these movements aren’t set in stone but we just incorporate what we like to hear ourselves into our own playing
14:19. Been playing for 37 years. Somehow I've missed out on the sound of the beautiful A9/C# passing chord (III major) in a 2 5. Thank you!!
Adam you’re a such good teacher because you show everything. The Music thank you for that. We pass away but the Music stays.
wonderful teaching Adam - clear and concise and love the way you enjoy it
Always learning something new from your channel Adam. Thanks for this. Even a new expression which I intend to use, " under-talked-about ".
This is GREAT!!!
Beautiful options that open so many different paths and colours.
Thank you Adam, your lessons are priceless!!!!
Ok, the hinge concept is something I've been doing without thinking about it for a long time, you just made it so simple... appreciate it!
This is my favourite lesson of yours so far.
What an amazing video i love that you guys upload everything with notes for profesional musicians thank u❤
Hinging…great explanation and concept. Thank you for everything!
I love this nerdy harmonic stuff,thanks Adam,getting a lot out of the vids,and courses.
Helpful as always. Always helpful. ALWAYS.
astonishingly good lesson - Thanks Adam (as always)
Super cool lesson, as always. Thx Adam! :)
I love your vids. You are a great teacher.
Thank you for sharing these vids with us. 🙏
Fabulous stuff. All in one place. Thank you!
It's great to see you explaining this... I developed a solo/vocal accompaniment style of jazz/bossa/samba guitar-- and guitar in general-- for myself years ago...
I did so because I had a hard time translating my understanding of scales/modes/voicings to a technical proficiency on my instrument... But my ears could hear, and my fingers could feel where harmonies and lead voicings wanted to go-- so I let them go there... I used a "box" approach to chords, alternating the movement of the "corners" (moving bass lines, and inner and outer voice movement) to the feel of the rhythm...
Ultimately the movement of my harmonies and voicings did not align exactly with what I was hearing in my head-- and often did not necessarily "fit" on paper... But hence the beauty of music-- I just played; my instrument and the notes did the rest on their own... Things connected because they were there to connect; and the music itself did not express the same limitations or restrictions as the theories and pedagogies attached to it...
Those were great days of playing... Finding freedom on an instrument allows you to play beyond your "skill"...
I was never as good as many of the players I admired or played with; but music always showed me a path to the right things to play at the right times...
Excellent video... It is inspiring; and it evokes good memories 🙏
This video is absolute GOLD. The kind of useful secrets a self taught musician like myself is looking for. Thank you!
Thank you for the really cool lesson! After playing around and exploring some more, I also liked substituting the 6 with a 3dim (which is like the tritone substitute except with the root up a half step).
Beautiful indeed.
Very useful information for guitarists as well. I'm digging it.
Great video again guys!
Bro you killin me with the chords after the II and after the V they sound so good
This is great. Adam you are the man
Lolol!!! Absolutely got me at @9:05 looking for my coffee mug! Okay, might be an Irish coffee.
Thanks Adam.. it's awesome !!!
This channel is pure GOLD!!! Thank you so much for sharing these priceless Knowledge
So amazing! 🫶🫶
beautiful!
Very good lesson. Lovely voicings and voice leading.
This is so beautiful and useful. As a guitar and bass player, this makes me wanna play piano again.
Thank you Adam.
You don't have to ask your mom! Love it
This is so well presented, and re-enforces the concept that there are no wrong notes. I am curious as to whether the egg is predating the chicken, it has always been my belief that the extensions, or hinge tones were a way to accommodate the melody while changing the underlying harmony, but the chronology is not important. Thank you for this concise lesson.
My jazz guitar taught me how to ‘decorate’ chords many years ago. This was almost identical to your explanation of hinging. He told me to listen the colours, explore different combinations and use these to create beautiful voice leading through the changes. These decorations then gave me loads of notes to use in soloing.
I moved this onto piano myself as I only ever had classical lessons. It was only many years later that I came across modes and scale/ chord theory. While I’ve studied these thoroughly now, if I’m honest I still think in terms of decorations( hinging) when I’m improvising solos or comping. I suspect this may have been the thought process for many jazz players years ago.
Thanks for all your hard work and keeping an old guy inspired to keep playing 👍
Man you are a great teacher especially how you explain it I’m not a jazz cat but I love these changes there beautiful thank you mark
Man, I love this nerdy stuff!
Thankyou, excellent
Thank you for your work man
So lovely and useful - thanks, Adam! The whole time I was waiting for a resolution (tonic) harmony. Just conditioned, I guess!
Thanks a lot Adam!
I got so much out of this, thank you so much
Thanks for your great expertise!
Very helpful video thanks my friend
That was so helpful! Almost all the voicings work for guitar too. I’m really curious about what you used on the II and V chords. Great material. Thank you!
Love the videos
Loving the Channel
This was an amazing video!!
Great stuff! This will be a lot of fun to practice. I'm using it on guitar. I like keyboard lessons like this, because they don't get bogged down with all the quirky guitar issues.
Update: Yes, I rewatched and took notes. Very valuable exercise.
Maaaaaaaan..exactly what i needed😂🎉
This is great stuff
I love this video. Unfortunately after watching it 7 times I have no idea what is going on. I will continue watching.
iii, VI, ii, V is good to resolve back to I that song form started with.
Fabulous!
Thanks!
Great material. I just subscribed.
As a seasoned bass player, I am mesmerized by your studies into chord progressions and reharmonization. Jazz is a wonderfully skilled, nutty and genius way to relax. It is only music. And then again, it is only Music!
Real good info. You speak my language :)
Thx for this.
great video!
Man this is awesome
That's really cool
BTW Adam I was on Thiago's Vitorio lesson you gave a couple of days ago
I'm the Tritone sub guy questioner lol
Thanks for one more great lesson!!!
Thanks for this wonderful exposition. As a guitar player I found this really enlightening, and I’m curious to know how you decide what voice things to use on the piano. Things seem to fall easily under your fingers… Is that something that really shapes the chords and extensions that you are playing, or do you have in mind something else which determines where your fingers fall?
Thank you so much for this info. I get so much from your videos and am also a member of Open Studio and find it so beneficial. I have a question about these subs. When playing through a tune with a bass player, how do you communicate the substitution? Do you just play it over whatever bass note the bass player is playing? Hope they hear it and go with you? Work it out ahead of time? Or is this just for playing solo? I have always wondered. Thanks again. This information is great and I love that you put this stuff out!
Tom, if you leave out the bass note, it won't matter what the bassist plays. In fact, the colors will change depending if the bassist goes in 5ths or moves chromatically. Play each of these exercises and have the bassist play the following bass note sequences besides iii-vi-ii-V7:
1. iii7-VI7-ii7-V7
2. III7-VI7-ii7-V7
3. III7-VI7-II7-V7 can be alt. (Oscar, Monty, Cedar, Art Tatum, Bud Powell)
4. iii7-bIII7-ii7-bII7
5. III7-bIII7-II7-bII7
6. bVII-VI7-bVI7-V7
NOTE: As Adam mentioned you can also throw in the tritone subs for each of these chord bass notes. You can also do the variations of Bud Powell or Ahmad Jamal and stick the minor chord in front of each V7 chord
Ex: 1 |: E-7 A7 | Eb-7 Ab7 | D-7 G7 | Db-7 Gb7 :|
Ex: 2 |: F-7 Bb7 | E-7 A7 | Eb-7 Ab7 | D-7 G7 :|
Let me know how that works for you. You can hear me do these sort of substitutions on videos with various bassists on my UA-cam channel(jazzpianousa) in live situations. We communicate sometimes with a look or a head signal. Ahmad Jamal often communicated with hand signals, Oscar would point out notes on the keyboard with his LH to the bassist.
I asked my sister the other day about the b3 diminished chord. She didn't want to talk about it. I said 'Exactly, nobody does'. Fun Stuff.
Thank you Adam for this fun exploration and very clear explanation. May you please make a video about everything you don't want to explain at minute 5:00 ? :) I'm listening closely to organize those ideas but... Maybe a part 2 while using the same 1625 material discussed here? Thanks!
Bro, I just paused for at least 10 unexpected minutes on your first example to figure out what all the unlabeled stuff in there is and why it works. I knew you were gonna add some extras, but those tritone-subs were toastier than a Quiznos footlong. Thanks for rehashing an entire semester of harmony in 6 minutes.
- Sincerely,
A musically educated drummer
Bro, you are dangerous!!!
12:21 Ray Bryant's 'Girl Talk' popped up in my mind.
Ah. Inner melodies. I would like to throw "The Melody at Night, with You" into the arena. Jarrett is realizing your "nerdy harmonic stuff" in almost every song...
Great lesson, thank you! Can you explain this "hinging" more? Any guidlines for this with a singer? How about with non-dominant chords?
Great lesson for us aspiring pianist who know that slick “chromatic movements” are dope
Revelatory !
Voice leading mastery
Cool!
4:35 yummy waltz for debby quote
The forth chord at 7:00, what voicing/substitution are you using?
Btw, thank you so much for these videos, they’re great😊
I have no idea what he's talking about but it sounds good. Does the pdf have the exercises in other keys too?
“Don’t have to ask your mom”…gets me every time 😂
You areeeeeeeeeeeeeee the best tech of all world
*Teacher
Can someone explain me what is the chord between Gm7 and C7 in the 4th exercice ? It seems to be like a A over C# but I can’t explain where it goes from harmonically. It sounds great ! Thanks for this lesson
The "hinge" concept is interesting, did you talked about it in the past already ?
the un-notated passing chords also contribute significantly to the motion
hey adam, thanks so much for the tutorial.
i've got a little question though.
can i apply these principles for every "minor to minor" chord change or specifically only to 3-6-2-5 turnarounds?
is there some kind of mechanic behind this?
thank a lot!

Smart hip hop sound.. Don't beat me!!
I’m a metal guitar player, trying to find the strange noises. I may never be a pro player but I enjoy this stuff like a brain snack.
