Man the sus on the tritone sub is a sound I’ve heard for over a decade and not known how to play and always wanted to. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU
I'm a classical musician that's always wanted to play jazz piano. I have a masters in conducting and a bachelor's in composition. When I sit down to improvise at the piano with my intermediate piano skills, I'm always at a loss. They way you so cleanly explained how to use these techniques to spice things up was so succinct and clear. Gonna go sit down and practice!
This might be the greatest video on the internet. Technically accurate, beautifully shot, funny and effective. Thank you so much for putting this out into the world.
I've been a jazz musician for 25 years and I ALWAYS learn something new from your videos. Even if it's just techniques to be a better teacher myself. You guys are really doing a great job of education, passing on the tradition, and video production (which is my other, more lucrative career), and deserve all the attention you're getting. PS I believe they're called "Michael Rush Drop 2 2 Chords," not "Open Studio Mu Chords." 😜
Wow! Wow! Wow! In the beginning of the video I thought I would never be able to play that. But you explained it so well, that right now I am sitting in front of my piano and it sounds ... totally crooked face-ish 😂
Great way to teach by revolving this all around the basic I vi IV V progression in C! Makes it a lot easier to understand. Always inspired by your vids
Hey, this video genuinely changed how I'm going to improvise going forward more than any other I've seen on the platform. Thanks for doing what you do!
Thanks for all your efforts in making jazz piano theory easy to understand... even for a non native English speaker ! I am trying to learn jazz after 20 years without practicing piano, and you really help ! cheers
This might be the best thing i learned as a jazz pianist... Im not joking, the fact this is free, is very suprising to me. I thank you for this information, and i wish you the best in life!
Just found this channel and I'm blown away with the quality and the content. Commenting just to appreciate the work gone into this! Keep making these videos!
Super great production!. I had to watch this a few times, I could not stop laughing at Peter in the background, and finally get the added spicy progression.
Thank you for this - instantly useful. One of the things I've been struggling with is how to make tritone subs actually sound good, and this has definitely helped.
Thank you Adam for this amazing insight to Crooket face chords. I wish I'd had a piano teacher like yourself. I love watching you and Peter in your tuition videos they are great and so very informative. And it has to be said you both are amazing piano players. So I thank you both for sharing your talents as piano teaching's. Please keep up the fantastic work you are doing. I'm a retired 70 year old and have not played piano for over 35 years. Adam and Peter you have givene a new lease of live. "Top Guys". Terry.
This is so helpful!! I'm so happy to have discovered this channel! I'm a classically trained pianist looking to up my jazz/gospel game, and this is so well-explained and immediately useful- thank you so much!
Normaly I don’t command much on youtube, but here is my sincere THANK YOU ! 😊 Clearly explained and also nice spread voicings being played appart from the interestng modal interchange stuff. As a pianist myself this is giving me new inspiration and musical fun. Thanx 👍
Absolutely incredible video. I am self taught but never learned how to read music well enough. So videos like this really unlock a new world of playing for me. If I could ask for one thing for people like me: would it be difficult to highlight the keys that you are playing with a visual effect on the overhead shot of your fingers playing the notes? Just a thought and request! Love the channel!
it is crazy how this is free
Ars gratia artis
Agreed!
This is free because their paid stuff is deep deep. They’ve got more where this came from
Because it doesn’t matter if you can practice and practice. If you don’t “it,” you’ll never be up there with the elites, if those are your goals
Mans really donating to charity 😭
Man the sus on the tritone sub is a sound I’ve heard for over a decade and not known how to play and always wanted to. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU
Production quality is amazing lately, great work to the whole team! Adam and Peter's acting / on-camera presence is really impressive also!
yeah besides the music teaching quality, the editor is a beast

“chords that make life worth living” is one of the best things i’ve ever heard

🎉🎉🎉
Great way to teach by revolving this all around the basic I vi IV V progression in C! Makes it a lot easier to understand.
Always inspired by your vids
Yes! I'd love to see more videos using basic pop progressions and slowly complexifying them
An essential tutorial! Bread & butter concepts and a must-watch for guitarists as well!
Learned classical piano since I was about 5. Took me 30years to find this bad boy, incredible!
This video alone unlocked a whole new harmonic world to me. Thank you so much!
The modal interchange chords are just massive. I use them everywhere and I wanna cry every single time I hit a IVm6maj7 chord to make a cadence
You guys are so real for this
Simply brilliant lesson! Enough material for months
I’ve “known” this stuff for decades but this explanation is the one that really unlocked it in my brain. Awesome stuff!!
3:55 that graphic perfectly aligning with the keyboard is so satisfying😍... thank you, editor!
Some of those chord movements are gorgeous, especially the Moo chords
Probably the best video I've seen from you guys, and that's saying something
There's so many damn lamps in this video. I love OS.
THat's pure gold for the ones that we don't have harmony knowledge. We just want to understand, and enjoy... CHEERS!!
MY GOD THESE TWO PIANISTS ARE INCREDIBLE!!!
Hey, this video genuinely changed how I'm going to improvise going forward more than any other I've seen on the platform. Thanks for doing what you do!
Love the fun approach to teaching something complex it makes it easier to digest
Thank you algorithm. Instantly subscribed to this channel. Praise the Lord.
You’ve hit another level with this one
secondary dominant = the 5, the 5 and the 5...love these guys!
Been on UA-cam piano for so long. These are by far the best piano videos I have ever watch on UA-cam. Thank you!
7:06 "cmon now" i hear you sir!
Thanks for all your efforts in making jazz piano theory easy to understand... even for a non native English speaker ! I am trying to learn jazz after 20 years without practicing piano, and you really help !
cheers
Love what you do and your contribution to those who love to play piano
Learning so much and making my chord dictionary a lot bigger! Thank you!
Very very well explained indeed. Now I finally understand the theory behind these gorgeous chords!
This is why music theory is so important and I like it so much 💫
Crooked face chords are my fave, they have nice Vince Guaraldi sound
As a kid in our shed sessions, we always called it the "stank face."
Absolutely, a tight funk bass and guitar groove is the other cause of a stankface, found with great musicians everywhere.
I just commented this lmao. This STANK FACE
We STILL call it stank face
This might be the best thing i learned as a jazz pianist...
Im not joking, the fact this is free, is very suprising to me. I thank you for this information, and i wish you the best in life!
I keep coming back for the music content and the humour. So clever and so funny.
Just found this channel and I'm blown away with the quality and the content. Commenting just to appreciate the work gone into this! Keep making these videos!
modal interchange makes me want to drop guitar and start playing piano, it sounds so great on this instrument
Ooooooo, I like the 7th in the bass of the secondary dominants!
2:46 wowza
I'm in love with this video
Wow, you guys and your lessons get better and better every day. Great stuff for years, but you guys have somehow stepped it up as of late. Love it!
Production so good on this one
i love these two.
Guitarist here. This is great and a fresh change.Thanks!
2:45 You've got a friend in me
4:29 Maxwell's silver hammer
I haven't watched in awhile. The production is crazy interesting and engaging. Nice wide open aperture on camerra and a funny intro.
The classic Adam Maness eyes in the back of the head trick 3:48
👀
Yes!! Thanks so much for the publishing the stank face rules!
Quality of this channel is outstanding
Super great production!. I had to watch this a few times, I could not stop laughing at Peter in the background, and finally get the added spicy progression.
Bob DeBoo!! Killing it as always!
definitely been doing the open studio moo chord for years as a gospel musician.
This is just purely amazing. You guys are the best. I feel like my playing will become way more colourful once I practice more of these exercises!
Those tritone subs really giving me Crystal Silence vibes
Place the accents on the passing chords!!! The "landing" chords become the passing chords and you further emphasize the backbeat drive
I was gonna say ... PRODUCTION VALUES ... the chops, the humor....
this is the best video ever
0:49 You can call them ̶s̶u̶p̶e̶r̶c̶a̶l̶i̶f̶r̶a̶g̶i̶l̶i̶s̶t̶i̶c̶e̶x̶p̶i̶a̶l̶i̶d̶o̶c̶i̶o̶u̶s̶ chords?
So fuuny and so inspiring. U r making jazz cooler now
What great intro :D Peter had me cracking up 😂😂😂
I really do think this is some of the best music lessons on the Internet! 🎶✨️🎶 thank you so much
This is fantastic!!!!
Whole new energy, I love it. The production value with the amazing theory content. I love Peter in the back😂
Thank you for this - instantly useful. One of the things I've been struggling with is how to make tritone subs actually sound good, and this has definitely helped.
Mother of God this sounds so good
these videos are so fun guys please never stop ❤️
#cantstopwontstop

I like those chords bro and the bloopers, LOL!
Amazing. Please don't stop
Could you discuss favorite albums recorded with a lot of crooked chords on your podcast? I would like to know more music with that flavour.
amazing format. thank you guys, this is amazing.
Best video of OS so far just with the first 30s and Peter's Bored face haha
This video is actually amazing
Finally a video about stank face
You guys are hilarious and educational at the same time

Stay awake Peter. For us 😢
On a serious note this answers a lot. I appreciate.
Thanks you!
Been using Mu chords for decades!
Wow, this video is something to study for a week at least
Absolutely incredible video. I am self taught but never learned how to read music well enough. So videos like this really unlock a new world of playing for me.
