Adam has a new course! - openstudiojazz.link/maness FREE PDF to follow along - learn.openstudiojazz.com/clut... Let's get clutch! Adam Maness is gonna teach you 3 essential chords.
Harmony’s such a cool thing, ain’t it? Don’t get me wrong, the melody of a song is important-but the harmony and the implications of subtle differences in the voicings for me are where the piano truly becomes that, “vehicle of expression,” that we’d want it to be.
I’m not good enough to really incorporate a lot of the ideas on this channel yet, but I like watching this stuff, cuz it’s like seeing what is down the road. So inspiring, so beautiful.
What happens if Adams stops making videos? Something happens to him? Would you stop learning? That’s such a shallow way of learning, who cares who is teaching us? We should be open to learning from anyone, you are the type of person to not learn from someone who has a skin color who is a bit darker no matter how talented they are. Stop crushing talent and be open to learning no matter what, or else you will be left with what you begin with.
@@botvinny608 No, YOU relax. These type of comments are the ones who get 10k likes while it doesn’t support the cause we are here for, enjoying to learn and be open minded.
Do great jazz musicians keep an encyclopedia of these random chunks of musical goodness in their working memory to be able to recall them to the keys whenever the musical moment strikes? Each of these videos is GOLD, but I can’t remember all of these things while improvising 😢.
It helps to master one or two and overuse it in as many contexts (tunes) as you can imagine and in as many keys as you can imagine then when you are almost sick of it add more. By doing this over time they will be internalized into your improv vocabulary! Best of luck in your practice!
@@calebraysilcott9471ch a good comment lol it’s really about taking one sound or concept or skill and practicing the crap out of it until it’s ingrained in your muscle memory and your ear and i really love how caleb said it - *overuse* it. it’s not the only way to practice, but it’s one hella effective way! (and fun) you just fckin tastelessly put that shit everywhere so you get used to the physical feeling of using it and the experience of hearing it in all the situations you might want it (and all the situations you don’t), and then you gradually dial it back to a sound in your palette
I reccomend just overusing the technique as much as you can until it gets stale, then move to another and so on. You eventually achieve a balance of all the techniques you learn so you don’t get tired of any particular thing
Think kinetic memory, not short term memory. Your "fingers" (cerebellum) can remember a lot more a lot better than your short term memory. A good player shouldnt be conciously "thinking" too much when they perform.
As a saxophone player, your short videos really help bridge the gap in understanding between what I am hearing and how you guys get those sonorities. Thanks a bunch!!
Really appreciate you guys putting out shorts so i can retain some non braindead information from youtube shorts. Also not trying to pitch me some paid class or anything. Its really difficult to find just straight usefull information on music theory online these days and you guys are one of the few resources that is pretty much great in all ways. Keep it up please!
What’s crazy is I use to randomly play those with no context as a kid!!! Now that I’ve grown and season a little bit it’s about placement for me!!! Know when to use those chords!!!
Yep :') That's one of the coolest things to do, rediscover things you used to do, sounds you used to enjoy creating, and learning more about different contexts to use them in, why you like them, what they really are, who else used them. It's such a full-circle feeling.
Thanks so much for your videos! Your style of playing is so pleasing. Way too advanced for me at the moment, but who knows? Maybe I'll get somewhere approaching this someday.
👏👏👏👏👏This is really incredible, could someone translate it into Spanish for me...?? I'm understanding something but it would be nice if someone can help me, thank you
Just adding this because it's under used and very cool. Root, Dom 7, 9, 13. No 3, no 5, it's dominant, it has a 5th in it. It can be very ambiguous and used in different ways to transition very creatively. Its a composition Swiss Army knife.
I'm glad to come across an Open Studio short. I was digging into your content before YT introduced shorts and triggered the ADHD I've fought my whole life.
This guy is telling all the secrets that took me 10 years to teach myself from a radio boom box as a kid. I wish I grew up with a teacher. Many many hours teaching myself.
For those that like a systematic treatment of fancified dominant chords, look up the Upper Structure system. It characterizes 9 extensions/enhancements to the basic dom 7th chord. In that system, example #2 here becomes: C7, US #iv, root doubled.
I think there are lots of videos on by Barry Harris himself on RUclips covering this topic (6th diminished scale), he has recorded many masterclasses. And there are also many people that explains his method (with the info extracted from his own videos).

The third chord works amazing with Cadd4 and Abmaj13#5
That Barry Harris bit sounded more or less like the same progression and movement as in the music for the fairy fountain in the legend of Zelda: Ocarina of time! 😃
👏👏👏👏👏Realmente esto es increíble alguien podría traducirme al español.. ?? Estoy comprendiendo algo pero estaría bueno si alguien puede ayudarme gracias
It took me over five minutes to decode the 7-3-7-3 part... In case anyone wonders: It always refers to the root of the base F. See you next year when I understood the rest...
a common way to open misty is with a Idim7 chord into the Imaj7 (in the key of Eb, it would simply be Ebdim7 into Ebmaj7). another example is Oscar Peterson's recording with Clark Terry, where he plays a D7#9/Eb into Ebmaj7.
👏👏👏👏👏This is really incredible, could someone translate it into Spanish for me...?? I'm understanding something but it would be nice if someone can help me, thank you
Very nice but in the first example there's a lot of doubling of voices (3rds and 7ths). In previous OS videos on voicing I thought this was generally to be avoided. Adam, can you clarify?
the chord with the #11 is the fourth degree coming from the melodic minor , but if you add the flat 9 it change the rule , where is that coming from? thanks a lot man
Hey guys. I'm tryna learn sheet music, why is there a sharp symbol at the beginning of the staff right after the cleffs, even though there are no notes after it
Thats the thing about voicings that confuse me allot. Typically if the chord involves notes into the next octave going up I use that as an indicator that it may be a stacked chord up to C9 or 13. What note is where makes it tough to figure out what is what.
at the start with 1 7 3 7 3 when you arrived to the key of C major you played the dominant 7 instead of the major 7. Just thought I'd let you know and I forgive you :)
I straight up wonder what music school is like now that professors have to teach and talk about Sus chords. Do some professors fk with their students, do other professors do a "How do you do fellow kids" with bad joke routines, do some professors eye murder any student that makes a sus joke when they talk about Sus chords? I seriously wonder.
I need to spend a month doing nothing but studying your videos
Great idea!!
A month playing just these changes in every key 🎹
Don't say it, do it.
Play them...
Yes, that’s implied when studying music
I've been an active amateur musician all my life. This is like calculus to me. I salute you
I never learned calculus but im learning NOWWWWWW

My fav piano channel by far, and I'm watching your videos from years ago. Thank you🎉

That last chord is the first note in polka dots and moonbeams from "The Amazing Bud Powell v. 2"
The second one reminded me of "Christmas Time Is Here" in some places.

omitting the 5 is so nice for intros in thst first one
These shorts vids are gold nuggets, MosDef....
Great content. Should be part of a regular post and lesson. thanx.
Absolutely stunning!
In high school jazz band i played a tune called I Remember Stan (kenton) and the whole thing is built on rt7373. 👍
A!! Very Nice and Calming Thank you!
Less is More! (First no 5th then no 3rd) Excellent vid! Thanks
always very good ideas. and I know, what I’m talking about. ❤ it’s like gold mine. chapeau! and thank you.
this is insane!!
Wow great sounds 🎹
Always makes me smile
The last one is part of the opening chords in Joe Hisaishi's One Summer's day for Sprited Away
Dm11 hits different
Outstanding!

Which one?
Hey i really like your content! cheers!
What's a clutch chord?
Nice! Thanks
Love it
Very insightful😊
Awesome❤
Thank you!
Wow…jam packed. Anyway we could get a glimpse into the harmonic theory of 1 and 2? Why’s it work so well..
You all are a gold mine
Bro went fairy fountain
Open question; what is the definition of a clutch chord? :-)
That Barry Harris bit sounded more or less like the same progression and movement as in the music for the fairy fountain in the legend of Zelda: Ocarina of time! 😃
Awesome
❤not many piano players here. (sorry for my English) thank you from Hamburg Germany
The second one takes me straight to Vince Guaraldi.
Cool!!!
I feel like I'm watching Mr. Roger's Neighborhood, and I mean that in a very good way.
crazy
Anyone else hearing Great Fairy Fountain in the Barry Harris section?

I've taken two years of music theory and chord names still sound like gibberish to me.
It took me over five minutes to decode the 7-3-7-3 part... In case anyone wonders: It always refers to the root of the base F. See you next year when I understood the rest...
🔥🔥
The C7(add 13, #11, b9) sounds like the voicing for an opening of Misty, something with Ella on it, I swear.
a common way to open misty is with a Idim7 chord into the Imaj7 (in the key of Eb, it would simply be Ebdim7 into Ebmaj7). another example is Oscar Peterson's recording with Clark Terry, where he plays a D7#9/Eb into Ebmaj7.
❤
*plays the 2nd chord* me: „look at meeeeee“
How many times did watched it? That’s right! Many.
Would someone mind telling me the name if the classic song played in the beginning section?
Brilliant loop! "Those are" at the end 👏👏👏👏👏👏
What is that chord from klKeith Jarrett's tokyo encore? You'll know the one.
👏👏👏👏👏This is really incredible, could someone translate it into Spanish for me...?? I'm understanding something but it would be nice if someone can help me, thank you

Very nice but in the first example there's a lot of doubling of voices (3rds and 7ths). In previous OS videos on voicing I thought this was generally to be avoided. Adam, can you clarify?
I've not seen mention of others yet, but certainly 3rds have been in nearly all the voicing related stuff!
Shittt this is so nice I had to play it right away 😂
👏🏻👏🏻
Where can i watch the rest of this?
The chord played during the C7 Blabla is not #11 since a F note is played
Does anyone remember a song called the guy that found the lost chord?
What was that chord or have we lost it again?
the chord with the #11 is the fourth degree coming from the melodic minor , but if you add the flat 9 it change the rule , where is that coming from? thanks a lot man
Bbminmaj/C7 or C7sus(b9) is famous
The second chord sounds like something bach put on his chromatic fantasia
Hey guys. I'm tryna learn sheet music, why is there a sharp symbol at the beginning of the staff right after the cleffs, even though there are no notes after it
Indicates the default key
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
The second chord sounds like “Christmastime is Here”
👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
R-2-5-7 could be called a chordioid, but many others could call that a Maj7sus2. It's definitely a personal favorite
don’t know what to feel about the second, it ain’t stunningly beautiful that’s for sure
Second one is C13(#11b9) though?(the notation just said C7 b9 #11
Thats the thing about voicings that confuse me allot. Typically if the chord involves notes into the next octave going up I use that as an indicator that it may be a stacked chord up to C9 or 13. What note is where makes it tough to figure out what is what.
I just remember the shortcut: add a triton minor on top of a dominant 7 base.

What does “clutch” mean here?
It's silly slang like the use of "Awesome!"
@@AcousticBruce LOL thanks - I had made it far more complicated.
It's not slang I can get into. There is also a slang word: "ratchet". It's the opposite. You will not catch me using this seriously either.
@@AcousticBruce Thanks for bringing it down to earth. I'm classically trained from my youth but want to learn jazz now. Great channel.
@@AcousticBruceclutch doesn't mean awesome and ratchet is not the opposite of clutch. Why are you commenting to explain slang you don't know?..

😅😅😅 bebop jazz piano improvise 😅😅 please
What does dominant mean?
Essentially it's a major chord with a flat 7
@@devanshah06 Ah I see! Thank you! 7 meaning the 7th note?
Yes, the 7th scale degree. Glad I could help!
at the start with 1 7 3 7 3 when you arrived to the key of C major you played the dominant 7 instead of the major 7. Just thought I'd let you know and I forgive you :)
He was playing in the key of F. C is the V of F, the root so maybe that's why
