I need to spend a month doing nothing but studying your videos

[richiejohnson]

I've been an active amateur musician all my life. This is like calculus to me. I salute you

[MASTAHMELO]

I never know a single thing of what this guy is talking about. It literally sounds like gibberish but I love it

[stealthmonkeyG]

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.

If I could only learn from one person, it would be Adam.

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.

[LeVezz]

Incredible !!
I'll have to write these down.
Please do PDF files of those little snippets so this knowledge propagates easier !!

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 was so good I swear I started hearing "I miss the rage"

[Bashanvibe]

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!!!

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!

[gabrielbotsford]

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!!

[yanbatista]

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

[complexity]

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.

[RodrigoRaez]

Great information. Thank you very much.

[russell_szabados]

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.

[Poeme]

Second chord sounds Scriabinesque—beautiful!👌

[Bruce.-Wayne]

These shorts vids are gold nuggets, MosDef....

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.

[onesyphorus]

omitting the 5 is so nice for intros in thst first one
