Don't Use Cookie Cutter Chords!

[LeonThomasian]

For those confused, using cookie cutter gives you the same shape every time same with chords, you gotta vary the shape as you move between these chords alternating major/minor triad in the right hand. Hope that makes sense.

This is the most confusing video I've ever watched.

Instructions unclear. Neighborhood dogs won’t stop howling.

This is one of the video's i get in like a few years

[inshambles]

i just wanna be able to play what i’m hearing in my head

Parallel structures are fine when used with taste and at least a few of the most respected composers of the 20th century would agree with that (Debussy, Messiaen, Stravinsky) This is the sort of topic that deserves more than a short

Good to know. However, whenever anyone says "Don't do this" in art, my caution level immediately spikes up. Especially when it goes into calling names territory. I like my butter notes sometimes, and sometimes I enjoy my cookie cutters. These are all tools to convey various feelings, imo

[marybanbog]

I love the sound, can you maybe give us an example of using this in a song? I think we’re a little lost on the context. You and Adam are awesome though!

I like to play butter notes, even if Miles Davis frowns upon those

[whoopwhoop]

So, what is he trying to convey? Use different inversions when moving up the piano? I still have no clue what cooky clutter is

[davidwinn]

Your pal Adam put out a great video about WHY we should use cookie cutter chords. You guys might want to get your brand message sorted out in the new year. ✌️

Reminds me of the piano solo from Naima

The way I think of it is, even while you're playing modally, you still want to imply an underlying mode with some variability of intervals. To try and give the simplest example I can think of, if you're playing a quartal stack, in a lot of positions that stack can be nothing but P4s. But when you want to suggest, for example, an F quartal stack in C Ionian, you COULD just do F Bb Eb, OR you could do F B E, to follow the mode rather than just moving the shape literally.

The cool thing about Jazz though is you get to mix-and-match, and divorce these relationships from their literal connection to a single mode that you're planted in. Once you know that a quartal stack with a tritone on the bottom is a working variant that suggests subdominant function, then you can employ that more arbitrarily, to suggest momentary key shifts or just to add color.

Amazing ! Thank you. Using this tomorrow!

It's so easy. Just learn the F#dim+7 3rd inversion and remember not cooking cut the chords. Think in terms of triads putting the 4ths at the diminished tonic instead of scaling the augmented 6ths with bass on J#.

Simple as that.

Would pull this vid if I was Open Studio

[RoiOfTheSuisse]

Maybe the most unclear video I've ever seen xD This is collector!

[leif]

BUT KEY QUESTION WHAT EXACTLY IS COOKIE CUTTER nktes how do you know whicj are which

[davidwhite]

So what are you saying, ascending and descending thirds between root form and second inversion chords?

First inversion, too?

[nomah]

As a guitarist, this video seems to be saying vary the chords by going in & out of the mode your song is in?
