[@RayfieldA]

God, I love how great you two play and teach!! So good to watch this while inside. Thank you, guys.

[@craigmays3098]

I'm not new to jazz youtube, but I am fairly new to you gentlemen. As a jazz pianist, this channel feels like it was made just for me and I love it. Thank you so much for the quality content!

[@BWAVQ]

What's Up Adam and Peter? Thanks for the Lesson!

[@amyga251]

The name Open Studio is perfect - these videos unlock doors like nothing else I've ever seen. I have shelves full of books that just left me defeated. Now already I'm starting to hear and think about music the way I've always wanted.

[@a.dejesus792]

I must say you guys compliment each other very well. I have been learning a lot from your vids. Thanks guys. Big fan. Great pianists, great technique. Great chops.

[@leandrusi4533]

Amazing as always, thank u guys! Keep the good work we appreciate it!

[@hunghoangmusic]

Love this ❤️, so informative and compact, easy to understand. Thank you 🙏

[@nicolassayada9982]

Wow! No, you guys are like Goldilocks! Just right! I’m a classical guy and I’m really sort of just beginning to explore jazz. I love that I realized that the tritone substitution is sort of like the augmented six chords in classical music that go to the dominant! I loved your videos on triad pairs and your video on the 6th diminished scale was one of the best if not thee best I’ve watched. I heard it, thanks! Keep it up!

[@AriHoenig]

Great stuff! Very useful. Thank you.

[@pennymacsinger]

Just discovered you guys. Happily liked and subscribed and am enjoying the tutorial. Thanks!

[@tijanireiziger]

Thank you so much. Useful info.

[@SuperDenon]

Nice episode Guys!!! I really love you guys

[@gabrielmirandamartinez8451]

Great!! Thanks a lot!!

[@HawkMcDork]

you guys are fantastic

[@mybiggrin]

Beautiful options thank you! I would argue that the Ab chord in the sequence at 12:27 is actually a G altered with a b9 in the bass bc if it was from the diminished scale, a D would be used in the upper structure, and not the Db in combination with the Eb simultaneously.

[@chriswintrip5749]

You guys rock

[@ementalerlynx4727]

Fantastic!

[@luoshengying]

Astonishing!

[@seongomez4903]

This content is so nerdy. its great

[@skyberlux8110]

12:14 that's actually an Ab minor major 13 and without altered extensions. So cool :o

[@TheNcmore]

Adam (guy in hat) is a dead ringer for Olympic downhill ski racer Bode Miller, and not just in looks, but his vocal tone and mannerisms are eerily similar. Are you sure you aren't really Bode Miller doing music gigs under a pseudonym now that you're retired from ski racing? Anyhow, very interesting podcast Bod...um, Adam :=)

[@AntKneeLeafEllipse]

Doppio. Love this chord work! I'd actually never heard of the biii dim for the V before. I'm always looking for more substitution stuff!!

[@sevenskymusic9721]

COME HERE OFTEN?! XD Subs are life

[@AntKneeLeafEllipse]

@@sevenskymusic9721 you have no idea haha. I live on this channel. MOAR SUBS

[@nicscott8560]

Can you all please do a podcast on learning and breaking down tunes?

[@kennethdaniels8313]

Love the Blues hat.. StL in the house!

[@OneRequiem123]

Great vid

[@patbreacadh]

Any transcription available for these? Even shorthand chord symbols would be helpful.

[@luciofondon1104]

0:09 sounds just like a part from the intro in Josie from Steely Dan!!

[@robertoruiz5759]

I have a question i can use f# and E on the left band and f#,C and F inr right band? I use it and it sounds nice for me

[@kholwankambule7545]

Thanks for the informative lesson guys👏🏼! What’s the song at 0:58, Peter?

[@Dprest-nd4yc]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWfakpl8n6uXj9U if I were a bell, miles

[@davidsharp6745]

What keyboards are you using?

[@alboumcinen5623]

8:40 for improvising I like to do this Kinda stuff: *does crazy line* I'm like hm okay, When Can I do that :D

[@alboumcinen5623]

Btw Great video! You give me really challenging things to work on!

[@xppws]

How does the chord in the example at 4:40 work? I understand the C7(13), it will lead you to the I (F) but I didn't catch the chord he shows after that. From what I got, he sumperimposed the C7 and the F#7, but where's the C from the C7 chord?

[@tonylancer7367]

So he played the same chord, the C13, but on his left hand he "moved" to the F#, keeping the C13 chord in his right hand. So he "loses" the C in the left and moves it to an F#.

[@leo.israel]

i fuckin love you guys

[@brendaboykin3281]

Thanx Gentlemen.

[@trompodearrachera1284]

11:56

[@WesleyRoyer]

At 9:30 you guys mention "High Ridge" what is that? A song or band?

[@maltebechtold6488]

It seems to be a turnaround that Peter and Adam use on a band they both play with. Adam explains it on one of the guided practice sessions last week

[@maltebechtold6488]

the second one with the drop 2 voicings

[@WesleyRoyer]

Ah thank you!

[@moffatbanda6001]

like these jazz guys , remind me of' you go to my head jazz great, why dont you take time to analyse some jazz great pieces chord progression also'.......

[@aidanwalsh5749]

yes! please do this guys

[@fiklonz]

SLOW IT DOOOOWN!!!:) for my italian ears is a nightmare to try to follow you up translating and "UNDERSTANDING" simoultaniously the amount of knlowledge that you guys are so lovely sharing!!! Thanks a lot from my personal quarantine!

[@DanielBoonelight]

part of it is that you can press pause any time you want. can back up and analyze anything. the vid would be too long and laborious if slowed down, especially when you can literally slow it down.

[@fiklonz]

@@DanielBoonelight thank you very much for helping me out Man, i was trying to do some hirony though !!! I appreciated :))

[@juwonnnnn]

👍

[@solenelle]

At 8:00, why are you calling FmM7,9b5 a diminished chord?

[@djreball9453]

It's a diminished major7 chord with a 9. You wouldn't call it a mM7 because the diminished triad on the bottom is the bulk of whats happening harmonically. Also theres no minor7, so you don't get that mM7 sound.

[@solenelle]

@@djreball9453 A mM7 chord would have a minor 3rd and a major 7th intervals above the root. (F, Ab and E in this case) There wouldn't be a minor7th interval above the root in a mM7 chord. The bottom 3 notes F, Ab and Cb form a diminished chord yes and top two notes can very well be called suspensions. I agree with all of that but with E and G on top, it sounds more minor than diminished. Unlike the next example at 9:37 which actually sounds diminished. All just personal opinion of course.

[@gonzalodossantos3176]

Yo dawg tritone substitution

[@theteetones]

Ha. You said it would be easy. Just kidding. Was able to follow most of it. It’s just the crazy voicing that throws me. Good thing I can always rewind if I missed it lol.

[@ThePurpelephant]

Way to hard, I mean easy, I mean thank you!

Hey Guys! You're both terrfic players...Everyone knows that! But now let's cut the crap, When are you guys doing a real piano battle, for instance on moment's notice or the fifth House to really settle things nice and smooth???

[@Monomorphismus]

17 minuets of blah when you can compress it to 5.

[@markbra]

The guy on the right talks with a lot of double meanings. Very suspicious

[@martinhildebrandt1784]

nor it's not too easy neather it's too complicated - it's too narcistic

[@DanielBoonelight]

how so? please state specific examples.
