3 Clutch Chords

Great idea!!

[@klevens5496]

Have you learned scales, triad chords, inversions, 7th chords, chord voicings??

[@SebastianLucumi-Music]

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.

[@pangeaproxima3681]

ok, ok....

[@williamhu9567]

i love this comment

[@musicfriendly12]

Melody and Harmony are almost the same thing, harmony is the result of melodic movement, or at least it should be in most contexts

[@williamhu9567]

@@musicfriendly12 melody is sorta harmony with rhythm, but often the underlying harmony is different from the melody's movement, no?

[@flickeringscreens]

That last progression is so beautiful

[@rich068]

It's so much easier seeing the keys and realizing the spacing between intervals of the 11 and flat 9. The keyboard litteraly is the road map to jazz

[@II-sk4cb]

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!

[@Poeme340]

Second chord sounds Scriabinesque-beautiful!👌

[@n.oneimportant5]

True! Also the 5 chord Vince Guaraldi plays at the head of "Christmas Time Is Here."

[@brian106699]

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 😢.

[@calebraysilcott9471]

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!

[@nicktomato7]

@@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

[@Wilkins325]

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

[@michaelgresham1980]

Make a note in your phone and practice the shapes and theory. Simple

[@wilkiedilkie]

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.

[@SilverTheFlame]

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

[@-petrichor-7263]

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.

Clutch indeed! Thanks

[@onesyphorus]

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

[@andy2069]

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.

A!! Very Nice and Calming Thank you!

[@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!!!

[@elsondeo]

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.

[@charlita25]

Wow great sounds 🎹

[@mrnnhnz]

I wonder if you can do something with my favourite Stravinsky chord? A regular major chord - but adding also a minor third and a flat 7.

[@benams]

Do you guys explain in your videos what the Barry Harris “method” is ? I’d love to learn more

[@adrianr3106]

I think there are lots of videos on by Barry Harris himself on KZbin 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).

[@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.

Try the Holdsworth version of the maj7: 7 - 3 - 1 -5 So, for Fmaj7, it’s (bottom to top) E A F C

[@lauracrimsonmusic]

So cool! Been learning piano for only 6 months now but apparently it's the instrument I was made for (I knew since I was 5, but got distracted with guitar and didn't start taking lessons until now, 33... 🥲) so this is super useful to level up. There are some bits here that I find totally doable and applicable to my playing after some practice, specially the first set and Barry Harris stuff. Thank you for this! I love it!

Hi @OpenStudioJazz would there need to normally need to be a third in the root 2 5 7 chord?

[@joedeadwildin7730]

🔥🔥

[@jeroenfigee]

Open question; what is the definition of a clutch chord? :-)

[@KiraPlaysGuitar]

The C7(add 13, #11, b9) sounds like the voicing for an opening of Misty, something with Ella on it, I swear.

[@jamiefairfax2476]

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.

[@jmc2179]

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...

[@_sirreginald]

Anyone else hearing Great Fairy Fountain in the Barry Harris section?

[@top3singermorales636]

Does a 13..11..9.have to have a dominant seven in it?

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! 😃

[@abrahamgb1]

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

[@andrea-mj9ce]

The chord played during the C7 Blabla is not #11 since a F note is played

[@MeaningFromData]

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?

[@BarrySPeas]

I've not seen mention of others yet, but certainly 3rds have been in nearly all the voicing related stuff!
