Yooo but that transition is so smooth at the end to beginning

[@twangbarfly]

Brilliant!!!!

[@jakekeys88music]

I think maybe they recorded it all as one and just clipper precisely where they wanted to have the start and finish.

[@jakekeys88music]

I see what they did now! So it really begins with "We start with a basic chord..." because you can see the cut there. Then he went through the whole thing, reading the close into the intro.

[@fanfoire]

That's not a warmup, that the whole training program!

It was Autumn Leaves and then he took us on all four seasons worth of leaves. Great theory knowledge on display here.

[@RayfieldA]

How many others had to let this loop a few times because it sounds so good? It went from simple to Earth, Wind & Fire! 😅❤️

[@musicncmx5303]

Listened to it like a million times on repeat especially when he start hitting them extensions

[@itsabovemenow1016]

My piano arrives today. I can’t wait to try these marvelous chords in your videos. I played years ago, I’m about to retire, I now have time for this.

[@RoneySmithseedoflife]

I second any motions requesting a longer video and PDFs! This is AMAZING!

[@alamolalamol9426]

It's the extensions - the voicings for the tritone subs and extensions are just so beautiful...

[@al201103]

Ok, so the content is lovely, but DAMN that loop point is impeccable!!

[@itsjudystube]

I love these progressions

[@leesean]

I love how this guys drops an entire piano lesson in 60 secs or less, even though it will take me months to master what he just showed in that one minute

[@michaelweymouth4015]

I have played by ear over 50 years. But I love all your transitions, substitutions added bass notes etc. I see all the chords scrolling across the page. Do you have practice sheets of all these “warm ups” I can see how practical practicing them in very key will make it easy to fill them on plain sheet music and key transpositions and stuff. I just subscribed as you guys are the first that’s making sense and showing your theory instead of talking about it. What a blessing you men are. I started out on bass because I quit piano lessons because it was too boring as a 2nd grader. Man I would have paid attention to youse guys. Thank you

[@salcrocker894]

Killin’!!! The tri-tones always take my heart! I’m a tenor player, who is fairly well versed on piano and you have given me some more stuff to work on!!!

[@FMateoVela]

This is like an extremely hot pepper.. when used by itself, it is too much for the average person to experience; when used in just the right amount, it makes for the perfect experience. 🎶

[@FMateoVela]

@AlejandroGjezi-jm9gf that’s exactly where I got it from! He’s an awesome musician and I use some of his advice in my teachings.

The first run (the "Classic sound") evokes a choral prelude by Bach.

Yep I was thinking of that too

[@jeanlucchapelon]

BACH is the MAESTRO !! Before all the others great composers… They all learn from him ! That’s what Schumann was saying…

Everything you play sounds so darn good. Maybe I'm just easily impressed. Now I wanna learn how to play.

[@TommysPiano]

Very nice. You make it sound so easy. Keep teaching. Some of us who are watching have minimal training, despite years of playing.❤❤

[@jeanlucchapelon]

Excellent Thanks you for your generosity 🙏

I tilt my head like a dog's when piano chords go thru their voicings. Thank God for the piano and good teachers.

Ah yes, the famous Moo chord. As made famous by Steely Dan in their song "Black Cow"

very instructive, i know all the theory for thisbut ima try it, your videos are great! thanks~

[@noahanderson8688]

I never know what to play in the bass when I start adding extensions and inversions to my chords

[@SpitfireRoad]

I use the 3rd if you have a bass player.

[@Ruigi01]

​@@SpitfireRoadSo have the bass player play the root and pianist play the third?

[@SpitfireRoad]

@@Ruigi01 If comping on keys the convention is to use a drop 2,3,4 voicing that best supports the melody without stepping on the bass. Comping is a tough road and I still pretty much suck at it.

[@Ruigi01]

@@SpitfireRoad Thanks for the help, I'm a very new 'self-taught' bassist and jazz arranger and I appreciate you sharing your knowledge.

[@SpitfireRoad]

@@Ruigi01 My pleasure. Learning to play jazz is a life long task. Start with root tones in the bass. Alternate between the 1 and 5 of each chord. E.g. for a C chord you'd play a C then G. For B, you'd play B and E, etc. This 1-5 motion works well. Aside, a great resource is youtuber, Rick Beato.

[@moehoward21]

Hey guitar player here new to jazz, love the content and tend to find that piano players (and the piano itself) really help visualizing music theory better than someone on guitar. So I’ve been taking exercises like this and applying it to guitar. My question is, I often hear jazz musicians say “play music not exercises” because simply working scales or chord exercises aren’t music. How do you take things through all twelve keys on the piano and still have enough practice time? I find that when I try to do something in all twelve keys, it takes at least 20-30 minutes on guitar. This means if I try to practice several things in 12 keys as most people recommend, it takes up half or more of my practice time just for exercises. Have you run into a similar problem and if so how do you approach it?

[@seancullen8142]

May not be the answer you're looking for, but in my opinion, practicing in all 12 keys on the guitar is somewhat pointless exercise because the scale shaped are all the same no matter which key you're in. Maybe it would be better to just practice the exercises on keys that start on different strings. Maybe take C maj on the E string, D maj on the A string and F on the D string for example? Then you'll have to find different chord shapes to play and explore different parts of the neck. Hope this helps!

[@el_hd6718]

The "Classic" and the "Modern" one sound really good. Everything after that is a bit too much for me, you can't really hear the original chord anymore.

[@Thrillhoju]

It also sounds like Elton's Funeral for a Friend

[@AndreyRubtsovRU]

Did the subs really say "open studio moo"? 😂😂

[@Hexspa]

It's like a Steely Dan Mu only in this case he's playing the first inversion and the Root and M2 as a major second. Steely Dan puts the M2 and M3 chord intervals as a major second and probably in root position. Mu: 1-(2-3)-5-1 or maybe 5-(2-3)-6 Moo:3-5-(1-2)-5 or 5-(1-2)-6-1-3
