I never really intentionally made jazz till I found you last week. I made a song thats totally out there for me, and I'm really grateful to you for opening my musical world more. Thanks Adam and everyone at Open Studio.

This is amazing, I play piano for my church and literally just played a song that has a cadential 6-4!! It's called, "Wonderful Grace of Jesus" by Haldor Lillenas, made in 1918. It has a sequence where it goes " C | C7 | F | F#°7 | C/G | Ab7 | C/G | G7 | C" and the song ends with, "C | C7 | F | F#°7 | C/G | C/Bb | F/A | Fm6/Ab | C/G | G7 | C" one of my favorite songs to play, and now I know why it's so good!! Thank you!

I like the fact that Open studio can play anything meaning you can cross genres without even thinking about it.

[@sigmawaveproductions]

Very interesting video about getting to 6-4! I was still 5’6 at the end of the video, but very educational and know a lot more about jazz now. (All seriousness, loved the vid!)

I’m in St. Louis, too. Tower Grove park is beautiful.❤

Brooklyn in the house 1942 now in Woodstock, New York Catskill mountains, forest preserve love the videos especially those little short ones so many great voice things from that and ideas you know using Pentatonix and some more exotic scales as well as that. Thank you Adam.

[@brankokoprivica8465]

A flat over G flat is, actually, based on the f sharp and in classical music is treated as a double dimished markt as a -VIID. It can lead to D or K 6/4 ...

That walk up was beautiful!!

[@NickMarshallMusic]

The Cmaj7/E voiced E C in LH and BCG in right. Is one of my favourite, famous in And So It goes by Billy Joel

a few hours southwest of you in springfield - thanks for the videos, they're great!

[@TheRubicon515]

This was my first guided practice session and I will definitely be joining for more in the future. Great idea for a stream! I do have a question: why did you use the F6 dim scale instead of C6? Can you use both? What other ones can you use? I know you've touched on this in other videos, but an idea for future guided practice videos could be walking through the various scale types appropriate for specific chord types? Thank you for the high quality content! I love Open Studio!

[@DMelloooo]

Loving ALL OF THIS and the open studio site too! Question, are these videos also on the site for Open Studio classes as a part or are these extras you do? On Day 3 with OS (holy cow I am having so much fun and learning again!) If these are outside of the awesome classes even better. If they are part of a cours on OS, would love to know which ones the shorts YT FB and IG come out of. So far started Genius Chords and the beginner Jazz piano courses

[@kostasjazz]

Fantastic

[@realizbac4624]

Those 8 note scales are also my favorite

More proof that the bVI is the most interesting non-diatonic note in a major key. 😁

[@jonathanstewart5269]

I have so many questions! Sorry. Would you ever think about the E dim as C7/E? Same question for the B flat diminished.

[@Jazzmaster58]

When will you talk about Jaki Byard ?

[@alejandroabellanabarriga2451]

[@liseclairet7006]

How do you select the correct inversion so quickly as to create decent voice leading?

[@janjablonsky]

When you diminish one of those simple B flats, you're in jazz heaven. Never A to G flat. The scales will lead you back every single time.

[@jonathanstewart5269]

Why did your G/B always sound like some kind of sus chord when you were exploring the diatonic walk down? Am I crazy? Also, how would you think about an A flat/G sharp over the F# diminished in your chromatic walk up? Obviously it’s just a 9 on top, but I don’t hear people talk about 9’s on diminished chords very often.

Sorry, one more. Did the Neapolitan 6 move to a cadential 6-4 “back in the day”?

[@ili626]

I’ve been doing the Neapolitan without even realizing it
