    I’m so glad I found this video! I am a saxophone player and I write a lot for small and large jazz ensembles. Piano parts have always been a “mystery” to me but this is REALLY going to up my game when it comes to piano writing! Thank you so much!

    I have been playing a bunch of Beatles tunes recently and their music is just GREAT!! Even for jazzers, you gotta love it. Yes some of their tunes are basically 1,4,5, m6, but a lot of their tunes use 7th chords, sus chords, non diatonic progressions.....they were something else. I love how you cover the bases for all levels of Open Studio peeps. Thanks.

      april the Beatles for great melodies and slipping in a blues chord where you might least expect it.

    Best video on simple triad voicings. Thank you Adam

    13:41 One reason it's better to double the root, when the 3rd is your bass note, is that if you play the 3rd as the bass, and then double that note as well, people tend to assume it's the root of the chord.

  • @pianojones8136
    @pianojones8136 Před 4 lety

    Thank you, this is great! I wrote in inversion markings on your PDF and quickly realized the symmetry of this progression. (Ex1. Root, 1st, Root, 1st) etc. There are never more than two alternating inversions in the first six examples. This makes transposition much easier for me.

  • @kevinkilpatrick7510
    @kevinkilpatrick7510 Před rokem +1

    maybe this is point is coming after minute 13 but doing ONE approach for first four bars and a SECOND approach for second four bars = an endlessly pleasurable 8-bar (ridiculously loopable) techno progression :)

    I remember you guys talking about being careful with doubling notes when voicing richer harmonies. Is that something you don't need to worry about when voicing triads?

    • @BFHPET
      @BFHPET Před 2 lety

      can you explain to me i like to know

    • @ayoungethan
      @ayoungethan Před 2 lety

      doubling emphasizes the note. you can't play a triad in the right hand without doubling something in the bass. The root is the most commonly doubled note. You can just play double stops in your right hand if you want, but you'll get a less full sound. They say "play to the sound." So if you are playing piano for a very dense mix, it might make sense to just use double stops in your right hand. If the piano is the main accompaniment for the piece, though, to express the harmonic rhythm, maybe it makes more sense to have a fuller sound? It is always an artistic choice...basically what they say is "just be deliberate and thoughtful about it. You have options, use them." That goes with the opening skit -- moving forms and voicings around is an effect. It's not good or bad. But don't do it just because that's all you can do. It's like the voice leading equivalent of always playing soft or always playing loud. Learn some of the more subtle transitions. It gives you much greater expressiveness and allows you to explore more nuances in the song with voice leading.

    14:35 should there be a rule that says if you start playing Let it Be you have to finish at least the first cadence?

    I know this video tries to embrace the simplicity of pop harmony, but really, I think Adam just ended up proving that triads are boring 😆 Once the chord qualities start to get alerted, everything starts to breathe!

      @john.riddle Před 4 lety +1

      idk, bill evans uses triads to a great effect czcams.com/video/P0FIsFD9MXU/video.html more of those voicings than one thinks are actually triad voicings with really nice voice leading
