    THAT is the very best twenty minutes of vocational jazz piano instruction I’ve ever seen. So incredibly simple and so perfectly explained. Quartels have always been fleeting, passing moves for me. This tutorial gives me something to latch onto, to put me into the throws of something broader, ultimately giving birth to both new voice and new rhythm! A watershed moment here and I thank you!!!!

      Well I had to watch it several times and stop it occasionally to make notes. This is now part of my regular practice routines! ❤️

      This is what I consider brilliant educational instruction. He’s always gonna make me work, but with loads of energy, inspiration, and value. That’s Peter Martin. Thanks, brother!

      Wow! Now I hear it and understand it! When he said he wasn’t really playing “out” but it sounds like it while sticking to the minor pentatonic I was like 🤯🤯

    At last - Some detailed left-hand "McCoy Tyner" voicings! I've been practicing, last three days, Peter Martin's 60 second short on Pentatonics (Open Studio) and had started cracking the left hand movements by repeated viewings; but now here it is, all precisely laid out. Everything in this video works with the Eb (or C-) Pent scale, making this the perfect foundation for study in all keys. Thank you Peter!

      Same exact experience as you (as a guitar player). I could hear it but had no idea what was happening. This was awesome.

    • @beeson5450
      @beeson5450 ปีที่แล้ว

      Man, I know the feeling, this kind of stuff is like magic from another realm as a guitar player. We have an advantage that we can bend, trill and slur to taste but the voicing and substitution aspect is a challenge.

    • @santibanks
      @santibanks 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      But the nice thing is that these chords come so easy to the guitar as tuning of at least the bottom 4 strings are fourths (or well, if you use a standard tuning that is). The regular quartal voicings can be done with just one finger on those strings. When using the D-string as the starting point it's either 2 fingers (incorporating the B-string) or just three (using the E-string). The crunchy derivatives are not difficult either.

    Wow this video makes me feel so light and hopeful. I have been breaking my head for years trying to understand that “sound”, that modern jazz piano hip sound. Now after watching this, so many things have come to my comprehension. Can’t thank Peter and open studios enough for this content!

    • @teeteejay
      @teeteejay 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      My theory of how these alterations come to be is that they are highlighting Gb7 and its chord scale Gb mixolydian. It doesn't matter if you play C or Cb because C would imply Gb lydian scale

  • @CharlesAustin
    @CharlesAustin ปีที่แล้ว +13

    Hip insider stuff !! Thanks a lot !! All the “crunchy” 4ths appear to act as the original 4ths dominant. So functional and cool. A whole world of possibilities opens !! Great inspiring playing there..!!

    • @rubenski_415
      @rubenski_415 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Yup, it's great because they are the same voicings as the shell for the #9 chord (a lot of them), and since the #9 is in both that chord and the scale of the tonal center, it makes total sense as a sub. So logical while deriving something still inspired-sounding, creative and hip! Which I think are the cross streets jazz lives at

    • @garfd2
      @garfd2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Like Db-G-C is a rootless Eb7(13) which is a sibling of C7b9, and even that C dominant sound gets along with Cmin/Ebmaj pentatonic, because Eb is a blue note to C.

  • @fingerstyling
    @fingerstyling ปีที่แล้ว +11

    Well that is cool. The newly included non - diatonic notes (C# E F# G# B) spell a C#- pentatonic scale which, being up a semitone, account for the chord's 'crunch'.

    • @JeffCogswell
      @JeffCogswell ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Good observation!!

    • @spareplanet
      @spareplanet ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Good observation!
      I think that may relate to why he made “crunchies” only on select positions (the 2, 4, 5 and 6 I think it was)

    • @sheilamacdougal4874
      @sheilamacdougal4874 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Accounting for the crunch isn't the problem. Accounting for why they should be played with C minor pentatonic IS.

    • @teeteejay
      @teeteejay 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      They're also implying the c altered scale (except B which implies c harmonic minor scale)

    Great great video! simple and straight to the point and that's a beautiful way to use those 4th's sonorities. So simple yet sounds excellent, even just this without playing or changing the positions and voicings of the quartal chords.
    Thanks very much for sharing

  • @Jamster365

    That was great, Peter. Great lesson on the inside quartals. Meaty and crunchy. What I'd love to see next from you is the same lesson but for the eyes-rolling-back-in-the-head outside quartals, -the insane McCoy stuff. I knew there was a structure to the inside quartals, but is there a similar theoretical framework for the eye-rolling demonic possession outside quartals that you can make sense of?

    I think of these as rootless hendrix chords, or sharp 9 chords. But I like how you show the relation to the quartal diatonic voicings as alterations.
    For the A D G variant, why do you move the D to C# instead of keeping it at D and just lowering A to G#?
