Recently saw a great quote to the effect of "You rarely get full clarity in planning. Clarity comes with doing."
this hit really hard for me. i feel like i’ve gotten so sucked into the daily routine of just going to work and viewing home as simply an escape from work that i feel like i’ve stopped living a musical life. it used to be so much easier to get inspired when i was younger and in college and music was around me all the time by default. thanks for continuing to inspire us guys.
This year I set up my ‘daily minimum’ of 1 hour of practice, and it’s been going so great. Just 1 hour every day, and I love it.
I'm in the middle of working my way up to 3 hours a day, starting with an hour. when that's routine increasing it to two hours, when that's routine increasing to 3. curious to see if i can make it work
You can never go wrong with playing, practicing or listening to Bach. At least that is my experience.
I’m working on your “5 chords everyone plays” lesson and the “working in fourths” method is so helpful. All the notes are right there for me only introducing one new note at a time, different voices a fourth a apart share the left hand voicing when using different voicing, and they fit with their own relative minor. It’s blowing me away all the things unlocked working in fourths. Like the idea that A-E in the left hand can have the DGB and be E minor in its own, or CMaj7 with a C in bass OR an F Maj7 slightly different voicing with an F in bass and moving just the B to C. Like wow
Riffing on what Adam mentioned, I totally agree it can be helpful to approach your practice session not as "practicing piano," but as "practicing effective practice." Not putting stakes on the individual exercises and outcomes, but concentrating on staying focused, having a gameplan and covering everything you want. So a "successful practice session" means you practiced effectively to the best of your ability, "results" be damned. That creates an emotional buffer which I feel reduces frustration and actually gets better results
Well put
Yeah Intro Jam!
I loves the blues at the start. Im finding that finding my way back to enjoying jazz again from is blues.
So many great points in this discussion! As a drummer/guitarist/vocalist, I can really relate to every aspect you both hit on as I strive to become a better musician myself. Thank you for such valuable insight!
Great way to put it. I was (still am) a guitar player before I started the piano and the balance between the actual practice while learning songs and how it's actually used in context is crucial. Ive been trying to do my same kind of ideal practice routine on the piano and it's really helping. But also thank you open studio for going above and beyond for us. It's changing my life musically and overall for the better and I so much enjoy these videos. Thank you. -Alex
Loving the lifestyle approach to music, this is our life and pursuit, we pursue music, and if you aren't actively doing that, what are you doing to make music apart of your daily life? I love that emphasis on the music, it really is the grounded truth of all this nonsense we do when we practice, to eventually play better or play something or hear or conceive of sound in new ways. You don't get to do that if the music isn't apart of your daily life and sitting with your instrument. It's a lifestyle, not a choice.
Pedantry moment: Wynton Kelly died in 1971, which was shortly after Peter was born, not years before. But yeah, that doesn't change the point: A 1-year-old Peter Martin was not going to seek out Wynton Kelly for mentorship or lessons.
Legend has it, he did, little one year old knockin on Kelly’s door, seeking the blues.
thanks so much for the video guys. I’ve let the overwhelming feeling of what to practice stunt my playing for years at a time, and I really appreciate your words of wisdom.
I like the holistic approach, their advice doesn't lead into "Which we have at our course that is for sale". The channel "learn jazz standards" is good at that, every advice ends up with him plugging his own course
Amazing episode , thank you Peter and Adam ! Taking the time to figure out how you want to sound like, and choosing the right inspiration (your own taste) that will help you get there, is the most important thing ! And yes, it's not a competition, it should be all love !
I'd be that guy who is all about George Winston. I want to sound like Keith Jarrett's Koln Concert.
These intros are getting tasty! When is the first Intro Jam album going to be released? Guys gimme the goods come on!
As usual, another home run, gentleman. Thanks for talking about that which many others do not.
I want to play like Hank Jones. 🎹
No matter, i keep going back to Triad Pairs, Block Chords made Easy, and the Magic Voicings. Applying these to my production routine sky rocketed my progression.
From quintet Arrangements to One Shot samples creation. I keep it like the 20min guided practice sessions, chromatic warm up. Then pivot modes.
The Pareto Principle was named after Vilfredo Pareto, Italian sociologist, economist and professor who in 1906 had observed that 80% of the land in a part of Italy was owned by 20% of the people.
American management consultant Julian Juran later applied that 80/20 rule to quality control and improvement, which really directly applies to Michael's question.
Pareto? More like paredoh
They DO answer specifically at 27:27. But that answer is elaborated upon throughout the video, so, watch the rest of it, too.
Thank you guys
It’s so easy to get overwhelmed! Throw a dart at the wall and draw a target around it… Bullseye! (Brian Eno) I start by playing whatever comes to my head Sometimes it’s preconceived like a song I heard Sometimes it’s just stuff I heard after the previous chord It’s not good, it’s junk just for me Then I go to work on learning stuff. And at my level of proficiency of piano, I couldn’t deliver coffee for these guys!
Wow this is an outstanding video. Thank you
Im studying Jazz KeyboardHarmony & Voicings. The book goes on Forever. BUUUUUUT! Im now into it REPITITION,REPITITION .. It does work Geting more LUSH,FULL,ECT Loving it 💪💯👍
Love the MonoNeon reference, that guy really does live music
Yooo, I’m also looking forward to that Mozart episode that I’ve just purposely twisted into a promise from Peter! 😅 (please make that happen, enquiring minds need to know). I’m sure that’s gonna be fire!! 🔥💖🔥💖
Excellent. Thank you.
I've been inspired by one of the recent pods where Adam said "Trying playing your favorite standard in the key of B, or E." Boy am I mad at you for that one ! LOL just kidding of course. However, although it is quite hard to do - it is well worth the effort. It just OPENS up your mind.
Adam melted my face off at 1.35
More about that Mozart principle, please!
Great advice in this one!
I. Needed this thanks guys
The "how" is ALWAYS more important than the "what"....
Kenny Werner says "Don't focus on your progress... instead, examine your process."
Great and helpful video.
Here’s a question: if someone wants to start participating in jams sessions, what are the (let’s say top 12) songs you show know if you go to a jam session?

Some tutors really cover too much stuff at once. Particularly with guitar. One thing at a time for the win !!!
Nahp dahp an Scooby bop you'll hear it!. The new jingle
Exactly what I thought when I heard that lol
I corageistly stock my fredge with no beer... pounds of cheese, tho.
Beer? I have a drinks holder on my music stand.
A beer glass can also be balanced on a piano though beware: there's a reason why Legion hall pianos smell that way. 😮
☕️🎹
Shout out to Nate,the 80/20 Drummer. Shout out to George Winston, he is also an expert on Hawaiian slack key guitar😎🤙
Learn to work the [insert instrument here], play just what you feel, (but try not to die behind the wheel - maybe?) LOL
lenin reference in the thumbnail?
Can you practice the wrong thing? - yeah. ❤
🙏
Peter Martin used to
be a rock climber?!
damn jerry seinfeld can really rip
Practice LISTENING

An F Blues?
Rock climbing? Really! 😂
Practice Consistency, Listening, Patience.
Practice the hard stuff. The easy stuff is just playing around.
Practice hard but don’t make it easy. Get a life.
"Define and refine" Voila 🤌
