One Of the Best Channels for anything Music, Yes Sir:)
Love the idea of stable 4 scale degrees. Then going modes and parallel on everything but the first. Thanks for that info
Erik Satie introduced for 135 years his Gnossienne, there Debussy found his inspiration in Dorian, Aeolian, Phrygian scales of ancient Greeks, in XX-th century Miles Davis, Herb Hancock where improvising in Minor Triads of ancients, nothing new under the Moon.
i like this lesson so much. And wow, how to get that bass tone? can share some details?
this video is great except that the voicing for every chord is just conveniently invisible ????
Mind is blown right now bro! Thanks to you and brother Google….I figured out how we build the modal scales!! Appreciate you my friend!
Thank you.
This is exactly what I want to learn- Progressions with chord and melody interspersed.
That camera guy moves so quickly. One momeny you're talking to me, next there's some person off to my left you're talking to.

what the
Radiohead’s *“everything in its right place” is just spooky hall&Oates?
*oops
Holy shit – by far the best explanation on model interchange I’ve ever heard you’ve just unlocked so much for me, I can’t thank you enough
Sounds like others have had same experience. Penny drop kind of moment.
So are you in a way, playing an 8 note scale but one of the notes can only be played in the first bar, and another can only be played in the other three bars? As far as where bass and lead instruments can go?
I enjoyed this. So my question then is could I substitute the tonic C with its relative minor – Am and keep using these modal interchanges of the cush chords? I guess I dont see a major reason why not other than the vocal melody
That's so much knowledge and so much fun! Thank you for sharing! ????????????

Funny. I can't go for that either!
I thought you were going to say: We called them CUSH chords, because you PUSH everything but the C!
You guys are terrific. Expert players and effective teachers. You communicate clearly and patiently. You're instructive without being pedantic. Can't get enough. Thank you.
Please do a video on how to actually voice chords the way that you do. Thank you for your work
9:15 "What if we swapped it out to C phrygian?"
bass player visibly loves it hahah and I felt the same
Long time teacher and composer…love your videos . The C maj to Cphyrgian ex. Is my fave. Very Thomas Newman.
This all i play anyway just did not know they were called cush chords
your drummer is sick
Bob Deboo is such a sweet boy ????
You never fail to make me laugh Adam. Thanks for these brilliant videos. They are very inspiring and full of a huge amount practical ideas, that are slowly (very slowly) making me a better player. Much appreciated!
Listen to Led Zeppelin – 10 ribs and all carrot pod
And example right there!
Cooking something in that piano
I want to hear this guy's recordings!
Amazing! I may not understand the depths of it, but it's a good direction for experimentation!
Darren from Phantom Planet sent me here, this is awesome????❤
Fantastic video. Inspired to try out new ideas!
It is NOT "diminished chords". Dinminished chord does not exist, it is a chord with 7° bb ( and 3°b and 5°b)
Diminished means 7° bb.
For exemple , in C:
– natural 7° is B , the chord CM7
– minor 7° is Bb , the chord is C7
– Cm7 has 3° min and 7° min
– Cm7b5 has 3° min and 7° min
– in a C7dim, the diminished 7° is used with third and 7° minor
so we have a Cm5b7bb , and the notes are C-Eb-Gb-Bbb (or A)
Jamey Abersold invented the "half diminish chord" , that have no sense. And he wrote Dm when we have Dm7 in C, so made a confusion between major and minor modes; the guy who didn't understant anything about harmony.
Every composition video should be half-rapped over the technique being demonstrated ????????????
Don't like how none of the Major 7 chords are notated. Great video otherwise
This is great!!
Is there a reason you only seem to do with the minor modes and never with lydian or mixolydian?
So would you just focus hitting triads and chord tones or would you play modal over all the chords? Or both? Haha
I wish I could reach 10th! 9th max when stretching is not the same
Lost me in the magic and love around 6:37
Caleb and Bob make this video so much better. It's cool learning from a band instead of a jam track 🙂
This video is exactly what I've wanted to help my songwriting. You explained it perfectly! Thank you!
Can we demo in other keys than C MAJOR PLEASE
great lesson ! Can you do the same starting from C phrygian for example and replace other chords ? Or does it have to start from the ionian mode to do the thing ?
We NEED a video on how to voice chords as beautifully as you do. Knowing the chord progressions alone is not the same as playing them with beautiful voicings
One word. Just superb.

Very cool stuff, guys! Thank you!
Bass player throwing down the sauciest basslines in the background while my head is exploding about the possibilities this modal interchange game opens.
Nice, but as an arranger, how can I apply these principles to a jazz standard?
Tried to like this video at least 10 times. Great stuff here
Thank you!
Helping to open choral doors!????????????????
Simple but a very valuable lesson. Thank you.
