Hey, Peter.

Yes.

How's your core?

Oh, it's good.

Strong.

Been doing a lot of yoga lately.

I've got four cores, actually.

I'm Adam Manus. And I'm Peter Martin. You're listening to the You'll Here at Podcast. Daily Jazz Advice coming at you. You're saying you got a four pack? Is that what you're saying? I got a four pack. Yeah. I'm working on a six pack and then an eight pack. What's the total pack? I've seen like eight, I think. Yeah, yeah. We're going to be there.

Not in person.

Never in person.

So today we're talking about our four core principles. Before we do, though, let's mention our sponsor. This one's sponsor is the great sound slice. It's one of my four principles. It's my number one principle. Soundslice. We use SoundSlice every day at the You'll Hear It Podcast and Open Studio.

It's an incredible tool for transcribing and for linking up that transcription with videos. There's a great community where people have transcribed masters like Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock. But Powell and anybody you could think of. West Montgomery. Go check it out. A lot of great stuff. Very useful tool. Thank you to SoundSlice. SoundSlice.com. So today we are talking about sit-ups. No, we are talking about four core principles for learning jazz. Yes. Piano. Well, yeah, or any jazz. Or any jazz. But specifically here, piano, because we're talking about a brand new course that got released like today today if we timed this out correctly it's happening today

it's called jazz piano jumpstart it's for uh the novice jazz pianist right the neophyte the neophyte

and it's really a course designed to sort of get them uh we said like couch to the band stand couch the stage exactly yeah yeah

which might be overshooting it a little bit well no overshooting it would he say they go from couch to

5k with this program because this has nothing to do with running but well what I wanted to call it

what I wanted to say was seven weeks to jazz mastery but our our lawyers said we could not say that because... That's impossible. No, no, but this will really get you to where you're starting to hear jazz. You can play a little bit. You're ready for jazz piano for beginners, for example, another course that we have. But if you have just the most basic of piano skills, we think we might have hit on something fun and nice. And it's very guided. You know, like we're kind of holding your hands, both of us. We have actually one of the features of the course is guided practice routines where I will practice with you and tell you exactly what to practice to get you up. How are you going to go to all those people's houses? I'm not. It's a video, man. Okay. But anyway, go check it out. We're going to put the link to the page there for jazz piano jumpstart.

Go check it out.

But what we're talking about today is the four core principles that you and I came up with for this course. Yeah. And we thought they were so compelling, so ridiculously brilliant. We didn't think they were so compelling.

They are so compelling.

Come on, man.

That we decided to do a whole episode on them.
