Welcome to the You'll Hear at podcast. My name is Adam Manus going solo today because I've got a really, really cool nuts and bolts concept for making chords. I've

been working on this system over at the daily guided practice session. I know a lot of you might

be over there on the daily guided practice session. If you're a piano access pass member,

if you're a piano guided practice member at open studio jazz.com, You have access to our daily guided practice sessions,

either on the app or on the website or we even do it live on Zoom. I'm practicing with you every

day. If you're not, you can head over to open studio jazz.com. There's so many affordable

options to get in on this daily got to practice session, and it's super popular and fun.

It's just really good motivation to keep working every day.

Anyway, so for the last several weeks, we've been working on this voicing system.

I've kind of come around to calling it the magic chord system or the magic voice.

It's going to be something magical because it is kind of

it a little bit. I found a book or two, and I found some videos that talk a

little bit about it, but it's really not that fleshed out as far as, like, the general jazz populace.

So, uh, you might know about this already, but you might not. And if you don't, I hope this

is eye-opening, because it sure was for me. This is a simple way to voice chords using a pentatonic scale.

And this is great if you're a piano player, obviously, but even if you're a guitar player or

a horn player that is interested in knowing how harmony is built, this system is so super cool

because it is a system. And it makes a lot of logical sense and you can apply it in various

ways. So, okay, what is it? So like I said, it's based off of a pentatonic scale. So if we're in the

key of B flat, right, the B flat major pentatonic, starting on B flat is a five note scale,
