I'm Adamanus, and you're listening to the You'll Hear at podcast.

Music advice coming at you.

Today's episode is sponsored by Open Studio. Go to

Open Studiojazz.com to check out all of our piano courses. But check out our new magic

voicing system course that I just released a couple weeks ago. I think you'll dig it. It's become

incredibly popular already. And thanks to everybody who's checked it out and who's sent me feedback. I'm loving

all the feedback and the videos of people playing these cool voicings and all the melodic

things you can do with them. So go check that out. We'll put a link here in the description.

which is with that sort of

lochrean sharp 2, right? If we have a minor 251 in C minor, that starts with D half diminished,

Now, our D half diminished, we usually prescribe that D, Locrean, Sharp, too, right, based off of the

F melodic minor scale, starting on D, D, E, natural, F, G, A, flat, B, flat, C.
