Should we get to some questions?

Let's do it.

All right.

So Zach up at the top near the top, Peter, has a great question.

Peter and Adam, I know you are sophisticated jazz guys,

but any tips for voicings when playing more basic rock and pop tunes?

So, yeah, Zach, I actually flirted with even doing like a pop piano course a few months ago.

There's a YouTube video that I did with some basic...

Blockbuster YouTube video.

Well, it didn't, it's not, I mean, we're a jazz company for sure. But I stand by that video, though. That's right. It's a cool... It's a good info on that. Concepts I love creating some beautiful pop voicings, like using simpler chords. So, Zach, the place to start on this is knowing the difference between closed voicings

and open voicing.

Yeah. Right? So start with four note voicings. That means you'll do a triad with one of the notes repeated. Here's our C triad. C, E, G, C. This is a closed voicing in that everything is within the octave, right? C, E, G, C. so if we take this same voicing and we just take the right hand up

c within the octave, right? C, E, G, C. So if we take this same voicing and we just take the right hand up,

C, G, C, C, E.

Now, this is an open voicing.

That means that the outside notes of the voicing are above an octave, right?

They go beyond an octave.

So close means anything within an octave, above means beyond.

And really, the closed and open, uh, refer to the

triad itself. So this is actually a closed voicing, even though the C is so low. That is open.

Right. I have C, C, C, G, and E. Another thing that can help are just some basic

orchestration principles for doubling notes, because you're going to double notes with
