Hey Peter, hey, I have questions.

I might have a few answers.

Ambiguous?

Possibly. I'm Adam Manus

And you're listening to the You'll Hear podcast.

Advice and inspiration for music and life.

Coming at you.

My liege. You get so foppish now when you do the... Oh, foppish. Today's episode is sponsored by Open Studio. You know, we have a brand new course out called BlockCords Made Easy. We've been asked for like years to do something on Drop 2 and locked hands, and I finally did it. You did it. And you really did make it easy. We were back and forth on what the title was going to be. And when I saw the way that you laid things out, I was like, wow, you've made block chords easy, which is something because we've talked about this. Like I've been playing block chords, but theoretically, or not even theoretically, I never think that's as important. Conceptually, it's never been easy for me.

And I can tell that about myself when I have trouble explaining it.

And you have such a great concept on it, you know, kind of like reverse engineering from

the end results of some really good block court playing, but a way to approach it.

And I mean, you're not going to like immediately be able to play Oscar Peterson black chords, but you're going to be able to understand the concept behind it and a pathway to get there. And that's what I think makes it easy. Oh, thank you man. Well, and you know what's so cool about what I'm really proud of about this course is that we don't just like explain here's the block chord and here's the scale or whatever. We take you through like jam session standards, how to play the melodies to tunes like

autumn leaves, bluebasa, all the things you are more and more, many more, with block chords

and drop two, with locked hands and drop two. So go check it out. We'll put a link there in the

description. Absolutely. If you want to go check out

our new course. And I think that's it's really key, you know, being able to apply these concepts

as you're teaching them to tunes that most folks will know or should know. For sure. Because

that's how you kind of lock the little turn on a phrase there. That's how you lock in the concept

by being able to place it over an actual tune. That's how we drop to some knowledge on you. Oh, hell. I'll stop. I'll stop. My leash. So I'm excited, man, because we have three speak pipes. Now, new listeners. It's like it's early 2000s again. Yeah. No, oh, geez, know what a speak pipe is.

And actually,

do they though?

I don't even know if I know what it is. Two of our speak pipes are from some you'll hear at OGs, but maybe some new listeners might not know. If you go to you'll hear it.com, you could actually leave us a voicemail. You can still do that? We could still do it. And I'm going to encourage you to go do that because it's really nice for us to get these
