You know, I have been watching youtube videos about music for the last ten years...a lot of them are good teachers actually but for some reason my development didn't seem to manifest. It is only this year when i first watched Adam and Peter (i think in May) that got me hooked on watching...and listening (number 1 rule!) ...and it really helped me tons and changed the way i viewed about music and playing...got rid of my bad habits in playing...not yet there though but working on it. I guess what I'm trying to say is thank you Adam and Peter...you are my heroes...and i mean that with the greatest amount of sincerity!! May you guys and everyone in Open Studio have a very happy new year!!!

All my years of playing gospel I've never heard these chords explained though I use them in all my music. Thank you!

Just about the most concise and useful lesson on triad pairs I've seen. Adam = master player and teacher.

Great lesson. Especially Adam's Keith Jarrett "wooh" homage at

Happy new year to all openstudio folks and huge thanks Adam for this great new lesson

I am an open studio member and have been playing piano for 2.5 years now. As I was watching this video last night it was the first time I feel like I was watching one of these videos and I was actually understanding what was going on on the music theory side of things and how the chords were organized. As a percussionist with preconceived fears of learning theory between the courses, your youtube videos, and the podcast I have been converted!!!

Love these sessions! Thank you, keep 'em coming!

another GREAT - world class - teaching video from ... Adam Maness! Thank you so much!

My year subscription to Open Studio just renewed the other day... it's been the most productive year for me in my musical development. Looking forward to the next year. Thank you guys!

Brilliant lesson Adam!

AWESOME! I've had triad pairs on the to-do list for the past few days, this is perfect!

So generous with such profound knowledge! I'm sure this video has made a lasting impact on so many!

Thanks Adam, this is the first time I've been able to understand and digest the "Triad Pairs" vibe.

Love it. Fresh. Inspiring.

Thank you Adam, a lot to learn understand and practice. As usual ...

Fantastic. Thank you!

Thx! great lesson! This was all new to me and I am excited to try it out.

Just stumbled across this and something clicked... I’ve been at a plateau for a while not really sure how to practice to improve, feel like this could really help. Thanks for putting it together 🙏

This reminds me a lot of the triad + 1 sound! Going to make sure to practice this in all keys to get this under my arsenal!

Awesome!! Thanks so much!!!!
