Same here John! I just purchased her pdf to really analyze the excerrcise.

This exercise - learning 3-7 and 7-3 in every key - was the first thing I did in the 70's to learn jazz, and the one thing that opened up improv for me more than anything else. It took two semesters to really get them where they were second nature, but truly a door into everything else!

That was spot on and a very comprehensive lesson. I started on electric bass and been playing since the age 9. Learning guitar now while picking up some basic piano and I can't tell you how much I appreciate your teaching method.

I've just happened upon this video and I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying this exercise as an adult beginner. Thank you.

Such a great video, Aimee! I've returned to it several times and use it regularly to help learn chords in the less familiar keys. It's like a capsule summary of basic jazz harmony, and the ideas in it have helped me be able to start playing some standards by ear, or from a lead sheet -- something that I never in a million years thought would be possible. Thank you (and Ian!)!!

Just purchased and downloaded. Already it is obvious this is the best idea ever! I believe I will finally progress in my piano journey. Thank you so much ian for inspiring aimee and Aimee for creating this and sharing. Your voice is beautiful Aimee.

Thank you so much Aimee. I appreciate all your amazing videos you put here for us to understand jazz. I hope to meet you in person one day ha ha

Aimee, this is taking so long! I absolutely am so determined to do it. Your brilliant and so is your student that put it together. Wish you were here! 👏😊🙏🏻

i can’t even tell you how happy i am to have stumbled onto your tut. bought your sheet music. so awesome. thanks.

Being a guy, I tend to brute-force my way through fingerings, and it was no different with this exercise. Focusing on the left hand, I played all the fifths with the thumb and pinky, which involves a lot of bouncing arm travel, which is what I do. But then I watched your left hand. You play the first fifth with your thumb and third finger, and the second fifth with your pinky and index finger, which is so much more efficient and, dare I say, elegant. Thank you once again for a great lesson.

Aimee, you are the best. Thank you so much for all you do!

i’m so happy i found your channel. this exercise is lovely and so so effective! thank you!

Sounds like a sophisticated way to simplify everything...without sounding "thirdsy"! Thanks Aimee!!

Thank you so much Aimee! Getting into jazz can feel so daunting at times. Your videos make it so much more accessible to an adult beginner like myself.

Purchased the exercise pdf. Thank you for creating and sharing Aimee! Really fun and pretty way to play through all the chords

I just love what you brought on the menu today, its awesome you really made my day, lovely and inviting chordal progression, kudos to you.

Thank you Aimee. This exercise is a beast. I used it to master voice leadings. The 3-7 on the right hand is really important as those two notes determine the chord quality. 3 determines whether its a major or minor chord while the 7 determines if its a dominant 7 or maj7/min 7.

Love this melodic exercise to help me practice! Thank you Aimee & Ian.

I love your lessons. God bless you and keep you safe for many years to come..

Absolutely magical vlog. Gorgeous piano as well. Cheers..Dieter

Your voice alone gives me enough encouragement to learn chords, beautiful!

I am a guitar player and have been practicing arpeggios. Just running through the harmonized scale in different positions on the fretboard. This will be much more fun! Thank you, I love your channel!

Thank you also Ian! Brilliant. Keep that spirit!

OK, I've been learning this without the music for a month, 5 weeks! Wow, it was so hard, but now6 I've learnt the first page its brilliant. You play them randomly and it sounds great. Really tests you on your chords. Love your teaching Amee. Thank you and thank you to Ian.

Thankyou and Ian. Purchased the pdf. Looking forward to practicing these and learning them well. I haven't played for perhaps years and the 2 teachers I had never taught anything but how to read music. FINALLY I'm learning so much more via KZread channels like this one. Thankyou! THANKYOU!!

Thanks for the PDF, Aimee. It looks like a great warm-up exercise: good for fingers, good for the brain.

Beautiful work Aimee ... !!!

So cool ! Finally getting back to basics after a long layover. My Casio was in a box for over a year but some surgery has brought it back - mostly. Been messing around with 2-5-1 stuff but for a daily warmup, this looks like just the ticket ! Shoutout to Ian.

Thank you Aimee . Fantastic lesson!!!!

I'm looking forward to reaching the point where I can fully grasp these chords. They sound great.

Wonderful lesson Aimee!!!

Just terrific. I’m now going to see if I can put it into practice!

What a great idea! Thanks so much!

Thank you so much Aimee - and Ian - for this. It is exactly what I have been looking for. And yes, Aimee, I promise that I will use it without the sheets, but... as a beginner, I need the sheets to 'get me off the ground' in the first place. (And thank you to George Higgins for the suggestion about naming the chords as I play.) These progressions reinforce the 2-5-1 sequence and the 4th as a means to making the move. I believe that once I have these in my fingers the world of lead sheets will open up for me as well as allowing me to accompany the songs that I want to sing (for myself you understand, I'm not going to inflict it on others.) Thanks again Aimee for putting this lesson together for us.

Aimee. Thank for this valuable excercise. I send you a big hug..

My students will often come up with color coded grids and I tell them the same thing. Look at the guitar and work it out. Scratch your head and find it. The guitar is tough because we don't have white and black keys and there is probably 14 different finger patterns for the same scale. When I heard you say don't look at the sheet I thought to myself "Thank you!" You sound like a marvelous teacher.

5:36 I love sinking into each chord, not worrying about the tempo. Sometimes I play a chord a few times to let it sink in. :)

Thank you Ian, thank you Aimee!

Superb - crystal clear, beautifully crafted, illustrated, demonstrated - and the joy and comfort of a 'human error' - or what one might call the 'jazz of non-order'. As a fellow music educator - terrific!!!! Thank you v much.

I am not a musician but I love to hear all the beautiful musical sounds. I also enjoy the process of learning as students and teachers can explore together and have a give and take where both get great benefit. You and Ian have such great meekness and the result is a great new discovery of a beautiful method to excel. Thanks Aimee and Ian

It was tempting to download the lesson, but thank you for encouraging us to listen and feel for the shapes. Great for ear training too. About four keys into it, the sound is getting in my ear and I find myself listening and feeling for sounds. Very exciting.

Just started leraning such chord voicings and your video is extremely helpful. Hands down, amazing exercise and also amazing tutorial. Thank you :)

This is beautiful!

FANTASTIC IDEA!!!! MANY, MANY THANKS

this was really something... thank you so much

Exactly what and when I needed this.🙏🏿 thanks

Holy cow... just charted it out in irealpro and noticed that if you repeat the first chord of each line (the five of the relative minor chord at the end) as a half diminished chord it's the V of the first chord of the next line (plus you now have 2 of each half diminished chord so #symmetry). This exercise is the Russian nesting doll of II-V's. Blew my mind nine different times as I charted it and saw the big picture coming together. I love this!

So soothing when she sings also "ba tha tha da ..." very nice indeed. I'm damn purchasing this. Rarely like to purchase something without huge research cos a lot of recycled information out there at different prices. This intuitively is absolutely worth it. Buying for my son who's is 14, don't know any musical theory but damn can just play amazingly hence last year I couldn't play the piano or thought in my life I'd be grade 3 standard. I did it to help my son with theory but when he does his own music he just goes off. His singing teacher say he's a genius and doesn't even know it. The piano is a throw away, out of tune but sounds so good when he plays. This chord guide will help him. Thank you so much for something immeasurably invaluable and affordable.

Muchas gracias Aimee, compré la partitura, es la primera vez que encuentro algo tan completo, Felicitaciones y gracias!

Ha!! I never knew that the IV chord is commonly used as a pivot chord to the relative minor key! I never knew it was called a pivot chord! This explains Autumn Leaves to me - finally!!! It explains Fly Me to the Moon - finally!!! That IV chord is a chord that is common to both keys!!! Departure chord, a vehicle to take us to the relative minor.
