mike did awesome!

"May the jazz be with you", I love that !

Amen every day thank you Jesus Amen

These 7 voice leading examples should help you improve your comping a lot. There's a free to download PDF of all the examples including chord diagrams & notation. Link is in the description. Oh, and you don't have to sign up with your email or any BS like that either.

Thank you very much Saul, awesome compilation of very useful comping variations with voice leading!

I gave this video a thumbs down as a way to constructively debate the ideas discussed in this video. I disagree with the premise of this video because the narrator of this video states that a teacher of jazz improvisation or comlosition does not necessarily need to be a t least a trained expert in teaching jazz in order to teach jazz. I disagree in order to teach jazz; onr should be qualified to do so. I have unfortunately noticed a trend over the past two decades through many dissertations and you tibe videoes on jazz piano pedagogy that promote this questionable premise. It woukd be analogous to a pilot learning how to fly from an unlucesened pilot thst is really not qualified to teach a cadet at a pilot training school. I do like the universal teaching methodology for all subjects (nit just jazz) called the scaffolding teaching methodology however the example used in this vudeo was not a good one. In the 1970's 80's Jazz oedagogy was better premised wherevy one would assume a classical piano teacher with no jazz training to accept the fact thhat if a student wants to learn jazz then the classical teacher would refercthe student to a aualified jazz teacher. Today we see this trend move in the opposite direction whete the average classical piano teacher mistskingly wastes a student's time and momey on giving jazz lessons withiut being wualified to do so. The end result is that the students then falsely believes they are learning how to play jazz and worse never really lnow what jazz is. For example, , in the 70's and 80's and 90's the historical genres throughout jazz hustory itself were viewed as all related like the brakches on a tree-the tree of Jazz as in the way Duke Ellington described however today's jazz pedagoidues at typic university level teachbthe opppsite which is thst Jazz music is hard to define conprising a variety of genres that come and go all not related like the branches of a tree are related to a common trunk.

Hello Saul I have a general Question what kind of software do you use for writing Leadsheets and chord charts like Diagrams and so on Thank you have a good Day

Great and useful lesson Saul, thanks a lot!

LINKS to the first 3 videos in this series. Watch at least the Minor Family one first -assumed knowledge for this lesson! I decided not to link to lessons about how to play the head - on reflection, none of them were actually helpful for that. I uploaded a PDF of notation & TAB fingering instead. Comping Minor Family chords & intro to the Method 👉 ruclips.net/video/J-3fdCUfmeM/видео.html Comping Dominant Family chords 👉ruclips.net/video/4AmMepC6EGA/видео.html Comping Major Family chords 👉ruclips.net/video/ursvI24J-QM/видео.html

So great to hear a simple and clear explanations. Your teaching style really resonates . Thanks!!!

I really appreciate these lessons. Not just the content but the format. It is very helpful to include a short backtrack right after you teach and demonstrate the concept. Much easier than watching a full video to the end and then trying it. he very clear identification of the particular concept that we are talking about is very helpful as well. Thanks much for doing this!!!

Very useful and enjoyable lesson. Thank you.👍🎸

Thanks for explaining the good stuff so well!

Please don’t spend first few minutes explaining the less useful way of understanding modes, before you get to your idea of the good information. This student now has less attention to spare while I watch what you believe is most important.

Hi Saul, your channel is pure gold, after comping by chord families lessons now you give us a real example and how to put all in action to make real music and even improvise, I am very happy to follow all your lessons, I can see you have a clear vision and organized structure to make people learn, thank you a lot, very much appreciated!! Also thank you very much for the PDFs and diagrams material and for music references!

great lesson as always!

I had a ES-175 just like yours. It got stolen some years ago. It was held and signed by Steve Howe of Yes back in 1977. It had a 5th fret inlay that didn't lay perfectly flat. I enjoyed your lesson immensely, and that beautiful natural finish 175 brought a tear to my heart.

Thanks!!!😊

Teaching is not just common sense, it has techniques and knowledge of its own. Here are three more important tips for teachers: ruclips.net/video/dOSONSx79BU/видео.html

This is really a story about context - jazz students, teachers, and players need the right musical tools for the job at hand. It also debunks one of the galaxies-worth of jazz myths often used to make a point, but based on something fabricated in the retelling.

This is the third installment of the "Game-Changing" comping series. I've covered Minor family chords, Dominant Family chords and now Major family chords. Here's my full playlist of videos about chords & comping: ruclips.net/p/PL7rpRGIFiyXS5qr0IAzrOXtTo5DLB3I1G

This video deals with Realistic Feedback, Planning, and Pacing. Feedback, especially, is so important and often poorly handled in jazz teaching for spurious, albeit possibly well-meaning, reasons. In an area where "success" or "improvement" aren't usually obvious to students, helpful feedback from a teacher is vital. To avoid doing this, verges on abusive and dishonest. For example, a tennis player knows immediately whether or not their serve lands accurately where they aimed. Even without teacher intervention, that feedback is obvious and helpful. But in jazz, how can someone not already steped in the music know whether a line or solo they just played was effective, in style, in time, or whatever? It needs an expert eye/ear to see/hear. Planning and good pacing are just fundamentals of good teaching. Here's a great recent video by RUclips channel @Veritasium on the steps needed for expertise, beyond the "10,000" hours thing. It includes the importance of feedback, plus lots more: ruclips.net/video/5eW6Eagr9XA/видео.htmlsi=rioYRtpp498qHD2J

Bass players don't have many of the problems guitarists do. ;)

Hi Saul, I'm just a music lover trying to learn to play the guitar. The anormous amount of material available is not at all a good thing if you just jump from one lesson to another, from one channel to another. The biggest problem is that there is never a ‘plan’ / ‘agenda’ for teaching on the channels. Thank you very much Saul!

Thanks Saul! Love your videos!

Excellent Tips! ❤

I've gained so much from these simple ideas, and my technique has improved. Can you follow up with a video where you voice-lead the different chord qualities in a tune? Preferably not Autumn Leaves. I think that would help tie everything together.

When you want to play any chord, do you play the diminished arpeggio half step below the chord before getting to the chord? Pls i need more clarity on this cause I'm confused.

genios teaching
