Think Better. Play Better. Play some piano and some jazz.
Is this the best first jazz standard?
Starting to learn jazz piano can be overwhelming. Where do you start?
After learning the blues, I think "Satin Doll" is one of the best first jazz standards to learn.

Learn Jazz Improvisation - Is there an easier way?

Learning to improvise doesn't have to be complicated. When I started to learn Jazz I started with standards. I think this method is a much easier way to start learning how to improvise.

The example played does not go up in fourths (although they are still “mantoothian” voicings)
I am still learning from you Ryan! You need t-shirts that say, "Ooh, that's a little spicy!"
Glad this helped. I love spicy chords. 🌶️
I found it did not help. He was too quick
i am clasically trained. but i love Jazz and Gospel piano more. I don't know any theory. but i just play what sounds best. but I want to know what I'm playing lol edit: tbh its so hard to start learning the basics cause i wanna play the advance stuff (since ik the advance stuff in classical music), but obv u gotta start over with a new genre. but learning will be faster.
You are full of yourself you’re a second rate player at best. Stop just stop please
So true about transcription books. I can relate
You are great man
🙏
nice
🤜
Thank you
You're welcome
Great video!! Do you have any recommendations as to which pianists’ interpretations of this song we should listen to for inspiration??
Of course start with the original Ellington recordings. After that I like Hank Jones, it's a bit dense but interesting. Oscar Peterson and Clark Terry is really fun. Peterson also plays it on the album "Solo" the first Jazz album I ever bought.
Excelente, Gracias
De nada
Beautiful sounds.
🙏
Very helpful!
Glad it helped.
fantastic tutorial I've discovered so much from just watching a few of your tutorials many thanks
Glad you like them!
excellent tutorial thanks
You're welcome!
Great video, and i like the books. I may get Jazzology. And i agree with you that a transcription book only has half the story, because Jazz is a conversation between the players. It is impossible to capture in a book. Its kind of like oral tradition. Where every musician is telling a story and they have their own individual idiomatic expressions. Some eras or musicians even have their own dialect, depending on where they came from. Cannot be captured. I think a lot of "jazz" nowadays does not sound like jazz at all, because people are trying to base their playing on a book or "method" in isolation. Will never work. The best book on jazz is the jam session. One has to attend, play, and get cut a few times by more advanced players. Then gradually the vocab and innuendoes will develop. That is the chops. This is why many classical musicians are never able to capture the jazz "swing". The only other alternative to live jam sessions is to immerse onself in the recordings and play along as though it was a jam session. One has to pick a musician that one admires and copy them like an apprentice. Learn their intonation, the nuance of their jazz dialect. To the note. One will never sound like them, but in the process of learning, a unique style will develop. The books dont have much on jazz, unfortunately. Theyre good for reading sheet music, but thats about it.
Thank you, good advice for sure. Unfortunately it doesn't sound jazzy to my ears. Good luck 👍
Just tuned into your channel…would love to see more with blues and jazz…in particular slow blues with left hand chords with right hand licks and runs etc…thanks Grant🎹
Thanks for the suggestions
thank you very much, its very very useful
You are welcome!
god none of these tutorials acc allow me to start jazz. All so complicated still. Edit: Never mind this is a good way to start i guess. I’m just still confused with chords like i can play all major scales and then all major chords but voicings, shells and stuff. Are all still complicated to me. So how should i go about learning these, i really want to start making jazz music
Do the exercises shown in this video. When you can do it in C then do it in other keys like F and G.
Referring to BeBop as stuff is absolutely disrespectful. Show some.
excellent tutorial very easy explanation many thanks
Glad to help
@@FrazierPianoStudio i learnt a lot from this tutorial thanks
The Jazz Piano Book, is actually a load of CRAP... overloaded with far TOO MUCH information, which in the end takes the young student NOWHERE. It's almost like trying to learn piano by using an encyclopedia.... Yet, I CANNOT BELIEVE that it's being used by the music department at the University of Las Vegas NV..... Wtf.....😅😂 Btw, I'm a music educator...
It does feel like learning from a dictionary. A good reference but not as a curriculum.
13:17 did you sneak Super Mario in there on purpose? 🤔
Not intentionally. The underworld theme does do that though.
The first few minutes kinda defeat the purpose of your video. "Just analyze the music you have." Yes we could. IF WE KNEW MUSIC THEORY. The next few minutes focus on plugging your site. And you admittedly say it's for "older learners." Assume your audience is starting from zero. People who know theory don't need books. No use catering to them. Help those of us looking for a good resource for the real novice. Thanks.
All valid feedback. I have another video on beginner theory books. The website I "plug" is absolutely free with step by step videos explaining each concepts with drills.
How do you have your wireless headphones setup? No delay?
They're not wireless. The cord is running behind my shoulder.
He’s correct. The blues is a great place to begin improvisation. Learn the rootless LH voicings.
This is the video I have been looking for!!
Glad to help.
The shell is the 3rd and 7th note of the chord. So with C major the shell is E and B flat. He said the shell is the most important part of the chord that make it sound like the chord. Surely the tonic is the most important in that respect (in this case the C note)? E and B flat without C wouldn't tell us that it's a C chord, would it?
Yes you would think that C is the most important. In jazz piano often players leave out the root of the chord and based on context you can imply the root. Listen to Bill Evans. It's not that he never plays the root, it just isn't necessary to imply the harmony.
@@FrazierPianoStudio Ah, thanks.
Removing the root allows the bass player to change dominant chords using a tritone substitution. So take G7 for instance which the shell is F and B. G7 leads back to C. However, the bass player may play a Db in place of the root G while the piano plays the shell F and B. This changes the chord G7 into Db7, but the function is the same . It leads back to the C chord. So in terms of voice leading, the root is the least important note. Jazz pianists often omit the root note, even when playing solo. The fifth doesn't hold as much importance as the shell either. When I see G7, resolving to a tonic C chord, I see a G9, G9#5, G13, Fdim7, G#dim7, B dim7, D dim7, G7b9, G7#5#9, G7b9#5, Db7, Db9, Db9#11, Db13#11. And that's not all of them. So when a jazz pianist sees a G7, he or she sees many options that can be used in its place. And not all of them have a G in the root. But all of my examples contain the shell F and B.
beginner here, watched ur fingering in the Rh. Do I follow that or what feels comfortable to me ? right way vs wrong way ? Thanx
There are some principles of good fingering but everyone's hands are different shapes and sizes so some fingerings may feel better than others.
I've been working on the circle of 5ths for some time but after watching this I realized that I have been utilizing all the possibilities. Many thanks for all the information!
You bet. 🙏
I'm not crazy about the blues but I must admit that the way you present this material makes sense. This was an excellent lesson!
Thanks
Very clear advice. By the way, nice-sounding keyboard you're playing. What is it?

@@FrazierPianoStudio Thanks! I'll check it out.
This is a great lesson. Nicely put together and a great workout for learning to improvise.
I'm glad you found it useful.
i'm interested in your content, but your camera framerate is horrible. i'm just gonna scroll down to hide the video and listen, and hit 'subscribe', but, please get a good camera/software so i can watch.
I have a good camera. Canon m50. For the hands I use a webcam. I can't afford a 2nd camera yet. I render my videos down to 25 FPS. What part specifically is bad? Is it fuzzy? Is it the hands part that bothers you or the main camera? It could be my aperture and light settings. The motion does get a bit blurry. Thanks for the feedback.
@@FrazierPianoStudioI think he’s mentioning the webcam. I, too, do videos like this (coincidently I used 24 fps for a while because computer resources). In the end, you seem to know your way around this stuff but I thought I’d let you know.
@@FrazierPianoStudioI think it’s your shutter speed mismatch. That irks me too but I wasn’t watching. Usually I hate when RUclipsrs use too fast of a shutter speed which results in choppy motion. Your GoPro has a slower shutter speed compared to your Canon. The former might be on some kind of auto and the later is probably set “correctly” at a 2:1 shutter vs framerate. Textbook standard video calls for that. I have a gopro 8 and I think you can lock the shutter speed. That’s another advantage of a lower frame rate: more exposure time for any given “shutter angle”. Anyway, try to match up your frame rate and shutter speed between the cameras i.e. 24p and 1/48 shutter (or close to that). Gopros need massive amounts of light so maybe bring in a practical lamp just for your hands so you can get good exposure. Plus your hands look a little purple so a nice warm light should help. Edit: Oh I see you said webcam. Yeah, that’s going to be unfixable unless you can lock frame rate. Even then, they’re prone to ghosty lag. Anyway, a gopro will do it but they’re little divas in terms of how much effort you need to make them look good indoors.
How I started // My dad was a jazz guitarist in Africa and would let me sit in and jam with the elders and at a young age play with these seasoned elders in jazz clubs - on “the bandstand “ …. I just lifted Bud Powell, Parker, Monk , Tatum. and Lester Young …. I did this because that’s how jazz musicians become fluent, they listen and replicate and assimilate … they DON’T go to school for jazz or use books … Then in my 20s I found the perfect mentor (Barry Harris) and studied with him for over 25years…. Learning jazz is something you do by doing it (experiential learning) … books and schools are garbage.. formulaic nonsense
Absolutely, sink or swim is the best way.
Why is it that all these "how to play jazz piano" videos assume that the student has a bass player available?
🤣
You've got to pay your dues if you want to play the blues. And then pay more dues to play jazz.
Thanks for watching
I am a beginner…have taken a few lessons and know a little music theory. Have listened to a lot of videos talking about theory and improvisation and different types of scales.
😀 I started following classes at André Bijleveld, a famous pianist in The Netherlands. He simply told me: 'play what you wanna play and make it sound the way you want it to sound.' That's it, end of class and end of my lessons from André Bijleveld. Oh, and I bought Mark Levine's Jazz Piano Book too. Has been lying around for many, many years.
That's a great way of thinking about it.
The Bebop part 🤦🏾♂️... That was a fail. I suggest anyone interested look elsewhere.
Can you explain why you say it's a "fail?" What "elsewhere" would you recommend?
@@SteveSnelling the first lesson in Jazz is “rhythm”, even more so Bebop. Did you hear anything resembling this in this video? All that was talked about was surrounding target notes and arpeggios (on the bebop part). That’s not what bebop is (because you can do this in classical music or any other music). And notice when they got to demonstrate bebop, it was frankly amateurish. It sounded as a beginner student practicing their arpeggios at the end of their first week of starting out. It was that atrocious. Check out: billgrahammusic channel or “things I’ve learned from Barry Harris” channel in order to get the essence of what this beautiful music is about. I’d also recommend watching and listening to Barry Harris here on YT. There’s more to Bebop than just surrounding notes and playing arpeggios.
Thanks for the recommendations and the feedback. So note choice has nothing to do with bebop at all?
@@FrazierPianoStudio obviously have to choose notes, if you have to outline a chord, for example. but that, in of itself is not bebop, because you can do this in any style. But like I said, “rhythm” is first in jazz. Then one needs to understand the “language” which entails, note choices (like you said), approaching notes in diff ways (appoggiaturas, turns etc) . Ascending and descending lines (chromatic, scaly), pivoting, starting on the “and” of a beat (1, 2, 3 and 4 or any part of the off-beat). You do all these with rhythm at the heart of literally EVERYTHING-This gives that “swing” feel we’ve come to know about jazz. And It’s about making phrases, which is more than just playing a “blues” scale or running up and down. “Rhythm is king” “Rhythm rules the world” (Barry Harris)
I agree with a lot of what you said. The thing I am trying to address here is where to start. How do you recommend a beginner starts to learn bebop? Just saying rhythm is everything is too vague. I admit I'm not a bebop pro but most instruction I see on bebop playing feels a bit like the draw-an-owl meme. I've also had excellent bebop players recommend studying Bach, so it's not completely different. Have you seen the Nahre Sol video of the accordion player playing Chopin and then he accented the beats like a bebop player? There are a lot of similarities between bebop and Bach and Chopin.
I learned a lot from the Levine book, especially his stuff on the melodic minor scale, which is the best write up I know on that subject. I’d like to do a video on it someday, but I don’t know how to do the music software. Barry Harris stuff is great too. I’ve seen your approach suggested, and also pentatonic. I think the most important thing may be to find something that makes sense to you and motivates you to really study diligently to master the idea.
It's not that I don't like that book. I've learned a lot from it. I have just seen several people get the book and then not really practice the fundamentals and make good progress at the beginning that way.
Barry Harris stuff is the REAL DEAL. These other things sounds amateurish at least when we’re talking Bebop.
@@FrazierPianoStudio I can see that happening. It’s not the most pragmatic book, but boy is the melodic minor stuff good.
The best introduction to jazz I’ve seen!!! You packed in a little over 30 minutes material to keep you busy for at least 6 months!!!
Thanks. This would take my in person students at least 6 months to go through.
this is great
🤜
Cool stuff❤ unfortunately I am alone with my music taste among my collegues
"In my solitude..." 🤣 Stay weird.
Same here! You're not alone.
Real book... c'est une fois que l'on maitrise son instrument !!
Yes it's a good reference after you get the fundamentals down. However quite a few of the charts in that book have errors.
Totally agree - if you're interested in playing Jazz start with the blues. The blues is one of the roots of jazz and it's a relatively easy to understand form and the best book I've seen on Blues playing is by Tim Richards - "Improvising Blues Piano". The great thing about that book is it starts with very simple forms but you start to improvise right away within those simple rules he gives. If you finish that book he than has two books on Jazz which are perfect to continue with and they use the same approach , it gives you simple rules to start to improvise with and gradually makes it more complicated in easy manageable steps. Really good books.
Thanks for the book recommendation.
Perfect video to introduce blues on piano ! Bravo !

Thank you. I'm an i intermediate guitar student and I need to consolidate my knowledge with piano. So, it can work well for me😮
