    I went to college to learn jazz as a guitarist and came out a jazz pianist. The course was over-subscribed with guitarists and no pianist. Third week I left my guitar at home and started travelling light. The course tutor couldn't understand at first why had jumped down onto piano. I explained "jazz starts with piano trio and after that bolt on what you like". We were looking like the Gypsy Kings and thats not a good look for jazz. As a guitarist I thought chordally and used patterns. I did know pop piano but the Tutor said that I needed to buy a book. "Jamie Abersolds Jazz Chords for Non-Pianists" Armed with this I learned all the rootless chords, open and closed and all the alt-dom7 shapes. I now know over a hundred standards using fake books. Adding bass and appegiations gives me a cool cocktail sound. I play cocktail piano professionally and still tell people I'm a guitarist for the surprise element. Jazz chord voicings are extremely important. I've seen younger pianists playing jazz and they are all over the keyboard adding 11ths 9ths 13ths. If you do that you will run out of fingers quickly. All these chords can be implied efficiently with just four notes. Think chord shapes not chords this is the trick. Quickly you will see Emaj9 and Gm7 are the same for improvisation and that F7#5b9 (F7alt) is the same as B9. Just the bass is different. This is the tri-tone substitution idea. Think shapes and patterns like a guitarist and jazz piano will become unlocked.

    Your ad preceding this lesson is spot on. So many of us took lessons for years and still can't play fluently. It's a tribute to the power and beauty of the piano that we still have a passionate desire to learn.

    You have a unique teaching style for RUclips jazz piano teachers. While you speak to beginners, I also think you have a lot of pragmatic advice for more advanced players who want to work as professional musicians. Advice for when it's go-time. This seems related to whom you learned from. In any case, greatly appreciate it.

    One of the best videos!!!!! I recommend internalizing ALL these progressions over time. I find playing melodies by ear pretty easy. But chord progressions are much harder for me. So this seems the way to learn ing to play chord progressions by ear

    Jonny, first time visitor. I'm a trumpet player. I've more or less learned some of these devices by trial and error, but it helps to have it all explained in "8 Steps." This will really help my confidence level when I get asked on a gig and have to play "new" tunes, which really aren't that "new if you break them down the way you have here. Mega thanks!

    So clear its unreal, lit all the theory you need to start, then just learning actual songs to see how it applies and then see how artists put their own spin on these progressions, or even make new ideas outside of theory to leave you more confused than when you started.
