5 months ago I watched your videos for the first time. I have chosen 20 pieces and have to learn them. Now i'm practicing piece number 3 and it works, slowly but it works. Many many thanks, you are the very best piano teacher on RUclips. You enrich my life❤️👏👏👏👏
Fantastic Lesson! I seldom make comments but you deserve a gigantic thumbs up on this one. This lesson goes way beyond learning a song! You are teaching muisc! And your love of teaching shines here!
I've been struggling at improvise for ages and im really surprised that I actually gain lots of inspiration and found joy in practicing jazz.... I don't leave comments but your channel helps me so much that I have to leave my appreciation here😭 thanks for your hard work for making these videos, those are live savers for beginners like me❤️
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your amazing tutorials! I always have a hard time deciding which fantastic lesson I will follow next. So many amazing tunes to learn, so little time.
Hi Christian, thanks a lot for this tutorial on a great piece of jazz. This is one of the best tutorials, I ever came across on YT. You are a great teacher as you are a great musician.
Wow! Not only are your tutorials the best, this is even better. Amazing! “It’s so easy to sound like a jazz genius” - it is with Christian to help you 😃!! And I nearly didn’t bother watching ‘cause I knew it’s a jazz tune. Thank you, thank you, 🙏 Now, if you could possibly arrange for me to master your lessons at the speed you produce them, life would be peachy.
I have just discovered your video….although I am very addicted to You tube Jazz channels…it is really clear …and generous…..thank you sooo much !! (Sorry for my bad English…)
Hey Christian, I just wanted to let you know how fantastic it has been to find you. I started piano at age 65, been playing 5 years now. I spent the first couple of years learning scales and chords of course, and learning to read music. Then I learned Satie's Gnossiennes as I had always loved them. The next year I discovered Einaudi and learned a repertoire of his pieces. But something was missing -- you!! I have always wanted to be able to sit at a piano in a bar, like Sam in Casablanca and "play it again, Sam, play our song". So I googled Cocktail Piano and found you. Mate I have bought a heap of your sheet music and I reckon in a year or two, I will achieve my dream, thanks to you. You ARE the master.
Hey Christian I'm glad I found you and learning Cantaloupe Island, one of my favorite tunes. And you make it very easy to follow your instructions. And also love the way you help me understand improvisation and feel the the depth of the song. Thank you very much for your free tutorial, your great. regards Andre
This is one of my favorite one of your arrangements. I posted my performance on my page. The channel is becoming quite a Fuchs homage. I just love the quartal chords and Dorian part. You really made this one a cool jazz blues. Such a groove. Plus thanks for all the improv tips in the tutorial.
This one has it all. Great tune, priceless chatter and accessible as are all your tutorials. But each chapter adds to a learning curve that teaches important fundamentals along the way. I’m putting my teeth into this one Christan... I agree with Bill just below, one of your very best!
Tutorial!!!! Btw, would all these great stuff be applicable to mandarin pop? There’s not a single decent tutorial site for mandarin pop… perhaps its not as popular and usually the tutorials are not great like yours… any chance of trying one for us please? Thank you in advance🤗

And comments like yours enrich my life! No kidding. Thank you!
I just bought like 20 yesterday too! Obv this being one of them. Christian is the man!
Yes I agree - thanks Christian!
A cornucopia of piano knowledge. One of your very best. Much thanks from Diamond Bar, California
Fantastic Lesson! I seldom make comments but you deserve a gigantic thumbs up on this one. This lesson goes way beyond learning a song! You are teaching muisc! And your love of teaching shines here!
I'm just returning to piano after three decades away from it. Thanks for demystifying some of my favorite songs.

Wow! Thanks for another fabulous tutorial, Christian. You're the best. A challenge for me, but that is how we grow some skills ! Gesundheit!!

perfect thx 🏆😁
Tip. Mixolydian #11 is just the lydian dominant scale.
If it’s not a daft question , would that backing track work on watermelon man ?
Well, there is a bass in here that doesn't work on Watermelon. But if you turn down the lower frequencies a bit, it should work.
