In this video, I give you a 6-step system to follow which will guide you into the world of improvisation. It's so easy to get overwhelmed with the amount of information out there, so my goal with this video is to simplify it all and give you a roadmap which you can follow.
We start by learning a chord progression with voicings in the left hand. We then look at various different things such as the minor blues scale, chord tones, modes and a few other things.
We put it all together in a structured format. This video is meant for you to return to and use as a roadmap, rather than follow along in realtime.
This video is also a summary of one of my courses within the PianoPig Academy. So, if you would like to see more on this - have a think about becoming a member!

That example was 🔥
That opening riff was simple, but the same kind of simple when you start to optimize their details in any art by cutting down the fluff and unnecessary stuff to have exactly what you want to be there, nothing more, nothing less, and it was very smooth!I loved that beat.
Beautiful! Your improvisation videos are my favorites! They're full of notions and ideas... by the way it's great how diminished arpeggio works on the dominant... wow!
Thanks a lot!
The first time I watched this I had no idea in mind but on improvising out of nowhere without an even decent amount of mode knowledge. But now that I know the modes on each scales, I understand this lesson now and it help me broaden again my horizon in jazz playing. Thank you.
This is supremely useful. I've been playing since I was a kid and I still find this so helpful. Thanks!
Simon u r the best teacher hands down. After taking lessons on &off 4 six years ,I have learned so much from you in about one year .your the best. Tom Burkhardt
You make the best piano lessons on the internet. Respect bro!
Thanks man! Much appreciated 😀🙏
Appreciate Video clip! Apologies for chiming in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you thought about - Riddleagan Smart Hands Remedy (search on google)? It is a good exclusive product for learning piano fast minus the normal expense. Ive heard some super things about it and my old buddy Taylor at very last got excellent success with it.
Oh my. This is the best piano video I have seen. Literally trying these 6 steps out for myself was so much fun.
Sir , you are a God Send to a lot of amateur and budding musicians. Keep up this good work. God Bless You .
very well done, been playing lead a while and this simplification is very helpful for visualizing!
Thank you so much bro! This lesson is so fun! Please make another video like this one with left hand chord progressions and scales 🙏🏼
I never thought I was going to like any video on jazz OR improvisation, but I really enjoyed this and I even put myself to work on it! Both thumbs up to you!
Great to hear I managed to give you some inspiration to start improvising! Keep it up 😀
That was a tremendous video and the only instructional thing I have seen which puts it all together with improvising. Congratulations!
Dude, you're the best!
Thanks man! Much appreciated 😀
@@Piano_Pig nicely done
I SMASHED that Like button.
Easy.
Simon is the BEST.
This was an awesome video and saved it to come back to tonight. I had a big cringe, though, when he said smash that like button. I hope that trend has fizzled out. I haven't heard it in awhile.
I love to watch your lessons because yor explanations are very good and also understandable
for beginners!

Finally! I have been stuck on step 2 literally for months haha
Really looking forward to experiment with these exercises. Really appreciated, thank you!
Sorry for the noobie question but how could I find on step 5 which scale to use in each different occasion?
You just have to follow to main scale. Because 2-5-1 is always minor7-dominant7-major7(or min7) and the modes of each chord is dorian-mixolyd-ionian or aeolian but aeolian is too sad for jazz, so they use dorian because it's just one note different on scale :) cmiiw
Thank you thank you thank youuuu!!! In the full course, do you explain the theory behind the scales played for each chord within the progression? I really apretiate your videos...
Great stuff! Fingering the blues scale seems fairly open to interpretation. I seem to be gravitating to a variety of different fingerings depending somewhat on whether I am staying within an octave and/or moving up and down across multiple octaves.
Does it really matters as long as you get the sound out of the piano?
If it does matter, perhaps some ideas on what to try to avoid in your fingering.
no longer would i ever taking lessons again irl thank youu
13:00 So Step 6 is basically "educated" improvising. : D
Thank you Mr. Pig!

It's my pleasure!
Nice👍
