    Blues scale almost feels like cheating . . . I press random notes on the blues scale, and my dad compliments me on my jazz skills

    Holy shite. This tutorial was on point. That was so easy to absorb! Thanks man! I love the way you're teaching. If this wasn't an effective way to teach, i don't know what is.

    Two comments
    One, I feel stupid because I wrote down steps thinking it would work in every key, and didn’t know you could use semi tones to describe certain scales
    Two, playing along with those backing tracks is great. This is by far the best jazz video I’ve seen. Gives formula, gets straight to the point. I can’t tell you how many videos I’ve watched where someone just did it in C and didn’t explain other keys as if it’s obvious to the audience. (Although it’s easy to transpose so forget that major detail)
    Anyway, thank you for videos like these. Helps a lot with understanding how jazz improvisation works.

      Thanks Mr.Silver! I'm happy you found the lesson useful :)
      Yes, I also see many people explain something in the key of C and forget about all other keys, it gets very boring just playing in C after a while haha! Transposing stuff such as scales and chords will also help you out in so many areas of your playing :)

    Hey there, awesome tutorial! Perhaps you could do any video explaining the various tricks you use when improvising? What I mostly mean is that part where you hit the 2 notes at the same time or quickly flip through 3 notes. I do not see this covered in most theory lessons. Thanks!

    Dear Mr. Pig, I was😍 a pro rocker on and off for a half a century. 65. Artritis in my hands has me off stage. I live F@#%ing Las Vegas!🤣🤣. Cry...moan gnash teath in utter darkness...Untill I Found You. I get the way you teach. I once showed the nerd squad/chess club at the local high school in Mojave, California, how musical notation was just a math expression. Well, the formed a band, became the cool kids.Got the heck out of the nothin' and moved to Hollyweird. The Power of good teaching.
    So, I Will learn the piano/keyboard from you.
    But, you tak kinda funny. Are you from Amarillo. In '67 I was at a rattle snake BBQ outside Amarillo and...Well anyway, you don't have to tune it. Low impact. I already gave the note inscribed on every key. I don't have to hold it. It never neds new strings. Millions of people do it.
    How hard could this realy be

  • @ejshelby5460
    @ejshelby5460 3 года назад

    Hi PianoPig, can you do a lesson on the deeper mechanism of applying that blue note? To me, a blues/jazzy tune almost 80% of the time use the blue note as a passing/grace note/pick up position. It is rarely landed on as a full beat or last longer than necessary. As you always want to conclude those little sentences on one of the tonic group notes, so I wonder if there’s a way to expose the blue note longer. It can be done, like in a suspended in animation/thought in process way, Zappa seems to use it.

  • @tonyrichengod9280
    @tonyrichengod9280 4 года назад

    Question: you're teaching the 321132 method. But then at 02:35 when you go to play C7, the interval is 4-3-3. Then F7 is 3-2-4. Then G7 is 3-2-4. I'm confused.

    • @kellycoote7149
      @kellycoote7149 4 года назад

      Yup it’s confusing because the guy click baited you: a) this lesson is not a lesson for beginners like he says in the description hahaha ... that’s just click bait bs, this is advanced level piano requiring a knowledge of piano theory such as scales, keys, seventh chords, intervals, hand independence, rhythm and keeping time; b) the 321132 interval pattern is how you find each of the six notes in the blues scale for any starting root note, it is not the interval pattern used to play the chords; c) the dominant chords he’s playing in the left hand to accompany himself are being played in close voicing using different positions or inversions, again an advanced technique, for example C7 is in root position, F7 and G7 are being played in 2nd inversion position, which he did not mention he was doing at all; d) how he is comping the chords *in time* in his left hand in the different inversions in a certain key for the 12 bar blues progression while simultaneously improvising single note patterns and licks and broken chords *in and out of time* from the tricky to learn blues scale in his right hand is an advanced technique of hand independence and mastery of seventh chords and the blues scale, requiring *hundreds* of hours of practice until it starts to sound good. If you are a beginner and you want to learn blues piano, sorry this is not the video for you. Find a RUclips teacher who doesn’t bs you. They’re out there.

      IM THINKING OF COMPOSING A BLUESY TUNE NOW. AT PRESENT IM JUST PLAYING RANDOM NOTES THEN I RECORD IT AND LISTEN TO IT LATER TO SEE IF I HAVE COME UP WITH ANY GOOD SOUNDS.
      IM PROBABLY TOO OLD TO GET ANYWHERE WITH MY MUSIC NOW THOUGH.

Even though I used to play so passionately when I was a kid, it became harder to stay focused when I was that tired. I started playing again the summer after I graduated, and I'm still trying to keep up, but I'm having the same amount of fun that I used to when I was a kid and it feels great.

      i do get what you mean but in my defence i commented this when it was first a thing which was a few weeks ago if i can remember, you read this today and got borderline pissed off because idk you are tired of seeing something over and over again. and my comment probs pushed you to comment, i understand that. but the world is divided 60 to 40 most people dont really care and some people may find joy or happiness in the comment and some wont and find its "distasteful" or "overused"
      now you seem like a nice person and i aint mad i just hope you can understand why this happens so much.
      and when i say i know it can be overused i was talking about when comments like "first" or "Like for this, comment for that" comments that have been around for years thats what i meant but the "i felt that" phase on the internet its still kinda new and therefore kinda surprised me to find someone so annoyed by it already

    Been playing classical piano for well over 10 years, and until I picked up a guitar six months ago, I never realized there were even scales outside the standard major/minor and harmonic minor. I learned more about blues and jazz structures in this five minutes than I knew after a decade. Really loving getting this fresh look at music. Thank you!

    I could never read or understand notes, i always went by ear, so naturally hearing this gave it their title, and of course everyone if not most people can understand the blues, and well for me looking at it as semitones was Re-cap, it was like "bro this what ive always done, but now i understand why it works that way".

      I TOOK PIANO LESSONS WHEN I AS A CHILD FOR 5 YEARS THEN QUIT AND JUST PLAYED THE PIANO NOW AND THEN FOR THE FUN OF IT. I WASNT GREAT EITHER AT READING SOME MUSIC. THEN I WENT MANY YEARS WITHOUT PLAYING THE PIANO AT ALL AND ONLY GOT BACK INTO IT IN MY LATE 50S. I PREFER TO MAKE UP MY OWN TUNES NOW. I RARELY PLAY A TUNE READING PIANO SHEET MUSIC. MY EYE SIGHT ISNT THE BEST EITHER. IVE BEEN TRYING TO PLAY HUNGARIAN RHAPSODY NO 2 BUT ITS WAY TOO ADVANCED TO PLAY MORE THAN 2 PAGES OF IT AND EVEN WITH 2 PAGES I STRUGGLE WITH IT AND HAVE TO GUESS SOME AREAS.

    Great points I've got from this video:
    1/ You can use a blue scale on a major chords progression. C blue scale on C major chord progression.
    2/ You can use blue scale of its relative minor to play on major chord progression. Am blue scale on C major chord progression.
    So I suppose we can combine the two blue scales together (C blue scale and Am blue scale) to make a great solo??

    Hey-I have been a frustrated piano 'player' for over 50 years. You have truly inspired me to study with you. I have vamped for and created, almost accidentally, some reasonable sounds - but after 20 mins I 'slam the lid' in sheer frustration-again. I will start from your beginnings and keep your informed as to progress. Keep up this brilliant inspirational work. Thank you.
