Bro, I’ve been watching piano tutorials videos for 10+ years and this is one of the best/ most needed tutorials I’ve seen on RUclips in a long while. And you just started on RUclips?? Awesome work bro. Very inspiring.
I agree. This is a keeper vid because it explains what I've been doing most of my life as a pianist. I never these things had names or methods. Well done.
THIS VIDEO IS SO GOOD- YOU WASTED ZERO TIME GETTING STARTED AND IM SO HAPPY FOR IT- AND THE INFO IS WELL THOUGHT OUT AND ELEGANTLY EXPLAINED- yea i smashed that subscribe button instantly
That's the knowledge I was looking for 20years ago when starting piano! Made a bit of my own stuff then, but your video is a good check-list for the things I did good or wrong..! Thank you ! ( Subscribed ;) )
Excellent video. Hope you are inspired to do more. The video is packed with great information and there are plenty of skilled musicians out there hungry for consolidated and massive high-end content. I will save this video as a favorite video and will utilize it for referencing. Please continue to make similar videos and then time stamp or split them into smaller videos if you feel compelled. If you continue to make videos such as this one, I believe you will acquire an advanced following. Thank you !!!
Great as a review, but for learning this is like presented on speed. Much too fast to absorb. Ye old less is more. And please split up into multiple lessons.
not expected to be able to learn along and be able to use every technique after one viewing. learn each technique one by one and come back to the video for reference when needed
If a teacher knows anad uses the word "gnarly" in their teaching, I am all ears! ❤ But seriously, this is hands down the best music theory video, right after Jacob Collier's teachings. Keep it up!
Hey dude, this one's not really a proper tutorial, more an overview so you get a sense of the scope of what can be done. I will do more slower more deliberate tutorials in the future
An Amazing place to get so many beautiful Jazz chords without a doubt. A wonderful video packed with so many chords ! Most pianists show these in the key of C. How about showing the BUD Powell Shells, 3 note shells & Tritone Shells in the key of E flat with some popular jazz standards ( E flat key is also used widely in many jazz standards right) if possible. Thanks
I'm a classical trained pianist and i like jazz ! i've already studied major and minor all 12 keys 2-5-1's, then 12 major scales and their 7 modes,12 melodic minor scales and their 7 modes,12 harmonic minor scales and their 7 modes ! also 12 whole tone scales,12 blues scales and augmented scales and diminished whole-half/half-whole scales ! I'm using 2-5-1's rootless voicings , root LH/ voicing RH ,then voicing LH/ improvise with my RH ! I've been studying for a whole year ,a lot of work !
Hey Richard, that's awesome, sounds like you're working super hard! Parts of this video are a bit more advanced, I don't expect people to be ready for everything in it, but I wanted to give an overview of what's out there, and hopefully get people excited for all the different things you can do with left hand chords and jazz in general :)
Dogs bollocks mate! Love your straight forward style so much useful information packed into a few minutes of content. Thank you for this video gem. Love it. Cheers!!
Wow, this is such a no-nonsense tutorial full of information. And it's way out of my pay grade. I'm working on triads and my ear for now. I know my limitations, and I know that I made no progress when I tried to think I could play jazz when I couldn't play nursery rhymes. I'll be back, but I have to find my sheep.
Great! Finally all these different approaches in one overview! Appreciated! I wonder why is there a C in the 2nd rootless voicing? also c dim, e is not lowered. Probably typo? Keep up the good work!
Thank you much for all this content and thank you for the notes in pdf! I think, in the pdf file, 3rd row, the Co7 needs a Eb instead of E as a third (the R+3+7 chord)
Wow I just wanted some left hand voicing and oh my did I get way more that that. I guess it’s time to get away from my rooted chords now lol. Amazing video thank you so much, you are sensational
This is some great info; it just drives me crazy that your melodies are spelled so strangely. E.g. All Of You around 11:00; that half note in the second measure is a Db, not a C#. The melody in that bar is clearly a minor third up and then walking back down, and that agrees better with the key, not an augmented step that then naturalizes. And there's no reason to think it's doing anything weird, the Db is the b5 of your G-7b5; I sure hope you're not trying to add a #11 to that chord! Another one at 8:00, that is again a Db instead of C#; there's essentially no reason to ever think of a change as a diminished octave rather than simply a seventh jump if your chord isn't changing as you make the jump, there's nothing to support the idea that the key/scale has shifted, so it's two different notes. For anyone wondering, there's a really simple rule for scales and keys: just say the alphabet. If you are going up and you start on a Bb, then add a C, and your next note is a half step up, well the way you know it's not a C# is that you already have a C. You're going to use each letter once, so this is a Db; this even gives you the right answer in keys like F# where you get an E#, or if you accidentally end up in Cb major somehow. If your harmony is based on modes of the major scale (and even with small alterations) this works. It only breaks down with stuff like 12-tone serial composition, e.g. Schoenberg.
codatech has it right, I just play the notes in and it spells it for me, seems the program isn't sophisticated enough to work all that stuff out. It's worse with chords, I always have to fix the chords so they're readable. Don't have time to do that with the meldoies as well right now (this video took 4 months to produce as it is) but maybe in the future as I get quicker at everything else.
This is answered Prayer For Me... thank you for sharing your knowledge... unlike other RUclips teachers they don't share the knowledge that they have. thank you very much God bless you
Can't you people understand? I have too many youtube subscriptions as it is. But do you listen? No! You talented, brilliant teachers insist on making videos that dovetail perfectly with my progress, giving me ideas on just what kind of techniques I need to weave into my playing. Well then, subscribed. But expect to be cursed when I'm scrolling through my mile-long list of subscriptions!
Thank you very much for this great video. The monk shells are awesome! My 2 cents : at 7:35, A is not the 7th of the Bb diminished chord, it is the G. For dominant voicings you write 7th and it is the true role of the note but here A should be named the natural 7th or major 7th. So the voicing for the diminished can be viewed as the standard root position R b3 b5 bb7 but with the bb7 raised a whole step. Also I find the 7b9 substitutions easier to grasp when you realize the chord C7b9 is just C + E dim7 and since E dim7 = Db dim7 = G dim7 = Bb dim7.
Hey man, glad you enjoyed the vid :) Ah yes, mistake at 7:35, whoops. I think of 7ths a little differently to that, and I think my way is easier for students but good to hear another take. I love your 7b9 substitution take! Yes that's a very easy way to see it indeed, I will keep that one in mind. Thanks for your two cents!
I need to return to each section and study in the context of songs I play, very enlightening thanks! I have a question about the 3rd line down Cdim on your sheet, maybe it's aug? and so not 137 notes?
Hey man, glad you enjoyed the vid. Yes sorry that should be an Eb for the 3rd not an E natural, just a mistake on my end, I will try to find a moment to fix that!
Glad you're enjoying my videos! If you'd like to be taught by me directly I do teach online lessons, go to my website - pianosauce.com - to book a free consultation. As for doing videos on those two tunes, I haven't thought about doing step by step wakthrough's yet though I may give it a try at some point in the future :)
Ton of stuff packed into 15 minutes. Thanks very much!
Just confess which planet are u from
Good on ya pard! Keep goin'
Bro, I’ve been watching piano tutorials videos for 10+ years and this is one of the best/ most needed tutorials I’ve seen on RUclips in a long while. And you just started on RUclips?? Awesome work bro. Very inspiring.
Thanks man! I've been looking for stuff like this for a long time, so it's nice to see I'm not alone and there's demand for it
I agree. This is a keeper vid because it explains what I've been doing most of my life as a pianist. I never these things had names or methods. Well done.
Even that was an understatement!!!!!! my mind is BLOWN!!! lol
For those with ears this is all they need. Thank you.
THIS VIDEO IS SO GOOD- YOU WASTED ZERO TIME GETTING STARTED AND IM SO HAPPY FOR IT- AND THE INFO IS WELL THOUGHT OUT AND ELEGANTLY EXPLAINED- yea i smashed that subscribe button instantly
Thanks man! Spent a crazy long time on this so I'm glad you enjoyed it!
The best tutorial about Jazz piano I've seen so far.
Incredible content man, straight to the point and full of value. Keep up the great work, your channel is going to grow huge!
That's the knowledge I was looking for 20years ago when starting piano! Made a bit of my own stuff then, but your video is a good check-list for the things I did good or wrong..! Thank you ! ( Subscribed ;) )
Even if I know most of these, having this reference is amazing, a good refresher and good place to base ideas off
Excellent video. Hope you are inspired to do more. The video is packed with great information and there are plenty of skilled musicians out there hungry for consolidated and massive high-end content.

Thanks Gary, hungry for this type of video myself though it just doesn't seem to be out there at the moment! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Spectacular. Again. Thanks.
Ahh thanks dude :)
This is absolutely the sauce
Think I broke the subscribe button
Great as a review, but for learning this is like presented on speed. Much too fast to absorb. Ye old less is more. And please split up into multiple lessons.
not expected to be able to learn along and be able to use every technique after one viewing. learn each technique one by one and come back to the video for reference when needed
Looking forward to a systematic jazz course?
That's the plan! Got a couple things to release first and then, I can start work on that, watch this space :)
Precise, concise and to the point. Great job, thank you.
No!!!!! I just got Lick-Roll’d by a jazz tutorial! (Subscribed)
this is probably the best video i’ve ever seen on youtube i wish i could like twice
This is an incredible primer, exactly what I was looking for. Brilliant, thank you!
Quite useful insight! Not easy to master though :} Thanks for your video and the sheet, very generous from you
If a teacher knows anad uses the word "gnarly" in their teaching, I am all ears! ❤
But seriously, this is hands down the best music theory video, right after Jacob Collier's teachings.
Keep it up!
This is fantastic. So much information and so clearly explained. Enough chords to keep me going for a very long time.
Thanks 👍
Brilliant! Been looking for something like this for months - thank you.❤❤❤
4:07 supposed to play All the Things You are, but the screen says it s Autumn Leaves.
You're an amazing teacher... Perfect straight to the point..
This is excellent. Over my head, but excellent! :)
Please make more tutorial about jazz Bebop Piano... thanks
Good info just too fast. Please slow down
Hey dude, this one's not really a proper tutorial, more an overview so you get a sense of the scope of what can be done. I will do more slower more deliberate tutorials in the future

Thanks
It's a good point, easy to do everything in C sometimes, in the next video I'll have a few more things in different keys, thanks for the suggestion!
This video is fantastic, thank you
Outstanding video❤
Great teaching , no frills only stuff. I would say this is real skill sharing. Blessings

Hmmm ... I'd better go and play boogie-woogie & blues )
Gonna do some simpler stuff next if you decide to give jazz a chance again ;)
As a piano teacher this is amazing to have, thank you!

I think, in the pdf file, 3rd row, the Co7 needs a Eb instead of E as a third (the R+3+7 chord)
THANK YOU for getting right into it, too many videos have long introductions
Love your videos, would love to see your approach to open/spread voicings, im struggling to get them.... Great stuff as always!
um… subscribed.
Wow I just wanted some left hand voicing and oh my did I get way more that that. I guess it’s time to get away from my rooted chords now lol. Amazing video thank you so much, you are sensational
