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
Wow!! The left hand in jazz piano has been a bit of a mystery to me, finally a video that gives a thorough and understandable introduction! Also knowing the techniques are coming from bud powell, Monk etc. gives it a lot more credibility than someone just Throwing voicings at you, great work!! You are well deserved of my first yt comment in ten years haha
buddy, Ive been watching A LOT of videos on jazz piano, and this one, I can tell you my bro, it's making my mind expanse in a exponential way, THANK YOU for this invaluable information, I feel really thankfull piano sauce🙏 .
This is a really deep lesson. I've been playing for 30 years and I'm almost struggling to keep up with your language without hitting the replay button. Good stuff and different way to think about stuff.
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
Sam you are the MAN! Finally I can play music from my Real Books thanks to your generosity and kindness, not to mention brilliant pedagogy with music theory for beginners and others. Once I am comfortable with the basics you have so clearly demonstrated in your videos, I hope to setup a video meeting with you to start zoom lessons. Keep up the amazing videos my friend 😊
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
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 ;) )
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 :)
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 !!!
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!
So incredibly useful and informative. One small correction for your cheatsheet PDF: the last bar of line 1, Bud Powell shells for Co7, should have as its upper voice not an A♭, but an A♮ (and, of course, the ♮ doesn't need to be written in, since we're already in the key of C).
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.
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!
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 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
It was explained to me that ear training would be the first method to understand these chords. It would be impossible to remember all these structures without knowing how they sound.
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)
A few years ago, I created a prototype of a web-based music software. The goal is to teach piano accompaniment techniques for either solo piano (right hand plays melody with left hand pattern) or for accompanying a singer (right hand fills). It lets the student "audition" or "preview" a certain style in a song of their choosing; if they like how it sounds, they can print out the sheet music to practice it, or export the MIDI or notation file. The program can generate *walking bass lines, stride, and ostinato patterns,* with more advanced things to be added in the future. How does it differ from "auto accompaniment" software? That software is intended to emulate a back-up band, but this software is intended to teach a student how to use the left hand so that he doesn't need a back-up band. This software runs on a web browser so the user can try it immediately without having to install anything, and the interface is clean and easy to use. The student would enter the chords and (optional) melody, and choose a style, and the program would generate the appropriate notes. He has full control of how and when to apply the styles, with separate left and right hands, and can assign a style to any part of the song. So he may want the song to start with just the right hand playing block chords for the first 4 measures and then add a left hand and then in the chorus have a more complicated style, etc. Is this something you would be interested in?
Hey codatech First off let me say I'm super impressed with what you've made, totally on board with what it aims to teach people how to do, and I would love to see it. The preview function especially sounds very useful. I'm not sure if I would use the 'work out the part and print it out' function, with my students in the vast majority of cases, because I teach my students how to do stuff based on theory knowledge, and then learning to improvise using that theory. If I give them the dots, they don't need to learn the theory or how to improvise, which I think is the most important bit. But I'd still love to see the tool, it sounds awesome, and would be very useful to me. I'm also really interested in using software to teach people. I'm in the middle of designing some courses, and I'd love some software to help students spot and rectify their own mistakes, as that's a big part of my teaching that I'm trying to work into my courses. I'd love to do a zoom call with you and chat about that stuff, let me know if you think you'd have time for that :) Cheers! Sam.
@@codetech5598 Ok no worries, go to my site, pianosauce.com, and book a free consultation and that will just put a zoom call in my calendar, maybe put a note that it's codatech or something, let me know if you have any problems!
@@piano-sauce I already went to the site about two hours ago and sent an email to the address on the page. I gave links to two RUclips videos showing the short demo.
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 :)

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.
Even if I know most of these, having this reference is amazing, a good refresher and good place to base ideas off
The best tutorial about Jazz piano I've seen so far.
this is probably the best video i’ve ever seen on youtube i wish i could like twice
thanks so much dude! Will be more like this in the future, making a course at the moment!

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!
Thanks a lot. Please make more videos about jazz piano , bebop and improvise
