I have been wanting to learn jazz and other styles for quite some time and I think I've found my teacher. This video is exactly what I need. I have to go to work now and I can't wait to get back to try this.
"I wanna do a good job" Sorry sir, you didn't do a good job. You did a great job. I've been playing Blue Bossa for years and you gave me some interesting new ideas to explore. Many thanks! Subscribed!
Thanks so much! Unfortunately that's probably as complete as it will be for now 😥 The next video I am releasing will be a tutorial on Speak no Evil, which I am putting my full attention towards. I will be sure to put some fireworks in there for you, Ennio!
To be honest I'm still trying to figure that out. Were I able to go all-in on this channel I would like to have one segment per week on popular music that I would teach by rote, and another weekly segment for jazz studies. Those two areas seem to be what is most asked for. If you have ideas on how I could improve this channel I would absolutely love to hear them. I do appreciate good, honest feedback. Thanks for watching!
@@alejandrobernard_ the only thing i’ve been looking for forever, is somebody giving some sort of plan for the complete beginner. in terms of what to learn after what. To me it feels like all the information is mostly out there, but everything is contextless. So I’d love some sort of benchmarks to know what to “achieve” before moving on to the next. For me, every time i get back to try and learn the piano, i start with scales, because it feels like that’s what you’re supposed to start with. but, when to add new things to the practice? how well should i know scales before i do? what to add next? should one experiment with basic triads within a scale, while still not knowing the remaining scales? do you have to play all 12 major and 12 minor scales at 120 bpm in 16ths, before moving on to triads? this just leads to frustration, as i never know if i’m getting ahead of myself, or not moving at all. and in the end i just stop lol i hope this made sense somehow, but tldr is definitely just a video to keep referencing long term, where it says “learn A, B and C. once you have those down, look up D and practice that, while speeding up the tempo of B and C. Once you start with E, also go back to A, but in a different key”, etc. a long term goal plan if you will. ideally, while keeping jazz in mind long term. and btw, love your style of videos and playing. can't wait to be at a level to be able to follow along with more ease.
@@rautshsale1948 Thanks for taking the time to write this message. Yes, absolutely. Music is such a vast field that sometimes we can get lost in the ambiguity of it all and feel like we're not making any progress. I feel you on this! I think the video that you're describing would be really helpful to a lot of people. It probably would be some time before I would be able to make a video like this, but at the very least I can write you a detailed message that I hope will help keep you on the piano everyday! The Royal Conservatory has an awesome syllabus with great benchmarks. They have 10 levels, and each level has a repertoire, technique and musical skills section that outline what you need to be able to do to pass that section. It might be a good way to "keep you on track" so to speak. And if you can, having a private teacher to help guide you is always a good thing too! files.rcmusic.com//sites/default/files/files/RCM-Piano-Syllabus-2015.pdf And just from personal experience, I'd say it's good to remember that we are trying to make music. It's totally okay to be unbalanced as a musician (ie playing beautiful pieces even though scales may be weaker), and the better we get at sitting at the piano every day not because we are disciplined, but because we are excited at what's on the menu that day, we will inevitably see great progress and enjoy ourselves more. Thanks so much for the kind words. I hope that I can make some videos that will meet you right where you are :) -AB
@@alejandrobernard_ thank you for the detailed reply. I highly appreciate you mentioning the royal conservatory syllabus, and even for including the link! based on your description and after skimming through it, this appears to be great. you are absolutely right, although i see that as somewhat as a topic within it self - perfectionism, which affect more than just artists. trying to find peace to where one is (skill wise, musically speaking), is a skill within itself and it feels essential to be able to keep at it long term. finding joy within it, almost goes along the same lines, as that comes from noticing true progression and actually being able to have fun with it. thank you again :)
Hey everyone! Thanks for your patience. As always, please let me know how I can make these videos better for you. Enjoy!
I have been wanting to learn jazz and other styles for quite some time and I think I've found my teacher. This video is exactly what I need. I have to go to work now and I can't wait to get back to try this.
I'm honored! Please let me know what you think of my videos and if there is anything specific you'd like to learn 😊
Excellent overview of different approaches to a song (I used to say I could play this song - going to stop saying that after seeing this). What chops!
Thanks for this kind message 🙂 (And I'm sure you play great too!)
You are a good teacher keep posting more videos like this
i like the way of teaching very good you take your time to breakdown the lesson keep posting more videos like this godbless you forever
Thank you - I will! 🙌🏼
I’m teaching b bossa to a piano student. I’ve never taught jazz before and am winging it. This is wonderfully helpful thank you!! ❤
Glad I could help you out!! You'll do great ☺️
Absolutely brilliantly taught
Thank you so much Ian H! If there's another song you'd like to see done please let me know 🙌🏼
This is what i was looking for what kind of voicings to use behind a soloist thank you very much and GodBlessing
Love this tutorial. Awesome stuff. From the simple to the very complex. Just found your channel today and subscribed. You’re a great teacher.
Thanks so much! I hope you found the video useful. Please let me know if there is another lesson or tutorial you'd like to see 😊
10:24 Sick altered voicing. I'm gonna steal that. I think the sheet music gives a #5#9 sound instead of the b5#9 sound you played though.
Hey thanks! I love voicing the b5 towards the bottom of my chords sometimes. I have updated the PDF!
Thank you for explaining this piece in such an enjoyable manner👏
My pleasure! Thanks for watching :)
"I wanna do a good job"
Sorry sir, you didn't do a good job.
You did a great job. I've been playing Blue Bossa for years and you gave me some interesting new ideas to explore. Many thanks! Subscribed!

Blue Bossa, the first jazz standard that I learned. Your version at the end was incredible, when are we going to get the full version?
Thanks so much! Unfortunately that's probably as complete as it will be for now 😥 The next video I am releasing will be a tutorial on Speak no Evil, which I am putting my full attention towards. I will be sure to put some fireworks in there for you, Ennio!
i would love to know what you feel like your target demo is
what skills should one already bring to your channel?
To be honest I'm still trying to figure that out. Were I able to go all-in on this channel I would like to have one segment per week on popular music that I would teach by rote, and another weekly segment for jazz studies. Those two areas seem to be what is most asked for.

Absolutely brilliant
Is it possible that you can send a PDF of this lesson? That would be great
Hi! If you look in the description of the video there should be Google drive links that have all the sheet music in PDF files for free
oh, michel camilo. he is great.
Yes, I saw him once live in concert and it was excellent
You gotta play this for the jazz kids at SMA next year🤣
You never know! I just might 😉
