It's very comforting to see someone as skilled as this man reiterating basic concepts. Makes me appreciate the less than glamorous parts of practicing piano.
Jordan is amongst the few onest teachers that gives you all possible information to really learn and don't expect anything in the return
Because he knows some cant do it anyway😂

Transcriptions of Oscar Peterson and Art Tatum left-hand improvisations have helped me a lot with realizing the possibilities. Also, pianists like Erroll Garner embody a left-hand style that feels rich and powerful. Stride piano is a league of virtuosity of its own.
oscar peterson's initials are OP for a reason
@@G8tr1522 and his late great bassist also had the initial NHOP, and Oscar's middle name was Emmanuel.
I've been playing 48 years now although I lost the ability to play 37 years ago, I've spent these last many years relearning how to play. I lost coordination of my left hand and lost the ability to play by ear and by memory due to head trauma accident. First goal was learning to sight read music which I was never trained to do but I'm probably 60% proficient but a long ways to go. As for left hand, instead of grabbing for a root notes, I mainly concentrate on playing various chord inversions because if I have to look for my hand, I loose my place in the music. I do play two songs (out of the many hundreds I have) which are helping me somewhat with left hand bass control (It's Hard For Me To Say I'm Sorry - Chicago, Don't Stop Believing - Journey) but I'm just not there yet. Having just turned 58, I'm thankful that I still can play as I cannot imagine my life without there being a piano, just can't do it. Having the ability to play a musical instrument is the greatest gift of all.
Your story is remarkable, I admire your tenacity and resilience. Keep pushing your sight reading, the hard work is worth it.
Everything you are saying makes good sense to me.
I would add that, even playing single note lines, the LH can be a huge support to the RH, and it can also be the lead voice, playing like a cello.
If I couldn't play jazz piano anymore, I would not know how to live.
Wonderful! Just started with some old folk in a rest home. Many think it's past the, but with stories like yours to inspire them, hopefully they'll find new hope
when this man starts to teach something, its even lovely to hear his voice teaching techniques. a real master...
"The feel" and "The throw" - thanks for so lucidly prising apart these two concepts. It really helps define the difficulty of "it's difficult" into precise aims, helps us work out what strategies might be best.
I also notice that your left hand sets "The claw" (?). Right at the start of a jump from a low note, the fingers fix in a microsecond into the shape of the chord, so all you need to do when you get to the location is drop it down (like potato printing).
The challenge is to keep an iron grip on the geography of the left hand in a way that it's not tugged out of its tramlines by what the right is doing. (I'm re-learning Chopin's delightful 4th Scherzo and it has a lot of that in it So your insights are very welcome!)
Each Time i watch a Jordans vidéo i learn something i Can immediatly work and integrate to my play
Good tips on stride piano. Thanks for posting.
Many thanks for this!
I really wrestled with my left hand until I spent a few years learning classical piano. I still am limited by my left hand, but I gained the independence I needed to start branching out and expanding my abilities. This was a super lesson, thanks so much Jordan! I remember another lesson you said to keep your hands floating above the keys which has helped me so much! Thanks for sharing!! ❤
Great video. And I love the whole backdrop. Creates such contrast. Fitting.
A very informative ..thank you for this...
Jordan always inspires me.
great instructional Jordan! Thanks so much!
These are all excellent advices and tips. Very educational.
Waaaoooo master !!! wonderfull !!!
Very strong insights sir, thanxz for teaching. Also, you are expert. If only I could play like ye do some day...
Thanks 🙏 from both my right and left hand
This is amazing
Interesting...thank you master❤
Amazing thank you for the wonderful lessons
As a guitar player it always felt obvious that the hands and fingers shall feel the intrument. Somehow, it never occured to me the same principle applies to the piano. This gives me much hope to ease and improve my playing. Thank you so much!
For me, the real lesson starts at minute 4:00. I can incorporate this in my practice. Good stuff!
Perfect
you rock. subscribing. thx
Thanks 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Amazing that he used to play Litz, it has been said that in order to play Litz pieces (some of the most demanding piano compositions in the piano repertiore), the keyboard/piano must be an extension of your own body. Incredible lesson, from a true pianist virtuoso.
Liszt
Well, Jordan Rudess is, in fact, one the best keyboard players in the world, because he developed both an incredible technique in both of his hands as well as the musicality of it. In one interview, he said that his fingers are almost equally trained and they are as strong as 10 steel cables. If you develop your hands and fingers like that, then almost everything is possible on the piano - including playing Liszt beautifully and skillfully.
Great Sir
Music is Meditation
Very good tips. I am going to give it a try, although I don’t see myself ever reaching that level of efficiency. Won’t hurt to try.
The only way to expand is by going for it, keep practicing until you can do it. At the end of it, I believe my brain will seperate and act like my two hands ..lol. Thank you for sharing this excellent lesson. You are an incredible musician.
When this guy enters a room the pianos say “OH CRAP”!
Awesome video sir. Learnt a lot from it. Thank you so much and God bless you sir.
Jordan: I just came up your video about left-hand technique on the piano. Very good and useful. I've subscribed to your channel. But you should got some nice, big hands. Mine are squeaky.
Pretty sure the translation in your comment has made it absolutely hilarious. Big hands = not squeaky lmao
Interesting Stevie said he brushed the black keys to guide him to go anywhere any key.
My teacher uses to say that one doesn't have 2 hands with 10 fingers each, but 1 hand with 20 fingers. Great video by the way
You've been "re learning" longer than I've been alive. 😮
That overkill of Em to Am was so unexpected
Simple Is Relative
someone once said: if the left hand can do it, let this switch/learn to the other hand...... big wise words
Does anyone know the name of the Liszt's piece he's playing at 2:22 ?
I think it's from Hungarian Rhapsody 11 (S. 244)
Seen from above, it’s like Nosferatu is having a good time ! 😅 Very much Thanks for the tips though !
building up the left hand to that level is difficult for a lot of us, and where most just stop because it is like going back to ABC's and starting over when the right hand is so much further ahead.
I've always sucked at stride . I feel like I get a bit better at it every 5-10 years 🤣
Stevie didn't have to wonder
Jumping, practise some waltzes or go indeed for ragtime or stride.
Rudess is too good it’s impossible to learn from him as a beginner..😂😂😂
I don’t think so, I started piano a week ago and from a technical standpoint he’s just glossing over on tips for better left hand movement and accuracy which is really helpful and seemingly forgotten to a lot of people. As someone new to piano I find it really helpful
Exactly
The few videos I have witnessed from him sends my gate keeper packing. So long as one is willing to keep an open mind when they enter the door, there is "always" something one can grasp. This might be like watching "Intersteller" for the first time thinking you might have made the connection to the theme when in fact you find that maybe, just maybe, another viewing might be so that one can start to find the reasoning, then logic, and possibly the story line. If one wants more, start looking at why the movie industry reaches out and explores concepts not yet imagined or found and exploits these concepts for a trial run onto the public. We must first have the openness of thought processing to visualize how we perceive then move on to the next level. Everyone learns differently, but most folks, percentage wise, will learn fastest by seeing, then doing. The hand, mind connection is again, different for all.
The little train motto.....I think I can......I think I can, will be the guiding light motto should all else fail.
He, as any who have progressed through their careers, started somewhere. I myself see him as the next stepping stone to my progression of thought, mindfulness, & study. Can I achieve his level of mastering this instrument, not in the time I have left on this planet but yet his tutorial speaks volumes. Why? I am a sponge.....!
just
The sooner pianists learn to trust their ears and their hands, more than their eyes, the sooner they can progress quickly in this kind of music, and play what they really feel. Seems to me that the colleges teach jazz pianists to think too much and stare too much.
That's all very well if your hand is big enough to stretch an octave.
korg 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Fasttttt💥💥
I'm a lefty. A lot of what you've said has been easy to get " under my belt". Generating a bass line still knocks me outa' melodic space. Totally stuck. Maybe I should jus' play bass?
1:05 made me do a stank face
Yea im definitely going to have to sit at the piano and transcribe that left hand pattern. Very interesting way to make the left hand sound like it's pulling all the melody
I discovered the best way to use my left hand when I was 14, the right hand holds the phone
Look at Nahre Sol for this.
So much better explained
Love her
nice techniques, but i only have two octaves keyboard, hahaha
He's playing on a high end digital piano so anything he plays will sounds
He also seems to be playing on a high end mind though.
He play work large permits gods music
he can also just as easily make it sound bad by playing bad notes. he is skillful ++++
He could play on a $200 40 year upright and you'll still think it sounds good. The instrument is only 10% of it. And a korg kronos isn't really "high end" , more of amid range board.
KRONOS was happy he did only 127 Notes at the same time 😂😂😂😂😂
Dude this is directed towards intermediate and advanced players
Dude this is directed to be a advance player !
Excuse me while I go stare at my keyboard
I came here to learn and then drowned by his voice
I’m more of a gospel/ contemporary gospel pianist/ organist is the concept the same
90% flexing and the rest 10% is educational
Las repeticiones que habrás hecho para tener esa precisión y rapidez!!😊
😑😑😑😑😑😑
