Fantastique! I'm a beginner and the early part of the video is just what I need to advance in a self-teaching book in which I'm having some trouble incorporating the Charleston rhythm in my left hand. The entire voyage from beginning to a proficient player in 13 minutes and 10 seconds. Bravo!
I love the approach. 69 years old and playing piano for approx 65 of those. Did not get a good grounding in jazz, though I have plugged away at it. It's endless ...
Josh, I've bookmarked this webpage because there's too much new stuff for me to absorb in one viewing, I'm somewhat classically trained rather than jazz trained, its a hard transition !!! there was a time I did Hanon finger exercises for a couple years forwards and backward and in all 12 keys to improve my finger independence and coordination and get a better feel for the different keys, now I think I should repeat that with your rhythm oriented exercises
Hello, Josh! Thanks for the video. I have recently started practicing again and bought one of Jesús Molina's reharm courses, but I felt like my stuff needed much more work than just harmony and hip chords. Heck, I don't even know if scales and all that fancy stuff is necessary, but this video reminded me of the importance of rythm. I must put this newly gained knowledge to practice so I can finally improve!
Recently retired - so going to try Jazz for first time - was trained classically 40+ years ago in piano but haven't played in 40+ years so any tips on scale practise or any other tips would be really helpful - I think back and Hanon's Virtuoso Piano exercises was what I did back then but it seemed more like a training mechanism to co ordinate my left hand with my right hand - any tips would be great - subscribed thanks
Hanon is fantastic for technique, no matter what genre you play. So that's great. I like Oscar Peterson's book of Jazz Etudes too. Same idea, but more in the jazz language. Glad to have you here!
@@JoshWalshMusic Thank you for sharing your talent, and hard work. I just had more insight, and inspiration from your video than I currently possess … period. Sincerely thank you. 🌱
Loving the advice of upgrading two-note 3rd&7th chords to 3-note chords starting with the 9th...these chords are giving me Dr. John vibes 🧙♂️

Excellent, but I'm not quite clear on one thing: do you need to stay in the pocket?
Yep. “Don’t mean a ding if it ain’t got dat swing” 💃
Best newbie piano video I ever seen and listen to.
Thank you!
This is really "SOUND" advice, thanks! 🎶

Endless is right! Ive only been playing 30 years, but good to know I'll still have more to explore in 35 more. Thanks for the comment.
Such a great instructional video Josh, full of gold approach and tips. In the pocket! 😁🎹👌🏻
This is one of the most useful piece of advice I ever found. Thanks!
Thank you!
This is great, Josh! I’m a horn player who is trying to get comfortable on piano, and this is super helpful. 😁🙌
Awesome. I played trombone professionally back after college, but keys is my real passion.
Really good advice. Paul David's latest vid on Bossa Nova playing is a good complement to this.

I almost titled this video “5 years of practice in 15 min” because it’s deceptively challenging. Keep at it!

Awesome tutorial!
Sorry Josh, I always press like as soon as I open one of your videos 😄 Looking forward to the new soloing course!
Awesome. Hope to see you on the next livestream too. That was fun.
Love the video! Super well done communicated. Pardon my ignorance - what’s the tune you’re playing through the bulk of the video?

Very interesting!! Can I ask you what camera you use?
Thanks Pablo. The face camera is a Canon R6 with a Sigma 16 mm f/1.4 lens. The overhead camera is a GoPro Hero 11.
@@JoshWalshMusic thanks for the info. Keep the amazing work!
I love that you play to a drum groove and not a metronome click 👍
Depends on what I’m practicing, and how much I want to annoy my family.
The titel should have been something with the word 'pocket'..
My friend’s last name is Walsh. He’s a good dude.
Most of us are. Haha.
Cool!
DON’T FALL OUT OF THE POCKET!
I’m disappointed that you didn’t speak melodically while you explained this.
I thought about it, lol
