I am extremely grateful for this video on almost a spiritual level. As a musician, I've played with doubt and insecurity, but this year as my resolution, I vowed to be more positive minded about my craft. Since then, the theory I've taken years ago is making sense and opening my eyes. I started messing around by playing different chords on the root third and 5, so a C Major, E Minor, and G major over a C. Then, in another session, I was practicing in Bb Minor and realized if I kept my melodic tonal center on F, I'd achieve a Phrygian sound. Then coming across this video and it's applications of Pentatonics on various scale degrees just combined those two concepts I was working on into 1 package AND its the sound that I've always wanted to achieve as a musician. THANK YOU for indirectly being a part of my musical awakening! ❤🔥🎹😊
Hey, a new jazz piano RUclipsr! If you are looking for new content, I’d love to see a beginner jazz improv tutorial. Something low having with only a few harmony chords. Great job on these vids. Looking forward to others!
There are only 3 chords in this lesson (just different scale choices) but I will keep that in mind going forward! The beginner-focused content will be coming soon ish :)
Oh, actually you are totally right. The melody is not that complicated in these examples. Looking forward to more beginner content nonetheless! Lot of potential on your video format. Calm and theory oriented and the video setup is also very clear. It’s easy for me to pause the video and see what you are doing exactly.
Thank you and glad to hear that. I'm not sure what you're referring to exactly and I would have no idea why that is happening. I'm sorry I can't be of more help. I do plan on upgrading the production quality in the future which will hopefully resolve this issue.
You can if you want, or not! You can be specific for each chord and show detail, or take more of a key center approach (one scale that would fit over a series of chords). For example. If you stuck with only E minor pentatonic over a 2-5-1 to C major (Dm7 G7 Cmaj7) or the E In-Sen pentatonic (from Part 3) which could technically work just fine, but it will be a pretty vanilla sound harmonically. For beginners, you might take that approach. In Jazz you can be as detailed (or not) as you want, it's up to you.

Enjoying your lesson. I have lost the transcrip to the right showing eveything you are demonstrating after downloading . How do I get that back?

So each time you switch chords within a particular key, is it right to adjust the right hand to play a pentatonic that matches with that chord?
You can if you want, or not! You can be specific for each chord and show detail, or take more of a key center approach (one scale that would fit over a series of chords). For example.
