    Hey Julian,
    I used to be a professional (classical) musician most of my life. I’ve been to a professional music school, got private lessons, studied music science at a university here in Germany,..
    I changed my profession to Management couple of years ago but my heart will forever beat for music, so I continued playing on my own :)
    Playing jazz always seemed hard to me as a classical player so listening to your video and your calm and patient way of explaining helped me a lot. This video seems like the beginning of a new era to me. I will start applying your Tipps and technic. I’m happy I’ve found your video and that you didn’t start explaining everything about music from ground zero so people that have general knowledge like me can go further.
    Thanks a lot and much love from musician to musician ☺️👋🏼❤️

    I really appreciate how this tutorial is in the key of C Major! I can actually follow along! I'm not really familiar with other key signatures. Thanks!

    Great synopsis- I've been learning to play jazz for 10 months so it's good to see how much my theory has developed- plus I've identified a few new areas to work on.
    Great work, thank you.

    Actually, I came back to say the 9th, 11th and 13th are easily found if you memorized the triads. CEG, DFA, EGB, FAC, GBD, ACE, and BDF. CEG, then DFA one octave up is 9th, the 11th and 13th. Meaning the 9, 11, 13 is the 2nd triad one octave up in the major scale. I actually saw a teacher counting. Seriously!

      @toodsf1 4 года назад +9

      well yeah. So to find the extensions you just need the minor triad of the second scale degree. So in the key of C major you only need to know that D is the second note and then the notes of a D minor chord are the extensions, DFA.
      You don't need to think about those other triads

    What a wonderful teacher! You’ve done an excellent job at explaining the basics of luscious chords used by the great jazz pianists like Bill Evans, Keith Jarrett, Lyle Mays and too many others to name here. Even a musician other than a keyboard player can benefit from your “Jazz Piano Improvisation Explained …” since you’ve concisely explained some of the music theory basics in a way that anyone can understand , from the beginner to player with some experience, if they take the time to learn what you’ve presented. I can tell you like teaching. Great job 👏! Thanks 🙏!

    Thank you so much. I've played "by ear" or rather "self taught" over the years but always thought jazz would be almost impossible for me to learn. By watching this video a light is coming to my mind and started to believe and embrace a new level for me to play, jazz. Thank you, Mr. Julian Bradley.
