DUDE thanks again. I'm 30, have been waiting forever for the right time to dive head first in music and now is the time. I'm an absolute beginner studying piano every day. This is my access to education right here, so thank you heartfully. If all goes according to the plan I'll get famous one day and spread the word about your work lol cheers
I found your videos 5 years ago and they inspired me to write and play music. I've been doing it since. Using everything I've learned from your videos has brought me countless hours of joy over the years. Thank you for your videos
Excellent introduction to jazz improvisation based on very easy-to-comprehend building blocks (or ingredients). With over 30 years of jazz piano performance/composition/arranging behind me, I know how daunting it all seems to the beginner. This course looks like a good way for anyone to gain access to this wonderful idiom.
the only material i found which shares the mystery of Jazz. i’ve been struggling with Jazz learning by myself , this really helps me to pave the road. thx for the great lesson👍🙏👏🥰
You're the best! This video was extremely helpful in putting my overwhelming and often confusing jazz piano practice into a well-structured explanation of the order one can learn jazz as well as learn a piece. I love the layering technique that you shared!
Thanks so much for this. I’d been trained in classical piano but have been improvising over chord progressions for a few years now. You’ve just given me a way to organize and progressively develop my skills so I can play how I want to. Thank you! More please!
Love this so much. Thanks a lot for sharing. I was learning Satin Doll, Take The A Train and Jack Blues with my jazz piano teacher. I’m currently learning Autumn Leaves. And I’m so grateful to find your tutorial besides learning with my teacher(s) of course. And you’re one of my online jazz piano teachers on RUclips. 😍💕
Outstanding lesson. Appreciate the clear step by step approach and the examples. I've gotten more guidance here than anywhere else on how to use my fakebooks. Thanks!
Very informative and easy to digest, really loved it, THANK YOU! Wish this had come up on my feed earlier but never too late I guess ;) In my opinion you deserve well over 100k views, there are a lot of beginners out there who could benefit from material like this.
I would love to see a continuation of this video that adds some of those further layers of complexity that you mentioned (passing chords, substitutions, etc) to these same tunes!
That's going to be a monster of a video. The problem is there are so many possible alterations you can make it can get quite overwhelming very quickly. But I'll think on it and see if there's a good way to present it.
I hear ya. Personally I'd love just to see how to incorporate passing chords, 2-5-1s, and maybe some fills. They way you structured this video was phenomenal (as always). It made perfect sense to me. So all I'm saying is there's a whole lot of very worthwhile exploration you could demonstrate if you felt so inclined 😊. Thank you for your vids. You truly have a gift for knowing how to break down and present concepts in the smartest way
Around the 12:00 minute mark, while explaining rootless chords, you use a Cm9 as an example. Seems like the rootless form of that is just an EflatM7, no? What's the difference?
WOW I’m a jazz musician and never knew it. I taught myself to play piano but can give you a tune on pretty much anything. Sometimes I get a little bit to complex while playing with other people but they’re usually “cover band” musicians and I’m more...🤔 jam.? That’s why I love Jazz...a recent occurrence...It’s ordered chaos. Great Lesson...Thanks!
It's just the lead sheet from one of the original real books. You can find most of them online. Here's a link to the Autumn Leaves lead sheet I was using: www.scribd.com/document/357698281/Autumn-Leaves-in-G-minor-pdf
A really great video, extremely helpful, thank you. In Autumn Leaves, I was interested in the way you voiced the Amin7b5 followed by the D7 - you seemed to use 3-b5-7-b9 for the Amin7b5 and then 7-b9-3-5 - is this correct? I've been wondering how best to voice rootless min7b5 chords in particular, any pointers would be great
Yep, that's correct. What I'm doing is technically incorrect, as a b9 is not an 'available tension' over a m7b5 chord, but I find the nat9 creates too much dissonance when using rootless voicings (because you effectively create a mMaj7 chord - C Eb G B). Then for voice leading purposes play a diminished substitute for the D7 (C Eb F# A).
No I don't, sorry. I do have the info up on my website though, which you can print to pdf. www.thejazzpianosite.com/jazz-piano-lessons/jazz-chord-voicings/playing-jazz-piano-beginner-advanced/
Cheers for the Video! Sorry for butting in, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you ever tried - Riddleagan Smart Hands Remedy (do a google search)? It is an awesome one off product for learning piano fast without the hard work. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my mate finally got excellent results with it.
Kudos for the Video clip! Excuse me for chiming in, I would love your thoughts. Have you tried - Riddleagan Smart Hands Remedy (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is a smashing one off guide for learning piano fast minus the normal expense. Ive heard some super things about it and my mate finally got excellent success with it.
I feel genuinely bad that you’re not more popular. This is great
Thanks mate :)
Thanks!

Very instructive video, upvote! (Realised you got real big hands covering one and a half octave lol)
You didn't cover improvisation at all in that layering
Yeah, I've got a separate video on 'How to Improvise - Beginner to Advanced'
