I give you a mega extended "Thank you" for all your work and your pedagogy. Your videos are rich and very inspiring. You are a great teacher. Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaank you very much!
Thanks for another great video, Oliver!!! You are an UNIQUE/EXCELLENT musician/teacher and the music lovers’ world needs your book/course/method!!! Please do it!!! Congrats/Blessings!!!
Hi and thank you so much for your very nice comment and your very generous voluntary “super thanks” donation - you help keep me going for sure!!! I'm very grateful :) :) :) Best regards from Oliver
Love thinking about extensions this way through maintaining the interval symmetry rather than octave symmetry! Really cool idea, certainly makes one think and listen
This is mind blowing! It's a 12 note chord based on a scale that runs through C Dorian and D Dorian intertwined with B Dorian to create an illusion of upper harmonics.. I studied jazz piano in college and stumbled across a similar pattern once while composing a melody but I did not know that all 12 notes could be part of the same chord. It would interesting to explore this chord and it's inversions in all 12 keys.
Fantastic new lesson which widens our horizons in variants of jazz music. Thank you very much, Maestro Oliver Prehn for your extraordinary effort while making these great lessons.
sometimes i think a lot about how you can improve your lessons and i struggle a lot... always easy to learn as possible, quick lessons, outstanding didatics alied with practical simple explanation and handgrips to use, and a very good exercise to memorize the technique learned. always masterclass. thanks.
This is crazy. You are a Great Teacher, thank you for for this piano Life transforming Video. I'm going to donate to support you, just to show my appreciation. Thanks once again.
Just Yesterday i picked up my piano for the first Time i moved my Studio/Home.. And you bring a new exciting Video. Good Timing, and welcome back Oliver!
Aside from the soft-spoken and hypnotic teaching/narration, the quality of both the audio and video is fantastic!! One can enjoy these videos even without ambitions to learn the lesson, but just for the joy of the music. Thank you, Oliver!
Now i saw the Video. And i Kiss your Soul, man.. It comes all together now. YOU learnd me whats about Music. Of course, my main Work will still be Rock, Funk (Jazz) and Pop. BUT YOU gave me a Island to escape from ALL the Crap of this beautifull World. THX man
What can I say?? It's probably all been said already.... Your stuff is just excellent!! I have no words really. I had piano lessons around an age of 16,17 wanting to learn jazz piano. This is now almost 30 years ago. I wish I had had your videos back then. I would have had no need to waste a lot of money on those comparedly useless teachers...... JUST AWESOME!!! Please keep going! Just sent you some €10 just for starters. Thanks a lot really. I appreciate it tons!! :)
Joe Sample’s “Fly With the Wings of Love” from his album “Joe Sample” uses this chord. I’ve been trying forever to figure out what he’s doing and now I know! Thanks, Oliver! ❤
@cvmcmanus3763 And also Larry Willians in the theme Midnight Sun acompaning to Al Jarrau in the 75 Birthay of Quincy Jones Celebrate Live at Montreux 2008, about 46 minute.
Nicely done! 2nd video I have watched by you. You sir, are a master teacher. A deep bow to you. I would make a donation - you so deserve it - but am currently between jobs . Keep it up. You are doing amazing work.
I love it when you do a refresher course from a previous tutorial. There's always a concept that becomes clearer in the new tutorial. Keep up the good work.
Fantastic. Your approach is incredibly fresh and inspiring, and it helps me understand things that I thought I understood from a new direction, so I end up going even deeper. Thanks!
Even tho I don't share the detail about the #17 (I'm that one guy the points out it as a natural, lol), this is certainly a beautiful and practical way of teaching this wonderful technique. Brilliant and genius as usual Oliver!
Oh love this sort of melodic freeness approach to music. The music which I play follows your approach. Oh. By the way, what on earth is this at 17:02-17:05? It's lovely!
Thank you so much :) :) :) That's the Ab 'Mixolydian #4' scale (Lydian Dominant) - then I slide from a black to a white key and play the G7 arpeggios... Cheers from Oliver
@@NewJazz I have no idea how you are creating these lines. That one in particular has some lovely warm flow. It looks like you are just playing anything, but I know from experience that there is some extreme knowledge hidden behind it. 🤣 My lines don't sound like this. My lines either merge together into one boring thing, or they are completely different without a nice joint. 🤣😭
In this playlist I've gathered all my lesson that shows phrases/licks (many times in slow motion) - and with sheet music. ruclips.net/p/PLd8gNAxPUcJxX_Dcw3rofHuRCIbYacKgN Maybe you'll find it useful... Warm regards from Oliver
Wow dear Oliver, but what happen with interval 15, that on chord Mayor extension must be 15#... for to build the eight degrees progression of each tonality? I remember to have had some explanation about this with you, several years ago...Don't you? Afterward we can build also the 5 cromatic chords, for example: Db15#= (db f ab c)+(eb g bb d) and so for... This is, I belive, a whole theory for to study yet, or at least, for some explanation it. When I must to write some harmonic arranger with eight notes without duplications, i.e. in a string background, I make it, like John Berry arranged the Dreamsville theme of H. Mancini with 4 trombon and 4 french hornes. It's the most modern complete technic of write tonal music for today
Ahhh, yes, I remember something for sure... many years ago. You really made me realize something important about chord expansions! "Not #1 but #15" you said, right? A fantastic good point! You make the relative Major chord out of the Mega Chord (we can choose 2 keynotes in this symmetry). Such a good point you have (once more) - I love that Major chord as well. In the Dorian minor version we have to go all the way up to the #29 step before we alter the keynote (as shown in the vid) ;) Many regards from Oliver
Oh, yes dear Oliver, thank you. I hope you'll be the unique teacher that get solution for a complete study showing the whole building of progression of the 8 diatonic degrees ascending and then the 12 cromatic degrees descending, with both only Mayor and minor extension chord until #15 or bequadre 15 respectively. No necessery more harmonic extension, because the new intervals up begin to duplicate or repeated one's Your work, it will be, sure, an epic lesson to finish de history of tonal harmonic evolution, from this borned in c. IX with the Polyphony. We need it that last great lesson by the best teacher of modern jazz in the world. Congratulation and many greetings, for everybody.
Hi :) Really good question. YES! You can do this on all the 7 Modes, it's just a matter of where you start the row of pentatonics in relation to the bass tone ;) Cheers from Oliver
Hi :) By the end of the lesson we use the Mega chord on a chord progression. The Mega chord is best suited for the Dorian Cmi7 chord. Cheers from Oliver
Regarding the use of this chord in a pop music context in combination with major chords, the first inversion of the Mega Extended Jazz Chord is based on a major chord. For example, when transposing the basic 18 note 'C' Mega Extended Jazz Chord from the lesson down a minor third to the 'A' Mega Extended Jazz Chord, the first inversion foundational triad is C major: [C E G] B D F# A C# E G# B D# F#A# C# E# G# B#. The first inversion can be utilized in a pop music context in combination with any of the major triads (and their extensions) that are contained within it: C, G, D, A, E, B, F#, C#. (It's possible to go beyond that because in theory, this chord could be extended up to 24 notes stacked in thirds before the symmetrical pattern repeats.) On a practical level, however, the combinations are increasingly dissonant when moving away from the root up through the circle of fifths.
Super! Thank you very much for lesson! Btw, can you suggest any modern piano composers which are really good for your opinion? Looking for some "successors" of Bill Evans style or so.
Oliver, I must agree with the comments here. You are truly unique and a highly professional sounding pianist. May I ask what piano and equipment you're using? I've never heard anything sound quite so magnificent.
I use this VST from Native Instruments: www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/keys/the-grandeur/ The midi keyboard is a Kawai VPC1 (but it could be any midi keyboard, the sound is the same). Cheers from Oliver

This guy is amazing. Kinda reminds me of Bob Ross. Painting jazz.
Amazing is an understatement
That's when you need that sustain pedal... awesome lesson, surprisingly simple chord, and beautiful handgrips to make it easy.

Good jass chord.
Mantap pak, salam dari jonggol bogor indonesia
I believe it's a quirk of equal temperament tuning? ;)
Yes. A good quirky point I think; we stretch out the chord so that it becomes consonant and "equal" all the way up... Thanks! Cheers from Oliver

does this Mega Jazz Chord idea work over other scales similarly?
Hi :) Really good question. YES! You can do this on all the 7 Modes, it's just a matter of where you start the row of pentatonics in relation to the bass tone ;) Cheers from Oliver
What about flat 17 is it included on piano
Yes, I'm sure b17 could be an option in some other kind of mega chord structure ;) Cheers from Oliver
Thank you for answering me
I want to play pop music chord. Can I use it? How do I do that when i play the major Chord.
