    Showing a figured bass line gets the fear of what key your in while promoting modulations. Adding a bit more Bach theory would assist your very delightful examples. I’d enjoy a printable version of exactly what you’re actually playing- nice work & please keep it coming.

    Frankly this is one of the best videos I have ever watched in YT. It is useful even for beginners because the information is coming little by little, and the player is not too worried about showing his obvious skills or overwhelm the viewer with his knowledge, he is just interesed in making the concepts understood gradually. This is a really pedagogical lesson. Ty a lot, it was awesome.

    Mr Piano Groove- 🏆🥇
    December8, 20
    TQ for taking the time to do this. “Autumn Leaves” was running through my head all this week for some strange reason. One of my Mom’s favorites. She passed away on December 31, 2005.
    She saw live: Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis, Modern Jazz Quartet, original Ramsey Lewis Trio, I think Ella Fitzgerald.
    I play guitar, and I like your Chet Baker style of this. It’s easy to follow. I’ll be reviewing this many times to fully understand the theory involved here.
    I understand that you have “Misty” and “ Over the Rainbow “ here as well.
    I’ve instantly subscribed. Period.
    Thank you for your 31:00 minute tutorial.

    There is another, simpler, and even easier to memorize way of looking at section A: it is such a great example of 4736251 progression - going down the circle of fifths through all the seven steps of the scale, all perfect fifths except one, one diminished 5th (6-2) has to be used in order to stay within the scale and to limit the progression to just 7 chords instead of 12. Actually, nothing to memorize at all. Just start at 1, then begin playing the melody while going down a fifth each time until you reach 1 again, dominant 7th chord @ 5 - who uses natural minor anyway? (1)4736251 sounds great in minor keys.

    I was trained in classical music when much younger (now in my 60's). I love this piece and can already play the 'normal-style' of (full) sheet music, with all the notes. Now, I'm trying to learn to play this lovely piece using these chords (w/your 'VERY high level' of 'modern chord language - yikes!) is really quite daunting. However, I'm trying to follow you - and this jazz version sounds beautiful. Chords seem very advanced. Now, I think I'm just getting stuck and very frustrated. :(

      I found it difficult also after playing classical for years. To me it’s a whole different ball game. It helped me a lot when I slowed down the video and try to pick apart the chords he played. This version he played so beautifully. I also love the Beeji Adair Trio Version. It’s similar to this but a bit faster.

    Great video! Do you have the sheet music that's in the music! It would be great to have!

    You’ve got the best videos! I’ll be subscribing to your piano app. Can I ask you what is your piano sound? Is it a VST? It sounds so beautiful along with your skilful arrangements.

    These lessons are brilliant. I did notice that the harmonies and even keys are different in the Real Book from your transcription. Not a big problem (or do I have the wrong version :-)
