Go INSIDE & OUTSIDE when improvising Jazz

- We'll create thrilling Jazz Piano Improvisation by ZAPPING "in & out" of the main tonality. We'll use only the first 3 and strongest fingers. In that way we make our musical playground more simple and easy. Simple Music is often the best Music!!!
This lesson will be a part of a bigger chunk of lessons, all about the '3 finger motor system'. Each lesson will introduce new applications - because it happens that we can use the 3 finger motor system in many different contexts when playing a Jazz solo. I'll gather all the lessons in this playlist: • The 3 Finger Motor System

Self improvement is a never-ending task.
Correct!!! :)
A ver old and genius cello player was once asked why he still practices his cello ever day and he replied “i think im making progress”
I would replace "task" with "journey". There are few things more satisfying than being able to do something today that I could not do yesterday. Especially when it comes to self expression!
Better one video per month with high quality than one video per week without real information.
Your videos are great.
Fantastic!! note that the out notes are good but only for little seconds so its clear that out playin is good in the middle of in playin, and for a little space of time! ciao from Italy
As always, this was a great lesson. You're really helping me break out of that classical pianist cage I've been in. Thanks so much. :)
Most helpful I have ever seen. Got me out of a big rut. Thankyou.
Haven’t even got halfway through and I think I found something real special here. Mainly a guitar player but I’m really wanting to play piano/keyboard/organ because I understand quite a bit of theory and it just seems fun and like I could do it. Your one of those secret goldmine channels, I can tell. Keep it up brotha!
Hi Oliver, I'm an amateur guitarist from Malaysia. I must say that you are one of the most generous and wonderful personI've had the pleasure of encountering on the internet. Your little lessons are pure gold. God bless and keep up the good work! You have a new Patreon subscriber here.
you are a gift to the world! I am so grateful for you. thank you for teaching us.
I let all the ads play, I'd drive so you could just continue to share all these amazing ways of understanding the keyboard. Thank you so much, Oliver!
Really love your content, man, keep up the great work!
You classes are so motivating it's unbelievable.
Always a pleasure learning from you Oliver! Thank you so much for what you do. Send him money to help, everyone!
Realy, you are great ..... thank you, so much ♥
The Master of Jazz improvisation returns!
Wow! Incredible again! Thank you Oliver!
Hi Oliver, Each month I'm amazed at your musical and creative imagination. Developing technique, learning the minor blues scales, and most of all learning to improvise while having a ton of fun! Thank you once again for your generosity and for creating a great time on the "musical playground". Warmest regards to you too!
Oliver! You’re the best bus driver and great educator at the same time!!! Thank you, maestro!
great great great great great great lesson. it's unbelievable. Gracias
Thank you Oliver! You're awesome! It's good that I have one month to practice until next lesson ;)
Great! I think it's important for us new people too! At the moment I have so much of your material to go though. I practice every day. I'm getting there!!!
Thanks a lot for sharing this. It's perhaps the most intuitive and comprehensible introduction to playing outside!
That's a fantastic lesson for any musician, not just keys, thank you so much!
The amount of patience and hard work that went into editing this lesson video is astounding. Thanks Oliver.
I have always wanted to understand the 3 fingers motor system. I never thought it was so simple. Thank you for this.
Very clever approach! Await anxiously the next lessons!

You’re awesome! Thanks!
congratulations for the video and thank you for these pearls you give us. I am also a bus driver and musician by passion. My instrument is the sax. Soon. Fabio🎷🎷🎷
Thank you, Oliver.
Regulars of course will know that you are not emphasizing the first 3 fingers for the first time. pentatonic and blues scales and their transitions were very well put in your lessons through the same technique.
if I may add another important benefit of your 3 finger grip as the main motor, in addition to being the strongest fingers, these fingers also show us the way. they naturally lead us into pentatonic, blues, or modal improvisation. the practice will automatically switch to other tonalities. the grip for this key becomes a module, for another, to be used either inside and or outside providing never-ending possibilities.
Regards,
U.
Exactly!!! You are phrasing out the point very clearly (much better than I do haha). Thanks for your input!!! Cheers from Oliver
@@NewJazz Questions...
is there a use of these 3 finger patterns all in flattened version?
@@thezenbum Maybe you can elaborate a little???
@@NewJazz lets say staying all notes in the key of C. CEF GBC DFG ACD EGA BDE FAB… and for outside all in key of C#. I mean throw them in at times i am fluent this way too but is there a use for it. does it make any sense?
@@thezenbum Yes!!! You can of course alter the hand grips all that you want - whatever makes sense to you. That's the idea about using hand grips actually ;) In this other (quite old) lesson we do stepwise grips if you should be interested: ruclips.net/video/ayTl-VF6-nk/видео.html
Çok teşekkürler keşke yayınlarınız da türkçe dilde olsa harikasınız iyiki varsınız
Thank you so much! as always handgrips are so efficient!
Thank you sr.for share ur knowledge 🙏🎹🙏
Love your content and appreciate it so much. Have to check for more beginner tips and techniques to learn here cause this is above my level by miles ha! Keep it up!
Do you ever just "lose it", Oliver? Of course you do. What I mean by "lose it" (I think that expression is American slang) is that your technique vanishes and you play with total abandon. you have to acquire the chops (slang for technique) before you can "lose" them. The rest is a matter of soulfulness...another concept so difficult to define yet so essential to what we do. To put it all together, we want to "lose it soulfully" while we play. To perform with complete abandon while subsuming a vast set of information and skills. THAT is the highest form of virtuosity.
Yes - correct!!! Often when I practice I play a strict exercise for about, let's say 30min and then I "lose it" the final 15 min... Cheers from Oliver
thank you
Maja sir so so super sir, keep teaching sir
Brilliant
saya dari Indonesia, dan nonton chanel ini sangat bagus, saya belajar banyak tehnik jazz yang sederhana dan mudah dipelajari, terus berkarya dan memberikan semangat untuk para musisi pemula maupun yang sudah expert. Tuhan memberkatimu Mr. Olivia.
Thank you, Oliver, for sharing and so nice to see your video again, actually, I have been waiting. lol :)
Thank you so much - I had a little vacation. Now I'm back with new energy ;) Cheers from Oliver
excellent
Joe Henderson In and Out
Gràcies!!
Tak for videon 🙂
That's great! This is definite step up for me. But at 6:48, going through those runs, it is not at all immediately apparent how to move fluidly between each of the three hand grips introduced at 5:09. Repeating a note as you shift from grip to grip is a start, but you move quickly beyond that into 6:48.
Hi and thanks :) Later on I'll add some videos to the chunk with "licks" in slow motion and with sheet music and everything. But it'll take a while before we get there... I hope you have patient with me... Cheers from Oliver
got to get in to get out
Hahaha, YES! Cheers from Oliver
Seriously amazing stuff. Do you make these methods yourself?
Thanks a lot :) And yes - this is how I play ;) But I believe others play/improvise in the same way - it's just a question about explaining what's going on... Cheers from Oliver
Wow I'm so intrigued and I can't wait to see more with the next videos :) I always heard that some great pianists (like Erroll Garner, Art Tatum, Nat Cole...) used to play their solos with only three fingers. Is that the same fingering you plan to teach us here? also, isn't this a paradigm shift from your previous lessons? (I think about the "pentatonic grip"). Anyway, best YT channel ever!! Thanx!
Hi and thanks a lot. Well, please note that one of the 3 finger hand grips in use is actually just the start of a pentatonic grip - we just skip the 4th and 5th finger ;) For example the hand grip c-eb-f (and we skip g and bb).
I don't know how exactly Erroll Garner and the others did it - but I also heart that they occasionally used only 3 fingers. I also noticed that Oscar Peterson did that ;) Cheers from Oliver
@@NewJazz Yes exactly! But not just "the start", if we look at the 3 grip positions as a whole, then we have the full pentatonic (+ the blue note!) This is why I was wondering if this new series of lessons was not a new paradigm :-) A new way to play pentatonic scales (or blues scales). With more "pieces" in the puzzle. As we know that if we cut into small pieces, we are more likely to have a "fresher" playing. Less chances to have the same boring solos over and over again (just like the pentatonic grip was already a great way to avoid playing up / down the "standard" pentatonic scales)
@@TheJeffibox Exactly; you can divide the pentatonic hand grip into a 3 finger hand grip placed at 2 positions. And if you add the chromatic hand grip in the middle you've got the blues scale. Using only 3 fingers have some benefits compared to the 5 finger pentatonic hand grip. We can for example play faster and more simple. But adding the two last fingers is also a good thing, occasionally. What I want to show, as we move forward, is that the 3 finger hand grip can function as a motor - a mental motor for improvisation so to speak. When the 3 fingers are up and running it becomes quite easy to add the 4th and 5th finger as well ;) Cheers from Oliver
@@NewJazz Yes, this is how I understood the purpose of these future lessons. Awesome! I can't wait to learn more. Thank you so much! ;-)
Hi Oliver. I had to buy a Car cause my home has no Busdriver like you around. I buyed a Smaet ForTwo Passion (2007) with a 3 cylinder Machine with a consum of around 4.4l/100km. What i didnt know that this Engine has 81 PS for 800kg. But its like a Gocard. Like your 3 Finger Engine;)
Interesting and well done as usual. So eg when you move to Ab I thought you also need to play Ab in the left hand? Not so it seems here. Just keep rolling along on G and the variations on right hand gel ok?
Exactly ;) Cheers from Oliver
May i know what piano brand/model you are playing . Thank you ....Greetings from Sgp
Hi :) I use this VST from Native Instruments: www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/keys/the-grandeur/
The keyboard is a Kawai VPC1
Cheers from Oliver
First...
Thank so much
But please try and break things down for us
Thanks 🙏🏾
Hi and thanks :) Later on I'll do some videos with licks and phrases if that's what you mean. But I can only manage to do one vid every month and it'll take a while before we get there. I surely hope you have patience with me... Regards from Oliver
So basically side stepping right?
Guitarist by the way.
Yes ;)
I was missing your calls...
I'm back after a little vacation ;) Cheers from Oliver
Could you put the subtitles in Spanish to the video please? :(
Hi :) You can turn on the English subtitles in the video settings and choose ‘auto translation’ to any language you prefer, for example Spanish ;) But I think the auto translation is only available on PC and not mobile phones and pads… Cheers from Oliver
thank you
