Hi Tony just want to thank you for these excellent video's which must take some time and effort to lace together. With modest ability and skill level I've played Flute for over forty years inspired by flutists such as Hubert Laws and the late Herbie Mann. Hubert Laws playing with pianist David Budway and pianist, keyboard player Rob Mullins. [ outstanding musicians ] After some months of viewing your videos I purchased some keyboards and I'm really enjoying the challenge and the full sound and scope that piano brings. Love all your Blues tuition and incorporating those Blues rifts whenever you can. I will be avidly following these broadcasts and your high skilled musicianship into the future and for me maybe after sometime and lots of work be able to play [ My Foolish heart ] Thanks so much Tony Gus, from New Zealand.
Thanks, Tony! Not my favorite song, but once again a stellar lesson. It's particularly nice to see what you're playing when you're comping to your singing. Also appreciate the tips on how to play differently without a base player. So many books and tutorials simply assume one has a base player handy.
Another wealthy information. I copied your free sheets from your channel. And I’m messing around w this particular piece. Also My Foolish heart. I’m applying what your teaching. And it’s making sense a lot. I’ve never understood the number systems but I’m learning a lot from you.
PS: I recently bought a lovely little French baby grand piano by "Gabriel Gaveau" new strings and tuning pins, new hammers and dampers. It has a bell like tone. it makes these cool chords sound really amazing. I love Eb for ballads but G seems to be a great key for swinging blues. I'll check your videos for good jazz/blues stuff but it's great to have a piano that really sings. It's one of those pianos that if you play a really big chord and hold down the pedal it starts to sound like a human voice harmony after a few seconds. Good test of a piano in my experience.
Mr Winston may I ask a question for your Block chords and Drop 2 video. why are we using Aflat in the key of C major? it sounds good but why can we call this manipulation legit? or how did we come up with that?
@@TonyWinston Thank you. after watching your video, i applied the same concept to all other versions of bebop scale with Db , Eb, F#, and Bb. i was able to construct 2 chords each for each version of 'bebop scales'. it was an eye opener. Thanks a million. I would like to add that until now these 2 chords was mostly explained as if they are 2 irrelevant chords which sound magically good. your video heloped me to see that we can simply construct these 2 chords from bebop scales. i call them bebop scales; all the 1 more note added major scales. the magic i observe happens trough converting the major scale and its modes into 8 note versions. the 7 note major scale actually is just one chord but these 8 notes provide us two 4 note chords that are not eachothers extentions. In my opinion; this creates a great deal of difference between jazz and blues sound by providing a sophisticated taste of jazz. the added note to bebop scales are no longer functioning as blue notes or passing notes only, but like a true member of a tone scale so that we can emphasise them better by constructing the corresponding chord featuring the added note. but again, your demonstration shows simple and clear that the 2 chords came from the scale. chord construction from the scale helps learning through. otherwise it becomes to more chords to memorise, without knowing what to do with them. with the help of your video i know see the whole tone scale or chromatic scale differently. Best regards, U.

Not my fav either. I actually edited out my comments.... I don't really like the song but girl singers seem to love it!

Abis part of the C major bebop scale. Not sure if that answers your question. Barry Harris explains it better than I do
