Hi dear fellow Musicians :) This playlist is a collection of NewJazz lessons that all show different approaches on how to play and improvise over the very same chord progression as used in the lesson above (a standard sequence of fifths in Emi): ruclips.net/p/PLd8gNAxPUcJzqwqL21s9NExEKpk14bglb Enjoy :) Many regards from Oliver Prehn
I just wonder those 19 people who put a dislike, do you even want MORE than this?! This master explains things at the cleanest level, and you actually learn months/years of improvising in one lesson. Try say I'm wrong. This is by far the best teacher you can find on the tube.
Oliver, you definitely are if not the best jazz piano teacher, one of the best jazz piano teachers ever. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom with us.
You are capable to make me feel like I could open my own jazz school and to pretend be a teacher just only telling day by day what you have explained in all new jazz lesson. You awesome
Oliver - I have two little kids 9 and 5 who I am now teaching Jazz to from your lessons. You are having a big impact. 11:46 into the video is a great moment.
Oliver I have watched 3 or 4 of your video's and they were fantastic, You have a very unique way of teaching and want to continue supporting you . I in for the long hall, I really appreciate your commitment to give so much for so little. thank you and may God bless you in many ways RayBone
Oliver, tu es un génie. J'ai du mal à suivre tout ce que tu dis, mais quand on t'entend jouer, cela donne des frissons. Tes progressions sont remarquables, je me réjouis de me remettre à jouer à partir de ta première leçon. Merci pour ton expertise de l'improvisation.
You are by far one of the most clear and great teachers i've ever watched. What an awesome lesson. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the rest of us mortals!!!
Mr. Prehn, I've been wanting to learn to play jazz piano my whole life but I've never taken the time to do the work. I'm loving learning this with you. You're so positive and clear and I'm can see progress every day. Thank you. Thank you.
Cross-pollination for the win! I haven't yet mastered the previous exercise, but I've applied some of these ideas to the mixolydian bluesy handgrips in an earlier lesson. I had already started branching out with straight major and straight minor and blues scale handgrips on top of the mixolydian. Now, with chromatic runs where they sound right, the breadth of my expression has expanded greatly. I'm so happy!
hi Oliver, I have been a piano teacher for at least15years,you open a new window in my brain of music. Thank you so much for sharing your ideas,teaching mode and everything about the jazz music.I respect you from the bottom of my heart.
The dots to indicate what you're playing are so helpful. Great playing, great explanations, and great video production. You're my favourite piano teacher on YT by far, keep it up!
Sir Oliver, I have no word to Express how grateful we are for such a precious lesson. Such a organized and very easy to understand and to clear the concept. May almighty bless you.
Oliver, you do a magnificent job of explaining and demonstrating these concepts. As a jazz teacher myself I watch youtube to keep an eye on the compettion . If only other teachers were as clear, generous and as genuinely capable as you. I've subscribed. Keep up the good work!
what did just happen somebody tell. did Oliver just teach how to improvise in 20 minutes or so up to a very acceptable enjoyable sophisticated level? no excuse left. let's practice this one and the previous lesson over and over again. thank you sir. i am out of words.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom! I've always loved to explore improvisation, but it always seem too complicated and beyond my level. But you explain it so so well! Thank you!
Thanks. Make it simple - pick out ONE little detail, ONE little trick and use all the days it takes to make that trick works before you continue to the next little trick. We can easily get overwhelmed by all the nice stuff we can do ;) By the way, this other previous lesson is good to master before the video above: ruclips.net/video/7gEylGkD5ik/видео.html Best regards from Oliver
No kidding, you are definitely the best. I have been working on some Barry Harris concepts with diminished chords of recent, your lesson puts it all into perspective. Thanks so much. Can't thank you enough.
OOOOOO man!!!!!! you are a unique person!!! thanks so much for all!!! It's simple explanation, but the results is amazing!!! I wish all of good to you!!! and please share with us your songs! Gud bless thig!
Magnifique cours de jazz. Enfin j'y arrive à petit pas, avec des explications très très claires et tout ceci dans une ambiance ludique. Merci Oliver. You are a super teacher. Bravo.
Man I love you so much! Your tutorials are just so easy to play along with. Nice explanations and totally understandable. Probably the best out of all the online tutorials on youtube! Some of the tutorials on youtube are just too difficult to understand because as soon as the video starts, they will just start playing some expert shits that we won't possibly keep up with. But you just slowly explain it to us like you are really willing to share your knowledge. Thanks a lot man! I'd totally support you
This video has one of the best straightforward explanations of tritone substitutions I have ever seen (or maybe I just now know enough to understand it xD). Thank you for all your hard work, making me Jazzier day by day.
Hello, Oliver. Thanks a lot for making this new jazz video tutorial. I play classical music and I try to improve my jazz skills for many years and watched so many youtube videos but all did not work for me. I just found your videos and it helps me a lot. Now I feel stress-free when improvising all thanks to your step by step method. You're the best jazz piano teacher on youtube! Thanks!
Thank you for this great class! I just noticed that I have to consider the 7 chord progression in 4th ascending interval apart from each other and I also could do some other tritone chords as a passing chords or replacement with (for example in Am to D#7) and the other chords too. It sounds nice as well. Mainly in the Dominant 7 as you touch us. Thank you Oliver again. Gretings from Tijuana!
Hello olivier tu es vraiment un excellent pédagogue et professeur, j'ai enfin trouvé grâce à tes nombreuses vidéos toutes les fantastiques ficelles que je cherchais depuis fort longtemps !!! MERCI 1000 fois
thank you so much, oliver! great videos, perfect approach through simplicity and calmness :) and your scales tools (together with nupfe) are just brilliant! staying stuck to your channel :D
Thanks Oliver this is most helpful,I've tried to learn from books for years,and it has,nt worked,but this is definitely working,l can hear the difference
FANTASTIC LESSON! I made it! Finally! I´m going Jazzy and Bluesy on my improv´s....I just need to practice the walking bass, my left hand is poor! GREETINGS FROM BRAZIL, MY FRIEND!
Your videos are a way to open the musical mind and expand the perception of the viewers. After seeing a video by you, I definitely feel that they help me to become a better musician. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!
I always end up only listening to you, I forget that I’ve come here to learn! You play so beautiful, I can listen to you all day!! And your voice really makes me calm in my head❤️🙌🏻
Oliver, thank you for your dedication to good music, and above all, your dedication to teaching and spreading that knowledge to people around the world who admires you. My father was a violinist and orchestra conductor (Alberto Bolet) Havana Philarmonic, later Bilbao Symphony and retired at the Long Beach Symphony. My uncle, Jorge Bolet, was a concert pianist and one of the best interpreters of the music of Franz Liszt of the 20th, century. They were both great teachers from whom I acquired great knowledge, and you are very similar in your teaching process. Very measured and clear in the way you explain and order your concept thoughts. I have been following you for quite a while and wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your effort. and dedication.
Grazie, Oliver, sono ancora a studiare la lezione precedente, l’ho trascritta su tutte e dodici le chiavi e sto provando a suonarle in successione, una dopo l’altra. All’inizio sembra ed è cosa ardua ma poi ci si rende conto che in questo modo risulta più facile memorizzare i passaggi. Incominciano veramente ad aprirsi nuovi orizzonti davanti ai miei occhi e tutto risulta essere più chiaro, più leggibile. Credo di aver bisogno ancora di una settimana intensa di studio, poi passerò a questa altra tua lezione che ho già guardato con grande curiosità e interesse. Grande, maestro: grazie di esistere! Thank you, Oliver, I am still studying the previous lesson, I transcribed it on all twelve keys and I'm trying to play them in succession, one after the other. At first it seems and it is difficult but then you realize that in this way it is easier to memorize the steps. New horizons really begin to open up before my eyes and everything turns out to be clearer, more readable. I think I still need an intense week of study, then I'll move on to your other lesson that I've already looked at with great curiosity and interest. Great, master: thank you for existing!
Great!!! But you don't have to exercise all 12 keys at once, it may be confusing and overwhelming. Well, I would get confused, haha. Start with only a few other tonalities and make it sound good before moving on. In the lesson we play the progression in E minor, right? So maybe also try G minor or C minor for a start. Later on you'll realise that you can easily learn other tonalities when you need them... But it's also totally ok if you want to grasp all 12 tonalities - My advise just is - don't get stuck in that huge and enormous project. The best and warm regards from Oliver
Hi in this previous lesson ruclips.net/video/7gEylGkD5ik/видео.html we learn the walking bass and we make the preliminary arpeggio exercises for the right hand. And later on in the lesson we use the exercises to improvise Music - so it's a good idea to check out the previous lesson, because the lesson above is a 'follow up' lesson. Best regards from Oliver
Your Videos are great as always! They have really helped me with my progression, and inspired me to use some more interesting techniques in my composition of music and improv - so for that thank you very much and keep up the good work! I was wondering if perhaps for your next video you could look at introducing quartal and quintal harmony into the Improv, but in your simplified way! Once again many thanks :)
Hi and thank you so much :) That could be very interesting. Every new video takes about 4 weeks to produce and the next many videos are already planned - but if you have patience with me, we will eventually have more about quintal/guartal harmonies, that's for sure...

Thank you Oliver. You are a great, teacher, musician and human being.
Recieve My humble gratitude and admiration.

I wish I watched this video few years back, Instead of watching million others. Classic Break Down for improvisation !

Oh my. The piano teacher we all always dreamed of.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom! I've always loved to explore improvisation, but it always seem too complicated and beyond my level. But you explain it so so well! Thank you!
Your explanations are crystal clear and I understand the idea behind each of these techniques. But it's soooo hard to use them myself :(

Hi Oliver, I am so grateful! You are the best!
Can wait for the next class, Anything like the autumn leaves re-harmonize using the grip’s and arpeggios? That would be great.
Always neat, direct and practical! What a relief to find such a ton of info summed up in single excercises! Many thanks :) cheers!

Remember, Luke, in your own words:

Such a helpful lesson. Thanks a million. Cheers.

Exelente saludos desde Torreón Coahuila Mexico.
Best tutorial EVER !!
Very good video, you could do one on the theme "all of me" jazz but also give a little emphasis on bass and improvisation.
Hi in this previous lesson ruclips.net/video/7gEylGkD5ik/видео.html we learn the walking bass and we make the preliminary arpeggio exercises for the right hand. And later on in the lesson we use the exercises to improvise Music - so it's a good idea to check out the previous lesson, because the lesson above is a 'follow up' lesson.
