Hi dear fellow Musicians :) This playlist contains all lessons about the 3 left hand grips to do almost any jazz chord; ruclips.net/p/PLd8gNAxPUcJz6-veQ28QlwkB3V_68dIiL Enjoy :) Many regards from Oliver Prehn
Haha, you've given out the "secrets." You will now have to be taken by men in black to a forgotten dungeon in Siberia :) But seriously, the classic jazz piano sound from about the late 40s to the about end of the 70s, and especially as jazz transitioned to modal from the late 50s to the late 60s, was always about these "grips" as you call them, and smooth transitions (I called them "hand shapes" in my mind, as I was intuiting them in my own way as a young man), and not about the laboriously stacked 3rds stuff you used to get from books like Johnny Mehegan's (although it's useful to know that too, but it's more of an adjunct to this, which is _the_ quintessence). I should imagine learning this crucial stuff was much easier by observation in places where they played jazz a lot - unfortunately I grew up in a wee Scottish backwater, so I had to sort of reverse-engineer it haphazardly from listening to records :) Wonderful resource, thanks! It's nice to have it all laid out systematically as you do. I wonder if there are similar "shape" things with the other instruments? I guess for guitar probably, but for monophonic instruments it's more about licks and little nuggets of characteristic arpeggio and run fragments, as you would learn with the right hand on piano too. But I guess even with monophonic instruments there are some "shapes" too. I remember reading about Chopin and how he was big on the same type of thing in classical piano - the Etudes are all about that, i.e. rather than forcing the hand to be omnicompetent, which was the older method, he preferred to take advantage of shapes that fit nicely with the combination of hand and the particular placement of the black and white keys.
This lesson together with others in this series have opened up my mind and freed my fingers for the first time in my attempt to free myself from the academic music theories about jazz and chord progressions. They provide common sense. Thanks.
Best teaching ever...no pressure in ...the timing...the speed...the voice...it makes everything look easier... i feel like i wanna learn more and more thanks a lot !
Soooooo impressive. Still stucked. Now coming after "juke-boxing" for 1 year. Oliver's lesson is so nicely building andcompleting the grounds, very simply for complex topics : that is a real teaching talent. Thx Oliver !
In the past month, i have learned so much from your Channel. I am grateful for your time and willingness to share your talent and your teachings with us all. Thank you. i will continue to support your channel.
Is it just me, or do these chords sound awesome?!?! Ha! They're so lovely/cool! Listen to 13:04 - 13:50. I think this is too advanced for me at the moment, but I'll remember this video. Mr Prehn, also, your teaching style is unique. You may not believe it, but you're actually a lot better than professional music teachers. The learning style is special. This is the best Jazz piano course I've discovered.
thank you oliver for making these videos and lessons. Really helped beginners like me a lot. I've just started playing piano for 5 months, my age is 31 currently, and boy you really can make what used to be complex things simple
I'm still practicing the exercise from the first part, but felt an inner need to like and comment here in advance :D and I've never, in my youtube history, bothered to like and comment. Not only the way Oliver teaches, but what he teaches is just so rare and so useful. Greatly appreciated.
These videos are great! I am quite familiar with all these chords, but getting these exercises to practice them and different progressions is exactly what I need to improve my jazz as well as guide my students who want to explore jazz. Incredibly valuable content for someone like me who's classically trained and needs a little help getting into jazz playing. I sent you a little donation as well! Many thanks!
Thank you so much for your feedback :) :) :) And you don’t have to donate anything - a really nice comment like yours is all the support I need :) Cheers from Oliver
Shhh, you're giving out the jazz piano secrets :) There are a few vids around that talk about these "shapes" (as I thought of them when I was learning jazz) but this is the best one. I think there's a sort of parallel between the way that some people naturally learn to do faster arithmetic in their heads than the traditional formula you learn in schools, and the way that jazzers just intuitively developed these shifting standard left hand shapes over time. At some point, just through listening and osmosis, it kind of "clicks" if you're playing a lot, or are a music student, but it was always still a bit wooly for me (and still partly intuitive); this video has clarified and put into a logical form something I already sort of half-knew. Many thanks.
Bless your multicoloured jazz socks! I wish someone had taught me this when I first started learning. Oh well, you're teaching me now. Thank you so much!
Tak Oliver. Dette var præcis, hvad jeg har ledt efter: En lidt mere avanceret introduktion til praktisk voide leading. Glæder mig til at se dine andre videoer.
It is really good you put the cord names at the top or I would never know what I was playing. I am working on cord progression and trying to learn cord names. Thank you.
Great Oliver! Fantastically well explained. And beautiful too, when you are in a blue mood :) Excercises that are both smart and sound good to the ear. Brilliant.
I saw your video about a year ago and disregarded it because I couldn’t make heads or tails of it. Finally after opening your video once again I am slow lit making some progress. Henry Arnold
Hi sir, I can't put into word how much I appreciate it. I've searched so long for the mystery and formula behind these beautiful chords. I'd never fully understood it, but this sky-rocketed my Jazz playing and knowledge to outer space. It's quite hard in the beginning, but as soon as you get a hand of it, it becomes easier and easier. Finally getting to my question haha: Would you recommend to learn Mi > Dom7, Sus > Dom7 and Mi > Alt7 > Sus > Dom7 in all twelve tonalities before proceeding to the next video? Because you only mentioned to learn the Mi > Dom7 in all twelve keys. I currently got a good hand at the Mi > Dom7 (I can play it fluently on a decent tempo). I also found out to create the dom7 chord just play a major seventh chord 1 tone below the bass note. Again thanks a lot you are the hero. Looking forward to your reaction. :)
Hi and thanks a lot. No, you dont' have to learn all 12 tonalities before moving on. You can for example just learn a few common tonalities. You can always step back and practice the old exercises again ;) Smart thinking about playing a Ma7 chord a whole tone below the bass note. Then you got the sus chord, but if you just resolve the chord you got a nice dominant 7,9,13 chord. I haven't through about that, thanks :) Best regards Oliver
Amazing how you explain it and your way of teaching, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge, it will surely help me to be a better pianist and play in a better way, add different things to the songs ...
Il est d'une humilité incroyable...Il veut un Monde où tous jouent du piano et comprennent ce qu'ils font..sans secret...Il expose tout..et Dieu seul sait comment les gens sont gênés à montrer tout...les musiciens ont ce protectionnisme qui me laisse perplexe...hors le monopole de la connaissance n'existe pas...On apprend tjrs d'une manière ou d'une autre
I watch many videos about music on RUclips but I must say your videos are my favorites. At 87 years young it's a bit difficult at times to comprehend some of the more technical aspects of theory, harmony and composition but you manage to present the subjects in a clear and precise manner. I take a lot of notes for future reference but find it very time consuming because of all the cutting and pasting needed. What software do you use to write down your sheet music? thksjim
Hi, I'm so glad that I can help!!! I use a free software called "MuseScore". It's quite advanced and it took me some days to figure out how to use it - but having done that work, I'm now very happy about the program; the graphic looks good and the possibilities are almost unlimited... Warm regards from Oliver
I find myself playing a game of catch up in the theory and the videos. I have to turn to my keyboard and back to the monitor. But I'm having a great, though challenging, time. Thank you Oliver!
Great lesson, thanks!! As always, explained very clearly and calm. Makes complicated stuff simple and lets me play with less effort. One question though: was this recorded in one take? Can't see there was a cut anywhere, that's really impressive!
Thanks a lot. Actually my videos are all recorded in smaller 3-5 minuttes takes. I just place my hands in the same way at the cuts so I can make a really smooth fade from one take to another ;) So I just hope you still like my lessons though haha... Best regards from Oliver
@@NewJazz If you didn't reveal your secret, I wouldn't have noticed. Makes you really good at hiding scene transitions! And of course I still like your lessons, your way of teaching is exceptional!
Oliver I was waiting for this second video to better understand the decision to use rootless chords for a beginner lesson, I was a bit doubtful, but as always you surprised me with a very well thought out course! Now let me run to make my donation, a warm hug from Roma
Hi Oliver, thx for the lessons. I think it would be nice if you did the grip one followed by some stuff you can play with it in the right hand. So grip 1 over 3 keys with some motifs in the right hand to keep it more fun. Just doing 12 keys of grip one is a bit much.
Yes I agree, we should also look into some details, playing just a few chords, adding some motifs in the right hand. Thanks for your input! Best regards Oliver
The blue color dots on the keyboard illustrates used to denote chord notes are hard to see. Is there a more conspicuous or brighter color use can use in place of BLUE! Thanks Henry Arnold
Your lessons are fantastic! I learnt so much....it was difficult at first. I get the progression correct but the next time I go back, I get it wrong - missed a note or something!! LOL. But loving and enjoying the sounds of the progression. I would like to ask you how to apply these progressions to an actual song? DO you have a lesson somewhere that shows how these progressions are applied in a song? Thank you so much! You're the best!!
Thanks a lot!!! Check out this lesson. We use the 3 left hand grips to play a chord progression similar to Autumn Leaves ;) ruclips.net/video/hACDMj5QGZY/видео.html Best regards from Oliver
@@NewJazz One more question. Is there a way that you remember the fingering of each chord in the progression? Let's say for example, Ebsus chord - is there a way that you remember this chord or must I always go to the start of the progression, from Asus and work up to Ebsus?
@@helenteoct Good question. I had to think about what I'm thinking haha. I came to the conclusion that I don't use a specific method memorizing it. Gradually it just become a standard 'look' or 'view' of how the keys should look when pressed down playing for example the Ebsus chord.
Permission requested for reflexion. The rootless chord is deceptive by nature and could be called by many names. It all depends on the note (tone) in the bass. It their for a master tool in fingers of the painist. I am so happy for myself today , I am presently working on hand grips and the results are great. I was wandering what would happen if I mirror the rootless chord in the RH. I AM FOOLING AROUND WITH IT. PLS WHAT DO YOU THINK. THANKS SO MUCH TEACHER OLIVER.
Totally correct reflection!!! We can use the same grip for so many chord qualities; it just depends on the relation to the bass note. And yes, of course you can use the grips/chords in the right hand as well !!! Warm regards from Oliver
Hi and thanks a lot :) And good question. Both is acceptable. But if the chord contained the perfect 5th as well I would definitely name the note "b13". In the lesson I list up the steps in order; ma3 --> aug5 --> 7 --> aug9. Cheers from Oliver
dear Oliver, finally something thats simple and very useful, thank you very much, small donation via PayPal sent, you deserve it for sure, have good day ! :-)
Great!!! And good question. I just decided to write down only the plain 7th chords without any further expansions - as we see them in for example the Real Book ;) Best regards from Oliver
That's GREAT. I Just uploaded a new video about the left hand chords. So now you can add the "Grip 3" to your exercises: ruclips.net/video/0n3LgxXMh7E/видео.html Best regards Oliver
Very good series of videos thanks. There seems to be a mistake at 10:59 though when you say "the 2 upper notes go down the register" when in fact only the G moves down to Gb. Same again for the 2 lower notes when in fact only the C moves down to B.
Hey Olivier, I really do love all your content. I am trying to learn this lesson but not sure how to name the chords without looking at the video. Any tips?
Learn only a couple of chords for a start. This PDF may help you getting a better overview: www.newjazz.dk/Compendiums/left-hand-chords.pdf Best regards from Oliver
Did you learn using the Piano Jazz Book by Mark Levine? It is a great way to learn this kind of stuff :) Your videos are the perfect complement to the book as there is no sound on a page ;) Loving your videos as always!
Hi dear fellow Musicians :) This playlist contains all lessons about the 3 left hand grips to do almost any jazz chord; ruclips.net/p/PLd8gNAxPUcJz6-veQ28QlwkB3V_68dIiL

I’ve listened to so many jazz guys. They usually end up confusing me. You are the best jazz teacher I’ve ever listened to. thank you
Hands Down ...no pun intended. God Bless and Thanks for teaching!
You transformed my life! You are an extraordinary man ... a mixture of scientist..artist..and magician ... I cannot live without you!
This lesson together with others in this series have opened up my mind and freed my fingers for the first time in my attempt to free myself from the academic music theories about jazz and chord progressions. They provide common sense. Thanks.

17:50 1a 2a 1b 2b (suspended to dominant 7)
21:22 1a 2a 1b 2b (mi7 - 7alt - sus -7) (with triton substitution)
Thanks 😊

These lesson are very important not only for piano players( In my professional life i play doublebass). Thanks a lot for sharing them!
Can’t wait to practice this! I have final exams now but once summer starts I will be back at the keyboard again! :)
Amazing solid lesson! Looking forward to the fourth part!

The rootless chord is deceptive by nature and could be called by many names.
It all depends on the note (tone) in the bass. It their for a master tool in fingers of the painist.
I am so happy for myself today , I am presently working on hand grips and the results are great.
I was wandering what would happen if I mirror the rootless chord in the RH. I AM FOOLING AROUND WITH IT.
PLS WHAT DO YOU THINK. THANKS SO MUCH TEACHER OLIVER.
Totally correct reflection!!! We can use the same grip for so many chord qualities; it just depends on the relation to the bass note.
And yes, of course you can use the grips/chords in the right hand as well !!!

Hi Oliver, french translation ready and checked...
Thanks a million once more. You have really translated a lot of subtitles to French by now - I'm so pleased with your work!!! Warm regards from Oliver

Been coming back to this video a lot, very very helpful and fun!
a question, Oliver. Why don’t you call the Ami7 in this exercise “Ami9”?
Great!!! And good question. I just decided to write down only the plain 7th chords without any further expansions - as we see them in for example the Real Book ;) Best regards from Oliver
@@NewJazz cool! 🙏🙏

ohhhhh thanks !!!! excellent master!!!
Thank you Oliver!
Very good series of videos thanks. There seems to be a mistake at 10:59 though when you say "the 2 upper notes go down the register" when in fact only the G moves down to Gb. Same again for the 2 lower notes when in fact only the C moves down to B.
Hi and thanks :) What I mean is that the two upper notes goes down the register from "1a-2a-1b". Then the two lower notes from 1b-2b-1a and so on...
Thanks. Great lesson.
Thank you for sharing ylor exellent lesson, i apperecite from you! :)
So the Master explained the II-V progression in his unique way! :) Thank you Oliver.
What piano sound did you use? Is it a Roland?
lol -Thanks :) I use this software from Native Instruments: www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/keys/the-grandeur/
Mine is.
