Great stuff. In your first enclosure exercise, you targeted the natural ninth on the Dominant. But then when you targeted the 7-th and then did an arpeggio, you usually (always?) hit the flat nine on the way up the arpeggio. It would be useful if you could do a lesson sometime on when to put in which alterations on the Dominant.
I totally agree with Stephano here. And I'd say that jazz musicians generally do alter the ninths of dominants more than leaving them natural. Here was my take on it: ruclips.net/video/3jjlaBi0JlY/видео.html I should mention that in minor ii-V-i's the ninth is almost always lowered.
Jeremy, you’re such an inspiration for pianists and teachers! I’ve never seen such discussion on improvisation anywhere else. Another door opener. Well done, again! Thank you. Was it coffee?
I bought your book 1&2. I'm an intermediate player who's been away from the keys for about 15 years. It's so helpful to go back to the beginning! Great book!
Very useful Jeremy . The idea of the two halves of the bar should free the player up and ideally create more interest ; and this also implies the anticipation of the first chord over the barline .

Hi Jeremy, Very helpful lesson. I’m working on using your moving arpeggio approach to playing the changes and this is a great way to decorate the beginning of the phrases and the transitions to new chords.
Coffee-I liked the way you explained this. It seems simpler, clearer than the belabored explanations that are around. I’d enjoy maybe a brief (!) Charlie Parker transcription playback example just to deeply connect a theory exercise to the masters. For me a PayPal or ApplePay ability would assure a coffee purchase v entering my credit card number again somewhere on the internet. But so glad you decided to have tip jar capability! You deserve it. 🎉🎉🎉
Excellent video!!! Could you make a video on practicing enclosures on short or quick 2 5 1 where you have only half a measure on the two chord and half a measure on the five chord.
This and many of your other videos are among the best I’ve seen explaining these concepts. Thanks a lot for making these available. Which of your books do you think would help most hone in on these concepts for bebop improv? I’m a sax player and want to get better at constructing bebop lines.
I don't know that I have anything *exactly* for you. I get into some of these issues in Jazz Piano Fundamentals, Book 2. I bet you'd enjoy the improvisation exercises in there, but it's not a straight improvisation book, so there things wouldn't apply to you.
Thanks for this, and your other videos Jeremy. You have some really good, clear instruction on jazz piano. Something I have always struggled with is playing convincing swing 8th note lines above 180bpm or so. I find it really hard to make them sound secure and "in the pocket", rhythmically speaking.. Do you have any advice and have you any videos that touch on this?
@@JeremySiskind the world of hot teas is actually pretty wild! So many different concoctions with different effects. Medicinal to trippy to energetic to sleepy, once you start tinkering it's pretty cool!
Great lesson Jeremy, many thanks! When improvising, do you advise attempt to connect the chordal phrase on the first half of the bar with the approach on the second half, or treat them as two different things? Coffee!

for me this is the absolute BEST explanation and practice for bebop piano I have seen thank you
Yay! I’m so happy it’s helpful to you. Enjoy your practice!
You're very gifted teacher Jeremy! 😊
That's very kind, thank you!
Your a great teacher.
It's a gift most teachers don't have.
well those ideas are going to be like a jolt of coffee for my practicing
Haha, perfect and well said!
Great lesson! Im grabbing coffee and going to practice right now
That’s my favorite thing to hear! (Both the coffee and the practicing!) enjoy!
i love going chromatically from 5 down to b3 to land on a minor chord
Nice! Thanks for the comment, Hand Dancin'!
Great teacher always
My pleasure, Mai! Enjoy your practicing!
You didn't exaggerate, this IS finally the key to Bebop for me, specially the idea of cutting the bar in half is great and EXTREMELY helpful 👍🏻
That's a great simple way of looking at it.
Thanks much, Lambo Man!
That was a lovely cup of coffee. Thank you for the sip of musical wisdom, Jeremy 🌹🌹😎🌹🌹
My pleasure, Ms. Brenda!!! 🌹 🌹 🌹

There are no rules to which alteration you have to use, it’s actually just flavours you yourself can pick out in the moment

I watched a lot of bebop tutorials today and this is the best

I’m honored. Thanks for purchasing and I hope you enjoy it!
It's very, very good indeed!@@JeremySiskind
AAAH! This is what I needed!
Amazing! Enjoy your practicing!
Very useful Jeremy . The idea of the two halves of the bar should free the player up and ideally create more interest ; and this also implies the anticipation of the first chord over the barline .
Yes, absolutely, you have to be thinking of the next chord and targeting a note. Thanks for the good comment, Andrew!
This great stuff and extends enclosure practise .. nicely laid out !!
Awesome, Charles! Enjoy your practice!
Love it, thank you Jeremy
Awesome - thank you, Mr. Benjamin Piano!
great lesson
Thanks so much, Kris! Happy practicing!

Another great lesson, as always! Coffee. 😊
My pleasure, Ms. Sylvia!
Your videos are really wonderful! Great teaching and content.
Thank you much, Paul! Enjoy!
Thank you so much for your great exercise sharing tips!
My pleasure. Happy practicing!
Hi Jeremy,

Great! Those exercises complement each other perfectly!
great information!
Thanks much, Mr. Jimmy! I'm imagining you screaming this comment. 😉
It's seems very interessting. By chance it is possible to have this videos with french translation?!
If you want to do it…I only have taken four semesters of French, so I’m not quite qualified
Amazing info!!!
really fascinating Jeremy! Hope all is well!

@@JeremySiskind haha! Thanks for “the tip” (so to speak) on buying you a coffee for today’s lesson! On the way via PayPal😀
@@chrisjazzhands5373 That's very kind. Thank you!!!!

Thanks for watching, Chris!
woaaah that intro was So fresh! its cold in here!🤣
Thx a lot Jeremy !
You are genius....like Oscar Peterson...love you much

@@JeremySiskind I'll look into these! Again, thanks for your awesome work.
Awesome! I've had (at least) 5 cups today.😊
Thanks 4 the lesson. Now I know what my kitten is playing when she walks on the keys. It's Bebop!
Lol, that's a jazz cat right there!

Well now I need a coffee. And practice.
Haha, those go pretty well together at least!
Gonna make a hot tea and head to the keys! (not a coffee guy 😂)
Fair enough - I've been trying to wean myself off coffee...not going great...

I’d say one generally wants to connect them as smoothly as possible.
@@JeremySiskind Great - thanks!
Coffee! ❤
Thanks for watching, Bobby! I hope you're having a great summer of gigs!
@@JeremySiskind thanks, Jeremy! Plenty of coffee! lol
u are soo goood man !!!
Aw, thank, you, Albert! Practice, practice, practice!

How important is it to learn and practice bob scales when improvising in bebop, please?
I’ve never really used them personally but I think some students find them useful
@@JeremySiskind Thank you Jeremy. I very much appreciate your (very helpful to me) response.
Love this! Thank you🎉🎶🌈❤️
My pleasure, jonny! Thanks for checking it out!
More key...like this....
Great - I'm glad you liked it!
Coffee!
Thanks for watching!
For real bop, play that in 16th, and for hard bop in 32th 😁
Ahhhhhhhh. That hard bop sounds too "hard"! 😆
Coffee!
