I have a Master's degree in Music but I've never seen stylistic playing such as this so simply and efficiently encapsulated for achievability with minimal training/study. Bravo!!
The first video that actually tells you how to learn stuff in five minutes
Best lounge jazz tutorial I've seen! Really helps to just think about sticking to 2 chords and playing all their notes in different ways. So nice, thank you. Really looking forward to try it.
Happy you found it helpful!
This was really helpful to me. One of the best break-downs Ive seen of how to actually play around with the Barry Harris scale.
Happy to hear. Barrys scales are not TOO complicated. But there's a lot to dive into.
@@loungepiano _...but there's a lot to dive into...._ that's the complicated part.
@@pangeaproxima3681 it's a simple concept that can be expanded on. It's a way of simplifying harmonies to free you up to do more
@@granddaddy_funk Man, you sound like a teacher and you didn't understand my comment.
@@pangeaproxima3681 I am a piano teacher lol.
I've been trying for over a year to learn and get better at this exact lounge/cocktail style of piano. I've made a lot of progress, but this video had more of an immediate and measurable impact than anything else I've come across. Please make more of these types of videos! This could be a huge win for your channel. You are straight to the point, clear, and informative. Stick with this, and RUN WITH IT.
Yes! I totally agree! More of tutorials like this!
Same for me 🎉
Thanks! Your advices have been really helpful to me. Thank you for your support and interest in this channel 🙏
Straight to the point without beating around the bush, information is broken down and presented in a format which is easier to understand and quickly put into practice.. Great tutorial! Thank you :)
You're welcome. Thanks for the feedback!
Very nice. That’s the sound of the “tinkling piano in the next apartment” [These Foolish Things] “Those stumbling words that told you what my heart meant”. What a rhyme.
That was way better than it had any right to be. Beautifully explained.
Thanks!
You're a fantastic teacher! It's been a while since I've seen such a comprehensive piano lesson - appreciate the easy breakdown and straight to the point format, keep it up!
Barry Harris!! I love this stuff. More please!!
I came back to this video to see whether Barry Harris was mentioned, because I remembered this concept but without any remembrance of the man!
This is such a condensed amount of information presented in an approachable manner and no subscribe begs! Thank you.
... remember to like and subscribe! 🙏
Wow, just wow. The presentation style combined with your explanation and how you broke down the style into its building blocks made it very followable and gave me immediate impetus to sit down next to a piano again. To put that in context, I last properly played twenty years ago when a "jazz piano" teacher had me practice major and minor scales for six months before he disappeared and I never heard of him again. These five minutes had a bigger effect on me than those six months!
I don't know why, but I find this IMMENSELY helpful and useful. Thank you for this GREAT tutorial!
amazing! I've been wanting to pick up playing the piano again and didn't even think lounge piano style was something I wanted to learn but here we are
Ha, ha! Amazing!! I'm happy for you. It's such a nice style to play in 👍
you deserve a grammy for teaching this in such an articulate way
That's what I know as Barry Harry 6th diminished scale. It's beautiful, you give really nice examples.
This is a great tutorial! More focussed on making music than on using complicated ideas. Please make more of these.
Thanks for the feedback. I will!
Yea please do more things like this, less truly is more!!
I love how something so beautiful sounding comes from such a simple set of ideas
Man, I love finding videos and channels like this. You teach it so simply and give enough for one to fill an entire practice session with this 5 minute lesson. Always wanted to learn lounge piano stuff
I‘ve never subscribed to a channel after watching only one video… until today. I know i‘m goddamn right here. Awesome video.
There is one time for everything I guess!
Please make more of these videos! 😮 its amazing how simple and clear you explained it. thank you 🎉
Short, simple and yet.... just beautiful. That's what music is all about !👍👍❤
Wow. This could also be seen as a really cool and melodic approach for practicing Barry Harris diminished 6th concept. Brilliant!
Exactly!
The best piano video I’ve ever seen bar far! Instant sub. 😮
Excellent video. I'm usually skeptical about music tutorial, but this is very instructive and well put. Also, your playing is soft and enjoyable to hear. Keep it up!
There are a lot of crappy scammy videos promising things like this, but, wow! Yours is the first one I see that truly delivers! Happy to subscribe to your channel
This was so relaxing! Was watching it on the toilet and took the best dump of my life
Seeking THIS tutorial for 40 years.
Hope you don't have to spend another 40 to find the next 😅
Very helpful! Just to be clear this method does not limit the music to just 2 chords. Instead it allows you to generate many different chords by thinking of them as variations of 2 simpler chords with different moods. Since piano lounge music is all about the mood, we don't really need to know exactly what the chord is, just the mood it brings.
I was looking for this comment. Thank you! ❤️
Парень, ты молодец. Так просто всё объяснил!
Most elegant and practical explanation of Barry Harris' 6th diminished scale ever!!!
At first I thought you were playing a lot of different chords, but then the idea of inversion kicked in, and I realize it really is only two chords!
Great tutorial! Can't wait to see more like it! Loved the careful choice of words and progression of examples. Made it very easy and enjoyable to follow.
Thanks for the feedback. Preciate it!
Loved this. Great vibe, clear execution, not too slow, thanks you're a pro!
You are opening so many doors for me with this tutorial god bless you very much its the first time i am visiting your channel i am from curacao
By just concentrating on those two chords, one is actually playing more than just two chords when inverted. Excellent video. I’ve been saying this to my friends for years.
I have heard this run played in churches by gospel keyboardists and have wanted to know what they’ve been playing. Thank you for sharing. 💙
You're welcome
I think I learned this as Barry Harris's diminished sixth scales... Either way - it's beautiful! Thanks - subscribed 👍👍
Yes. That's the way he explained it too.
Dense and smart instructional finesse. Thank you for this wonderful lesson!
hehe magic magic of the bebop scale, yees
I could listen to this all day! I don't think I've ever heard a better piece of music that is so calming and yet keeps me eager to hear the next note! Thanks so much for sharing your talent! May God bless you!
Very good.
I was visibly smiling throughout the entire video. Beautiful demonstration
I’m a beginner to piano and this amazes me and gives me something to work with in a really practical way. Awesome 🙂
You are a really great teacher!!Thanks!
Short. Sweet. Packed. This is a gem 💎
This is pure gold !!! ❤
This is awesome, really comprehensive
Keeping it simple is so helpful. From a couple of simple building blocks so much can be accomplished.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!
Brilliant! Simple and brilliant!
These tips are pretty amazing; thanks!😄👏
Those are two incredibly efficient chords. The C6 doubles an Am7, which are the two more common tonic-functioning chords, the D dim/F dim covers the two subdominant functions, and it also has primary and secondary dominant functionalities for the tonics in the form of B dim and G# dim resp. So while you technically just have two distinct pitch collections, they actually comprise a nearly complete set of functions for the key of C major and its sister key A minor.
Very Nice! I love your simplified style of teaching
I love it! Thank you for the ideas!
You're welcome
Teaching at it’s fundamental root is all reducing seemingly complex concepts to their simplest terms. What teaching is not? Telling note names, showing what one knows and calling it teaching, talking down to the student etc. The compassion to impart knowledge to others is not about what one cannot do but rather the gift one must find in themselves to impact learning of others which in turn teaches one about one’s true essence. Great share!
😊
I never knew Ryan Gosling is such a good pianist.
I take it as two compliments in one comment 😄

I am speechless that’s was elegant and brilliant
Thank you for such a clear tutorial. Liked and subscribed!❤
I love this! Amazing! I am new to piano, but saving this great, fun video. Peace and thank you!
I always thought 6th chords were cheesy sounding, probably because of the way they were used as the stinger at the end of early sixties rock songs, so I've always stayed away from them. You made me hear them in a completely different way. Thanks so much.
Fantastic. So helpful!!!
Wow! This is like...how to play the piano in a nutshell. Thanks!
Wow, amazing. So simple, beautiful, and deep. I am so eager to dive in.
Thank you ❤😊😂

To be a good pianist is a thing, to be a great teacher is a different thing. Y ou are both!
