Really nice, really helpful.. I find the last thing you did very useful.. but i can't always see what you're playing.. is there any way you could do a print out of what you're playing, or perhaps show on the screen what you're playing? thanks again, much appreciated

This is out of my pay grade, but I'm better able to comment today than I was two years ago. I only started the piano after 65 yoa, and I was relying on You Tube videos for the first year. Now I'm taking lessons twice a week, and finally making progress. I only recently started singing which helped to unlock my musicality. I'm years away from being able to take advantage and attempt jazz. That doesn't bother me since I've never learned to play well with others. I have trouble listening. That is a learned skill, and my teacher gave me some techniques to develop those skills. And I'm trying to master triads before moving on to more complex ideas. I decided early on that I wasn't going to be bothered with Jazz until I achieved at least a level 8, give or take a grading system. I was at level two, and then talked with my teachers and went back to level one...several times. Each of those simple songs was a musical phrase that I had neglected to really feel. This video gave me some inspiration, especially for the swing feel. I can start practicing that now, along with rhythm in general. I expected that you meant Beethoven Opus 132 (I think) when you talked about his music and jazz. In his last Sonata, he introduced several concepts that foreshadowed ragtime and bebop. Why hasn't this become a jazz standard?

Man, this is pure gold... instantly subscribed! Thank you good sir

I'm beginning this transition from classical to jazz in my mid 60s. I've taught composition at the university for 30+ years along with numerous theory courses. I've listened to and admired jazz performances my entire life, and am having a blast basically starting from zero and gaining some improvization skills. There's is (perhaps not unsurprisingly) a lot of overlap between classical 18th century counterpoint (melodic writing) and improv, which is somewhat helpful. But approaching this with "beginner's mind" is in my opinion crucial. Take it slow. Have fun. (Personally I find playing along with the iReal app or with backing tracks to be highly motivating). It's never too late to start

I was trained as a classical pianist before turning to jazz. I wasn't too bad as a classical pianist. I banked a few awards. I only discovered Jazz in my late teens. I then studied jazz in College and University. Armed with my 2 degrees, I went out into the world as a gigging musician. Eventually, this evolved into tours, concerts, recordings, a record deal and so on. I'm sharing this with you not to try and impress you, but to impress upon you that it IS very possible to go from classical to jazz. And having done both, I share my personal insights on this journey. I love this music, and I hope that you deeply commit to learning it, because when you do, it's incredibly rewarding! - Musically yours, Paul Tobey

Hi! Thank you, please tell, what Reaper's theme are you using?)))

Please, tell me, where i can listen your great jazz music!?)

Thank you for awesome tutorial and BEAUTIFULLY JAZZ MUSIC! 🎉

Thank you for this King

OK, I missed the live stream so where can I get the free sheet music PDF download?

Nice! Perfect topic.

My ENT recommenced the lipo-flavonoids...the pills were so large I was afraid I couldn't swallow them. Not sure if there are smaller options.

Eustachian tube dysfunction is an often overlooked, imo, cause of tinnitus.

Great lesson in less than 12 min.! 😊

A wonderful introspective take Paul.

Join me to learn this tune during this Saturday Morning Masterclass at 11:00 EST right here on TH-cam? If you have any questions you want me to answer, OR, you want me to help you learn something specific, drop me a comment/suggestion below. I'll be happy to tackle your question this Saturday 🙂

Thank you Paul, your tutorials are excellent! Could you possibly explain the logics of the chord progression of the song? So that it’s easier to remember later on…

Great tutorial Paul and thanks for the free download. Will look forward to practising and playing this 🎶🎹

You have a really nice playing style and explain it clearly. Thanks.

Thank you. You make this sound achievable, however i know it will take a lot if work for me to reach that standard. 😊

Another great video of a standard! Thx Paul!❤

This is such an awesome tutorial!

Thank you Paul.

Thank you Paul for presenting this great tutorial with sheet music download - much appreciated, normally for me your tutorials start at 3 am here in Australia and I don't always catch them on time to get a free download.......Matt.

Paul, what are your preferred two-hand rootless voicings for a major 6th chord? Do you voice them as 6/9 chords? That’s what I usually do, but lately I have been thinking of a major 6th as a min. 7 a minor third below. Ex. B-flat 6 = G min. 7. Also, what are your favorite two-hand rootless voicings for half-diminished & diminished chords?

Hey, Paul, what are you preferred two-hand rootless voicings for a major 6th chord? Do you voice it as a 6/9? I usually do that, but lately just think of it as a minor 7th of the root that’s a minor third below. Ex. B-flat6 = G min 7. Also, how do you personally voice a half-diminished chord with two hands?

😅😅 thanks🎉a lot

Hi JazzMentlists! A very special shout out and warm thanks to all my fellow pianists on the Jazz Pianist Group on Facebook for helping me with this tutorial!!! Link to Download Seven Steps to Heaven Sheet Music jazzmentl.com/seven-steps-to-heaven-solo-piano-sheet-music-members/

LOL! Ok, so what's the next step after all of those settings are verified, and your keyboard works in other apps perfectly? Nothing that I can think of has changed in my system nor Reaper since a few hours before losing control. Rebooting doesn't work. Very odd.

This is an EXCELLENT lesson!

I am a 54-yr old beginner. Playing this in a recital next month and so excited that I did another search and came across this video. Looking forward to watching it in detail. Thank you (in advance)?

I might be doing Paul Tobey an injustice, and maybe it’s not meant that way at all: but to me, it sometimes feels like he enjoys showcasing the inability of jazz beginners. That’s why, as a jazz beginner, I always feel a bit uncomfortable on this channel.

Founds Your comment at Mr. Hickens video performing this piece. I like Your Version too. Bravo for not giving up.
