Some of the best advice ever. Can't tell you how many times I've been playing and punch a note that's out of key and just repeat it then resolve down or up to make it sound intentional
F, Dm, Em7. He also builds up to 7ths. And the scale is the white keys. Once you have the chords in a groove, just mess around till you find what you like :D
I've been playing piano for I think 8 years now. I've played jazz for about 5 of them. And I'm finally discovered someone who actually tells me which notes are good for improv and which ones aren't. Thank you even if it's a different key/scale I can take this find the key and transpose it to any other key I need. Thanl you for doing what you do. Never change, and if you do, I won't mind, just don't leave music behind. Edit: I started reading lead sheets only about a couple months ago, Holy carp I still don't know anything
I can't tell you how many "how to get started with jazz" videos I've watched that all conveyed this exact same information with 10x the runtime. You're doing god's work out here. It's a great jumping off point for people to actually get their fingers dirty, see what sounds good and what doesn't, and THEN go watch those videos which explain things in greater depth. imo at least.
As a jazz musician. I would say. Dont do this. Learn theory and then piano. Jazz isnt something you can watch TH-cam into "how to sound good. If I would here this at a jazz concert i would immediately think it sounds horrible and pop.
@@laeronym5884 You're right, learning like this will not make you a good jazz player, but it is an easy way to have fun on the piano. Which is very important in the beginning of learning the instrument. If you have fun you'll carry on playing more probably.
I once tried to fake jazz piano skills. First I got myself a fake book, then I worked it out and then wow, people couldn't even tell I was not a jazz player when I played it!
I've been faking my piano skills for 15 years now. At first it was really obvious but I've slowly learned tricks and methods which help me seem like I actually know what I'm doing.
@@whitelion204 it's actually usually the bass that decides what the chords are, but in this case, neither the bass nor the melody play the chords he's suggesting. It's only halfway through the tune that the bass drops a third and the chords become the chords written.
Is it normal that all the chords are referred to as 7 chords while actually being 9 chords? None of them have the root, as you mentioned, but they also all have the 9th in addition to the 7th.
Because it's the spice! If used right it's amazing if used wrong it's a disaster haha. But if you leave them out altogether no worries, it's just vanilla. But there's vanilla then there's really good vanilla so get to the good vanilla then start adding some spice.
And drop the 3 and 6 a semitone each suddenly you're in minor pentatonic. Simple but people have it made out in their heads that this stuff is some mystical knowledge (probably not music nerds on YT, but a lot of my friends who are self-taught musicians reel at the thought of learning basic stuff like this).
For the theory nerds: That D in the last chord really makes it a Cmaj9. Amazing voicing! This video demonstrates why 2-5-1 is excellent for any track. Bravo!
If anyone else was confused about the chords: they're all rootless. The first chord is an Fmaj7, which you can think of as Dm9 without the root. The second chord is Bm7b5 (or Dm6), which is G9 without the root. The last chord is Em7, which is Cmaj9 without the root.
I like to compare music to learning a language. Starting with some literal words you have learned to get the job done, to telling stories with your emotions. Once learned, it's so natural that you cannot go back ;)
That was actually sick and probably the best possible implementation of “faking jazz skills” possible. Lots of textures, nothing really cliché, and the tone was really cool. The solo also has sections and change.
this method of switching chords by moving two fingers to get a different inversion of a different one just boosted my jazz piano skills immensely, tysm
This is like those how to draw memes where you start with a circle and some lines and voilà!! You have a drawing that can be in the museum of natural history
i can see why you would hit that black key, because its impossible to resist the b5 / #4 while playing. apart from being the tritone, it's part of the secondary dominant for the relative minor (V / vi) and part of the subdominant of the parallel minor (iv). it's striking and distinctly outside the tonal center but also very natural. i too gravitate towards it.
bro, it's just the b9 on the dominant, it's like literally the most basic extension on a dominant chord. out here acting like it's some unique stylistic choice lol...
@@nialltownley1788 he didnt say its unique, he just pointed out all the ways to look at it. To me, it makes more sense to say its the third of a minor 4 but you can of course look at it in any number of ways
@@fade-graphicdesign1258 it doesn't though cos he's playing a dominant 7th there lol and the rest of the line is all from the dominant.... the minor subdom is way out of the way and definitely not what he's thinking there. just calling out a note on isolation is pointless and the original commenter called it b5 #4 which is also wrong.
Jazz is perfect for everything such as for starting your day, walking to school, while driving a car, reading a book in a library. This is the only Genre for me that I think is okay to listen anytime anywhere. ❤ Its 3 am and Im listening to this. 😂
I think this is how i unintentionally gaslit myself into thinking i was good at piano, now i'm trying to learn music and realizing how much i don't know.
When you get lost just start going chromatically until you get to a note that sounds good. If you get really confused and play in the wrong key, you're just going "out", yeah you're THAT good !
What will differentiate an advanced player from a beginner in this is how well you'll be able to incorporate notes, that aren't within the major pentatonic and might sound a little or a lot of. Making those choices deliberately and making it still sound musical, that comes with practice and of course knowing your music theory. Music theory is the grammar to the language of music.
I love how you're just jamming but dropping some good tips at the same time.😃 For fun, I'll try this with one of my regular piano students and see if he can fake it and make it too! I'll remind him to have fun! 😆
Something that helps me is to avoid playing the root note very much, and definitely do not play the root note on any strong beats, but I suppose rules can be broken
Seriously, just start with this and then learn when and how it sounds good TO YOU to break these rules. Then learn to transpose it and inject other chords. Then add more and more over time. This is what being a musician is.
Can someone explain how those first three chords are D-7, G7, and Cmaj7? Even out of order, I can't match any of those chords to any of the chords he's playing.
he's playing rootless voicings: D-7 he plays F A C E (the 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th leaving out the root D) G7 he plays F A B D (7th, 9th, 3rd and 5th leaving out the root G) Cmaj7 he plays E G B D (3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th) ... you get the idea the last time he plays F Ab B Eb on the G7 which is the 7th b9th 3 b13th so G7(b9, b13) keyboard players usually leave out the root in their left hand voicings as they would be played by the bass and let you put in more extensions hope this helped!
They're not. He's playing the upper voices of each chord, and had the bass played the root the chords would have been Dm9-G7(add13)-Cmaj9 The issue is - the bass doesn't. At first there's no bass, so the chords sound like Fmaj7-Dm65 (or Fmaj7 add#4 but that's unlikely)-Em7. Then when the bass comes in... it confirms those exact chords. It's only in the second half of the video that the bass switches to playing D-G-C, making the chords the ones he actually said.
To add to this, you can play in any key you want if you have a midi keyboard and own a DAW that transposes your notes live. That way, you could stick to the c major / a minor scale and play any song imaginable (that sticks to one key)
True. But some people could actually try things out, slowly adding a flat and play F major or d minor. Or add a sharp and play G major or e minor and so on and so forth. Slowly but surely you'll be able to play any key without transposing lol
One time I filmed myself just banging around on my wife’s piano and then posted it online with some caption about how I was learning “avant-garde jazz.” People kept saying how good of a job it was. I was just doing it for the meme.
@@leohongjohnson5670 fair enough. I was wondering about the D chord (so 5 chord in G and secondary 2 chord in C; the latter is what I guess it's being used as here) so I get your point!
If you add a fourth chord of C6 after the Cmaj7, then it's just the 2-5-1 chord progression, the foundation of jazz. Also playing the Am blues (a, c, d, d#, e, g, a) scale also works really in that key
When I was a little kid, I used to go “camping” with my grandparents at an RV park. At their rec hall there was a piano and I would always fuck around with the piano by just hitting the white keys. In retrospect probably didn’t sound great but when I was a kid, I swear it sounded like this. That RV park is abandoned now. it was always run down throughout my childhood. But it was always charming.
Where can I learn jazz? I have been playing piano for about 3 years on and off and I wish I knew how to play jazz. I have searched TH-cam and can't find a lot of videos, please send some recomendations.
reminds me of some yussef dayes alfa mist stuff. sounds great! also i recommend spicing up the rhythms sometimes just to add some excitement in addition to what is said in the video. playing some stuff out of the key yields a similar effect in my experience.

This is just an immature video and entirely misleading. Music in all forms can be simplified to a structure of chord progressions and melody. To proceed to make a video that makes fun of the simplicity, and then perform a difficult set is just off-putting to say the least. It just shows more about your attitude towards the art form.
This undersells the right hand work. A lot of making jazz make sense is just landing on obvious chord tones on accents which you probably do instinctively now.
I started training as a classical pianist at 4 years old. In high school the jazz band needed a fill in pianist for a trip to Disney. I recall going over the set list with the regular keyboard player and stressing out a bit over some of the chords. He just said "Oh those chords? Just mash some black keys alternating to add variety. Dag gummit it worked flawlessly.

When you get lost just start going chromatically until you get to a note that sounds good. If you get really confused and play in the wrong key, you're just going "out", yeah you're THAT good !
I'm so happy the algorithm brought me here! Thanks for the tips, you really slayed this 👏
Nice groove. Need longer version.
Awesome video as always, this is actually really helpful!
I can't imagine when real jazz class starts
What will differentiate an advanced player from a beginner in this is how well you'll be able to incorporate notes, that aren't within the major pentatonic and might sound a little or a lot of. Making those choices deliberately and making it still sound musical, that comes with practice and of course knowing your music theory. Music theory is the grammar to the language of music.
That is the coolest thing I've ever seen. You're GOLDEN!
I love how you're just jamming but dropping some good tips at the same time.😃 For fun, I'll try this with one of my regular piano students and see if he can fake it and make it too! I'll remind him to have fun! 😆
Thanks now I just need a keyboard. 😂
Also I think the backing track was equally as important
Love stuff like this to get people into playing more
This video without visuals is just a sick af jazz piano solo.
Something that helps me is to avoid playing the root note very much, and definitely do not play the root note on any strong beats, but I suppose rules can be broken
Now watch me become a jazz genius in five years after watching this video lmao
awesome video bro, love the positive energy too. keep it up!
I would like to see a longer version of this song, perhaps 3 minutes!
Seriously, just start with this and then learn when and how it sounds good TO YOU to break these rules. Then learn to transpose it and inject other chords. Then add more and more over time. This is what being a musician is.
this sounds like it would be great for a new mario cart lvl
Man the Nord really makes the piano skills sound that much better! Im a hack and i sound pretty sweet on a Stage 1 😂
You are insane at playing piano
Brilliant. Those are not fake skills! ! Bravo. 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you ! 🙏🙏🙏
My man, that’s awesome!
i remember playing in public as a kid playing random chords and stuff and getting a huge crowd of people watching me
Can someone explain how those first three chords are D-7, G7, and Cmaj7? Even out of order, I can't match any of those chords to any of the chords he's playing.
he's playing rootless voicings:
D-7 he plays F A C E (the 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th leaving out the root D)
G7 he plays F A B D (7th, 9th, 3rd and 5th leaving out the root G)
Cmaj7 he plays E G B D (3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th) ... you get the idea
the last time he plays F Ab B Eb on the G7 which is the 7th b9th 3 b13th so G7(b9, b13)
keyboard players usually leave out the root in their left hand voicings as they would be played by the bass and let you put in more extensions
hope this helped!
@@nialltownley1788 Thanks for the answer!!
@@nialltownley1788 F is the 3rd in Dm7, so is he actually playing Dm7?
They're not. He's playing the upper voices of each chord, and had the bass played the root the chords would have been Dm9-G7(add13)-Cmaj9
The issue is - the bass doesn't. At first there's no bass, so the chords sound like Fmaj7-Dm65 (or Fmaj7 add#4 but that's unlikely)-Em7. Then when the bass comes in... it confirms those exact chords.
It's only in the second half of the video that the bass switches to playing D-G-C, making the chords the ones he actually said.
@@ulrap1202 What do you mean?
I just keep playing the lick till it work.
Love the synth bass sound ❤
Omg this is straight fire! 🔥🔥
“Play all notes except for B and F”
>proceeds to play B and F frequently
What
F is good over D minor and B is good over G7.
@@6thdim this and he also used em often to lead over to the other notes. For example if u wana get from A to C just roling over the B can sound good
To add to this, you can play in any key you want if you have a midi keyboard and own a DAW that transposes your notes live. That way, you could stick to the c major / a minor scale and play any song imaginable (that sticks to one key)
True. But some people could actually try things out, slowly adding a flat and play F major or d minor. Or add a sharp and play G major or e minor and so on and so forth. Slowly but surely you'll be able to play any key without transposing lol
Jazz is a musical language. The more you do it, the better you’ll get.
😲😊🤣
Hello, mate!
This is so awezommm!
Love you already! ✨
One time I filmed myself just banging around on my wife’s piano and then posted it online with some caption about how I was learning “avant-garde jazz.”
People kept saying how good of a job it was. I was just doing it for the meme.
Banging on a piano? Avant garde jazz indeed.
Wait did I just hear an extremely subtle minor version if the lick?
i like that you integrated “the lick” a couple times
This was suprisingly helpful thanks
The video: play these 3 chords as the beginning
Me who never played piano: I wish I new what these chords are
Just smash some chords that makes your hands stretch
Nice improvising mate!!!
this is what I needed tanks !!! ❤
I always thought Jazz at a basic level was play whatever you feel like then from their it becomes one of the most complex forms of music imaginable.
So potential silly question: since your chords are in G, what's the reason you play the pentatonic in C? Is it a modal thing?
the chords are a 2-5-1 in c so it’s kinda in c
@@leohongjohnson5670 fair enough. I was wondering about the D chord (so 5 chord in G and secondary 2 chord in C; the latter is what I guess it's being used as here) so I get your point!
"how to fake jazz skills"
Step 1: *have jazz skills*
I love this! Instant sub bro
0:12 you really thought you could sneak that one by, didn't you?
this comment doesn't make a *lick* of sense ;)
If you add a fourth chord of C6 after the Cmaj7, then it's just the 2-5-1 chord progression, the foundation of jazz.
Also playing the Am blues (a, c, d, d#, e, g, a) scale also works really in that key
It already is a 2-5-1
Am pentatonic doesn’t include D#
@@BibleStorm yes and no, it goes through the chords 2-5-1 but the actual chord progression ends in a 1^6, which in the key of C is C6
@@XO.Z52 ah my bad, i mixed up am pentatonic and am blues scales, which are identical except that the blues scale has a D#
When I was a little kid, I used to go “camping” with my grandparents at an RV park. At their rec hall there was a piano and I would always fuck around with the piano by just hitting the white keys. In retrospect probably didn’t sound great but when I was a kid, I swear it sounded like this. That RV park is abandoned now. it was always run down throughout my childhood. But it was always charming.
I used to have a couple of Fender Rhodes. You could literally randomly slap the keys on those things and it'd sound like some quality jazz comping.
Jazz players are just music theory gods struggling to find some melody.
Where can I learn jazz? I have been playing piano for about 3 years on and off and I wish I knew how to play jazz. I have searched TH-cam and can't find a lot of videos, please send some recomendations.
You have come to the right channel.
gonna save this for when and if I ever decide to learn to play the piano

0:22 major el lick
you thought you could hide el lick from us... you'll have to do better than that : )
I commented this as soon as I heard it so I didn't listen to the part right after it... whole phrase based on major el lick is pretty epic
What is el lick?

So you faked ‘Jazz piano skills’ by playing Neo Soul 🤔, got it! 😅
reminds me of some yussef dayes alfa mist stuff. sounds great! also i recommend spicing up the rhythms sometimes just to add some excitement in addition to what is said in the video. playing some stuff out of the key yields a similar effect in my experience.
I really needed to stumble across this video, THANKS!!
I am I am currently crying so hard right now. This is seriously the most beautiful, well put together story ever. I can’t believe how magical it was 1:12. That part truly made me shed a tear. And especially at 6:34 that part was just so truly heart touching words can not describe the series of emotions I felt. I absolutely loved the climax it had insanely excellent detail. Oh and we can’t forget the conclusion. The conclusion was the greatest and saddest conclusion I have ever seen better than any of the books I have read. Thank you so much for creating this absolute masterpiece. This is essentially the most important masterpiece of film history. It is a tragedy that this, it can’t be called a film, but a transcendent emotional experience, will be inaccessible for most. It beautifully encapsulates the human struggle to its basics; suffering, pleasure, faith, despair. It connects with the characters within the viewers, individuals suppressed within our own subconscious. It stays vibrant, fresh, and revolutionizes the art of storytelling and filmmaking while making a damn of statement on what it means to be human. Entertaining, gripping, and simply exhilarating. This might be the most impactful piece of art I’ve come across in my life, and I’m definitely coming back to it in the near future to study it more deeply. this is an absolute masterpiece , I was brought to tears listening to this and seeing the bacon go whirly swirly in a circle countless times. it absolutely moved my soul , and I don't think I can ever be the same. this bacon has changed my entire mental state , I am now at peace with who I am and what I will be doing later in my life. i have forgiven all my enemies and now I am a man of a pacifist life. I will move on , gotta move on , as the song says. the bacon is so inspirational , it shares it vast wisdom with all of us , and we are all so lucky that it would bestow it's great words with us. we are all children on bacon. hail bacon. hail bacon. The spinning bacon, rotating in one direction with this music... This made me tear up. How could such a bacon do such a thing? I'm struck by awe by this masterpiece. Especially when the bacon spins, showing its lightly salt covered tan skin. I can hear the crunch just from here, and so as the beautiful sound of the bacon scraping the dark, smooth velvet floor. The flavor, music and everything can be heard, tasted, seen and felt from a screen. You can really hear the breaths between the music artist, empathizing her love for this rotating bacon. Truly what I call modern art. This was the most legendary performance by any piece of bacon I have ever watched. The acting was top tier and very life changing.

It really inspired me to become an outstanding young man. Thank you.
wow, i mean wow
wait a damn second... YOU ARE ME!!! I DONT REMEMBER POSTING THIS AT ALL
This is just an immature video and entirely misleading. Music in all forms can be simplified to a structure of chord progressions and melody. To proceed to make a video that makes fun of the simplicity, and then perform a difficult set is just off-putting to say the least. It just shows more about your attitude towards the art form.
Only comment I'll ever upvote lol
Nice!! Great playing man
Man was jamming! 👏🏿🫡
I always play some random notes but never felt like this, this is so damn good man
Jazz improvisation: intentionally messing up and making it sound good.
"Fake" jazz piano skills. That aside, sounds so good
This undersells the right hand work. A lot of making jazz make sense is just landing on obvious chord tones on accents which you probably do instinctively now.
Your not faking, Your just teaching people how to compose jazz music
I started training as a classical pianist at 4 years old. In high school the jazz band needed a fill in pianist for a trip to Disney. I recall going over the set list with the regular keyboard player and stressing out a bit over some of the chords. He just said "Oh those chords? Just mash some black keys alternating to add variety. Dag gummit it worked flawlessly.
When he played those 4 notes at the start I totally thought of “face, fabd, egbd, egac, DFAC, dfgb, cegggccc.
Easy no problem, gives super advanced demo.
Ngl it sounds like a banger
