OK now for real: You teach the way one is expected to be taught at Berklee, G.I.T. or Juilliard. By that i mean i feel like i get the opportunity to be there and being allowed to catch up with what was never possible for me. Studying Jazz Concepts presented in a fun, educational and especially understandable way. Eternal gratitude. You are a phenomenal teacher. Greetings from Germany, Chris
You hit a perfect spot between entertaining and pedagogical with these improvisation videos. I can't stress how much I've learned from your system; but not only that -- I feel very inspired to play and keep practicing with your videos, thank you!
I've been taught triad pairs before, and what you've done is take an exercise and make it into music. I've been working on this for a month, and continue to find incredible value each time I work on it. In my sextet, we just started working on Tom Harrell's "Terrestris" which is ... triad pairs! Glorious triad pairs! I have this sudden and immediate insight into a tune I just discovered. My musical skill has taken a huge leap because of this inspiring teaching you created - THANK YOU!
I absolutely love this! As a classical trained musician, I have no Idea how to improvise. Thank you so much for showing the sheet music in your video (and for download)! This is exactly what I was looking for!
With this one video I've absorbed so much more information on how to create interesting lines on my sax, my keyboard and marimba solos! The way you express the emotional component and how it relates to the specific triad pairs and rhythmic combinations makes so much sense to me, I feel like it's starting to open the door to the next level of jazz improvisation understanding for me! Instantly subscribed!
Yesss! This is what I call knowing how to take advantage of audio and video editing resources for educational purposes! very good! our pioneer hero Jamey Aebersold would have loved to have had all these facilities in his time! Congrats, and thank you! Warm regards from Brazil 😊
It's late at night here in a little African village, and I've wondered into the advanced musical landscapes, bizarrely feeling like a traveler from Bradbury's Martian Chronicles, experiencing a coruscation of sublime titillation.
Amazing work, well done. I just bought the product. Doing triad pairs and lines over various standards, going outside, etc would be something else I would buy.
Brilliant, brilliant. Thank you for so many great ideas. I am in awe. *Edit to say:* Video format and editing and quality is absolutely superb. Even down to the little static in the voiceover.
This is brilliant, Nick!! Your method is both fun and effective. Keep up the wonderful work. I would love to see you make a video on simple ideas to play "outside" for short phrases using arpeggios (dominants and/or diminished). This has always challenged me. I hear beautiful passages in lots of music where the soloist steps outside on an arpeggio and it sounds awesome!
Tu trabajo es EXELENTE Nick!!!! Me has ayudado y creo que también a muchísimas personas y estamos profundamente agradecidos. Espero poder conocerte personalmente y compartir unas tríadas y unos mates, cuando vuelvas a Argentina sabé que tenés un amigo y un lugar en Bariloche. Saludos a John Surman...
This is awesome, well executed. Once in a while I come back to one of your exercises that I LOVE to practice , the harmonization of major and three minors diatonicly using I IV V. Thanx Nick, thank you man.
Firstly that was amazing, with great editing. I was thinking, maybe you could show the notation of the line about to be played about 2 seconds before it actually plays so that those cats whom can sight-read like machines could play along. It ain't me, but it's an idea.
Very good, a little confusing that it switched from the Fmin in the explanation (original key) and the notation is in Gmin. Truly awesome technique regardless...
I _thought_ it sounded like the notation was in a different key! I was trying to play along and it didn't sound right! Is there some place I can find these exercises in Fm?

Agreed. Its fantastic.

I know! I just want to go pick up my instrument now!
I agree 100%. I am salivating here, guitar in hand. Thank you!
Well done. Great tune, great descript, and simple mapping true to Hancock colorings
the quickest easiest cure for scalitis that simultaneously brings depth to scale knowledge, awesomely done as usual.
Why thank you Jazz Duets. You're a gentleman and a scholar.
Solid stuff as always Nick!! 👍
thanks Jens!

The only educational video where you dance while you learn. The group of 5 in 16th and triplet are sooo groovy.
Thanks !

You are by far my favourite jazz teacher.
This is one the best lesson (if it s not the best)” about something” in you tube universe.
Deep respect Nick!
I always come back to this 👍

I'm not even a sax player (not anymore at least) and this is one of the best vids I've seen to break that stale improvising plateau

thanks!!!
Just about the best jazz improv lesson ever! Haha, the editing is on point, man... The material is solid as well. New fan!
Bro this video is pure gold
I m preparing for Berklee and it's such a nice thing to have you ! Keep up the great job !
just… wow! This video alone will provide years of lines practice!!! :-) Thanks
Wonderful video!! It opens the door to a hole not-linear world of jazz improvisation. it makes you play as a pro...FINALLY!!!! Thank you...
Tough to find thoroughly useful jazz lessons on TH-cam... Well done!
Really knocks me off! Far away from my skills, full of wonder and promises - keeps me exploring these dimensons. Thx.
Very nice introduction to improvization and somehow to coltranian style
Mindblowing yet so simple stated. The explanation itself is art. Congratulations!
what a lovely soprano tone
Nick you have a great tone and play your soprano very well. Excellent. Thank you for the great lesson.
It's late at night here in a little African village, and I've wondered into the advanced musical landscapes, bizarrely feeling like a traveler from Bradbury's Martian Chronicles, experiencing a coruscation of sublime titillation.
Brilliant presentation of excellent info! Thank you.
You really know How to produce amazing vídeos !!
Thanks a lot. One of the best things in youtube, absolutetly inspiring.
Excellent and fun ... what more could you want!
Sick! On this tune I usually superimpose major triads over the chords to give it an “outside” sound.
Can u elaborate a little bit more? If u want to :)
muy agradecido ANGEL LAFUENTE, , buenos deseos para usted y su familia...
an amazing display of knowledge
One of my favorite standards! Thanks for this!
Amazing work, well done. I just bought the product. Doing triad pairs and lines over various standards, going outside, etc would be something else I would buy.
Most usefull video I've ever seen in last couple of years.
I'm really blown away by the quality of this vid. Amazing job dude
Great video! I especially love that floating 13th that you end your phrase on over the Gminor at 6:01. :)
The best jazz teacher!
From Chile, thanks a lot my friend, you are awesome your knowledge is deep about teaching!
The washed out vocals between the exercises are like honey on my eardrums
Just fantastic! Grande Nick

Great piece of music! And it works!

This is awesome, well executed. Once in a while I come back to one of your exercises that I LOVE to practice , the harmonization of major and three minors diatonicly using I IV V. Thanx Nick, thank you man.

bro this content is great, keep it coming
Way above my skill set, but great lesson 👍🏼
Beautiful arranging!
Is there an explanation as to how you have selected these particular triads over each chord? Thanks for the lesson!
There are usually a couple of triads that occur naturally in each chord scale; thats how he's choosing!
Thank you!! You're an amazing teacher.
Haaaa :D
As always, it's such a groovy presentation of the stuff, so it's unreal to stop playing this exercises!
Thank you for such a great job, Nick!
Jesus is Lord..... This is great stuff, thanks a lot for sharing and making it in Bb. This is The best triad pair lesson ever...
Firstly that was amazing, with great editing. I was thinking, maybe you could show the notation of the line about to be played about 2 seconds before it actually plays so that those cats whom can sight-read like machines could play along. It ain't me, but it's an idea.
This is bloody brilliant!
this video is a blessed gem
The only word I can use now is: awesome!!!
Very good, a little confusing that it switched from the Fmin in the explanation (original key) and the notation is in Gmin. Truly awesome technique regardless...
I _thought_ it sounded like the notation was in a different key! I was trying to play along and it didn't sound right! Is there some place I can find these exercises in Fm?
It says nicely on 2:09 that this was notated for Bb instruments (Soprano and tenor sax, Bb trumpet etc.)
Very clear explanations , thanks a lot
Great! Than's! I'm Brazilian!
This video will last me a good study! Thanks!
wow this video is awesome!! great info and I love the video production itself!!
Great work man. Got the pdf too, very useful. Thanks!
Extremely instructive and enjoyable! Well done!!
great stuff very Branford Marsalis
Is that Drum sample from Do It Again by Steely Dan? It has that same wavering feel
was thinking the same thing, hah!
Right this is just awesome..... really really awesome 👏 in every way....how can this have thumbs down ..really don’t get that
The best!! Greetz from Sweden.
Awesome! I love these etudes.
Love it love it love it!! Is there another video which discusses how to choose the triad pairs for each chord?

Gracias por todo lo que das !!!
Hands Down This video is Tops!
