Once you discover enclosures, it seems like a veil has been lifted, eh? The rhythmic aspect of placement can be a tough nut to crack, once one knows of enclosures, but ever onwards! If I may blather on, I bought the Charlie Parker omnibook maybe 40 years ago (from Jamey), and I noticed that he (Bird) played chromatic notes near chord tones, but I never (until the past 2-3 pandemic years and youtube vids), knew what was going on, even though I also transcribed plenty solos (a prof at Livingston College back in the day liked to say "solas", which I think is "hipper"). I never got the great clue, which is sort of actually delaying resolution, and this sort of delaying behavior can apply to other aspects of life, ya dig? Great video, and thanks for sharing!
Actually Jeremy all sounds very sensible to me, start simple with one enclosure resolving on the chord change and fill in the other beats as you master it. Great idea!
Love the interlocking enclosures idea, best thing about it is that you only need to practice the technique once and it works in all keys. I think this will be my new 'safety net' if I'm finding myself lost in the changes :) Thanks for the quality lesson!
Thank you Jeremy I like it a lot ! Can you please make a video on playing group of 3 in the left hand or grouping ou 5 in the left hand ? And tips to Work on ostinato on the left hand thank you
Hmmm, you mean comping in different rhythms? I have a cool video coming out with Ed Simon in exactly a week where he talks about ostinato left hands, so stay tuned!
Great lesson, great illustrative examples, thanks Jeremy! -In the case of the chromatic enclosure & turn (see at 6:45'') I often prefer doing the trill (turn) with whole step above (c# d# c# b c). This may sound a bit "out" (it can be considered as G7alt->C) but I prefer the whole step trill. What's your opinion?
Nice - good insight! I’m all for it! It’s fun to practice the “turns” (or “trills” as you say) on both half steps and whole steps. You can get some really funny combinations sometimes, but I think they are cool ways to ornament the chord (and you’re right about the implied G7 for the one above the root)
A lot of this is! There’s no single section on enclosures, but a lot of this stuff comes up in other places in the book, particularly in Jazz Piano Fundamentals, Book 2.

7:41 that was so cool lol. definitely made me smile. I want to learn how to play like that.
Aw, thanks! You'll get there! Happy practicing!
This sounds much jazzier and is much simpler to grasp than having to memorise a different mode for each chord.
Agreed! Enclosures are where it’s at!
I don’t even think of modes when improvising.
How on earth the idea of learning all the "mode scales" to learn jazz permeated the education side of it is really beyond comprehension.
@@imalamboman12 I guess it makes sense for modal jazz tunes, but yeah for standards it’s a bit weird and unnecessary I feel.
@@jsw0278 yeah sure. The thing is though if you know the 12 major scales, every mode is derived from those.
This is the best and simplest (in a good way) lesson on this indispensable bebop device. THANK YOU!
I’m honored! Thanks, Jared!

That must mean that you’re mad like me!
The most fun you can have , it's a blast.
Yesss! Enclosure MADNESSSS!
Awesome lesson 🎉 I feel like I’m playing jazz 😮
Great tips and exercise at the end there 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Good job of covering the many permutations with context. Bravo!

Woahh they are cool in triplets too!! I think you've just transformed me!!
Seriously! People use this all the time and it sounds pretty damn great.
true! it's a melodic rip cord to pull.
The last exercise was kool..simply useful
Excellent point on practicing the correct rhythm.
Thank you! That's the #1 stumbling place in my experience.
So much in this lesson. I had to subscribe. I'm going to try this out as much as possible when I get back to my guitar.
Excellent! Have fun with it, Edward!
Thank you, Jeremy. I finally understand what enclosures and turns are.(one step further into the Jazz mystery school. 😁) 🔥🔥🔥🔥
very clear and concise . thank you!
Wonderful lesson,Thank you !
wow ! so nice to see u here ! i am starting to practice enclosures and thank u for this !
Just discovered your channel, great stuff! Subscribed! 15:35
Thank you and welcome!!!
Many thanks Jeremy - another great lesson!
Hey there Cliffy. My pleasure. I’m glad you liked it!
Thank you Jeremy I like it a lot !

Love you much... always
Aw thank you!
These ideas can also apply to other instruments.
Totally!
Great lesson ! Thanks Jeremy!
“If you want to be a true enclosure ninja, you can use both…” 😆

Hoy can you go from right to left?
Can I enroll in your course still or must I wait til spring? [Dramatically brushes hand against forehead]
Nope - gotta wait for the spring. Sorry! You’ll have to live off these TH-cam videos for now. 😂
i like it!
Are these concepts in your book?
A lot of this is! There’s no single section on enclosures, but a lot of this stuff comes up in other places in the book, particularly in Jazz Piano Fundamentals, Book 2.
Thank you. I bought in your site the double version. Thanks for your help.
So clear, helpful, and inspiring. Thank you!
Double from both😵…In and Out says it best…Double Double? 😂
"Stink early" that's the way I play! L O L!
