You go there where other Teachers haven't been befor...Why??? You've got a deep philosophical level in Both playing, self Teaching, and sharing to self taught You Tube Pianists who also have got real teachers or teach them selves stillinteresting allthough I am doing the same things...Jeremy, you are a Great Gentleman-Musicion fluorishing of the True Spirit of Musicionship...and never bored of diving Deeep in Music Truth: Art and Science-aspects....Thank You for everything!!!!!
it takesmeanother 20 years at least to get where you are...but I know my theory I need to make like 9 hours aday 5 years or 10 years at least to get somewhere...
Wow this is very helpful, I always see players playing so many chords that aren’t written and i’ve wanted to for so long. This will get me started! Thanks Jeremy
Ok seriously, I’m a bit late to the party, but this dude kicks serious ass all over the place with this.. I never thought about doing this and I’ve been composing and playing since the late 80s… I am headed to the Roland right now to try this out..
Excellent! Saw a video where Kenny Werner did a similar thing. He had students call out random bass notes that he used to re-harmonize "My Romance" It showed me that anything is possible with good inner voice leading.
wow! finally I know how other musicians do that!....I´ve always wondered how!! but man....I know when I try that on my piano.....pretty sure I´ll be like children learning to read!.....saying every word super slow!
I have a question: When you do the exercise, are you thinking about each chord first, then find the voicing really fast? Or are you first coming up with chord shapes that you're used to (that fall naturally under your fingers, knowing that they form valid voicings) and identify the chord after? And do you actually identify each chord at all?
Hi Francesco, instead of thinking of a different version of the game, I would start very slowly/out of time or write out the chords if you have to. Then you can work up towards improvising the harmonies in this style.
Such a great exercise, I’ve been having lots of fun with this - thanks Jeremy (PS I got your book👍) I have a big question, I can harmonize most notes several ways but I always struggle very much when the bass note and melody note make an interval of b9 - there seems to be only the option of dominant7b9, which usually sounds kind of bad with a strong melody and weird bass note (rather than the other way around). Any advice/suggestions to navigate those, or do we treat it just as a passing chord and move through it? (That sometimes works but not if it happens on the last note of a phrase😂). It happened here at the end of your first descending bass semitones example, and I can’t see what you did (definitely some kind of weird B chord with a C in the melody). Any tips most gratefully appreciated!!
Wow, great question! I think it depends on context. Yes, I do think that dominant seventh flat ninth is a great way to go. It could also be useful to think in slash chords, like C/B or Ab/B (similar to a B7(b9), I know) or F/B (also similar), or G triad add4. You're right, though the dominant seventh flat ninth is going to be the bread and butter in those situations.
@@JeremySiskind thanks so much for the reply! I will explore the slash chord idea too :-) . My other often tricky one is interval flat 6 (eg melody Ab over bass note C). Again, the dom7 (this time b13 and b9) seems the easiest in most situations, but I find sometimes thinking of inversions eg Ab Major in first inversion. You’re right that it always depends on context! I find the first inversion sometimes comes under my fingers more quickly but I don’t know a good colorful way to voice it - often sounds a bit bland. Maybe add9 would help? Anyway as always, thanks for the inspiration and for taking time to respond on TH-cam to random strangers like me! ;-) Cheers, Patrick
Thanks for watching, Gary! I probably wouldn't call them functional in any traditional sense. The point of the exercise is just to get really fast at finding chords given a specific bass and melody. I think you can worry about function a little later.
Hello! I loved your content so much. I have been trying to find for TH-cam video that informs the ideas in this TH-cam vid! 🙌Your lesson totally reminds me of the videos of Doctor Ethan. Dr's demonstrations are useful and I really learned a lot for my midterms. Go check out his channel out and give the medical student a like over here! 👉 #DoctorEthanQandA
You are a great pianist but not so good in explaining. You just assume we know 70% of the ideas in your head. It would be nice to take your time and just go through the mechanics bit by bit. You went a head playing multiple different chords on your right hand right off the bat. Well. Thanks for the videos anyways.

I have just two words to describe Jeremy’s lessons….. “Absolute Genius !”
That is wildly kind, Michael! Thank you!
If you don't have the book, order it right now! This guy is good!!!!
Awwww. Thanks, Pedro!!!!
This is the most extraordinary expository on reharmonization that to date I've encountered. 🎼🎵🎹😎
Wellt hank you for those kind....and rather large...words!!!

Awesome! I also did a whole series on adding chords that aren't on the lead-sheet, if you're interested in that.
Thank you Jeremy sweet angel
So this will be a regular part of my practice regimen - only I have to be cautious and not allow myself to be swept away with discovery 😊😊😊
Fantastic! Enjoy this!
Ok seriously, I’m a bit late to the party, but this dude kicks serious ass all over the place with this.. I never thought about doing this and I’ve been composing and playing since the late 80s… I am headed to the Roland right now to try this out..
Oh yes I do want to play it that way - just as often as I can get away with it 😁😅😂🤣🎼🎵🎹😎
Very nice! We do this in a very simple way in beginning piano harmonization activities using only major and minor triads. Love your examples!
Excellent! Saw a video where Kenny Werner did a similar thing. He had students call out random bass notes that he used to re-harmonize "My Romance" It showed me that anything is possible with good inner voice leading.
Oh cool! I'd be interested in seeing that. Thanks for checking out my video, Erik!
@@JeremySiskind I found it. It's about 20 minutes in but the whole video is great. th-cam.com/video/GiML4bvJK30/w-d-xo.html
@@erikkihss Thanks, Erik!
This is deep stuff, I love free harmonic sculpturing. Thank you
Thanks for checking it out, Ivan! Miss you, buddy!
We appreciate u... Sir Jeremy 🤗
Thanks! I appreciate you taking the time to watch!
I wont be afraid to reharmonize anymore. Thank you!
Yay! I'm glad it helped you!
Thanks for this reharmonization exercise Jeremy. I've not heard of this 'game.' Headed to the piano now...
Ooh, I can't wait to hear the results! :)
excellent teacher!!! and the book is the best I read for solo jazz piano!!
Thanks so much, Marcelo!
wow! finally I know how other musicians do that!....I´ve always wondered how!! but man....I know when I try that on my piano.....pretty sure I´ll be like children learning to read!.....saying every word super slow!
Lush little lamb right there! Love it!
Thank you so much sir ❤️
My pleasure, Anand! Happy practicing!
Stunning lesson, Bravo!! Hope to potentially see an Open Studio course from you soon!
I think you're on track. 😉 Stay tuned!
Very helpful. NOT as easy as it looks - 😉 - to get "down" by half steps! Working on it!
Not easy at all, but well worth your time!
Thank you for new thinking you're genious
Aw, thanks! Enjoy!
Brilliant, thanks a lot!
My pleasure, Steven! Enjoy your practicing!
Thanks! I wish I would have this understanding about 12 years ago. :D
It's never too late! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
WARNING!!! Playing this game is highly addictive! ( As I've found ) 🎼🎵🎹😎
It needs to come with a Surgeon General's Warning. 😂 😂 😂
Impressive

Hi Romain - i like your question! I think it's more the latter than the former (Think about hand shape versus thinking about chord symbols).
This is marvelous. Thank you.
Awesome, I’m so happy you like it! Enjoy your practicing!
Really enjoying your channel Jeremy. Great video, thanks for posting.
So glad you like it. Stay tuned! More to come! :)
Awesome! Many games to play
I know...too many for one lifetime!
Love you much
Awww, right back at ya!
Great STUFF! 😂
Thank you, Curt! Wishing you a great holiday season!
Hi Jeremy. Which of your books would assist with developing this technique?
Do you speak about this subject in your piano solo book ? Thanks
Yes, there’s actually a whole chapter on reharmonization that includes examples and explanations of this game.
Please make more tutorial about jazz Bebop Piano... thanks
I hear ya! Thanks!
Jeremy you are a chord enciclopedia but I am not, do you have an easier version of this game for us beginner jazz pianists?
Hi Francesco, instead of thinking of a different version of the game, I would start very slowly/out of time or write out the chords if you have to. Then you can work up towards improvising the harmonies in this style.
Hi 👋 Jeremy. Which of your books would you recommend first for an intermediate piano player?
Thank you
Probably Jazz Band Pianist is the best place to start!
Thank you very Jeremy. I will try the Jazz Band Pianist.
Does the book "Playing jazz piano solo" have piano techniques? or is it a series of transcriptions ?
It’s all instructional - not transcriptions or pieces. It teaches you how to form your own solo piano arrangements in a variety of styles.
@@JeremySiskind Thanks Jeremy, Me interesa
Fun!
Yay! Thanks, Tom!
@@JeremySiskind Quite welcome - thank YOU! Just ordered your book from your website.
I replied to confirmation email regarding downloading.

Jeremy, what software did you use to write and finalize your book in?
are these chords still functional in these changes?
Thanks for watching, Gary! I probably wouldn't call them functional in any traditional sense. The point of the exercise is just to get really fast at finding chords given a specific bass and melody. I think you can worry about function a little later.
Doooope
Nice, glad you dig it, Zac!
hmm
Hmmmmmmm 🤔 🤔🤔
@@JeremySiskind Thanks Jeremy since heard It I bookmarked it . Il being giving it a deeper dive 🎶🎷🎹
go news
I'm so happy! The boogie woogie is so fun! It's got to be joyful music. :)
