Inside the 3 minute mark, you've unlocked a whole world of new possibilities for me. I am not a new musician and certainly not a good piano player (4rth instrument actually but learning and loving it) but I absolutely understand now how to jam, improvise and NOT use my left hand to just play bass notes in octaves. I will now... Thanks to you... play chords with the left hand and explore melodies and simple solo lines with my right hand. A bit of drill practice and I'll be playing in a totally different way... not having to only play chords with my right hand. Oh yes!!! I am so happy!!! I know... simple stuff for seasoned piano players but this is what I truly needed. Cheers!!! and cheers again to you and all on this channel!!! p.s. The bass player is going to get his parts back!!!
I was waiting for the moment you published a new video. I became a suscriber with the “How to practice” one. This is one of the best piano chanels out there. Thanks a lot. PS I loved the suscribe song 😂 sounds very 30s jazz
If you can make a video showing the practice strategies in context with a standard it would be great. I mean of the strategies of the how to practice video
Thanks dude very kind of you! I haven't released anything but I've been busy! Look out for more. The subscribe song is just me singing to Body & Soul, the tune I break down at the end :)
I like calling it that cos it clearly separates it from the b7th in student's minds. I used to call it a major 7th but then Student's got it confused with the major 7 chord. Guess I could have called it a natural 7th, but b7th and #7th is just a more obvious distinction. I know it's not really correct theory wise, but it makes learning easier, so whatever
@@piano-sauce I dunno, sharps, flats and naturals are such a basic concept students learn pretty early on their journey. Your stuff here is sufficiently advanced enough that if they don't have a grip on that by now, they're in real trouble. If calling it what it is, simply the 7th, confuses them, it seems like it might be better to help navigate them through that correctly rather than changing the language to accommodate their ignorance, which only reinforces it and will make things even more confusing in the long run.
Thank you for this. Merry Christmas to everyone. Stay well, and happy all. 🙏🏻
Unbelievable clear and comprehensive introduction for playing lead sheet jazz pieces. Best greetings from retired grandmother from Finland.

This is simple and I knew this but for some reason this really hit home. Thanks very much.
Sometimes you just need permission to play it simply :)
Excellent or should I say Shexcellent. Liked and subscribed 👍
This is great! Is it almost this easy to use your chart to turn a non-jazz flavored song into a jazz version?
#7th…?

Is it ok to also play the 5th
My question is why are inversions not played. Is this because this is a beginner’s video or is this purposely done?
