    In this video, I give you a 6-step system to follow which will guide you into the world of improvisation. It's so easy to get overwhelmed with the amount of information out there, so my goal with this video is to simplify it all and give you a roadmap which you can follow.
    We start by learning a chord progression with voicings in the left hand. We then look at various different things such as the minor blues scale, chord tones, modes and a few other things.
    We put it all together in a structured format. This video is meant for you to return to and use as a roadmap, rather than follow along in realtime.
    This video is also a summary of one of my courses within the PianoPig Academy. So, if you would like to see more on this - have a think about becoming a member!

    That opening riff was simple, but the same kind of simple when you start to optimize their details in any art by cutting down the fluff and unnecessary stuff to have exactly what you want to be there, nothing more, nothing less, and it was very smooth!I loved that beat.

      Appreciate Video clip! Apologies for chiming in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you thought about - Riddleagan Smart Hands Remedy (search on google)? It is a good exclusive product for learning piano fast minus the normal expense. Ive heard some super things about it and my old buddy Taylor at very last got excellent success with it.

    The first time I watched this I had no idea in mind but on improvising out of nowhere without an even decent amount of mode knowledge. But now that I know the modes on each scales, I understand this lesson now and it help me broaden again my horizon in jazz playing. Thank you.

    • @febilogi
      @febilogi 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You just have to follow to main scale. Because 2-5-1 is always minor7-dominant7-major7(or min7) and the modes of each chord is dorian-mixolyd-ionian or aeolian but aeolian is too sad for jazz, so they use dorian because it's just one note different on scale :) cmiiw

    This has blown my mind. Are you effectively doing a key change with every chord change? Because with your right hand you’re playing notes in different keys with each chord change. Not familiar with blues music but I’ve always thought of improvisation as being in a single key, and all the chords and right hand melody fit in with that single key.
