This is a masterpiece after your three finger engine videos I feel like I really know how to place my hands on the piano in every situation Thank you really much!
Thanks for the lesson Oliver, and all the efforts you made throughout the whole year to put together this fun and quality stuff! WIsh you Happy New Year and lots of success with new ideas!
Thank you Oliver! I just jumped into Jazz 100% after 30 years practicing only compositions & your lessons are very helpful. My biggest dream is to be able one day to play as much as possible closer to Petrucciani's style. Where I live there is a saying: when the student is ready the teacher appears. Peace & Love
Hi and thank you so much for your voluntary “super thanks” donation - you help keep me going for sure!!! I'm very grateful :) :) :) Best regards from Oliver
Thank you for all your lessons. I don't think anybody could teach this well. You understand how to get the most out of your time. You seem to understand so much on how the mind works when learning. Fantastic!
I definitely Decided to make you my. Mentor and. My Music Teacher you are Amazing Awsome your skills are beyond any Musician I ever heard or seen God Bless you for your unselfishness You really care about The music first and anyone that want to learn you are truly and definitely God sent for those who can't afford A Music Instuctor with your knowledge and skills I Appreciate you beyond words thank you so much
Thank you very much Oliver you have unlocked all my anchored blockages for ...... many years, and I had given up playing jazz. I start again with joy. where is your kitty to make a heartfelt donation of thanks? Vénus from Paris
Hi Vénus and thank you so much. I'm so glad that I can help you on your musical road. And you don’t have to donate anything - a really nice comment like yours is all the support I need :) Cheers from Oliver
You have the amazing gift of teaching. I've been following your videos for quite some time and amazes me how you simplify things that look so complicated. Good job Teacher!
Thanks Oliver. I learned the Pentatonic scales from some of your lessons a couple of years ago and have found them a very useful skill as I attempted to pick up blues improv capability. Coming back to this lesson with some decent blues improv experience this is most helpful and actually makes sense to me now. I will be following you again.
The only issue I'm having is the crossover or under to get to one position to next linking them together to make it sound fluid. Practice and the metronome !!!
@@williamprior1675 Yes, at some point in the future I'm planning to do some no-talk vids with phrases and licks in slow motion; using the hand grips, changing positions ect.
As a student of piano now two years plus, I can observe this: I'm evolving a style, it's completely my own and I don't know what it will sound like. Probably crazy but intelligible. But this much I know for sure: I will always connect through the blues and don't want to leave the sphere in which blues are part of the musical fundament.
Hi Oliver!!Happy New Year and lots of health and happiness to you and your family! Thank you for being so honest and sharing all your knowledge to the whole world! I am trying to play the piano for such a long time now and you are the most influential person in my piano life. Warm regards from Germany!
Only one help i need from you sir, can you make a compilation of how to play like a pro from beginner to professional, understanding each necessary sound to know then to the next
Hi :) Well, I don't believe that the A-Z course is the right way to learn Music. I talk about it in this other video: th-cam.com/video/a735i7FZlmI/w-d-xo.html Cheers from Oliver
Fantastic blues lesson Oliver ! Do you have a lesson on 'how' & ' where' to use them in one or more Jazz Standards to make it sound like a Pro is soloing? Happy New Year! Thank you..
Thanks a lot :) I’m more into “just playing”, improvising, creating “NewJazz” rather than playing some of the old standards. I really hope that’s ok with you… And happy New Year to you too :) Many regards from Oliver
Bravo. A nouveau une magnifique leçon de blues. Merci Oliver de partager ton savoir. Just a little question ❓️ Your are playing à blues in D, I did not understand good. Sorry for my english. What are you playing at the left hand ? Thanks for your next answer. Bien cordialement Véronique
Hi :) In the next lesson I'll play lots of solo lines using the 3 finger motor system. And we do it together with a walking bass - in slow motion and with sheet music. I hope that'll help you. I hope the video will be done by the end of the month :)
Thank you for these amazing videos! One thing I have been struggling with however is to be able to sound like returning to a key center. For this, it sounded very tonic when you returned to g. Any advice on how to give that resolution? Thanks again!
Hi and thanks a lot :) :) :) And good question. I'm actually not totally sure about what I do haha, but I think that I try to end some of the phrases on the g tone - not every phase, but some of them, on a regular basis. Else my best advise to you is to keep on "playing around" with the simple grips - when you hear a nice phrase then repeat and exercise that phrase for a moment - and then play around again - and so on. I hope this was useful to you somehow ;) Many regards from Oliver :)
@@NewJazz thank you so much! I’ve been playing with it and found some flaws to even out. I think expanding my repertoire of licks helped. Not sure if you would be able to offer this but I would be more than willing to pay for private lessons if you would be willing. Thank you so much for responding! Much love from the US.
I've made some videos with licks and sheet music. For example in this one we use the 3-finger hand grip: th-cam.com/video/WZRIn3XmotI/w-d-xo.html Cheers and love from Oliver
Hi and thank you so much :) Correct; if we want to play G Dorian we can do the pentatonic row of 5ths from the keynote G. But in this lesson we don't play Dorian, we play blues ;) Cheers from Oliver
Hi :) Well, each lesson can be seen individually and they are actually not meant for the purpose of being watched in a specific order. So the idea is that you just zap around and choose whatever interests you. Many lessons start up easy and then they get harder and harder. So if a lesson becomes too difficult (or weird) you just skip that lesson and make a fresh start with another one. That’s the main idea!!! But anyway, I’ve made this playlist trying to sort the videos in a suggested order: th-cam.com/play/PLd8gNAxPUcJw1DmmWooCWx_jgKzgBfYGp.html At the front page of the NewJazz channel you also have other different entrances to the lessons: th-cam.com/users/newjazz And on the “playlist tab” you’ll find even more categories/chunks of lessons: th-cam.com/users/newjazz/playlists Cheers from Oliver
So glad to be a Patreon supporter of yours. These lessons are pure gold! Can I ask what keyboard and piano VST you use? Your keyboard seems to have a great action and the piano sound is rich and deep.
Thank you so much!!! I use this VST from Native Instruments: www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/keys/the-grandeur/ The midi-keyboard is a Kawai VPC1 - One button only on the instrument: "on/off" - what more do you need haha ;) Cheers from Oliver
@@NewJazz Yeah - the Kawai VPC1 is a great keyboard. I use the Kawai MP11SE which has a similar grand action feel. I'll have to check out the The Grandeur. Great sound on that VST!
Great - it looks like it's the same wood-key-technique on your Kawai. If you choose to buy the Grandeur VST some day I can send you the settings I use ;) Cheers from Oliver
@@NewJazz Hi Oliver! Please may I ask for your Grandeur VST settings? It sounds perfect, so resonant and rich! Thank you very much for your amazing effort!
@@gorantovic1473 I’ve exported my settings to an "nki" file: www.newjazz.dk/xtra/Grandeur_settings_NewJazz.nki I hope that you can make it work :) Cheers from Oliver
I have a question: in the beginning you shown us wich keys we should press with three fingers for playing blues. Which scale are we and how did you choose these especially notes? How can I find this pattern in other scales? Thank you
Hi :) Good question. We mix both the major and minor blues scale - we learn more about that technique in this other lesson: th-cam.com/video/RhFmme1fmTc/w-d-xo.html Cheers from Oliver
Hi Oliver. I would have a Question: Whats about the "A-Pentatonic" inbetween the "D-Penta" and the "E-Penta"? Do whe not use it because whe have already the Note E in the "E-Penta"? and! because whe have also the B includet? It would not be wrong to play the "A-Penta", that whe do in a PolyModal Situation, right? Only Answer if you find easely Time. THX Oliver
Hi :) Yes, correct, you can indeed use the A-penta as well. I just didn't want to include too much stuff, because I wanted to show how simple a blues can be - in a tonal sense ;) Cheers from Oliver
Great lesson as always Oliver, thank you!! I wonder how these 4 and 5 'upper orange' notes are called. It's a very common sound, I was curious from which music style it originates (country? blues?) but couldn't find it.
For example, a 7 note heptatonic major scale is also known as "Ionian" with the tones in this scale, expressed as numbers from 0 to 11 giving a pitch class set of {0,2,4,5,7,9,11}. What are the name(s) and pitch class of the scale you use in this video? [Because if partial blindness I cannot see the exact notes you are playing.]
In the the start of this lesson we place the 3 finger grips (graphic numbers on the keys show the piano fingering) so that we mix two scales actually; the G minor (g-bb-c-#d--d-f) and the G Major blues scale (g-a-bb-b-d-e). Cheers from Oliver
Hej Oliver, jeg tager chancen, gætter på du er dansker .....??? Syns jeg kan høre det :-) Super fedt. Hvis du er fra Kbh området vil jeg meget gerne booke et par lektioner hos dig hvis du er frisk.... mvh Peter

Thank you really much!
Undoubtedly you have a gift. Your peculiar soft but intense way of lessoning deserves admiration and thankfulness.
This 3-finger concept is, for me, a revelation. Thanks 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Finally. Things I've wanted Tobe able to do but no one really demonstrating. You are fantastic. Thank you

The blues is in G. Sorry for my question.

Many thanks for your tutorials! In which scale do you play here? thx 😉
You're so much welcome :) In total we have a mixture of the "G minor blues" and the "G major blues" scale. Cheers from Oliver
@@NewJazz Thanks! Trying to play this on a Novation Launchpad 😉😁
Do you have any tips for working on bass vs solo coordination and independence? Thank you.
