![Advanced Pentatonic Voicings McCoy Tyner Style - [Jazz Piano Tutorial]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/zRq2NZJhQb4/mqdefault.jpg)
I agree with you that what McCoy does is "the kind"; I've essentially found it ageless ever since I learned Passion Dance on the Guitar when it first came out. My soloing was immature, but my comping, although weak too, was better because I could hear it more or less. Very kind of you to share this!
Thank you so much! For me as an piano jazz beginner/intermediate bass player the first time that I understand part of the sound not only of McCoy Tyner but also of John Coltrane. What a fantastic Tutorial
I haven't studied modal playing from a theory standpoint, so this was a good lesson for me. I already knew the theory of pentatonic scales so the concepts were easy to grasp. I know I have unconsciously used modal playing while improvising and was always pleased with the outcome.
WOW, these are the best tutorials I have found so far! As a classical musician who wants to learn jazz, your tutorials are incredibly helpful! Thank you! I'm so glad I found this and will be watching all your videos!!
Outstanding tutorial. The best on McCoy' style I've ever seen. Bravo
Excellent work - McCoy is a favorite of mine and you do a great job of slowing down the patterns to show us the meat and bones of his iconic style. Really helpful.
First class tutorial. Clear, precise harmonic explanation and an obvious love of the music. Fine work sir
centurymusic glad you dig it
Thank you so much for this video! I'm learning "Afro Blue" in class and this has been very helpful! I love the McCoy Tyner sound :).
One of the best lessons. Thank you
Excellent introduction to the topic. Thank you so much!
Thanks for the lesson. Great stuff! Please keep doing what you're doing!
Wow....... You make it look so easy. Thank You for Sharing This.
Dr. Masami Teraoka fine artist: Great lesson! Thanks!!!! I loved it. Cheers!!!!
this is a very useful lesson!! Keep on doing what you do!!!
Great! I've learned a great deal.
Excellent lesson!
Just great! Thanks so much for offering this!!!!!!!!!
I fell that Christmas came early. Thank you!
Wonderful. Thank you.
Very Useful Lesson! thanks!
Awesome!
About 6:45 you played the pentatonic in clusters. That was kinda smooth :-)
Thanks a lot!!! Gracias totales
The F belongs to the Bb pentatonic discussed in the video. If you wanted, you could even think F major pentatonic over the Dmin. The 'f' is also in the Ab maj (Fmin) pentatonic when I play the Fmin voicing in the LH.
pure mccoy style!!!!
great. thanks
muito bom obrigado
Pretty cool. You show that jazz doesn't have to be super complicated to sound good.
GREAT Lesson. I am really interested in Passion Dance, I believe McCoy uses what my teacher calls the "6-tonal system" with that tune. What are your thoughts on that and could you maybe do a lesson on tonal systems?
Its really interesting! Maybe a touch advanced for me.
can you point me to the free pdf please. the link does not take you to it...many thanks
How do you use the pedal in something like this? Half pedal at chord changes? Or just on beat 1 with Dm?
I would not use the pedal too much if you're just starting. It's easy to make the lines sound muddy.
Okay, thanks! Once I got comfortable with it, how can I incorporate the pedal? I can almost play it up to speed now, but I'm trying the pedal in certain places and not quite satisfied with it..
SO BADASS
So are you staying in modes relative to the current harmony or chord and not using accidentals and is this what defines the MT sound?
The only problem with this excellent tutorial is that one cannot hear your soft vocal comments over the sound of the piano. You might raise your voice a bit so as to give the listener a bit more of the instructional process. Especially at around 7:20 into the clip.
so this seems to be sort of the second mode of the C major pentatonic for the d minor tonality ? but I see you playing a lot of f naturals in your improv which is not in C maj pent scale. So hey can you clear this up for the common layman
Can you tell me what brand grand piano this is? And size too. Great tutorial.
Is there a partition ? please get the link
thank 's
McCoy has stated he didn't have the ability to easily mimic like others(Bill Evans too). His style makes sense and is used by many who can't really play like Bud Powell or Oscar Peterson to name a few. Plus this style of playing has now become cliches! I'm bored with imitators ,where are the innovators really swinging with the Blues as foundations? Barry Harris, Kenny Baron and Joe Sample addressed the schoolboy/girl approaches accurately. Jazz is basically dead except because few non musicians can dance or remember the math based melodies of the school kids now having to make a100.00 gig. Many of the innovators didn't have to finish High School or attend Universities. The lesson is a hommage to McCoy certainly and too many have to play like him.to sound intelligent/hip.
I got a little lost at some point in your post, but I definitely agree that this approach has become kind of cliched. I loved the sound of it when I first heard it, but after hearing McCoy, then Chick, and then the 10,000 other guys who played this same way, I kind of feel like, "It's been done." And maybe we even need to question the assumption that the blues has to be the foundation. As much as I love blues-based jazz, I have to admit there are some interesting European cats who aren't really blues-based in their playing. Maybe the future of jazz is to be a global improvising music, not necessarily based in the American blues.
👏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
what do you think of Barry Harris he hate model playing and he said that you should not be playing chords with your left hand
foxybrown2 Let Barry do Barry and Mcoy do Mcoy
AMEN!
6:14
do u make money teaching free online?
solo jazz
Most excellent! Please check out my video, McCoy Tyner Style D minor jam. Now, mind you, I'm just working the left hand voicings. I don't have the pentatonic scale down yet. Thx 4 posting, Will in Newport News
Very cool. The way your micing the piano is kinda harsh
this is a bad analysis
tyner think it as an overall theory as coltrane use to earned to do. fm over d is JUST à locrian mode there is absolutely nothing out playing about it.
out would have been Bbm penta or Ebm penta. most of the time tyner is staying blues dm anyway.
