Yes, Self-discipline and the desire to please yourself at the piano before others is key, it also helps if you enjoy Misty for an hour. Just lovely Aimee, you do it so well.
Me! I play jazz guitar. Never touched a piano in my life ,but I was enthralled with this tutorial and it has given me a new approach to a tune I have never played really well..Thanks.
I love this practicing journey so much, you are the greatest teacher I ever met !!! This is not only showing the step of practicing, it is very important to told us that we are human, sometimes get lost and do some silly mistake during practicing is absolutely normal!
I woke up with misty on my mind, went to youtube hoping to find something to fulfill this thirst, and I find my favorite youtube pianist playing the damn tune for 1 hr straight?? It's like Christmas in October or what
you are by far thee best teacher on here.. and i LOVE your realness... of showing that you're human and make mistakes when you practice.. thank you for that!
Love your modulation to different keys, very impressive. I play Misty often, along with about 30 jazz standards just for the fun of it. I try to always vary the tempo and key if possible, along with different layer options on my Roloand FP-7F. Being a self taught piano player I am always inspired by your skill and playing sensitivity, not to mention your singing voice.
How do you manage to play the melody in your right hand? Do you play it completely by ear or do you retrieve it by thinking of the scale of the key you're playing in?
@@1000lino I usually play by ear, creating both single note and right hand chords for variety. At times I will play a base line with the left hand when I split the keyboard with a walking acoustic bass on the left and piano on the right.
You are amazing !! Thank you Aimee for all that jazz ! I love your way to play, it's full of tenderness ! Thank you for sharing your knowledge you're an exceptional teacher !
I love this idea. I often do this with new songs I'm learning. I'll start with just bass motion, then add skeleton chords, then standard voicings then custom ones, quartal and maybe quintal voicings, then start arpeggios, then get the melody tight with some LH voicings then start to loosen up the melody and open it up for some improvisation. That helps me choose different scales I might want to use when improvising and come up with some ideas that play off of the head whether those be rhythmic or melodic. Mainly though, it's just a lot of continuously looping through the changes and trying to see the tune from all of the different sides and facets. Playing through it repeatedly I think is the only real way to really internalize a song and make it part of yourself so you can really play a version of it that reflects the original song and your personality and interpretation at the same time. Great video, thanks!
That was fun... and funny. Guitar players have it a bit easier when transposing... I enjoyed watching your thought process and It really helped me learn the structure of this tune by playing along. Thanks!
@@Johnwilkinsonofficial Smooth as butter. Always love his right and left hand lines/runs. Oscar can always take you to a heavenly place with his ballads.
Pick a lane, walking bass, striding, comping, circle of 5th'ing it, tempo change-ups, lol Now that's a practice regime, I did pickup a few things to this classic I'm going to play with, thanx, Kudos, great vid ;-)
This definitely is the biggest brain breaker of all your vids. I listened to this the first time in bed, not trying to stay awake, but trying to keep pace, and I got brain tired enough to fall asleep without playing. There's no groove to help you keep up, like in the Cmin for 25min vid, this is real focus. I was just thinking the other day, "So many videos say 'all 12 keys'. Really? " I'm still learning to read. That's my focus here. And I don't have a lot of time, so 12 is 11 too many right now. LOL But this excellent. A lot of knowledge here. Keep it comin' professor.
One of my favorite of your videos. It got me motivated about things to try, but wasn't so deep that I was just lost. This is a case of where I'm sure you'd like to expound on some of the amazing choices, but by just plunging forward and covering more ideas it worked better (and there are *other* places to drill into understanding/explaining arpeggios, etc.). But the limited narration that _is_ here is all fine. All gold, actually. Just the right amount. In the end, an ideal balance and pace to make a "motivational video" at least for me.
40:53 deciding to go after that high E instead of only the D-flat. That's the kind of thing that turns me on. That E is so elevating and potent vs. the D-flat - it makes your shoulders twitch while you were merely nodding along. It's feels like a master move, the kind of thing great lead guitar solos and great prog exploited. Like the crescendo note on a passionate air guitar expression. Fist slam in the air and "oh hell yeah." Yes. That E instead of the D-flat :)
Raw! Love it. I like to think Clare Fischer had to go through this onto the way towards his ridiculous, modulating solo piano take of Yesterdays ... we only ever seen the finished product :) Thanks for the glimpse inside the sausage factory :P
Barry Harris tells a story about a time He and Monk played My Ideal for 90 minutes straight. He took one chorus then Monk took a chorus for 90 minutes. Can you imagine? Wish the Baroness would have recorded that. Beautiful video Aimee.
In this culture of everyone only posting what they do perfectly, I think it’s important to keep it real. I don’t mind when people see my mistakes. And I’m always happy when I see others’ mistakes! I understand that it makes us feel better to know that people aren’t perfect.
@@AimeeNolte I agree with you, Aimee! - It is also very intresting to follow your thoughts and your way of finding the right chords. It is like to sit near you and learn together. Thank you for the much appreciated video.
@@AimeeNolte Thank you for your post. It shows me how much I have to practice. And that it is okay to make mistakes in my practice. It is inpiring to me! And if one is lost in a piece, just play a bunch of notes while one tries to come back.
Those open two note per hand voicings are so hard. After years of tackling them I still don't gravitate to them naturally. Must be a little knack I'm still not getting after 15 years attempting them.
B major is my absolute favorite key. I love that key. Always have. I remember when I was playing piano, and my teacher would make me play and see. I did not like that. So I would hit the transpose button on my keyboard so at least it would sound like I was playing in b. And I would say d is my second favorite.
Hey Aimee, check this out if you have a few minutes. It's Misty re-imagined as a bluegrass tune by the Del McCoury band. The first time I heard it I was driving around just absent mindedly listening to some tunes and said to myself: Whoa, wait a cotton-picking minute, that's Misty they're playing. Link: th-cam.com/video/J-YU7tRpEE0/w-d-xo.html
Great video Aimee. Love seeing your hands moving on the keyboard in such a fantastic way. May I say as a side note that the angular view on the keyboard makes it a bit difficult to follow the hands. The classic upright view maybe would be more beneficial for us students...but anyway thanks for all you do for the community!
Thank you for this video! I am a vocalist and I’m singing this song for some university auditions in the coming months. Any tips on scatting over the first section?
Hey, it's the girl in Bom Boms Blues! For real! How's that 'ring tone riff' doing becoming a "thing" by the way? :) Is it being found in church hymns, Santana solos, etc. ?! (34:20)
If I transcribed a tune to all keys and used my transcribed sheet music would it help me? Or should one try to do this without sheet music. It seems monumental to try and do that. But I really like the idea of doing this with simple but nice tunes. This I think would help my hand independence very much. As I struggle with walking baselines very much. I think it is worth it for that alone. Could anyone please tell me if this is going to be helpful.
I wouldn’t write it out in all 12 keys. Maybe just one or two of the most difficult keys if you need the practice writing things out and choosing which spellings to use, etc, but otherwise-just do it in your head.
Hey Aimee ! I'm a pianist beginner, and I'm currently learning this song : th-cam.com/video/ZcwPNZeMIHQ/w-d-xo.html. I have troubles with the left hand part at 1:30, it's basically quintuplet arpeggios. could you please give me some tips on how to practice so it gets easier ? Thanks so much !
But super great idea to perpetually cycle 12 keys for an extended period of time, no easy task, and that bridge turnaround is kind of peculiar... Bravo! But next time, let’s hear a click on beat 4😊
Still watching 2 years later... thank you!
Doing the mental gymnastics of key changes/which sharps and flats...whilst keeping the tune riding....made my head all Misty
"Hi everybody, welcome to Aimee Nolte Music"
*instant like*
Acid God I went up to like the video after I saw this but then I saw I already did 🤣
can't get enough of that tune...well maybe after an hour

Yes. I will be here a lot. Can't play along right now, but will watch/listen along this time around. Thank you tremendously for this.
Love that swing! Thank you.
This is exactly what I've wished to see - particularly someone as accomplished as yourself Aimee. Thank you very much for sharing this! D
Reminder for myself to transcribe the lick at 4:07 and drill it into my fingers! That's a good one!
If you practised an hour of this every day varying the tunes day by day we'll be flying
You are amazing !! Thank you Aimee for all that jazz ! I love your way to play, it's full of tenderness ! Thank you for sharing your knowledge you're an exceptional teacher !
Aimee, it's nice to know that you ARE NOT a piano playing goddess, and in fact you are, in reality, human.
Thank you, if for nothing else, for reminding the world that it’s work to get good.
...and that I have work to do before I get there. 😑
You play beautifully
That was amazing ! I know you have worked hard to do that. What a gift you have !!!

yet again free masterclass. thank you :)
I really enjoyed this vid, I will watch this over again because I learned somethings (playing a song in every key) with different styles. WOW
do you still offer lessons?
WooHoo!! First one! Love this song. Great basic one to improv with!
That was fun... and funny. Guitar players have it a bit easier when transposing... I enjoyed watching your thought process and It really helped me learn the structure of this tune by playing along. Thanks!
Enjoyed, I have played this song in Eb for 55 years.
Misty is now a must-play for me. Mille Grazie for the idea..
My Favorite Jazz Standard. I loved Oscar Peterson's rendition ( Compact Jazz 1987). It's absolutely beautiful.
how did you feel about it on chorus two thousand. 😑
@@Johnwilkinsonofficial Smooth as butter. Always love his right and left hand lines/runs. Oscar can always take you to a heavenly place with his ballads.

Brave, very brave... Brave and Beautiful, Aimee... You're my hero!
So funny and so good! I love this journey.
you deserve more views, for a talented musician
With headphones, it sounded like a real upright bass

This is really stupendous. As a guitar player I envy your facility on the instrument of piano. Maybe I should switch!
It's kind of comforting that such an outstanding player such as Aimee can make some silly mistakes sometimes!😁

In music there are no mistakes, they're marvelous accidents.
Impressive! I think I can never do that. Love your phonestand btw ; )
Those open two note per hand voicings are so hard. After years of tackling them I still don't gravitate to them naturally. Must be a little knack I'm still not getting after 15 years attempting them.
My piano teacher could do that. She worked hymnals by transposing them until she could effortlessly (at least to me) play anything in any key.
0:21 take the tune Misty...and 'plaaaaay the SHIIIIT* out of IT.'
B major is my absolute favorite key. I love that key. Always have. I remember when I was playing piano, and my teacher would make me play and see. I did not like that.

Aimee, do you think there is a point in virtuosity where ultimately you really don't have to think anything anymore?
Not if you want to keep progressing
Aimee do you have a video that teaching very beginning modulation?
Hmm...maybe not. But maybe my rootless ii V I exercise might be a good one
Look at me look at miluk at miluk at miluk at miluk at miluk at miluk at me
Wow you should do a stride piano tutorial
I have one :)

That’s impossible for 1 person’s hands to play independently. 😳
I really believe there are two people with similar hands hiding off camera playing. 🙃
I mean, you're joking, right?
Is it a sin that I main the Ray Stevens version
How do you modulate?
you take the nearest scale after you done a loop and then consider it as a tonic
am i really watching this whole thing? It seems xd
very beautiful playing
but one little thing: misty is not swing, so its pay attention you dont play it too 'swingy'!
No song IS swing. Any song can be played in a variety of styles. That’s part of what makes jazz so fun.
Bla-bla-blaaaaaaa... Wasn't there a movie, Don't Play Misty Anymore!
😩
Too fast, and no metronome? Not a good combination...
But super great idea to perpetually cycle 12 keys for an extended period of time, no easy task, and that bridge turnaround is kind of peculiar...
