I must commend you on your teaching, I have been with many instructors and you really explain your topic (topics) in a clear and concise manner, in addition, you seem well versed in your theory! GOOD JOB!!!
@@jazzpianoschool I have a doubt, am I wrong or these are not all perfect fourths as @Dan Hicks writes? When you play the chord starting from Eb the first interval is an augmented fourth and the highest interval is a minor third. In fact, if you had to maintain the same intervals (4th+4th+4th+major 3rd) you couldn't be able to respect the grades of dorian mode. Am I right? I just want to learn things well, not a criticism
Thx. Very nice. Looking forward to doing more of these sessions. On another note: Wish I had practice tools for doing runs or sequences in keyboard solos....
I've been playing music on one instrument or another (mainly guitar, but also bass and keyboards) since the mid-70s, but am only now trying heavily to delve into jazz piano. And, regrettably, playing as usual as I've always played-mainly by ear with a large working (but not playing) knowledge of theory. And one thing I've always done on keyboard, regrettably, is play just octaves in the bass, with tetrads (four-note groupings, one finger more than a triad) in the right hand. I don't know why I do that but it’s probably because my early formation imitating Elton John, whom as we all know is a formidable jazz pianist. But could I take this lesson and adapt it, by still playing the octaves in the bass and doing four-fingered chords with the right hand? Mentally I've tried to imagine myself doing what you're doing except my way-and I know that there is a reason that *your* way is better than *my* way-because I guess if it weren't then McCoy Tyner must have been doing it all wrong.
Hi Kamakiri: thanks for the question. As far as trying to play modal voicings like McCoy Tyner, I would suggest sticking to 4th voicings (chords built in 4ths). So that would lead you to 3 note voicings, if with one hand, unless you can stretch a 10th to make it 4 notes with one hand. Quartal harmony gives you a much more open sound and it can mask the tonal center and be used to create tension or resolution more effectively. Hope this helps!
Yes, it helps! Are there any particular tunes you can point to where these types of chords are being played so I can "hear them in action," so to speak?
Footprints by Wayne Shorter. It's in Cm so you can use the chords just as they appear in this video for most of the tune. So What is also a popular one.

Great teacher and thanks for sharing this video my friend. Love to support this channel. Regards from Los Angeles.
Thank you for the comment, Harlond!
As always Brenden great lesson. Thank you
Thanks for the comment, Jeremiah!
I thought the first chord was actually a "Bill Evans chord" first used in "So What." Great video, thanks
It is used in so what around that time people started playing quartal chords
So easy to follow your tutorial. Cannot wait to practice. Cheers!
Masami: thanks for watching and for the comment!

amazin
Thank you, @Mahungu Jazz!
If you forget how it sounds or want to transpose by ear easily just think if it as the the first 5 strings you play when tuning guitar 😈
Hah, that’s an interesting way to think about it! Thanks for the comment, Jay!
It's weird I taught myself alot of this. Sliding through the mode as well
Good fourths but chords and pentatonics scales relations in McCoy style please, thanks very much!!

GOOD JOB!!!
Thank you for the inspiring comment David!
I wish I could give this a thousand likes, it was the most helpful thing I've come across in weeks!
Thank you for the comment, Daniel!
I’m almost a full time musician, I can’t wait to have that dedicated practice time again, I’ll definitely come back to practice this!
Awesome!
good stuff here. I have always played that 'so what' voicing but i havent done the variation with all perfect fourths
Thanks for the comment, Dan. Indeed, the variations give so many different options and versatility. Happy practicing!

Thank you for watching, Sue! Check out some of our other podcasts for runs!
thanks from México 😎🔥
Thank you for watching, Alberto!
Hi I just want to know music name for an introduction song, is very nice
There is no name, just the JPS introduction ;)
Like that^^
Using those in Eolian Context is always a tricky one. How do you go about it?
Hi Mathieu: thanks for the question. Aeolian you mean? I would suggest for minor, just sticking to Dorian mode as opposed to aeolian mode.
Done an exercise using the minor pentatonic. This Dorian is interesting.
Thanks for the comment - Dorian is the perfect minor pallet for soloing over 1 minor chord!
Hearing in tutorials, book ect?? How about in the recordings!
All of the above! Thanks for watching, @Tuomas!
Thank YOU
Great tips
Thanks a ton
Thanks for the comment, Dennis!

That "tch™-ing thing is REALLY annoying. You should keep a metronome set at 120 there instead
