alternate lyrics: Aimee Nolte --- you make jazz voicings easy, beat box brushes, and a a whole-lot-of-swing Spent all night, just binge watching your videos So please, Aimee Nolteee post more stuff
Yet another great video, thanks a lot. @ 1:23 the brushes blew me away. Add a looper and there is the perfect drumset :-) May I suggest a video on your lovely HD&Co piano, like how did you get it, maintain it, etc. Another idea might be a lesson on how you think the pedals of the piano should or might be used.
Just a word of encouragement. I watch a lot of tutorial videos and I appreciate that everyone takes a different approach to what and how they teach. Some are more technical, some just play and don't talk. What I appreciate about your videos and that they seem to get to the heart of the music (the groove, the feel). Thanks for rounding out my tutelage. Keep at it.
Thanks Aimee, you have contributed so much to my learning jazz. I am a single mum and have problems with time. I keep going back to your video, and learning has been incremental, but now I can say I can play a jazz piece. Thank you.
You are the people who make my day always happy. I just hear you to start play this and automatic smile come to my face i dont know why but i feel this really feel this style ... please never stop doing this videos. I love it.. all what u do and how u love music play from heart i am the same .. i feel it so much.. thanks!!!! greetings from Hungary
I'm really glad I found your channel a few weeks ago. I've learned more and made more progress on playing the piano since then than in the previous fifteen years.
I think it was yesterday, Rick... you were speaking about the incredible opportunity today to immerse so fully with genius. What an example. Thank you, Aimee. Love ❤️
Thank you so much- I love your teaching, playing, and voice. I just discovered you yesterday and look forward to learning more. I’m retired now and am enjoying what I love to do most of all! 🎶💕
I've searched for something like this since I was a kid learning the piano. Summertime is my all time favorite standard. You are amazing thank you so much
This is very helpful! Not sure how I missed this simple and more effective approach all these years. Your teaching style represents some of the best I've seen. Thanks!
I watch all of your vids, and really enjoyed this one. I sat for over an hour just playing the G-minor "2 feel", and then when I rewatched, I was even more blown away at your subtlety and finesse. You're an excellent player and teacher. Please keep them coming.
Just watching this video in 2020 with the COVID-19 pandemic in full effect. So many things have happened since March, so many deaths of family and friends, a season's worth of gigs cancelled, and thru it all trying to be stoic and optimistic. Your rendition of Summertime moved me SO much, and as you really got into your solo & began scatting, it hit me how much I miss the magic of playing live with my ensemble, how it makes me feel & the effect it has on the audience. I thought about how this year has been anything but an easy-livin' summer. I played the video again and let go of my stoicism until it was over. Thank you for your gift to me. Hope you and your family are safe and sound.
Thanks Aimee, I've just had a tough day and wanted to chill out for a while. Love the way I can mock up the drummer on "2 feel". Summertime is my heart piece. Many thanks.
Wow - I have always played Summertime in just in a sort of 4 time, although I improvise , your version sounds so much cooler than mine so I can swing into that - brilliant thanks -
great lesson! Thanks! I would love to see/hear lesson on what you do in the left hand from 05:24 to 06:03 (i.e. how to comp for yourself in 2-feel when soloing). Thanks! Best!
Thank you so much for this hands on enlightened "chill groove" approach, Amy.I played Summertime with a 2 feel on a mellow Chickering grand today in concert and my audience got your drift ... much gratitude!
You might be one of the best teachers in the world. Your level of understanding of music and your ability to translate the focus of feeling is remarkable. Can I hire you as a teacher?
Thank you, I am a drummer and occasionally play with bassists and pianist who don't get this much needed approach, especially if you are playing a lot of Great American Songbook material that needs this change in feel from two to four to get the right intensity in the right place with no increased effort or increased volume... Great explanation... great feel...
Your video has inspired me to make my own new version of this great song! I' started today with the first four bars and I will continue tomorrow. I have never had a jazz teacher. Now you are my first one. Thank you so much and also for your enthusiasm in music and teaching it.
Aimee, words are not enough for you to communicate and you totally mastered using music to communicate further. I can feel the urge you have to play when you're talking. That's absolutely wonderful. Lovely to watch, listen to and feel. Thank you so much! :)
Summertime by Gershwin is the #1 song ever written, and I have collected all the recorded versions I could ever find during my 6 decades as a music junkie. The best version in my collection is done solo by Duke Ellington on his "Piano In The Foreground" album. He takes Gershwin's uber-genius to another level. And NOW, after seeing your jam at the end, I've elevated you to #2 with a bullet!
M.A.S.H. ! You're a TRIP! I've learned so much more music theory from watching a handful of your videos than I have in years of learning and playing bass, ukulele, drums, and piano.
James Randorff now that you say it, there is a link in the description! LOL but that's not why I did it. I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's there for free, like all the videos! Thanks so much for watching. :-)
I learned some new things about chording and piano bass, was inspired by your passion and joy, and was uplifted by your sweet and soulful performance. You give so much...I could not ask for more. Stellar!
I listen to this video every night before i go to sleep just so i can get the feel into my unconscious and "chill out." I'm trying to live my life in "2" now. No more Fanta.
Amy, you changed my musical life with this and the Footprints video. Thank you. I have bad rheumatoid in my hands and your arrangements are so inspiring, that i'm pushing myself. Just know you impact people. Thanks. May i be so bold to ask your consideration of "I remember Sky" as a future arrangement and part 2 solo. Ok got to go. You're playing me out and i have to listen.
Aimee, it got magical the moment I recognized you'd hit your groove in the last couple minutes of the video. Simple things can really walk in and light up a room. Well done.
You’re an awesome musician and teacher. Very relaxed! I’m trying to learn from your videos with you being a jazz musician. Vocally I love singing jazz and blues but as a piano player I was taught by an elderly southern baptist church musician so I was taught reading out of hymn books then as I grew I picked up a contemporary style and I play mainly chords and it has a very pop sound.
Thank you Aimee, for this and so many of your inspiring and insightful videos! To watch and learn, then come back to watch and learn again, i added a link to your videos in a list i named 'Better music through knowhow' ... but because i also enjoy hearing you play, i also added a link to my list 'favourite music'. So thank you, i wish you well and hope you'll add more of these wonderfull and inspiring videos.
I love performing tunes in 2 and bringing the 4 feel in on the B section, it builds a nice energy and even though it's something I use a lot it never sounds boring.
So your Summer Time , is what I'm teaching myself for the next 30 days. I came home from doing a 8 hour overnight shift the office, screen captured this whole video to my phone and sit in front of my up-right for a hour. In hyper-laps mode captured the whole thing on my phone and posted it on social media platforms. Last year on Xmas eve I had an emotional breakdown at my job, I deal with depression living alone after being homeless and losing a 30 year marriage the depression became alot so I'm using the piano and this Summer Time to help give me distraction and cope. I got as far as the first real change on the left hand. It looks like its about to get hard to follow your fingering but I need this just emotionally, so thank you. I wanted to learn SUMMERTIME due to Prince's live sound check version...it's on TH-cam if you haven't seen it check it out. I'm really excited about doing this for the next 30 days, not sure this was the best thing for a beginner but I'm gonna keep going...so thank you ,wish me luck.
thank you very much for this video... the idea of 2feel itself feels so right... and the improvisation in the ending minutes is just so smashingly beautiful that i think i won't dare approach my dillettantish instrument for some time now... maybe i need to subscribe and watch more to get myself back on track there...
I found out about your channel just recently, and I've been blown away. Talented, smart, beautiful voice and an excellent choice of subjects for your video. I'm just an amateur guitar player, but I find your video enlightening on so many levels. Kudos!
This was fabulous! Thanks so much. I'm working on Summertime and that's how I found your video. I've definitely got to watch more of you. Coincidentally, I'd just had the question in my mind about the difference between 2 feel and 4 feel. Your video is perfect.
I'm learning so much from your videos and I can already feel myself getting closer to my goals in jazz though I'm a beginner. Keep up the awesome work Aimee!
I enjoy what you call "tangents" like "theme from mash". This happens to me a lot. I hear mashups of old songs when learning "new" ones all the time. I enjoy the perspective shifts. Great inspiration for solos too.
I've been watching a lot of your videos even though I only have a simple keyboard myself and have pretty much no musical knowledge whatsoever. You are so talented.
I love your lessons, all of them have great concepts and greater explanations. I almost totally play with a 2 fell but I called this in other name, before this lesson. I recommend this with some bossa nova, this kind of bass approach is phenomenal. Thanks and greetings from Brazil!
Your "beat box" brushes sound really great! Who needs a drummer?
Tim Heizer right? Ha!
Waaay funny....I was thinking the exact same thing!!! Then I tried to imitate myself...not so well. :D
don't be surprised this angel got tha funk , it lives in her :p
no one, but i need a gig lol
I have been thinking the same thing. Great brushes beat box

Aimee Nolte, you along with Adam Neely, Rick Beato and 'Walk That Bass' are the music school I never had. Thank you so much!
+fi do 🙏🏼🙌🏼
What an amazing version of Summertime. You've inspired me to get back into playing piano after 10 years.
She’s so good, her little mannerisms are perfect too
You're brush noises are the best
Yeah!
sahsplishsplash well, thank you. :-)

Makes me so happy
I love your improvisation. It is so satisfying to hear you landing on the out of scale notes! Absolutely amazing :)
You are the people who make my day always happy. I just hear you to start play this and automatic smile come to my face i dont know why but i feel this really feel this style ... please never stop doing this videos. I love it.. all what u do and how u love music play from heart i am the same .. i feel it so much.. thanks!!!! greetings from Hungary
Best thing that happened to me this year, 2019, so far is bumping into you and this channel. You are God sent
I'm really glad I found your channel a few weeks ago. I've learned more and made more progress on playing the piano since then than in the previous fifteen years.
Great! Thanks Aimee!!
wooo
Thanks Aimee I'm on the piano right now Brill
I think it was yesterday, Rick... you were speaking about the incredible opportunity today to immerse so fully with genius. What an example. Thank you, Aimee. Love ❤️

I've searched for something like this since I was a kid learning the piano. Summertime is my all time favorite standard. You are amazing thank you so much
I just started working with a singer I met in a club. One of the songs she does is Summertime. This Video helped immensely.
David Friedman that's awesome! I'm so glad.
This is very helpful! Not sure how I missed this simple and more effective approach all these years. Your teaching style represents some of the best I've seen. Thanks!
DStrongCrowe432 Strong I appreciate that! Thanks so much. It's a simple, fun and swinging way to play, I think!
Swinging indeed!! :)
You are the teacher I wish I had had when starting out. 65 now and I will start over with your help.
i'm speechless, best teacher i have ever seen in my life, you definitely know the true essence of music.
I watch all of your vids, and really enjoyed this one. I sat for over an hour just playing the G-minor "2 feel", and then when I rewatched, I was even more blown away at your subtlety and finesse. You're an excellent player and teacher. Please keep them coming.
Carter Thaxton oh, that's wonderful! I'm sure that hour is really going to help you. So diligent! Thank you.
I watched the final part at least 5 Times I enjoined it SO MUCH. Amiee you are incredible, your solo moves my emotions and makes me cry

Wow! That jam at the end was gold! And also, love the "vanilla coke"-metaphor, you're both an awesome musician and a teacher!
MynZnusz I'm a big fan of the Vanilla Coke. Lol thanks so much
Danke!
Thank you!
Wow - I have always played Summertime in just in a sort of 4 time, although I improvise , your version sounds so much cooler than mine so I can swing into that - brilliant thanks -
You're a true musician and an inspiration for me! Thank you for all your body of work.
Holy s**t those Last minutes were INTENSE! Aimee You are so Good It's unbelievable!
Such a nice way she conveys her passion for her art / craft. Sensual and soulful!
Wonderful impro at the end Aimée... brought tears to my eyes... Bravo !
Pierre-Gilles Vidoli oh thanks so much!
Aimee Nolte too bad I don't live near you... I'd love to study with you. Your singing is effortless in the same way Eva Cassidy was !
6:05 - 6:17. one of the most beautiful parts of music which has ever entered in my ears
That lick right there at 6:05 is one of my all-time favorites
I think that's the most beautiful way to play summertime. Many thanks Aimee
I learned more from this 20 min video than from 5 yrs of classical lessons LOL. Thank you, you are a great teacher!
Ill never understand how to play jazz but I'm glad people like yourself are gifted and give us the joy of instruction and entertain at the same time.
great lesson! Thanks!
I would love to see/hear lesson on what you do in the left hand from 05:24 to 06:03 (i.e. how to comp for yourself in 2-feel when soloing).
Thanks!
Best!
Reduced me to a mixture of laughter and tears. Laughter because so effortless and so beautiful. Tears because . . .
As always, Aimee, you warm my heart and bring tears to my eyes!
Very nice. Hypnotic to hear you play, teach, and sing.
I enjoyed that so much! You're such a wonderful musician, Aimee. I can always feel how much you love and respect music whenever you teach and perform.
1:25 Great vocal brushes. At 17:43 I imagine a Miles Davis w/mute entrance. Beautiful vocal phrasing.
Wow, you are so inspiring! I wish I could just sit and play around like you do and make it sound that beautiful. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this hands on enlightened "chill groove" approach, Amy.I played Summertime with a 2 feel on a mellow Chickering grand today in concert and my audience got your drift ... much gratitude!

Your brush sounds are amazing, love the chill sounds!
What an ending!
If you're going to play us out like that, you need to put a tip jar under the video. 😉
James Randorff now that you say it, there is a link in the description! LOL but that's not why I did it. I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's there for free, like all the videos! Thanks so much for watching. :-)
One of the best videos I've seen in TH-cam.
you know, a lot of talented musicians can't teach what they play, but Aimee can....super cool video....
Thanks Aimee, I watched this right before bedtime and I'm so chilled out..............................
I learned some new things about chording and piano bass, was inspired by
your passion and joy, and was uplifted by your sweet and soulful performance.
You give so much...I could not ask for more. Stellar!
erikkohl that's so kind of you. Thank you.
thank you for the great lessons! Gives me plenty to work on for guitar, violin, as well as piano
wabashamj you are very welcome. That's a lot of instruments! I like it.

That 2 feel is such a vibe thank you for this Aimee
Wow! You play with such feeling, brought tears to my eyes. That's how this song SHOULD be played, especially liked the scat singing at the end.
Aimee you are incredible. Goals.
Bravo Aimee from the Netherlands, go on! I enjoy your music and lessons.
You are such a beautiful being! Please keep up doin this ... its PURE joy.

Xelent work..!! You have natural flow n feeling..!!!
I´m getting into jazz piano and your videos are of great help. I´m really thankful.
Armando Martínez awesome. Keep going. It's a fun path.
Your approach is simply wonderful. You rock.
I'm no musician but I love what your talking about and doing . . . and I LOVE "Summertime" . . . I should learn to sing it.
I got an amazing lesson, then had my mind blown by you playing us out. You’re a one-woman trio
Awesome teacher,I love her, always feel the beat very important in this kind of music, thanks you Aileen. Sorry for my English.
Hai la capacità di inventare qualcosa sul momento, con esiti di bravura virtuosistica
semplicemente un'improvvisazione....... geniale!!
I've been watching a lot of your videos even though I only have a simple keyboard myself and have pretty much no musical knowledge whatsoever. You are so talented.
Gilles thank you so much for saying so. You can do quite a bit on a simple keyboard. Keep it up!
Great new lesson Thank you Aimee ! ❤🎶🎹
Congrats Aimee!!!
thx Aimee, love to see & hear you , teachin us!
Great Amee! brushes noices and piano, I love it! thank you!!
I love your lessons, all of them have great concepts and greater explanations. I almost totally play with a 2 fell but I called this in other name, before this lesson. I recommend this with some bossa nova, this kind of bass approach is phenomenal. Thanks and greetings from Brazil!
Ian Brandão I totally agree about the bossa nova. Great comment!
Great job Aimee as usual!!
Thanks for the treat at the end. So inspirational, Aimee!
That was great, being...... 'groovy'
What a treat.
Fantastic!! Great explanations, great brushes!!
Excelente aporte para los que nos motivan tus lecciones
Love ur work! Time you held a workshop in Australia!
