I just wanted to play,, and I play by ear and read enough to enjoy my music,, but your tutorials helps me understand open voicings such block , spread,,, etc. I’m incorporating things I learn from you in my repertoire ❤
Thanks for keeping it simple and straight forward. It's easy to get lost in all the reharmonization. It's great to see the basic changes with a few added touches And a real delight to hear you play the blues over it.
Hi Tony! This is Pete. Cheryl is my significant other. I have always liked playing the piano, and I would like to tell you that you are an awesome and you are very talented musician. I have been hooked on learning Jazz progressions and some of the licks that you have selected to teach your students with for quite a while now. I am an old timer, but thanks to you, your guidance, and your patient instructions, I am learning something new from you every day. Thank you for all you do! You are the very best! Have a great day. -Pete
Ok, maestro Winston, I have a problem. Caused by you. Your videos here are so captivating that I spend hours watching them instead of actually practicing! 😀👏🏻
Just another great lesson in a LONG and EVER-GROWING list of piano/musical instruction videos. Looks like 50K subscribers is right around the corner! Go, Tony go!
I know!! And for some reason the pace has suddenly accelerated, should hit 50K this week. I hope TH-cam sends me something. I think you get a plaque at 100K. Thanks for the encouragement my friend !!
My Spotify playlist is mostly Bach and Tatum so I’m right there with you .. both pure genius, and I could listen to either one and be instantly uplifted… Dave Frank did a video where he slows down “ Elegie” - there is so much going on it’s hard to hear or analyze at Tatum’s lightening speed .. thanks for the great videos 🎶🎹😊
Re: Art Tatum. We used to have a Piano tuner here in Bournemouth UK who could play Art Tatum style like really really well. Peter (Jock) Cooper. Scottish guy. He did an act in the clubs and bars in the area. "Piano & Comedy" He would do 1 - 2 minutes of Art Tatum and then stop and say: "Did I ever tell you about the time that.......... happened? well, this is a true story of when so and so happened". Was always just a joke but he was very convincing that This time it might be something serious. Then he did a few more Art Tatum numbers mixed with more jokes. he died in about 2006 aged 77, He was a lovely guy. His wife offered to give me his piano tuning & repair tools after he died but I said no. I didn't want the dead man's piano tuning tools. I suggested they should be buried with him. Great video. I think me and many other people are loving these lessons. I also like the key of Eb, I know total beginners like C but Eb is a great key for different scales and is really not difficult as you say in this video. fingering really nice in Eb and chords easy to find.
Thanks Robin. That sounds like a fun and interesting guy. The more I get into Tatum, the more I appreciate his style. All those runs are off-putting to a lot of people but I'm getting to where I listen carefully and marvel at the variety of things he is able to come up with. Also, his playing is devoid of a lot of cliche ideas that have become popular since his death. It's kinda like watching older movies where there are no cell phones, txts, computers, etc. The plot seems to flow better. Agree that Eb is a great key (they all are) and all I meant was - the blues scale that is 5 black keys + A natural doesn't lay well beneath the fingers. And for some people it might be easier, who knows??
Always appreciate a fresh look at an ol' favorite. :) Thanks, Tony! Hey, if you're interested, I'd love to get your take on one of Dave Brubeck's, "Kathy's Waltz". It's a pretty song but I haven't heard it played much. Seems like it could be somethin' kinda special, maybe.
Merci Dear David. You explain so well. Even for a french like me with my poor english it is very interesting. Thanks a lot ! I am a good pianist with paper music but without that.... Ridiculous ^ ^
Hi Tony thank you for sharing. At the beginning of this video there is a little intro you play that is really cool what chords are you using there? looks like you are reading from sheet music, that could be used for the intro to ( A Sunday kind of love.) Thanks
hi Tony, couple more questions i) +7 = Aug. seventh ? so is this a ♯5? In bar 7 you have [C+7 C+7(♯9)] is this CEG♯B & then a RH D♯ (9) ; ii )Am I right to conclude + or Aug. can only occur on the fifth & the no in bracket is played with the RH so you spread your chords across both hands? I find this concept a bit difficult, as feel as if I'm re-learning algebra, but presumably this is a default Jazz skill! um abraço
hi Tony @3.34 you talk about only hitting the B♭(bar 2) in the LH to create the B♭7 sus; I don't get it. To me a sus chord has the 2/4 & I can' see a C/F anywheres ?
One of the most underrated jazz musicians on the platform!

Brilliant again Tony. Fantastic lesson and a great tune. Thanks
The musical content is fabulous, but also great are the insights into a classic song like When I Fall In Love with a blues style approach. Thanks!

you are showing a 137 in the left and bass note leading. very nice K
You can teach the pdf of the chords of the lesson you give. Thank you.
Yoou rock Tony! Thank you! Very grateful! Many blessings.... 🙂
Dear Tony! I have a nerd theory question : does the Bbmi6/Db at 5:20 comes from A7, as a secondary dominant for D+7? Thank you!
Bbm6 can function as an A7 b9,b13 but in this case I think of it as a ii chord in a minor ii-V-i.
Buenisimo

Play an Fm7 with the RH and add a Bb note with the LH. Together it makes Bb7sus4. I should have said 'sustain the Fm7 and add the Bb'.
@@TonyWinston ok got it; the C in th RH qualifies it as a rolled Bb7sus4 & this repeats!
Best
Add it to that group of beautiful songs with crappy middle parts.
It's not a favorite of mine either but there is no middle part. Its ABAC 32 bar song form
Love,ok?
Thanks Clarice. Anna Magdalena has some wonderful pieces. I’m so glad you enjoy playing them. Music for the soul.
I like how you stop periodically to explain the 'why' BUT ... I WISH YOU WOULD PLAY THE SONG THROUGH FIRST, THEN BREAK IT DOWN
