- Using the tune "I Love You, For Sentimental Reasons", I show you in this video how to play in the spaces; the places where there is a break in the melody and room for a little ad lib to move the song along and give it some motion and variety. Watch and see!

Thank you you Aimee, you are very nice
Hi Aimee, I have watched this video continually. Although I couldn't observe every exact step you made, I thoroughly enjoyed this video and I was easily able to pick up what I thought I missed. I thought you made a very painstaking effort to demonstrate stride. With as many videos as I've seen on the subject, I think by far this is the most comprehensive. I think it's the most effective because you use a practical example. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!! :)
I've been waiting for a video about this topic. The stride piano part is great! This is so well explained!! Great Aimee :)
Rick Beato (
Rick... I learn a lot from you vids too!
I Love You, For Sentimental Reasons, Aimee!
I would seriously learn and play this song for the rest of my life..
Aimee nolte I'm stealing this but only for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I've just subscribed to you
To play fills like this one day would make me soooo happy.
FINALLY, a woman of normal proportions who admits playing some tenths are seemingly impossible! I'm around guys all the time who can play tenths + like it's a piece of cake. I feel like I have tiny hands around them. I'm encouraged by Keith Jarrett (lol), but it's still nice to hear from another woman that struggles with tenth stretches. Thanks for the tips!
I think Alicia de Larrocha had octave-sized hands, she managed. Albeniz.
Love 💕 you n your playing Aimee!! You are an angel sent to Earth 🌍 to brighten all our lives!! My you live a healthy. Long n prosperous life!! Best Vibes always!! From Brisbane Queensland Australia!!❤😊❤😊😊
Very very good , amazing voicings and explanations, ...thank you so much ..Fred/France
I like the patience and clear explanation. In other video's I often feel like the author tries to show of his/her own skills. These video's are much, much more helpful. Keep up the good work!
Arjen Hamerling what great feedback! Thank you.
Aimee, you are the best. I haven't watched this video yet; I just wanted take a second to tell you that, generally.
Thank you!💙🙌🏼
After listening to this wonderful and beautiful lesson, it occurred to me that one could say that the art of improvising on the piano is the art of allowing the fills to make love to the melody and lead them into a beautiful marriage!
Thank you for the lesson, Amee!
Lovely singing
Stride piano saved my life. I wanna t shirt with that. Thanks aimee for this!
your playing is just beautiful
Finally, it's nice learning fills but actually seeing and hearing how a fill fits in when there are extra beats a melody. You're the only one I found that explains that part. I had an idea that that what it does, but it's nice to hear.
Aimee, you say, "What did I just play, I can't remember", Are you telling me that your fingers are just going on AUTO. GOOD LORD, i am not living right. You are truly a Jazz Pianist. How sweet it is to see a MASTER make it look so easy.
FRYEGS6 lol I wouldn't say that my fingers are going on auto pilot. But I am creating in the moment, and sometimes it's hard to remember something that just came out! You will get there. There are so many people better than me and I'm trying to get better every day. 😍
Yes fryegs6 I'm afraid it's all on auto. I can do something like that. I just think about the melody and the bass. The harmonics are on auto.... But I would like to improve. Aimees internal computer is way nicer than mine... Her instruction is great! The rest should come from your internal computer...God gave that gift to some people... Good luck!
When you started singing it's remember Eva Cassidy that I like her wonderfull voice .Adel from Tunisia..thx alot
Keep it simple in the left hand, yeah. I agree that it sounds simple, but how to automate this takes a lot of exercise too. Thanks for your great and clear explanations.
Thank u so much for this video!
Wow! Aimee you got me off the sheet music!! Thank you SSOOO MUCH!!! I do better by ear anyway, and now I CAN JUSTIFY my crazy harmonies.
You are suuuuch a marvelous piano player and I'm so glad you're doing online lessons now.
You're a great teacher Aimee, I love how you force the listener to use their ear at times!!
You're tutorials are just awesome and fun to watch unlike a lot of other videos on TH-cam. I always catch myself singing along to that tune even tough I'm not a singer.
Gimberg Preval that makes me happy! Thanks for watching, Gimberg
Another gem of a lesson, thanks Aimee, I love this laid-back stride style… although you make it look so much easier than it is! My late Dad used to play in this style (like 50+ years back, yes, I am a fossil), although he would not have thought of himself as a jazz pianist. It was just the default piano style of his era.
Why has Amy only got 245k followers? These videos are so good.
Aimee, you're a genius. Flabergased. Really. Can't wait to get to my keyboard. Thank you so much.
Flabbergasted!
Due to an accident where I broke my shoulder I have damaged the liner nerve on my left side and I can no longer reach 10ths. (I used to be able to walk in 10ths). I now will roll 1-5-10. I pray that this Brachial plexus program can fix me. Those fills are REALLY helping me. I love the way you explain things. This video is great. Some of those fills are even Floyd Kramerish like old country.
Great song and great explanation... Greetings from Buenos Aires!
It's awesome that you are so good at music and make these tutorials to teach us.
Lovely as always. Waiting to hear and see more from you.
Such a useful lesson. Thank you!
Thank you
This lesson was so so helpful! But damn the singing😍😍😍
This is pure gold for us sax players too :)
Naomi Feldman-Blumer oh awesome! Of course!
Just
Thanks Aimee, just beautiful!
Super fantastic lesson and great fun. Thanks so much, Aimee!
Thanks Aimee for sharing your talent.Love your tutorials
jnogen you're so welcome! Thx for the nice note!
Lol. I j JUST (as in seconds ago) watched another video of yours and i was thinking about "In a Sentimental Mood'. Guess it's a 'sentimental Aimee" day. Or the algorithm gets sentimental about your fills.
Aimee Nolte I just want to say I love your channel. I keep stumbling upon your videos when looking at jazz piano tutorials and yours are the best. Every time you do something and I think "Oh! I wish she would stop and explain what she just did" you do exactly that, and then you expand on it by giving examples of what else you could've done. Keep it up you champ.
Great home Aimee! Thank U once again!
Hey Aimee, love the song. Just a beautiful bluesy feel to it. Perfectt!!!!
Wonderful. The simplest things are always so exquisite!
Aimee, thanks for the ideas. I'm hoping to learn to play that style, and really like to listen to it. I appreciate your close ups of what you're playing.
Asher Mandrake thanks so much. It's a fun style. Very useful.
So nice, landing on the thirds and sevenths. Nice!
you're so amazing
makes me jump on keyboard every time when I m watching your video. learn a lots. Thank you!
+mario chigo i’m so glad, Mario!
Oh wow, this is so beautiful, such a nice voice and such good taste with the fills. The last part of the video is a 3 min long eargasm :-)
Aimee thank you so much for such important and precious pieces of knowledge that you share with people! I'm grateful to you!!
Thanks for posting the chords. It makes it easier to follow.
Fantastic playing. Fantastic lesson!
This is incredibly helpful!
That's just great.
Aimee thx 4 breaking down the left ✋
As always, big thanks, Aimee - that was very filling :-)
Awesome
AIMEEEEEEEE PLEASE TELL US THAT YOU ARE MAKING THE B SECTION ALSO!!! the hole song with the fills PLEASEEEE!!!! i love you for musical reasons!!! :)
AnDrEa GoMeZ P. Part II? Are you kidding me? Lol ok ok 🙄
Your playing is so tasteful, Love this channel!
You sing too ? Wow 😳 beautiful 😍
What a nice explanation of things. I hope you'll do more even videos on other solid approaches to piano accompanying (I realize you've already done several).
Really beautiful!
you have a nice voice
great video! thank you.
Fantastic lesson but I somehow got lost in numerous chord progressions versions of this song which I love. Amiee, could you pleease post here what you play there?) Thank you!
Thanks, Aimee - that was very filling :-)
nice one ..... well done
Delightful ... but WAY over my head. 😐😏🙃😎👍
I like it. Is it possible for you to show us all chords on your right hand and then do the fills? It would help to understand it beter. Thanks
I wonder if some of this segues over into ensemble_playing. No doubt it does. Just on the strength of your left hand, this video is interesting. Learning stride piano at this tempo is very engaging. The example tune that you picked was spot_on! :) Thank you, Aimee
I love
I understand, thank you for your answer. When you play the movement of pump the left hand, he is not exactly the one that you reproduce then, there is a third note intermediary who gives the swing it is the reason why I wished a pdf of demonstration of the piece such as he is played.
Thank you for sharing all those fills. This was so lovely and such a perfect way for me to end my day. I love your endless creativity and free-spirited approach to music!
This got me thinking... do you do any vids where you take one song and present several different styles to play it? Stride, jazz ballad, Latin, New Orleans 12/8 feel (like a Fats Domino vibe), etc. Whatever you work out...
Hi Aimee, Thank you for this video. May I ask you a question? You gave us many fills to think about and work with here. My question is, what are you *doing* as you're playing--what are you thinking, considering, anticipating? It sounds like you have many (if not all?) of the fills already internalized, presumably in every key. Do you have the fills categorized in your head according to where they fit in a progression, so the first ones fit with I-IV, then the later ones with I-vi-ii-V-I, etc? How much are you ad-libbing on the fly vs fitting in fills you've memorized? As you played this, were you trying to remember as much variety of fills as you could? Or is it you have some basic fills but then as you're playing you vary those on the fly? (Also, how many of these did you come up with on your own vs picking up from records or other players?) A video about your thought process as you go through a song would be really amazing. Thank you!
Hmmm I think it’s kind of like talking. You learn sayings along the way and insert them into your everyday speech where you know they will make sense. You might add or subtract a few words to the saying here or there but basically they are just part of your vocabulary that you use as you go along with
LOL Yeah and then just like the first time you go to France, you are SURE you're using the words correctly and yet whenever you try to say something people just look at you blankly and tell you to stop trying. 🙂 Thank you, Aimee!
splendid
The best out there for a tutorial on fills! Though confused on the chord progression, isn't supposed to be a 1625?
thanks so much for your inspiring videos Aimee. Can you give some tips on sus chord voicings/voice leading!.. ? thanks again.
Ok great, now let's study this video for the next ten years.
berry nice
Hi miss Aimee, wow you are really an awesome jazz piano player. I love your online lessons. I learned a lot from them.
Do you also know how to use drop tunes in guitar and the proper way in incorporating slash chords/alternate bass chords/inversions either in guitar or piano?
Thank you for your response
I love your videos
Mod Mnri thank you so much!
This lesson deserves a pdf, the music and voicings are so cool, is it something you plan to do Aimee?
Not a bad idea. Thanks!
Yes keep me informed if you write this lesson down. Thanks to you Aimee!
2:48 what are fills?
4:21 each fill in detail
5:23 fill #3
All these great fills you're playing.. are you going through a mental catalog of "lego block" -style lines, or are you just improvising in the relevant key knowing the changes? It's fabulous, but I don't get how to go about learning to do it!
stavrojr I am just using my ears for these. I think listening to a lot of piano players who accompany singers and especially piano players who seen them selves, like Nat King Cole and Diana Krall are very helpful to listen to to be able to learn fills like these. If you listen to a lot of them, they will start to come out in your playing.
Yeah, in a way that's like me asking "how can I get better at French?" and getting the predictable (and totally true!) "you need to read / listen / talk more French". If only there was a roadmap for what specific path to take through this, I'd be a happy camper
stavrojr I give as many short cuts and easy answers as I can in these videos...there isn't one for being "tasty." Listen listen copy copy. It will come. 😍
You should do a video on how to quickly spot various chords especially in keys with lots of sharps or flats. I always get caught up in getting the notes under my fingers fast enough. When you play, are you always aware of what chord you are playing, or are you mostly playing by muscle memory? I need ways to have the chords just "light up" and jump out quickly for me to spot.
It's called "slow practice". An activity most people do not like, but gets the most results!
tasty stuff.
Thank you very much. Do you by any chance have these written out in notes? I would like to learn this all and it would be great to read it on paper. Thank you again!
Yeah, I can play a little piano, but mostly as a guitarist I'm envious of pianists, fills seem more logical and full, more notes available and everything is more Linear than guitar. I have a friend who got a masters in piano, he impresses me , can pull out an Oscar Peterson song book and read through it like I can a newspaper, and that's some hard stuff. I have to sit and study stuff like that , I like you tube, I can actually read quite well w the tune playing, I understand what's happening, but I'm not a great reader with cold play. Anyway, today, I suck up harmonic analysis stuff , just like to know how and what modes to apply, pentatonic Etc, as good guidelines, I usually nee to be told stuff like that, because s been like since 83 since I studied them, it comes back, but all that theory, no thanks, music theory s hard at this age, just wanna play, and I pretty much know how, got a B in classical guitar on a college level., Mosley self taught though, few lessons off a friend, then ear to the vinyl, r chord sheets
It's awesome.
The chord progression doesn't match the real book or ireal pro after transposition. Where did u get this version?
Yeah I think you’re right. I learned this song slightly wrong. Old video. So sorry.
You might be just the teacher ive been looking for all along, i wanna learn to play this style of music so badly, i can do fine in an intermediate level but my technique is not great, any recommendations for practicing stride and use of chords?
Thanks a lot!
Check out Jonny Mae on TH-cam. He writes charts for all his stride pieces and they’re amazing! Thanks for the support!
Aimee Nolte Music Thanks a lot for the quick reply! I know how to read chords but im not to that point that i can read sheet music, im mostly a guitar and harmonica player but the piano would be my favorite instrument, ill check it out and see if i can understand! Thank you Aimee!
Can you please make the sheet? I would like to buy it.
Is there a second Like button?
Hi Aimee. But....do you have also fills for the left hand? I find my left hand playing boring. The right hand goes on automatic so I let it go . But the left....how can I improve that?
Good idea.
Is it better for the "leading tone" at the end of the fill to lead to the root of the next chord, or to the melody note?
Very beautiful ! Have you please the sheet music of this jazz fill ? thanks
Gérard Meunier thanks! No sheet music. I made them up right on the spot. It's important that you learn without the written music. Figure them out by watching and listening to me! 🙌🏼
Or write them out yourself; then you really have to listen.
7:53 no no your left hand isn't _supposed_ to be right, right
I love you
Aimee, how did you learn fills? Is there any books you learned from that you would recomend?
Just from listening to a lot of jazz. ;)
Hi Aimee, where may I find the lead sheet you use for this song?
Hey Aimee, love your vids, you have an infectious personality! Had a question about harmony. I'm always perplexed by the minor 6th chord. Clearly, we know that from the natural minor scale, and even harmonic minor, the 6th scale degree is flat from the major 6th scale degree. When we play a minor 7th chord, we know not to play a major 7th unless specified to with that chord, because that note doesn't lie in the natural minor scale. Yet when we play the minor 6th chord, the chart is telling us to play the major 6th with that minor chord. I.e. Play a D natural with an F chord as opposed to a C#. Do you know what's up with that? No hate here, the minor 6 is one of my favorite chords, I love the tension, it's just something that's been bugging me. Is something in my music theory lacking here? It seems like that chord should be renamed Fmin(maj6), should it not? It's a stupid little thing, I know, and, and most people understand what to play when they see a minor 6th chord, I was just wondering if maybe you or somebody else knows something I don't?
Usually minor chord is derived from dorian (or melodic minor). Basically dorian is natural minor with major 6 (or major scale, played from the second note). It makes dorian a little brighter. And since 2-5-1 is the most common progression (and that 2 is dorian) you play dorian chords quite often.
Riley Merino I feel u, Riley! Lol Good points. I think this is just a jazz thing, right? Classical musicians don't use the term "major 6 chord" do they? And we are just smarties with good ears, so we know what to do! Lol You should ask my friend; Rick Beato. Do you watch his videos? They're dynamite. You could copy and paste your question into a comment on one of his videos and his answer will for sure be better than mine. 🙌🏼🤓
Владимир Пушкарев interesting! I honestly just thought all chords were based around the natural minor. Wouldn't it be simpler if it were that way though? What's the point in basing chords around different scales, that seems kind of counter intuitive, seems easier just to label chords as relative to one scale. Clearly I'm still a novice with harmony and appreciate any replies.
Aimee Nolte I don't watch his videos but I definitely will! I'm not sure he'll take too kindly to me calling him Aimee though...
Riley Merino yeah...don't do that. Lol
Can u do this again in key of C :< plsz?
