Jazz piano lesson (6-1/2 min.) with tips on Gershwin's But Not For Me including chord analysis, chord substitution, melodic and rhythmic interpretion and some improv.
the difference between good and great piano arrangement is huge, you make those old tunes truly an art, so full of colors, I aprreciate it each and every time
Man, this video.. i've spent weeks on it, there are so many gems inside. Thanks mr hewitt, you're helping me tremendously improving my style. I'm finally starting to get the sound i've always been looking for.
I find myself going back to this video. I absolutely love the progression in this one, though I admit I know very little about the piano. I aspire to learn the piano someday to be able to play too. Thanks for the video!
Please watch my beginner series, I hope it will inspire you to practice and learn more about piano playing. Go to playlists here: th-cam.com/channels/dmjw5sm9Kn83TB_rA_QBCw.htmlplaylists
Wow...that's one of my 1st videos. I'm glad someone is still watching it. I'm thinking about...what if I put a new name on some of my older videos and re-posted. Because not many new people watch the older videos, and this one was a live lesson. Thanks for watching!
@@KentHewittpiano88 ohh plz do!! Your older live videos have so much potential for now a days videos! Would love to see a redo of this one though, kinda want to see you add a little bit of spice in them 😄
+geojazz46 +geojazz46 Hey George!! , Funny we should connect right now. How are you doing?? I had great times playing with you. I was just writing to someone who commented on a video I did on Bill Evan's version of My Foolish Heart. I mentioned to them that we had opened for the Bill Evans Trio in '79 in Hartford, Bushnell park. Do you remember that? Correct me if I have the date wrong. Anyway... great to hear from you, I'm glad to re-connect. Thanks for the comment; I'm having fun doing these videos. th-cam.com/video/BgItQOto_5g/w-d-xo.html
I love the idea of rhythm first, harmonies are so beautifly placed. Best piano performance and lesson on TH-cam. What a shame there isn't transcription of this masterpiece. Anyway I will try to learn right away.
There is a score for this song on my website. Here's a link: file:///C:/Users/Owner/Downloads/But%20Not%20For%20Me%20Drop%202.pdf Also there's a version w/ block chords ...go to Free Music Downloads.

I’m curious to know why this piece is played as an up tempo? The lyrics are so melancholy, it really suggests a slow tempo. The changes presented by Kent are fabulous, and I apply them throughout the piece.

A stellar arrangement and that solo at the end was cooking
