Learning this kind of stuff makes me feel like a beginner again, and I love it. I was classically trained for 13 years before life got in the way, and as grateful as I am for that, it was rigid. We'd spend months perfecting a Chopin for a judged performance, but playing like this just feels freeing. I hope I can master this style one day!
Yah, me too. Classical flute here. Moving into jazz now. I’m a true beginner. Very humbling! Let’s do this!!
Well taught...years of searching, listening, analyzing, discussing, practicing & performance (pre-TH-cam) condensed into a 6 minute teaching. Priceless.
Excellent as always Peter, would love to see another 6 min video on how you practice them individually and finally how you inter-mix the 3
That might be the most concise music lesson I've ever had. Excellent. Lean, no BS.
1:55 Wait, wait, wait, hold on..back it up, just a little bit, Peter.
You forgot to mention one of the best parts about learning diminished scales. ...
And that is ...
The shortcut, or the simplification of it all.
Just as there are only three (3) primary diminished chords [and diminished 7th chords], since all of the notes are spaced out evenly, similarly, there are only three primary diminished scales to learn as well.
If you can figure out & learn the first 3 dimished scales (C, C#, D... literally, just those 3), then you've already learned all 12.
Just remember what fingering you had used, when you get to the other nine scales, and you're all done.
Also, you may want to try different fingering patterns to discover what order/sequence works best for you.

Thanks broh, i appreciate that🎉🔥🔥🔥
The path to many long solo lines of rich tensions is way shorter than I anticipated. I can't believe this material was right under my nose all these years. It seems a lot of this could have been derived from the Persichetti or the Messiaen harmonic technique books, but for some reason I just never did (or wasn't led to) the short walk from there to here. 😢 Much missed joyful playing and reinventing the wheel with just a handful of licks with juat one of these scales seems like it could have flourished into a nice gig much earlier. Listening to this is like a chiropractic adjustment in the musical part of my brain, 25 years overdue. Well I'm still alive and there's always today at least. Time to get to the piano. Thank you so much for putting this down.
OMG In all my years
I never had a better more
well thought out lesson In my life. Thanks so much
That was awesome Peter, thanks for posting, enjoyed that.
Terrific stuff ... Thank you
You are a great teacher
You have your heart into helping musicians. Keep up the wonderful work.
This was eye opening. Thank you!
Awesome lesson! Love the pace!
Good stuff as always. Interesting "Jazz club" lighting cool for talking Blues and Pentatonic scales.
Six minutes packed with goodness. Excellent!
Am happy to have learnt something new..These channel is Very Educative.. Thank you Teacher.
I hit the like button even before the video actually starts. These guys are amazing. Thanks for the content! Thanks
Thanks for the scale.
Great lesson.
Thank you so much! This was a missing piece that I needed.
Great stuff!
Loved it. Lots of jazz in 6 minutes!
Great video!
Thank you very much.
The short format is great!
Brilliant
Thank you
Greetings from Madrid
Peace and 🎹
Love you guys, thanks for this. Would love to know what voicings you played over that C minor pentatonic riff.... sounded mostly quartal?
Great and important video. Is it possible for you to explain what you are doing with the left hand?
Lovely 💘
Another great one! Hey are those new glasses? They look really good.
Peter is a genius🤯🤯🔥🔥
Brilliant. That's what you call a No-Bull Lesson! It's a Noble Lesson too!! And a No Ball Lesson.....OK, I'll stop now! 🤣
😂 😂 😂
Great video! One thing that always puzzles me: why is so little attention paid by teachers to either the major mode of the pentatonic (1 2 3 5 6) and/or especially the major blues scale (it's called other things, too: 1 2 b3 3 5 6). That last one seems so important, but so few people even mention it. @Open Studio? Anyone?
Haha!! A “post credit” scene! Bravo!! 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾
Peace and Bass to you, my brother.
Damn: that was dope.
Someone’s been using my setup 😂. 👍👏
I checked out the fingering of the scales using 0.25x speed. Had a great chuckle regarding the audio. ;-)
Can you show us how to use the Barry Harris Dom -5 chord scale with some kind of application ? I get all the others it’s just that one .
Nice
Will definitely add this to my practice routine! Quick question: What is generally the reasoning behind using the #3 finger to cross under as opposed to the #2 finger in situations where you could theoretically use either one? I find both to be fairly comfortable, but just genuinely wondering. I started out as a flute player, so the patterning of piano fingerings has been one of the biggest learning curves as far as having a less cut-and-dry "push this key (combo) with this (these) finger(s) to get this note every time" kind of security, haha! I know some general principles such as "keep the long fingers to the black keys and the thumb and pinky to white keys when possible" etc.
So glad I found this channel. I don't have the chops yet, but these are great videos for starting out.
How many half diminished scales are there? I know it's a stupid question, I'll find out.
Are the Pentatonic scales also to be practiced in every key? Or are their certain keys used more than others?
Same question with the blues scale.
There are two types of diminished scale -- Half/Whole & Whole/Half. That being said there are really only 3 "different" dim. scales -- one starting on C, then C#, then D. After that you're just repeating.
As for what keys to practice in -- I'd say start on C (ofc), but after that it's somewhat context based. As a guitarist that doubles on piano, I have to play a ton of stuff in the keys of E, A, D, G (rock & blues mostly), whereas if I'm just playing piano I find certain flat keys (F, Bb, Eb, Ab) to be much more common for blues & jazz.
And of course -- If you wanted to go the "music conservatory route" -- learn all 12 keys and call it a day! :D Good luck on your journey.
This is crack. You're a god. Thank you.
what digipiano are you using here? sound good!
Nice, thank you!! Where can I get that tee shirt???
thanks for the lesson ! as a guitar player i'm really interested in what you're doing with the left hand, especially in C-7 context, tryin' to figure out how to make these kind of tensions while playing on only 1 chord. Pleeeeeease
Transcribe by slowing down the video
At super quick glance c-f-Bb to Eb-G-c to f-Bb-Eb etc which should be quarter voicings
@@sonnyobrien ok thanks ! I had planned to transcribe this, thank you for the help !
@@sonnyobrien i have something like C-Eb-G / Db-G-C / EbA-D / F-Bb-Db for the 4 first chords voicing
I know the video was about the scales… but I’m gonna go back now and try to figure out that quartal-ish left hand comping :)
which are built on scale tones
I want that shirt
I’m not a piano player, and the scales are awesome…but all that LEFT HAND STUFF!😳
That was quick.; too quick to realize that the symdim scale (W-H-W-H etc) over C dominant is Db, E G, or Bb That gets you the C 13th b9 +9 +11
Great video! Where’s the link in how to practice the scales? And what’s your shirt say?
th-cam.com/video/T-gX7JStQ6c/w-d-xo.html "listen to your city"
some fine shit
What piano is that?
Someone's been using my set up... arrgh!!! ... 🤣🤣🤣
In the diminished scale, why do you consider that the root is C but you resolve on a F chord?
damn where can i get that hat?
man i need t connect with you been watching you. long time
It's weird, but the way I think of the diminished scale is a dorian flat 2, sharp 4, add sharp 3.
Oh wow, trying it out later, and an easier way is just getting the diminished chords of the root and the semitone above it
@@TheUnderscore_ exactly
What kind of keyboard is that?
Someone has been using my setup 🤣🤣
I would say minor melodic, blues and major scale
Why does he keep calling Bb a dom7th? Isn't that a m7? I know it's in a C7 chord but there's no dominant 7th note right?
Peace AND ciao?? What are you nuts!!?
Your pentatonic scale sounds different than mine. I guess mine is broken 😆
4:20 dude thought he could photobomb but hes blurred out
Funny ending
Ok.. i realise im more interested in the left hand stuff going on 😂
Haha funny end
Peter , you are faster than flash
Man Im so glad they didnt kick him off the show
Great fuckin video.
✌️& 🎹
Joe Pass would have said major, minor and dominant
