Thanks for great content Noah. I'm a middle aged " re-bopper"and a lifelong student of music of all kinds, and a college music educator. Your approach is a perfect blend of intrinsic musicianship and academics. Thanks for teaching an " old dog new tricks,"
Thanks Noah. The really unleashed a whole new freedom and sound in playing. There were things I was inadvertently doing but this gave me a way to totally utilize these enclosures. It opened up some of the mystery on how Herbie and others were getting these cool sounding lines.
I like how this gets my focus to anchor the chord tone AND the beat. I've been sloppy with my rhythm without assessing it. I am very picky with the notes though. Thanks to your lesson I can trust my flailing fingers while shifting focus to hit that 3 beat with the chord tone. Compartmentalizing the most hazardous and troublesome areas of my meandering to maintain control in the urgency of bubbling inspiration.
this is exactly the subject matter that aspiring soloists need. but you barely provided any examples. would really appreciate a follow up video with analysis demonstrating more examples of these then just ti, re, ra, ti, do
Great lesson on how you should be landing on a strong chord tone (i.e. 1, 3,5, or) on the strong beats 1 and 3. In between you can use approach tones and enclosures to add chromaticism to your lines. One thing that might be confusing here if I'm not mistaken is that some of actual played examples started with the 6th or 9th on beat 1. Of course any rule can be broken if sounds good.
Hey Noah, I'm self taught and trying to get better at piano. Do you have any recommendations for beginner piano books, especially ones with jazz or neo soul voicings/progressions/practices for swing, groove etc?
Hello from Kansas City Missouri. Great video as always Noah. I've read the other comments and I think an important point needs to be made. Their isn't just one way to teach or learn Jazz Improvisation. Their are a number of different ways. Learning the individual parts of the Bebop and Jazz Language then bringing those parts together is one way, and learning the importance of Approach Notes and Enclosures and their Rhythmic Placement is part of that. It's an important piece of the Bebop language. For any one thats interested, in my humble opinion the most thorough analysis of Charlie Parker's Bebop language can be found in a book called Bebop Guitar by Joseph Weidlick. Even though the book says Guitar, the techniques can be applied to Keyboards, Bass, and Horns. Thanks.
So you target on the one ( or any beat of the bar really) a note you don't want [because it doesn't belong to the set (13579)] and on the and (an eighth apart) a note you don't want and on the two a note which is fine or not• if not then you repeat the process. Fine in the harmonic sense.i gather. Would that work? Eventually this has to end on the bee or the bop Excuse the symbolism, peace ✌️😎
I slowed the beginning down to 0.5x speed to better see what you were playing and I almost died laughing when you started talking, you sound so drunk at half speed lmao

Maintain your flailing finger meandering

Thanks for the critique, Louis! Will definitely keep that in mind for the future for a follow up that’s more advanced with more examples.
Check out Jazzskills for good pretty basic examples

Cool video! Could you share what software you use for the overlaid keyboard/staff?
Você pode gravar um vídeo mostrando mais padrões de abordagem usando outros acordes?
Thank you!
Hey another kellman!
Hi Noah l have to learn
The different type of scale
Dorian,mixolodian, etc...
Would you ever do tutorials for certain jazz songs?
Amazing man, this was really good.
Do you have similar or exact licks on a book that explain this same concept with notation?
Target notes 1 3 5 7 must be played always in strong beat? 1 and 3
I'm wondering if you are repeating a 7 note motif. Are you? If so, can you do a video about repeating the same motif to make runs
I love this! What's the song at the end at the 7:07 mark?
Hey I've been told that the strong beats are 2 and 4. I'm confused 😭 can you help me?
Can you do one for rnb?
Finger crossover techniques are tough
So you target on the one ( or any beat of the bar really) a note you don't want [because it doesn't belong to the set (13579)] and on the and (an eighth apart) a note you don't want and on the two a note which is fine or not• if not then you repeat the process.

Excuse the symbolism, peace ✌️😎
Did Bud Powell know about this theory?or they just played it?
whats the song at the end of the video?
Sounds like Bill Evans younger years
How i get in touch with you ?

6:56 Hey this is everyones daily reminder to stop saying "in real time" it is an ugly phrase that is taking over our language.
Finally a video that opened my eyes and made bebop lines just click for me thanks so muchhh 🫶
