In this video, I demonstrate the 3 levels to practicing 'All The Things You Are' (Jerome Kern). I break down all of the scales and chords for you in a simple way that can be understood by anyone who has a basic working knowledge of major scales. I discuss the key centers, root movement, and voice leading through the changes. In all, I demonstrate three ways to practice the song that get progressively more complex, and at the end I played three choruses of improv solo - the full transcription is available at my website. I hope you enjoy!
Please suggest other songs you would like me to analyze on this channel in the comments - it keeps me motivated.
I mentioned the 'voice leading' video so here's the link to that: • Jazz Lesson: How To Us... - เพลง

I bought the Killer Vibes Book a few days ago. Wonderful. Over 200 pages of brilliant instruction and clear well defined levels of play. You have worked diligently for years perfecting your technique and understandings of music. You nailed the method of starting simply and adding layers of harmonic depth and melodic invention.. I can't thank you enough for the monumental contribution you have made to my life.
Thank you! I’m glad you dig it. It is definitely the culmination of a lot of work.
You are a great teatcher! The best I've ever seen. You realize people's dream of playing jazz! Thankyou!
I wish I had a music teacher like this guy when I was growing up.
Thanks!!
I'm a pianist and this has really helped me - the work on pentatonic scales will pay off!
Congratulations! Great lesson!!
This video is so helpful, even for a pianist!
I love the new style so far!
This is awesome! I didn't know where to start with the vibraphone before these videos!
Excellent instructional video. It's a lot easier thinking of 5 tone centers instead of all the chords.
You are a great player, I wish we was in the same neck of the woods. I I am a jazz pianist I grew up as a child listening to Cal tjader on one hand and Charlie Parker on the other playing all the standards, I love bebop and swing. Bird and those cats left us a music that if played right it comes to life.. I like the sound of those vibes, you put a lot of love in what you play... Oh by the way, you are a great teacher.
Great! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
thanks a lot young Master...you are now my new and super teacher...thank you tim...
I'm writing from Argentina. Great lesson ! Thank you very much, I enjoyed it and I learned a lot.
Lovely video thank you Tim - am inspired to start to learn jazz!
I would love to see your analysis and an etude (or "levels" of learning) for the tune "It Could Happen To You"
You're very much The Piano player Sir! AWESOME Teacher!
And funny thing, I almost skipped this lesson all together. There are a lot of options to choose from when skimming thru all the thumbnail images for videos on this song. So I said to myself...."Why should I bother watching this? The guy is wearing a sweat jacket....what kind of a jazz musician is going to make a god video wearing that?" Should never judge! So I was wrong, and I am so glad I made my way hear. You are helping me understand the basics of music theory and I never got it until today, now I am beginning to grasp the big picture and now I don't feel so lonely when I pick up my guitar.
Thanks! I appreciate your comments- I do sometimes go back and look at old videos that I’ve made and see how I can improve upon them. Maybe I should think about a new thumbnail for this one :) I’m glad this helped you. Cheers, Tim
@@TimCollinsVibes Really though, I am wrong to judge someone for that....your video is GREAT! For the first time in my life you are helping me to understand some music theory in a way that makes a lot of sense. Thank you so much!
@@yellowmagicdog3350 That's ok - it is something that people do subconsciously as well - so I need to keep it in mind for future videos. If you have suggestions for other topics you'd like to see, please let me know!
Hé! Thanks very much mr Collins! Great! Let me go study these scales! I've been singing this melody in the past.
Great lesson! Thank you!
Great Lesson! Great Etude!
Thank you very much for this great tutorial and your good job !!✌
Gracias y salud!
Actually working on “All The Things You are” right now. Found this video to be really helpful. Working also on Summertime, and Little Boat.
Beautiful Love (Young), Darn that Dream (Van Heusen), Night Dreamer (Shorter), Bluesette (Thielemans), Misty (Garner), Very Early (Evans),
Much appreciated!
Great skills to learn
Great lesson! Really clear and efficient. As a fretless bass player, I won't expect to play pentatonic scales as fluently as you do, but anyway, this is very useful for me. Thanks!!!
Isn't he great... And I'm a sax player... Tenor...like it matters... It's all good.
Thank you!!
this really spells it out for me as a guitar player. Thank you sir!
I like your videos. You're articulate and very understandable. Good Job.
Thanks! I'm trying to get better.
I love your phrasing Tim!
Thanks! Let me know if you are ever down 'south' in Munich.
Yes😍, on green dolphin street
Another great post Tim ! Your phrasing is super and have a very clean technique. Your videos helps me improve my sight reading. Cherokee would be a good one.
Hi Tim from Julie the Melodica player great video as usual i am working on this song right now thank you
Nice to hear from you! Have fun
Thank you for this lesson!
"Chega de saudade" would be nice
Tune Up
Great video and teaching!
Suggestions: Autumn Leaves, Blue Bassa, Fly me to the Moon
thank you so mucch
Hi Tim thanks for your videos! I’m practicing your soloetude and I‘ m really glad I found it.Im looking for some new inspiration for that tune I‘ m playing the same lines over and over again! I’m sure this will help
Tim, thanks so much for taking the time to create these excellent lessons!
I have learned so much from you.
Could you teach improvising on Coltrane’s Moment’s Notice?
Thanks!!!
Thanx! you save my life
haha - glad I could help, jazz can seem like life and death sometimes
im a guitar player and this helped me
gonna practice for 6 months hahah
lone wolf I’m a bass player and this is super helpful for practicing solos (when I have any haha)
Everyone is entitled to solo 😂
I play bass too but just blues
I'm only 3 minutes in and already have to say I love the elemental approach. Understanding the concept of key centres really unlocked the next level of improvisation for me, and this is a great presentation (and extension) of this approach. Thanks Tim!
Edit: ooooh see you in 3 months I guess
Thanks!
@@TimCollinsVibes thank you for this video tutorial,i would like to ask you if you know any international program that offers grade 1-8 then diploma in jazz music for every instruments include guitar,as it exists in classical music?
i think this is best jazz tutorial !!!!!
How one approaches teaching All The Things You Are may be my new standard for whether I subscribe or unsubscribe to a musician’s channel. Subscribed and liked. :) Cheers, Daniel
This guy is bananas good
thanx man u r great
Please, a video about soloing over My little suede shoes by Charlie Parker. Thanks Tim.
Amazing video... thank you! #SeeYouInThreeMonths
Hey Tim! I really enjoy your videos. I was wondering if you've considered doing a video about soloing over ballads. I'm playing Sophisticated Lady on a recital coming up and improvising over that tune is proving to be pretty tricky. Thanks man. Keep making awesome content!
ah yes - another great topic idea. I will definitely put that on the list! As a starting point, make sure you can really play the melody, and then improvise around it..on Sophisticated Lady specifically, I don't try to do too much on those descending dominant chords. Leaving space and playing slow rhythms is perfectly OK on ballads!
I would love to see your analysis of "Donna Lee"!
ime going to have a look into this for the keyboard ,i am interested in latin jazz ,with great tunes like carlos jobim childrens games
Love the class! Pls make Stella by Starlight!
Love these-how about Just friends, Green Dolphin, Wave, All of me
Thank you. Would enjoy a video tutorial on “Lester Left Town” by Wayne Shorter.
good job!!!!!! 🤣
I hope you’ve heard “ATTYA” on Hank Garland’s “Jazz Winds from a New Direction” with Gary Burton at age 17.
You Are Great !!
Thank you Sir🙏
Could you teach Us too for the song "Giant Step"?
Sounds great, would like to hear you interpret and also give some tips on Lazy bird, that bridge kills me every time.
This is actually one of my favorite Coltrane tunes - one tip is that I tend to ignore the V chord in all of the ii-V progressions and just improvise over the 'ii' instead. It's a lot less thinking. Definitely a good vid topic though, I'll put it on the list :)
I'll need those 6 months but I have some new direction to work with...thanks
Please make more tutorial about jazz piano... thanks
If you haven't already done so, tutorials for There Will Never be Another You and Just Friends
BLUE BOSSA & BLUE IN GREEN
Hey Tim, just starting out as a jazz vibes player (played drumset for years) and loving your videos. I'm starting on lv1. Do you have a video explaining how you figure out the key centers for each area of the tune. It's not always obvious sometimes, especially when it's seemingly changing every bar. Thanks
That’s a great question- the giveaway is to find the Dominant 7th chord resolving to a major (or minor) chord.. that’s your “1”.
Love ur Cat : D
Hi Tim, great video. I was wondering how you identified the key centres and where they stop and start. Thanks!
Hi Benjamin, it's the dominant 7th chords in this song that give it away (not in every song though). Dominant 7th chords are the 5 chord, and from there we can figure out what the 1 chord is, and also backtrack to identify the 6-3-2-5 before the 1.
Hey Tim, i really enjoy your videos, great work! i know this is a bit more advantage, but i would love to see you do the tune bebop by dizzy, concerning the issues of playing a fast tune which changes in it's A Section only between f minor and C7. That would be a tremendous source of inspiration, as always! Greets, Harald
I learned a great tip from a Barry Harris workshop years ago specifically for this tune - but I still find it difficult. Remember that the C7 isn't all that important - you can just improvise on F minor. Conversely, if the tune only had F minor, you could put the C7 in whenever you want and it will still sound good. The C7 is there to give some harmonic direction to the line, but it's still basically just F minor.
so simple, but so true.... thanks for the advice!! i've got another idea for a song for a video, but guess you have enough yet: misty!
I can never have too many suggestions... ;) It just takes me awhile to get through them all so be patient!
i will, rest assured.... ;) your videos are really great and a great source of inspiration, not only in learning and applying myself, but also for teaching and how to explain and verbalize different kinds of stuff! Great Job!!!

Have You Met Miss Jones, Joshua, Nica's Dream, E.S.P.
"You Stepped Out of a Dream"
Please, please, please demo Blues for Alice - Tricky tune to get right...
Donna Lee, Beatrice
Do you mind to show us the process of how you incorporate new vocab into ur playing and also the process of how you practice the same line in different contexts to familiarize with it?
That’s a good idea. I can try
This was wonderful. Thank you! I'm ready to practice the etude, though I can't find the download link on your website. Is it possible to provide that? Thanks again!
Thanks! The link is under “Sheet Music” and then “Vibes Etudes”
is there any chance to get a transcription of a solo of this wonderful song ???
Yes - just check the description.
Could you please do an episode on "Deep Purple"? The standard not the band lol. One of my favorites.
I have to admit, I don't know that tune.. but I love learning new ones, so I'll have to check it out!
Tim Collins I'm new to Jazz and it's the first song I'm doing a chord analysis on after watching some youtube videos. Deep Purple is in F. Was just working on it. Here's the sweet progression.
F F#/D7 (secondary dominant) Gm C7
F Cm (borrowed chord from parallel minor key) D7
Gm B flat minor(another borrowed chord from key of Fm) Am D7
Gm C7
Cadence F F#/D7 Gm C7
I'm not sure about the secondary dominant chord name, might be F#dim instead of F#/D7? Are they essentially the same? I'm 50 years old, hope it's not too late to learn this lol.
Tim Collins the version I'm working from is on this album. Frank Vignola is a master. th-cam.com/video/Z2vm-lyYQ04/w-d-xo.html
Tim you are Fantastic!! can I ask one infomation? that brand name of you microfhones. you sound is very very good.
best regards Dan
Thank you! I think in this video I just used the Zoom H4 for recording the vibes.
A Night in Tunisia
I’m not sure if it’s cheating to ask for two but Smoke gets in your Eyes. By Jerome Kern
Sure - ask away! That's a great tune.
When is the top 10 jobim tunes vid coming out?😅😅
Oh yea- it will definitely happen I promise! It’s just buried in the cacophony of my brain at the moment :)
Tim you're a virtuoso on Vibraphone. Playing piano as well?
Can you play work song? Milt jackson
Nice pick ;)
I like your cat
Misty!
Half-bred Apache (Getz)
Watermelon Man by Herbie Hancock!
Ah yes - you requested this before and I actually filmed it, only to have the SD card in my camera die, so I lost the video footage. I think this one has some broad appeal as well so it's on the list ;)
Body and Soul Please
That's a very good idea... thanks
no moe? watch what happens?..and hope you can share some idea about how practice syncopation into a tune
Yes! Rhythm is definitely going to be an upcoming topic.
A taste of honey by Lionel Hampton
Anthropology ? Half Nelson ?
Maybe donna lee
Beautiful love please
What kind of mallets are those ?
Those are the old Albright Mallets - unfortunately not made anymore.
Thanks a lot for all your teachings!!! I am learning too much at every day!!!
@@TimCollinsVibes they do sound great. Similar to the Milt Jackson mallets from Pro Mark. Also check out the new Drew Tucker mallets from IP! Awesome video as usual.
Homeboy is ripped, what strain are you smoking, Jazz CAT!?
actually I was recovering from a bad cold when I filmed this. Stereotypes abound though I guess.
Cat! :)
Cat has no melodic sense, but great sense of time!
Are you high? Haha nice video
Haha- I was pretty sick when I recorded this video if I remember correctly
The way to be a better jazz player is to own a cat
Instead of a tune...perhaps a style...Bossa Nova...? Thank you.
Is it sad I play vibraphone songs on my glockenspiel
