In this lesson we’re going to look at the jazz standard ‘Autumn Leaves’.
Autumn Leaves is one of the best-known of all jazz standards and is frequently called at jam sessions so it’s a good idea to learn and memorise these important chord changes.
Usually played in the key of G Minor, the tune follows a 32 measure AABC form and contains both major and minor 251 progressions. The same 251s are repeated throughout which makes the form easy to memorise and fun to play over.
We’re going to start off with some simple two handed voicings so that we understand the chord changes and the harmonic movement through the tune.
We will then create both a slow tempo, ballad arrangement and also an up tempo swing version for the second time through.

Great! Autumn Leaves is to me the „hello world“ of jazz.
Hugo Mañas haha 😅🎵👍🏻
Ah a programmer
As an analogy, I agree with this. Hahaha
Naw, "Hello world" is waaaay easier than this
Maybe in Java because of the verbosity 😅, this is not definitely a hello world of Jazz maybe a TODO list app or at least a CRUD
Dude... you'r like a magician who's revealing his secret of trade...right on brother....keep on sharing knowledge
Playing "Autumn Leaves" based on your tutorial has lifted me from a two- month slump. The pleasures of and fun in playing came back ; piano now back in groove. Thank you! 🎹🎶🎵
I learned misty from you and everyone I play it for loves it.definitely would recommend your videos for people who love piano
Thanks very much Evyn. That's great to hear :-) Cheers, PianoGroove
Your vidéo is very clear to understand concept and voicing thanks very much
Willy Mus best jazz tutorials on youtube imo ! Too bad there aren’t more tunes for free but I learn a lot Thanks to pianogroove and I like this kind of jazz
@@PianoGroove I would really appreciate any tips on how I can learn the theory behind the harmony used in the advanced voicings section. E.g. why does that g major upper structure work so well over the F dominant chord? How would somebody think to use that here?
Showing a figured bass line gets the fear of what key your in while promoting modulations. Adding a bit more Bach theory would assist your very delightful examples. I’d enjoy a printable version of exactly what you’re actually playing- nice work & please keep it coming.
I have set up my computer's external monitor to sit on top of my Yamaha portable grand. By so doing, I can watch the tutorial directly and practice playing "Autumn Leaves" on the keyboard. Thanks a lot for sharing your brilliancy in playing an immortal song.
Magical piano playing! The way you rearrange the popular songs is totally magical! Please do more of this kind. This way we learn from you how to convert the simple songs into magic! Thank you.
There is another, simpler, and even easier to memorize way of looking at section A: it is such a great example of 4736251 progression - going down the circle of fifths through all the seven steps of the scale, all perfect fifths except one, one diminished 5th (6-2) has to be used in order to stay within the scale and to limit the progression to just 7 chords instead of 12. Actually, nothing to memorize at all. Just start at 1, then begin playing the melody while going down a fifth each time until you reach 1 again, dominant 7th chord @ 5 - who uses natural minor anyway? (1)4736251 sounds great in minor keys.
What am i even reading here :D
Had to read it a couple times but yea a chain of 2 5’s is easier to remember
This Tutorial is so useful. You explain not too much and not too less. Just perfect for someone who can play the piano but just started with Jazz, which is pretty much like learning a new instrument.
So thanks a lot my friend and best wishes from Germany.
Keep on going
this 100%
The C, F, Bb, Eb, A*, D7, G Circle Progression is both calming and satisfying to hear.
Started learning this 4 months into teaching myself the piano. You did an outstanding job breaking it all down and was able to learn the "simple voicing" in a week! Will slowly be working through the ballad and swing arrangements. Thank you for sharing. You are a brilliant musician
Great to be able to look behind the curtain into the world of the magic of jazz piano. Alterations, substitutions, passing chords... the whole shabang is well displayed here.
And the keen British mind shows its impeccable superiority.
Great explanation behind things. Never knew I was so close theoretically to learning such a beautiful piece until you showed that it's mainly 2-5-1's used effectively
Благодарю Вас за очень . интересный урок! Всё поняла , даже если говорим мы на разных языках. Привет Вам из Севастополя.
Le agradezco porque no soy conocedor de la música y con su ayuda y dedicación he logrado interpretar esas bellas melodías le pediría el favor qué incluyera más de estos hermosos temas Muchas gracias
This one is excellent! One of the best versions I've ever heard and very helpful to learn Jazz chord progressions, substitutions and more! Thank you very much for this! ;)
I love how the progressions demonstrates the transitions from chord to chord
Best tutorial 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
Without TH-cam I would never learn to play... I thank God everyone someone outs up this content of quality for free.
Ps Ive had piano teachers spent 500+ to learn scales and voicing.
I came here for the tutorial but I just keep listening to the tune over and over, it doesn't get old. Thank you so much for sharing this Sir.
I am not a piano player, but a guitarist and your version has helped me develop my chord shapes to sound more elegant and to understand how the melody develops over the time. Great job!
as a guitarist who watches lots of tutorials, you sir make some substancial work, keep going, subscribed.
Thank you for thinking through the visual illustration (which is wonderfully clear) and also your spoken explanation, which is straightforward , precise and very easy to follow. I'm struggling to absorb it - but - heck, that's why I'm here!!!
hayden, although I am slow to grasp and remember at sixty seven I think your tutorials are by far the best I have dabbled with. for all levels! you create building blocks to explain and illustrate complex musical concepts . you have the magic touch. thanks
your teachings make my passion for the piano reborn, thank you for all your patience and for teaching your secrets. greetings from Guatemala
So clear and a really good pace - thanks so much. So helpful to be able to see so clearly the notes of the chords.
Thank you for your contribution to Jazz and those who aspire to enjoy making it - God bless your efforts!
Dear kind sir, you play so magically, beautifully and wonderfully. Your music touches my soul and gives me goosebumps. Thank you.
Well said.
Frankly this is one of the best videos I have ever watched in YT. It is useful even for beginners because the information is coming little by little, and the player is not too worried about showing his obvious skills or overwhelm the viewer with his knowledge, he is just interesed in making the concepts understood gradually. This is a really pedagogical lesson. Ty a lot, it was awesome.
hello, where can I find the sheet music?
I like very much jazz music. I start piano latter. Your lessons explain me so much about the construction of this music: i'm so happy to sounds like the tune i'm found of. Your series of videos are great: quiet speech, synchronized sheet & keyboard display with highlights. I suppose it was a big work to do this. All this as a free videos. Again thanks for all this great jobs.
Simply the best jazz piano tutorial for this song on TH-cam!
Thank you for sharing what you know. So many of these chord changes have for a long time dangled just out of my reach and taunting me. Thanks for bringing them down to where I can reach them. It's like " There you are you tricky little chord change ! I got you now ! " It's very pleasurable.
What a great instructor. Thanks for helping me with those so what/passing tone chords. Much appreciated!!
Cheers!!
A beautiful arrangement with your fills. Bending the chords to your will was great for tension and release.
Love it love it! Thx for the demonstration and explanation. I have learned so much from you. 🙏❤️❤️❤️
Brilliant tutorial. So clear on so many aspects. Thanks.
Learning this as my very first song. 1 week in, great instruction. Excellent explanations of musical theory.
Brilliant ! I can't thank you enough !!!! May you have a wonderful and safe Autumn. Thanks for breaking things down slowly and for your excellent explainations. Best from New York.
Brilliant. These lessons are beginning to demystify Jazz Piano for me in an thoughtful and concise way. Thank You.
Thanks Zack, I'm really glad to hear that. At pianogroove.com we try to make things as simple as possible and so it's great to hear that it's working for you. All the best dude :-)
I just wrote the most independent piano piece just by listening to you. With in about 20 minutes of practicing I was able to add more rhythm and depth to my music I appreciate this video it really helped. If I got out of written block cause of this I highly suggest any struggling musician to listen what this man has to say. Very talented and your knowledge is much appreciated

Beautiful thank you so much. Gracias.
This is amazing, thank you so much
Adorei escutar essas músicas de verdade, e maravilhosas
When he says "this simple voices" and I'm like WTF. Great work here man!
me too! :D
Yeah, he offers what I would call not "simple" arrangements but rather "spare," or you might even say "haunting." I want to learn the more complex stuff as well, but I will never tire of playing the "simple" arrangements. There are times when they fit the mood better.
I was trained in classical music when much younger (now in my 60's). I love this piece and can already play the 'normal-style' of (full) sheet music, with all the notes. Now, I'm trying to learn to play this lovely piece using these chords (w/your 'VERY high level' of 'modern chord language - yikes!) is really quite daunting. However, I'm trying to follow you - and this jazz version sounds beautiful. Chords seem very advanced. Now, I think I'm just getting stuck and very frustrated. :(
I found it difficult also after playing classical for years. To me it’s a whole different ball game. It helped me a lot when I slowed down the video and try to pick apart the chords he played. This version he played so beautifully. I also love the Beeji Adair Trio Version. It’s similar to this but a bit faster.
It would be nice if we can read this arrangement with full sheet music
@@roderickharper8872 -that was exactly my thought as well/ great tune and accompanying bass-but the bass line is being improvised on the chord I suppose-still-it would be great to see the notes written- that how “I” learn and memorize pieces / Be Well
Thanks for your lessons 🍷
so good! thanks for that
wow you are so good thanks for that man! just awesome how you teach me!
Wonderfull well explained !
it's easy to follow~ GOOD JOB!
Thanks Koumi.
Thank you very much.
Thank you for the explain it helps a lot
It is easy to understand and play it. Thank you!! I love piano. I liked and subscribed it.
I love the way you create your voicings. It just sound so beautiful. Maybe someday I can play like that.
Não sei inglês.
Thank dor helping me play this
