And i hope to see you soon again on stage. I have Heard you twice in Cologne with Diana Reeves and it Kind of opened my ears on how to play in a band, accompanying a Singer and share the place with a guitarrist.
Thanks. These 4 minute 2 minute video's are even better than the 2 minute one's! Especially for us luckily enough to have all the time in the whirled and not a 9 to 5 day job! Mike ... please keep'em coming and don't ever stop
Thanks for reminding me that the R57 voicing can sound good in a jazz context. As a guitarist I often avoid intervals of a 5th in the bass because it just sounds too "rock and roll" to me. You made me rethink this.
As musicians we always seem to push away the "simple" ideas and then inevitably come back to them when we're more advanced. I guess really, there's nothing wrong with a simple idea. A more developed musician knows the value in simplicity. It's a beautiful thing
Oh man, thank you for posting. I just got a chance to try it. Love it but boy do I need to practice. Haven't played piano since college...before life took over. LOL!!!
Dear Peter, Thank you very much, this is Great and so inspiring. Did. you ever do a full clinic on 4 on the Floor? Even so having good hands i find i difficult
Hi Peter. Prof pianist (rock specially but also jazz and classical styles) here, and I'm normally, for good or ill, pretty snobby about other players. But you are just a SUPERB player and all I can do is learn from you. Believe me I pressed the pause button and tried out some of the lines and riffs. Couple of things: 2. You are a very very lucky man being able to stretch left hand 10ths with ease. Of course there are alternatives with right hand open chords to make up the chord, but the fact is that some of these 10th voicings just sound better. 2. Do you play rock styles? It shares much with jazz obviously but of course there are many distinctions and its a whole world of piano playing in itself. Also, I like your teaching style. Its not too basic like many of the clips on other TH-cam piano channels. Also you don't condescend to your audience. All thumbs up here.
Hi Peter, I really do love this video. I showed it to my piano teacher, the great Kieran Quinn, Sligo, Rep of Ireland and together we worked out a four on the floor version of Cole Porter's "You do Something to Me" in the same style as Sinead O'Connor's version th-cam.com/video/PK9dtZSIj-U/w-d-xo.html Now I'm working on Richard Rogers "Have You Met Miss Jones?" and it all started with your 2 minutes of pure gold. Thank you very much indeed. Regards, Kevin Collins (Sligo)
Yep! And EG had a lot of ways of playing around with the left, like rolling the chords, often just the bottom note anticipating the rest of the chord on the beat. And he REALLY loosened up the feel of the right hand once he had that 4 on the floor going in the left.
Left hand hitting 10ths white key to white key, but at 0:33 the 10th from E flat to G is broken. I wonder what he would say about similar voicing options for solo piano for hands that cant reach that white-white 10th, or for hands that can't reach an octave.
@@076657 thank u very much! After posting asking for the changes e tried a little more and got it by ear, really simple, but my laziness made me ask for it instead of trying by myself. Anyways, thank u again!
So good! I could listen to this kind of playing forever.
Agreed. I like Peter's style more and more everytime i hear it.
@@cwestmont He has become one of my favorite pianists over the past year. Everything I hear him play just sounds so great.
Not just playing in time with the left hand while soloing out of time in the right, but talking about what he's doing as he does it. Mind blown.
OK, I'm hooked. Not stride but a stride feel...and it swings. Thank you.
Music just pours out of this man. We are blessed to be able to witness this.
Listening to Peter play is like watching Gene Kelly dance. Just so enjoyable.
Oh that is a wonderful analogy! Bang on!
Your playing is incredible Peter. Brilliant
Man your touch and your taste!
He's playing beautiful lines.
So great, so wonderful, you are great pianist and coach , just Oscar playing !!!Thank you Mercy MercyMercy !!!! Fred/ Nice/French Riviera /France
Daam. This dude is amazing - period
And i hope to see you soon again on stage. I have Heard you twice in Cologne with Diana Reeves and it Kind of opened my ears on how to play in a band, accompanying a Singer and share the place with a guitarrist.
Love your articulation! Great player.
UGH... T H A T S O U N D ! ! ! I love that sound so much
Incredible performance! Thanks you so much!

3:45 i love this
Magical playing from a master of his craft. What an inspiration!
Seriously being able to cram up this much info while maintaining a good quality is sure a gift! What a video it is.
A gift? I think he might practice
Oh man, thank you for posting. I just got a chance to try it. Love it but boy do I need to practice. Haven't played piano since college...before life took over. LOL!!!
This is beyond great, I can't find the words to describe how beatiful Peter's playing sounds, wonderful!
You have such an amazing feel Peter. Besides the great lines you play, your pocket is so deep!
Love it!!!! I enjoy hearing you play, Peter.
What a feel!
Peter brings it, every time.
What a groove! And the reminder on keeping the L hand dynamics soft and even is crucial?
Your playing is great man, thanks for sharing!
Alright man, alright. I dig it.
I am learning so much from these videos. Thanks!
Great job thank you!
you sound so great!
I cried at 2:35 omg pure magic
Love this lesson, sounding fantastic playing with this great tune!
super cool!!!
2:50 - 3:00 🤩
Man! I recently discovered your channel and I love it.
Stellar, man!
Beautiful!
Amazingg stuff on this channel! Keep it up 🔥
The best video on TH-cam
Oooh, that was a lovely intro! (the whole segment was delicious in fact :)
Man you got skills.
This guy is so cool
Smoother than a baby's bottom wrapped in silk. Do you have an album or something?
You can check out all of Peter Martin's albums right here: open.spotify.com/artist/2NECfOtC8yOOhD6J2qeRG4
Sounds good as usual, I can't resist asking though - is there a video where you play that accordion? I play piano and piano accordion too
Dear Peter, Thank you very much, this is Great and so inspiring. Did. you ever do a full clinic on 4 on the Floor? Even so having good hands i find i difficult
Great stuff
Homie you play like a boss! 😂 So good!
Thank you Peter for all you do! Dave McKenna was as master at this.
Erroll Garner made an entire career of it.
Abstract! Absolutely beautiful! Very colorful thanks.

This man is cold asf
Outstanding!
Great Shpw Nicely done as usual.
This beautiful
What a feel and technique ... any tips to play lines that fast? My technique is absolutely garbage compared to this.
Really nice!
mindblowing!
In those sad times of coronaphobia hopefully there's still Peter Martin playing us good stuff.

The basis of all of Errol Garner's swing playing.
Yep! And EG had a lot of ways of playing around with the left, like rolling the chords, often just the bottom note anticipating the rest of the chord on the beat. And he REALLY loosened up the feel of the right hand once he had that 4 on the floor going in the left.
I could spend hours to listen to that
Cool af
"Lovely", this is the word that came to mind or perhaps "Formidable". Lars
Long life and prosperity

Bravo! Very Count Basie'ish
Gotta be an Italian accordion in the back..or is it a Gretch made in the south in the 50's?
Beautiful. Can anyone name some solo piano players who used this style?
Erroll Garner
Are the chords played available somewhere?
Now that's how you play the blues
I don’t get it, I actually saw you use all 12 notes in multiple octaves, what scale(s) are you playing?
probably a comination of different scales plus chromatic transitions during chord changes
Why do my piano keys stick?
great stuff, I wish the lettering was off the keyboard, but great stuff.
Do Nothing Till.....
😎
Somebody could please tell me what are those changes ?
Do nothing till you hear from me.
I I7 IV IVm VI III IIm7 V7 etc it’s pretty standarish
B goes to another key, just I II V I and back
@@076657 thank u very much! After posting asking for the changes e tried a little more and got it by ear, really simple, but my laziness made me ask for it instead of trying by myself. Anyways, thank u again!
Neto Figueira nice, always do it yourself by ear of course! Good job, cheers
@@076657 In what key is he playing the tune?
@@frederic1000001 look for it yourself, which sounds like a tonic to you? Where should the song end? It's very easy.
I could up ✅ every positive comment ✅!
What's the chord progression of this song?
listen
@@ericharding92 Okay, that's NOT an answer.
Can you dig it???
Refreshing to see, in contrast to all the guitarists trying to sound like a piano, a pianist trying to sound like a guitar
Erroll Garner👍😎
Peter you forgot to say " happy practice "
Are you adding meaning to the traditional (not controversial) phrase, " four to the floor", or are you making a boo-boo?
Peter Martin
NOT !
