I would replace "task" with "journey". There are few things more satisfying than being able to do something today that I could not do yesterday. Especially when it comes to self expression!
Fantastic!! note that the out notes are good but only for little seconds so its clear that out playin is good in the middle of in playin, and for a little space of time! ciao from Italy
Haven’t even got halfway through and I think I found something real special here. Mainly a guitar player but I’m really wanting to play piano/keyboard/organ because I understand quite a bit of theory and it just seems fun and like I could do it. Your one of those secret goldmine channels, I can tell. Keep it up brotha!
Hi Oliver, I'm an amateur guitarist from Malaysia. I must say that you are one of the most generous and wonderful personI've had the pleasure of encountering on the internet. Your little lessons are pure gold. God bless and keep up the good work! You have a new Patreon subscriber here.
Hi Oliver, Each month I'm amazed at your musical and creative imagination. Developing technique, learning the minor blues scales, and most of all learning to improvise while having a ton of fun! Thank you once again for your generosity and for creating a great time on the "musical playground". Warmest regards to you too!
Great! I think it's important for us new people too! At the moment I have so much of your material to go though. I practice every day. I'm getting there!!!
Thank you so much Mr. Oliver, Your so well informed and helpful. I hope one day this can be your full time focus. It's great to see you do what you enjoy. 🙏🏼
Thank you, Oliver. Regulars of course will know that you are not emphasizing the first 3 fingers for the first time. pentatonic and blues scales and their transitions were very well put in your lessons through the same technique. if I may add another important benefit of your 3 finger grip as the main motor, in addition to being the strongest fingers, these fingers also show us the way. they naturally lead us into pentatonic, blues, or modal improvisation. the practice will automatically switch to other tonalities. the grip for this key becomes a module, for another, to be used either inside and or outside providing never-ending possibilities. Regards, U.
@@NewJazz lets say staying all notes in the key of C. CEF GBC DFG ACD EGA BDE FAB… and for outside all in key of C#. I mean throw them in at times i am fluent this way too but is there a use for it. does it make any sense?
@@thezenbum Yes!!! You can of course alter the hand grips all that you want - whatever makes sense to you. That's the idea about using hand grips actually ;) In this other (quite old) lesson we do stepwise grips if you should be interested: th-cam.com/video/ayTl-VF6-nk/w-d-xo.html
This is a super excellent lesson, exactly what I was waiting and looking for!! I'm definitely on for this series. One vid per month is 👌 to fully internalise the stuff in this vid. 🙏.

You are singlehandedly (heh) the best TH-camr I know. You seem like such a great person and you've taught me so much :,) thank you for keeping jazz alive friend
congratulations for the video and thank you for these pearls you give us. I am also a bus driver and musician by passion. My instrument is the sax. Soon. Fabio🎷🎷🎷
You’ve helped my with my piano skills so much since I’ve found your channel, thank you so much for givin free lessons to help others like myself on this musical journey of life. I can’t thank you enough my guy🙌🏾💯
Love your content and appreciate it so much. Have to check for more beginner tips and techniques to learn here cause this is above my level by miles ha! Keep it up!
Do you ever just "lose it", Oliver? Of course you do. What I mean by "lose it" (I think that expression is American slang) is that your technique vanishes and you play with total abandon. you have to acquire the chops (slang for technique) before you can "lose" them. The rest is a matter of soulfulness...another concept so difficult to define yet so essential to what we do. To put it all together, we want to "lose it soulfully" while we play. To perform with complete abandon while subsuming a vast set of information and skills. THAT is the highest form of virtuosity.
That's great! This is definite step up for me. But at 6:48, going through those runs, it is not at all immediately apparent how to move fluidly between each of the three hand grips introduced at 5:09. Repeating a note as you shift from grip to grip is a start, but you move quickly beyond that into 6:48.
Hi and thanks :) Later on I'll add some videos to the chunk with "licks" in slow motion and with sheet music and everything. But it'll take a while before we get there... I hope you have patient with me... Cheers from Oliver
Wow I'm so intrigued and I can't wait to see more with the next videos :) I always heard that some great pianists (like Erroll Garner, Art Tatum, Nat Cole...) used to play their solos with only three fingers. Is that the same fingering you plan to teach us here? also, isn't this a paradigm shift from your previous lessons? (I think about the "pentatonic grip"). Anyway, best YT channel ever!! Thanx!
Hi and thanks a lot. Well, please note that one of the 3 finger hand grips in use is actually just the start of a pentatonic grip - we just skip the 4th and 5th finger ;) For example the hand grip c-eb-f (and we skip g and bb). I don't know how exactly Erroll Garner and the others did it - but I also heart that they occasionally used only 3 fingers. I also noticed that Oscar Peterson did that ;) Cheers from Oliver
@@NewJazz Yes exactly! But not just "the start", if we look at the 3 grip positions as a whole, then we have the full pentatonic (+ the blue note!) This is why I was wondering if this new series of lessons was not a new paradigm :-) A new way to play pentatonic scales (or blues scales). With more "pieces" in the puzzle. As we know that if we cut into small pieces, we are more likely to have a "fresher" playing. Less chances to have the same boring solos over and over again (just like the pentatonic grip was already a great way to avoid playing up / down the "standard" pentatonic scales)
@@TheJeffibox Exactly; you can divide the pentatonic hand grip into a 3 finger hand grip placed at 2 positions. And if you add the chromatic hand grip in the middle you've got the blues scale. Using only 3 fingers have some benefits compared to the 5 finger pentatonic hand grip. We can for example play faster and more simple. But adding the two last fingers is also a good thing, occasionally. What I want to show, as we move forward, is that the 3 finger hand grip can function as a motor - a mental motor for improvisation so to speak. When the 3 fingers are up and running it becomes quite easy to add the 4th and 5th finger as well ;) Cheers from Oliver
Hi Oliver. I had to buy a Car cause my home has no Busdriver like you around. I buyed a Smaet ForTwo Passion (2007) with a 3 cylinder Machine with a consum of around 4.4l/100km. What i didnt know that this Engine has 81 PS for 800kg. But its like a Gocard. Like your 3 Finger Engine;)
Interesting and well done as usual. So eg when you move to Ab I thought you also need to play Ab in the left hand? Not so it seems here. Just keep rolling along on G and the variations on right hand gel ok?
Thanks a lot :) And yes - this is how I play ;) But I believe others play/improvise in the same way - it's just a question about explaining what's going on... Cheers from Oliver
Hi :) I use this VST from Native Instruments: www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/keys/the-grandeur/ The keyboard is a Kawai VPC1 Cheers from Oliver
Hi and thanks :) Later on I'll do some videos with licks and phrases if that's what you mean. But I can only manage to do one vid every month and it'll take a while before we get there. I surely hope you have patience with me... Regards from Oliver
Hi :) You can turn on the English subtitles in the video settings and choose ‘auto translation’ to any language you prefer, for example Spanish ;) But I think the auto translation is only available on PC and not mobile phones and pads… Cheers from Oliver

Self improvement is a never-ending task.
Correct!!! :)
A ver old and genius cello player was once asked why he still practices his cello ever day and he replied “i think im making progress”
I would replace "task" with "journey". There are few things more satisfying than being able to do something today that I could not do yesterday. Especially when it comes to self expression!
Fantastic!! note that the out notes are good but only for little seconds so its clear that out playin is good in the middle of in playin, and for a little space of time! ciao from Italy
As always, this was a great lesson. You're really helping me break out of that classical pianist cage I've been in. Thanks so much. :)
Better one video per month with high quality than one video per week without real information.
Your videos are great.
I let all the ads play, I'd drive so you could just continue to share all these amazing ways of understanding the keyboard. Thank you so much, Oliver!
The Master of Jazz improvisation returns!
What to say...? Incredible, Impressive, Wonderful, Lovely, Beautiful .
you are a gift to the world! I am so grateful for you. thank you for teaching us.
You classes are so motivating it's unbelievable.
Oliver! You’re the best bus driver and great educator at the same time!!! Thank you, maestro!

I have always wanted to understand the 3 fingers motor system. I never thought it was so simple. Thank you for this.
Oliver, thank you so much. You inspire me to play and practise more and just to have fun with music. Kind regards from the Netherlands.
Always a pleasure learning from you Oliver! Thank you so much for what you do. Send him money to help, everyone!

Very clever approach! Await anxiously the next lessons!
Thanks a lot for sharing this. It's perhaps the most intuitive and comprehensible introduction to playing outside!
Wow! Incredible again! Thank you Oliver!
Please never stop making videos. ❤️
Thank you Oliver! You're awesome! It's good that I have one month to practice until next lesson ;)
That's a fantastic lesson for any musician, not just keys, thank you so much!
Apparently simple, it contains a great musical content. Thank very much again Oliver.
Great! I think it's important for us new people too! At the moment I have so much of your material to go though. I practice every day. I'm getting there!!!

@@NewJazz Questions...
is there a use of these 3 finger patterns all in flattened version?
@@thezenbum Maybe you can elaborate a little???
