The title sounded too ambitious, but the first minute proved it was no joke
Thanks, William- I hear you haha! Yeah to be fair, anyone trying to sound like Art Tatum is a bit ambitious... but it can't hurt to study his playing, try to understand it, and come up with ways to work on his techniques. In the end, it'll just inform our own playing in unique ways, which I think is the point anyway.
I literally said out loud "doubt" then was absolutely proven wrong lol, great tutorial video
imagine if this video is just him saying "you cant" and then end it
but man, this guy got the skills
hahah just read this again... maybe that should have been the video LOL!
The fact that you understand the logic behind Art Tatum's playing and you can break it down for us mere mortals is proof that you're a replica of him.
If you don't understand electricity, light bulbs look like magic
Thanks it’s so rare to find these kind of videos. Or any kind of tutorial involving tatum
My pleasure. Yeah, Tatum is a difficult subject to cover- I did my best to break it down into manageable and digestible information that we can apply to our playing quickly.
I always admired Oscar Peterson for his genuine respect for Art Tatum despite his own obvious exceptional ability. Your tutorial demonstrates a similar 'modesty ' in as much as apart from the extremely helpful teaching elements, you clearly belong to the top drawer in your own right! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much 🙏 sorry for the late reply just saw this
You’re really an amazing pianist. I grew up on Art Tatum. You’re the only one I know who can teach it. I never thought it was possible to play like him. You make it look really easy!
You are an excellent teacher. I've been playing my entire life and I love the way you explain how it works because you understand it very well.
Honestly, Noah, you're the best. Love these "How to sound like" series. Keep 'em coming please! :)
And as always, thanks a lot, this content means a lot and makes all the difference!
Damn!!!!!!
I always womdered what he was thinking when he does that last harmonic trick.
Its simple when u do it but obviously when he does it.... he puts it in crazy places that make it sound bananas!!
Great video!!!
Noah, I really enjoyed the fact you are remembering a great one. Art Tatum was a legend. What I find amazing is his improvisational skills. Thank you very much
Sir...
You have done the unthinkable and been able to give us insignificant beings a glimpse of Art's God tier technique...thank you so much.
You're welcome, Urahara!
Couldn't agree more 👏🏿.
I really enjoyed this!!! I love it when keyboard players say the full names of the chords but you also shared the fingerings.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!!
Great demonstration thank you
Your videos are mind blowing my man
I ran across this video, looked on your store, saw Full Collection Bundle, saw Black Friday coupon. Rest is history. Just got through a few of the PDFs + videos and there is an incredible amount of quality content here! It's like unlocking the second half of the map in a video game. Stuff I always knew was there, but didn't know how to get there. Thanks, Noah!
To others who don't want to buy the full pack, the Stride Exercises book is really juicy!
Thanks, Benny! So glad you found me and thanks for the the support. Hope you enjoy all the exercises!
Really outstanding!
It’s just too good 😍😍😍😍 Thanks!!!
You are very talented Sir..Thank you for this tutorial!!!
loved it ..the first stride part after the 10,s was a little quick for the eye but i got it,,brilliant thank you
The fact that you can break down Art Tatum's playing, shows what a monster pianist you really are!!!!

I don't even know how to play the piano but from 14:51 to 15:12 when you're doing the final chords, heck lololol if I could just play THAT!! That would be enough for me to play around on a mall piano. it might be simple stuff to all the other commenters on here that know how to play piano but to me that's......I'm envious hats off to you sir 👏👏

Bro youre a savage. Hit me up if you ever need an electric bassist. Im really having a hard time meeting jazz players (since im a death metal guy) but my college teacher putter turned me onto the deep cuts ten years ago and my interest only grows with age. Great content, cheers man.
I lost 3 fingers in Iraq so I will live vicariously through your playing.
Sorry to hear that, and thank you so much for your service. Glad to provide you with some vicarious piano playing to enjoy!
Thank you so much for sharing
You're welcome!

Thank you!
You're welcome, Eugene.

Very glad to hear that! Let me know if you have any questions I can help out with.
Well done, Noah! Really good lessom. Those tenths sounds really neat in stride. Tatum is out of this world. / @olovlig
Thanks Olov!!
Art Tatum is the only recorded legitimate Jedi name for a pianist there ever was.. very rich and insightful video, reminds me of an 1980 interview between Master Oscar Peterson and Count Basie saying ¨I don`t think he could stand any spaces¨
Glad you enjoyed it, Luis! True... Tatum was a master piano Jedi :P
thank you
You're very welcome!
super informative and high quality video! i was wondering what some of your favorite recordings of him are. thanks!
Thanks, Adam. I've always loved his "Willow Weep For Me," as well as "Nice Work If You Can Get It" off of The Complete Capitol Recordings (which I believe are on streaming platforms). Do you have any favorites yourself?
Noah Kellman ooh yeah those ones are killing. my personal favorites are his live recording of humoresque on youtube, along with Isn’t this a lovely day
Wow!
Wow amazing
Thanks, Jorsen!
@@NoahKellman i like your playing piano very good, come iam pianist to..but you are the best
Noah thanks for this video. Even approaching Tatum’s extraordinary technique is a difficult task to be sure. Dave Frank has presented some material on Tatum as well. But where his approach, your approach and method book analyses fall short is by failing to give references to specific tunes he recorded. At this point in his interpretation he did this and give a demonstration. The very general ideas you are presenting are helpful but could be better if applied to a specific tune and set of chord changes. Of course there are several good books of Tatum transcriptions out there but they also fall short in my opinion because they often do not include his best stuff when interpreting lesser known standards like “So Beats My Heart For You” or “Don’t Worry About Me.”
Super!!
Thanks, Andres!
Extremely valuable lesson. Very clear explanation. I guess the challenge now is bringing all these techniques up to speed
Much thanks!
You're welcome, David!
Excellent 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 evry videos..(. good teacher)
Thanks, Solomon! Let me know if you have any questions about thr lesson.
Ya no aguanto mis ganas de tocar como Artttt!!!
Muy bueno its very good from argentina
Gracias, Juan!
The intro of the video is absolutely insane 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hey thanks Curtis :)
I want to be as good as you, want to follow you to learn more from you because I believe you are my breakthrough as far as jazz music is concerned.. Please help me... How do you I link up with you ??
@@havenofrest5970 Hey Curtis, are you interested in private lessons you mean? Feel free to visit my website for more info jazzpianoconcepts.com/
Thanks Noah for trying to simplify mysic.
You got a sub from me good job
Good video. Been checking u out bro.Solid technique. Ambitious title though lol
….forgot to add - Towards the end re: “reharm on ii-V-I’s” there is a misspeak on your video as the resolved I chord is E flat (not B flat) major. (See also the erroneous text accompanying the video.) This is simply a minor “speaking” mistake for any of us, I’m sure, as you actually play it the right way - plus the rest of video is really fabulous!
Damn this is hard af but it sounds soooo good
He was the master ,many give up when they hear him,ha but we must try imo
Can you cover Johnny Costa? Thank you for your tutorials!
You're welcome! I don't know his playing too well, but I'll take a listen and see if I can put something together down the road! Thanks for watching.
@@NoahKellman if u listen to at least 20-30 Johnny costa songs u can notice at least 3-5 tricks he uses extremely often in plenty of songs over and over, one of them being 2 handed blues scale runs, and when he plays runs he randomly jumps octaves goes up and down plenty and uses chromatics a lot
Do any of your courses/videos cover the right handed descending runs Tatum uses (and you did too) all the time?
I think you should add song examples to tutorials like these...it can help with ear training
on the last harmonic/dominant tune you played, were those chords or voicings !??
How do you recommend pedaling in stride style? (Specifically referring to the left hand)
Hey mason, good question. Believe it or not, I like to tap my foot on all four directly on the pedal. I love how it adds a little sustain to the bass notes, then releases the sustain so the chord hits quickly. Make sense?
Hey man, what software you use to get the keys to play back what you're playing?
Hey Matt, great little program called Synthesia!
11:45 Chick Corea used it a lot and he called it Ten Drummers
What's the intro song?
Hey ,I love your channel man. I had just one doubt- WHAT CHORD PROGRESSION IS PLAYED WHEN THE SOLOIST IS SOLOING. Please Noah I have been looking all over for this answer please please please man
Hey Bishnu, do you mean for a specific song? When a soloist is soloing, you play the chords of the song you are playing. The progression is the same as during the melody.
Thank you man....you are a life saver.... appreciate it a lot..... I really like your playing btw.
@@bishnuthapa6226 You're welcome man, and thanks!!
Isnt that an altered chord or a diminished? I didnt see you playing the flat 5...?
Bonjour
Je cherche la la partition de art tatum
M
13:46 Eb maj9
Peterson said its impossible! but this guy is going to break it down in 15 min))))) ahahahaahaa
Why would anyone downvote this! 😂😳 like why?
at 13:46 I believe you mean to say Ebmaj9. Small mistake but man I just discovered these videos and I love them. Great work!
Hey Corey, yeah 100% thanks for catching that!
It's probably too late to ask, but do you know other keys or chords where that C7alt run can be used? It looks like it won't work unless it's fingered 1-2-3 and the thumb always hits a white key. I tried it in Db but hit a wall.
I managed to do it in F7alt but that's about it.
😘
1:03 us mere mortals 🤣🤣
