Great lesson as always! After discovering Chopin and jazz some years ago, I finally realized I can use ANY note when soloing. It was like a new world opened up for me ... and now I get bored when music is too consonant.
Yes we can use all notes when we improvise . Just think your melody liks desonant note is an owsome then resolve it in consonant notes jazz is freedom tune of music. There is no wrong notes . Ugly note there is. It depend in our ear.
@@Stupid_Genius_09 yes sir your right. Music theory is our guide and map for improvise. But our creativity is essential to exercise for creating sounds. In freedom
These videos of yours are amazing. You have such a good method of expressing jazz piano techniques without it being difficult. It’s like magic how well it works
Shhh! Guitar princess here sneaking over from the dad rock pentatonic dark side 🤫Stellar content. I’m so glad I subbed. I’ve been struggling with building and releasing tension (tastefully) in my phrasing. This upload is extremely helpful. 👍👍👍
You are absolutely smashing out the theory in the most understable way. I don't even play piano but guitar and it's easier to understand than guitar TH-camrs
When you think about it, the idea of neighbouring notes was explored in Bach time . All ornementation in baroque was built using this principle and there was a lot of improvisation at that time using this musical device . Bach rules !!
This is really cool. I was familiar with the phrase passing notes which is similar but not quite the same. The concept of resolving on the main notes does seem the same though.
I’ve always joked that Jazz musicians will shred the chromatic scale. Although there’s more to it than that obviously, it’s nice to know that every one of the 12 tones on the piano is fair game.
The "I really mean that" phrase give me 2 interpretation of the previous phrase: 1)this is a great piano tutorial 2)this is a great mating tutorial. Maybe the latter is how the other guy understood your comment
Ever heard of Ragas? They are basically cherry-picked notes from the 12 notes, over centuries depending on the mood/season/event etc. What is more, the notes can be different when going upscale, and different while going down. No, I am not Indian Classicaly trained, but would it not be great if we were.
Truth is you are not using a chromatic scale at all but simple using approaches to chord tones. Again, "gotta be careful not to be misled. Also: Dorian and mixolydian are modes, not scales, and have an entirely different application than as described here. Be careful guys.
Boring. These are not pro techniques, only the second step in your improvisation journey, and the way they are revealed as THE thing that will make you a pro is misleading.

Serious soloing is harmonically going outside for a bit and always moving back into the appropriate key.
The lesson I just saw was blazing

Thaks for the awesome content!
PS: have anyone told you that you look a little like Ralph Fiennes?
So I should use this chromatic scale as opposed to the blues scale?
What video[s]to you have explaining how you separate chords in the left hand when playing jazz?
5:14 The g is in the D minor scale right? B is the dorian note in the D minor scale
Great f*&^ing tutorial, I really mean that!!!
You're wrong. It's a tutorial to teach you how to play the piano...
@@seanonel No, I'm serious, it's a very helpful tutorial, I was really educated, it was totally meant in respect.
The "I really mean that" phrase give me 2 interpretation of the previous phrase: 1)this is a great piano tutorial 2)this is a great mating tutorial. Maybe the latter is how the other guy understood your comment
@@vubao4909 I was just joking...
@@seanonel sorry, I was in post nut clarity
These are basics of BEBOP style
Jazz is basically learning all the rules so you know how to break them.

Actually all these modes are the one major scale, they just start on different notes.
So what is a chromatic scale? You said he isn't using chromatic scale, really?? Pls define chromatic scale.

How to teach bebop without saying "bebop".
I hate the sound of a minor 7th with a 13. I hate when it’s subbed in for the vi. It doesn’t sound good at all.

Great lesson - many thanks!
