- How to Improvise in the Lounge Piano Style with just Two Chords -
C6 and Ddim.
This is all you're gonna need to start learning the lounge style.
A relaxing and fun style to improvise and impress everyone at your next cocktail party!
I have a Master's degree in Music but I've never seen stylistic playing such as this so simply and efficiently encapsulated for achievability with minimal training/study. Bravo!!
The first video that actually tells you how to learn stuff in five minutes
This was really helpful to me. One of the best break-downs Ive seen of how to actually play around with the Barry Harris scale.
Happy to hear. Barrys scales are not TOO complicated. But there's a lot to dive into.
@@loungepiano _...but there's a lot to dive into...._ that's the complicated part.
@@pangeaproxima3681 it's a simple concept that can be expanded on. It's a way of simplifying harmonies to free you up to do more
@@granddaddy_funk Man, you sound like a teacher and you didn't understand my comment.
@@pangeaproxima3681 I am a piano teacher lol.
Best lounge jazz tutorial I've seen! Really helps to just think about sticking to 2 chords and playing all their notes in different ways. So nice, thank you. Really looking forward to try it.
Happy you found it helpful!
Seeking THIS tutorial for 40 years.
Hope you don't have to spend another 40 to find the next 😅
Who else is pouring a glass of wine? Awesome video! Thanks!
Having a good time 😄👍
I've been trying for over a year to learn and get better at this exact lounge/cocktail style of piano. I've made a lot of progress, but this video had more of an immediate and measurable impact than anything else I've come across. Please make more of these types of videos! This could be a huge win for your channel. You are straight to the point, clear, and informative. Stick with this, and RUN WITH IT.
Yes! I totally agree! More of tutorials like this!
Same for me 🎉
Thanks! Your advices have been really helpful to me. Thank you for your support and interest in this channel 🙏
That was way better than it had any right to be. Beautifully explained.
Thanks!
I never knew Ryan Gosling is such a good pianist.
I take it as two compliments in one comment 😄
now this is the man I have been looking all my life. Someone who can simplify my piano life
Straight to the point without beating around the bush, information is broken down and presented in a format which is easier to understand and quickly put into practice.. Great tutorial! Thank you :)
You're welcome. Thanks for the feedback!
Very nice. That’s the sound of the “tinkling piano in the next apartment” [These Foolish Things] “Those stumbling words that told you what my heart meant”. What a rhyme.
Wow. This could also be seen as a really cool and melodic approach for practicing Barry Harris diminished 6th concept. Brilliant!
Exactly!
This is a great tutorial! More focussed on making music than on using complicated ideas. Please make more of these.
Thanks for the feedback. I will!
Yea please do more things like this, less truly is more!!
You're a fantastic teacher! It's been a while since I've seen such a comprehensive piano lesson - appreciate the easy breakdown and straight to the point format, keep it up!
This was so relaxing! Was watching it on the toilet and took the best dump of my life
Man, I love finding videos and channels like this. You teach it so simply and give enough for one to fill an entire practice session with this 5 minute lesson. Always wanted to learn lounge piano stuff
That's what I know as Barry Harry 6th diminished scale. It's beautiful, you give really nice examples.
I don't know why, but I find this IMMENSELY helpful and useful. Thank you for this GREAT tutorial!
Bro- Props to your teaching skills. Exactly what I was looking for as a small guidance. Thank you!
No problem!
I have heard this run played in churches by gospel keyboardists and have wanted to know what they’ve been playing. Thank you for sharing. 💙
You're welcome
This is the most "practical" tutorial I've ever found!
Happy to hear. It really is meant to be a PRACTICAL tutorial. We want to play!
Please make more of these videos! 😮 its amazing how simple and clear you explained it. thank you 🎉
Ima be back later and just listen to this while I drift off. Your voice is as smooth as your playing my man.
Happy to hear
Most elegant and practical explanation of Barry Harris' 6th diminished scale ever!!!
I think I learned this as Barry Harris's diminished sixth scales... Either way - it's beautiful! Thanks - subscribed 👍👍
Yes. That's the way he explained it too.
There are a lot of crappy scammy videos promising things like this, but, wow! Yours is the first one I see that truly delivers! Happy to subscribe to your channel
Very helpful! Just to be clear this method does not limit the music to just 2 chords. Instead it allows you to generate many different chords by thinking of them as variations of 2 simpler chords with different moods. Since piano lounge music is all about the mood, we don't really need to know exactly what the chord is, just the mood it brings.
I was looking for this comment. Thank you! ❤️
The best piano video I’ve ever seen bar far! Instant sub. 😮
I was smiling as i found this beautiful and well explained turorial. Thank you!!
Happy to bring up a smile! Thanks for the nice comment.
Excellent. Many thanks.
You're welcome!
You are opening so many doors for me with this tutorial god bless you very much its the first time i am visiting your channel i am from curacao
I could listen to this all day! I don't think I've ever heard a better piece of music that is so calming and yet keeps me eager to hear the next note! Thanks so much for sharing your talent! May God bless you!
Excellent video. I'm usually skeptical about music tutorial, but this is very instructive and well put. Also, your playing is soft and enjoyable to hear. Keep it up!
Very good.
hehe magic magic of the bebop scale, yees
Wow! This is like...how to play the piano in a nutshell. Thanks!
This is BarryHarris sixth and diminished scale! Great stuff
By just concentrating on those two chords, one is actually playing more than just two chords when inverted. Excellent video. I’ve been saying this to my friends for years.
I was planning on selling my piano because I never play it anymore. This video inspired me to play it again!
Don't sell the piano! The things you play have to be fun.
Showing the keys pressed as well as your finger position separately in this way is very helpful 👍
Thanks for letting me know. I will continue then.
Loved this. Great vibe, clear execution, not too slow, thanks you're a pro!
Short. Sweet. Packed. This is a gem 💎
Those are two incredibly efficient chords. The C6 doubles an Am7, which are the two more common tonic-functioning chords, the D dim/F dim covers the two subdominant functions, and it also has primary and secondary dominant functionalities for the tonics in the form of B dim and G# dim resp. So while you technically just have two distinct pitch collections, they actually comprise a nearly complete set of functions for the key of C major and its sister key A minor.
Be back in 10 years after I can play this
Wwoooowwwww
Happy practicing indeed! You can bet I'll be working on this idea! Maybe on the guitar too!
late to the party but got a new sub from this. nice work.
Happy you found it useful.
Maaaaannnnn! Very nice, very handy explainer. I really appreciated this!
🎉🎉
I’ve been making music for about 45 years now, and obviously still learn new things from fellow musos from time to time, but, as you grow older, your experience and knowledge grows, so, less and less things are “new” to you, or really an “eye-opener”. This one was, for me bud.
It's a journey that continues for the rest of my life too, that's for sure! 🙏
Happy to hear, that even after 45 years there are still new things to learn!
To be a good pianist is a thing, to be a great teacher is a different thing. Y ou are both!
This is awesome, really comprehensive
This is pure gold !!! ❤
Thank you for your service.
when you effectively put music theory into practice
You got! That's the idea!!
Wow. I can surely use that. I knew the chords but not how to combine them as such. Thanks a bunch.
You're welcome!
Och piękny Panie...😂
amazing! I've been wanting to pick up playing the piano again and didn't even think lounge piano style was something I wanted to learn but here we are
Ha, ha! Amazing!! I'm happy for you. It's such a nice style to play in 👍
basically...top 5 lessons learned....ty
This is BRILLIANT
At first I thought you were playing a lot of different chords, but then the idea of inversion kicked in, and I realize it really is only two chords!
I always thought 6th chords were cheesy sounding, probably because of the way they were used as the stinger at the end of early sixties rock songs, so I've always stayed away from them. You made me hear them in a completely different way. Thanks so much.
wow what a tutorial ! it sounds so amazing.. I am going to try it..
me as a non-musician: says with only two chords ... starts using 80 different chords
Dense and smart instructional finesse. Thank you for this wonderful lesson!
I was visibly smiling throughout the entire video. Beautiful demonstration
That was really helpful! Now I have finally learned how to create this particula bar sound in a mist effective way. Thank you so much for this, you' ve got a friend.
Happy you found it helpful!
These tips are pretty amazing; thanks!😄👏
Actually really interesting and simple way to introduce bebop scales and their voicings. Definitely wasn't explained this simply when I was doing my bachelor!
lounge style piano cords. cool.
Fantastic share! Thank you for this lovely little nugget :) just what I was looking for in theory ;)
wow, outstanding !
I’m not too concerned about impressing anybody, but this is a cool tip. I appreciate it bro
Year.. you're right. Thought it was a funny title so I went with it.
Thanks for the great tip It helps break up practice session
You play so well
I love your vibe, please keep making tutorials :)
I will 😉
If you could do a series of lectures (videos demos) for early intermediate for late beginner, that would great. It does sound pretty good. Thank you.
Thanks for the suggestion. I will think about that.
Impressing ...thank u Sir 🎹🎶🎵🏁
Clear and precise delivery and an easily digesitble format.. more of these please!
I hear you. Thanks for the feedback! 🙂👍
Wow, amazing. So simple, beautiful, and deep. I am so eager to dive in.
Thank you ❤😊😂
I love how something so beautiful sounding comes from such a simple set of ideas

I love it! Thank you for the ideas!
You're welcome
Brilliant! Simple and brilliant!

This is an amazing tutorial. I'm gonna go to your bossa nova one next. Keep this up man
Glad it was helpful.

I love that I can play a tenth, so this is great for me. Awesome advice to just focus on 2 chords!
I will be open for more videos like these i will be waiting
Парень, ты молодец. Так просто всё объяснил!

Merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo! Wonderful
So cool!!
Liked & subscribed. Excellent, excellent tutorial. Bravo!
Thank you!

Thank you for such a clear tutorial. Liked and subscribed!❤
Lol, this is brilliant--reminds me of my "Minecraft Music"... Which is simply BSing with extended chords, suspensions, and dissonance that resolves back to your root key
Excellent lesson.
This is genius
Super sleek stuff mate....Really enjoyed... ! 🤓👍👍
Oro puro. Mas por favor !!!
I’m a beginner to piano and this amazes me and gives me something to work with in a really practical way. Awesome 🙂
