How to play jazz piano Videos

I want to learn about jazz, not you.

I was wondering if the song that you had played was an original, or if it has been published as music.... If it is published, could you tell me where to get ahold of it? :) Thanks! 

that was beautiful! me im learning to compose for my short films and make a good music that will inspire other to start making music :D

That wasn't a lesson at all... In all honesty, it was a complete waste of time. You explained nothing, talked about your personal philosophy for 85% of video and then spent the remaining 15% just crushing it on the keys - which as a BEGINNER, is also, useless. You're a bad teacher.

My classical piano lesson were just as you described. I NEVER felt free. I never felt a freedom to enjoy it. My piano teacher didn't teach me in a way that allowed me to feel the type of freedom you can hear jazz musicians enjoying. I'm hoping that I can use your jazz lessons as a therapy, a way to enjoy playing again, and playing for MYSELF, playing music that I WANT TO PLAY that makes me happy. Right now I'm afraid of my piano and have been looking for help to get back into it.

This is by far the best jazz piano tutorial on youtube and internet as well. I'm a piano tutorial hunter, this guy is hidden. It should be the first "jazz lessons" result. He is unique, his lessons are simple to do but within resides extremely complexity. This is absolutely the best place to start learning jazz piano by far. I would love to find this tutorial at my beginnings. If you are a beginner, forget what you know, and listen to this guy. This is definitively the way you was looking for. Simply amazing.

am now playing blues. thanks!

Best video I've ever seen.

Wow.. What a hidden gem... This is the best blues basic explanation.. Ty so much.. Please consider making a series on piano blues/jazz

is there a clever way of remember which keys are in which scale?

Very modal sound when you play like that... Minor dominant sounds a bit like a sort of a modal jazz thing, but in that case I would avoid the blues scale. Sounds like a fusion between a blues and Take 5 in 4/4 hahahaha. I'm not hating, btw, just stating my opinion.

This isnt jazz, this is blues

I can't keep the same rythm with the left hand when I start playing solos with the right one... what can I do ??

best blues short lesson ever, thankyou dude!

I haven't played Piano in over 10 years! Just ordered a Yamaha P115 for Christmas and can't wait to check more of these videos out when it arrives. Very cool primer, and well explained.

when is it okay to go outside the traditional Am melodic scale like you did here?

Does anybody know any decent keyboard that (somewhat) faithfully replicates the sound of a real piano? All I have this sh***y old Yamaha Keyboard in which the piano setting sounds terrible.

when u say learn it in all 12 keys, did you mean all keys of the scale in A minor?

these videos are gold, thanks!

just wondering what scales you would recommend over the major and minor scales as I love the improvising 

Nice one Bill! This video is exactly what I was looking for: very clear and concise. Also, I very much dig your accent and tea drinking habits! Subscribed!

Is that... You? Daniel Radcliffe?

What piano do you use in the video

Why cant this just be as easy as sight reading.. aaaarrrggghh... There are sooo many notes I can hardly keep up. And I very well understand the need to study the details... but I just find myself falling asleep or losing concentration every single time I start getting any help with it. Gee... Awesome tutorial though man. So question, jazz Runs, fills, tricks.. how does one deliver?...

My only question is: What scale do you use to improvise in this progression?

give us some sheet music of jazz instead chords ;)

Jazz is my top 1 genre to play Thanks for the sweet tutorial !
