I am really very grateful to you teacher

thank you very very much, grand master

You are my teacher....Thanks

thank you very much master

Ruslan, I love the way you explain improvisation. Have you any books on this subject! If so where can I get them from? Thank you for passing on your knowledge. Please keep making these videos not only are you a fantastic piano but a great teacher. So once again thank so very much. Terry.

The second example sounds so much Emerson Lake & Palmer to me

Been a while for me....but you helped me so much....still teaching??

Damn i came back to this video 4 years later realizing I haven’t learned crap in the meantime 😂

I admit that now I really improvise. Thank you.

Mesmerizing!

Im kinda both. Beginner but also not. I played a few years when i was 10 till 13 i think. I started again a few months ago. Im now 25. i know the notes and i can read pretty much every sheet. But i struggled so much with the metronome! Bc i never played with one but i also get carried away with the tempo bc i start playing the way i feel it sounds to me emotionally. that video REALLY helped me to find a way where it doesn’t stress me out to learn with the metronome but also keep better count on myself! Thanks a lot really great video and very well explained!

Thank U! Can you write the name of music in the end of vídeo approximately minut 4:45 ??

Some of the proper fingering you use when performing all of these iterations would be immensely helpful lol.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

so inspiring,thanks for sharing

Time stamp: 30.54 Complexity is the enemy of execution (Anthony Robbins). Great Quote!

Thank you so much sir 🙏❤❤❤❤❤

Sir you are great 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Please get rid of that annoying note in the back of your video! 20 minutes of the same note is like Chinese water torture

Its amazing how you make something that could be complex so simply. You sure have clearness of mind to explain things a simple way. Thanks Vin

In short, brillant lesson, thanks for sharing. Its like you knew what you had to be doing over the chord changes with the notes of the chord, but this video just clears it all up about what specifically needs to be done, it validates years of thought. Plus, when you see someone flying over an improvisational line, you don't always appreciate all the hard work, preparation and analysis they have put in to understanding the piece before they go and improv over it. Thanks again. Appreciated and GREAT. Vince

exactly brother! 👍🏼

This series is what my improvs needed. You'er one of a very few who talk about this. Thank you so much.

Your app is only on iphone

impecable

When you say “solo over”, what exactly does that mean? Is it just using the notes of the scale, but always coming back to the root or 3rd or 5th, etc? How do you pick the rhythm?

One thing I noticed when I pratice motivic developement is that we feel more aware of what we're playing. And then this makes improvising even more fun.

really beatifull, I had to cheat, because iam not skilled enough to figure out in real time, but when slowed down, i could see, only minor chords(11 and 13) in the circle of fifts hole tone movements, and a beatiful voiceleading..i tryid it myself, in slow pace, and now it works....I love the sound, because its something in between neo-soul, jazz, and the sound in some of keiths music, where you have no clue, what he is doing even though the sound is so familiar....thanks..Mikael

Is there a similar rule for minor chords?

Hello, thank you for these videos on chord changes, they really are useful! Although, I'm a bit confused about some things so I have a few questions. On one chord, let's say Gm, how do you choose among dorian, aeolian, minor melodic or harmonic? or if Gmaj7 how do you choose if ionian or lydian? Then what confuse me more is how to apply that to a sequence of chords that all belong to the same scale. For exemple, the four first bars of Autumn leaves (Cm F7 Bbmaj7 EbMaj7) all belong to Bb major scale right ? So here all the tones of Bb ionian are common tones between those chords? The same apply to many standards in which there are differents sequences of chords belonging to a same scale. How would you apply the exercices you propose to these situations ? I hope my question is clear. Thank you again

Thanks for your videos ! I have a question. In your first video, you say to developp only one idea,( only one motif with variations ) during a long time . I have understood during the wlhole solo. May be I didn't understand. English is not my language. In this video, and the precedent you are developping several motif . Is it only for pratice ? Or is it what you recommand ? Thank you !

Hello Ruslan, thank you for producing this series. Really excellent, I am just starting to implement these techniques but even with just basic lines and disciplined counting makes my improv sound much more meaningful. Like most good ideas, they are quite simple! Best wishes, Phil

This works, folks! Partially as a joke last year, i learned "Baby Shark" and applied it to SO MANY tunes and solos. It surprised me and got everyones attention. Even got tipped. 🤦🏻🤣 THIS IS A MICRO MASTERCLASS!! #ineedtoplayinsidemore

Went to the link; didn't find the free PDF . . . .

This series is great! As many beginners/hobbists, I tend to practice what to play (scales, arpeggios, target notes etc.) but forget to practice where and how to play which is so important. By listening to your examples the concepts that you are explaining are instantly clear, I love it!

Always such a great teacher! 👍

What I learned from this short little snippet is that any strong melody will sound good over any power chord.

People say my outside notes are "angry." I'm a nice person. I am not angry.

Great stuff thank you! A question: When in your musical journey have you first realized that you can play by ear in real time? That if you wanted you could instantly repeat any melody you hear. And another question: How clearly would you say you imagine the lines you don't play (when doing this exercise)? Thanks!

I've heard Mehldau describe it in a similar way as well. I still find myself needing more time on the inside the changes part, but will on occasion dip outside if the moment seems right. Good video!

Glad to see you are back 😀

Great stuff, Ruslan - as usual. Than you for being so generous.

i want more about outside improvisation

I think it all happened when we all heard what John Coltrane said. And then we thought, I've got to know what this is all about! Me personally, I'm still trying to play inside the changes.

Best teacher on yt

Thank you after many years wellcome

Welcome back sir. I really missed your lessons.

Made sense. But truth is LEARN TO PLAY INSIDE REALLY WELL FIRST. ✨🙂👍🏼💫

Dear Brother, i see that you are no more making video's anymore.Hope you are doing well.
