We cannot appreciate you enough for your good outpouring of such level of sacrifice.God bless you. Can you please do a lesson on gospel tritone movements sir?

I'm glad he emphasized the importance of tension throughout the video. Something I wish I had more personal control over.

You know everything about music theory, its amazing, congrats! Everywhere, including my ex teacher, they teach us about the 3 minor scales, I'd like to know why do you overlook the natural minor scale, why do you tell us nothing about it? Greetings from Brazil.

I crashed on this exercise, 13 new scales... it will take 100 years to learn to play them... I don't think I can ever do that...

But this scales modes How help my piano skills How to apply this in every song ?

How do you warm up

I played the piano sins I was 9. I’m 14 now and I had no lessons. I just freestyles and sometimes I played songs but I never really knew how to jazz. This helped me out so much ❤

I was teary-eyed by how much you made me realize I love music wholeheartedly and deeply. I don’t care how long it takes to learn, may it be present with me for the rest of my life. I'm not scared to try anymore. thank you, professor.

Simply the best teacher ❤

Really appreciate this thanks!!

Your lessons are absolutely amazing thank you 🙏.

Do you have any lessons on how and what you can do with your left hand? Like how to know which chords that goes with?

I went on a scavenger hunt to understand how to change between scales and this video explained sooo well now I understand you use the different modes and major and minor etc. thank you so much!!❤

Could you please teach me the technique of writing chords from simple to difficult for a melody? Can you make a new video about this? pls

Sou do Brasil. Queria muito agradecer a você. Pois meu sonho era tocar um pouco de jazz e blues mas nunca achei um vídeo que me explicasse de forma clara quais os segredos. Muito obrigado mesmo.

Day by day i just aprofite all the advance tecnics you use to teach in a well done ….asome

Fantastic work ❤…peace

Teşekkürler.

That left hand stretch from G to Bb is almost too wide and I have big hands with long fingers.

Wow ❤

What a great lesson!! really impressive and how it helps. And about your imprerfections, I would like to have them all!! Subscribed. Good job!!

Hallo, just a question. How would you consider the phrygian mode, the third one, a minor or major ? I mean theoretically it is a minor, but to me it sounds more like a major, especially if you don’t play the third, it seems a sus chord, a chord with the 3rd augmented but the sound is of a major, isn’t it ?

I do it the other way also. Not descending but arising the two lower, then arising the two upper and you get it the other way around

7 families. Most of them have seven Tones. It's a 12-Tone-System. All in one you have 33 scales. Music. Is. Sacred.

wait may i ask what is "natural step" ?

many thanksss to Oliver for his provocative ideas!! classical players will not agree.lol. when listening out of chords changes solos THEY MAGICALLY WORKS!! its a hard task but its important PRACTICE. ciao from ITALY!!

Hi, may I ask the metronome model you use? Thank you!

Wow ❤fantastic.your art is healing and revealing. Thank you so much,Peace…

Is there a Rule about the Fingering on Scales.? Where to begin with the Thumb? anyone knows?

A common scale I find is H WH H W H WH H, though there are 2 half steps side by side if we change the order. I don’t know the name of the scale but it’s used to make stereotypical egyptian-like music usually i think?

You sound apologetic about the frequency of your postings. Please continue as you are, I really appreciate you taking the extra time to produce these very well constructed videos. Please don't be tempted to make more frequent posts. It's obvious that you spend a lot of time putting each video together. The thing that characterises your videos is that you take the time to introduce each new concept, so that we can hear the specific qualities of each thing you introduce. This is great for ear training. After years of hearing specific tonal qualities in recordings and wondering what on earth the artists were doing, I now find I can recognise which scales are used over which chords. I never got this from other channels' tutorials. Keep up the great work.

How I can follow your lessons from the beginning in an logical orden?

What a great and pleasant video to watch, thank you!

this video is just amazing, every year I just keep coming back to it

can this apply to guitar?

I just can get why you can use a G major triad over a Ami7b5 if theres no B on the scale of G minor nor in the half diminished chord too

We can do it,for music❤

I love it!!! Thank you Oliver!!! From Detroit!!!

Oliver is the best!!!

Very helpful, and extremely well done presentation. Great insights and explanation, applicable to all forms of music, not just jazz. Thanks!

but what about others scales like pentatonic scales or others. I WANT MORE !!! MOOOOOOORE !!!!! thx <3

love your work!!

Can i use the handgrip even if the chord progresses to a new type of chord eg A minor, or I'd need a new handgrip

Hei Oliver, hope you're doing fine. Let me tell you something. You know what? You gave me the key to the world of Music. This is only puzzle that I have been constantly working on to figure out. Your lesson matches with my own idea. Thanks a million for your kind effort to teach music the most thrilling way!

Señor Oliver, lo considero además de un gran músico, una de las personas mas didácticas que he conocido, muy buen trabajo el suyo, gracias

Very good knowledge for exercise for fingers.

Takk!

What software did you use to make the video? (the annotation and such?) I can't believe this video is 6 years old and are still crisp, clear, and has a wealth of value. I'd say the only thing missing might be the timestamp, but it's so easy follow, even easier than more well-edited video today. 🙏. So thankful to have people like you on the internet.

A lifetime worth of being bemused by Jazz music,solved by Oliver Friend in a matter of 30 mins...THANK YOU Mr. Prehn
