This is GOLD, as a guitar player, those lessons are helping me to break through the guitarristic way of seeing music

[@NewJazz]

For some reason pianists explain theory in a much clearer way than guitarists.

[@TimothyJohnsonBey]

This man deserves an award!

[@AtomizedSound]

The voice alone is worth it, it’s like I’m watching a PBS documentary on jazz music theory. Bravo!

[@yaoguangtang1759]

The best jazz scale lesson in KZbin.

[@IN2music2]

This professor is an unbelievable instructor!!! Thank you for all your teachings.

[@skimanization]

These modes are the most neglected in the study of jazz improvisation because they are minor and difficult to understand. Most musicians are just familiar with the Major scale modes which seem to be easier. I have studied modes but none ever explained them to me as you do. Here I've encountered the best explanation that makes sense. Thanks.

[@justinwilliams3201]

This Guy is probably the greatest jazz pianist i have ever found on KZbin, there's great piano teachers , but he's the greatest Jazz Piano here. Thank you for such an amazing Lesson Oliver.

[@MatteoVicino]

[@DocTheopolis]

Sir! I concur with the others praising this (your) tutorial. Your understanding of music, jazz, theory, etc. and the ability to make it easy to absorb by others with a lesser understanding is: (in a word) awesome!!! Thanks. Moving on to some of your other lessons.

[@VTG71]

You are THE BEST music teacher I’ve ever seen before. Thanks for your great lessons!!!

[@ninoseoane3883]

El jazz es ahora más atractivo para mi, resulta más fácil aprender con tus clases, y los gráficos utilizados una excelente idea para enseñar y por lo tanto para no perderse en la explicación, gracias.

[@TheJonathanlewis1000]

Just love this guy - he nails intermediate/ semi advanced theory in a single episode. Just so well presented. You could literally do a gig on these scales and sound superb! Thanks so much.

[@manuelcaceres8592]

In less than 24 hours I was anxious to get my second lesson from Oliver. Really like very much the lesson Melodic Minor Modes. I have been playing piano for a long time but with this lesson I got a new dimension of whay is going on on Jazz improvisation. I am a physsicist so I am not have plenty of time to enjoy your lessons, but I will try regularly, and as soon as I can I will colaborate with your economical support. Thank a lot from Argentina. Manuel

[@theonlyone5788]

*I have been watching your videos. They are amazing. What a perfect way to explain the music you have! Thank you so much for all these videos!* You are a blessing.

[@JuanZagorodny]

The best of YT, the best lesson ever. Oliver your lessons are excelent! So clear and, importantly, you have invented a slow english style that allows all non-native english speakers to understand everything. This makes your lessons really universal. And of course your pedagogic insight comes from a very high knowledge of music. I've never been taught that there were so handy rules to easily mix notes from different scales, If I'd had known this from kid ... !! I'm so grateful to you for your efforts! Keep doing good!

[@NewJazz]

THANKS A LOT :) :) :)

[@thepianokid27]

The best video I’ve seen thus far in regards to scales of the melodic minor! Very well illustrated as well. Thank you!

[@agy04022761]

Thanx for relaxed teaching. Always helps me with my guitar skills. Solves problems with a faster understanding because of the the visual advantage of the keyboard.

[@johnfloyd8669]

Thank you very much, great master! Amazing, incredible, superb! I knew about the modes of the melodic minor scale, but so far I had only been using the melodic minor, the overtone and the superlocrian.You have expanded the horizons of my mind!!!

[@edrock26]

This is some "deep" information! Thank you!

[@PIANOSTYLE100]

When I listen to this..it helps me to listen and research..I do understand most to a degree.

[@amitthakkar2303]

Oliver Sir...! what a great artist and teacher you are..... Thank u so much for these lessons..

[@francescomanfredi]

Unbelievable Oliver, this is what I was waiting for and much more! I would also add that the reason why the altered scale works so well on the V alt chord is that it comes from the triton substitution: G altered scale has the same note of Db lydian b7 scale. The other reason why it sounds so good is that it contains all the possible tensions of the dominant chord

[@NewJazz]

Thanks a lot Francesco :) :) Yes the altered scale and the Lydian dominant are place direct opposite on the circle (a tritone interval). So "G alt" contains the same keys as "Db Lydian b7". And correct, the altered scale has so many altered notes and therefore it has a lot of tension - a truly dominant chord!

[@roeyy12benjamin85]

Best thing ever!!! Really cool!

[@debralynnpaxton5238]

Spectacular!

[@art-oq1pi]

[@koteynikoi-kotei9301]

Awesome Oliver! I never thought I'd understand this theory and how it's used. But thanks to you i'm beginning to see the light..... a little bit!

[@NewJazz]

I have just uploaded this video about a simple tool to look up all the melodic minor modes: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6mmc6Bjobppgsk This tool can also help with the understanding of the very nature of these modes and how they are related. Maybe the video will help you ahead on the road ;) Best regards Oliver

[@politereminder6284]

WOW! Awesome video!
