[@andrewwright6893]

What an amazing pianist. Absolutely superb playing. Cheers

[@dinosaursandi]

Those lessons are GOLD.

[@pds002]

Just beautiful and delivered with humility and giving. Thank you so much.

[@DrZepper]

his final rendition at the end is probably one of the best I've heard

[@cjauberty]

Great video. I loved it. Thanks.

[@MarxerBoardStyle]

His impro is astonishing. respect

[@user-ot1dv6ri4f]

This is actually really helpful

[@davidfryer9359]

I must thank you because that was brilliant. I learned I know nothing. But give me two weeks with this one Lesson and I will learn to know something. Thank you both. Tk knoe somethi g

[@MarcoZorziPiano]

Very good video, useful and clear!!

[@Zb_Calisthenic]

What a pleasure it must be to play like that.

[@gnihciew]

REALLY SUPER......LOVE THIS VID. very clear and easy to understand. Great showmanship too...!!

[@StrangerSpionas]

Extremely impressive playing and a very helpful video.

[@TookMe20min2findThis]

wow! That's a great solo!

[@midoship]

Insane! He threw in some Bach into his solo...

[@guitargod6997]

Bradley's playing is excellent in this video. I'm amazed at the 'trash talk' that some indulge in when commenting on others' performance. If you feel competent enough to comment negatively, perhaps you will offer your own performance.

[@pwncat]

I love watching your show when it comes on PBS. I think you and the guests you bring on to the show are so amazing! I wish I could play piano as good as y'all!

[@brianpetersen3429]

Beautiful... and helpful!

[@pianoinaflash]

Glad it helped!

[@wizardhyeong]

I really enjoyed the video and the interviewer was great at helping me understand.

[@yudipitre5720]

Simply beautiful 😍 love this piece. Trying to learn it as a beginner.

[@StefanLechnerMusic]

Really fantastic video! Thanks for this!

[@skymind4738]

I love the shooting set, really natural, really spontaneous

[@infamousgeese2143]

Great player and great video!!

[@pianoinaflash]

Thx!

[@etniko]

I freaking LOVE this scaling down 4:24

[@ralphm422]

Bravo !!! Always watching new videos to learn and listen to great advice awesome !!!! Thnxs

[@lyndonfenty6483]

This is one of the best ways of doing new songs have been looking for this exact thing for a long time will keep on watching it has helped my playing tremendously.

[@MsPareidolia]

His Left hand chord comping is unreal- he hardly moves his hands! Sweet inversions!

[@javalamaxi1]

Good to know.

[@philpinocha]

what an awesome song!

[@keenan1972]

great vid mate !

[@eivindbech2728]

Thanks for uploading this

[@dnvigerjr]

I think the walking bass left hand sounded good. Yes his timing is a bit square and could have more swing, but that is something you are born with. He has obviously worked hard at becoming a good player. It would be tough getting Bill Evans on since he tragically has passed.

[@LastOfSixMusic]

Excellent...!

[@Alextkirk]

Thank you guys!

[@claitontesch]

I love this tune

[@mareaumusic]

[@reckonimokie123]

excellent!

[@olds1978]

Wowwww awsome played....

[@hsmusic1]

F A N T A S T I C !!!!! 5 STAR !!

[@Solcius123123]

Delightful.

[@electricplugproductions2640]

I just realized the chord progression is exactly the same as Passacaglia by Handel! So hey, maybe jazz does take some hints from baroque music.

[@cyanmonky]

thats pretty funny actually

[@ThuyKobe]

Gotta love that baroque improv, anyone know any video that provide more info on how to turn a tune into baroque style ?

[@zakiahart3919]

Aww I like the piano guy: )

[@alessandrosantana3161]

It's great! I'm so glad to find a video like this. Thank you for the poust. 🇧🇷

[@lelaki88]

steve job?

[@michaelohalloran322]

Wow, wow, wow. Thanks Scott ... Scary thing is somehow you almost made it make sense to me....

[@chefmcnugget]

this vid is amazing though. i wish i could play like this guy :)

[@joselmed]

awesome tutorial! i am learning how to play this piece now, and this really helps. I really liked the explanation about walking the bass

[@pianoinaflash]

Glad it helped ... Have fun!

[@josesilva7202]

i love that piano lick,tararara!tiritiritiriri!tarararaa!tiritiritiri!tararaaaaaaaa!!!XD

[@hemantofkanpur]

Bradley,you were awesome...you should start your own channel and start giving paid/free lessons..I would love to learn this song from you ..especially the noodling part!!!pls do a 2 hour lesson on this piece :D

[@baileaf08]

thanks for this video :-)

[@jazzlover9]

His time is all over the shop!!

[@bundooboas4641]

Thank you so much I am doing it acceptably. Hands don't work so well,I'm 80!

[@jennywears9845]

You are not!

[@flcn92]

I think Vince Guaraldi's slow, moody version of this song from his Essential Standards album will always be my favorite.

[@getemnate1]

I don't understand the criticism, what makes this rendition bad? Sounds great to me!

[@GennaroRuffolo]

very good

[@sarwaadji]

just wonderful, saya suka luar biasa

[@HMayoralModestti]

Invention no. 13 in A minor. One of my favorites!

[@nicolasegre4071]

Great solo! Just for the record : "Autumns Leaves" ("Feuilles d'automne") ares lyrics written by Jacques Prévert, a great 20th French poet.

[@Superphilipp]

"I think it might have some french roots. I read on a leadsheet somewhere, where it said 'les foilles morts'." That's some impressive research, guys.

[@robderon]

Superphilipp being the most powerful state of the world has its counterparts..

[@06Veena]

I liked it.

[@lbmusictchr]

At 3:58 "Hey Brad, do it kinda slowly." Brad lets rip! LOL Whoa!

[@kwakuappiah5691]

I love this video

[@mingyili1426]

Nice!!!!

[@andersmac1]

Great stuff. For a classic bit of Bach 'jazz' using exactly the same chord progression, check out the gavotte from his third lute suite BWV 995.

[@LeavesLullaby]

The melody gives you some kind of basis. It is the melody which wil be recognized. That's the main tune. Almost all of time the player will begin and end with the melody, players will add some notes and change the rythm but the main melody will almost always be recognized. The part in between the beginning and ending can be full improvisation... The melody gives the player and listner something to hold on too.

[@slacker697]

10:55 if autumn leaves and well tempered klavier had a love child

[@popstoastymonkey]

Scott, could you PLEASE re-post the segment from episode 907 where Bradley Sowash walks through Heart and Soul!!!!

[@admentlore]

Does he have a baroque version of this song we can watch or listen to? It was nice.

[@Jazz4Lifetime]

Interesting basic hints. Perfectly performed by Eugen Cicero (also see his version of "Sunny", strongly recommended!) - Although a lot to learn if you're not Eugen Cicero! - I really like the "Secrets".

[@baoutch]

Seeing Johnny Depp teaching piano to Steve Jobs is always a blast. Thanks.

[@startreker8591]

i missed a big chance to put my brain into it..so I just settle for admiration and or sing my way in an easy way..or not..am a fan of PBS and the PianoGuy(KQED) and friends since its inception(:

[@nesschallis1909]

Truly great to hear this guy play - but what a shame that this solo was not broken down and explained in much more detail. This would have at least given us mere mortals who walk this earth a better chance of understanding on how this was constructed and so therefore achieved.

[@pianoinaflash]

+Ness Challis Point well taken... We always battle the ticking clock of getting in as much as we can in our 30 minute episodes of the TV series. It's not like a lot of my "just for KZbin or my blog" vids where I have no time constraints. In the Piano Guy PBS series (which this came from) we obviously had a hard wall we came up against in every episode.

[@gianlucapaul]

+Ness Challis I'm guilty of not doing enough of this myself, but the best way to learn is to transcribe it. There are programs out there that help you slow recordings down at pitch to help out in fast passages. Maybe I should be transcribing right now. Well played my own sense of hypocrisy. Well played.

[@朱镝中]

Precious teaching, thanks for sharing.

[@MarkSomosoMusic]

his the best

[@jazzstandardman]

This sounded decent to me. Think about it. When is the last time you've seen a truly talented, reputable teacher or performer get on KZbin and post criticisms of other musicians? None that I know of. The next person who wants to complain about this little lesson, here's a challenge. Please direct us to your website or videos of your performances and tutorials.

[@thekeymasta]

Wow...I didn't discover any secrets from any pros with this video...

[@gtberg]

He sounds like one of the Nordstrom piano players.

[@Joey-pd1qc]

Simply wow, amazing lessons !

[@danthecomposer]

I'd like to add my support to your response.

[@king1874]

gread!

[@adrianrivas3542]

Me gustaría explicaras el arreglo de Roger Williams. Please

[@dnvigerjr]

For every player ther is a slightly different voice and style. Give credit where credit is due. You can't please everybody. This is for the general public!

[@mikakrstic]

Are you a professor of jazz piano, have a masters in bebop, wrote books or gig and record with top jazz musicians in the world such as peter erskine, john clayton etc? do you know what means plying wrong G-7 never written by the author over D7? Just curious since I do : )

[@calebwilson7086]

What scales can i use to solo over this??

[@pianoinaflash]

Assuming you are playing it in the key Bradley is playing it in this video, you can pretty safely play from a Gmin scale through almost the whole tune. Those notes are G-A-Bb-C-D-Eb-F-G. Have fun!

[@SobeKaraoke]

Steve Jobs is the man

[@steveheald9504]

am I assuming when the piano "rings/sustains' he has the sustain pedal on? and then off constantly??

[@pianoinaflash]

+Steve Heald That's correct!

[@GianMusic94]

Orlando Bloom and Steve Jobs!?

[@joshlester4659]

I wish that someone would break down the Roger Williams version for me.

[@popoqwer]

What was the name of the Bach lick @ 10.40 ?

[@macdaddyblack101]

13:50 for the solo :)

[@mmenaker]

Great video! I kept waiting to hear a reference or some credit given to Oscar Peterson.....

[@lionorlamb]

MORE ACTION, PLEASE...

[@number1lettera]

well he isn't exactly playing it wrong as much as playing it differently. you can still recognize the song and thats enough for the listener. if you ever listen to herbie hancock play you can tell alot of his performances of songs change up the melody, especialy when he plays wayne shorter tunes.

[@BuckshotLaFunke1]

pianoguytv, is your grand piano a Bösendorfer?

[@nosliwed]

An excellent tutorial although less conversation and more hands on action preferred

[@resultant64]

Nice information but.. one point to be clarified that the chords do not move in the cycle of 4ths of 5ths... and the A natural is not some 'cheating'.. These are diatonic seventh chords moving a fourth up... Bach did this in his time.....

[@mikakrstic]

Also...by the "listener" you mean yourself, right? I am a listener too so, for me this is way below "enough" as you said. Now, is "enough" meaning "good enough" or "not good enough"? There are other people, you know, that prefer "good" over "bad" melody/solo : ) I only prefer "great" over anything else. "great" is Miles, Kelly, Jamal, Dizzy etc. They all play the melody/solo "great" : )

[@LeavesLullaby]

Sorry that I wasn't clear. Well, in the end we don't know if somebody knows what he is doing. Only if you ask the player you will know. If someone is playing this big ass solo line he can play around chordtones etc. or he can just play the notes that come up in his mind... or just hit random notes... we just don't know for sure without interviewing the person.

[@mariaayala5694]

HEYYY SIRS, I HAVE TO PLAY THIS SONG, LEARN HOW TO DO IT BUT IN SPANISH
