[@brothercaleb]

9:13 that’s straight-up bebop. Swings well, rhythm’s on point, the lines are tremendously effective. Love it 🥰 😍

Thanks, Caleb!

Thanks for providing great tips in such a simple manner. Only true masters can do this.

[@JeremySiskind]

That’s so kind! Thank you!

[@alp9020]

Nice !

[@kodokunatamashi5987]

This helped me so much with the drone improvisations you have us do. Thank you!

[@JeremySiskind]

Awesome! I’m happy to hear it helped!!!

[@clno.13pawenuch74]

Thank you for the superb lesson

[@JeremySiskind]

My pleasure!

[@ili626]

Nice! I’ve been thinking about this lately ..each time playing bebop, and watching my fingers. Curious about your book now.. heading to your website..

[@JeremySiskind]

Fingering is a very interesting subject! Glad you’re digging in!

[@ili626]

@@JeremySiskind Yeah.. I have more experience with guitar, for which fingerings come automatically or quite quickly at least, so it’s been interesting to examine how i negotiate piano fingerings and develop this intuition.

Thanx, Maestro 🌹🌹🌹🔥

Can you give an example of a lick repeating across a 2 5 1 over a whole tone scale .. that would help with fingering and different tonal centres Great lesson 👌

[@JeremySiskind]

Hmmmm, a whole tone scale doesn’t fit with a ii V I progression down it won’t quite work. I like dividing whole tone scales into augmented triads like G-B-D# / F A C# / G B D# / A C# F etc

[@O3177O]

@@JeremySiskind thank for getting back! I suppose I mean a 251 in C then 251 in Bb 251 Ab , Gb ,E,D So lick connects from C tonal centre to Bb tonal centre.... With Cm7 as the 2 of Bb I can do the chord progressions for practice but not real lick or sentence to practice That probably all clear as mud Great tutorial btw will have get ur book too

[@martinschneider2971]

Jeremy, I have watched many of your videos and they are absolutely great. However, the volume is very muted so I find it hard to follow. Could you please make your videos louder? Best Martin

[@JeremySiskind]

I’ll look into it. Thanks, Martin!

@@JeremySiskind I think a mic would be very helpful!
