Adding side steps is something I didn’t expect before. The video gets crazier as it gets to the end. I don’t know what to say to express my thanks. You are so great jeremy!!!

@@JeremySiskind Thank you jeremy!!! I always try to play a modern solo on the traditional standard, such as replacing the original harmony with a 4th harmonic, I like the color of the outside! If possible, please talk about this topic! thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I'm away from learning for a few years now and promised myself that I wouldn't return until I'm ready to approach this more methodically, but, honestly, this is one of the ones that confused me a lot. I actually assumed locked hands 'were' the same as what Shearing did; I don't know why - just assumptions without investigating I suppose. I can see why you mention Bill Evans as typifying the style. This video has clarified so much; and given me a lot of ideas. Thank you! By the way, I'm really enjoying your channel. I know that different teaching styles appeal to different types of students, but, I don't know, I feel I could come back here often as I start to pick the keys up again.

Cool! I'm glad to hear it. Yeah, there is a an overlap between just "locked-hands comping" and playing Shearing or drop two voices. In both cases the hands are playing together. It's just a matter of how you organize it. I'm glad this helped!

Learning heaps from your videos, and book that I bought a month ago. Thank you!! One thing I try to do with this technique is to use notes in the right hand that are also played in the left hand chord - seems to reinforce the harmonics. Also, would you be open to doing a video on turns? Interested on your view of when to use semitone vs tone (or larger interval turns)

When you say 'a third below' or 'a fourth or fifth below' etc. are you varying the interval with respect to the scale/key you're currently playing in? As in, will the third below sometimes be a minor third, sometimes major etc. (I know that in the case of Red Garland's shout voicings, you keep it a perfect fourth below regardless)

What's your opinion on the B-7 to E7 in this tune? To me it makes no harmonic sense, the old recordings just do a biiio chord for that part which makes more sense to me
@JeremySiskind2 жыл бұрын
You're right. It's a strange progression. What it's doing there...I can't really say. I think it's one of those moments where the melody starts diatonic and the harmony just adds an extra splash of color?

Do you pedal when you do these voicings?
@JeremySiskind4 ай бұрын
You can use a little bit of pedal to connect what you can't possibly connect with your fingers, but make sure they are short pedals and don't blur the melody.

Excellent in dept video! Im thinking about buying your book "Playing Solo Jazz Piano", obviously its about solo piano, but does it incorporate some band or group sections aswell? I've mostly played solo piano, and I've developed some pretty good skills, but recently I've started to play in a band. I know of a lot of concepts to use, but im not as confident in utilising them, since I only really get to use them when playing with others, therefore making it hard to really dive into when im playing on my own. Overall im also just struggling with information overload when it comes to learning jazz. I have a great ear and musical intuition and know a lot of concepts, but there is just soooo much stuff out there, and its very hard for me to stay on track. I am good at picking concepts up, like I watched this video and was able to play around with what you showed. I have trouble deciding what to practice, and when I do practice I don't feel that im benefitting from doing static exercises, I always seem to just start improvising onto of the exercises and discarding my plan. So to sum up. How do you cope with this information overload that we as jazz musicians are presented with in an age of technology and possibilities? And does your book incorporate jazzpiano band/trio/group sections or something like that, or do you have any tips about that? Sorry for the long paragraph. It would mean a lot to me if you answer! Thank you. - Gustav

Hi there, Gustav! Thanks for your comment. "Playing Solo Jazz Piano" is truly just about solo piano. Of course, there's a lot of overlap between solo piano skills and band skills, but band skills are not addressed in that book. I'm about to announce that I now have a new book available called "Jazz Piano Fundamentals." It might be a bit basic for you, but I bet you'd still learn something. You can take a look here: jeremysiskind.com/product/jazz-piano-fundamentals-book-1/
