I think that ornament is a mordant or a turn, isn't it? What's it called in German, by the way?

[@ChristianFuchsBlues]

It's called Mordent. :-)

[@rickrocketts183]

I’ve played your arrangement of Autumn Leaves (same progression obviously) many times and now totally get how you came up with that sound and embellishments for your solo section. Thanks!

[@ChristianFuchsBlues]

You're the ideal student! Others should follow your example.

[@rickrocketts183]

@@ChristianFuchsBlues Thank you for your kind words! I very much appreciate that.

Very nice Christian

[@DidierGuillion]

Wow ! This sounds very nice and easy. I can't stop playing with this ! Thanks Christian.

[@CherryChauParis]

Waow! Absolutely amazingly beautiful and you made it so simple! Your explanation crystal clear! Really loved it! It gives me hope! Thank you so very much!

[@fitwithandy]

Sweet! 😊

[@liambonar]

This is brilliant! But stop making me laugh, easy listening is serious stuff! 😂

[@Yeti136]

Love your content! You are a beacon of hope for all struggling pianists. By the way, I think the embellishment in question is called a „Doppelschlag“ in german (and was not invented by Keith Jarrett)😁

[@ChristianFuchsBlues]

Thank you! Doppelschlag, that's right, Must check if there is a patent registered on that....

[@rogiervk1]

I like this very much!!

[@medeliworld]

Do you plan to upgrade your old tutorials with green piano assistance? I would like to learn the blues ballad from your tutorial five years ago whuch doesn't have the green piano indicator.

Thank you,Chris. Alles Gute von Wuppertal,(by way of Oakland,California).🌹🌹⭐🌹🌹

I love this channel too, Brenda!

You can NOT just like that call somebody else your GURU in front of my breaking heart!! We artists are sensitive personalities. Now it's a therapy session, again. 🥲

It sounds really good Christian, 😊😊😊 it reminds me a bit of 🎸Still got the blues, solo, (Gary Moore)🎸

[@ChristianFuchsBlues]

Well spotted! ( did a tutorial on that one, too! ) .

[@Letstidytogether]

Christian I am absolutely infatuated with your videos. I want to learn cocktail piano by playing from lead sheets. Where should I start? I did download a couple bar piano pdfs but couldn’t find all the volumes, do you have a course?

[@ChristianFuchsBlues]

Great you like it here! I tried to put things in an order in this course: (Sheets are always linked under the video) kzbin.info/aero/PLLSuwesi2CZLj36d44GBdEbEeUhGDoP7-

[@dougnickerson]

Ah , if all elegance could be so effortless

[@j.l.hennig4339]

Thank you Christian, I've been interested in this kind of style for some time and your explanations are really helpful. There is one problem though. I can't play those wide-spread chords because my hands are too slim, I can barely reach a ninth but not a tenth. For instance on the Am7, putting the 5th finger on A and the 2nd on the G above is already stressful, reaching the C with my thumb is simply impossible. Same for the Gmaj and F#dim. What would be the best solution, to play a different inversion, to leave out the highest or lowest note or maybe to hit the lowest note first and then jump up and play the remaining notes?

[@ChristianFuchsBlues]

In general, you would prefer to drop the middle voice. The highest for the left hand. Or the lowest in the right hand.

[@j.l.hennig4339]

That makes sense, thanks a lot!@@ChristianFuchsBlues

[@tinkertoyskeptic1454]

Thanks!

[@danilo8990]

Bellissimo

[@dougnickerson]

Under the umbrella of finicky : I played at a gig at a golf club reception - people stood with drinks in hand and ignored us ; an hour in a lady notices the music, turns to the band : "ssshhh," she intones - well made an impression I figured 😀

[@ChristianFuchsBlues]

Yep, playing functions isn't always the big breakthrough.. :-)

[@axsup7g140]

This figuration around 'c' seems to be s̵t̵o̵l̵e̵n̵ borrowed from Keith Jarrett's Koeln Concert... ^^

[@ChristianFuchsBlues]

Nope, this line is such a standard melodic cliché, it was used a million times since the Gregorian Chants in the Middle Ages..It's almost like saying: "Oh, you played an Octave, you STOLE that from Bach!" ;-)

[@LaurensVRC]

@@ChristianFuchsBlues Oh yeah, Bach... that famous cocktail harpsichord bar player from back in the day. I once heard he stole some embellishments from Couperin and Albinoni. They made him write the goldberg variations... 10 times. Backwards! With crossed arms. And toes.
