[@yoannlardent9787]

"Sing the hard stuff" Loved it, all the way, such enthusiasm and sheer competences ! Keep it up Aimee this is brilliant and so much value. Tanks for sharing.

[@karenstephens2047]

Aimee, this is the best jazz piano tutorial I have ever seen. I’m so WITH you on the excitement level . I love this song xxxx

[@eternalrainbow-cj3iu]

Your lessons are far more social to the beginner, jazz improvisers, piano players-students!!!! Great Compliment for you!!!

[@Taymour77]

Ive been learning from this over 60 times. THANK YOU

[@Al_W_On_The_Trackz]

Hi Aimee! I love this video. 😊

[@Al_W_On_The_Trackz]

How much are your lessons? I need a teacher who thinks and teaches the way that you do. It's like you're teaching technique, theory and how to create my own signature style in one lesson. For some reason, I seem to learn better that way. One of my goals for this year is to break free from this curse of procrastination and learn how to play piano/keyboard and learn at least one song from start to finish.

[@AimeeNolte]

I don’t teach lessons, I just make videos. But I do have a course about how to start to improvise on the streaming service Nebula. Add a brand new class will drop next month it takes you from the very beginning of chords to being able to read a lead sheet no matter what chords or are on it. Just do a Google search for my name and the word nebula, and it will take you to my Nebula page where you can sign up with a discount.

[@emikillua]

Thanks Aimee, play over the turnaround always was a difficult thing for me.. but you gave the best advices :) you are a genious, a hug from argentina.

[@alanmarshall8850]

Keenly insightful harmonies and chord progressions that have a beautiful dissonant sound. I love your teaching style... AWESOME...! Especially the Footprints piece...

[@SheffieldMarkE]

Great lesson - not a pianist any more, but this helps me connect the dots on the guitar

[@terrancejames9106]

Enjoyed this lesson🙏

[@WOHEI62X]

This sounds amazing, not to forget your way of articulation and stressed tones. But unfortunately I´m only a Beginner in Jazz Piano, and so I´ve to press the pause button a mill of times. It would be fantastic if there could be some rests/pauses after this wonderful phrases played by you, so that I´d be able to repeat them. (I need some time to rethink what you´ve said because I´m not an english native speaker.)

[@Markstun]

Extremely cool thanks very much!

[@georgewarren86]

Really helpful video 👍🏽👍🏽

[@bitter1081]

That was an amazing impro

[@jeromeking6001]

By the way, thanks. 🙏

[@VictorWerke]

Great!

[@eternalrainbow-cj3iu]

Anyway, I like your way of playing superimposition!

[@virginiapecoraro8935]

Great as usual..going in c#m f# over cm Is like we substitute C7 ( dominant of fm7) with his tritone F#7 right?

[@BTFearr]

I know Wayne. The bridge is F#mi9 dim/F13#11/E9b5/A7#9b13

[@Mauro-bh6bt]

Hi Aimee, I'm a guitarist but I follow you as your instructioinal video are so helpful. I have a question: how can apply WH subst on Footprints at fast tempo (as I need with my band). Which tricks do you suggest?

[@kingusmcgee]

Multi-tasking...I'm catching only little pieces here and there. We're all at different levels. I'd like to see you play a very simple tune, ie, nursery rhyme a la Mary Had A Little Lamb using some walking bass. You previously mentioned the Mark Levine Jazz Piano Book of which I have. I should dig into it.

[@eternalrainbow-cj3iu]

Hereby I suggest to play: c-eb-f super cell + F#-a-b- over cm7 and than do the same in Fm and back to cm makes you realy ready for the F#m7b5 so 6 tones of octatonic...

[@elenacontumbao]

Hi Aimee, thanks for your great channel and personality. Could you sometime talk about female jazz artists ? Sounds a bit weird but for me as a female pianist it would be inspiring to get to know more jazz pianists/other instrumentalists who are women. Sometimes it's easier to get into the role of someone while playing (if you are listening to some jazz musician a lot and adapting his/her style you might take a little bit from his/her personality as well, especially before your own "unique style" starts to develop more strongly). It feels that often the "most famous jazz players" are men or maybe we just haven't found how many awesome talents there are out there. Of course I know Esperanza (and actually now I remember that she played one gig with other talented drummer and pianist who were women), all those great singers and pianists like Nina Simone or Alice Coltrane... what about the younger generation? This is not hate agains men (I love so many men musicians out there, H.H. one of my favorites as a musician and a person), I just think it's an interesting topic, how much people actually talk about some female jazz artists (instrumentalists) to check out? And who could talk about it better than you? Or did you already make a video on that? How do you find it to be a female jazz musician? There shouldn't be any difference, that's right, we're all just human beings, but sometimes it feels like I'm hanging out more with guys if you know what I mean...definitely it's great to see that it's getting a more common thing to have female instrumentalists at my school! If anyone wants to commetnt great channels etc., will be appreciated. And if you are familiar with any afro-cuban music, I'm looking for female artists as well. I know Rebeca Mauleon, she's a great instructor as well... Greetings from Suomi, Finland (sorry for possible mistakes, I got stuck watching inspiring artists in youtube at night! damn)

[@elenacontumbao]

Dayme Arocena is so worth of checking out by the way (cuban, jazz etc)! Hope you guys have some suggestions too!

[@elenacontumbao]

And I want to add that you are a great improviser so already on my "inspiring artists" -list, haha

[@jackelshaw]

the scale over the Fsharp Half Diminished chord would be Fsharp Aeolian flat 5 right? By the way, you're my absolute favourite jazz teacher on the internet

[@ballebanka7845]

You seem like such a nice lady, thank you for this!

[@bobbystrickland6693]

Hi Aimee this is awesome as usual. I am curious where you are pedaling, if at all, because the improv lines are so clean. Are you just holding down the left hand chords to sustain them and using no pedal? My lines are muddy (a lot) because I misuse the pedal. Maybe can you do a pedaling demo? Thanks for everything.

[@horacio7744]

muy bueno!! subtitulos en español !!! gracias !!!

[@spradders]

hi - some nice ideas here, thank you! Why do you tritone sub to the B on the way to Fm? I would have thought you'd go via an F# instead? I realise that the B is a tritone away from the F but I thought you normally go via the tritone from the chord you're on, not the one you're going to?

[@AimeeNolte]

+Mike Spradbery the F# is the reason for doing it. It is the Tritone sub for C7 ( which leads right to Fm)

[@spradders]

thanks ... it is messing with my head a little ... I would have gone Cm, F# 13 or something, Fm; using the F# as the tritone sub from C. But you use the tritone from the F. I need to go back and watch your Step Up Your Soul tritone video ... or maybe need to think through what it looks like in a minor key ... or perhaps loosen up and think about using a tritone sub for the chord I'm aiming at, not the one I'm coming from... thanks! :-)

[@crono303]

Mike Spradbery You actually are understanding correctly! She's using an F#7 kind of sound. The B she mentions in the video is what the 1 chord would be (F#7 to BMaj). So she backs up one step from the Tritons sub to get C#min7 - F#7 - Fmin11.

[@spradders]

Right yes, that makes sense! So I guess you'd say that the B is the F# mixolydian mode. So we are passing via the F# (which is the tritone sub) and using the B scale over it coz that gives us the F#7 chord tones etc. Cheers @william Doran

[@elpirata2685]

Is that the Mike Spradbery I used to play with in the NSJO? Dave here- guitarist. Small world if so!

[@somanyemus7121]

Regarding the alternating whole tone scales, the A# played over the F# half diminished seems to be not in the F# half diminished chord, like normally that's just an A natural in that chord. How does that explained from a theory perspective why that's "ok"? I would think to avoid that note since its the major of the F# minor, b5, so I'm curious what the thought process is. Thanks for the awesome video.

[@AimeeNolte]

I think I only used G#. Not A#. Am I wrong? I might be!

[@AimeeNolte]

Ah you’re right...when I talked about “sounding more outside” and playing a Monk-like sound with a whole tone scale, I DID say to play an A#...but only in passing as a part of that “outside” kind of sound. Great question. I hope that helps.

[@somanyemus7121]

​@@AimeeNolte Hey thanks for replying. I'm talking about at 15:46 when the left hand chord is F# Half Diminished, but the right hand is playing an A#. (since the A# is part of the whole tone scale).

[@AimeeNolte]

Read my second reply in this thread

[@rickfern9368]

That caught me too but how about thinking of a “whole tone pentatonic” scale? Basically removes notes from A melodic minor and focuses on the whole tones in that scale. So F# G# C D E.

I found this channel today and by now you are just the best teacher i´ve found on KZbin. You are great woman, really,. Now I´m in love with you (don´t take it like I´m crazy, no) In love with your methods, your charisma and ways to comunícate your ideas. Musician, pianist, jazzist, attractive girl, beautiful voice, and an expresive pretty shiny smile. And it´s easy to notice you are intelligent and smart. I hope I´m not bothering you with these compliments. I´m not an old sicko, actually I´m pretty young. Where I find people like you? If I ever would consider to stay as a couple with someone, well, you know like who I would like to be.Instantly suscribed. I wish you my best sincerely. And hapiness with you family and loved ones.

How long do you mess around with a song before it's TOO long

[@AimeeNolte]

What do you mean - mess around?

[@jeromeking6001]

@@AimeeNolte Oh, sorry. I mean concentrate and practice a song before it's too long just playing one song.

[@AimeeNolte]

Depends on your own feelings about it and also the feelings of the people who have to listen to you practice! Lol I always think it’s good not to overdo it though. Keep a healthy balance of songs in rotation

[@realraven2000]

0:15 it kills me that you can casually talk over your piano playing. That always throws me totally, playing the rhythm right is difficult enough but then talking is like using the third half of your brain

Oh Aimee, I (as an 86 year old still stealing jazz ideas from PRO'S SUCH AS YOU ARE!). stay excited that you take your time to share VISUALLY & AUDIBLY (as a servant) your God given talents. Your (new pianos are a pain in the ___TUNING BEHAVIOR WISE) new Hallet Davis Grand is becoming pleasant recently. PLEASE GIVE KUDOS to the "SILENT ARTIST" (YOUR PIANO TECH/TUNER) who makes your "Lucious "fat" chords sound WONDERFUL! -. Dissonance on an "OUT OF TUNE BOX" is pitiful to all, whereas dissonance on a finely tuned piano "SELLS" As you know, local Musicians need a day gig to support their Music habits....Mine is as a concert Piano Tech. - This "How to solo over FOOTPRINTS is so great in all aspects - GOOD BOX, WELL TUNED & REGULATED, GREAT SONG TO DEMONSTRATE, GREAT TEACHER & PLAYER. YOU & YOUR TUNER ARE APPRECIATED! don korb. ps FLORIDA oranges are better than CA oranges😇

[@AimeeNolte]

+Don Korb oh my gosh, Don. I have to tune it every three weeks. It's costing me a bundle, but when it's in tune, it is my absolute best friend. :-) it's a fairly new instrument, and I'm hoping that as time goes on, I can stretch it out a couple more weeks between tunings.

Thank you for the lesson. The F7 is not altered... it's an F7 /9/ 13/#11... Cm melodic or F lydian dominant scale... just saying..😊
