Thank sooooooo much. This changed my life. I play by ear and learned Donna Lee 15 years ago, but never knew what exercises to do for increasing my vocabulary as far as bop. In the first 5 minutes of this tutorial you’ve changed my life as now I know the first 3 exercises I’ve needed for 15 years…. Bless you Sir!

Can't always play a full size piano. I have a 72 key Casioa CTK 4200. Which emulates the feel of piano quite well.Also it seems to have the same distances on the keys. Exercises like this , can be done on a small key board...by college music students etc on a small keyboard. Love your channel. Thank you for the free resources. I am in the process of using various music editors to help me and others read music better. I recently copied a lick and it sounded very blah. Wasn't surprised. I do it much better on the piano. I know it's possible to emulate the sound but it would have be done with a combination stacato and emphasis arrows. rest etc. Have you any idea on how swing eighths and triplets can be duplicated on a digital interface.?
@PIANOSTYLE1006 жыл бұрын
I didn't used to know about the bell. I rang it so now I get all the videos. Also Untill about six months ago. I did not know about the arrow to the right which opens up the description link and further allows you to provide free material etc. Some important comments. This is an excellent way to learn to read music. The pros instantly get a feel for it. There are so many places that teach how to read music.. but the best way is to remember the notes and what octaves there in Eg. C4 is C in the middle of the piano and the middle of the Trebble and Base cleff. Your sheet music is cCollege course in itself. For those that having trouble with the base cleff. Without looking at the chord.. try to figure out the notes of the cleff.. My copy shows a D and F .. this is a root base and minor third in the major scale of D..But don't try to understand all that if your new. Just look at the top chord Dm7..That tells you that you have a D in the base.. that's a key touchtone note.. The D is located top and bottom 1 1/2 spaces top and bottom from the bottom cleff. Now look at the G7.. The way jazz musicians see a G7 or G dominant chord is the 1 and b7..in every key. So a G7 is rep quite often by G and F. Notice the flat 7 or minor 7 is a whole tone down from the root. You can know the flat seven in an instant. For G scale it's F f, for D it's C , For C it Bb, ect. You learn about rest , triplets ect. This piece is a gem, a gold mine.. I literally have hundreds of pices of different genres and maybe a hundred books..some were bought used..I plan to keep this is my clip board. I also have made a watch now section called bebop so I can refer this video often .There is much more to say about this.. I'm texting this.. spellcheck has corrected many correct things.. hope I caught all it's errors.

I saw how you did that Ab/C major 10th at 2:55 by pressing the B silently before the chord. That's genius! Definitely going to practice that.
@Gjermund-Sivertsen5 жыл бұрын
Yes, Tyler. My fingers sometimes press down more notes than what you can hear. This is due to my stretching technique. No way I could reach the 10th from Ab to C without this technique.

Snippets is the way I play. Also as a guitarist from age 12 ( my dad started me out on one string), playing melodies; I love to do songs like all of me and autumn. leaves. The base line follow the tune pretty strongly on autumn leaves. Anyways , snippets not running endless scales, a little chromatic here, a little harmonic minor.. just enough. Then over time the dexterity grows and maybe some want to play scale wise. I personally like snippets and only once in a while play whole scales.

Working on beautiful brown eyes as a beginning tutorial for timing and getting familiar with the bass cleff. I had never seen it, but as d is symmetrical about the third line in the base cleff; so is b about the third line b in the Trebble. As D is the gift in base so is b in the Trebble. Like your channel.

Great teaching!! I am learning bits by bits of bebop, lounge music, voicings, etc, but when it comes to play a complete song for a singer, I mean improvising an intro, then comping for the singer, improvsie a bebop line as an interlude, comping again then ending .... I don't know how to apply. And I don't know if I switch to omitting the bass when a bass player is there when I am mostly practising 1-7 or 1-10 right now.
