Pianist, author, and candlestick holder Jeremy Siskind talks about a whole range of ways to play "out", meaning to use notes outside of the chord changes and ranks them, approximately, from most "in" to most "out." If you enjoyed this video, you'll like "Jazz Piano Fundamentals (Book 3)".

I play 'out' even when I don't mean to! Thanks, great lesson

This is the most impactful jazz lesson on KZbin. I have to watch this again and again to absorb all this goodness. Please do more of this- same concepts more examples.

I'm so glad you liked it, Brian! A lot of this info is covered in much more detail in "Jazz Piano Fundamentals (Book 3)"

You are a great teacher.

Many thanks, Chris! Happy practicing!

Another great video on the spectrum of great videos! Learned a lot, thank you!. Follow-up Cable Question: Can you play Spectrum TV "out"? Answer: No, due to regional restrictions, Spectrum TV is not available outside the United States.

[@JeremySiskind]

Haha, good point, Don! Thanks for watching!

That was amazing, such good for thought, thank you!

Awesome! I hope you get something from it!

I'm honored. Thanks so much for that, Bowl Full of Ice Cream!

Just as interesting, if not more to me is questioning and trying to understand what playing “in” actually means? The more I explore that thought through practice the less clear it has become for me. chords have common tones, inversions, extensions, alterations, and analogues. Sometimes the difference is just in perspective, context, or harmonic function. Trying to transcribe and interpret from ear as an amateur has highlighted that ambiguity. Is it a minor 6 or a m7b5? Is it a Maj6 or a minor7? Diminished or b7b9? All notes are in relation with each other. It can all be relative, and I find that beautiful!

[@JeremySiskind]

Fair point! That feels like a Buddhist riddle. For most chords, the 1,3,5,7 are clearly in?

[@JeremySiskind]

But, that's a reductive answer. I see your point!

[@BrendaBoykin-qz5dj]

Thank you very much for this. The piano view could have been larger, and moved up slightly so the youtube progress bar doesn't block it when we pause the video.

Hey Jeremy another great video . . . It scares me that I'm actually understanding these concepts through your videos, studies, and reading all your books. I just need a lot of practice . . . Thanks for keeping my mind very busy. Cable !

[@JeremySiskind]

Don't be scared! 😜 How wonderful that you're understanding! I hope you can make your fingers understand too!

[@barryo5158]

Thank you Jeremy! Far out! Your curve and the topic reminded me of the graphic that was included with the original Lydian Chromatic Concept book that depicted Ornette Coleman taking an outgoing horizontal melody rocket ride down the Mississippi. Cable.

Ooh, interesting! I don't know that graphic, but I want to find it now!

I am having a lot of fun lately with upper structures trying a lot of stuff. When i thought about F#add4/C7 i was like oh shit i guess it doesnt work because of that b netural, now that video felt like this just do it meme😂. I guess if you say its ok to have one note not working because the rest of the notes are cool it gives you so many more options to work with like even Bmajadd2 over C7. Great lesson 🙏

On Brad Mehldau's solo on Solar, I think on Art of the Trio 4, I'm pretty sure that on at least two different choruses, on the Eb maj chord he plays an E natural major arpeggio, (or part of it). I used to think, wt... was that? For some reason it reminded me of a calliope. Anyone know what I'm talking about, or should I not believe my ears?

[@JeremySiskind]

There's not a single "answer," but you could file that away under "modal interchange" - thinking Locrian instead of Ionian.

[@sheilamacdougal4874]

@@JeremySiskind Thanks! That's still wild. Would you ever play a Locrian on a major 7th?? (I've always thought of Locrian as "in" especially for a modal tune like Autumn Leaves, when you get to a chord on the major 7th of the relative major scale. (I hope I know what I'm talking about.) I mean, if it's in E minor, the relative major scale is G, so on the F# minor preceding the V leading back to the I: Locrian sounds right, Dorion or Aeolian sounds wrong, especially their natural 9th. But I guess that's playing in, whereas playing a Locrian on a major 7th would be another way to play out. (???))
