As always awesome instructions. Your the Bob Ross of piano lessons. Thank You!

You mean the Bill Alexander of piano lessons. :D fyi, Bill was Ross' teacher.

@@ayokay123 I stand corrected LOL I did read that Bob learned to paint from Bill Alexander :) However Bobs voice and teaching style was all his own

Oliver Prehn. A great and powerful Jazz musician. A great teacher as well.

[@arthurroschbooksandmusic7700]

Oliver, I'm back. Actually I never went anywhere. It is now 26 months since I started piano study. You have been so helpful! Every day I learn something new. Even I am impressed by my progress and I don't impress myself very much.

[@NewJazz]

Haha - great - thanks a lot for your feedback. I'm so glad that some of my vids can help you on your musical road ;) Cheers from Oliver

[@TimothyJohnsonBey]

Probably some of the most valuable lessons come from this unselfish man.

[@ScarletteFiesci]

Can't believe I've just found your channel but so so so glad that I did you would never believe. Thank you so so so much Oliver. Not only are you an excellent musician but an incredible teacher. So many times I've asked how and what and when to play certain notes in the middle of hand grips when improvising but no one can tell you. I've watched countless KZbin videos and it's always the same. The fact that you are doing this to spread this knowledge amongst musicians free speaks volumes about you as a person and your love for music. It's refreshing really and I appreciate your generosity and total altruism. I can't donate presently as not working but I certainly will once I'm back to work. Your selflessness has made me feel guilty for enjoying your video and not being able to donate but as I said I will once I can. Not sure if you've already done this but a similar kind of video in the other modes would be great.. Don't mean to be cheeky but I've struggled with modes and improv for many years. Spoilt and hindered by classical training. Will certainly follow your channel. What's not to like, you're patient, not patronising, show things and don't just go off and add lots of tricky movements after saying you're going to teach something like a lot of Jazzers do! Love your teaching style and your voice is soothing and put me at ease straight away. Thank you so much once again.

[@NewJazz]

Hi and thanks a lot for your really nice message and feedback :) :) :) I'll for sure consider doing more lessons about the specific modes. Thanks for your input. Cheers from Oliver

[@ScarletteFiesci]

The pleasure is all mine Oliver. I would appreciate that if you could do that for us but I understand that as you're probably doing this in your own time, it may be a little difficult.

[@franciscomadridgonzalez9424]

Extraordinary and simple, you are a genius.

Its Kalyan thaat (mode) in Indian music and I must say you are true musician who is sharing such a precious knowledge. Thank you so much ❤

[@corryspriveri5942]

Hi Oliver, I was thinking about the pattern you're using here. I could be wrong but the structure is very similar harmonically to the pentatonic one of your lessons on polimodality. There You get the Lydian mode by a pentatonic row in the key of C i.e. A, E and B minor pentatonic and in this lesson we have triads G C and D establishing modality. So we could say that pattern changes but harmony stay the same. I would like to get your thinking about that. Best regards

[@NewJazz]

Hi :) Yes, exactly!!! It's two different hand grips, two different ways to do Lydian, two different patterns and sounds on Lydian. Cheers from Oliver

[@LukeSky0]

Muito bom!

[@jouliadam4687]

Mantap

[@CsehCsaba75]

Sounding great, but I just wonder if you mentioned "C" lydian , why not appears the raised 4, witch is F# - as I know the lydian meannings is the raised 4 degree in major mode.

[@NewJazz]

Correct, C Lydian has an augmented 4th step compared to the Major mode. I'm no totally sure about your question - maybe you can elaborate a little? Cheers from Oliver

[@rebanelson607]

I thought Lydian started on the 4th note of whatever scale is being used and Mixolydian started on the 5th note of whatever scale is being used. If that is correct wouldn't B Lydian start on E natural rather than F#? Maybe i'm confused? @@NewJazz

[@KrisVanMoerbei]

Wow

[@12Keys]

So far I learnt a lot and can't stop improvising with other musicians using your technique. They said this is pure jazz and they love listening to it. I jam online with other musicians, If you ever want to join, It's for free and can use virtual sounds through a midi cable to connect your piano with them🎵

[@anttt7993]

How do you do this with no latency?

[@12Keys]

@@anttt7993 I played on Jamtaba, it is a free software that allows musicians to play together online in real-time. It has a built-in metronome feature that can be used to help musicians stay in time with each other. The metronome can be set to a specific tempo and time signature, and each musician can hear it through their headphones or speakers. Jamtaba also offers other tools such as chat and file-sharing to help musicians collaborate effectively. They are synchronized.

[@周杰伦的偶像]

Although the five-tone scale finger technique can quickly locate notes, if I am playing 71234 instead of 61235, does that mean the finger technique has changed?

[@NewJazz]

Hi :) Can you maybe elaborate a little? I'm not totally sure about what you mean... Cheers from Oliver

[@周杰伦的偶像]

@@NewJazz What I mean is, when you play the five notes of 6-1-2-3-5, do you use the same fingering if you play the five notes of 7-1-2-3-4 on the pentatonic scale, or do you use different fingering?

[@NewJazz]

Hi :) I'm still not totally sure about what the numbers illustrates - the steps on a specific scale maybe? But maybe I can answer your question anyway. The hand grip technique is not meant as a tool to play specific phrases or melodies. We often can't use the hand grip technique to play a written song melody. But though you may not be able to play a specific melody you can still extract thousands of different phrases from a simple hand grip. The hand grip technique is ment as an improvisation tool; a tool to structuralize our improvisation and to set the mind free. Cheers from Oliver

[@anttt7993]

Im curious, do you ever play an acoustic piano? I'm a few years into learning on a digital piano, with a similar style to yours, and I find that the sustain pedal is way more forgiving on the keyboard. Do you do any practice targeting pedal work? I have found that playing a slower and ambient style has made my pedal technique a bit too lax. When I go to play something faster, I have to much more aware of my pedaling. When playing in the style of the video, it can be easy to just hold the pedal down. Always enjoy your videos! Glad to see you have gained so many subs!

[@NewJazz]

Hi and thanks a lot :) :) :) I've made a video about how to use the sustain pedal. Maybe it's useful to you. Cheers from Oliver kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3y3nqNjorOpsM0

[@Ahmad-Mounir44]

Sir, I need a favor please. I am taking Jazz seriously these days and I finished your beginner playlist. What playlist would you recommend next?

[@NewJazz]

Well, each lesson can be seen individually and they are actually not meant for the purpose of being watched in a specific order. So the idea is that you just zap around and choose whatever interests you. Many lessons start up easy and then they get harder and harder. So if a lesson becomes too difficult (or weird) you just skip that lesson and make a fresh start with another one. That’s the main idea!!! I talk more about this way of learning Music in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2iWZpxte7-fo6s But anyway, I’ve made this playlist trying to sort the videos in a suggested order: kzbin.info/aero/PLd8gNAxPUcJw1DmmWooCWx_jgKzgBfYGp At the front page of the NewJazz channel you also have other different entrances to the lessons: kzbin.info And on the “playlist tab” you’ll find even more categories/chunks of lessons: kzbin.info/playlists Cheers from Oliver

[@GoBack95]

Wow thanks Sir a lots... long time . sr Sir i'm say english to bad ^^

[@dfhwze]

add2 no3 -> what happened to "sus2" notation? :)

[@NewJazz]

Hahaha - and hi my friend ;) Yes, "sus2" would be a more accurate notation for the left hand. I guess my excuse could be that it's because I wanted the left and right hand grip notations to be consistent. Thanks a lot for great input on this ;) Cheers from Oliver

[@dfhwze]

@@NewJazz for the guy that invented the mixolydian flat 1 scale, I'm not surprised anymore :)

[@NewJazz]

Haha - well, I'm not done yet, messing up, not at all. In a couple of months from now I'm planning to make a lesson that presents a brand new and more free approach to scales. But I know that you have a free and open mind, so you can handle it I'm sure ;) Cheers from Oliver

[@costasyiannourakos6963]

When we say lydian on C. don't we mean the key signature of G?? Or we do mean Lydian on F? In otherwords the natural keys!!

[@NewJazz]

Hi :) Good question. I mean Lydian on C. That's C in the bass and the notes c-d-e-f#-g-a-b. The G Major scale share those keys - but we do not hear G Major, because C is our main Key. So we hear C Lydian with it's characteristic augmented 4th step. And correct; Lydian on F share keys with the C Major scale. Cheers from Oliver

[@Ahmad-Mounir44]

Sir, your right fingers are walking on these keys like walking in the garden of Eden and they look like they're just touching the keys, not even pressing them. What's the secret behind that? I really need to reach this level of comfort in my playing :( I've been practicing and playing piano for 6 yrs now. I guess I'll have another 10 yrs to reach this level. SWEEEET! :)

[@NewJazz]

Thank you so much :) This other lesson (quite silly but useful I hope) is about how to play fast and easy - maybe you can use some of the techniques we learn in that lesson ;) kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGGqfGCKgrGMpsk Best regards from Oliver
