Mentally switching from doing the whole chord in the left hand to really thinking about the 3 and 7 and how it spreads between hands is so simple yet nice!

[@wrigers]

This was a very, very useful tutorial. Thank you!

[@JohnGraham78rpm]

Most enlightening. Up to now I have been playing the full chord in the left hand, and can't wait to follow your system.

[@arminburmeister2257]

Great Video Jack. Easy to understand and plenty to work with. Thanks and greetings from Germany

[@MarkMassie-mw7fo]

Thank you, Jack! Very clear and informative. I just need practice to instantly find the inner chord notes without thinking about it. I know this will come as my knowledge of respective scales improves. Thanks again.

[@user-pt5uy3fj5u]

Thanks very much. Well described .

[@ratcageproductions]

Love this channel yall help so much!

[@DSMS-nu4vj]

Thank you!

[@jamesbalentine8490]

Thanks for this tutorial, Jack. I'm a first-year piano student, and this video unlocked a world of knowledge for me. While I may not be able to execute this technique today, I can apply what you have taught me and build the skill. It's great to have the understanding to build upon.

[@delhibill]

Pretty amazing stuff when you think about it. Great info.

[@michellesickinger1878]

[@charlesgoldsmith6410]

Hey all hope all is good 👍

[@georgebielous1881]

Thanks!

[@contemporaryschoolofpiano]

Many thanks George!

[@RobyCOP-]

very interesting! One question: how do you deal with the rhythm ? I see you play applying some changes about that without explaining how to master it. Very good job however! Thanks!

[@contemporaryschoolofpiano]

Yes so a video that might suit you better would be this one if the rhythm is the key area you'd like to explore: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHWyhomYa5dseMksi=N0t-87b7nZda3nJu - we also have a series of videos on Groove as well that could help.

[@jackkellyKMM]

Thank for this video. Very useful and informative. One comment though; you have a lot of proximity effect on your mic. That is causing a lot of build-up in bass frequencies which hurts intelligibility of your speech. If I may, I suggest you back off a couple of inches or switch to a mic with less proximity effect (maybe EV RE-20 or Sennheiser MD421). Meanwhile, thanks again for this vid.

[@contemporaryschoolofpiano]

Thanks for the sound advice!

[@davediffin6586]

The chord says G6 but looks like you play a Gmaj7. Why is this please

[@stevenwhitaker-jones5687]

I can't understand why the 6 isn't mentioned either, but I'm sure there is a good explanation!

[@Robert-ts2ef]

You initially need to know the scale of each chord so as to figure out the intervals of the chord, so not as easy as you show unless you are chord knowledgable to begin with.

[@contemporaryschoolofpiano]

There's a misconception that musicians constantly associate each chord with a specific scale as they play. In reality, thinking in such detail would be overwhelming and could hinder their performance. Instead, chords effectively serve as key reference points or pillars within a scale.

[@joanb7180]

An interesting question and reply because I apparently think in terms of knowing scales for each chord and it’s overwhelming. There are people that just seem to be able to play without much effort.

[@celebrityinterviews3691]

astoundingly verbose. very little information as to how to actually read lead notation, which is supposedly the point of this video.

[@contemporaryschoolofpiano]

@celebrityinterviews3691 Thanks for visiting our channel, we have lots of other faster paced tutorials. If you read the comments from other students you'll see that our crowd tends to be very detailed oriented and appreciate tutorials with the step by step explanations. That bring said, we have some faster paced videos on the channel for you to explore as well. Many thanks.

[@celebrityinterviews3691]

@@contemporaryschoolofpiano a very courteous response. but the title led me to believe that the video would tell me how to decrypt lead notation. but the video didn't provide that information, and was instead a lecture about finding your jazz innner child. in any case, i will take down the comment.
