How to use the PENTATONIC SCALE to improvise thrilling Jazz...

[@NewJazz]

Hi dear fellow musicians :) In this other lesson we do some useful practical 'exercises' with the pentatonic hand grip. You might wanna check it out when having done the lesson above... Cheers from Oliver kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIuxhHenp7aSqLM

Oliver, not only are you a great teacher, but your wonderful humanity comes through in your videos as strongly as your musical genius. My only regret is that I can't meet you in person and shake your hand. Thank you.

[@DimitriSafarikas]

I came here for the lessons, i'm staying because of your fantastic voice timber and rythm. You're a great musician, but even greater teacher. Thank you !

[@CarloVirtucio]

This lesson has unlocked the jazz secret I've been looking for all these years. I feel like I can finally approach that sound I've been looking for in a clear and logical way instead of trying figure what music theory/scale works or not and why. This is so liberating. Thank you!

[@davidmccall4776]

Oliver, I love the way your instruction flows from one idea to another. Before you know it you've learned things that you never thought were possible! Thank you sir! 🎹🎹🎹👍🎅

[@karlmccreight876]

The last three days I've been trying this. I felt uncomfortable with it. I remembered the wise words: If you leave your comfort zone a tiny bit each day and fail, get up and keep trying a little more-that's a good sign that you get better at what you are "working" on. That applies to almost everything you try to achieve. Today I started to get into a beautiful flow state and tried your suggestions on the pieces Mercy Mercy Mercy, Footprints, a minor blues progression and a piece of my own. For only having tried your method for only four days it worked increadably well. This is really exiting and beautiful and I can't wait to exploit this futher. It's a further step to step out of my bounderies-and it's only the beginning of a road to more freedom and inner peace. It's very close to walking a spiritual path. Thankyou soooo much. Love and peace

[@NewJazz]

Once more thank you so much for your very generous voluntary “super thanks” donation - you help keep me going for sure!!! I'm very grateful :) :) :) Best regards from Oliver

[@adinoadrino2061]

I went on a scavenger hunt to understand how to change between scales and this video explained sooo well now I understand you use the different modes and major and minor etc. thank you so much!!❤

[@geoffknot]

Hello. I am a guitar player. Your concepts are the most exciting! Keep up the great work!!

[@mikaelzerbib]

You teach so well that Im getting a piano for sure! best teacher on Earth!

[@Lassedavid]

Many of my piano students are learning how to improvise with "the handgrip-method." Very enriching stuff. I'm happy to be a patron member.

[@sammikinsderp]

Yes Sir! He's done it again! Time to dig right in and practice!

[@jeepmohd6248]

Mr Oliver, I devour with great passion your musical knowledge and musicianship. Super bravo for an excellent presentation. Cheers!

[@PawelLeszczynskipav]

brilliant thank you, seasond jazzer here, but been practicing some of your concepts for the past few months. Great for strengthening the 4th and 5th fingers too!

[@alekstopol]

Inspiring! Never played piano! Just 4 weeks, two exercises by Oliver and hit the road jack theme just flow!

[@ccas-c5j]

Top fellow. Enlightened individual. I'm going to spend considerable time trying to adapt these principles to my instrument, as I continue to learn.

[@schirmerchristophe671]

Thank you Oliver for this super nice lesson and your sensitivity. You bring us nothing but happiness and we look forward to your lessons. Thank you very much. And be well, take care

[@johndliu2284]

Thank you for this. It is both explaining a type of logic and at the same time freeing the thought of continuous repetition. This gives structure and at the same time permission to expand beyond the norm. This is Jazz for me. To experience the complexity and appreciate the virtuosity coming from a kind, compassionate, rational, voice and the very meaning full hand gestures completely captured me. Thank you for sharing this. I'm so glad to have found you and look forward to exploring more of your insights.

[@t.k.8265]

Where in the hell have I been? This enlightened me and pushed me light years ahead yo a great guy

[@rafaelgodoy903]

[@anthonyleija6944]

How cooling a sound we get from this, great.

[@kamelupo]

Simply a Natural Genius

[@bigronlfavordawolfmanhall9371]

Go Oliver. Sir you have got me so excited. Can not wait to get to a piano or keyboard. Im away from home now. However sir I can see all my notes and chords in my head, to understand the church modes and recall them now is a leap in understanding music. Wow you go champ. Bless you.

[@CreateArtRecords]

The Tipp to do the Blue-Note when ever its possibel, even when its not a Minor or Major Blues Function its brilliant. Eg. on the Phrygian Row, on the 3.Row, with the C-(Blues) Pentatonic. That Connects one more time the different Rows. Thanks so mutch again.

[@chaoukiabdelhadi2997]

Thank you so much, you are the best one on youtube.❤🙏👍

[@andrepechio]

After practicing for some time I can already hear a distinct jazz sound from my playing, WOW, thanks a lot.

[@ttdh18]

OMG- thank you Oliver Prehm! I cannot tell you how many years I have tried to understand these concepts and after watching your New Jazz videos, finally I see the light! You have made complex Jazz theory so accessible. You are an amazing teacher and a very talented musician.

[@tq193]

Thanks you so much for showing me how accessible playing the piano can be and stopping me from overthinking everything. I feel like your videos are giving me whole new, fun and musical worlds to explore even as a relative beginner :)

[@timothyneuss7955]

You are an amazing teacher

[@ferdinandbardamou5508]

You, sir, are a treasure of a human being. Please keep up sharing joy and music. Respect and best wishes from greece.

[@andersonoliveiradasilva4199]

Hi Oliver, this is one of the best lessons I ever had in my life. I really learned a lot today and had enormous fun going crazy mixing all the pentatonic styles. Thank you very much. I really appreciated.

[@identityx6417]

[@naveedsalam5335]

Great man

[@sammikinsderp]

I love the Minor and Major call and response!!!!

[@rickhood]

Hi Oliver. Watching your videos got me motivated to pick up piano again after 20 + years away. The style of jazz you play -- more modern, not just the standards -- is exactly what I want to play. Anyhow, I have relearned the 12 major and 12 natural minor scales, and am now working on triad inversions, arpeggios and speed. When I feel I have that foundation down, I will come back and dive into some of this stuff. I should probably learn all the pentatonic scales also. I knew nothing about modes before learning about them from you, so am also excited about getting into those. Also knew nothing about "hand grips" before learning from you. I hope to come to Copenhagen for the Jazz Festival in summer of 2022 and will pop over to Aarhus for a night or two for that Jazz fest, which I believe overlaps the Copenhagen festival. Maybe I will run into you in Aarhus.

[@NickSergeev]

This is blowing my mind. Thanks!

Excellent sound. Thank you from California.

[@robmiller8941]

What great concepts. I’m in my seventies and have spent time during the lockdown watching you tube videos to improve my playing and learn jazz. Love your simplified approach!!

[@rtoob]

Thank you Olive so very much!

[@lumm71]

In former lessons of you I learned this pentatonic grip stuff but never thought about call and response. This sounds very interesting. Thx.

[@PaulRodericks]

Tks for yet another pentatonics lesson. Cheers!

[@atzgoblastbotzo]

Absolutely amazing 😲 This is so advanced - yet it's a free lesson !

[@handlebargg]

Most lovely teacher I've heard, thank you so much!

[@martinli88guitars]

Better than most 'live' teachers!!

[@chemsilva]

Mr. Oliver, I´d like to thank you for this great lesson! I really enjoyed the way you teached the hand grips; today I applied this concept to my playing and it worked very fine! I was improvising over a Baião (a brazilian rhythm) and I loved the sound I got. Greetings from Brazil! Please continue this beautyfull work!

[@karlmccreight876]

I've recently discovered, that I can give myself another treat by doing what did before-just on a higher level by adding it to your method: I used to play drone notes over the blues scale while playing blues by ocasionally adding a top note , which are notes from the two chords that can be found within the pentatonic or blues scale. Okay-that's a rather common thing to while soloing over a simple blues progression in order to add some spice, BUT when I tried your method on this video, I suddenly used the mentioned top notes while I used the polymodal on stacked pentatonic with or without the blue notes (black keys on the a-,e-,b-,c-,g-, and d-pentatonic scales after the third note). This sounded like the joy of madness when I started playing like this "outside". I'm pretty exited about what's still there for me to discover, and while using your method, I often experience deep peace inside as if sitting alone in a teepe (during a small rainbow gathering) keeping the fire before me going. Then I am alone without feeling lonely 💖. Thankyou again. Stay beautiful brother...

[@NewJazz]

Great!!! And thanks a lot :)

[@leepradd6930]

Great teacher

[@atzgoblastbotzo]

Pure Genius ! It is incredibly advanced and yet playable. But you explain things a little to fast, moving shapes before we can memorize or play the notes. I had to pause and rewind many times 😅 Your playing is mesmerizing and your explanations incredibly interesting. These are such advanced professional tips that theory cannot even explain them easily ! I wonder if your Patreon is really helping you financially and how much you would need to make monthly to make this a half time or full time job ? Don't be shy about your financial goals because your are a true master, and so generous with your pro tips ! You deserve to succeed !

[@NewJazz]

Thank you so much for your really nice comment and great input - I'll try to slow down a little ;) I do these lessons almost full time now ;) Cheers from Oliver
