Introduction to MIXOLYDIAN scale - and beyond...

[@danielcortes6964]

Your teaching is clear-like-water, even for non english speakers. Thanks a lot!

[@sammiller9855]

I agree. Often theory lessons can busy the mind. But the way Oliver teaches is zen-like. It actually simplifies things, empties the mind in its clarity. I find it relaxing. That's a sign of great teacher.

[@jakubweinert7315]

indeed

[@interestedlen8823]

This is the most elegantly clear explanation of how to form Mixolydian chords I have ever seen. You are unlocking chord theory after many years for this dyslexic struggler. There are many great players, but so few truly great teachers, thank you Oliver.

[@skimanization]

Nobody ever explained modes to me the way you do and now I know what they are and how to use them to make music and improvisation. Thanks, for your genius, truth and unsurpassed kindness.

[@jameslanga6288]

I'm in the KZN province in the RSA, I've never felt as accommodated as one of your students yet never met you even on Skype or what,but your Godly patience in making sure we do get the picture on your lectures or teachings if I may say,it is so not from this planet,thank you so much Mr Oliver Prehn it's even worse to me as a starting not even moderate,God bless you

[@sunsounds8625]

I can feel the passion that you have with your explanations, it makes me smile.

[@NewJazz]

HAHA - GREAT :) :) :)

[@Corai12]

@@NewJazz this is very serious. Ive had many teachers but you explain so much clearer. You make us understanf music and its execution. Thank you so much and thanks for all musicians and youtubers from your country

[@fonsitosantoshernandez9125]

This is Dr. Alfonso from Puerto Rico, USA. All my respects for you effort and passion to teach us how to manage these fascinating Jazz world. I am a melodic metal guitarist, however, because of you I play piano in jazz style. I am really having fun doing so far. Also improve the way how I play my acoustics guitar in that style. YOU ARE AN AMAZING MUSICIAN AND A GREAT PROFESSOR. ALL MY REGARD.

[@stephanearnoux]

This is the BEST course for understanding what jazz is. Thank you so much for that.

[@KNHSynths]

Truly the best jazz classes on the web! The way things are explained is clear and straightforward, without letting you doubt how to understand what has been demonstrated. NewJazz videos make you smarter for sure! Fantastic work, full of meaning and pedagogy.

[@LewisGriff96]

Best music education creator out there, gets a like from me! Hope your generosity and pure love for music is rewarded properly

[@antoniom.camera3537]

Great channel. Great teacher. Great content. Great graphic layout. Great pdfs. Great music. Great for learners. This is the Great-Great-Great piano channel. Tak

[@nagualnazgul3101]

Guitarist here, I really like the way your lessons are so well organized, neat&clean, easy to understand. I've seen this things explained in many ways by many people but the way you do it opens up a better view in my mind for organizing scales and chords on the guitar keyboard too Keep up the nice work your doing for us :)

[@NewJazz]

GREAT TO HEAR AND THANKS!!!!

[@arthurrosch5378]

Jazz is an expression of personal achievement. It is intellectual and spiritual athleticism combined with grace of perception. What a jazz musician finds is a form so deep and inclusive that it sucks into itself all the world’s music and sublimates these musics into an idiom that blends blues and improvisation. A practitioner of jazz is much like a yogi or monk who undertakes a life of contemplation. When musicians arrive together to make music they bring their valise of masteries, their real and fake books, their tools and tuners. Nowadays we have no guides except jazz musicians. The world may not know this. But WE do.

[@blessaekanan1843]

Thank you very much You are my piano teacher that God sent. Everything God has given to humans All for each other This world can live by sharing and love. May God bless you

[@laztube100]

Congratulation! You are the best piano teacher on the net. Well done!

[@christopherwilliams2092]

The Lydian dominant scale put this lesson over the top with me. I'm heading to the piano right now!

[@Kinorono]

You are a great teacher, Mr, Prehn, one of the very best. I appreciate all the preparation you put in for each of your terrific videos. Your passion and love for playing and teaching shows. Your subtle and obvious sense of humor is classic in my opinion. You have a good heart, Oliver. I'm so glad I am able to watch all your videos. I have learned so much from you in such a short time. All the best to you OP. Thank you. I will make more donations, I promise. Your time is valuable to your many students and fans. to say I am learning Jazz Piano from Oliver Prehn is a high for me.

[@NewJazz]

Hi and thanks a lot. You don't have to donate anything - a really nice message like yours is all the support I need :) :) :) Warm regards Oliver

[@sammiller9855]

I love these simple lessons of tonal exploration outside the context of a "song"--its the best way to learn theory. This lesson is no exception. Thanks.

[@sgranzo2]

oliver your voice is very warm... i love hear you speaking and explain jazz!

[@ArgoBeats]

A beauty of lesson... usually "avoid" things in life are often so beautiful as well

[@mcadder]

What can one say? ...this is just the best youtube channel! So glad I found it. Thx!!

[@iD_Tech900]

I love your teaching Sir........very very very informative and educative. Thanks Sir.

[@rodrigopartida5464]

That reflection about the avoid note is a very deep reflection about life.

[@NewJazz]

HAHA - Yes, you are right about that!!!

[@vintageritarose]

"The Avoid Note" so cool you have a great way of getting your point across. Love it ! 😀

[@earthquake876]

Really beauriful. I love your simple way of explaining, Mr. Prehn.

[@surajmajumder7279]

Thank you so much sir... Your teaching is really good and easy to understand...

[@CreateArtRecords]

Hi Oliver, is nice to come back to one of the first Videos i saw. I learned that the Avoid-Note relates to a Cadence Situation. I always used it a lot. And, now i see all the Connections between your other Vids espacielly the "3 small Licks.." Vid. I will try to transfer it to the Guitar too. One more Time THANKS a lot my Friend!

[@benardmwangi843]

I like the way you are breaking it down for a begginer like me kind of understanding it. I appreciate

[@GuillermoPSKrebs]

This Is just incredible amazing! I can almost feel I can jazz... And that's a lot for me. Thank you so much

[@WayneGiroux]

Monsieur Oliver , hundred’s of good teachers over there, some are better than others. You, are the best of the best ones..musicians, teacher with all your soul and goodwill to share your gift to us in such a wonderful simple way (though so interested complexity to learn about Jaaaz..I always go back to your lessons every day , thank you ! NBG. p.s. my next cat will be called Oliver in your honor 😊

[@vanbrush9537]

I am a slow learner but this is working for me! Thank you for repeting the examples.

[@danielibnz]

This is the real thing... Thanks for sharing

[@ronlister4033]

Thank you, you are a true master. I love to listen to you just play scales and I'm learning so much. Beautiful!

[@tedturner03]

Man!!! I love you. I have watched you for hours!!!!

[@marcopepe4046]

Can't wait to see your approach on 12 bar blues! Thank you Oliver.

[@yoloswag6242]

Amazing! I remember Prince referring to this scale in one of his interviews

[@Kawamanimes]

When he was talking about Beyonce :D

[@Kassiusday]

When & where was that prince s interview please ??

[@anthonyarmstrong7311]

Thank you Oliver you are an EXCELLENT instructor.

[@margarex4113]

Great video. Well explained, visual and so enjoyable. Thank you.

[@michaelpeter6617]

Dear Mr Prehn, this is very awesome. Thanks so much.

[@anthonyarmstrong7311]

I'm Learning so many great instructions from you Mr. Prehn. I'm on cloud Nine. Thank you.

[@rickrocketts183]

Hi Oliver! I hadn’t watched this video until now, thinking i already knew “plenty” about what the mixolydian scale is. But I’m so glad i watched it! Great application of the dominant left hand “grip 2b” chord, and i would not have thought of trying a “lydian dominant” scale anytime soon. Thanks again, good sir.

[@rickrocketts183]

But i think what matters most is how beautiful it sounds…

[@aidanpomerantz3093]

I cant even describe how amazing this is thank you so much

[@yvesbrulin1079]

Your lessons are more than appreciated ! Many thanks for your great job Oliver

[@getyourmindright3690]

This is really awesome! Cheers for the extra scale I never knew about that one.

[@onpatrolforthejuice]

This is so intuitive and enjoyable to practice with you.

[@WayneGiroux]

Ah! At the end of this video you recommend this 12 bars blues impro which is such a good complement in order to accomplishing this one . I practiced it since January and so helpful . Generously good planning Monsieur Oliver…thank you again…NBG

[@MrSonrisaproductions]

Oliver! You are a MONSTER INSTRUCTOR! Muchas Gracias Amigo!

[@playingpianowithchords1578]

Thank you for this amazing tutorial - I love it! It's great fun to improvise using these hand grips :)

[@Waldvogel45]

super teaching, content, pace and clarity, for all musicians; bravo

[@JavierPaillalef]

You're a genius! A brilliant teacher sir! I'm following your lessons.

[@trentonitachi]

YES I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR ANOTHER LESSON, THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@nujazzelectro]

Love this tutorial! Thanks

[@mtmals9786]

Best style on The Tube Mister Oliver. Sending over some lettuce as token of thanks. Good sounds.

[@joaoguilhermedalmolin4630]

Your videos are excellent. You teach clearly and gradualy. You are committed and worried about the understanting. And I haven't even mentioned how you dominate the subject. I would like to know if it is possible for you to please post a video teaching how to schematicaly and gradually practice and learn how to play chords rithmically while improvising at the same time in jazz and blues music. (Sorry for bothering you asking things)

[@NewJazz]

Hi and thanks so much :) :) :) You surely encourage me to make more music lessons... And yes - we should also have something about left hand chords. It will not be the next few videos though. But thanks for asking - it is an important subject - I will remember. I hope you have patience with me ;) The best regards Oliver

[@franciscoalbertogovene8808]

Thank you so much for the wonderful master class.

[@EfratEliahu]

[@kaka19871]

Great lesson! i love the avoid note!

[@ung2002]

So Amazing sound. I love this way. Thanks Master.

[@fourdaysdead]

great lesson! I hope to see how to practice modes against a bunch of chords like when a guitar player improvises modes against different riffs. Thank you for your channel, I guess one of the best which exposes the theory in a very clear and understandable way

[@imedicineman]

A terrific lesson as always, Oliver. Thank you.

[@ΣΤΕΦΑΝΟΣΜαυρογιώργης]

Good luck with your progress in Music :)

[@jujusaudioreads]

Love it!

[@robinlundqvist2565]

So nice!

[@KennethGonzalez]

I always appreciate your videos, Oliver! I am a guitarist transitioning to piano to extend my knowledge, enjoyment and capabilities. I have better than average jazz knowledge and chops. Your emphasis on training the ear and backing ones way into the theory is just excellent. The use of the sustain pedal to contrast notes against a root and the playful approach to improvisation is excellent. I also like how you transform the "avoid" note into an "aware" note! Subtle, but extremely effective! Bravo, sir :-)

[@NewJazz]

Thanks a lot Kenneth :) :) :)

[@markbra]

Thanks for the THRILL !

[@adamkurniawan502]

I much like your kind of lesson so exciting while I watching and try to understand in the mid on video I feel sleepy and then I sleep. I thought it was the best way to learn cause I hope it will sink in to my subconcious mind :)

[@undefinedinstrument]
