This is a five-star jazz piano tutorial.For years, before finding it, I had been trying to play jazz piano ballads that sounded pleasing. And failing to do so, I looked for guidance.Searching, I found pianists who played inspiring jazz piano ballads, but were lousy teachers. I also found great teachers, but theirs piano ballad playing was uninspiring.Then I found this jazz piano tutorial.I stopped searching.This is it.I feel I’m on my way.

any tips on playing corcovado as p jazz ballad piano solo?

[@jazzpianoschool]

Hey Tan: thanks for watching! That's a big question - some suggestions: make sure you work out full sounding harmonization of the melody, make the melody sing, and don't be afraid to use the sustain pedal to get that lush sound!

[@canefan17]

Which episode/video do you cover stride?

[@jazzpianoschool]

@canefan: Ep 56 "The basics of Stride Piano". In the future, if you go to the JPS channel and search the keyword of the videos your looking for, you should be able to find them quickly that way.
