Have you been trying to learn jazz piano with youtube videos, dvds, teachers but feel
like you're still constantly guessing, can't play any tunes without copying what someone else has played,
and don't know how to connect all the tid bits you've learned?
I went through the same thing but thankfully stumbled upon a learning system I created based on
proven language learning blocks.
The JPS System brings you through 4 main categories of learning,
Theory, Technique, Improvisation and Repertoire.
I'll show you exactly how to utilize our popular system so
you can finally achieve jazz piano freedom: jazzpianoschool...

Wonderful explanation of this great piece of work. Thanks for sharing

[@alamooji3716]

Never thought of this. Creative! Thanks for passing it on

[@jazzpianoschool]

Glad you enjoyed it, Justin!

[@paulax7379]

Thank you for the analysis. When you loop it, it reminds me of Thelonious Monk's Bemsha Swing

Great tutorial. Those enharmonics sure do make it harder to follow than it could be though

[@jazzpianoschool]

Thanks for watching, Elliot!

[@brucejeric6701]

Ab is also Tritone sub of D. So all areTritone subs of a 1-6-2-5-1 from C

[@jazzpianoschool]

Correct, Bruce! Thanks for the comment!

[@lima3104]

Thank you

[@jazzpianoschool]

Thank you for the support, Oriane!

Just to let you know that not all people can play a 10th, like you do with the Cmaj chord of the turnaround. With your left hand you play C-G-E. I can't do that, unfortunately. Would be great to have examples of chords for "small" hands, that is up to a 9th. Thank you !

[@jazzpianoschool]

If you can't reach a tenth, you can play a 7th in your LH! It might not be as "beefy", but still gets the job done. Hope this helps!

[@patrickfrize1186]

Hi, I believe the original song has all Maj 7ths in the turnaround. There are no tritones so no tritones subs. I always thought of this as a modal interchange turnaround. If you use C phrygian instead, all the chords work as Maj 7ths.

[@noahses]

Wrong. Listen to the original before commenting nonsense.

[@Koropokel]

isnt it possible to sub with a maj7 chord instead of a dominant?
