Pianist Jeremy Siskind discusses the Stride Ballad, a swung ballad style that can be varied given different tempos and pedaling. Follow all the way to the end for today's "secret word."

Brilliant lesson. I learned a lot just listening to you play so well. Stride piano is a lovely style but I often forget how perfect it can be for ballads.

[@JeremySiskind]

Awesome, thanks! Check out the other videos on ballad style when you're ready.

Bought your book and these fantastic videos make the concepts much more palpable. Great stuff to watch before diving into the respective chapters🥥 While I usually get the general idea, it would be great to have some exercises for the individual elements of the concepts to get them under my fingers. Nevertheless, amazing content!

[@JeremySiskind]

Thanks for the feedback! More stuff’s coming!

[@anastasiahulai5095]

This is just exactly what I need. I am in love with your channel, it's fantastic.

[@JeremySiskind]

Im so happy you like my channel, Anastasia! Thank you and let me know if there's ever a video topic you want me to make.

[@donm3986]

Great interpretation of I Got It Bad at the intro! And, so many ideas to consider throughout the video. (Or, what "a lovely bunch of"... ideas throughout the video!) Looking forward to the next installment of Ballad Styles.

[@JeremySiskind]

Awesome! Thanks, Don!

Coconut! What a wonderfully insightful video. Thanks so much. You're an amazing pianist and a great teacher.

[@JeremySiskind]

That’s so nice! Thanks, Lewis! I hope you get to check out the rest of the ballad series - I’m proud of it. :)

Coconut. Thank you

[@JeremySiskind]

My pleasure, Vaejovis! I hope to hear you play a beautiful stride ballad someday!

[@stuartheadey5240]

Coconut 🥥 Great video once again, Jeremy. I'm going to work on these techniques. Thanks for breaking them down so clearly.

[@JeremySiskind]

Thanks, Stuart! My pleasure!

[@EllieReagan]

You sound really good, man. Nice job

[@JeremySiskind]

Thanks, Ellie! I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos!

[@p1anosteve]

Brilliant variety of styles and 9.30 is very interesting.. sheer genius! Forgot the COCONUT!

[@JeremySiskind]

Nice! Thanks for watching, Steve!

[@arielhungary9327]

Great lesson (as always) I was definitely waiting for it after you mentioned it in the previous video. I hoped you will touch the Freddy Green style and it happened too! I think perhaps the Garner like “Gitarre” playing could have been part of it but I can imagine with your expertise you will make for him a full private section :) million thanks :)

[@JeremySiskind]

Yes! You're right, Ariel! The Freddie Green stuff is pretty similar to the way Erroll plays with his left hand. I haven't studied it too too deep, so I think someone else is going to have to make that video. :)

[@arielhungary9327]

@@JeremySiskind Ok, :) I’m more than satisfied with your great lessons. You gave us tips for practice piano for the next decades:) (Iván)

CO-CO-NUT!!!!!

[@ReedRobins]

I got the book this week, should arrive maybe next Monday or so. These videos are SO great. FYI, I studied with Mike Longo for 8 years fro '85 to '93, and he completely changed my life with what I learned from him. That said, I'm getting a totally different perspective here that is really, really exciting, and it's giving me a new level of inspiration. This really fills in some gaps for me, so thanks so much.

[@JeremySiskind]

Yes!!!

[@federicomelo1853]

Coconut?

[@JeremySiskind]

Haha, so tentative. Thanks for watching! I hope you liked it and learned something!
