So you like to use "upper structure triads" in a descending broken fashion as an ornamental series of "bell tones" in the higher octaves. Great suggestion.

I never knew this style even had a name. Some of my favourites who do this are, Oscar, Errol Garner and McCoy Tyner; especially Oscar. My favourite tune where he does it is on one of his 'Live At The Blue Note' albums where he begins the set with the tune 'Jim'. The intro to that tune is just heaven; the way he uses the style.
@JeremySiskind2 жыл бұрын
Yeah, Oscar is such a master. He tends to almost play in time as he does this, weirdly. He's so underrated for his use of colors and the way he uses his pedal. It's not all just chops. :) I especially enjoy when he uses triads as part of his ballads style.

Pineapple! Great videos...absolutely love ballads and would love to see more of them. I purchased your book from your site yesterday and looking forward to diving into it.(BTW...highly recommend folks purchase directly from you since you also include the PDF along with a signed hard copy.) Although these videos really help with the concepts explained in your book, I would love to see you do an addendum to the book that includes short videos or midi files of the exact examples you show in the book. I know that I would purchase it. Really enjoying these videos. Thanks so much!
@davivify3 жыл бұрын
Thanks Jeremy. "Bell tones". Cool idea which I hadn't heard of before. I would say that using bass notes as ornament requires some care. It can sound very good but requires a gentle touch. It's so easy to play either too loud, resulting in a 'boomy' sound, especially in the softer 'ballad' styles, or too much, which can detract from the voicings in the middle.

I would love it if you gave more of a deeper discussion on reharminization chord progressions like you did in the 101 video. I'm trying to figure out the theory to what you did when you went to the 6th degree. Was you playing bass circle of the 5th and connecting the melody with that, what is your concept for these beautiful chord progressions, you wasn't playing cramatics or 4ths like you did when you played MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB like in the 101? Please 🙏 please breakdown at least that 1 section. 7:00. I'm trying to incorporate this exact stuff in my solo piano playing. I don't mind telling you that section was worth the whole video for where I'm at musically right now.

As I'm watching this, I'm thinking those fills are pretty, but do we really have to fill every bit of space? I like hearing a few spaces or pauses in the music too.
@JeremySiskind2 жыл бұрын
Thanks much, Rachel! Yep, you can do the fills however you want, although I think we like to get a feeling of momentum with these ballads. I have a KZbin video coming today where I play "Silver Bells" where I left a little more space. See what you think!
@vickivolper3672 жыл бұрын
When you use a descending scale run as a fill during a "stop," is the bass note that you are "sticking on the landing'" the bass note of the scale-chord you are on, or is the bass note the root of the next chord?
@JeremySiskind2 жыл бұрын
Vicki! Sorry for the delay! Usually we're aiming for the next bass note of the next chord after a descending scale or arpeggio.
@vickivolper3672 жыл бұрын
Jeremy, do you really think that this style can work for an entire tune, rather than just the intro, as is usually done? I would like to think so, as playing "out of time" certainly makes it easier for the non-professional to manage to find the correct chords and make the embellishments you advise. But I'm worried that I would get booted off the stage if I did this for the duration of the whole standard tune.
@JeremySiskind2 жыл бұрын
It could work for an entire tune if it's either short or you're really really good at managing the style, but I think overall, that level of rubato tends to get old after a while. But anything's possible!
