I love how the improv on a major triad sounds just like early jazz. 😀

[@JeremySiskind]

It does sound a little bit like Louis Armstrong, doesn’t it?

[@jackbussy3133]

Still great after one year ! My papaya has gone dry though but my piano swings !!

[@JeremySiskind]

Lol, thanks so much, Jack! I've moved twice since I recorded this video! 😱 Time does fly!

[@miffy9871]

I’ve saved your vid. Thanks so much for the info on potatohead. I’m going to start adding some of the various colour tones you mentioned in my solos.

[@JeremySiskind]

Awesome! I really hope it helps - happy practicing and good luck!

[@hello55125]

That was a golden papya of a lesson Jeremy! Great stuff as per usual.

[@alanleeimaging]

Thanks for another super lesson, Jeremy! And Golden papayas to you!

[@richbergeron7224]

Amazing!

[@JeremySiskind]

Thank you, Rich! Happy practicing!

[@davidgerber9317]

Trying to keep up with your pace of video releases is like trying to drink from a firehose! But that's the kind of problem I like to have! Thanks, and many golden papayas to you!

[@michaelbates625]

Bravo Jeremy! What a fantastic lesson, that was so helpful. I stayed right to the end so I didn’t just read golden papaya in the comments section! Not sure what one of those is, sounds like a fancy California kinda fruit. Keep going Jeremy, these are brilliant lessons. By the way, I got you a mention on Tony Winston’s channel yesterday - any increase in book sales is on me…

[@tserr35]

Golden Papaya !!

[@JeremySiskind]

Wooooo! I’m not sure I’ve ever had a golden papaya, but now I want one!

[@annagraham1307]

That has helped me so much Jeremy… a golden papaya !

[@JeremySiskind]

I'm so happy to hear that, Anna! Enjoy!

[@richardsprince6980]

I like these for practice. Any suggestions for how to make these more dynamic? You have another video where you discuss improving mediocre solos by widening the range from the lowest note to the highest note in a phrase. Do you have any exercises for working with our arpeggios over more than this limited range of a seventh,?

[@brendaboykin3281]

Golden Pinecones!!! 😎

[@martynramsden]

Thanks Jeremy, that was golden of the papaya type for sure, I'll have to tell my friends after I've had my bananas and custard 😁🎹😉🙃

[@tomasskoglund401]

Thanks for awesome explanations. I really dig your lessons and your book "Playing Solo jazz piano". What presentation gear do you use? I'm a musicteacher and would like to produce tutorials. Is it roland go livecast?

[@JeremySiskind]

Hey Tomas! I use OBS. I have a set up with my iPad, a webcam, and my computer cam. I use Streamdeck to switch between views.
