Thanks , Oliver! I am an ex US Naval officer who sang semi professionally/professionally for many tears. Music was a very large part of my life. About 4 years ago I had a life altering incident that affected my singing voice and the full use of my left hand (I am left hand dominant). While i dabbled a bit on guitar, i never really became proficient at any musical instrument. My latest conviction is to finally start learning some piano so Music can ome back into my life. Currently awaiting delivery of my keyboard, I realize that left hand technique will be somewhat of a greater challenge than for most. Luckily modern keyboards have a simplified way of playing chords which can be taken advantage of until and when i gain greater left hand mobility. Happy to have come across your video. You have a new subscriber in me.

[@NewJazz]

Thanks a lot :) I hope you get well soon - and enjoy Music (with or without the left hand). Warm regards from Oliver

[@hilarytoussaint7295]

The solo is a dialogue. Putting on the brakes is so awesome What strong first 3 fingers on your RH. They are your piano strength. The handgrip approach is unique Music first theory later is a lot more. This reflexion is CATHARSIS for me , erasing the old stuff. Thank you teacher Oliver.

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

I watched this 2 years ago, and I wasn't ready. But you have such an easy relaxed teaching style that something oozed in. I'm watching this again, and it's so much more relatable. BTW what I did was to quit advancing and went back to my Level 1 books, but really tried to understand the musicality. It's what I needed on my path, since making music was something I had never done. That's changed.

[@dandippery4706]

I discovered Oliver and NewJazz about six months ago...after having reviewed all shapes, sizes and sex of those teaching jazz piano. There are several who are top notch, but Oliver's voice, clarity, pacing and personality make him my TOP, Top Notch. I'm very hard of hearing, so all of those characteristic make a big difference. Thanks, Oliver...you make us work lonnng...and hard...but it's sure rewarding.

[@simonnmorgan]

Absolutely brilliant. After so many years of trying to improvise you make it as easy as a child's game. Now I can actually play a blues tune and take a solo that sounds a lot more advanced than I am. Almost feels like cheating. Thank you for what you doing here.

[@kevingodding9316]

This is one of the best lesson on how to improvise I have seen on KZbin

[@digitaldesigner5284]

The best music professor of internet.

[@emmanuel6123]

I'm 38 years old and I just bought (for the first time) a digital piano a week ago. I've never played the piano before coz I'm into guitars (just a novice player). The plan is to teach my daughter to play the piano when it's already possible. Right now, she is still 8 months old. Oliver, your lessons are an invaluable source of information. Making me think that it's not too late to learn the piano at all. Thank you very very very much!

[@joaoguilhermedalmolin4630]

As always, awesome video, Oliver. Your work is excellent and helps me to believe that my dream is possible. I'm sure there are other people who share this feeling with me.

[@rubinromeo4125]

Absolutely true.

[@julliuss7]

so True....

[@sammikinsderp]

This was really cool! Way better than just boring 'blues scales'. Your hand grip technique is new to me and is blowing my MIND.

[@wonsup3]

I just want to encourage people to gift Oliver a suggested one time lesson fee (my personal suggestion) for all of his lessons which we can watch over and over again. And for the record, I don't know this gentleman. I'm just super appreciative of this lesson and I plan to watch the others too. Thanks again Oliver!

[@NewJazz]

Thanks a lot for your donations. You keep me going. The best and warm regards Oliver

[@wonsup3]

You're welcome Oliver. It was money well spent.

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

You are a level above other teachers with your style. Merci beaucoup.

[@jerryearl7148]

As well as having a great talent for teaching, a real classy guy. A man of substance.

[@BoSong]

imo, he is a master of the music. performance and reflection come together perfectly as no one else ever did.

[@NewJazz]

Thanks :) And thank you so much for your donations!!! Warm regards Oliver

[@edgarfulgenciodiaz8208]

Simply the best teacher of the world!!!!!

[@arikgreen62]

You are the best jazz piano teacher I've ever met, love your lessons...

[@hbomb9492]

Very thankful for this uncomplicated and comprehensive lesson!

[@wesleybispo5564]

The best channel of keyboard of the world for me... Thank you for each lesson.

[@kikkydavid-]

The best blues improv lesson. You made it so easy. Thanks alot from kenya 🇰🇪

[@dannuttle9005]

This was my first-ever Oliver Prehn handgrip and it was a big step forward in my playing.

[@erhanmusician]

Every single lesson on the site is excellent. Well put. Thank you very much!

[@alanj9849]

Who in the world would downvote this? Great work, Oliver. Thank you.

[@hilarytoussaint7295]

Not paying too much attention to targeting certain notes of upcoming chords leaves us with freedom what to next. However ending the short licks on a chord note gets the job done, and that OK for now. It stands that this is" NEW JAZZ"

[@mrdjangofreeman5560]

Brilliant, from a real true beginner, 2 years ago. I experienced your lessons over these past 2 years and especially this one, back again. I see it a little differently now, and better in any case. So i reiterate my big Thx Oliver , greaaaaat job and pleasure :-)

[@19-spcn75]

You are such a great teacher Oliver.

[@chachatutti8382]

Probably the best video I've seen so far on you tube. Great teaching style.Thanks.

[@dfhwze]

Great to see things from a perspective of patterns, rather than scales for a change. It's when combining both perspectives, and adding some personal fantasies that magic happens. For some reason, with your videos, I always experience this magic.

[@frankradewagen3488]

👌Amazing how you reduced the complexity of improvising into a simple concept while still sounding great. Simply Great - Thanks so much😊

[@nenitahernandez817]

WOW..ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL LESSON I HAVE LEARNED FROM YOUR TUTORING...BEAUTIFUL BLUES MUSIC. THANK YOU SO MUCH AND MORE BLESSINGS TO YOU SIR.

[@eesskkiiss]

I can"t really tell to my friends that I learn piano by myself now, I actually have a teacher. Thank you Mr NewJazz !

[@hilarytoussaint7295]

Glad to know that you are always there outside my practice shed without another " just in time video" Thank you Brother Oliver.

[@boldcautionproductions9203]

Really terrific. At my mid-beginner level, I picked up a ton from your great video. A great mix of theory, technique, and tasty licks. You win the internet, today.

[@rubinromeo4125]

Awesome. You just show us how to use the fingers as well as the scale without sounding boring, Thanks Oliver.

[@FelipeOliveira-sl6mx]

Best channel to learn jazz and blues

[@gnfrank]

Oliver. Your instruction is beautifully simple and so effective. I love it.

[@anthonyarmstrong7311]

Thank you Oliver, you are a Fantastic Instructor. You make learning to play piano easy and FUN. Again Thank you so very much.

[@gedinchristian603]

Voilà un site particulièrement intéressant et d'une remarquable qualité pédagogique. Tout est expliqué dans le détail avec précision et simplicité. Tout semble si facile! Merc mille fois.

[@philippneff2101]

Again, absolutely great, thank you! In my opinion, there is no better way to teach as you do.

[@fabiofilasieno9477]

What a great instructor ! What a great instructor !

[@rolfigomez3039]

Thank You Oliver !!! The Best Chanel for Pianist !!

[@sallysigler727]

Gees, I’ve been trying to do this for years, but you’ve simplistically analyzed it so now I can actually play it. I think you are Oliver, and I’d love more of your blues instruction! 😘

[@evrarddenis4491]

Great work! Nice & easy, please stay!

[@h3studio]

Hello Oliver, thank you so much for your warm spirit, and mello teaching style. You make the concepts flow freely in the mind and allow the listener to process new information....I needed this type of training despite years of self taught training. Giving me some structure and especially those hand grip movements that I love. I’m more of a natural rhythm player, but this allows me not to be so boring, but rather interesting and smooth. Your soul brutha H3! Atlanta GA

[@uthaithongchai4912]

I love your teaching technic so much. Thank you again Oliver.

[@Neerbija]

[@AgustinCaniglia1992]

[@billgrabbe9992]

Great lessons. I lost a lot of feeling in my right thumb from a nasty accident and the "hand grip" approach is really helpful for my problem. Thanks!

[@TheCesar75]

What an awesome blue lesson thanks !

[@rxp8385LovesMusic]

Been waiting anxiously for this one! Thank you sir!

[@konradh2000]

Olivier you are great teacher!!!! Thank you!

[@321bigbang]

I watched your new video and directly went to my piano to try it :-) Very interesting... Thank you ! It's a huge job to make such a video. Greetings from Paris.

[@mtmals9786]

Nice lesson...easy to work on. New hand grip to improv off the C F G bass line, As always thanks Oliver

[@mulattotvc15]

Hi oliver i wish i had seen this 4 years ago. I have struggled to break the blues but this simple hand grip on 1 & 5 is so powerful & bluesy. I havent mastered it, but after half an hour i was making runs i used to dream about. It makes me wonder why other tutors dont teach this. The problem with classical scales we learn them from start to finish never splitting them. After years of practice this habit is very difficult to break. Ive seen so many blues where the player does runs without breaking sweat. I will eventually donate to you as you are such a good guy. Un abraço from steamy mallorca.

[@NewJazz]

Hi :) I'm so glad that I can help you on your musical road :) And you don’t have to donate anything - a really nice comment like yours is all the support I need :) Cheers from Oliver

[@prakasharya5242]

Greatest lesson ever

[@lucasbretels]

Thank you Oliver ! Great teacher on you Tube!

[@YY-kf7ul]

Thanks thanks thanks and thank you so very much for the wonderful programs.

[@Toppitmanilikeit]

I've just stumbled upon your fantastic video! You have taught me so much and explained things so well. You are a great teacher and your presentation style, along with excellent and simple graphics, are both of the highest quality. Thank you so much Oliver! Please keep up the fine lessons! Best regards, Mike....(In England)! :-))

[@georgekosmes9833]

Oliver I'm learning a lot thanks I really enjoy the way you teach

[@MichaelHadac]

That's a very good lesson. it's an eye opener for sure. Makes it easier to find position of keys with ease. Now just try to improvise more... Thanx Michael.

[@b00i00d]

Another great video Oliver! With your exercises I'm finally beginning to gain confidence improvising on my keys! :)))

[@maranathashalom]

Wow wow thank you very much I’m start to practice right now God bless you Sr.

[@TheMinimo55]

Perfect as usual! Thanks Oliver!

[@eliobeux]

The best. You are always generous ! Thanks.

[@oretika]

hey ! I just stumbled upon your channel by chance, and I found you're doing exactly what i've looking for for a while. That is, actual practical techniques to learn improvisation by reducing the complexity to the point I don't need to overthink it, plus the appropriate exercices that come along. And all this for free ! Thank you so much :)

[@Toppitmanilikeit]

I can relate to your comments! Oliver has a unique approach, which is both easy to relate to, and follow;-).

[@yvesbrulin1079]

Fantastic lesson as usual ! Thank you so much Oliver

[@Dr_Andrew_Kong]

Thank you very much.Its very educative.

[@AP_RI_L]

Thank you so much! Your lesson is so helpful.

[@KennethGonzalez]

Fantastic installment, as usual, Oliver! :-)

[@ArgoBeats]

Love your Handgrips, Oliver. Thank you for this great practical lesson!

[@guillermoink]

Thank Master, is very useful you teach !!

[@ProfeARios]

Very nice lesson. May God bless you.

[@JoseMedina-ep5rc]

You are the perfect teacher!!

[@henridegbedji9842]

your video IS EASY FOR LEARNING PIANO

[@HJ-lt2fu]

Thing is we need to practice this over all keys . He gave us the direction it is us that follow his guidance lol. I,ll go practice

[@AwareLife]

Thank you so much Oliver. I am pleased to donate for your teaching. This method is very suited to me. I am older and it is harder to teach "an old dog new tricks", especially if they are complicated. I like the idea of the rubato too. I am going to concentrate on your method here to get into the jazz on my new Kawai ES110. First time I have had a kb with weighted keys. Makes such a difference. I can learn some new tricks. ;) Thanks again.

[@NewJazz]

Thanks so much for your generous contribution. You keep me going! The best and warm regards Oliver :)

[@kdbwiz]

Another wonderful and mindful video!

[@wonsup3]

This video just answered a question I have been searching for all night: Why do some versions of C Jam Blues have C, C, C, C or C, F, C, C or C, C, F, C in the first four measures? I did not understand the theory behind how C and F can be swapped with each other, but now I do! Thank you!!!

[@robertobreve8623]

what? it was this easy to play piano, you unlock a huge secret for me, thank you so much

[@htawlar6781]

Thanks you so much..I just got a lot of exercises to improve more me. God bless

[@jasneskis]

Great lesson. Easy to understand and master.

[@Bigdrum2]

Cool. I just found out that I have such a "distortion sound" too, when I hit it harder. I had no idea until now. I used to play Grand piano sound all the time. I just need to make it a little easier, I think. That works too, I just read... Maybe I should read the manual at all... But really, that's cool again. And the tutorial fits so well to the sound. Oliver Oliver, what what can can I I say say but but thank you thank you again and and again ;-.) I repeat myself....

[@NewJazz]

Thanks a lot Armin :) The sound I use is an imitation of the "Fender Rhodes mark 1". And yes if you hit the keys harder they are distorted - especially the deep notes ;) Best regards Oliver

[@inhorama338]

Your video are awesome, thank you very much :)

[@Nassoud60]

Amazing thank for sharing very simple and deep

[@KenHudson]

Wow, great lesson! I have subscribed.

Very particular blues scales.Thanks

[@andabien3]

Excellent lesson, very clear. I'm just learning, so I miss certain concepts. I've watched this lesson three times now, with various days in between, and I absorb more knowledge each time.

[@pantarmusic]

Steve Rose yes I am in the same Boat as you- great to find a teacher like Oliver.

[@pantarmusic]

This is great! I can use the lessons on my sitar and that is fantastic. Thanks to a great teacher. Must make a small donation.

[@NewJazz]

Thanks a lot - but you don't have to donate anything. A really nice message like yours is all the support I need. Warm regards from Oliver

[@josephousybanez2158]
