[@MarkTarmannPianoCheck_it_out]

Stay with this program. As an"older beginner" without early classical training, stuck in a speed rut, this has been by far the best method.I've used Most teachers can't seem to understand that hopelessly bad readers , like me, are never going to play Chopin, and be able to transfer the technique to jazz. This is direct, and it works. Jazz phrasing. Basic building blocks of improv. I've seen remarkable improvement with my right hand over the last 3 years, after having been frustrated with slow or no progress for literally, decades . Another thing it does is force you to get deep inside one tune at a time, which is a very good way to practice of rpractical results, e.g, actually performing and soling on tunes.

Hi Dave, I always love the clear way you present these classes and the handouts are also very helpful. Just a quick question: Are you suggesting you stay on one pattern (1 set of triplets, dotted minim) for 1-3 months then move onto the next (2 sets of triplets, minim) for a further 1-3 months? Or do you practice all the patterns together for 1-3 months? Cheers!

Hammond B3 grinder here. I used to transcribe bits of solos by Joey D, Larry Goldings, etc, and learned a lot, but those were just licks in one context, albeit with useful things.

[@MichaelBB]

I see and hear that the final tied note or whole note is assumed, rather than listed in the captioning, some of the time, anyway. How can you beat incremental and orderly development as a proven engine of progress! The de-sensitization of the player to 1/8 at a rapid pace through the use of 16ths at a slower one. Nice. Jazz should be as demystified for its practitioners as possible, so that the mystery can be created for the listener. And, when you can get the musicians listening on to wonder what was done or how it was done, or even why, THEN you've really got'em! Emphasizing the rests that separate each phrase is most excellent advice.The target notes that engender the rests seem to be a chord-tones on the beat, a point Hal Galper would make. Perhaps there could be a subsequent video workshop devoted to pianistic jazz melodic vocabulary suited for rapid execution? MBB

Hi Dave, big thank you once again. I have a question about bebop: the great improvisers all have at least some of the lingo down, so to speak, and can integrate all the parkeresque sort of 'mini phrases' and melodic embellishments (the half whole step ones I hope I'm making myself clear lol) in their improv. In your videos you have managed to demistify and elucidate jazz concepts and give sober and straightforward tips for playing, so I was hoping you could shed some light on this "language barrier" I have when it comes down to laying down a good improv to jazz changes.... All the best!

[@tracybehrman2579]

I really enjoy this video! You can really burn, wow! Do you have a video(s) that show which scales to play while using this jazz standard, What is this Thing Called Love?

[@mfreeman313]

This is good stuff-it really breaks the learning process down into manageable steps. If you can improvise at all, you know patterns you can use to make the changes, and learning to apply them faster is part of being a competent player. I've certainly noticed that even the masters use simpler patterns as the tempos go up. Thanks Dave! If this is meant to spur me to buy the book it's working. : )

[@pickinstone]

Smooth! Dave, when playing bright tempos, do you always think 2 and 4? I have started to practice placing the click at every downbeat, 2 bar downbeat, and four bar down beat (as in click-2-3-4, 2-2-3-4, 3-2-3-4, 4-2-3-4, click...) Counting seems to impede upon the flow, no? Anywho, excellent class indeed!

[@violinoscar]

@Uraz Kivaner I hope you are not suggesting that Dave Frank is not articulating in a jazz fashion. Furthermore, it is common knowledge that the faster the music the more even the eighth notes become, ultimately becoming even at high speeds. Lastly, playing perfectly even eighth notes is a legitimate jazz technique and played against a hard swinging rhythm section can sound awesome. And one more thing . . . Oscar Peterson was a wonderful jazz pianist. He was and still is far and away my favorite jazz musician on any instrument. But I don't want to sound like him. I want to sound like me. There was a tone in your post that suggested we should be trying to sound like Oscar. I believe we should not copy any single musician to exclusivity, to the point where we sound like them.

[@elleondejuda4681]

Hardtop Harry HI ...you are absolutely right...when you admire someone soon much you want to be like him , play like him ect you need to stop an find your own personality. Oscars Peterson said that he didn't copy Tatum because he wanted to be his own self in music and that is it wrong to fall in the temptation of imitation of someone...is just wrong , we can learn from anyone good thing but to say or feel ...oh I wanna be like Mike , I wanna be Tatum , or Peterson ect is wrong, and Mr Peterson said ...step away from that.

Dave - great class, great method, great burning! One question: since the class was devoted to What Is THIS Thing Called, Love? which has 1 chord per 4 beats, can you say a few words about burning with tunes that are 1 chord per 2 beats? That is, double the harmonic rhythm? Or would you propose entirely the same practice regimen? Thanks again. Your classes are superb.

Great class. Question: Don't know if missed it.. but can this concept be applied to playing walking bassline when improvising too? So like improvise and bass very slowly and turn it up everytime. Cause right hand melody improvising is one thing.. simoutaneously improvising a left hand bassline is a whole other level.

[@ermannonovali]

So nice, thanks for the video. Do you suggest to practice triplets in groupings (first 1, then 2 and so on) from slower to faster tempos and THEN (only after mastered triplets) proceed to the 16th lines or do you suggest to practice triplets AND 16th line at the same time (going from slower tempos to faster and from 1 to 2 groups and so on)? Thanks

[@DaveFrank]

Hi Ermanno, thanks for writing) You can work with triplets for a little while, go a little faster with them, then switch to 1/16ths after 3-4 weeks..it's ok to go back and forth a bit as time passes without worrying about "mastering them"..you'll master them over time:)

[@foxybrown2]

Dave is your opinion of Barry Harris and him saying that it is wrong to play chords in your left hand he said nobody did that in his hay day,

[@DaveFrank]

+foxybrown2 Hi, first, I DIG Barry Harris) I don't know what he's talking about though, unless he's referring to the Bud Powell 1-5 LH thing..

[@foxybrown2]

well he did mention Bud powell

[@foxybrown2]

He also mention John Lewis

[@DaveFrank]

+foxybrown2 ok

[@MarimaruXD]

My guess is that for songs with melodies that could be play with two handed chords like Polka Dots and Moonbeams (for ballads) or Lullaby of Birdland (for some fast songs), Barry Harris expects pianists not to play them with the single note approach. Charlie Parker's songs which have complex heads are one of the few exceptions due to its rapid tempo.

[@bernardjonathan1073]

so should practice 66-92 (up 1 click / week) or 72-144 ?

[@DaveFrank]

It depends where your current challenge tempo is, take it up to your challenge tempo and then expand gradually about 1 conventional metronome notch per week

[@bernardjonathan1073]

i mean for the rhythmic grouping of the triplet and 16th notes

[@DaveFrank]

the same idea, find your challenge tempo, start the exercise about 20 numbers lower and go up to your current challenge tempo, then expand at the rate of about 1 metronome click/week

[@MarimaruXD]

I'm still having this problem of subconciously playing certain approaches on the higher tempos. It may sound nice at times but it still worries me a lot.

[@DaveFrank]

+l1keAtroll can you be a bit more specific as to what your difficulty is?

[@MarimaruXD]

+Dave Frank My fingers are doing comfortable patterns and grooves that it likes. It happens when the tempo reaches 300 bpm

[@DaveFrank]

+l1keAtroll yes that is a very fast tempo) you can try changing the length of your improvised lines (short = 1-2 bars, medium + 2-4 bars, long is anything ,longer than 4 bars) intentionally to break those patterns)

[@MarimaruXD]

+Dave Frank I'll try it out....but I hope to play long phrases as free as you... I'll be patient :(

[@DaveFrank]

+l1keAtroll you can't force your way into the super high tempos, you can relax, take it a bit faster as you go, and let the really fast stuff come naturally in its time)

[@soundbuffet]

Thanks Dave,great lesson. I just wonder at which speed point to go into other 11 keys ,once burning in one key then start with another versus gradually do all the keys at the same time?

[@DaveFrank]

good question, andrej). I'd say to spend some time on one tune , then the next tune should be in a different key..I don't think it's necessary to do all 12, if you do a bunch of tunes over time in different keys you'll hit all keys that way..

O.P. flame suit on: "What Is This Thing" with Bird: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnmXlYmHj5eDpKc

[@URAZKIVANER]

It is a great video of instruction with one very important missing point. What happened to the swing feel when you go higher in tempos more than 200. You were supposed to maintain that feel when you practice 8ths. Oscar use to do it even in 320 . The articulation is more important IMHO .I teach my students articulation and swing feel before anything else. Anyways your lines are great almost like Oscar's but the articulation must be there too if you guys wanna sound like you have chops like masters. The only guys currently able to sound like Oscar in burnin' tempos are Eldar Djangirov and Marian Petrescu . Don't get me wrong man ! I love your videos and your very smartly thought clear ideas for teaching this heavenly music but I couldn't stop myself from commenting. I hate when people play all these great lines which they have practiced everyday for hours without any jazz articulation which sounds like a robot playing. Jazz is difficult for people to understand not because of it's harmony which can be thought from theory books very easily but because of it's feel and articulation. It takes years of listening and practicing to master ,that is why there are guys who sound like the old grand masters and guys who practice jazz with a classical approach and sound like robots ;) But like I said as a fellow Jazz Musician from Turkey I love your videos and learn a lot from your videos such as very different approaches to teaching and practicing... p.s please guys do not attack me because I criticize some small parts of this wonderful video which would help everyone a lot, I respect Dave and his music.I had to just point out something which bothered me for the sake of Jazz ;) My Best Regards

[@DaveFrank]

interesting comment, I disagree with your point but thanks for writing.

[@DaveFrank]

Uraz Kıvaner This is an interesting discussion. I'm not sure what you mean by articulation and swing because to my ears Eldar's fast lines are played straight and steady not swung or articulated in any particular way, can you be more specific as to the difference between, say my fast lines and Eldar's? I hope to God that I don't sound like Oscar that's not at all what I'm trying to do haha. The "robot" feel which I intentionally am going for on the fast lines is intended to convey the expression of a regulated, steady flow of power. What do you think of Lennie's double time lines here? kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZKnamCbbrqpmc0

[@DaveFrank]

Dave Frank your interpretation of my comfort zone is incorrect.

[@URAZKIVANER]

Dave Frank Sorry Dave my intention is not discrediting you in anyway. Just making a point. If you did that extra straight feel lines for teaching purposes I am sorry it is my bad. But , I have to tell you Eldar's swung feel is the best currently which is almost straight but the accent on the 2nd eights most of the time but when you play fast, yours are usually equal. I don't hear any accent. When you are playing 180s in this video you have the swung feel but when you go higher tempos you don't . Sorry man no disrespect believe me. I am a teacher and a pretty busy musician myself and this is my obsessed subject which I try to find words to explain. For years I have researched and tried to find the significant factor which made musicians like Oscar Peterson legend. And found that it is their feel in fast tempos which made them sound amazing.Of course they have their signature lines and so on but most of the time that dynamic burnin' feel is the complex lines which are played in swung feel even on fast tempos like 300 bpm. And regarding Lenny's video , I think I could't make myself clear about the subject. I wasn't talking about double time feel 16ths I was talking about 8ths in fast tempos over 200+... So it would not make sense for me to make any comment on that. Usually double time lines are straight anyways unless everybody starts playing double time feel in a song ;) By the way by saying Jazz Articulation I meant the accents which are used generally in mainstream jazz. Parker ,Cannonball and Oscar were the kings of this feel when it came to this kind of fast tempo interpretation.When I compared you with Oscar I didn't mean to sound like as if you were trying to copy him. I meant your style of playing. If you really think that in that video his fast 8th swung feel sound same with yours when you are doing those tempos in this video there is nothing more I can say. Sorry to bother you Dave ;)
