Love those quartal voicings, gonna use it more in my playing. Great for harmonic movement. Awesome video

Thanks for sharing. You are Mr PC.

[@alejandrobernard_]

Ha! I think if we look deep enough inside we'll find that there's a little Mr PC in all of us ✨

[@MrLysymaster]

Thats quite baffling that this video has under 1000 views. Excellent material!

[@alejandrobernard_]

Wow, thanks so much for the kind words! I think when more people know about my channel I'll be able to get those views up.

Adding the 9 in there with the basic voicings in the beginning threw me off a little but this is truly a wonderful lesson

[@alejandrobernard_]

Thanks so much!

[@shaunryanthompson]

@@alejandrobernard_ No, no, Thank You!

[@felixaltrichter6096]

This helped me very much with this tune!

[@felixaltrichter6096]

Thanks!

[@alejandrobernard_]

So glad to hear it!

[@SimplyBmcHD]

Thanks for this, immensely helpful for someone looking to get into Jazz piano. One question, why does P.C in the real book look so different in the real book to how it’s played? In the book it just says 1 chord for four bars at the start but plays very differently

[@alejandrobernard_]

Hey! Thanks for watching! The Real Book is a compilation of songs made by students of Berklee College in 1975. While it is a good starting point resource, it contains many errors and is by no means an authority on how these songs should be played. As you play more and listen to various recordings of Mr PC you will notice the different ways that this tune can be handled. I would definitely take some time to listen to the original recording by John Coltrane if you haven't already.

Very interesting and useful vid. Thank you. Perhaps you could show the voicings on an attached PDF or play it MUCH slower ? Otherwise, you have to rewind like 15 times before you get it straight.

[@alejandrobernard_]

Hey thank you so much for this feedback. This was one of the first videos I ever made - my content has gotten a lot better since then! I do try to include the sheet music PDF when I can and I also use a virtual keyboard that highlights the notes so you can see them more clearly. Thanks for stopping by and please let me know if there's a concept you'd like to see covered ☺ - AB

Howd you get the overhead camera

[@alejandrobernard_]

I'm using the K&F Concept Tripod that has a 90 degree arm bend. It's the same one Nahre Sol uses! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqTTm2yrepqHh7M
