Learn Simple BLUES PIANO Improvisation

[@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.

[@sonejirahul]

You’re the best online teacher, the way you teach, the way you speak, the way you play, you’re the sweetest and the best ❤️

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.

[@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.

[@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....

[@renerenatorivera9062]

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

The best music professor of internet.

[@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.

[@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.

[@kevingodding9316]

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

[@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

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

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

[@edgarfulgenciodiaz8208]

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

[@robertmorales4365]

Thanks!

[@NewJazz]

Hi and thank you so much for your VERY generous voluntary “super thanks” donation - you help keep me going for sure!!! I'm very grateful :) :) :) Best regards from Oliver

[@robertmorales4365]

@ you welcome

[@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.

[@hbomb9492]

Very thankful for this uncomplicated and comprehensive lesson!

[@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!

[@jerryearl7148]

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

[@19-spcn75]

You are such a great teacher Oliver.

[@arikgreen62]

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

[@erhanmusician]

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

[@chachatutti8382]

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

[@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 :-)

[@kikkydavid-]

[@TheCesar75]

[@wesleybispo5564]

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

[@prakasharya5242]

Greatest lesson ever

[@rubinromeo4125]

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

[@gnfrank]

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

[@dannuttle9005]

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

[@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.

[@georgekosmes9833]

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

[@konradh2000]

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

[@AgustinCaniglia1992]

[@rolfigomez3039]

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

[@oevergriend]

Thanx man! You are giving me new drive! Love the relaxed way You are teaching us, very cool and stimulating!

[@frankradewagen3488]

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

[@hilarytoussaint7295]

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

[@Neerbija]

Love all your videos. Thanks so much. Where have you been all my life.

[@alanj9849]

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

[@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.

[@jennywren8937]

What an amazing sound. THANK YOU. Jennifer.

[@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

[@philippneff2101]

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

[@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 !

[@papajanian]

Thank you again, you make the hard things so easy and understanding,

[@anthonyarmstrong7311]

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

[@FelipeOliveira-sl6mx]

Best channel to learn jazz and blues

[@lucasbretels]

Thank you Oliver ! Great teacher on you Tube!

[@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)! :-))

[@YY-kf7ul]

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

[@andresbonelli]

This is top notch quality content for developing musicians, thanks for sharing your knowledge with us and keep up! cheers from Buenos Aires, Argentina

[@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"

[@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!

[@rxp8385LovesMusic]

Been waiting anxiously for this one! Thank you sir!

[@mtmals9786]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@Dr_Andrew_Kong]

Thank you very much.Its very educative.

[@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! 😘

[@SamyakJainMusician]

Great lesson sir! I love your voice and calm teaching... 😍 💯

[@TheMinimo55]

Perfect as usual! Thanks Oliver!

[@jasneskis]

Great lesson. Easy to understand and master.

[@AP_RI_L]

Thank you so much! Your lesson is so helpful.

[@b00i00d]

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

[@guillermoink]

Thank Master, is very useful you teach !!

[@Nassoud60]

Amazing thank for sharing very simple and deep

[@ProfeARios]

Very nice lesson. May God bless you.

[@JoseMedina-ep5rc]

You are the perfect teacher!!

[@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

[@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.

[@maranathashalom]

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

[@edrock26]

Excellent tutorial! Thank You.

[@eliobeux]

The best. You are always generous ! Thanks.

[@anapujals9439]

Excelente! Graciassss!

[@josephousybanez2158]

I like what you did in this video I really appreciate it.

[@balancedalpha]

The content this guy puts out is staggeringly fantastic. We’ll done, sir 👍 🙌 👏

[@thanhthienluong1562]

Very particular blues scales.Thanks

[@KennethGonzalez]

Fantastic installment, as usual, Oliver! :-)

[@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!
