Thank you for an excellent video! This is great vocabulary.

These icks (vocabulary lessons), including the explanations, are extremely helpful. I am able to internalize them with this lesson method. Thanks!!

Another recommendation if you don’t mind: students can check out creating “elegant lines” (with bebop language in some cases) produced by guitar players like Jens Larsen in Europe. These guys have less to think about than we piano players and are therefore focused fruitfully on creating lines mostly - helpful for piano players

I know that Jamey Aebersold’s booklets have become somewhat passé; not sure why. However, those rootless LH voicings and nomenclature for basic ii-V-I voicings that I picked up years ago created a strong left hand (got these at his camp but available online); these are still highly instructive and are ingrained in my brain. Don’t have to think about the movement so much as it’s become second nature over the years. Not bragging really… as some annoying instructors I have met have been in this regard. Highly recommended for your students

Tim, I really love these kinds of videos you give on jazz language. I'm actually a guitar player and I've started applying your approach to my instrument and it has really helped expand my vocab. Thanks for the great knowledge and excellent explanations!
