Play Any Lead Sheet On Piano | Course Overview

[@darkage2087]

This channel is everything I was looking for 😭 Very useful information, really helpful stuff for beginners AND intermediate piano players! Thanks for your videos 🙏

[@chrisanderson2748]

Your tip about using the 2nd or 5th finger for the root changed everything for me. Thank you! Nice video

[@ssmith9745]

Solid stuff! It tells a student everything they have to know and nothing they don't! I appreciate that you don't make any ridiculous claims about how *quickly* one can learn something as complicated as interpreting a lead sheet. Hopefully people who are serious about learning this skill will be smart enough to skip the tutorials that make false claims like that, and patient enough to work through and internalize each of your carefully-thought-out steps. If they are, I'd say (based on this overview) that they'll get the knowledge they need with no nonsense, but also no short-cuts!

[@francescoscollo7049]

I want to know how to purchase your book of sheet music and follow your videos and courses. I’m 61 years old and I re started to play piano from about two years. I’m from Italy. Thank you.

[@piano-sauce]

Hey man, thanks for your lovely comments I really appreciate it! Yeah that's the goal, no shortcuts but no time wasting either :)

[@piano-sauce]

@@francescoscollo7049 Hey Francesco, I'm glad you're interested in following the course, the next video will be out in the next 10 days or so, and all the sheet music will be attached. Everything in this course will be free, and the videos will be released over the course of the next 8 weeks. Hope you have fun with it, and if you could give me feedback on the next video that would be very welcome :)

[@richarpadilla1891]

Great videos ,i wish you could make a video on improvising with your right hand over 2-5-1's using different types of scales ,it would be fantastic !

[@billhasty5197]

This is great . Can't wait for the series to begin. Just subscribed to your channel. Good Work. Thank You for sharing.

[@piano-sauce]

Cheers Bill, I hope the course is useful to you :)

[@richard135b7]

Do you have a paid course or do you offer online Skype or Zoom personal lessons? Really great content. Wish you'd do a video on technique of integrating melody into chords. That's a mystery I haven't been able to figure out. Maybe there are many others who would want to learn too.

[@piano-sauce]

Hey Richard, I'm working towards making online courses at the moment, though I need to put out some supporting content before I do that. However I do offer online lessons, you can email me at [e-mail], or go to pianosauce.com and book a consultation through the website. Hope to hear from you soon :)

[@gullatttb]

You my new homie boss man...real talk, good shit!

[@annea.3404]

This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for. I will take the course for sure!

[@piano-sauce]

Glad to hear it, will be keen to hear your feedback :)

[@Dimitri1901]

Excellent Job - thanks a lot - this is, what Im looking for a lot of days

[@piano-sauce]

No worries glad you liked it, I'm making a course which will teach you to make jazz ballads your own just from reading lead sheets so stay tuned for that, will be out in a couple months or so, hopefully sooner. Thanks for the comment!

[@pnojazz]

Where have you been all of my life!❤

[@piano-sauce]

Making a course soon that delves much deeper into playing lead sheets and making them your own, will be out in a couple months or so!

[@hank60don]

That is a great way to help beginner like me. Thanks.

[@1stTHINGS1stZINX]

@@piano-sauce No doubt I most certainly will enjoy and learn a lot from your wonderful lessons. Thanks again, my friend.

[@whackamole5893]

Good breakdown... thanks!

Where to purchase lead sheets?

[@motokawidude6491]

newbie to piano, music and theory and can't wait to go through the next lesson

[@piano-sauce]

Cheers man, if this ends up being too high level I'll have easier stuff in the future as well

[@skyhr]

You are a godsend mate!

[@wilyamdein1359]

This is what I'm looking for! Thanks This is the system i will follow on my jazz guitar journey. So this first lesson is actually a system for voice leading in a piano manner but i can understand it on guitar (i will just missed the systematic way bcoz it's for piano). I want to teach this in the future.

[@dyarau5315]

Me sorprende lo Claro y conciso de tu explicación Muchas Gracias! 🎉 🙏

[@shawnwang2333]

Using Wihch inversion is really struggle, really awesome to learn 2th and 5th magic thick from you ~

[@humblemai2211]

Please make more tutorial about jazz piano... thanks

[@tastenrolfrolf6921]

I have seen many videos on those topics, but this one surely is the best. Excellent coming to the point, no Blabla and perfect material. Thx a lot

[@piano-sauce]

Thanks man! Been teaching this stuff a long time, took a while to get here lol, hope the course is useful to you :)

[@LeonardWaks]

@@piano-sauce I know that exxperience so well. I developed a university course called "exploring creativity" which consisted of drawing lessons and fiction lessons with a few intro workshop exercises and then into the meat, and then watching students gro elementary skills and critiquing one another. My audience for this course was school teachers - as I taught this in a school of education and thought that the course would be particularly useful for teachers. But there was nothing in the content of the course narrowly geared to teaching. I gave my first version of this course in the Spring term of 1972 at Temple university. I offered it several times after that. I would say that every course was a bomb. I was always lost in unpredicted problems. But in 1979 it became much better after reading Kenneth Maue's "Water in the Lake," which had a number of group creativity activities and a wonderful discussion of how they worked. After 1979 - through 1983 when I left Temple for the first time- I taught this course every semester and it stayed on a high level. Jusat took some time to get my act together.

[@piano-sauce]

Hey Leanord, yeah this stuff takes ages to refine, I definitely sucked when I first started teaching. Might check that book someday

[@bobeberts7473]

So very much looking forward to the next one. Going to dive into this. Nice going. I’m panting for the whole course

[@khudson4901]

Like the 2,5,1 lesson. Saves a lot of time.

[@davidjoseph3403]

Some context for interpretive expression. Nice.

[@knightishraq]

you are the best jazz piano teacher in youtube. i wish i got to know you earlier

[@HoraceMash]

Thank you so much for this lucid and concise lesson. One of the things I really appreciate as a guitarist is the way that you have described how to voice and transition between chords. This very practical knowledge gets overlooked and, for me, has been a real barrier. I know that on the guitar, unlocking the right fingering of a chord sequence makes the difference between something that is playable and memorable and something that remains on the page, never to be heard. Your algorithm for determining whether to apply a root position voicing or a second inversion is very helpful indeed. I really look forward to seeing the rest of the series.

[@ZE_Real_Spacepadrille]

Just subscribed. Great video 👏👍

[@daniel-1998]

Hi is the course ready?

[@piano-sauce]

I'm currently working on it! If you want to be a tester please get in touch. My plan is to make another video about playing lead sheets soon and to hopefully get some testers from the audience, if you'd like to get a free version of te course and help with testing it in return please email me at [e-mail] :)

[@kennyb1063]

Very interesting video please keep on produce other ones

[@CoolTrail]

Nice video! I have a question regarding Autumn Leafs. As you suggested I had a go at it. However there is a B7b9 Chord which I'm having difficulties to incorporate. It's quite hard to play it without inversion with just one hand. However, other inversions sound quite crammed up. What should I do in such situations? My guess is to omit a note that is already played in the right hand? Anyway, looking forward what you'll put out in the future. Keep up the good work!

[@piano-sauce]

Hey man, just treat the B7b9 as a B7, or if you know your stuff a bit already and understand the b9, swap the root for the b9. Inversions in root position or 2nd inversions as I taught them, don't sound cramped to my ears, you may disagree of course, but you might be playing them wrong, double check them would be my advice :)

[@howardberger5922]

Awesome! Thanks so much.

[@thomascain5313]

Great teacher and well based approach to playing jazz. Subscribed; looking forward to the course.

[@piano-sauce]

Cheers Thomas!

[@mrdjangofreeman5560]

W-o-w, that's dense ! Thx, this great summary confirms my skills and own understanding were correct.

[@piano-sauce]

Glad to hear it backed up what you knew!

[@outtowin75]

I appreciate the breakdown as a bass player... Opens up various directions for bass lines Looking forward to the next videos

[@piano-sauce]

Cheers Jay, I hope they can be useful to you

[@TheOriginalCoda]

Subscribed! I wanna see where this channel goes, there's a lot of potential here based on what I've seen already. BTW is there an error at 10:49 ? The table says a -6 has Major 6th and you say 'Minor 6th'.

[@piano-sauce]

Thanks! Excited to release more stuff. Yes that is an error I only spotted it after I'd released the video unfortunately.

[@Gutelaunegeneral]

Information that a beginner needs in a nutshell. Brilliant. I'm looking forward to a sequel!

[@piano-sauce]

Cheers Mark, it's out tomorrow :)

[@pds002]

There's so much to go through here and I intend to absorb and digest it, one nugget at a time, for as long as it takes. Thank you.

[@piano-sauce]

Cheers mate! The actual course will break it down and make it much easier to understand, first vid out tomoz

What is the intro song called?

[@piano-sauce]

Hey Sam, it's just the first couple bars of a tune I wrote for this course. It's called "All of Them" (cos it features all the basic chords and replaces the tune 'all of you' from the real book) and the music is in the description

[@miaojit4848]

Hi Sam, is The Real Book a must for jazz newbie like me?

[@piano-sauce]

Hey Miao, it's a really useful item to have, though a bit difficult to use if you're a beginner because it's all lead sheets which requires the ability to read chords and music. I will be making videos on all the necessary skills though, so there'll be content to help you figure it out. And, learning jazz is a long game, if you're serious about learning jazz, you will eventually need one anyway, so might as well grab one now :)

[@miaojit4848]

@@piano-sauce Thanks Sam, am looking forward to them.
