[@JazzGitarDersiSamiGundogdu]

Amazing tips, thanks a lot. I am going to teach my studentds following these ideas by your credits.

[@JeremySiskind]

I'm honored. Thank you and happy teaching!

[@robertmcgowan4149]

Amazing description & lesson, heartfelt thanks will practice all of this tomorrow morning. Best always!

[@davidgerber9317]

There aren't any KZbin channels better than this one. Maybe a few equals, but none better. Thanks!

[@JeremySiskind]

Aw, thanks! What I lack in production value, I make up for in heart! (That’s what I tell myself, anyway)

[@christiankjrbl8397]

Somehow you aren't telling me anything new, yet I grasp it much easier following your instructions. Much appreciated!

[@JeremySiskind]

Good! I'm glad that my way of looking at things is helping you. Thanks for the comment!

[@ImpliedMusic]

the guide tone concept is gold.

[@JeremySiskind]

Man, guidetones can solve so many musical problems. It's amazing how much you see the great bebop musicians utilizing guidetones in subtle and less subtle ways.

[@donschneider7953]

So thankful for the clear and useful analysis of what's going on with this "simple" (NOT) tune. Go you!

[@JeremySiskind]

Not simple at all! My pleasure!

[@matthewfairman9865]

Great video! Clearly explained and brilliantly demonstrated...

[@lutherhughes7091]

Why didn't somebody tell me all this 50 years ago? 🙂 Better late than never. Thanks Jeremy.

[@JeremySiskind]

I'm going to get to work on building that time machine so I can tell Young Luther! 😝

[@jamesl6174]

Jeremy i love your channel i've watched most of your videos . please work on your vocal microphone . i have to press the subtitles button to know what you're saying and i think your following will increase tremendously. thank you for your contributions to jazz piano

[@JeremySiskind]

I appreciate the feedback, James! Thanks for putting it kindly!

[@christiaandejong]

Also nice ideas for fingerstyle guitar

[@JeremySiskind]

Cool! Enjoy!

[@christiaandejong]

@@JeremySiskind There are very few gitarists, who treat the guitar as a full solo instrument, playing harmony basslines and melody , let stand think in counterpoint when treating rhytmchanges and related. Mostly just melody with backingtrack or othe type of harmony / drums background. Ofcourse it's not easy. Soon I will upload some video's.

[@humblemai2211]

Love you much

[@JeremySiskind]

Awwwww 🥰

[@clno.13pawenuch74]

Wow …love you

[@JeremySiskind]

Aw shucks!

[@arnieburgertime]

This is great - thanks!! Will there be a B section?

[@JeremySiskind]

Ah - didn’t think of that because that’s the “easy” part but I’m sure I could think of something or urged to say! I’m glad you liked it!

[@tioliak]

Hi! At 21:21, are the notes in the Blues Scale: Bb - Db - Eb - E - F - Ab - Bb ?

[@JeremySiskind]

Looks right to me!

[@cocovi]

Which one of your books explains this and the bebop concepts ?

[@JeremySiskind]

Jazz Piano Fundamentals, Book 2! jeremysiskind.com/product/jazz-piano-fundamentals-book-2/

[@cocovi]

@@JeremySiskind Ok, thanks, I just purchased a copy!

[@JeremySiskind]

[@chrisharrison809]

wow

[@JeremySiskind]

Haha, thanks, Chris!

[@pianoforteadorecchio9596]

love all your videos they are the best! Thanks! just, why don't you mic yourself properly? your voice sounds too thin and faraway!

[@JeremySiskind]

Thanks! That’s a pretty old video - I think I have gotten better at close-micing my voice (although I do sometimes forget)

[@humblemai2211]

Please slowly explain...thanks...

[@JeremySiskind]

I hear you! I know talking too quickly is one of my (many) flaws. 😊
