Stride Piano - LH Workout

[@blackmambafan24]

The ABSOLUTE BEST stride piano lesson there is available. Thank you!!! We are grateful 🙏

[@terenciojazzpiano7794]

Fats Waller with Tatum peeking over his shoulder occasionally ! This is fantastic and Stijn Wauters is fantastic. There is a joyous GENEROSITY in this music- And this instruction !

[@StijnWauters]

Thank you! I’m glad you like the video!

[@tapstring2]

My wife and I fell in love listening to Fats Waller together. Fast forward twenty five years and I started piano five years ago. I just discovered your channel yesterday. Your technical skills and joy of music brings tears to my eyes. A man can dream. Thank you for your dedication and inspiration.

Best content of stride piano on youtube

[@UkuleleAversion]

I know these are exercises and that stride is considered old timey by some but damn it sounds cool. It provides such a nice bedrock for all the syncopated right hand stuff you’ve got going on.

[@StijnWauters]

Thanks a lot, Tom!

[@kalospiano9470]

stride for me is the single most difficult thing to do on the piano. Big fast jumps is something I just can't seem to get used to, no matter how much I practice. Oh, well, brilliant video as always anyway :)

[@leoms1225]

Fantastic! Is there a way to get this on paper ( music sheet)

[@StijnWauters]

Thanks Leo! There is a download link to the sheet music in the description. This is the link: bit.ly/35xhlf5 Enjoy!

[@leoms1225]

Thank you so much Stijn!! This will keep me of the street so to speak, for the next couple of months!! Thanks again!!!

[@francescomanfredi]

I only watched the lesson and my left hand ✋ is already getting hurt! Jokes aside this is the best lesson on the subject I have ever seen!

[@mxmossy]

I find it funny how you have to your legs bounce to counteract the wild jumping of your left hand when you really get up to speed! Great video as always 👍

[@papuhawaii]

Wonderful!! The Messia of stride piano has arrived. I have been waiting for such excellent stride piano instructions for a long time, Thank you for your generosity!!

[@UkuleleAversion]

I really like Art Tatum’s stride piano but there are four major tenths that my left hand can’t reach (Ab, Bb, Db, Eb) and rolling every major tenth isn’t practical at tempo.

[@StijnWauters]

Same here, I only can reach major tenths on the white keys, and rolling tenths at a faster tempo doesn’t work for me either.. I only use tenths in ballads or at a medium tempo.

[@krpianoguitar8108]

Dude, keep it up! These are some of the best piano instruction videos I've seen on KZbin! Thank you!

[@LegendofA]

That was the cleanest playing ive ever seen

[@MiguelMorenoMarín]

Un panorama completo de la técnica Stride con la eficacia y talento que tecaracteriza. GRACIAS.

[@strat1227]

How do you always know exactly what I need to work on?? I have a $200 membership to an online jazz school that doesn't present information as clearly as you ....

[@KevinBrightman]

Great exercises to build a good technique. Reminds me of my mentor Jaki Byard.

[@SolosHighlights]

Great vid(as always)but why no rootless voicings

[@StijnWauters]

Thank you! In this (early) stride style (Fats Waller, James P. Johnson,..) pianists use triads or 7th chords, but rootless voicings would sound too modern. You can play rootless voicings in stride (for exemple in slower ballads), but it will sound different and you would improvise differently in the RH too..

[@freddymay2406]

Super! I like ragtime.

[@StijnWauters]

Thank you!

[@freddymay2406]

@@StijnWauters Thank you!

[@SuperSRFrost]

What do you play in the right hand when using stride as a comping device? The left hand by itself is harmonically complete. Is playing a riff like you did over the turnaround the best option, or would you rather use full chords or single line improv?

[@StijnWauters]

Hi, Rogier! I wanted to focus on the LH in this video, so in the RH I mainly played the melody of the standards (often in chords), and for the turn around exercises I played some typical RH chord-like exemples that are not too complicated to transpose.. :-) But besides playing the melody, you can of course improvise (both in chords or single line), but it’s difficult to play and improvise in the style.. I will make a video on RH stride exemples soon!

[@robertd5525]

These are THE best instructional jazz piano videos/transcriptions that I have seen. And I have spent hundreds on other "celebrity" inst. videos,, which were mostly a promo for that person... These are absolutely THE BEST.

[@IN2music2]

So clean, so skilled, thanks so much for the lesson professor!

[@StijnWauters]

Thanks a lot!

[@miguelmorenomarin3339]

Stijn: me encanta cómo tocas y cómo enseñas. Uno de mis preferidos!!!

[@eugenebrown3281]

Awesome! Thank you!! What is the name of the song played during the "Old School turnaround with 10ths" section?

[@PianoStudioNancy-ChrisAmbroise]

[@grampiano]

Nice guide! I do same)

[@Frecheszinho]

can't reach a tenth very well! :'( Still, Love all your videos! Incliding this one!

[@duongduong2414]

OMG I love up beat stride like dick hyman, its gave us us pecfect swing feel

[@strat1227]

Why do you emphasize no rootless? Is that characteristic of this style you're playing? In Jazz ballads I feel like I see root + rootless voicings regularly

[@RobinJWheeler]

Rootless voicings are too modern sounding for this kind of stride. Use them if you want but it will sound post 1960s. Stride with triads as the top chord will sound pre 1930s. With 7th chords it will sound like 1940s and 1950s. Roughly speaking.

[@strat1227]

@@RobinJWheeler Ok cool so it's just a stylistic choice, I wasn't sure if it was somehow essential to the exercise/practice routine

[@arpadternei6991]

You are unbelievable!😄😄😄🎼❤️

[@murraywilloughby7116]

Hey Stijin, another great video! Marvelous. You seem to read my mind 'cause I had been trying to find a good transcription of Honeysuckle Rose. I'm kind of in a jam though because I just discovered Red Garland through the Miles Davis Cookin', Relaxin', Steamin', Walkin', etc. albums. I bought a box set of 24 albums for $24.95. Red seems to have synthesized every one's style from Bud Powell to Ahmad Jamal. Cheers!

[@marcelloestemiele]

astonishing as always

[@tioliak]

Hello. What piano you using?
