That one took me a long time to write... 😂😂 😂

This so fantastic. Thank you!

I want to see you live at blues alley. That would be EVERYONEs cup of tea

[@JeremySiskind]

I've only played at Blues Alley once, but I'd love to come back. Hopefully someday!

[@RichardBudgey]

I've always been fascinated by your book collection. Perhaps a tour of it one day?

[@JeremySiskind]

Maybe one day. If I have enough subscribers that I think people will care. Fun fact about me, though is that I don't have a grad degree in music. My masters is in English & Comparative Literature!

[@rickt7826]

You really do a great job of this. I'm not quite to the level I need to be to get the most out of these videos but I do pick up a few things here and there that helps. Plus, even if the subject goes over my head I just like hearing you play. You have such a depth of knowledge it's a real education to listen.

That was funny book joke in the beginning haha😂

[@DojoOfCool]

So much great info in each of your videos Thanks

[@JeremySiskind]

Awesome. I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

[@brendaboykin3281]

Absolutely Fantastic lesson! Big breakthrough for me. Mucho Thanxo.🌹🌹🌹🌹😎

[@JeremySiskind]

Oooh, I love breakthroughs! Enjoy, Brenda! Break on through to the other side!

[@HaischkaEST]

Thank you for this! I'm thoroughly enjoying your classes and you're such a gifted teacher/musician.

[@JeremySiskind]

I'm honored! Thank you so much!

[@MrFedemoral]

This topic is too much fun!

[@JeremySiskind]

Nice! I'm glad you dug it - yes, there's a lot to experiment with!

[@CliffieVanR]

Hey Jeremy! Many thanks for another fantastic lesson. Great tip about the blue notes from G on the C chord! And I'm delighted to see we share a similar taste in literature - Infinite Jest in particular is such a fantastic piece of work!

[@JeremySiskind]

Cliffy! Yes, I'm a big DFW fan. I want to reread Infinite Jest but, wow, what a time commitment. He was a true genius!

[@CliffieVanR]

"Our favorite youtube jazz person" 😄 thanks a lot for one more of your great, to the point lessons!

favorite youtube *AND NOT ONLY* jazz person!!

[@JeremySiskind]

@@alexandros_haralabidis Aw shucks! Haha, I don't know what I was thinking regarding this video intro! 😂

[@ProtocolC3]

You are such an incredible pianist. Your logic, rhythm, time and many, many years of practice are better than being a genius. Don't let the subscriber count stop you from continuing to provide all levels of pianists with some of the most important lessons they never knew they / we needed. Appreciate the excellent work. A lifelong student from Australia. Thanks mate

[@JeremySiskind]

Aw, wow, what a nice note! What's funny is that I think my subscriber count is great! I'm honestly shocked that anybody at all is interested about what I have to say about this nerdy stuff. Thanks, Protocol!

[@bethanylowe8773]

You're definitely my favourite but this one was harder to follow than usual because you vamp so fast and the notation just shows a complex cluster chord for 0.1 of a second! XD

[@Velykadivchyna]

Thank you so much! ❤

[@JeremySiskind]

Thanks so much, Electric Mouse!

[@masha_piano_gal]

I love ur videos! Is there a chapter on this topic in one of your books? Happy holidays!

[@JeremySiskind]

Hi Maria! Thanks for the nice comment. I can't think of a place where topic is covered in my books. I'll definitely include it if there is a Jazz Piano Fundamentals, Book 3!

[@jonrubin60]

Hi Jeremy--Super helpful as always! Question about how to potentially apply this to 2-handed comping for All Blues. Seems like the 2nd inversion triad is equivalent to the top 3-notes (RH) of a So What voicing. So for All Blues, does it work to add the two 4ths in LH to create the full 2H So What voicing? Sounds ok when I do that, but on original recording, doesn't quite sound like Bill Evans is doing that--trying to figure out what he's doing--a mix of So What, Quartal, or most likely some variations/mix? Thanks for any guidance/thoughts!

It's Ok to lie about being a genius. Kanye West lies about being a genius all the time.

[@JeremySiskind]

Haha, not touching that one, Bob. 😉
