========================================================
What's goin' on everybody? Peter Martin here for 2 Minute Jazz. Want to talk to you about pentatonics. I've got a brand new exercise for you over C minor, or E flat major, however you wanna think about it. And we go through two different levels, three different rhythms for each one.
The first thing we're doing, we're starting down here, an octave below middle C. Too many of you are practicing only in this [upper] range of the instrument and then you end up soloing only in these two octaves. We got great stuff down here. Great little tenor region of the piano we wanna explore. So if you wanna play it, you gotta practice in there, okay?
So we're going up. And then we're (on four) coming down and here's our shape, skipping. Lots of use of the four. A lot of you are just playing with one two three and there's some false information goin' out here that you only have to use three fingers. We've got five fingers. If you're not gonna practice with the fourth and the fifth, they're never gonna get strong and independent and be able to at least come close to equaling one two three.
So many situations, what we have to be able to play with strength and agility with our fourth and fifth finger, so we gotta practice it. So I've worked that into the fingering here. And we're just changing up the rhythm.
Level 2A, same thing: goin' up straight. Pentatonic. Now we gotta new shape. And this is really based upon something a lot of players use. That's just going up a half step. So it gets your hand ready for that. And now we're introducing a lot of fifth finger. A lot of you are gonna wanna go four or three there. But the idea is we wanna keep that wrist smoothly gliding up and down.
Pentatonics. Happy practicing!

@@johnanderson9494That scale is a mode of the D harmonic major scale. The D harmonic major scale is same as D major except has flat 6 (B♭ instead of B) - your D♭ would be written as C♯ in this scale. When played from E to E, that is second mode (Mode II) of D harmonic major, which is apparently called “Dorian ♭5” according to Wikipedia page for “Harmonic Major Scale”. Note these are harmonic major scales, rather than the more common harmonic minor scales.

Ok, so a few things he didn't mention that may be useful: The structure of the pentatonic scale he's playing for C minor is basically the pentatonic scale that goes with the relative major chord. So for C minor, the relative Major chord is Eb Maj. And so, the pentatonic scale that goes for Eb Major is: Eb, F, G, Bb and C. It's called pentatonic because this is basically transposed from the resulting "scale" you obtain if you play only on the black keys (Gb, Ab, Bb, Db and Eb) which contain only 5 notes. This 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 pattern is the basic foundation for the pentatonic scale and chords (which by the way, since the chords are stacked 4ths, they can only be built on the 2nd and 3rd degree. So again, if we do this on the black keys, you have the chord built on the 2nd degree, which would give you Ab, Db and Gb, and the chord built on the 3rd degree which would be Bb, Eb and Ab) So the scale in this video is basically Eb Maj starting from its sixth degree (C), resulting in C, Eb, F, G and Bb. The fingering for this scale is 1, 3, 1, 2, 3 and so on. Additionally, if you're eccentric enough as I am, and you wanna practice this scale with both hands, the fingering for the left hand is 1, 3, 2, 1, 3 When he descends, he plays two different variations. Variation 1: Where he skips one interval going down, then plays the next interval going up, then on and on (C, G, Bb, F, G, Eb, F, C) The best fingering I can recommend for that is 5, 2, 3, 1, 5, 2, 5, 1, 3, 2, 4. Notice when I land on the C an octave below, I land on 4 and not on 5. If you wanna keep it consistent, you can start with finger 4 on the C above, but you will definitely need the 4th finger once you complete an octave and are going for the next octave down. Variation 2: Where he plays groups of two notes that skip one interval, one going up, the other one down, forming a cool "chainlink" type of pattern. The notes are: G, C, Bb, F, Eb, G, F, C Bb, Eb, C, G. Best fingering for that is 2, 5, 4, 1 for all groups of 4 notes. Keep in mind these fingerings work for C min and maybe other keys, but with different keys, there will be different variations. Hope that helps a bit.

@@mjazzguitar Because you would have to include notes that do not belong to the pentatonic scale. Again: the pentatonic scale has only five notes. So for instance, the pentatonic scale on C is only C, D, E, G and A. If you stack fourths on top of the fifth degree (In this case, G), you get G, C and F, and F does not belong to the pentatonic scale. This is not to say that you can't do it outside of practicing/learning. Of course you can break/bend these rules when you're improvising. But for the purposes of practicing and learning the pentatonic scale, you wanna make sure you stick to the notes that belong to the scale. Once you're out of practice mode and you're creating, you can break rules, but at least you're aware of when you're breaking a rule (as opposed to doing it without being aware that you're breaking it) This is true for everything you practice.

Hi I'm a guitarist with a piano question: Y'all think about pentatonics like "shape one, shape two, etc" or do you refer to them by their actual modal names? I'm just one of those people who has to learn things the "correct" way. Even your top professional touring household name celebrity guitar players will say something like "I'm playing in A minor Pentatonic, box 5". And I'm like No, that's G Mixolydian Pentatonic. IDK why but, we guitarists refer to position numbers instead of the correct modal names. Just wondering if it's the same across instruments, or if it's one of those guitar-specific things Nice video Killer playing. In the beginning, you're just quickly running through the scales in a devil may care example but, you're still playing with soul and feel. That's rare in any genre on any instrument
@tobes9074
@tobes9074 4 жыл бұрын
Hi, pianists don't use these same box ideas that guitarist use. That's because the piano is purely linear. The nature of having the same note in multiple places on the guitar leads to the concept of multiple shapes for one scale in order to get comfortable all around the neck. For a pianist there is simply the one minor pentatonic all the way up. However, generally speaking, high level musicians in a jazz context will be thinking scale degrees in relation to the chord or sound they are playing over. So instead of "I use these notes" or "I play this shape" they are often thinking "1 b3 4 5 b7 8". Hope that helps

I see a lot of restrictive fingerings listed In the comments. You should go out of your way to practice fingerings that are not simple. Ie , say doing triads using only your 2,3,4rth or 7ths with 2-5. Using only 1 and 2, 1 and 3 and so on, then 2 -3 , and so on. Scales should really be a revolving permutation exercise with both notes, fingers and rhythm. It should feel like a brain workout.

There are many lessons about pentatonics available. What you CAN learn from this lesson is the SOUND he's making and HOW he's making it. Pentatonics played intervallically, rather than sequentially and with repeating patterns and at performance speed. We've all heard this. Now you know what you've been hearing and if you want that sound in your playing this is what you need to learn. Very valuable information.

@@kralkrauterblach414 Not everything in this world is aimed at people who know nothing. There are hundreds of videos that explain this stuff for beginners. If you don't get it, maybe it says more about your level at this time than it does about the man's ability to teach. What he is teaching here is extremely simple.

C major pentatonic, only play R, 2, 3, 5, 6 of the major scale. Start on the 6 and you have A minor pentatonic (R, b3, 4, 5, b7). That's it.

I think you're being much too dismissive of Oliver's work. He does have a series on three-fingered jazz but even in that, he stretches out to the other fingers. The point is as always that jazz is not unapproachable.

Does everyone get that this is the FREE content? Does everyone get that this is Peter Martin playing this stuff? Not a youtube star. Not a local talent. Not someone who went to music school and is a self appointed genius. Peter Martin. Look him up. Look up who he's played with. There's amazing talent on KZbin. They studied the masters. Peter Martin, he PLAYED with the masters. There's too many people here on KZbin giving CST all day, everyday. And there's plenty on KZbin about music theory (which is very important, no doubt). But the missing element is real discussion about rhythm and feel, and building melodies. Peter talks about that in his courses. Check out Open Studio if you wanna see how Peter really lays it down. For starters, check out the "Modern Jazz Pack" in the curated lessons if you wanna get some real insight into modern modal playing. With the Black Friday sale, you get 50% off. At that price, it's like they are giving it away. I buy stuff on TrueFire, on My Music Master Class, on Mike's Masterclasses. They are all great. But then I found Open Studio Jazz... Let's just say that if you can attract Dianne Reeves and Christian McBride--you gotta be doing something right, and something way different. So yeah, quit heckling and head over to OpenStudioJazz dot com already!

I find this to be a problem with a lot of KZbin teachers. I’m sure that they mean well,, but they mostly show of how great a player they are. Instead of taking the exercise slow so that way other people can comprehend what you’re doing. Of course there’s a way to slow down the video on KZbin. But it is best if the teacher shows exactly what cord they are playing in the left hand and slowly go up the scale or down the scale so that way the listener can actually comprehend what they’re doing. So instead of being a video/tool. Instead the video becomes an audition demonstration performance.

Honestly if you aren't capable or don't have the patience to slow down this video and sit at the piano and study what's happening, working through it yourself and doing the hard work then you're never going to get better. There's hours and hours of information in his playing right in front of you and you can see every movement his hand is doing. You're not going to get better by listening to someone baby walk you through it. Watch, listen, dissect, and practice.

It's way easier on guitar because once you learn the 1-2 most common shapes, you can transpose by just starting on a different fret. No need to know the theory.

Come on guys, it isn't so hard, close this page and look for someone explaining what notes form a pentatonic, than come back here and you will understand: It's like asking Philip Roth about the rules of syntax while he talks about his latest novel. Read the f*****ng title before writing stupid comments. Thanks PM, this is a great video.
