[@derekgreenwood9672]

After my 35 year hiatus away from the keyboard, your lessons are inspirational. Many thanks!

[@Piano_Pig]

Thanks great to know! keep it up 🙂

[@abuventertainment2856]

That example was 🔥

[@ti2218]

That opening riff was simple, but the same kind of simple when you start to optimize their details in any art by cutting down the fluff and unnecessary stuff to have exactly what you want to be there, nothing more, nothing less, and it was very smooth!I loved that beat.

[@abuventertainment2856]

You make the best piano lessons on the internet. Respect bro!

[@Piano_Pig]

Thanks man! Much appreciated 😀🙏

[@trabajojesus65]

Appreciate Video clip! Apologies for chiming in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you thought about - Riddleagan Smart Hands Remedy (search on google)? It is a good exclusive product for learning piano fast minus the normal expense. Ive heard some super things about it and my old buddy Taylor at very last got excellent success with it.

[@archimedislapaz4070]

The first time I watched this I had no idea in mind but on improvising out of nowhere without an even decent amount of mode knowledge. But now that I know the modes on each scales, I understand this lesson now and it help me broaden again my horizon in jazz playing. Thank you.

[@marcopepe4046]

Beautiful! Your improvisation videos are my favorites! They're full of notions and ideas... by the way it's great how diminished arpeggio works on the dominant... wow! Thanks a lot!

[@TheRealDanMac]

this video is enough to keep you busy for a year to practice everything, thank you my favorite video

[@staticklingon2182]

I agree. It was exactly what I was looking for!

[@crusaderrjm]

I SMASHED that Like button. Easy. Simon is the BEST.

[@staticklingon2182]

This was an awesome video and saved it to come back to tonight. I had a big cringe, though, when he said smash that like button. I hope that trend has fizzled out. I haven't heard it in awhile.

Thanks for watching 🙏

[@paulpulati9613]

Brilliant lesson, Simon!! I don't know what's wrong with those thumb downers. I love the way you present your lessons, breaking it down slowly and showing us the notation as well. Love your enthusiasm, too. Well done and keep them coming! Thanks so much.....

This dude is fire. Finally, someone that broke it down in an easy manner to be understood. I saw one video and became a fan instantly!!!

[@dragoboss561]

Hy.Thomas from Germany..i like this part .thank you.

[@C.S.Pattinson-dw1wm]

what an excellent and clear video. That is just what I needed to move onwards with improvisation..thank you

[@jg353d]

This was really helpful! I'd like to ask, for the step that involves scales (step 5), how do you pick which mode to use?

[@dzmo-official]

What I do is play the scale a bunch of times and just see what mood I want. It al depends on you! That’s one of the key factors that make pianists different

[@starka4248]

it depends on the chord

[@patrickkaman3647]

[@mk9382]

Your videos are awesome!!

[@cheppo6107]

Finally! I have been stuck on step 2 literally for months haha Really looking forward to experiment with these exercises. Really appreciated, thank you! Sorry for the noobie question but how could I find on step 5 which scale to use in each different occasion?

[@febilogi]

You just have to follow to main scale. Because 2-5-1 is always minor7-dominant7-major7(or min7) and the modes of each chord is dorian-mixolyd-ionian or aeolian but aeolian is too sad for jazz, so they use dorian because it's just one note different on scale :) cmiiw

[@hiramjimenez7816]

Thank you so much bro! This lesson is so fun! Please make another video like this one with left hand chord progressions and scales 🙏🏼

[@keiferreefer1]

I really think minor 9th chords and maj 7 r beautiful chords, spacey, easy to improvise over there are a lot of color tones seemingly built in, I'll call em my favorites, soothing. Imaginary numbers and rootless chords, sky surfin

[@lucky7779]

Genius!

[@janetgoodall6372]

Really good lesson! Thanks

[@jamespawelek-lacey1778]

This has blown my mind. Are you effectively doing a key change with every chord change? Because with your right hand you’re playing notes in different keys with each chord change. Not familiar with blues music but I’ve always thought of improvisation as being in a single key, and all the chords and right hand melody fit in with that single key.

For step five is the scales just the notes of the seven chord then the first 3 notes of the chord add a whole step. That may be an easier way to remember. Could you do a video on that. This was one of your best videos yet I like this building slow format plus thanks for.yhe backing track.

[@zerouseless]

that was a lot of info, and pretty useful, but I have one question. why you picked these scales for each chord ? Over which idea should I pick scales for chords I'm improsiving over ? if anybody knows I'd love to hear :)

[@angeleonce1]

I was wondering how or where I can start to learn how to play with hip hop or RnB. I do ot know a thing about piano but it looks so cool when you explain with the visual and the drums in the background. I would like to learn to do that.

I never thought I would get into jazz and my p125 has a demo that is jazzy and I fell in love with it. And this isn't far from it.
