I love how your videos aren’t over edited! They’re very much like I’m in a class room! Very intentional and interesting!

[@EugeneBrown-yw7or]

I've watched two of your videos, this one, and the Keith Jarret 'Ostinato' video. Loved them both. Thanks.

[@pierrejpiscitelli]

Thanks very much!

[@mitya80]

why not watch more ?: ))

[@georgehiggins1320]

This is mind-blowing. I've never heard anybody else talk about this before but I've heard this sound so many times!

[@crazydougthewolf]

Beautiful, thank you!

[@pierrejpiscitelli]

Thanks for watching 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@TheMisterGriswold]

Reminds me of "Earth Tones" by Grover Washington Jr. 🎶

[@robbes7rh]

Very beautiful and striking harmonies. I like that exercise going through the inversions in ALL 12 keys. I could see it as a warm up routine as well.

[@franklacey5054]

Brings back memories from my childhood, discovering this concept! To this day, I still play with interlocking hands, because it’s “easier” for my brain to process. 😊

[@pierrejpiscitelli]

Very cool! Glad I'm not alone here, haha.

[@musikgrothe]

Merci!!!! So good explained❤

[@pierrejpiscitelli]

🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@mfe-geschichtenmehr9017]

good inspiration, thanks

[@pierrejpiscitelli]

Thanks for watching!

[@louiscucunato115]

I really like your suggestions for use in tunes and how to make it practical in different styles. Thank you for explaining it so clearly.

[@pierrejpiscitelli]

Thanks for watching!

[@schroede2]

Wonderful video as always :)

[@pierrejpiscitelli]

Thanks! Hey, aren't you that model?

[@anderscarlsson3387]

Amazing!!. Really great!. Sounds lika Alan Holdsworth.

[@pierrejpiscitelli]

Totally! Lots of beautiful drop 2 voicings result from this technique. Allan was a master.

[@waynocook53]

I prastise guitar and just listening helps me lern stuff🤙 so thank you😉

[@pierrejpiscitelli]

So glad it’s helpful!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@gregory9028]

Oh yeah!! The yellow jackets are my favorite jazz band. Everything you played sounds just like them. All that's missing is Bob Mintzer's sax and the thunderous drumming of William Kennedy!!! How about a piano tutorial and analysis of the tune "ancestors" Love it thanks.

[@pierrejpiscitelli]

Love them too! I'll teach some of their music someday.

[@RobertZuromski]

Hi, did Russell worked with Late Don Haas from Foster City Bay Area? If this is the same Keyboardist from Yellow Jackets, then we had the same teacher. I was told that Don worked with him on all Chopin Etudes around the Circle of Fifths. That was a work out with mental gymnastics. Cheers

[@danielberhane2690]

Pierre... that is such a beautiful sound...do write ur own songs...U should, my men...u will be doing us a great favor!!!

[@pierrejpiscitelli]

Thanks! Someday, but there's just no incentive or reward for doing such a thing at this point. That's the music industry in 2024. Maybe when I'm retired :)

[@DTmaster]

wow amazing channel one of the best finds this week ❤ I'm a jazz guitar player but I'm trying to learn on the piano because I don't think this is physically possible on a guitar

[@pierrejpiscitelli]

There are some drop-2 chord positions on guitar that sound similar enough! Thanks for watching.

[@gael5609]

@@pierrejpiscitelli hi, great stuff. Any example of those drops 2 ?

[@pierrejpiscitelli]

There are tons of guitarists who will demonstrate better than I ever could-- just search for drop 2 guitar voicing on KZbin!

[@psy0rz]

Ah so thats the sound of the 80s i used to hate!😂 Stacked major triads

[@pierrejpiscitelli]

It's too "pretty" for some. I've heard that a lot.

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

Aimless improvisation? Sounds nice. Merci.

[@pierrejpiscitelli]

🙏🏻

[@chandlernelms3271]

when you teach these eyes by the guess who, can you teach us the midnight special live version

[@Stiegosaurus]

Just beautiful.

[@pierrejpiscitelli]

Thank you very much!

[@billhasty5197]

Now I see where Mannheim Steamroller got that sound. lol

[@tpiskor]

Is this the same has a drop 2 chord? Remember seeing something like this on another jazz piano channel and they were talking about drop 2 chords. Beautiful sounding chords.Thanks Pierre. And they don't sound like tooth fairy chords like one of your goofy commenters mentioned. Give me a break.

[@bitkahuna]

brain overload...

[@elginphelps5291]

Lyle Mays chords?

[@pierrejpiscitelli]

Yes, they’re very Lyle. I never got to speak with him about this particular concept :(

[@fastjazz]

Hmm, sounded like tooth fairy music to me until the jazz comping

[@pierrejpiscitelli]

That’s really interesting. Everyone is looking for something different when they listen to music. That has always fascinated me.

[@fastjazz]

@@pierrejpiscitelli Tooth fairy music isn't anything I ever want to hear - superficial "pretty" with zero depth, but the jazz comping changed that feel a bit...

[@incontv1901]

Thank, very good

[@pierrejpiscitelli]

Thanks for watching

[@gaugeonesteam]

I play piano a bit (not to your level) and I find the late "Dudley Moore" had some great "extra tricks and techniques" in his playing. 5 note "triplets" , lots of very cool blues scales phrases and some very interesting chord voicings. search "Dudley Moore trio" & " Dudley Moore trio BBC"

[@pierrejpiscitelli]

Yes he could play. Those 5 note groupings are called quintuplets. Not easy to do!!

[@gaugeonesteam]

@@pierrejpiscitelli Check out his 4 albums with guest singers. Marian Montgomery, Cleo Laine, Dakota Staton and Jimmy Witherspoon. well worth a listen. I do appreciate you "KZbin" guys giving us all some great piano tips.

[@pierrejpiscitelli]

thanks!!

[@gavinmacaulay5742]

Great stuff!!

[@pierrejpiscitelli]

Thanks, Gavin!
