🎹 Jazz Piano Tutorial ❤

[@gugaschultze]

Tenderly is a difficult song because it always provokes the players to "improve" or "color" both the melody and the harmony. But this is one of those melodies that you can't touch without breaking its natural charm. Improvising here is dangerous and usually only reveals how far the musician is from the soul of this melody. Its arrangement, however, is beautiful and preserves the spirit of this song. Congratulations!

[@Schokas]

I really don't know any jazz tutorials on KZbin that helped me as much as yours. Thank you!

[@millermcmillan5532]

Agree

[@gerthornslet4156]

I've learned "Thats All" from you, now I'll go for "Tenderly". With this repertoire, this kind of education, the calm and tender coach, Your good pronunciation (for us where english is not the native language) I will go from piano owner to piano player over time. Hurray

[@oliviaedralin1436]

Indeed! I shared his tutorial to one of my friends who very novice on piano playing. She was excited because Tony wasn’t loud or way enthusiastic 😁 he’s just straight forward and just imparting his humble experience!

[@mdccloud]

He taught me Blue Moon and Charlie Browns Blues! This is next! Although it’s a little difficult for me. I need to find some of his easier intermediate level pieces

[@ethelrizarri2614]

He is a good teacher , understand right away , and hold then repeat and continue , change of chords , very good

[@francescomanfredi]

Please go on with this beautiful beginner series!

[@Chipshotz]

Tony, getting back to basics is the best advice. I'm guilty of trying too much too soon and it can get frustrating at times. I appreciate you.

[@Fabsurf101]

Tenderly got to be one of the most beautiful ballads ever written, both in melody and lyrics. I couldn't believe I ever had a chance to learn how to play it through your methodical presentation. Thank you so much!

[@TonyWinston]

Couldn't agree more!

[@Fabsurf101]

Thank you, Mr. Winston. You have made these difficult jazz chords compelling enough for a guy who has no jazz piano experience to be willing to try it out.

[@cherylrobinson-moore6820]

Complex ideas presented sweetly & simply…..Thank You Tony!!!😊

[@KevinB-pd3me]

I remember Tenderly very well from my childhood. My mom used to sing and play it on piano. It was her favorite song. Anyway, after watching this, I transposed it to C (where I can sing it) and arranged it for electric guitar. I'm stunned at how lush it sounds on any instrument. It's also a song that begs for a rubato style. Thanks so much for the inspiration!

[@caronalain]

What a delicate and ravishing level of artistry thank you 🙏

[@napleslivemusic2810]

Thank you Tony for creating these wonderful videos. I am a beginner and appreciate your patience and calmness. You're like the Mr Rogers of piano teachers. 🎹 ❤️

[@REALsandwitchlotter]

Concentrate on the basics, great advice! Many thanks this is excellent

[@theodoreyoung1339]

I've been searching for jazz piano instruction on KZbin for years and this is by far the best and most clearly explained jazz course I have found.

[@millermcmillan5532]

Enjoyed seeing/hearing the chords in slow motion. Like your down to earth teaching style-without all the hype and ego of some of the others. Talked to Ted Howe a couple months ago. Wanted to study in person, but he is not doing that right now. Found others-and really like the Mantooth book you showed us. Learning those chords is both eye opening and ear opening. Thanks for your videos and wisdom. You are the best online. Miller

[@hsitz]

Thanks, that chord-note-at-a-time method made it much easier to see/hear exactly what you were doing. No straining needed on my end.

[@skylee5029]

I played all through junior high and high school so I can enjoy classical, but man do I appreciate having access to some beginner level jazz to learn from. I would loathe to drill through a bunch of music that isn’t something I necessarily WANT to play. Being able to start with musically interesting things like this is such a blessing for me. Thx so much man. With type of starting point I know I’ll be able stay interested and even be inspired while I’m practicing

[@millermcmillan5532]

Nice. I like that went slowly enough that I could follow most of the chords. Supporting the melody with stacked 4ths was beautiful.

[@nbgen]

I’m 77 can’t play but feel so inspired to learn. Your teaching although is a foreign language to me, is just so calm and gentle and inviting. Maybe I should get some basics first but there are so many on KZbin I don’t know where to go first, but hey that my problem, thanks for the inspiration it’s just lovely listening to you beginner tunes don’t sound like what you play. I’ll get my self an electric keyboard first.

[@joespada21]

You are as good as it gets - much appreciated

[@peterdowning2869]

Many thanks Tony for your back to basics approach to playing jazz and improvisation. It opens a door in the soul. I had to laugh when you rightly mentioned the possibilities of interpreting classical music. I was very nearly expelled from school for doing precisely that. My parents received a letter from the Head Master advising them that my elder brother would not benefit from continued attempts to teach him at the school. He left. I was banned at the age of 14yrs from playing the pianos in the music school unless it was a school activity. I was allowed to play a piano in the Sixth Form room which was as far away from the music school as was physically possible. This individual rule lasted to the end of my days there. At 75 yrs I am trying to catch up - your sessions are invaluable. It is so refreshing to hear you encouraging us to explore Thank you.

[@kathyspencer5909]

Thanks so much for presenting this song. It's lovely

[@top3singermorales636]

Great Mr Tony....the simpler the better...thankyou

[@tweedmouth21]

What a great tutorial. I'm learning this with my piano teacher, who is guiding me along similar lines to you.

[@davehope5330]

Perfect pace for me - a long term beginner!

[@Mario-xr3jo]

You're an amazing teacher, Tony! I have never been into jazz, but with you I am discovering how charming it can be! Thank you so much!

[@TonyWinston]

Wow, thank you!

[@StumbleBoy]

Thank you for doing this! I'm not much of a pianist and have been a bit stuck for some time. This gives me motivation to take a few steps back, look up some easy jazz standards and go from there. Thank you!

[@edgarsnake2857]

Tenderly is a beautiful song. Thanks for showin' us around it.

[@ljroe53]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent so freely. You are a great teacher! I am a big fan of your work and have learned so much watching your videos.

[@oliviaedralin1436]

This was the first piece I tried after your tutorial,,, I’ve been hooked ever since. Thanks Tony!

[@TonyWinston]

Awesome. Thanks Olivia!

[@favorjubilee]

million thank you Tony, I come from Taiwan, I love your teaching so amazing ! and so helpful and wonderful for me, especially, i am a new jazz student, every video you made so great ! thank you again 😀

[@stephen35235]

Tony Winston, your videos are crucial for those of us who are still learning. Thank you for sharing your insights and talent in this (sometimes mysterious) art form. You are a rare gem!

[@TonyWinston]

Very welcome

[@dannuttle9005]

Yes please, more easy tutorials. I need to build my repertoire!

[@elijahdoyle2604]

Your tutorials are so very relaxing and informative! Thank you so much for making these :)

[@rodrigodiaz9550]

Sir, you are a gift. Thank you so much for sharing this so generously.

[@jorgemostany7926]

Yours is a labor of love on music, thanks a lot. Your explanations shred light into the logic behind the simbols of writen music: it's been an invaluable help to find the sense encripted on sheet music. Thanks a lot.

[@glennbrown2830]

Great tutorials Tony, I've been a pro guitarist, and came to.piano over lockdown, because I love the tunes... and that's what you teach....many thanks...

[@top3singermorales636]

Thankyou Mr. Tony.....I'm learning alot from you...again.. thankyou sir

[@larrywarr3954]

I agree, sometimes I just need to get back to basics. Thanks so much. Every lesson a delight!

[@alexsiuwh]

Thanks so much for sharing the original score as well as your arrangement. I am learning piano and I am pretty much your age. Thanks very much for your kind tutorial and support👋👍🙏

[@TonyWinston]

you bet!

[@mohammedrifaat6378]

Thanks for your simple explanation of the definition of jazz and for showing us how did you play your own arrangement for the song

[@justinemacleod5916]

Love this Tony. I’m a Jazz singer but have always wanted to play as well. You make me want to play and I’m hoping to do both. So beautiful to listen to. I’m just beginning, although not a total beginner on piano. I’m grateful that you are giving guidance for beginners for Jazz piano. Thank you so much. 🙏❤️

[@dulacfrancois5251]

Thank you for shearing your approach and rendition of this song !

[@davidgerber9317]

More great advice from the jazz-master who just keeps spreadin' the love!

Hallelujah for the beginner play list!😍

[@danielsimpson3766]

Thanks Tony!

[@FranciscoA.22033]

Beautiful song Tony!!! I always wanted to play that song Tony.. Thanks a lot.

[@paulmonsen5954]

One of the first tunes I learned. Jackie Gleason had it as a background for his show. I picked up a lot from hearing your version.

[@carlsjoquist4299]

Truly wonderful,. Tony. you are the real deal.

[@reinhardheiderich1879]

Hello Tony how are you? Your friend Reinhard from Germany has not visited you for a lang time, at your home at the piano. Now I am once again at your side listening, practicing Tender vouching with you. I am glad to see you again. Greetings from me 🙋‍♀my sympathetic and best "Jazz-Teacher," Tony.

[@TonyWinston]

Welcome back! I should revisit this video also. It's a great song and I haven't played it in a while.

[@Passeira1]

Your piano sounds so good and it’s perfectly tuned. Great video as always.

Thankyou so much for making this wonderful tutorials. I enjoy the way you teach. You are so experienced and make them so simple tu understand. I love specially this Tenderly song. Regards from Mexico City.

[@maval1523]

So touching… thank you

[@Pilotlon46]

Speechless! These videos are so good, I can only echo the comments of others. Thank you so much, Tony!

[@chatbass2468]

9:01 "What is Jazz? Its taking a song and playing it wrong" - Spinal Tap. Oh man that had me laughing....

[@jimkangas4176]

Thanks so much - this is almost perfect for me! I've played jazz guitar for decades and have recently started with piano as a way to approach solo playing that has that 'smokey cocktail lounge at 2 AM' tinge of jazz ballads where some pianist will play 'Body and Soul' (or Tenderly) with 15 verses (ok, that's the dream!). I know all about drop 2's and altered chords on guitar, but just learning how to play chords of any kind on piano. I know that m7b5 = m6 up a minor third device which is very helpful to me on piano. Also Cmaj7-Cmaj6-Dm7-Dm6 as a simple way to play 1-6-2-5. Keep it up!

[@ethelrizarri2614]

Thank you tony , really appreciated

[@rustydomino]

Hey Tony, thanks for the lessons! I like how your style is approachable for beginners like me. I'm learning from a teacher on more bebop style mostly because I want to learn how to shred lol but the basics you talk about are fantastic.

[@emunilsson5002]

Thank you so much for these videos, I love listening to ballads and having recently started learning I feel as such that these songs are the most accesible for me right now

I’ve been watching your tutorials for quite a while. I enjoyed this one mainly because you started with the basic arrangement and then added your beautiful chord (triads) melody arrangement. The chords you played were great especially with the added arpeggios. Great tutorial!!!
