Upper Structure Triads For Jazz Piano

[@mcw0805]

this was probably the most useful jazz piano content I've seen so far

[@jasonterrien]

Me too.

[@dariopiano]

Yeah, I agree

[@xus75]

I agree

[@raginbakin1430]

I agree

[@MaxDerMusiker]

Yeah

[@AlessandroAzara]

Finally, someone explains advanced concepts to advanced musicians without wasting time explaining what a scale or chord, or progression is. SUBSCRIBED!

[@amrum01]

The most focused and transparent explanation of this approach - and very musically

[@theohouf2190]

if there would be a Jazz tutorial Nobel Prize you would deserve it!

[@DavidWeinbergGG]

This video is mind-blowing for horn players. It shows the structure of the sounds many of us are looking for. In this respect, a pianist's perspective is far better than any studies for single-note instruments. It sounds great, too! It will take a long long time to absorb and internalize, but it will be worth it. Thank you. I signed up.

[@kaeyaalberich1605]

loving this tutorial!! ive always wanted to learn upper structures to sort of imitate bill evans's style and your tutorial was simple and organised enough and super easy to understand

[@WELLofMUSIC]

Insightful and very clear explanation!!! I love it.

[@BritishJoker902]

This was such a useful lesson. I will watch. Over and over and play along until I can match it up along with the sheet music

[@PianistdjDe]

In fact one of the best tutorials for Jazz Piano Voicings

[@marinduque-theheartoftheph]

Complicated simplified. Yet the harmony is transformed from the simple vanilla to rich, complex chords. Inversely proportional mutation just got seamlessly better 👍Tòns of thanks!

[@a-benmusic]

This is the most detailed and thorough lesson I have ever come across on KZbin.. Thank you so much!!!!

[@copernicus99]

Thanks for this very nice video! Please make more tutorials on chord voicings for common jazz standards!

[@mymatemartin]

Mind altering information. Truly valuable insights. Thank you.

[@Leomusicalheart]

Thank you for the video and information you share with us! It's absolutely amazing! Greetings from Peru 🇵🇪 😃 I hope you're keeping well!

[@anicetjoy5456]

I adore it!! Very useful, and well explained

[@jakeelliott781]

There is a small mistake in the written transcription. The C13(b9) should have a Db on top instead of a Cb

[@yutrem]

And an A natural, not Ab at 1.06

[@ltrizzle12]

Yeah u gotta fix this man. Tutorial vids need to be reviewed myriad times for perfection. They have to be 100%. Always.

[@Ernie_Centofanti]

I noticed that mistake, too.

[@Pteradactylist]

I thought I was going crazy! Not a small mistake

Thank you so much! Such a clwar and informative explanation! Wish I had such a teacher a couple of decades ago!...

[@vivifalabella]

Its fantastic. and the chart has helped a lot!!!

[@samuelbeltrami5647]

Misty with upper structure approach is beautiful

[@PianoGroove]

Indeed! Try applying these voicings to other jazz standards and you will hear they sound fantastic. Cheers! PianoGroove

[@jackgalloway8314]

Very cool sound for this modern world. Thanks.

[@dannuttle9005]

Some nagging questions I've had for (checking watch) 60 years about what makes jazz sounds work were answered by this video. That's an itch that's been waiting to be scratched forever. Resolved: I need to work on all inversions of all major triads.

[@glennbrown2830]

Really enjoyed this very clear an concise, thanks

[@Vaejovis357]

“infamous” Autumn Leaves? Infamous means disreputable. Great lesson. It’s easy to remember which upper structures to apply: major triads with roots taken from the 9 of the dominant chord you’re voicing plus the one with a root on the flat 13. So, in C7. Take triads with roots on D, F#, A plus the Ab

[@cynthiastory8603]

A good to get away from just using "vanilla chords". Thank you David🎹🎼🎹🎼🎹

[@mistergrooveman1018]

amazed by the quality that you give !! this is a reel must have ! thanks so much !

Just awesome music........I learned so much.......pure brilliance.

[@davidcornett3498]

I would listen to these beautiful lessons and arrangements even If I didn't play piano.

[@karenstephens2047]

This is a helpful lesson; thanks for the clear explanation, the best I have found on this topic.

[@drinkwater319]

Not a C13b9, the third one….for that to be the case you would need an A natural (13) and a C# (Db-b9). You have an Ab (G#) which is a #5th and a B maj which is a major 7th, as you already have a Bb to make the C a 7th chord, to avoid confusion with the two different B intervals I would call this a ‘slash’ chord C7/E.

[@sidubalan8721]

Excellent video 👍 Question; do you know who invented jazz upper structures, or who was the first to use them? Were they played as early as Duke Ellington or Bud Powell? I seem to recall only first hearing these voicings played by Bill Evans. (Asking for my students who always ask this question). Thanks

[@George-nx8zu]

Is there another video that goes over how you come up with all those top line melodies around the 2 5 1?

[@betobeto1959]

Fantastic! congratulations! What is the name of the program you use to show the keyboard on the key, with musical notes ?? Thank you! hugs!

[@titocosta]

Excellent!

[@Fghjk-hs9zd]

Nice tutorial ❤️❤️❤️

[@udohaas4294]

Thanks so much!!!

[@pianopassion]

Fantastica spiegazione molto più chiara di tante altre presenti nel web; purtroppo non è facile per me seguire dai sottotitoli in italiano ma vorrei tanto chiedere gentilmente se è possibile seguire una lezione come questa relativamente alle upper structures applicabili anche agli accordi maggiori e minori all'interno di un turn around tipo 1 6 2 5 1. Grazie infinite e complimenti.

[@michaelfrance5565]

In the lesson at about 10 minutes in, you demonstrate the Gb13. When I see that written on a sheet of music, how can I know its the thirteenth of Gb and not a G with a flattened thirteen? This same confusion might also apply to other chords notated similarly.

[@gopalarao4783]

Great....

[@JudyK1]

I like your lessons. Do an of your lessons deal with improvisation?

[@danielkaly-amusicaljournal4898]

Great informative class, but never received an email back with pdf access.

[@robertmichalscheck3072]

Cool chords.

[@justusnkoyoyo2843]

Thanks I just want to is this true even for minor chords

[@dariopiano]

Very useful!! There is a little mistake @1:05 C13(b9) that you play correct.. it is not correct on the score

[@ivanduranysuritmosabroson7568]

Thank you teacher you have the tutorial in this Chanel I don't find the partiture

[@alanwest5647]

At 1.51 you played a different chord to that which was shown. C with flattened 9 which was played but not shown. Otherwise very interesting indeed. Than you

[@winniekerner128]

Thank you for the excellent tutorial. I think you have staff notation errors for the C13(b9) chord in the first frame around 0:30 and the second frame around 1:00. I see later that sometimes it is spelled with C3 to emphasize the “major triad” and sometimes with Dd for the flat 9. Are both generally used?

[@peterbransche4674]

Hi, great videos. One thing --- the written notes you show for C13b9 do not match what you play.

[@clubandbardjs]

Very Vey Good

[@erdemtonguc3501]

Man, thanks a lot! You showed how to open doors, thanks again...

[@danielphillips455]

If I may ask a question, about when you refer to the scale as the mixolydian mode-in C7. Isn’t the mixolydian mode of a C Major chord G-G?

[@dannuttle9005]

You have turned me into an upper structure junkie. I can't stop. I tried playing a C7 with Eb, Ab and Db in the right hand, which is...I guess...a quartal voicing? It's b2, b5 and #2 all at once. Is this..."allowed"? It sounds really good to my ears. Then, it sounds to me, I should hit a B (a major 7? in a dom7 chord?!?), then resolve to F with D as the high note.

[@nkuthalomampofu6078]

Amen.
