[@deblosey811]

"There's a shadow hanging over me. Oh yesterday came suddenly." Lovely rendition and it was great to see the score. Thanks -

[@soundole2701]

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it!

I am lying awake at 4 in the morning and KZbin just now graced me with this video, better late than never! I can’t wait to spend the day trying in vain to play this with even half of the musicianship as your performance . From a lover of the Beatles and jazz, thank you!

[@soundole2701]

Thank you very much, I'm glad you appreciated it!

[@kky4011]

beautiful arrangement

[@soundole2701]

I agree; some of the arrangements in this book are really brilliant.

[@zacharylavender1568]

Lovely arrangement!

[@soundole2701]

Glad you liked it, wish the arranger was more well known!

[@VeronikaPianist]

Fantastic arrangement and playing👍❤️

[@soundole2701]

Thank you very much! I can't take credit for the arrangement, but I'm glad you think it works! :)

[@Mervyn691]

Very touching.

[@soundole2701]

Thanks mate, I'm glad you think so! :)

Holy cow that Em11 to A+7b9 is amazing. BTW, I usually see it notated as A+7 and not A7+ for augmented 7th chords.

[@soundole2701]

Steven Morris It certainly adds some extra spice to a ii-V, doesn't it? My favourite part is the sustained top F at 1:50 - you can treat it like an inverted pedal and it's a nice little replication of jazz orchestra scoring. My vote for that chord symbol would be to call it a 7#5b9 - since those added harmonies are still a modification of the Dom 7 sonority rather than an augmented triad - but I know this is pickly opinionated territory!

[@jsihavealotofplaylists]

Soundole Music amazing

[@arturogoleman5221]

Kudos for the Video clip! Forgive me for chiming in, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you tried - Riddleagan Smart Hands Remedy (just google it)? It is a great exclusive guide for learning piano fast minus the hard work. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my mate at last got astronomical success with it.

[@zene1750]

Congratulations! I must admit playing jazz might be incredibly difficult, so great efforts - no question. Although I don't know... would be interesting to understand how is it possible for the brain to like and not to like different kinds of music. For jazz the maximum I can say, is "pleasant' :) in contrast to your recent Bach fugue which is commented as "genial' :)

[@soundole2701]

+Zene I know what you mean mate, it's not a genre I'm particularly at home in. Many jazz players I know wouldn't call this jazz because it's written out!

[@adolfogarcia1710]

Great Paul McCartney's song 100%.

[@soundole2701]

Glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@marcofarina9299]

Complimenti!!!

[@soundole2701]

Thanks mate!

[@CoachBillyMcMahon]

Hey, great rendition of Yesterday. As someone who is becoming more interested in Jazz piano, could you recommend a book or course to me that could make me more fluent in jazz piano? Thank you!

[@soundole2701]

Thanks very much! I may not be the best person to ask (the best advice is always going to be: find a good teacher) but you may want to look into some of the Aebersold books (jazzbooks.com) which give an introduction to piano comping strategies and typical voicings. Good luck!

[@xX2BscXx]

hey, nice play. do you have the full pdf of the songbook? please let me know

[@soundole2701]

Thanks! Unfortunately I don't, sorry, but it should be possible to obtain the book through online retailers!

[@michelmottet6083]

C est bien et subtil

[@soundole2701]

Thank you, glad you think so!

[@Roro-rg9mf]

This is ingenious, I don't even like the beatles much. But this is so cool.

[@soundole2701]

Cheers mate, glad you think so!

[@francescocossentino4981]

Hi nice playing. Can I have the music sheet?

[@soundole2701]

Thanks! Sorry, I don't do scans for this stuff and I don't have the score easily accessible, but details of the publisher are in the video description :)

[@jesusalfonseca6600]

Hay i like the vídeo

[@soundole2701]

Thanks heaps mate! :)

[@masanft]

🙂🙂

[@masanft]

✨✨✨

[@0hhSly]

Hi can you upload the sheet music or maybe you already have a link ?

[@soundole2701]

Hey mate, I don't upload sheets for these sorts of publications, but you can get hold of it from amazon: it's from a collection called 'The Beatles for Jazz Piano'.

[@mcbainst]

Very loungey..and sleepy playing

[@Kevin-se6nc]

damn the chords so difficult..

[@soundole2701]

There's some pretty full on voicings, for sure. But hey, that's what pedalling is for :)

[@AcappellaGamer]

🥴

[@bobu5213]

Toooo much colour man, be careful not to oversaturate the function by laying the harmony to close together. There is a reason why 9's 11's and 13's are defined as being an octave up.

[@jampishon]

It's good but some accords are not suitable, for example 0:37 G13 to g and then g1>5>66> ? , baad ps. it's even forbidden

[@soundole2701]

Forbidden by what rule systems? I don't think there are many jazz musicians that would be upset by that progression, and it's got some pretty satisfying inner voice-leading!

[@LeeJordanMusic]

I didn't know the rule "forbidden" even existed in the jazz community XD

[@jampishon]

1) accord is described as Gb7, but there is even no 7, only 1> 3 5> 6 6> 9 (making V-I cadence), so in turn II> 6 6> would be described as V 3 3> what's always forbidden in any tonal systems. (even if not, 6 and 6> is strange also) 2) by adding some jazz cords to the already known music part we want to spice a bit a melody but not to change the question-answer cadences, it always brings down the notes in any music tournaments

[@MrBuddydance]

jampishon The beauty of music is that sometimes we can break out of molds and rules. Art is that way too.

[@myramyr09]

Brano splendido, ma completamente rovinato dal solito jazz assolutamente arbitrario.

[@albertmartin5978]

Change your piano !

[@yurgenmurgens8140]

Too much pedal ease up on it all blured togetha

[@soundole2701]

+Yurgen Murgens I changed pedal over every chord change bro...

[@himynameisben95]

Yikes

[@LascoDePasco]

Well, frankly speaking, nothing special indeed. Bur there are more about three hundred transcriptions of this beautiful Beatles song written by Paul McCartney! And it is only one of them.

[@calholder86]

Heavy foot on the pedal....terrible.

[@soundole2701]

Oh hey, I'm sorry, I can't seem to find any of your performances on your channel. Would you like to upload some so I can shit on them? Or maybe get an ounce of tact when you're talking to other human beings?

[@calholder86]

Soundole Music oh hey, if you want to see any of my performances you are free to come along to one of them and pay like the rest of my fans...KZbin isn’t for professionals. Enjoy that pedal - it’s the best part of your video.

[@soundole2701]

You know, of all the professionals I've worked with over the last decade, I've never met any that feel a need to belittle other people. It must feel pretty bad to be that bitter. I forgive you.

[@darynweir97]

Doesn't even sound like it, this is why I hate jazz 😴
