6 Levels of Closed-Position ("Shearing") Voicings 

These videos are some of the best jazz piano pedagogy I've ever encountered. You're not only an absolute shredder with a wealth of knowledge, but you're a very thoughtful and articulate teacher. Just bought your book and would love to take some lessons with you someday.

Love your playing towards the end

Very clear and rich with info! I am buying the book!

Outstanding lesson.

Great stuff!Thank you !

Barry Harris is somewhere there looking at us, probably thinking don't miss out on borrow notes) great job with the lesson, sounds really nice. Will be rewatching it and practicing

You are the heir apparent to the great Dick Hyman. Your playing and teaching are amazing. I am ordering your book and look forward to supporting your wonderful work!

excellent!

Excellent lesson, only one EVER on locked hands that has actually properly explained how to harmonise and what to do on the non chord notes! Well done

I'm a young pianist (just turned 21 and been playing jazz for almost 4 years now.) and with so little experience, sometimes it's easy to feel like I'm getting stuck in a rut or playing the same kind of stuff a lot. Your playing reminds me just how much of a privilege it is to play the piano and what's beautiful, complex, and interesting instrument it really is. I'm trying to get my learning mindset more into how young kids learn by following my curiosity and really being attentive to the sound and quality of what I'm learning rather than trying to intellectualize everything. My ears are improving, but by nature, I think I'm a very visual person, so I love to see what your hands are doing while you play. My focus is to keep my eyes on the long-term, not worrying so much about how good I sound now to other people now. I just want to keep finding sounds I like adjacent to the ones I know well and expand my understanding of the music by being patient and really letting myself absorb what's already near me. Thanks for your beautiful playing. It's very evocative of some gorgeous imagery and you really create a fun world for me to explore!

Very good! I have been teaching, performing for a l...o...n...g time-but this is one of the clearest explanations of Shearing style block chords that has actually got me to understand harmonically what he was doing.

18:31 after you resolve "A" to "G", on second G you harmonize it with a G diminished. That sparked the idea to see the resolved G as a none-chord tone and then resolve that to maybe an "F" sharp in D major chord. Thank you!

Very helpfull, thank you!!

WOW! That says it all.

damn shame theres not more people that have seen that, it's crystal clear and of a direct use! thank you so much! :D

Chords from 6th diminished scale (6 chord & diminished chord). Wonderful 👌🏾

Loved this session on the closed position voicings. Very clear and gradual. Excellent explanations and examples and advice. Thank you!

Very profound lesson. Thank you.

Another awesome video, many thanks🙏

Thanx, Maestro 🌹🌹🌹🔥

Hi Jeremy bought your book. Love how you go simple to complex in relatively short video. You seem well organised but also creative.

Nice, Jeremy. Thanks. Great video. I ordered the book.

Great video thanks!

very nice explained, thanks

Hi Jeremy, I thoroughly enjoyed the deep dive into this - so enlightened and inspired..I def want a signed copy of your book. I'm watching lots of your other uploads too. Many thanks for sharing Jeremy 😁🎹

Love you always

Great explanation. Thank you

thanks needed this

So good!

you lost me on octatonic! so this technique is to play chords on every melody note, interesting, sounds nice. Thanks!

Jeremy - Wanted to say that from my abilities, level 1 is already a lot. (paused at 8:41) I mean, I understand and can follow for sure, and I have the concept committed to memory after the one viewing, but execution is another monster. I have yet to put my fingers to the test, but I picture myself doing this slowly even in C, till my fingers learn the muscle memory needed, I suppose. 2's simple enough. 3 - 18:45 - with the C 7, you're building a G chord? Why not a C chord? 4 - Thick with tech, but I can follow. Hilarious about the slip of Plagal and Lydian. I totally get that! 5 - Not bad. Can follow. :) Love the quick arpeggios. 6 - Great way to tie it all together. I'm trying to get my chops up to snuff, and been practicing regularly again with decent results. Even since I saw you play in the talent show, I always had a pipe dream of being as good as you. :) I got some work to do before I'm ready to master this, and I have a couple books lined up I want to work through first. But after that, I'm coming for yours. Liked and subscribed. Keep up the good work, man. Let's keep in touch. Thanks a ton for the vid.

Great video. Beautiful playing as well!

Great

Jeremy, this is excellent. Really well presented and very thorough.

Jeremy Siskind is the opposite of wasting time

Such a wonderful video but there were a bunch of distracting audio buzzes throughout.

Hi Jeremy, found your lessons and they are amazing, I love that you go into advanced stuff, and the OP quotes What chords are happening around 25:55? It looks like you are doing fast F6 (Dm7) arpeggios ; then FMaj7 ; then AbMaj7 ; then ??... You lost me after the 3rd voicing, if any, please help ;)

No mentioning of Barry Harris?

At 16:44 couldn't you also play a Bb Dim7 over the A so as to create tension in the chord?

Nice video! What software are you using for the sheet music? Is it handwritten on an Ipad or similar? Looks great!

Ufff
