Dear Oliver, at 8:02, you say it's pure coincidence, it doesn't mean anything... But I tried in other tonalities, it works ! When I play 2-5-1 in Cmin for example, my right hand plays the C triad, the Eb triad and the G triad (with the corresponding left handgrip of course)... It's an easy method to play 2-5-1 in minor in every tonality ! You're a wonderful teacher, I started to play the piano one year ago, I do your exercices every week, I'm so grateful. English is not my native language so I can't tell what I have in my mind. Thank you so much !
30 years ago I had to stop playing bebop on the guitar. It was such an amazing feeling playing jazz. I studied 2 and a half years on a jazz institute in Munich. Well, a lot is buried. 30 years is a long time. Of course there were a Lot of, not directly faults but in my todaŷs opinion not “round “ moments. Difficult to explain… Now my wife arranged it during 4 years that I get enough buoyancy to start over. God bless my wife. With an exact feeling for what’s wrong in my ideas. I decided for myself to polish a raw gem? ( the music itself not my talent :-) So I found this site and was impressed about the feeling of your playing. Since two weeks now I started to dig out all the old knowledge, the old feeling and the old ideas and try to give them this kind of expression wich satisfy my soul. With your ideas and famous teaching ability I started over now to play Guitar again. Bought a rally good feeling Guitar and adapt your ideas to kick out the “wrong” moments in my playing. Starting from scratch, more or less, with an huge knowledge. And now the ability, I also became older and more wise, to kick off the unnecessary ballast. And you, Oliver, are one of my starter in a new (old) living with Jazz. Adapting your art of playing on my new jazz mood is more than satisfying. Thank you Oliver for being one of my first teacher in helping me to organise my old knowledge in an more satisfying and interesting way. Thank you so much. There are so much more I want to tell you but it’s a forum… So I’ll send you an Email if you are interested in. Cheers Oliver, Oliver H.
Thanks a lot for your wonderful and very encouraging message. I'm so glad that some of my videos can help you back on the track. You're always welcome to send me an email. You can find my email address in the about section of this channel. Cheers from Oliver
As a fellow manual worker (but with no redeeming features whatsoever), and barely able to identify the business end of a piano, I can only marvel at the gentle but relentless ease with which you enlighten us with these lessons. Being able, purely for my own enjoyment, to recreate these beautiful interludes and even create my own input has never before seemed to be anywhere near within my grasp. I now approach the Autumn of my life with a childlike anticipation. Oliver, you are blessed with many gifts and you have a truly generous spirit. Please keep off the bus until the virus has passed.
Sums my feelings up exactly! At 74 I too am approaching Autumn, but never too late to attempt to play and deeply enjoy these atmospheric interludes, your comment is now 2 years old ,so hopefully you now know the business end of your piano, and are still enjoying this magic!!!!!!
Oliver, you are responsible for returning me in piano studying after 20 years. I adore and listen jazz about 30 years. Your videos are totally educational. Thank you so much!!!
You are the best tutoring instructor in Jazz and Blues piano music here dear Sir Oliver Phren. You made it very simple and slow for me to understand. How very kind of you. I am so blessed watching and following your video instructions. Amazing teacher.
@@FunWithHubris Clearly 1:52 for me :) The Am7 does half the job in a C improv..Actually, I discovered the power of the second inversion today.. gives you a "free 9th" :)
This teacher has such an effective reaching technique. I'm following along on my keyboard. So easily creating new tunes from these excercises. Thank you.
Just found your channel, just started with a keyboard so I thought this lesson would be way too advanced for me, but after a couple of hours I can repeat most of this, albeit slowly and with errors, but this is gold for me and is exactly what I would wish to learn and progress with. Sometimes the Universe does work in our favour! Thankyou so much!
Perhaps we all know the theory on the melodic minor scale but it is difficult to put it into practice to improvise with creativity. This tutorial has set in motion my creative mind. I found other combinations of triad or melodic patterns useful for improvisation. Thank you so much Oliver!
I realy don't know how I should thank you. But I can just say : thank you. Your lessons are bringing on the rigth way to improve myself. May I encourage you to keep on sharing with us your great knowledge .
Hey Oliver....nice job... just working with melodic minor scales and it´s a huge tool to practice... thanks 4 everything.... i sometimes i get emotionaly for the way you explain stuff just for fun, for those people who never get chance to study music can now achieve great results
Love it. C lydian dominant sounds beautiful over this progression and then it occurred to me it's just a mode of G melodic minor. Thank you so much for making these videos available. There's always an aha moment
Muchísimas gracias, sus clases son muy didácticas y estoy súper agradecido porque estoy aprendiendo mucho, muchisisimas gracias por ayudarnos, que Dios lo colme de Bendiciones.
Would please i want you to know mr oliver you are the only one you can do this >> i need one long lesson explain advanced chords progression min and mag and all jazz scales to use in advanced long solo and till us why but it 9 . 11 . 13 and so on please i need to andrstand when i go to chord and ather and why :::big great thanks for you mr Oliver
Thanks a lot for your input. I have so many requests and I can not promise anything. But nevertheless, it's always nice with more input, I'll think about it...
Hi Oliver! Very nice video and very good technique that you give us, once again. Everything is always done with care and quality. Thank you a thousand times for everything!
Yes that's a good idea. In this Music video (a song, not teaching) I play "in" and "out" the A-Dorian scale using the minor pentatonic hand grip: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZlYew7NxA6A.html First there is a short theme (and in the middle). But never mind the theme - it's when I play the A-Dorian solo you can see how I play "in" and "out" the A-Dorian scale. When playing inside the text above the keys is blue. When playing outside the text is red. Maybe it could be fun for you to watch ;) Best regards Oliver
@@NewJazz yeees that is what I would like! Playing with a bass line in A or whatever, maintening that bass there, and play outside when you want, where to go,... What options work better, that is the jazz I like!! The Herbie funk records style. It would be great!! Amazing that performance!!
Wonderful lesson, can you make a guide to all your lesson? What i mean is you can show us the order to all the lesson, which one should we watch first to learn jazz. Thanks in advance.
Hi and thanks a lot :) Each lesson can be seen individually. But anyway I made this suggested order: ru-vid.com/group/PLd8gNAxPUcJw1DmmWooCWx_jgKzgBfYGp Best regards from Oliver
Thank you Oliver, this is really great. Especially this coincidence on 7:34, where we play the pattern of the key we are in. I'm glad, that I have already practiced the second Inversions of the major triads in all keys. That makes it much easier for me. Nevertheless, I have to practice (especially with the chords from the last lesson), to get familiar with it. I love you for your videos. Thanks a lot.
