Playing Jazz is Hard! But Here's a Template For Endless Relaxing Lounge Jazz Piano... 

Thanks, finally a real 'beginner' tutorial that does not end with the author showing off some crazy piano skills. Appreciate the time you put into making the video. Keep it up!

A tip to enhance your videos: Play once what you trying to learn us at the beginning of the video so you can grasp my attention with what kind of beautiful stuff you want to learn us. Your piano sound level is to low and your voice is louder in my left ear (need some calibration in your recoding/setup). Thanks for the video though this is what people love to hear and play. Slow loungy/cocktail jazz is all we need.

I feel you. I had unmusical parents, both in not playing music, and in having very limited tastes in music. I was fascinated by jazz harmony from the very first time I heard it and considered it wizardry. I never imagined I would someday learn the tricks myself.

Excellent tutorial. Just what I need to chill out, never having need to perform or impress others. Nice calm voice, giving me time to absorb and understand. I could fiddle around for ages improvising using this method. Thanks.

This is gold! So helpful especially because it’s all in C 😎

This is (probably) the best introduction. A few hours to get the left hand secure, and then you can play forever, while trying out more and more ideas (and keys).

Just wonderful. Thank you!

Thank you for this, more power for creating more content, love lots.

Thanks very much. That's a real eye opener of a video you did there.

This was really good, thank you!

Very nice lesson , easy to understand thank you so much. 🎹🎹🎹

Thank you very helpful with the chord progresion patterns explained. I'm not a total beginner (but always oemthing more to learn), I have thought for a while this approach is the fastest to get sounding quite pleasant lounge type jazz. 🙏

Thank you. This has given me some good direction. Subbed 😊🎶👍

Thank You Maestro.👏🏻👏🏻

Awesome! Thank you!!

Great video. Thank you.

I have always wanted to be able to play this way. Gosh, so simple yet no one has revealed this to us. TQ so much.

thank you for uploading this vide, it was very helpful and so much fun 😆😊

Really useful, I was looking for something like this. Thank you

fantastic, exactly my style...finally i found something that fits me so well. Cheer ;)

Man y thanks beautiful tutorial

Thank you for getting me through the door and start playing something I like fast!

I love jazz and this rlly helped me with playing it, just turn up the piano volume by a bunch cuz it’s a bit hard to hear

Thank you for sharing, best regards from Argentina

This was great

This lesson was awesome. I just got done trying this technique out and when I came downstairs to ask my wife how it sounded she replied, “oh that was you playing”? She said the piano is her favorite instrument I have tried. Great easy lesson that you can do a lot with. Thanks a million.

I love that lesson, I’m a beginner. Your slow relaxing teaching is wonderful! I’m going straight to my keyboard. You’ve made my day, thank you so much.😊

Great lesson. I’m in. Happy trails to all !

wow, thank you so much for this video friend, such calm and easy explanation, the end result is so awesome! I've struggling to learn piano and have fun with it, to really enjoy what I'm playing and let me tell you, playing this is so so good! thanks again!

Really nice video !! I’m relaxed and I play better now ! Cheers

I wish I could like this twice. Great job

This did it for me. Now I can piano forever. After what feels like endless videos and instructions I can finallybjust sit down and play forever. Thank you so much!

This sounds good. It seems that you're getting exactly the sound that you're trying to get, which is the most important. Personally I struggle with finding whatever I play boring and samey after a while (even if it appears different and sophisticated at first, it doesn't last), so I find it hard to enjoy improvising for a long time. One thing I would recommend, if I may, and that could be the next step following your tutorial: use different chord voicings with inversions, with the idea of limiting the amount of jumping around between chords. So chords are likely to have some notes in common, it will be more smooth and will create internal voices (counter melodies created by playing the chords). Of course you don't ALWAYS have to aim for that, but it's the most common guide to knowing which voicing to use: play a chord from or close to the position of the last chord.

Thanks

Great video! Idk why but it made me think of gymnopedie 1 by satie

Very cool! This is coming from a metal head with an interest and background in keys! Peace my friend!

😅😅😅 great teacher always

Great information… I fell asleep though😮

Very cool, you really go along as if it was a personal lesson. BTW, what is the vst you're using to display the chords ?

First, I want to sincerely thank you for this video. It is great. Yes, yes, it seems that you share my idea of piano playing! I, too, love the idea of playing endless piano. Indeed, it's very therapeutic and relaxing. My name is Mark, and I'm on the cusp of turning 60, so I don't have any delusions of grandeur. In fact, I'm just a self-taught hack. Since I'm not married, and have no children, back during the COVID pandemic shutdown, I spent my life savings on an antique Chickering and Sons baby grand that was built in 1910. It seemed the entire world was dying, so what did I need a life savings for, right? Hahaha. So I stayed at home and taught myself jazz piano. Of course, I'm no Bill Evans, but that's OK; I'm simply playing for my own personal enjoyment in the privacy of my own home. (You can see my piano on my video "cats and a jazz piano" on my channel). Anyway, I'm just rambling. So I'll shut up. I just wanted to say hello and thank you, I've subscribed, and will return often. I can tell that this one video has so much quality information in it, I could spend a lifetime on this video alone exploring all of the endless possibilities. I can't thank you enjoy. If you're ever in the St Louis area, look me up. Respectfully, Mark

This was an amazing tutorial

❤

so clear thanks , i was desperate and thought i would never be able to play Jazz, no i feeling more comfortable just sitting at my piano and let flow... merci

This is a great lesson! 🎹 👌🏼

Hello, what software/app you using to display the key? Thank you

What is the name of the software you use in the video - showing keyboard and treble/bass clef?

Great video/explanation! Curious, have you ever just played what is described in this lesson in an actual “restaurant” lounge? I ask because that is my end goal and it appears if you can master this lesson with some solid improve on top you could pull it off without years of jazz lessons. Thanks. Appreciate any feedback.

what is this software called, that s allowing you to generate sheet music of what’s played?

The best lesson I e ever seen anywhere either in books tv or RU-vid thankyou for sharing

I can't hear keys. Any ways sounds great👏

You need a mic boom to stop the "Paa Paa Ba! breath sounds. Good lesson otherwise Thanks

The stride is throwing me a curved ball😢

😅😅bebop jazz piano please

I know you mean well my friend but it doesn’t seem the least bit jazzy, definitely not lounge jazz but more ethereal fumbling around.
