Solo Piano BASICS | You'll Hear It 

OK, it's true. Nobody is perfect, including geniuses trying to teach us the basics. We expect that very accomplished people, who are committed to teaching, should be master teachers. Why do we assume that? Wishful thinking.

@@mmmludicious It was just a funny thing i noticed... no shade. I totally think they're great, its not like I'm roasting tf out of them. Chiiiiillllllll, my guy. XD

Hey. Checkout the courses at Open Studio. You would love

The one thing I was already great at with piano was making the guests leave, but thanks anyway

Thanks. Share this with your folks!

Very skilled, no doubt.

pretty much everyone at their level is very skilled, it's just a matter of taste and other factors that determine where they stack up.

I have a few ideas: 1) just play R 7 and forget that 10th. or play R 3 7 if adding the 3rd isn’t too low and muddy. Or hit the Root, hold the sustain pedal and quickly jump up to hit the 7 and 3. Work on getting that rhythm to work with the song. Or, in some contexts just do 7 R 3 or 5 7 3. Lots of options!

"Learn the Rules Like a Pro, So You Can Break Them Like an Artist" - Picasso i think that's the purpose of most educational material. teach the stuff that can be taught easily and then let people make it their own once they mastered the basics. it's pretty hard, if not impossible, arguably pointless even, to try to teach this type of creativity and artistry you described. and who knows, if Evans turned it off. maybe the drummer and bassist in his head were playing some crazy rubato stuff but toghether ;D. that's the beauty of using your imagination. anything possible

Coming from a guitarist: There's too much rubato solo piano/ guitar that is poorly done and over done. Bill Evans was a master, but ya better believe that he could swing by himself before going full rubato. If done wrong--like many of us not at Adam or Peter's level--you end up either train wrecking or putting the audience to sleep. Learning how to develop your inner drummer and swing by yourself will HELP you play rubato--because you'll learn how to push and pull the tempo and make it elastic WHILE pushing the composition forward. You learn it by listening, learning a little bit of drums, vocalizing drum rhythms, and becoming more creative with the metronome. Time well spent.

This comment confuses me... I'd wager real money that everyone, who's listened to or played an instrument with accompaniment, for even just a little while, or has learned a language, or even just lived a little, hears or feels a virtual grid, or some sort of rhythmic accompaniment, when noodling alone or solo playing a song you know well enough not to have to think about it. I've just spent the last 30 minutes tripping out about the pushback to this description. Right now, my inner beat is more precise than my playing! (I can't entirely tell if it's accurate or precise when I'm playing... only if I record myself and listen back. I'd rather hear a precise sway, with floaty notes, than precise notes gridded to a floaty sway, if that makes sense. So, that's what often seems to happen.) "Nonmusical" people (another term I have doubts about) can dance to songs they only can hear in their heads... and often, they hadn't thought of the song on purpose beforehand. That's another manifestation of this natural human ability. When I first started recording my playing, I wondered why it didn't sound like it did when I played it. There were 2 big reasons. The biggest was that, when playing, I was listening as a performer rather than as a participatory audience member. A smaller, but still actionable for me, reason, was that the recording only played back what I actually played - it couldn't have recorded the parts I was playing off of🤣. I think, in some ways, it's good to restrict young people (artificially or not) to having only the cheesiest of drum/bass machines... then, kids can develop their own virtual accompaniment, to supplement the metronome/chintzy auto-accompaniment. Okay, it's been 45 minutes, and I'm done thinking about this aspect now.

keyscape I think

Hey Rachel, they do a lot more teaching on their courses at Open Studio. Check it out. Openstudiojazz.com

@@OpenStudioJazz If this video is a sales pitch for the Open Studio courses, then you have done yourselves a dis-service

Rachel, it's a pod cast first. If they didn't have commentary, it wouldn't fit the pod cast feel. As someone who has a bunch of their courses over at Open Studio--they do a BUNCH more teaching on the actual courses. Peter's courses are incredibly deep--one ten minute section of a course changed how I approach modal tunes. Adam is a pro at teaching the FUNdamentals. You can preview the courses on the site.

@@pickinstone good to know...thanks

pickinstone that's true! They are trying to sell their lessons! Good to hear the lessons are not as verbose and full of jokes or joking as the podcast. That they actually get to work on the teaching part. I'm sorry if I stepped on anyone's toes or hurt feelings. Thank you for your feedback.

ichabe dichlieb bald guys cool,

The bald teacher is one of the best legendarische teamchef i ever met.
