In this video, John Paul McGee accompanies the singer, Wendy Henderson Wyatt, singing "What A friend we have in Jesus" in the Key of F, while he plays on the piano. As usual, we both react and look at the techniques, vocabulary, and chords he uses to masterfully craft a story with this singer

@jaydabliu Месяц назад

I love the creativity he displays and thank you so much as always for the amazing breakdowns.. I do think he's definitely doing way too much.. I feel like accompanying such a beautiful singer should be measured and not distract too much from the singing (which is ultimately the main message the song is carrying). Part of being a great player is learning how to do things in moderation so they sound beautiful. Love your channel always bro

@complexity5545 Месяц назад

A secret that I learned when I was about 10-12 years old, was to play Disney songs. Most of those Disney composers from the jazz era had lots of macros or riffs that you can incorporated in your playing. That was also the time that I learned to play Broadway musical songs for the white people at school middle school. Alot of that stuff is learning to move back and forth between minor, augmented chords, and 3 note diminished chords and learning to add a 4 note in there somewhere when playing minor keys. Then play fourths, fifths, and major 3rds when filling over major chords. Sean has a very interesting way of explaining things and I enjoy it because I don't think like he does. He has very good perspective.

@jefflittlemusic3205 Месяц назад

Tonycowin, I appreciate your response. As an Atheist, you kindly handled our exuberance to share God’s plan with you…smile. Music to a Believer is one evidence for God’s existence, so we rightly so, get excited about “un-earthly” music. It is beautiful that atheists and believers alike, can appreciate and acknowledge beautiful music that seems to skip over our individual platforms, beliefs and biases. I listened to a secular artist last night in a public square outside and admitted that the talent this musician had, seemed to come from a creative space that no one else on earth seemed to be able to access themselves, unless some “key” to that talent was given to them. Creativity with skill, is a crazy thing to try and loin down, with only a scientific mindset. Thanks again for being kind and honest in your responses. I am guessing we both had the jaw of our minds dropped, when we listened to this piano line…grin. Peace to you and hope you keep listening to music from our side of the stage, as I am still amazed by music from outside my belief system.

I don’t think it was too much, but understand the comments. I’m guessing he was too busy for the moment (eg- more runs than chords).

@CHASECOM3 Месяц назад

@1masterfader Месяц назад

The freedom in embellishment is beyond music theory. No rules apply when you are in the flow state of playing. The only thing I remember about some of my solos is the reaction after the solo is done. Notes alone do not explain or convey the flow state. However, looking at the name of a chord and examining the possiblities juxtiposing the melody is exilerating.

@SeanWilsonPiano Месяц назад

Nicely worded

@TheSeeking2know Месяц назад

Wendy is a lovely singer. I discovered her recently and now follow her on IG. I do think Kim Burrell would be more suitable for this jazzy singer as she would play vocally and trade with him. Ms. Wendy, in my humble opinion needed a bit more aligned player who would start behind her and just provide flourishes within the scope of what she was singing - her style.

On strict piano harmony and soloing, his artistry is impressive but as an accompaniment for her he was doing too much in my opinion. He’s soloing at the end of each phrase.

Her voice couldn’t flow as it should with him actually distracting her from her own flow.. trust.. I know what I’m talking about.. less is more In REAL live situations.. u only play like this in smaller churches and or Shed sessions and or open mics with a bunch of musicians around.. but in NO PROFFESIONAL setting will this fly with ANY major ARTIST.. u won’t be HIRED back!!

@@kazbj9265 If you go look this guy up, you’ll see that he even plays behind choirs like this. I saw a video where he was doing this and he had to keep telling them to sing. It made the whole song feel very unsure! If he would shorten his phrasing a bit, the songs would be more effective! Remember, MOST people can’t even understand the language of Jazz music. That’s part of the reason jazz isn’t as popular today. Most people understand emotions and how music makes them feel! I don’t care how great your chops are, if the people can’t comprehend it, it’s NOT effective!
