Whisper Not | IMPROV with the 'wrong' blues scale | Jazz Piano College 

When you said other people always sound better than you I wanted to cry.

Relaxed and so cool!

You always have exactly what I need. Definitely my favorite RU-vid teacher! I requested blues for Alice a few months ago and you did that video which helped me, and I passed my audition!

Brilliant. Thank you.

Do you even know how cool you are sir. Thank you for this

Super playing

Fantastic

Thanks for the video. So to explain it a bit theoretically further ahead : The scale for a Valt is the minor melodic scale up a semitone. D7alt -> Ebm6 as you said. Now to remember which pentatonic scale to play, find the corresponding melodic minor and play the minor pentatonic a whole tone above it. Eg. A7alt -> Bbm6 -> play Cm penta D7alt -> Ebm6 -> Fm penta. In your video you first use pentatonic for major penta then for minor penta which is kinda confusing, I like to talk in minor pentatonics. Now on the II of the minor II V you can use the new penta as if on the Valt as you showed : playing Cminor over Em7b5 A7alt. But you can also take my logic and apply it to the II : Em7b5 -> Gm6 -> Play Am pentatonic. Am7b5 -> Cm6 -> Dm penta Cheers !

I like the sound of the wrong blues scale - it's got some real bite to it. Also that little aside of why other people always sound better than yourself was great. I mean it's kinda obvious when you think about it but for some reason it didn't click until you mentioned it. Maybe my playing isn't as bad as I thought....maybe :)

Tony Winston, your piano playing always sounds fresh on any tune you play, as if you were playing it for the first time. It appears that you tune into or feel the overtones of the chords and this guides your timing and phrasing of the melody. Oscar Peterson talked about the importance of listening to the overtones on the acoustic piano. What are your thoughts on this?

Thanx, Maestro. BTW, coooool shirt. More songs where you sing for us, pls. 😎

Hey Tony. Incredible channel. Do you know funk? Maybe some B scale. Do you think you can do it?

Hi Tony ! Cool thinking ! Dm ending ?
