wonderful video ! You are a great teacher because you sucess to keep your feelings when you play for demonstration and explanation. I like very much your Abm7 . You play with love and you teach with love. Thanks !
I just watched your latest podcast about Solo Piano (Level 1: Ballads) and learned a lot. I’m currently working on Here’s That Rainy Day and it’s sounding good to me. I was having trouble with soloing which brought me here and this is great info. I have one question… I can’t reach the tenth comfortably, and I know I can do something like play the 1 and THEN the 7 & 10 but I don’t want to be too repetitive with that motion (or is that okay?) and 1 & 7 alone sounds incomplete to me. Maybe I’m just being picky… do you have any advice?
Hi @Grizzly bear: thanks for the question! There are many different scales that we use during improvisation, there are also other approaches that don't use scales. I would suggest checking out our other podcast videos about improvisation for more on that.
Thank you Brendon this really helped. By the way you also have an amazing speaking voice. You could also be a radio presenter. Love listening to your sound. How about you play and perform any public domain jazz number so you tube does not restrict ' any jazz ballad. Would really love that. Thank you again.

I appreciate your complimentary words, Elize! Thank you for the request!
Love the video, is it just me tho or does the piano vst sound kinda shitty
Thanks for watching!

Neither could Errol Garner
:((, there are ways to get around it though @Valerie! -Bijan
You could use the sustain pedal to hit lower note first and jump to top note.
mucha charla y el video pierde su importancia
