- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- A jazz piano lesson for late beginner/intermediate level focusing on how to play Blue in Green, by Miles Davis/Bill Evans for solo piano. featuring on screen midi keyboard and lead sheet to make it easy to follow along.
Please consider using the "Super Thanks" tip jar if you find these lessons useful. It helps to support me to make videos more frequently.
This lesson explains and analyses each individual chord voicing for the tune. We are mainly using two handed open chord voicings for this tune, combining 7th, 9th, 11th, 13th and altered chords for a nice rich sound.
This tune features on the iconic album Kind of Blue by Miles Davis - the best selling jazz record of all time!
After several months of messing around with this on and off, I’m able to play it from start from finish. Which does sound insane for 30 seconds of music. Thanks for allowing a complete newbie like me learn this amazing melody, Olly!
Congratulations
@@davidhernandez-uw1gj thanks david!
Perfect video. Thanks!
Just discovered your channel Olly after many years of struggling ,bought about everything watched all the the tutorials out there , I am now making a fresh start , after watching your video on lazy bird I am now determined to get the basics right , really inspired , great tutorial on blue in green Many Thanks
Thanks and I'm glad that you've found some of my videos useful - yes just working on the basics is a good idea, and just focus on one or two simple ideas - if I ever feel a bit lost or overwhelmed with a concept I always just go back to the basics
This is brilliant I love your tritone sub suggestion that works so nicely

Hey ! Awesome stuff, do you any advanced arrangement tho ? I find it really useful to listen to some other arrangements to craft my own
Hey, thank you :) I have a couple of recordings of it on my channel, although not sure if you'd call them advanced.. someone has posted the transcription of Bill Evans from Kind of Blue on UA-cam, should be easy to find with a search of that helps?
@@ollyonpiano yeah i've checked out your other videos that's why i asked :) Amazing, i'll do a quick search then thank you
❤❤❤❤ tu es trop cool
Thanks for the great introduction to blue in green very nice chord voicings and melody--just wish I could enlarge your lead sheet-very small on a phone-- thanks again- by the way--is your sheet from one of the Hal Leonard versions of the real book?--someone please let me know--🎵
Olly...I'm confused with what happens after the coda in measure 10? You play G,Bflat, D, E chord...but the chord in measure 11 starts with another Dmin9 (F on the top)...not an E. Please explain?
Hi Scott - When you get to the coda, you play bar 11 instead of bar 10, not as well as i.e. you jump straight to 11 as soon as you get to the coda sign. Hope that makes some sense
@@ollyonpiano Thanks...I had a feeling that was the way to play it. It seems unresolved stopping at the high F...
Beautiful....Im a little confused tho....When I first learned Blue in Green like 2 years ago, I learned it starting on D-9 and I've played along with the original recording and it sounds spot on to the recording. However, the iReal Pro app has it starting on Gmin with a very similar progression that you have here (with the chromatic Db7 going to C-7 etc). Where does this come from? Is this starting from a different section of the song? Is this a chord sheet of a different recording of Blue in Green (I know Bill Evans has several solo recordings of Blue in Green)..any insight into this?
Hey. On the original recording on Kind of Blue there's a piano intro that does start on a dm11 (dm9). The actual tune, as notated in the real book starts on the Gm7 (When Miles plays his first note). Real book charts rarely include intros and just give the head of the tune. Hope that clears it up?
Hi, thanks for sharing your work 👐 I've taken it from Real Book I and it starts with Bbmaj7#11 🥴@@ollyonpiano is it because a different edition maybe?
Hi Marina - Yes probably a different print edition, but Bbmaj7#11 is virtually the same as a Gm7 with an E in the melody (just a G in the bass instead of a Bb) Both work equally well @@moondancermarina
1:25 final result
Bill wrote it
does it start on gminor13 or bmajor#11? cause different versions seem to suggest either. is that a purely stylistic choice?
Either works well since they're basically the same minus the G in the bass for the BMaj7#11
You talk too much
