  • We'll learn a simple and thrilling method to approach Lydian - in that way we'll create an Exciting and Fun Lydian Playground suited for Modern Jazz improvisation. We can use the Lydian Playground both when playing with or without a band.
    First we'll learn to play Lydian by using a simple Major Triad Add2 structure. Then we'll do thrilling Lydian Progressions. Then we'll play gripping Contrary and Oblique Motions. And finally we'll exercise thrilling Lydian Motifs and Phrases.
    In this NewJazz Music video • Modern jazz in LYDIAN ... I play a Lydian Jam Vamp ("Lydian Jamp") together with Fabricio Pereira (bass) and Erik Frandsen (drums). I use the exact same jazz techniques as we've learned in our NewJazz lesson. I've of course made the usual Graphical Overlay so that you can see the hand grips in use on top of the piano. I really hope that you'll enjoy :)
    All NewJazz lessons are free, public and for everybody. I have no sponsors and I sell no merchandise. I'm just little me trying to make Music the EPIC CENTER of everything! If you want to help me keep going you are so much welcome to make a small voluntary donation at either www.PayPal.me/NewJazz or / newjazz
    You can also just give me a nice like - moral support is also great support!!! Thank you so much :) :) :)

It has a built-in metronome feature that can be used to help musicians stay in time with each other. The metronome can be set to a specific tempo and time signature, and each musician can hear it through their headphones or speakers. Jamtaba also offers other tools such as chat and file-sharing to help musicians collaborate effectively. They are synchronized.

    Im curious, do you ever play an acoustic piano? I'm a few years into learning on a digital piano, with a similar style to yours, and I find that the sustain pedal is way more forgiving on the keyboard. Do you do any practice targeting pedal work? I have found that playing a slower and ambient style has made my pedal technique a bit too lax. When I go to play something faster, I have to much more aware of my pedaling. When playing in the style of the video, it can be easy to just hold the pedal down.
    Always enjoy your videos! Glad to see you have gained so many subs!

    Hi Oliver, I was thinking about the pattern you're using here. I could be wrong but the structure is very similar harmonically to the pentatonic one of your lessons on polimodality. There You get the Lydian mode by a pentatonic row in the key of C i.e. A, E and B minor pentatonic and in this lesson we have triads G C and D establishing modality. So we could say that pattern changes but harmony stay the same. I would like to get your thinking about that.
    Best regards

    I am taking Jazz seriously these days and I finished your beginner playlist. What playlist would you recommend next?

    • @NewJazz
      @NewJazz  Рік тому +1

      Well, each lesson can be seen individually and they are actually not meant for the purpose of being watched in a specific order. So the idea is that you just zap around and choose whatever interests you. Many lessons start up easy and then they get harder and harder. So if a lesson becomes too difficult (or weird) you just skip that lesson and make a fresh start with another one. That’s the main idea!!! I talk more about this way of learning Music in this video: ua-cam.com/video/a735i7FZlmI/v-deo.html
      But anyway, I’ve made this playlist trying to sort the videos in a suggested order: ua-cam.com/play/PLd8gNAxPUcJw1DmmWooCWx_jgKzgBfYGp.html
      At the front page of the NewJazz channel you also have other different entrances to the lessons: ua-cam.com/users/newjazz
      And on the “playlist tab” you’ll find even more categories/chunks of lessons: ua-cam.com/users/newjazz/playlists

    • @NewJazz
      @NewJazz  Рік тому

      Hi :) I'm still not totally sure about what the numbers illustrates - the steps on a specific scale maybe? But maybe I can answer your question anyway. The hand grip technique is not meant as a tool to play specific phrases or melodies. We often can't use the hand grip technique to play a written song melody. But though you may not be able to play a specific melody you can still extract thousands of different phrases from a simple hand grip. The hand grip technique is ment as an improvisation tool; a tool to structuralize our improvisation and to set the mind free. Cheers from Oliver

    Or we do mean Lydian on F?
    In otherwords the natural keys!!

    • @NewJazz
      @NewJazz  Рік тому

      Hi :) Good question. I mean Lydian on C. That's C in the bass and the notes c-d-e-f#-g-a-b. The G Major scale share those keys - but we do not hear G Major, because C is our main Key. So we hear C Lydian with it's characteristic augmented 4th step.
      And correct; Lydian on F share keys with the C Major scale.
