THIS IS IT!!! This is the lesson that connects all the hours of doing scales, plus Hanon & Riff exercises, connects all that with the key to release our inner Improvisor. This lets us be free to branch out and experiment. Great lesson! The Student Download is probably also worth the time.
To-the-point and extraordinarily helpful. This is just the sort of essential grounding that I hope your course will have as a base! Many thanks for this excellent tutelage.
What a great video. You are a great teacher and player. I’m going to have to sit and write this out to study it. PS May I compliment your bass player also. He’s awesome.
Hey Gjermund, thanks for another great lesson and advice at the end. I was just wondering what kind of chords you would generally play behind a bass solo. Thanks
As a beginner, I've discovered the scale-to-one principle on major ii-V-Is just a week ago (I've been taking lessons for a month), and it really felt like a game changer. Thank you a lot for the exercise idea. I have two questions, though : when the ii-V-i resolves on a minor chord (let's say Em7b5 - A7 - Dm, like the first bars of Beautiful Love), if I follow your tip, I would start off with the D major scale for the two first bars, and then move on to the C major scale (Dm being the ii of C). Am I correct or is there something else I should know? Also in the same tune we have dominant 7 chords "on their own" (Bb7 to A7, and Dm to B7b5 to Em7b5) : what scale shoud I play on those dominant chords? Do I consider them as Vs and play the I-major scale?
So take all minor chords as a ii from a ii-V-I and use the scale from the one to solo over. Change scales over new minor chord? Thats what I understood if you could tell me if im right. Great video, i have subscribed
Hi, Caleb. Thanks for your comment. The point is that you play the scale to the 1 chord over the whole II-V-I progression. So you don't change the scale when you play a minor chord. So Dmi = C scale, for example. Hope it helps
Thank. I understand this now and i think it wil teally improve my playing along with a lot of the other stuff on your chanrl. Thanks for the great videos
HI, thanks for this lesson but despite entering my email details no link has come through for either this exercise download or you free jazz lesson link. Can you advise please? many thanks Vanessa
Hello. Not yet, but we're working on translating the whole Jazz Piano Step-by-Step Course into Spanish. Lot of work, but we'll get there in not too long. Stay tuned ;)
Then you can tweak the line by changing the note accordingly. For example: If you have a (b13) in your left hand, simply replace the 13 with a (b13) in your line.
You're amazing but too advanced for me as yet with my old fingers. PS: your left hand ring finger looks much longer than your left little finger when positioned on the keyboard and mine are not and I can't stretch as far as you.
Hi Robert. Thanks for your feedback. If you get the principle, you can use it over any ballad as well. (No fast-playing required). Well observed: My left pinky finger is not long enough for the 10ths. So: I started using my ring finger in stead.
Robert Bernard Robert I play many things for fun with just a few fingers.. replay and I'll give you a 3 finger lick that is very professional I do at probably 64 this .
Yu are a really master but i did not like this class hahaha ,. I would rather frases and pentatonics scales ..... but I know you Know so much jazz . greeting from venezuela
Thank you. Yes, it is a matter of taste. The practice presented in that video was a true eye-opener for me, because I used to struggle playing longer lines. But, phrases and pentatonic scales, yes thanks. That too works fine!
Sorry to hear. The core idea is to play the scale to the ONE chord. So in a II-V-I progression, for example: Dmi7 - G7 - Cmaj7, you can play notes from the C scale all the way throughout the chord progression.
Fantastic course and Tricks, I definitely recommend bit. Thanks a lot Gjermund.
Thank you! The Jazz Piano Step-by-Step Course is my life's work.
This is by far the BEST tutorial on improvisation that I have ever come across

Hey Gjermund, thanks for another great lesson and advice at the end. I was just wondering what kind of chords you would generally play behind a bass solo. Thanks
Hi Jake! Thanks for your feedback. The chords in the end is mostly upper-structure voicings.
brilliant
Can u do another lesson on bebop lines, but in depth steps to practice like this one?
Yes. Will add it to the backlog
Good job. 👍
I think it would be very helpful for you to put finger numbers for the notes in your various exercises. Thank you.
Thanks. Will add it as a request and see if more people want this.
Super brilliant musician. What is the make of your piano? It has a clean and crisp tone.

Youbrecdoing excellent job
Not on UA-cam, but through The Jazz Piano Step-by-Step course, these topics are covered in a much greater detail.

+Dawn Rays Music - Thanks!

Glad you enjoyed 👍🏼
I m really initial p.. but anyways have to do the free things right now but IIT seems to be worth it..

Hi, Vanessa.
I'm sorry about that. Looks fine here. Will you send us an email to support@popjazzonline.com and we can investigate it?
Thanks
do you have the videos in spanish?
Hello. Not yet, but we're working on translating the whole Jazz Piano Step-by-Step Course into Spanish. Lot of work, but we'll get there in not too long. Stay tuned ;)
Hi, what happens if the left hand has an altered chord?
Then you can tweak the line by changing the note accordingly. For example: If you have a (b13) in your left hand, simply replace the 13 with a (b13) in your line.
Problem w/download page; will not load alpha keyboard!!!
Checked the download page, and it should work now. Please let me know otherwise!

Over my head. I watched a couple of times. You changed scales with each cord used rather staying in one key. I don't get it.
