This is by far one of the best videos I've seen teaching scales. I was expecting a dry "here's the pentatonic, here's the mixolydian, here's the phrygian" like most other videos, but you exceeded every expectation I had. Absolutely phenomenal!
Thank you so much! Your sentiment that we exceeded your expectations really means a lot to us. Thank you again for watching and if you could help us spread the word (social media / word of mouth) about our channel, we would greatly appreciate it!
It is RARE to find someone that plays as awesome as you do, that takes the time to explain it as thoroughly as you have! Much less make a video for FREE so that others can learn. Thank you for a tremendous course!
Corey, I've been playing for decades and this is masterful. Not only how you break it down, but also your good nature and encouragement in helping so many others. I hope this kind of feedback reminds you that you have a real impact on real people. That's a gift, and so are your sessions.
i really like how you teach man,a lot of teachers just explain without demonstrating and that makes it hard to understand where you actually use the information when performing and your way of teaching gives students that thrill of thats"wow thats cool i wanna learn that"

You can search all over UA-cam, dig even but never you will find such a great teacher!!!! We wholeheartedly appreciate you Corey, you such a blessing to the music industry.
Corey, I just found you. To me you are my birthday present. Man your playing first puts a smile on my face. Then to see how you are sharing your gift with us is such an inspiration. I'm excited to see how your style of teaching touches my ears, hands, mind and my heart. Thank You For Brightening My Musical Development.
Without a doubt, the best presented and VALUABLE information on the topic I've seen on the interweb. I'm just beginning on my journey, but I have a clear goal now. Thank you! There should be a "Love" button!
Hey Maria! Thank you so much for purchasing. Please check out this video I made showing you how to access your files! skilledmusician.com/how-do-i-access-my-product/
You are a great teacher, I cannot read and write western music theory , but just watching your video I have learnt to fuse your scales with the Indian scales/ragas that I learnt growing up as a kid. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with the world
I've been watching and learning music from a lot of UA-cam channels, but your content is by far the best I've ever encountered so far. I never knew that it would take more than 30 minutes to explain 3 SCALES!!! Thanks a lot Mr. Corey
Ever wonder how some people are able to improvise with exotic sounding scales? Have you ever wanted to improve your improvisational scales? In this video, we explore 3 scales and how to apply them to exponentially improve your playing!
do the transcriptions contain finger numbers? (might also be an improvement for future videos if you spelled them while showing patterns. not that ez to pick up stuff straight and go praccticing otherwhise. but overall great vids, thanks! and thanks for having them public, big respect!!)
@@SkilledMusician No THANK YOU, there are all these things that you hear in gospel which sound unusual (but nice) to my (Scottish) ear, and you explain them all so clearly (where others not so much). SUBSCRIBED:)
This Video changed my life. Thank you so much. I never knew I could sound this hip with stuff I more or less could already play but never understood how to apply. Amazing
Great video. Basically what you're saying is get the basics down! Like learning you're SCALES!!!! I've heard these runs and riffs in so many Gospel songs. I'm encouraged by the fact that getting these scales learned and perfected with drastically improve my ability to learn songs quickly and with less frustration . Thank you so much!!!!!!
Just finished the video and can genuinely say this is the best resource I have ever had the pleasure of learning from. Can’t wait to see more of your stuff
Wow. This was unreal. Thank you so much for this. You are definitely one of the best teachers I've come across on the net. Helps me immensely. I'd love if you did this same video for all the other traditional church modes and some other 'out there' scales. Thanks again, Corey!
Bless you Sir.... this opened up soooo much. The same things I’ve been playing 25 years, now I know why and have theories behind my playing.... keep teaching us Brother, your work is not in vein.
Amazing to watch your fingers on the piano.. so precise, fast,, accurate and so easy for you... It must be. pleasure to have such skills for improvising and expression..You are an inspiration.
I just recently picked up bass and piano (coming from an old tabs-only guitar player) and your channel has elevated my theory understanding and vocabulary a ton. Thank you for sharing so much information with examples :)
Dude, you're blowing my mind. I'm a guitarist, and coming at this stuff from blues & rock. But you're showing me great approaches, and explaining it so well. What I really dig is that you show the ideas musically. A lot of the concepts I had, but not how to use them. Also for me, I am starting to understand and incorporate into my playing some of the things jazz & other keyboard players do so well, so it doesn't sound "scalish" or like typical guitar sounds. Thanks for some great videos - not just for keys!
There's 141K viewers, of this great content. Surely, the anointing you don't honour, will never be part of you. It's a universal cocept. Apprenticeships are based on that concept. I propose, that we should all donate, say at least 10 dollars per subscriber to enable Corey to produce more and more of this great content. Disclosure: I have never met Corey and he has not asked me to solicit for donations. I only discovered the channel less than 2 months ago all the way-downunder (Oz). One thing I surely know, my Jazz piano skills improved, just by watching the videos. I want to honour your work. Let me know how I can send my donation.
Wow Peter! Thank you so much for your amazing words! I really appreciate it! And I'm so glad to hear that our videos have been helpful. In regards to donations, you are not the first person to ask about this, so I went ahead and created a place where people can give donations. Here's the link - www.paypal.com/paypalme2/SkilledMusician Again, thank you so much for your generosity and humble spirit! Be Blessed and Happy Practicing!
This is Great! I’ve made living as a rehearsal pianist for 15 years, so I can move my fingers, but it’s great to get some jazz-concepts... my hands already know some of this stuff, but it’s GREAT to get some concepts attached to it. That’s important work you’re doing man!
This is SO interesting and challenging. Thank you for this content and your generosity in sharing your knowledge. Plenty to think about and practise during lock down.
God bless you for this great video. It's wonderful to have professional musicians who share their experiences and skills with love like you do. Stay blessed!
Thank you, Sir. I've been searching for that b5 over 6 sound. You explained the pentatonic patterns impeccably. Great job and I will definitely tell everyone to check you out.
Brilliant cideo! So much informtation and consideration for the viewr. Thank you so much. I'll be sharing this with all of my music students who play keys.
This is fire 🔥 bro! I mean, I had heard the use of the melodic minor scale in jazz songs but I never new how to play it but with this video I’ll Apply it right away into my playing! Thanks Cory! And god bless you! Greetings from 🇬🇹
Mr. Taylor, Thank you so much for your videos. I am a clarinetist and am part of a very small country Church that has a great piano and organ but no one to play it. Can you please make a video that explains some starting points on playing Gospel music on the piano? I have taken it upon myself to be the church pianist. Thank you sir.
Wow. Jaw dropped. Your teaching is so easy to follow. All broken down and not overwhelming. I must ask... Where did you learn all this and which school did you go to learn how to play the piano?
Thank you so much! Well, I went to Clemson University for my undergrad and Georgia State University for my master's degree. But I had some really great teachers - In the jazz world, my teachers were Hazen Bannister (my first jazz piano teacher), Tim Haden (took me under his wing playing tons of gigs), Keith Davis (phenomenal really deep jazz pianist), and Kevin Bales (the teacher I've patterned so much of my teaching and playing after). In gospel music, I've learned so much from guys like Brandon Williams (taught me to play the organ), and Erik Miller (who I've patterned the way I play gospel music after). I also learned quite a bit from guys on UA-cam and studying a TON of theory books. So it's a combination of a lot of places. Hope this helps!
Great tutorial, Corey. I like your explanations, your practice suggestions, and especially show how you can use the scales on songs. I love your style of playing and am determined to learn your style in order to incorporate it into my playing. Good talking to you the other day. Take care, my fellow musician.
Corey, it never occurred to me to think of the melodic-minor scale working over a II-7 (as a parallel scale). The closest I might have come to that would have been using the C# as a chromatic approach to the C natural or the D. But wow, you've opened my mind and ears!
This is so great! for 12:18, I would say the pentatonic a tritone away sounds better when the left hand is playing a dominant with a flat five. In this case, the sound is probably stronger when you're playing a tritone sub in the spot for the dominant. Still play the right pentatonic a tritone from the left hand sub, but it sounds a little sweeter to me.
This is BADASS my dude. Killer tutorial. Your channel is exactly what i need; i have plenty of knowledge but need some more open-ended explanations, covering everything in the topic you can in a way thats efficient, and all the practice you can need!
Merry fascinating! You have expanded my mind with the Diminished scales! I love how exotic they sound when played over minors and major7ths ! I love how you stack fourths in your right hand! I'll love to see a video on when and how to use alt chords and blues licks! Keep up the God work! My cup runneth over with gratitude!
Man I'm in application mode all day thank u for the free knowledge when I get my money saved I will learn to read sheet music and buy all PDF videos n more.
Great Job Very Straight forward and Loaded with informative information to improve playing style...Would Like to see a slower pace regarding the pentatonic scale for the styles of Art tatum , Oscar Peterson ..etc
For any viewers who have done Classical training including Hannon exercises - you can look at the patterns Hannon used, and apply them to each of these jazz scales.
I am pleased and honored to have awesome teachers like you, Oliver Phren, and a very few others, with the talent and good taste to give us so good material...I have spent all day just with two of your classes...AMAZING!!!! p.s could you tell me about your keyboard? it's a hardware piano? I do not get this feeling with any piano plugin...Thanks!
Hello! Sorry for the late reply. The keyboard I'm playing is the Yamaha S90 ES. But I believe I used the Ravenscroft 275 or Keyscape Yamaha C7 vst. Unfortunately, I don't remember which one it was...
Wow. Thanks John! On a side note, Barry Harris is one of the pianist that completely changed the way I play... So I can definitely identify with you. Thank you again!
Your videos are the most informative and easy to understand videos on UA-cam? Do you have any online course as I want to really learn how to play the piano very well
I would you to help us about independence of the two hands. How can we play with the left hand when we are improvising. The different ways to do it. Because, I noticed that is what makes the real essence of the improvisation. I was playing these exercises you give but I couldn’t sound really good like you. Cause of my left hand colors. The rythm the color with the left hand is giving life to your improvisation. I just want some exercise to sound good as well. Thanks again. For this nice video.
This is by far one of the best videos I've seen teaching scales. I was expecting a dry "here's the pentatonic, here's the mixolydian, here's the phrygian" like most other videos, but you exceeded every expectation I had. Absolutely phenomenal!
Thank you so much! Your sentiment that we exceeded your expectations really means a lot to us. Thank you again for watching and if you could help us spread the word (social media / word of mouth) about our channel, we would greatly appreciate it!
I second that, mind blown
Lol. Glad we could help!
Can u do a video on minor 251 progressio
It’s that gospel IQ.
It is RARE to find someone that plays as awesome as you do, that takes the time to explain it as thoroughly as you have! Much less make a video for FREE so that others can learn. Thank you for a tremendous course!
Thank you sir! I truly appreciate your kind words... Especially coming from such a phenomenal musician as yourself.

Can you please make a video that explains some starting points on playing Gospel music on the piano? I have taken it upon myself to be the church pianist.

I am creating a course to explain everything from the very beginning. Please stay tuned!
Oh mine, thank you and God bless you for these lessons. You are the best.
Thank you so much for your kind words!
Wow. Jaw dropped. Your teaching is so easy to follow. All broken down and not overwhelming. I must ask... Where did you learn all this and which school did you go to learn how to play the piano?
Thank you so much! Well, I went to Clemson University for my undergrad and Georgia State University for my master's degree. But I had some really great teachers - In the jazz world, my teachers were Hazen Bannister (my first jazz piano teacher), Tim Haden (took me under his wing playing tons of gigs), Keith Davis (phenomenal really deep jazz pianist), and Kevin Bales (the teacher I've patterned so much of my teaching and playing after).

Great tutorial, Corey. I like your explanations, your practice suggestions, and especially show how you can use the scales on songs. I love your style of playing and am determined to learn your style in order to incorporate it into my playing. Good talking to you the other day. Take care, my fellow musician.
Thanks Jamie! I really appreciate you!
You're an amazing teacher Corry. Please do a video on Ditones and Tritones.
Thank you so much! I'm actually working on a tritone lesson. Hopeful to get that out to you soon!
Corey, it never occurred to me to think of the melodic-minor scale working over a II-7 (as a parallel scale). The closest I might have come to that would have been using the C# as a chromatic approach to the C natural or the D. But wow, you've opened my mind and ears!
Cool deal! I'm so glad this video helped you! Be Blessed and Happy Practicing!
THIS is very cool, great explanations and demos, thankyou.Edgar Varése and Frank Zappa used the pentatonics much.
Thank you so much and Good Call!
This is so great!
for 12:18, I would say the pentatonic a tritone away sounds better when the left hand is playing a dominant with a flat five. In this case, the sound is probably stronger when you're playing a tritone sub in the spot for the dominant. Still play the right pentatonic a tritone from the left hand sub, but it sounds a little sweeter to me.
Cool deal!!! Good point! Often I will leave the five off completely...
life-changing man, TY FOR ALL THE CONTENTS
You are welcome!
thanks for your very good explaining it is a Lot of fun to check all this infos out .... bravo Corey!!

Great Job Very Straight forward and Loaded with informative information to improve playing style...Would Like to see a slower pace regarding the pentatonic scale for the styles of Art tatum , Oscar Peterson ..etc
Thanks Carl! Let me see what I can do about your suggestion.

Thanks Fran!
you are dropping gems sir!
Thanks a lot!
For any viewers who have done Classical training including Hannon exercises - you can look at the patterns Hannon used, and apply them to each of these jazz scales.
Exactly right!
I am blown away. Thank you, sir.
Thank you!

Thanks Adam!
I am pleased and honored to have awesome teachers like you, Oliver Phren, and a very few others, with the talent and good taste to give us so good material...I have spent all day just with two of your classes...AMAZING!!!! p.s could you tell me about your keyboard? it's a hardware piano? I do not get this feeling with any piano plugin...Thanks!
Hello! Sorry for the late reply. The keyboard I'm playing is the Yamaha S90 ES. But I believe I used the Ravenscroft 275 or Keyscape Yamaha C7 vst. Unfortunately, I don't remember which one it was...
Awesome, you just opened my playing to all kind of possibilities! Thanks so much for sharing.
Thank you! So glad that it helped you!

Great lesson Corey had to practice this useful applications Thank you very much.👍
Thank you Jeng!
I would you to help us about independence of the two hands. How can we play with the left hand when we are improvising. The different ways to do it. Because, I noticed that is what makes the real essence of the improvisation. I was playing these exercises you give but I couldn’t sound really good like you. Cause of my left hand colors. The rythm the color with the left hand is giving life to your improvisation. I just want some exercise to sound good as well. Thanks again. For this nice video.
Let me see what I can put together for you!
Skilled Musician I will be so happy
So useful ! Thanks a lot Corey
Glad it was helpful!
