Tony the more I watch your videos the happier a feel to having found your channel. It is amazing the way you get your meaning across. What was almost imposible for me to understand, now it is easier and more enjoyable. I could say that I have seen many other good channels, but yours stands out in that you explain in the go with demostrations and a rational pace to make it more digestiable . That`s why now your channel is the number one to come everyday and my favorite one. Thank you again for your great generosity to share. You are the best!
Tony I just wanted to say thank you so much for posting these tutorials - out of all the instructors I’ve seen on UA-cam your instructions on standards have been the predominant ones to have opened jazz piano up for me. Thank you so much.
Tony. For a long time I follow you, on the "shadow". In my opinion you are the great teacher of the musicians, that wasn't enough money in the pocket. Because of the work of you on all tutorials, I only can say, long life for you, for the blessing you give for us. Thank you.
Request! I love this tune! This lesson is fantastic for me because of the opportunity for a varied range of extensions! I worked through Autumn Leaves, the use of the Bb and G Blues for a solo then managed to advance to the solo lesson using the diminished, altered and pentatonic scale options. Pretty pleased with myself to be honest, sort of getting there. So Master I was wondering if you could do a lesson on scale choices and constructing a solo over My Foolish Heart. As I said I love this tune so I figure it’s extra motivation to learn more about scale choices for soloing. When you have time is fine, whenever. You really are a terrific teacher and I’m getting so much out of this. So thanks yet again! Z
Great video for me. I'm a jazz guitarist but learning piano, and the exposition of open voicings really fills in a big hole for me. Plus, this song is one of my faves! Thanks!
Thanks, Tony! This is the kind of thing I keep coming back for. I could watch videos in slow motion and copy the exact voicings, but I think that's tedious and not particularly helpful. Your explanations are very helpful for understanding 'how your mind works', as you say, and it's definitely starting to rub off.
@@danbalocca6540 Thanks. That's not what I was getting at. My point is that even though I could slow it down and copy the voicings one by one, I find I'm learning much more by listening to the explanations, and then working on finding my own voicings. Many other tutorials just show how to play a song, but Tony's explanations help me understand his choices and replicate them myself.
Thanks Tony for playing this amazingly harmonic tune. I do it as a soft Samba. Since Samba is in 2/4, I play singing the lyrics in 1, which is like playin a swing tune in two, and Samba-ing for solos. As a guitar player I have put this in the key of A, which makes it a more friendly guitar key. Jamie Findley has a chord melody for this tune with some nice voicings in the original key on guitar. One thing I like to say about the tune "These Foolish Things" that you've said you're not crazy about, is the version I learned from Ella which I believe had Tommy Flanagan on piano. Really sweet chord changes. I again put it in a guitar friendly key-E, play it as a 12/8 and it's still one of my faves. Thank you for sharing your fantastic playing, singing, and knowledge of the American Songbook!
4:47 what would it sound like with the Am7b5 having a B natural in the chord. So ... A C Eb G B D I wonder the best way to notate that chord as well? It's a polychord two triads G major over Am b5. Cm9(maj7)/A? Am11 b5?
I wonder how it would sound with an F pedal during the reprise of the head and how many chords you could play with this pedal before it sounds "wrong". Four? Eight?
Hello Tony. How can you not like a song with lyrics like these: (They don't write them like this anymore.) "These Foolish Things (Remind Me Of You)" Oh! Will you never let me be? Oh! Will you never set me free? The ties that bound us Are still around us There's no escape that I can see And still those little things remain That bring me happiness or pain A cigarette that bears a lipstick's traces An airline ticket to romantic places And still my heart has wings These foolish things remind me of you A tinkling piano in the next apartment Those stumbling words that told you what my heart meant A fair ground's painted swings These foolish things remind me of you You came you saw you conquer'd me When you did that to me I knew somehow this had to be The winds of March that make my heart a dancer A telephone that rings but who's to answer? Oh, how the ghost of you clings! These foolish things remind me of you First daffodils and long excited cables And candle lights on little corner tables And still my heart has wings These foolish things remind me of you The park at evening when the bell has sounded The "Ile de France" with all the gulls around it The beauty that is Spring's These foolish things remind me of you How strange how sweet to find you still These things are dear to me They seem to bring you near to me The sigh of midnight trains in empty stations Silk stockings thrown aside dance invitations Oh, how the ghost of you clings! These foolish things remind me of you Gardenia perfume ling'ring on a pillow Wild strawb'ries only seven francs a kilo And still my heart has wings These foolish things remind me of you The smile of Garbo and the scent of roses The waiters whistling as the last bar closes The song that Crosby sings These foolish things remind me of you How strange how sweet to find you still These things are dear to me They seem to bring you near to me The scent of smould'ring leaves, the wail of steamers Two lovers on the street who walk like dreamers Oh, how the ghost of you clings! These foolish things remind me of you

Good to hear, THANKS!

Thanks Tony. The advice about working a voicing you love through the cycles alone is worth the investment in my Pantheon subscription.

Music is a gift of the soul, deep gratitude to you sir.
I love Bill Evans' version of this song. Thanks for the tutorial, Tony.

This was beautiful Tony the way you played the chords as it was written… really smooth sounding
Thanks Tony! Great lesson!
Thank you Tony
Grandissimo, seguo tutti i tuoi video, sei un grandissimo musicista !!!
Beautiful sounds.

I came here to post basically the same ;-)
You can slow down the video. Under settings (gear icon).

@@PhilDubach Oops, misread. And I agree with you.

Thanks a lot Tony for great tips!
Grande maestria.
I would like a guitar teacher as you , like you explain with depth and detail
Thanks for this,much appreciated!
This song is so pretty always loved the melody and the harmony
Thanks Tony. I love this tune.
Wonderful..
beautiful! I know this song well, but this gave me some good new ideas
Muy bien !! Sus clases
4:47 what would it sound like with the Am7b5 having a B natural in the chord. So ...
A C Eb G B D
I wonder the best way to notate that chord as well? It's a polychord two triads G major over Am b5.
Cm9(maj7)/A?
Am11 b5?
amazing
Really awesome, thank you!
I wonder how it would sound with an F pedal during the reprise of the head and how many chords you could play with this pedal before it sounds "wrong". Four? Eight?
Professor Greg Woll: Why would you count off with one tempo then play a different tempo?
Would like to see you do this to a Beatles tune.
Do you mean he couldn’t do it? Or it can’t be done at all. Have you heard the BuddyRich band’s version of Norwegian Wood?
@@jeanettesteed3326 He does such a good job that I'd like to hear what he could apply with chords to spice up Beatles music.
i want the fills Where have u written or taught the fills please
Que buen tema !!!
Hello Tony. How can you not like a song with lyrics like these:
(They don't write them like this anymore.)
"These Foolish Things (Remind Me Of You)"
Oh! Will you never let me be?
Oh! Will you never set me free?
The ties that bound us
Are still around us
There's no escape that I can see
And still those little things remain
That bring me happiness or pain
A cigarette that bears a lipstick's traces
An airline ticket to romantic places
And still my heart has wings
These foolish things remind me of you
A tinkling piano in the next apartment
Those stumbling words that told you what my heart meant
A fair ground's painted swings
These foolish things remind me of you
You came you saw you conquer'd me
When you did that to me
I knew somehow this had to be
The winds of March that make my heart a dancer
A telephone that rings but who's to answer?
Oh, how the ghost of you clings!
These foolish things remind me of you
First daffodils and long excited cables
And candle lights on little corner tables
And still my heart has wings
These foolish things remind me of you
The park at evening when the bell has sounded
The "Ile de France" with all the gulls around it
The beauty that is Spring's
These foolish things remind me of you
How strange how sweet to find you still
These things are dear to me
They seem to bring you near to me
The sigh of midnight trains in empty stations
Silk stockings thrown aside dance invitations
Oh, how the ghost of you clings!
These foolish things remind me of you
Gardenia perfume ling'ring on a pillow
Wild strawb'ries only seven francs a kilo
And still my heart has wings
These foolish things remind me of you
The smile of Garbo and the scent of roses
The waiters whistling as the last bar closes
The song that Crosby sings
These foolish things remind me of you
How strange how sweet to find you still
These things are dear to me
They seem to bring you near to me
The scent of smould'ring leaves, the wail of steamers
Two lovers on the street who walk like dreamers
Oh, how the ghost of you clings!
These foolish things remind me of you
Buenisimo !!!!
I like this but also love THESE FOOLISH THINGS. Surprised to hear you don't like it. Why?
Oh well....
Mui belo !!
I hope this isn’t a dumb question: what do you mean “…there’s a formula for that”?
There are links in the description to the chord formulas
@@TonyWinston thanks, I’ll look for them ✌️
To learn open chord voicings get Alan Swains Keyboard System Book I and II.
