Best tutorial I've ever seen (in several years of searching). Really covered the "fundamentals" but also touched on more advanced concepts. LOVE live cam+ sheet + digital piano + chart. Most others leave one of those out and it's pretty annoying
Great and inspiring lesson ! Start with the basic, nice and slow and work up to the melody. I especially love the way you improvise on the fly, with the melody but also with the voicings. I've learned a lot here. Thank you !
Wow, brilliant stuff Jeremy. Love this tune and your tutorial has given me the impetus to really finish my arrangement and make it into a full solo performance. Thanks!
@@JeremySiskindJeremy, I am still hoping that you may have an on line course. I am wondering if you may consider a Video Exchange option with just references to your books and UA-cam lessons. There could be a biweekly or monthly Video Exchange between students and you on the material that you would outline in your course. Thank you. Michael
Shorter’s compositions are never, ever ‘painting by the numbers’. He picks the oddest combinations of intervals, harmonies and structure. Yet somehow they work.
That was great, thank you, really helpful, even if it's taking me ages to get the independence on the bassline! I'd echo the other comments asking for more of these please, a fun distraction while I work through your book. BTW, what piano are you playing?
Hey Jeremy, this is very helpful! Apologies if you have answered this before, but what is the composition software you are using? I'm assuming it's on a tablet?
Excellent tutorial Jeremy. I’ve loved this hauntingly beautiful song for a long time. One theory question on the turn around chords; could the changes be looked at as 1(Tritone sub), 4, 3, 6 changes? I thought I noticed during your solo you added the 2, 5 chords to the turn around as well. Thanks so much!
Interesting thought, but I don't really see them as tritone subs because of the chord qualities...and the vi still wouldn't lead back to the i chord too well. Sometimes I throw in some different chords...on purpose or on accident 😉
Oof, good luck! I'd first advise thinking about arpeggios before scales. Unfortunately, each of those chords really needs a different scale. Probably F# locrian +2 | F lydian dominant | E altered | A altered....
@@JeremySiskind I often find my patience tested when students or even gigging musicians plainly haven't heard original recordings. Okay, do it your own way but why not at least listen to what you're deviating from. Good lord, you might even learn something...
It's not exactly the same. When ascending, the F is played instead of the G. :) But thank you for the advice about listening closely to the original. There is so much to learn from the masters.
Yes, that is exactly what a tutorial looks like!
Oh! Phew! I'm out of my league here...
Beautiful! I could listen to this magic music for hours….and look forward to play it myself….thank you!
That's so nice! Please do play it yourself - enjoy!
That was beautiful! You've given us a lot to work with. Thank you so much!
Great video Jeremy. Lovely atmosphere. Fundamentals.
Fantastic! Thanks so much for the nice comment!

That's so kind! Thank you so much!

Thanks.
You've given me more clarity on Wayne's convoluted turn around.
I'm glad you have clarity...I'm still trying to figure it out! Enjoy, Bob!
Great teacher always... genius
Thanks much, Mai! Take good care!
Wow, brilliant stuff Jeremy. Love this tune and your tutorial has given me the impetus to really finish my arrangement and make it into a full solo performance. Thanks!
Awesome - I'm really happy to hear that, Michael!
Loves these tutorials - keep them coming!
Noted. Thanks much, Casper!
That’s great that you this up on UA-cam after teaching it to us at the piano camp, really useful, thank you!
Yes indeed! I'm so happy it's useful and I hope the rest of piano camp was wonderful!
Thank you for this tutorial Jeremy.
Sure thing! Thanks for watching!

Great arrangement! Concise and clear too. Nice work.

great pocket Jeremy and playing as usual - thank you - btw why didn't you play those alt chords
I’m trying to keep it simple for the folks at home! 😉
Great tutorial for the head but for your beutiful solo ideas, how do we acquire this kind of melodic vocabulary?
That was great, thank you, really helpful, even if it's taking me ages to get the independence on the bassline! I'd echo the other comments asking for more of these please, a fun distraction while I work through your book.
BTW, what piano are you playing?
I have an older Mason & Hamlin 5'9" piano. It's got a nice warm sound!
Hey Jeremy, this is very helpful! Apologies if you have answered this before, but what is the composition software you are using? I'm assuming it's on a tablet?
Sure - I just write on forScore
i think it was aimee nolte had the change as f#halfdimin b7#9 E13 A7#9... which is close to what ur doing
sounded dope...
(I think that's what it is in newer editions of the real book)

can you master these a little louder? It's very very quiet even turning all the knobs up
Thanks for the comment. I'm always working to make my sound better and you're not the first person to say this. I'll keep working on it! Enjoy!
Great tutorial Jeremy! And I have a question there: what scales should I play in the 17-20 measures(F#-7b5......A7b5)?
Oof, good luck! I'd first advise thinking about arpeggios before scales. Unfortunately, each of those chords really needs a different scale. Probably F# locrian +2 | F lydian dominant | E altered | A altered....
Very grateful for your reply! And hope you can talk more about modal jazz or someother modern things.@@JeremySiskind
In the original, I think the bassline stays the same for the Fm chord. Melody often voiced in fourths as well.
You're probably right! Great work checking out the original recording!

Thanks for watching, Carl!
