Key points (for reference):
- try sticking to 3 5 7 9 of each chord when playing within the arpeggios
- this means the right hand will play the major, half diminished, and minor 7th chords (in order) a diatonic third above each root of the ii, the V, and the I (F major 7 above D = Dm9, etc.)
- adding chromatic lower neighbors before notes in the arpeggio give us other note options
- to start, try and pick just 2 chromatic lower neighbors (ex. 3rd + 9th)
- don’t forget you can play the tritone sub over the original V root (Db7 over the G bass)
(this creates better voice leading and removes jumps in range)
Thanks for the summary, Silver the Flame!
This is a brilliant lesson. Thank you!!!
Keep waiting for entire series video....thanks
I think that's it for this "series." Thanks for watching!
Great lesson and great complement to your already perfect Jazz fundamentals book 1 unit 3, my favorite ❤️
Wow, you have a favorite unit! I wrote it and I don't have a favorite unit. 😂
First ever UA-cam comment! Just to say thanks so much for these videos. Have learnt a huge amount. Really well put together at just the right level. Am improving fast as a result. Even bought the book too!
Wow! I got your first ever comment. I’m honored and thank you. Enjoy the practice!
Terrific lesson. Making my way through JPF book 1 right now ad enjoying it!
Yay! I’m so happy to hear you’re enjoying the book!
Great video! Thank you!
My pleasure, Greg! Thanks for watching!
8:18 "It looks like I made a happy face here..."
So impressive that you do these videos in one take, and this also allows for amusing little thoughts! (PS Great info too.)
Haha, Impressive...or...unprofessional...😝
@@JeremySiskind Don't change!!
":)"
Another Great lesson and as much as I respect your abilities, I have to make a correction there around the '7:40' mark-- I can always find a way to make it sound bad!
Haha, i don’t believe it for a second!
Just asked to get your book as present for Christmas because of those two cool videos. Thank you! Just a note, that phone number from the call is in the video. Not sure if that was supposed to stay private ;)
Nice! I hope Santa brought you what you wanted. Thanks for the note about the phone number, I forgot about that. 😂
I have your books but haven’t been through them in depth. These videos seem like great teasers or introductions to the books. Could you do a 2-5-1 lesson later which blends or combines blues and bebop ideas? I think of as a highly desirable concept. Thank you, Jeremy!
Hmm, interesting, let me consider!
@@JeremySiskind Just for context I think it was Ethan Iverson’s blog and he or a guest contributor talked about Bird and others around him had a great grasp of the blues and that made their bebop work especially powerful. I’m not a good enough of a player or jazz theorist to get exactly what they were driving at. They referenced “out of nowhere” for one on “complete live at birdland” w Bird and Fats I think. I’m not sure I hear it. Anyway. It intrigued me. Thanks.
@@chrisjazzhands5373 Ah, that makes sense! That's definitely one thing that's often talked about with Bird. Good context - thanks!
Only problem in this superb lesson is THE EMPTY BOOKSHELVES! Strange how distracting. they are! Even hard to concentrate on what you say - is he painting, moving, worried about the titles that show??? Hysterically funny that empty bookshelves are distracting! GREAT TEACHING! THANK YOU!
I'm glad you figured this one out! 😉 Thanks for watching!
Jeremy it looks like the Grinch visited your house! I hope the Roast Beast was preserved.
Oh no! I've been grinches! 😂 I didn't know he liked post-modern novels so much!
I have Playing Solo Jazz Piano and Jazz Piano Fundamentals. I will be also attending the Fullerton College course in January and I am wondering which book (books) is recommended for someone who will always only play piano solo (without any backing track or rhythm support). In other words, I come from classical music and I am only interested in learning jazz as piano solo pursuit (recent Keith Jarrett’s albums are the unachievable goal for me).
Looking forward to having you in class, Michael!
Hello Jeremy.
I read many comments in yours and other jazz related videos. What strikes me is a certain elitism and almost the sense of superiority of those who believe in learning jazz “by ear”. One has to remember that some people need structure in their learning! If the lack of spontaneity precludes playing jazz, it means that there is no hope for someone like me and my attempts to learn will end up in failure (at least in the eye of “real” jazz musicians). My question is if I will ever learn to play anything resembling jazz if I do not change my attitude regarding learning methods
Ps. You sometimes use the analogy of learning a foreign language in your jazz videos. When learning my first foreign language (in reality it was the second foreign language for me), I first studied grammar (I know it better than most native speakers of it) and then, a few years later, began speaking. I am now completely fluent and I think mostly in it. My son first read instructions on a computer before really speaking the language. This is how we learn.
Hi Michael, I'm a believer that there's no "one path" somewhere. We all learn differently and come in with different skillsets. Some have very strong theory knowledge, others have very strong technique, etc. We will all enter at least initially with our own frame in the lead. With that said, the aural component definitely has to be involved for mastery. It might not be what everyone "leads with," but it will need to be very active in order to become a master musician. I hope that helps a bit!
@@JeremySiskind Thank you Jeremy. I very much appreciate your comments and clarification. It is very helpful and I am looking forward to learning from your course!
Will your shelves have things on them again soon? 😆
It’ll be a whole different backdrop soon enough! Any requests?
@@JeremySiskind Will we never now get the book recommendation video??
