I don't speak your language so I can't tell if it's a natural part of the language, your own personality, or a quirk of Google Translate, but I love calling a fret a _"piece of iron"_ & I've always described my version of piano playing as _"just pushing buttons with some parry tricks"_ (which is enough for me to have a job doing it haha!)

    Likely the best metal keyboardist of all time, and he's teaching us the C major scale. What a legend, I bet he came up with the progressions for the accompaniments on the spot.

    • @nanthilrodriguez
      @nanthilrodriguez 3 місяці тому

      what a stupid categorization. One of the best keyboardists of all time is merely just one of the best "metal keyboardists" of all time when there really aren't that many metal keyboardists?

    • @Ouvii
      @Ouvii 3 місяці тому +4

      @@nanthilrodriguez stupid? Idk, I think I carefully chose my words-there are amazing metal keyboardists that I think Rudess is better than like Yuhki and Joey Izzo (tough to say that, because those guys are incredible in their own right). There are also other keyboardists that dabble in metal like Martis "Zen" Cornelis that honestly I like more in terms of just general musicianship than Rudess.
      (I'm actually terrible with names so I have to look all these up, I have trouble remembering Mike Portnoy's first name sometimes and I really like DT. The point in these parentheses is that, when it comes to something like the classical and jazz traditions of music, there are a lot of names of people I can remember that I have no chance of telling you their names.)
      Moving on from metal though-let's note that I barely engage in any part of the classical or jazz music community-we start to compare Jordan Rudess to people like Frederic Chiu and pianists that we don't have direct recordings of going back centuries, and you expect me to drop "metal" and just say he is one of the best keyboardists of all time? He has a lot of competition there and I'm not sure I'd be able to make a very strong argument for him seeing as how a lot of the stuff he plays for LTE and DT doesn't show off the soloistic achievement that other keyboardists do. And that's ok. Metal is a very ensemble focused thing and the jazz and classical traditions feature solo work a lot more.
      I mean I like Jordan Rudess and I think he's probably the GOAT of metal keyboard playing, but I imagine jazz-heads alone would probably be able to rip me apart if I removed the word "metal" from that statement.

    • @KleberFainer
      @KleberFainer 3 місяці тому +3

      For me, as a keyboardist myself, is really hard to point out the best keyboardist when you have such keyboardist as Kevin Codfert, Mustis and Janne Wirman. Also because there's a lot of amazing Metal band's that are very underground, but there's a lot of amazing Metal keyboardists, contradicting what the other person which responded your comment, how many Metal keyboardist is out there? A lot really...
      Ohh and another amazing keyboardist/piano player that in fact is internationally renowned as one of the greatest Metal singers, Andre Matos, and he was an amazingly talented and skilled keyboardist/piano player as well, he was classical trained, he was a maestro/conductor and opera singer as well.

    As mundane as this exercise seems, it's amazing how helpful it is to go through this whole lesson. I'm now following the same method for other keys (a bit more difficult since at least for some I have to alternate between 1-2-3 and 1-2-3-4), and I'm finding that this technique of working up one note at a time and really nailing the last one is really helping me to play scales faster and more evenly, which translates quite well into some of the pieces I'm working on.

    I am a 69 year old jazz pianist who all through my life hated the harder fingering I was taught. My whole improvisational approach has been how to comfortably improvise where my five fingers happen to be. My elbow and arm are constantly shifting back and forth to get my hands into position just like you demonstrate with playing a simple scale. I rarely do the thumb cross under thing anymore. Thanks for showing everyone this method.

    I'm going to need a little work on this but wow, is Jordan a great teacher! I never learned how to do runs, correctly, so my brain needs a little while to correct itself. I did immediately understand "the burst", not moving the elbow and moving the arm, instead of twisting the wrist - that's all understandable and very effective. My bad fingering habits are my own cross to bare lol.

    So many teachers teach scales to be done slow and precisely to begin with. And this is a valid starting point. The assumption here is perhaps that where you are, is slow and precise, but you need to speed up and this gives people the confidence and method to go fast. Love this, thanks ❤

    I've always wanted to play the piano since I was a kid. I've never done the under thumb thing fast; however, today, with this 10 min lesson, somehow, I'm flying across the keyboard. Practicing FAST to go FAST was the answer?! arg! So, basically, I gotta nail this scale and then move then keep practicing other scales in the same way; I'm guessing. cool! Can we have similar lessons on chords etc? I always find it fascinating how people just find the right keys in a chord in a split second.

    This exersice can get a beginner to a "fake jazz" in a week or two with the Bass parts added.
    Throw in 11 1V 1s Blues Bass Walkups walkdowns etc and you can just play songs.

    @Barrelhousekjell 4 місяці тому +1

    Looks like a great approach I've never tried. I'm gonna try it! Another good approach which could complement this is to practice slowly while focusing on getting your imbalance sorted. Make sure your hand is relaxed and then increase speed gradually. Use the metronome as support. Usually, speed and evenly good technique comes mostly from relaxed and effortless playing more than only getting your fingers stronger and faster. Finger strength is still important, but will come anyway by time and practice. I would always recommend an acoustic piano action for real pianists as the digital ones are usually way to light with bad sensitivity. There are some exceptions like the top Kawai digital models though which is much better than anything else I tried of digital options. Happy practicing 🙂🎹🎶
