    It's remarkable how you progressed from basic arpeggios to professional-level jazz improv in just half an hour. The visually captivating graphics help maintain focus during the lessons. As a longtime Patreon subscriber of your site, I've witnessed your remarkable progress. After watching this latest lesson, I'm inspired to coin a new term for New Jazz: "The Oliver Prehnciples ( principles) of Jazz Improv."

    Fantastic! You clearly explain, demonstrate methods to explore the various ways comping harmonically with the melody. You make it seems simple and effortless! Million thanks !

    Your best piece of advice was to not try the ninths until one is proficient in sevenths even in your sleep. I'm learning my triads for now. When I started out I tried to follow your channel (which is fantastic) and other jazz chords, I was lost. So now I'm taking music lessons and have even started over with my Level One method books, and really working on the basics. And I'll be back to your channel when I'm ready.

    I have to dispute your title - there are easily dozens of tips in this video.
    This might finally be the lesson I needed to break my "improv barrier". It starts out so easy that you feel immediate progress upon jumping into it. But it continues with so much depth that it will occupy me for many hours of practice. Fantastic!

    Wonderful instruction! While it was nearly 30 minutes of 2-5-1, you managed to keep it engaging; making me wonder what the next tip could be.

    The slide tip is so amazingly helpful. I didn't know what the blue notes in each chord were until you said just slide to a key that's in the arp. That's genius man, ty so much.

    Love the videos, good to know that I use all of these beginner level improv tips. The Dm7b5, G7b9, Cm9 Maj7 (although I use Maj6 with an A natural) I find to sound really well with fall time jazz solos. I normally do an Ab key with Fm7 Bb Eb Ab Db and then those three chords. The B natural adds some mystery to the song which sounds so good! Along with the 5 strategies you use, I also do a blues scale arpeggio (instead of just the blues slides), enclosures, and even tried to use different scales such as Dorian and Mixolydian which I found to sound good in moderation. Video idea may be to break down a jazz artist’s solo and explain why they do what they do. For example, I’ve found it helpful to find ideas in solos that Vince Guaraldi, my favorite jazz pianist, has done and use those ideas to improve my own improv skills.

    This sounds like a little boy sitting on the kitchen counter as his mom's cooking and he eats the spoon.
    It sounds like a young man experiencing the joys of a blossoming relationship with the girl he adores.
    This music has such an intimate aroma.
