Same here. I see jazz as far more difficult, yet at the same time far more forgiving than classical. Play one wrong note with jazz and nobody notices, play one wrong note with Bach and the orchestra stops.
what ive learned with jazz is that u really have to let go of the classical knowledge and kinda do ur own thing, or purposefully break the existing rules! as long as you're playing on beat and have good rhythm, u got this!
Play the third and seventh of the chords for comping. And for lines find your starting point, play a bunch of notes very freely and choose a good landing point.
I'm starting to get some success by concentrating on chords, their derivations, then with their rhythms that makes jazz so great, is helping me. when I played Tchaikovsky piano concerto #1 in b-flat minor for two hands (duet), there were some runs that I rely one now for my progress. Even though I studied Conducting at University, which required transposing upon command, I've found myself weak in theory. So it's theory, theory, theory for me.
You are a class act - I am classically trained and trying to find my feet in jazz. I hear your technical competence very clearly - but few can communicate with the clarity and effortless ease which tells me - your foundations are rock solid and I am in good hands. Many thanks!
You just made me smile so much about how lucky I am to live in a time period I can find such high quality and accessible tutorials for free you are amazing
Wow, i really struggle understanding jazz tbh. BUT, this video is actually insane. Ill be sure to watch more of your videos, youre very good at explaining!
This video is fantastic! I've finally found what I've been looking for! Thank you so much for explaining why you made the decisions as you were making them. Videos like this will often add in so much flare from what they're explaining that it misses the mark. YOU illustrated VERY clearly why not using the basic form of chords will just not get you there with these concepts. Honestly just a superb video. You gave me that last piece I was missing. THANK YOU SO MUCH
The #4 m b5 with the natural 9th (with the G major triad in the am example) is the 6 chord of Cm melodic minor (aka “jazz minor”), which has many beautiful chords, particularly because of the 9th note, a gorgeous note to have in a half diminished chord which isn’t available in ordinary major harmony. I’m familiar with the formula of minor 2/5, where the 2 chord has a flat five, and the 5 chord is an alt chord, so have always used a D7 alt here, and never thought of a D7 b9 13 chord. I’ll have to try that out! Thanks for a video with so much content nicely explained!
Great lesson from a excellent teacher ! This is the exact place that I am stuck at with my music education. Thank you for teaching me this, I am now 1 level higher .
I think of this as changing keys briefly. Gm7b5 to C7 to Fm7, for example. That shifts into the key of F minor, and plays a minor 2-5-1 (where the 1 is F minor). Or you can say that you're playing the 2-5 of the 2. "The 2" being the 2 chord of the Eb major scale, or again, F minor. Same thing with Am75b to D7 to Gm7. The key shifts to G minor briefly. Or you can say you're playing a 2-5 into the 3 (the 3 of Eb major being G minor). Something I drill on is to play a I chord, then the 2-5 into the 2, then the 2-5 into the 3. I then follow with a biii diim7, which makes an easy transition to the 2-5 back into the I. So: Cmaj7 Emin7b5 Dmin7 F#min7b5 Emin7 Ebdim7 Dmin7 G7 Cmaj7. It sounds cool, but the reason I drill it is to internalize these "2-5 of" movements and make them a habit (in all keys) I don't have to think about. I'm not really at the stage yet where I add all of the embellishments Hayden demonstrates, but that will come.
Nice and simply explained. With Misty I like to open with a (d dim) - a feeling of not quite there but soon will be. Of course aug's and dims have their own values but that's another lesson. JC
I've been interested jazz this year, yet your video makes sense to me. But some people may struggle with your video, because explanation step by step are to fast.
If possible, I'd like to humbly request you boost the bass volume of the piano audio. Maybe just me, but I find it really hard to hear the root, which throws off the context.
3:51 when building the 2-5-1 into the Gm7 why would it be an Aminor and not Ab? since Ab is what is in the scale we’re playing. This is a basic question. But think this explanation would be helpful
Good question! A 251 in G minor would be A-7b5 to D7 to G-7. In context of the key of Eb Major, we can view the A-7b5 as the 4th degree of the Eb Lydian Mode. The Lydian mode is the major scale but with a sharpened 4th degree, which gives us the A-natural root note instead of Ab for the 4th degree of the scale. Hope that helps and check out our channel for more theory lessons.
I wish you would do an analysis of Christmas Time is Here by Vince Gauraldi. There are some very strange chords in there and it would be nice to know what is going on.
Hi there! When you introduce the 6 at 2:55, you use an E note instead of an Eb. Why is this? The E SOUNDS better than the Eb in context, but I'm just wondering why you bumped up the Eb that was in the original Eb Major Diatonic chords. Thank you!
Good question! The 6 chord is diatonically a minor chord, but it’s more common to play this chord as a dominant chord which creates a stronger pull towards the ii-7 chord. We have a lot of freedom to change minor chords into dominant chords, and most often both options are valid.

Been playing classical music for 11 years now, yet I struggle massively to understand and play jazz. It breaks my heart because I love it so much.
Same here. I see jazz as far more difficult, yet at the same time far more forgiving than classical. Play one wrong note with jazz and nobody notices, play one wrong note with Bach and the orchestra stops.
You can play Jazz too!
I also have a classical music background and if it wasnt for this background, Jazz would have been a lot harder to learn.
what ive learned with jazz is that u really have to let go of the classical knowledge and kinda do ur own thing, or purposefully break the existing rules! as long as you're playing on beat and have good rhythm, u got this!

My goodness. That is just beautiful voice leading!!✍️✍️✍️
You just made me smile so much about how lucky I am to live in a time period I can find such high quality and accessible tutorials for free you are amazing
Everyone that has played piano for a while loves Cm and Eb. It just falls under the fingers perfectly and is great for scale runs.
Finally!! Someone talks about the half diminished 11. SUCH a beautiful chord
Really beautiful and perfectly explained, can't wait to listen to more from you!
Great the way you break down a complect subject and make it simple to understand...
Absolutely brilliant and crystal clear, a massive thank you. Incredibly appeared the right day and time for me, on top.
Your videos are always interesting !!! merci beaucoup :)
Glad you like them!
Very good teaching. Very helpful. I've been watching a few of your videos. I'll be watching many more. Thank you.
Vous êtes toujours très bon.
Merci pour le PDF !
You are the best teacher I have seen on UA-cam
How relaxing it is to learn something new in Eb! ahha. Thanks for the video! it helped me a lot.

This is an amazing video, super well explained, thanks for this!
Love it as allways .
Brilliantly done, thank you.
First thing I'm gonna do in the morning is to try this. Cheers!

Thank you sir. Orz !
Such a great tutorial! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing.
Totally outstanding and awesome....
Thank you so much sir ❤️🎉
Cool, i can use this for enriching my guitar chords❤❤❤❤
Huge thank you.
marvelous!
Very useful. Thank you Sir!
Thank you ❤
Beautiful progression! How do you know whether the chords should be major or minor in the progression?
Thanks for this
Good stuff ! !
beautiful voicings
What software your are using?
Please tell what keyboard software do you use to display lighting keys

Noted…. Working on it!
@@PianoGroove could you please tell what keyboard software do you use to display lighting keys
Hi teacher! How could I do to buy the jazz book completely please?
Wonderful course, very well presented. Thank you!
BTW can we say “suspended” instead of “sauce”? 😅

Thanks. Seems easy enough. I will report back in ten years.
Pls make a version for 2 5 1 for D G C or G C F...they have the easiest scales
Even in lydian, Amin has a b5 because of Eb. This creates a minor ii V in iii which tonicizes the iii VI ii V progression.

Enjoy! PianoGroove
So it is basically a 2-5-1 in G (with a borrowed Gmin as root), followed by a 2-5-1 in Bb, and a 5-1 from Bb to Eb? But beautiful voice leading 🔥👍
Isnt this Like the Cord Progression fly me to the moon uses?
13:48
am i missing something? this is just the circle of fifths (backwards) with an interesting chromatic walk down in the voicings
Jazz, (music in general) generally moves in fourths or fifths. Jazz uses the circle of fourths, which can be used to create 2-5-1s which is the most common Jazz chord progression.
greaaaaat
I wish Chopin could come back as a Jazz pianist He was a harmonic and voice leading monster
I don't want access to everything.Not interested in monthly fees I just want to buy a course. Is this possible? Are you going to make a sale with me?
❤
A bit fast for me to catch all the info
🙇♂️👏👏👌…
How to make anything sound like jazz? Just make every chord a 7-chord.
The first part is just a line cliché
fantastic lesson! thankyou
Lovely and well explained Thank You!
