the sound i've always been searching for summed up in one clear, concise video. some heroes don't wear capes.... or maybe he does, we can only see his hands.
I don't remember ever touching a piano, and I don't know how the algorithm got me here but I was mesmerized watching this and I think I'm going to try to find a keyboard tomorrow.
A book as a companion to the videos would be great, with sheet music. For example for this video there could be sheet music with maybe 5 examples of what to play with pentatonic hand grip. Patreon members could get a pdf -- a typical "free but pay for extras" model that pretty much everyone uses. Oliver is so nice he doesn't want to charge anyone for things. But he could always do "suggested price, but pay what you like" and many people will pay for sure.
@@rickhood1801 A book would be amazing for sure. Even without the voice the graphics alone are amazing. It would be interesting from a writing standpoint to turn his demo explanations into book format. The Guitar Handbook comes to mind as an endless well of perfectly useful inormation with the right mix of text and graphics.
I don’t think there’s ever been a single video that made feel inclined to like, subscribe, comment, and add to a playlist of mine in just one single video. That changed today, with this beautiful and well constructed video. Thank you so much :)
I'm self taught, and just the pentatonic hand grip alone blew me away. i have been compensating so hard to do something you effortlessly visualized in an extremely approachable way in less time than it takes me to brew a cup of tea. The hallmark of a great teacher. Thank you.
The thing I love about this channel is that it makes it very clear that there's no 'trick,' no 'easy' way to learn music at a high level, but he breaks it down in easy to digest parts so that it seems easy enough that you'd want to practice it - which only makes the person better by practicing. "The best way to learn Music is by playing Music" is exactly right, and this channel showcases that.
I played the piano sins I was 9. I’m 14 now and I had no lessons. I just freestyles and sometimes I played songs but I never really knew how to jazz. This helped me out so much ❤
I can't begin to tell you how much I appreciate this. Actually being able to play something this beautiful takes away so much of the frustration of trying to learn how to play. Thank you for sharing this.
I'm classic piano player (I'm playing piano over 40 years) and I always wanted to learn how to play jazz because I like jazz very much. But never know how to begin and what to do. 😂 Those your videos are fantastic, and whole your chanel. Hope I'll start play jazz finally (with my 51 years) by looking and listening to you! Thank you very much for your time and great advices. ❤️🌹 (sorry for my bad English, it isn't my native language)
Jazz piano is something that I thought to be too difficult to try at the beginner level. I actually played piano for several years previously and last year I found a teacher for the purpose of playing jazz piano one day, and he told me I can start to think about this after another one or more years of foundation. He doesn’t play jazz piano but suggested that he could refer another teacher until I’m ready. But you just showed me how easy it could be learned and executed! I stop taking his lessons later on. So happy that I came across your videos and now I’m confident to say that jazz piano isn’t something I can’t do in the near future. You are doing something very meaningful to music lovers. Thank you so much for the videos and also for not promoting stuff in your channel even when you have every right to do so. Good luck!
I've been fooling around with my keyboard for years, and this is the most inspiring thing I've seen. I could kind of improvise a bit, but it was just always the same chords/patterns. I tried this, and immediately sounded jazzier, richer and more interesting, and when I mixed it with simple chords, and scales, it sounded even better. I could sit for hours and play using this method, all from one sixteen minute lesson. Thank you so much!
This is the best channel I’ve come across in my channel filled life 😅 I’m so so glad to have encounter this wealth of systematic, creative, rigorous, accessible and intuitively organized/delivered content. Thank you. I am just inspired by your mind for teaching.
the position he speaks about is basically, 3, 2, 2, 3.....this is essential info to build good chords every time.....3, 2, 2, 3 is the spaces between your fingers from each other.....so if c is your root note, 3 spaces from that is your next and then 2 from that is the next, then another 2 and then 3 and so on....good video thanks
Been searching for ages to find someone who can actually explain and help me open up so many new ways to play, you have COMPLETELY changed how I play piano, Thank you 🐐
Not only was this one of the best, most clear and calming tutorials ive ever watched, I felt like he is my guardian angel taking care of me the way he spoke. So much care and passion and so relaxed I dont know what to say but thank you for that experience.
Am I the only one who wants a video just watching Oliver playing the piano.... I'm not a musician, but I like music, his methods of playing and teaching just draw me in and keep me watching and enjoying such outstanding videos. Stay safe mate and stay as beautiful as you are ❤
How I wish there was someone that did this with the guitar! Still there’s so much in here to unpack and transpose to the the guitar! Best channel discovery of the week!
The only thing better than these videos are the comments. Always positive comments, people supporting each other in diving deeper into music and positive thinking. You don't just have a UA-cam channel, Oliver, you're slowly changing the world to a better place. I love it ;)
Oliver Prehn ,Mestre dos Mestres nunca vi uma didática como essa direto ao ponto,criativa e sem enrolação,parabéns pelo trabalho nota millllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
This is a wonderful melodic musing I could play for hours, Thanks so much. I don't know what's more pleasing, the piano or Oliver's pleasant speaking style. ;-)
Absolutely incredible. Thank you very much, this is truly amazing. Often "it's so easy" is not, but this is instantly applicable and opens so many other doors in the future.
This video was a shocking opportunity for me, a piano beginner, to let go of the big and heavy burden that I had always been impatiently tying myself up to lead myself to my goal. thank you too much!
Struggling years ago with no reference & proper guidance to know it's called a penatonic today, really is a great help & rediscovery. Thank you Oliver. Wished I met U years ago but it's never too late... So they say.
feel so blessed to have find your channel. I ve been struggling with piano learning for so long. gave up many times. Now ur videos are my soul's salvation. Thank you for the heavenly beauty you share with the world. Too bad i live too far from France to study with you.
Stunningly beautiful sounds! 🙂Bravo 👏I took piano lessons many years ago for harmony and theory purposes. Never got into playing any songs of music. This lessons makes me want to buy a keyboard and try. Greetings from the San Francisco Bay Area! Thanks for sharing!
Excellent! It reminds me of Chopsticks song everybody can learn in 5 minutes and sound like a pro. This method is super coz it further gives room for improvisation. I'm going to clean out the dusty piano now and jazz it. Thank you Sir.
It's a clever one this. Sliding the 4th to the 5th when playing a pentatonic scale in the right hand starting from the 5th degree of that in the left hand and then reverting it back to a route note pentatonic scale and repeating gives you that expanded sophisticated jazz sound. Much enjoyed
thank you so much for another brilliant, well explained and inspirational video. You have a great gift in teaching music and I am so grateful you take the time to share this with us.
It is always a pleasure to follow you, I have learned so much in the past three years... And always in the " FUN ATTITUDE " ! Many, many thanks from the bottom of my soul...🎶🇨🇦🎵
He is like that music teacher who always is chill and plays jazz between his sentences, who everybody loves
His voice is so soothing 😌
Smooth as whipped melted Butter on toasted bread 🧈😋
Smothered with classy and relaxing music. God given gift to us All!!❤
@@un1tr191 ofcourse
the sound i've always been searching for summed up in one clear, concise video. some heroes don't wear capes.... or maybe he does, we can only see his hands.
HAHA - no cape... and thanks a lot :) :) :) Cheers from Oliver
Such a humble person you are Oliver.Godbless you for your kind heart.
@@NewJazz grayskole power...or so...
😂😂😂😂
I spent years studying piano at the conservatory. I never felt the teachers really shared their knowledge. You do, and your videos are simply amazing.
Why have I had piano lessons. 40 years of rock blues guitar….. bands, etc…. I NEVER heard of this…. Awesome.
I don't remember ever touching a piano, and I don't know how the algorithm got me here but I was mesmerized watching this and I think I'm going to try to find a keyboard tomorrow.
Nice man! Hope you were able to find one and practice.
this is not just a lesson it's an inspiration!
OK, dude. Seriously, WRITE A MUSIC BOOK!!!! I would DEFINATELY buy it and I know everyone else would, too!!!!
But perhaps video is a superior medium for instruction? I think so.
@@johncitizen8828 It all depends, some people respond to the mediums differently. It sure is nice not to have a screen sometimes.
@@nebula0697 That's sort of psychological approach that expands a lot the way we understand the process of learning in deeper levels...
A book as a companion to the videos would be great, with sheet music. For example for this video there could be sheet music with maybe 5 examples of what to play with pentatonic hand grip.

feeling blessed to exist in a time that oliver can just make a video of this mad quality and I can just watch it for free in bed

I have never seen any better teacher in the entire web. Thank you for the videos

oh so sad, you can do this stuff right form day 1, i feel music is taught the wrong way, this is way way more fun, no boring scales !!!
I've been fooling around with my keyboard for years, and this is the most inspiring thing I've seen. I could kind of improvise a bit, but it was just always the same chords/patterns. I tried this, and immediately sounded jazzier, richer and more interesting, and when I mixed it with simple chords, and scales, it sounded even better.

This lesson finally woke me up to how simple make a music can be! Like any love … it just takes time and practice.
This is the best channel I’ve come across in my channel filled life 😅 I’m so so glad to have encounter this wealth of systematic, creative, rigorous, accessible and intuitively organized/delivered content. Thank you. I am just inspired by your mind for teaching.
A Great Teacher...very patient...Absolutely a Great Person, I think he has a Good Heart !!!

Best jazz educator out there
Great teaching skill , sounds like Keith Jarrett.
Not only was this one of the best, most clear and calming tutorials ive ever watched, I felt like he is my guardian angel taking care of me the way he spoke. So much care and passion and so relaxed I dont know what to say but thank you for that experience.
This reminds me of Bob Ross , you have the same calmness as. Soothing . Thanks
SOUL just pops in my head

Lmk if you find something

Dope finding you here!
Just amazing... was playing whole night after watching this. Didn't think you could teach so much in 16 min, thank you.
My best Jazz tutor Oliver! Am glad I found you.....you make the complex look simple.

I learned so much from this, and all these years, it is so, simple...
I clicked on this video by accident but ended up watching it all the way through. This was an excellent lesson
This video helps in so much ways if you need to liberate yourself from some limitations. Thank you so much!
What else can be said? God bless you, Oliver!
you play so soft & clear
The only thing better than these videos are the comments.
Always positive comments, people supporting each other in diving deeper into music and positive thinking.

Bloody friggin brilliant! So simplistically explained and well demonstrated..thanks Oliver!
I can't believe how good this is...
Impressive!!! It seems that the hands are speaking to us. How you made something complex simple. Beautiful. Thank you.
Best piano\music lessons i've ever seen. Thank you, master!
Amazing video! Giving the viewer the full knowledge from Basic to Basic, to understand what every step is for to reach the last level!
i wanted to say this for so long. you know, your piano sounds so beautiful oliver.. evenmore with your super delicate finger plays.
This is a wonderful melodic musing I could play for hours, Thanks so much.
I don't know what's more pleasing, the piano or Oliver's pleasant speaking style. ;-)
Absolutely incredible. Thank you very much, this is truly amazing. Often "it's so easy" is not, but this is instantly applicable and opens so many other doors in the future.
Bro this is amazing how you broke it down like that!
This video was a shocking opportunity for me, a piano beginner, to let go of the big and heavy burden that I had always been impatiently tying myself up to lead myself to my goal. thank you too much!
This is brilliant. You teach it like a piano wizard!
I never thought pentatonic scales could sound so jazzy. Thanks a lot. Saludos from México
The way you teach is so simple and rich that it makes me to come back ...
I always come back to. This lovely exercise 👍🏾🙏🏿✌🏿💯

Out of curiosity. Don't kill this cat. Does Oliver really have the time to write back to comments here or an assistant comes in handy? 😁
This just changed my life, thank you, learning this was a blast
feel so blessed to have find your channel. I ve been struggling with piano learning for so long. gave up many times. Now ur videos are my soul's salvation. Thank you for the heavenly beauty you share with the world. Too bad i live too far from France to study with you.
I’m having so much fun. Thank you!
Thank You Oliver, simple & thrilling
most inspired iv ever been to play music love how your able to teach so simply and well. you really show how creative you can be on piano
There are some wonderful and thrilling people in this world and you are one of them.
Your voice, skills, lessons- all of them are great!
Stunningly beautiful sounds! 🙂Bravo 👏I took piano lessons many years ago for harmony and theory purposes. Never got into playing any songs of music. This lessons makes me want to buy a keyboard and try. Greetings from the San Francisco Bay Area! Thanks for sharing!
Very nice. To me it sounds like some of the harmonies in Herbie Hancock’s “dolphin dance” and “little one” - inspiring. Thanks
best Piano lesson video ever. I put a lot of inspiration from that, thank you Oliver!
your voice is so soothing lol. I feel like I'm watching Bob Ross for jazz music
Such a great teacher
You’re the best Oliver
Excellent! It reminds me of Chopsticks song everybody can learn in 5 minutes and sound like a pro. This method is super coz it further gives room for improvisation. I'm going to clean out the dusty piano now and jazz it. Thank you Sir.
The musical bus worm drives called Oliver
Thanks again
Keep healthy and sound
Good job
I’m going to nominate you for the Nobel prize! 🤩
Thank YOU Oliver!
Who else lost it when he added the 4th finger? Omg so spectacular!
What an excellent video
I would love deeper tutorials on chord progressions from you. Building chord progressions and different interesting variations.
Hi :) Good idea. But I have so many requests - but I'll have it in mind for sure :) Best regards from Oliver
Thank you so much for this. It's never been this simplified
Wow! This is amazing. Thank you so much. You're such an amazing teacher. I have a feeling I'm going to be spending every free moment practicing this.
Thank you for your videos. I’ve only studied two of them so far and they have opened my mind up to all kinds of new possibilities.
this blew my mind! especially the slide part! seems like i can do ordinary songs sounds jazzy now! thanks a lot!
A truly extraordinary teacher...
