This Jazz Piano Tutorial is on Gospel-Jazz Style Piano.
Gospel has had an influence on Jazz. Many Jazz pianists started off playing Gospel piano at church before transitioning to Jazz (for example, John Hicks). And naturally they brought many Gospel piano techniques to their Jazz playing. So in this lesson we will discuss a few of these techniques and apply them to rehamonize the song Amazing Grace.

Amazing that this video is 3years old by the time I saw it!!!! It's indeed a great lesson.
Loved these ideas.
I would've liked to see you play it through again at the end though so we could have watched it again with the sheet music knowing what's going on.
This detailed explanation is so amazing that I learnt a lot.
Tqs a ton
I love you so much bro!! I even want to cry. You guys have taught me a lot. God bless you so much
My pleasure, mate. Glad it's helping :)
@@WalkThatBass That really applies to me, too. I don't have to restrain myself from learning anymore just because I ain't got no money, and only youtube channels like yours got it rightly put together, mainly because these breaks down what is in fact the most serious content, hence, the most expensive one, and you just put it for free. Man, I am already crying. I want to thank you on behalf of every wannabe jazz piano player among the 7 billion people on Earth. I hope you get to monetize your videos righteously, and that you get lots of donations.
I'm getting better and better now. Thank you so much 😍😍😍
Hey I remember that a time ago I requested to do some gospel-jazz. I'm really delighted to see this lesson Thank you Brother!
My pleasure. Apologies for the delay :)
I like that you play the all piece in gospel
Thanks You very Mach, brother for your time
As always, crystal clear and densely packed. awesome.
"Uppah neibah", I am from Italy and I am fascinated by your accent. Thank you for the lesson, I am a guitar player but it is still useful.
Your videos are incredibly insightful! I've been a classical pianist all my life but really want to start exploring Jazz and your videos have been helping a lot. Keep up the good work :)
Fantastic video, very helpful. Thank you a lot!
Thanks!!! I've used this technique before unconsciously, but never really understood what I was doing (other than it sounds good in specific contexts).
I don't know how you do it but your clear 'n concise explanations just make the puzzle pieces fall together immediately. Your channel is sorely underrated!!
Well said as Usual. Thanks
Nice clear explanation -- thanks!
Interesting and informative video thanks
Thank you very much sir
Love your jazzy alternatives to this wonderful old hymn. Is there any notation available or do we just need to start and stop your video to get enough of this to practice. Thank you for these techniques.
awesome
cheers
I'm turning into a fan inspite of your accent and the associated disonance. With a dutch inflection and some musical phrasing you would have 100k subscribers ;) Your content is excellent, and you waste little time advancing. I really apreciate that. I watch many many teachers. You've answered a number of questions I was circling around, and introduced me to new, interesting ideas. I should send you a mic and pay for elocution lessons, because I'll be listening more. Hewitt is a great model for low pendantry, and easy humor, while dragging people forward. That could be your new superlocrian presentation mode. But first, harmonic minor will do. One or two tritones per paragraph is plenty. ;) Great job overall, thank you.
Works...thanks. I've done a similar reharmonisation of Mary had a Little Lamb.
Into the future, it would be helpful to hear the progression of development such that at the end of the video you play the original simple song, then without pausing the further developed version is played, then without pausing the final most sophisticated version is played. To take it one step further, include some improvisation around one of the versions before finally walking it back down from most developed, second most developed to the original version.
thoughts?
Great! Can you show us how to do that in a minor song, eg Fly me to the moon?
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found
Was blind but now I see
Was Grace that taught my heart to fear
And Grace, my fears relieved
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed
Through many dangers, toils and snares
We have already come
T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far
And Grace will lead us home
And Grace will lead us home
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind but now I see
Was blind, but now I see
Awesome, perfect timing, I just got a church job!
When do we get to know your name, or see your face?
the jazzy gospel chords are not really in line with the sound of modern gospel harmony. especially the F#7 to Bb7 to Aminor in bars 10-11. the last 4 is a pretty good "jazzy" reharmonization. Keep in mind that gospel music and jazz share a lot of harmony, but sometimes a good choice to a jazz player doesn't sound quite right in a gospel setting.
Nice video for helping pianists get out of the box though, it's a good intro to this kind of harmonization.

I struggle with this constantly because I study jazz and play in church a lot, choosing the right chords is art form in both genres .
Imho, gospel has more of a maj 3rd /maj 6 sound vs min 3rd/ min 6 sound.
I know this may sound silly but if you play gospel you'll understand.
Lol.
Of course, sometimes you can use more colorful so called jazz chords but there's a feel or a spirit that leaves if to much " jazz " is applied.
Gospel is about the word's FIRST anyway and the meaning of word's should be felt and heard in your chords. Your goal is to blend with the desired feel not stand out out.
Lol.
There's some major differences between jazz and gospel, imho, maybe that's why it's called gospel.
Peace
your sub count says 39 Million on my phone lol wtf
I guess everybody has to pretend to be an expert.
Waaaaayy too much talking. and charts that seems. To be a characteristic of British tutorials for one reason.
You made up your mind not to actually play it, eventually.
