    I'm a classical player who can handle concertos but I'm intimidated by jazz. This is exceptional, and really helpful. Thanks.

    As a brazilian I must say its a pretty accurate video :D. But its good to add that is a "fast bossa", which uses a more "samba" bassline, the "slow bossa" (which is the one we reffer when we say "bossa nova") has a less rhytmic bassline (the syncopation of the right hand remains the same in both styles). But wonderful job!

    Thanks so much for the lovely comment Jonas! I love reading it. I remember when I first got into jazz. I was so inspired but had to find out where to look for information by myself, there was no one I knew when I first started who could show me the way. Really glad my videos are there for you!

    The longer videos are great! These concepts take time and shouldn't be rushed. Thanks again for the great work and bringing the jazz musician's community a little closer together.

  • @jonassharma1

    I am an aspiring jazz piano player and have been really frustrated at how to go about it. Till I came across your videos. Now I am more confident after knowing and learning that there is a pattern to follow. What a great teacher you are. Thank you so much!

  • @jazztutorial
    @jazztutorial  11 років тому +2

    Thanks so much Chris, this comment really resonates with me. I've seen that pretentious attitude all my time studying music, and it really gets in the way. Loved waking up to this comment, really pleased the video helped :)
    p.s. yes the Slow Hot Wind and Song for my Father are favorites of mine too!

  • @jazztutorial

  • @jazztutorial

    Oh and it's lovely if you can ever play bossa nova piano with a singer - I agree. That's one of my favorite settings!

    First time I've watched one of your videos, and I'm very impressed. Clear, simple, straightforward, professional, and direct. Very humble, yet confident and certain at the same time. You're just here to give of your knowledge, and that's wonderful. The graphics were clear, well timed, and enhanced the education. Thank you. I'll absolutely be tuning back for morre

  • @jazztutorial
    @jazztutorial  10 років тому

    Nice! Thanks for the question Kurt. I would play LH bassline and RH chords when playing with a singer, or another instrument that is playing the melody or a solo. It's a good texture to accompany another player with, especially if you have no bass player. But playing this pattern solo piano will get boring fairly quickly.

  • @rbuonfiglio
    @rbuonfiglio 10 років тому

    Great videos! Been studying and playing drums and percussion for years, and had a few stutter-starts at vibraphone (never quite getting up to speed with it, sad to say.) My daughter recently began piano with a teacher with a jazz background, and I'm feeling like it's good for me to understand more music theory.
    Thank you so much.

    Worth the wait. Again another terrific tutorial. I was quite thrilled to hear a little Henry Mancini and Horace Silver thrown in the mix. The stuff you do is so insightful and set out in such an unpretentious manner, it can only be marveled at.

    @AcousticBruce 11 років тому

    Thank you for the video. I will use the advice and practice bossa over jazz standards. Right now I happen to be working on Invitation and Lets Fall In Love. I also have Misty at the piano so I will pull that one out again.

  • @jazztutorial
    @jazztutorial  11 років тому +1

    Hey PlanBeatz - yeah that's a modulation (key change). It's subtle - pop music used to do this a lot more in the old days. Recently everything seems to stick to one key. I've been listening to the Police a lot lately - they have a good amount of modulation. Just like the song you sent me - they do it subtly.
    One of my favorite ways to change key is if you're in C minor, you can modulate to the key of F minor:
    Play a C minor chord, then go to Db major chord, then to F minor. Now you're in F minor

    My favorite Cole Porter songs to play in the Bossa Nova style is Begin the Beguine and Night and Day. I combine these into a medley with Gershwin's Summertime and it works really great! Try it and see how you like that combination.

    Great lesson man, I simply adore you lessons. But in fact back here in Brazil, most of the bossa nova is wrote in 2/4. They just adapted it into 4/4 because 2/4 is not usual worldwide.

    Thanks for this lesson. It looks easy and I love the rhythm.
    My instrument (MoXf8) has so much, that I am going to have to dedicate lots of time to learning how to program it for things like the Bossa Nova percussion.
    I noticed you are using "Superior Grand" on your Roland. I wonder if there is a compatibility chart so I can know the name of the same sound on my Yamaha?
