My mind is completely blown. As a pretty new piano player I’ve never come across the approach of using hand grips and applying them in 5ths. So clever.
My first visit here: "MINDBLOWING"! Wonderfully clear pictured! Subscribed! Thank you, Oliver. (And to all your users: I donated 10 bucks (€) for fantastic time with Piano and O.´s lessons to come.........)
Just discovered this lesson today in the morning and I'm working on it literally crying while I'm feeling how much I'm learning. Huge step forward in my process of leaning how to play piano. I feel that I am in a totally different level from yesterday. I've been teaching myself how to play piano for about 2 years now (consistently practicing practically every day) and since I discovered your channel my skill level has raised to a complete different dimension. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!. THANK YOU A THOUSAND TIMES!! GOOD BLESS YOU OLIVER!!!
Listen to your wonderful relaxing slow voice while watching your fingers flying very quickly over the keys is kind of a unique experience. Thanks again for your great lessons. For me as a beginner, they made to me a big part of enjoying my piano playing.
I worked with a guitarist who'd played with James Brown 3 years, graduated Berklee, played with the Marine Band...... I'd asked him about the phenomenon behind the style a musician gravitates to....... Carlos Santana's Dorian, Al Dimeola's Phrygian, Joe Satriani's Lydian, etc. Now, since birth I was immersed in bebop jazz and world-class performers. Our home was always filled with the music of Bill Evans, Charles Lloyd/Keith Jarrett, Ron Carter, Gary Burton, Modern Jazz Quartet, and also Mahavishnu Orchestra and Return to Forever. While my mother was not a musician, she had HUGE influence on my lifelong musical experience....... from Jefferson Airplane to Pink Floyd, Janis Joplin, Barbara Streisand, Ravi Shankar and MUCH more, I was blessed with the stork's choice of where to drop me :) Since the first pluck of a guitar string 45 years or so ago, I thought and felt "in Dorian". I was curious as to why that was, that it was even evident in my band's 7-hour setlists/repertoire..........his reply "because you can't make any mistakes!!" still has me wondering...... was it condescending? SO, guru, thank you..........I have needed this lesson. Only 45 seconds in, and from other of your videos, I anticipate some ideas on how to get out of the Dorian box. In terms of innovative playing, I've found Dorian to be a bit of a constraint, or perhaps ranking with minor pentatonic in that sense. Of course, it's not about the "limits" but what you do with the "available" notes.
This is absolutely incredible! Only over the past 6 months or so have I been building up to the concept of "playing outside" in a smart, systematic way, and it can be kind of mystifying to hear highly skilled pianists such as yourself execute the idea with such elegance. This idea of gluing together modes with blue notes and pentatonic hand grips makes so much sense, I really appreciate you taking the time to talk it out and demonstrate. Wish I had you as a personal instructor sir!
Translations of the English subtitles to Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and French by Edgardo Solano from Colombia. Thank you so much Edgardo!!! You can turn on the subtitles and choose a language in the video settings. Obrigado parceiro :)
Hello and thanks a lot :) :) :) You can bring me coffee whenever you like, but you know, you don't have to, a really nice comment like yours is all the support I need ;) Cheers from Oliver
another truly inspirational lesson, I wake up with an incredible sense of excitement after your lessons Oliver. I dig the scatting left on the sound recordings for this lesson sounds great. thanks again Oliver.
Thank you so much Oliver. You've taught me so much over the years especially the scales/modes. You are definitely my go to jazz teacher. I wish you all the best. 🙏🙏
The blue notes you add to Dorian happen to be all Locrian notes too. Hence this great dance between both modes here. Blues brings these modes together :) Also an occasional major third or mixing the 7ths would spice things up. Great video, as always Meistro.
In the other video, when he played mixolydian in pentatonic it sounded major, but when you added the 7th it became minor, so it was a turning point for me being able to understand it. Impressively succintly told, even musically befuddled people can understand them.
Thank you so much for your generous voluntary “super thanks” donation - you help keep me going for sure!!! I'm very grateful :) :) :) Best regards from Oliver
Oliver, on August 22 I was doing some carpentry and I brought down a hammer and 60 percent of my hearing was instantly lost. I had unwittingly placed myself inside an acoustic bomb, a small dumpster area with three concrete walls. I had no clue the amplification would be so traumatic. I'm 74!. Fortunately my hearing has mostly recovered and I'm much better. What an experience! I kept believing in my recovery. I've been back to playing and practice for the last two weeks. This spicing up of the dorian mode is just the ticket for practice today. I am thrilled to get back to my passion, the piano!
@@NewJazz It's just about six weeks since the accident. My hearing is about 90 percent recovered. I'll never forget this miserable ordeal. As with every experience, I do alchemy with it, to learn what I must.
@@NewJazz I've seen the specialist. Most of my hearing has returned to pre August levels. I've been wearing hearing aids for a decade. I have good enough hearing now to resume piano practice. That was a close one! Whew!
Oliver once again thank you. I have come across the concept but I didn't really know what they were. Now I do and it really takes the mystery of improvisation out of the arena for sure. I apologise as I mentioned about doing what you do in other modes on the last video I saw but that as my first one so if I came across as a little patronising - sincere apologies for my condescension. Not intentional. Of course you would have done these already. You really are the best.
Fantastic. After watching your channel for a long time, I finally understand the grip method, and it's very effective. While visualizing the keys in the scale or memorizing the scales through practice is a tried and true method, the grip is a very convenient addition and a quick way to get started on creating a sound. Thanks for another great lesson.
It was a very useful and learnable lesson,, I can't express my feelings through my words that how much I'm greatful for you my brother Oliver. Love ya Man. God bless you❤
Beautiful. I've actually somehow found the magic of pentatonic grip myself before, and when watching this video - I was amazed how nicely you can extend it to different positions, still keeping it within chosen key. Simply beautiful, thank you very much :)
Thank you again Oliver! This is a great add-on to your "How to use the PENTATONIC SCALE to improvise thrilling Jazz" ("Pentatonic Row") lesson that you linked to in the description.
Thank you Mr Prehn. Always very much appreciated. If I adjusted the approach for my personal understanding, could I get away with it by combining B Pentatonic with C# Pentatonic? Looking forward to your response! Best regards.
Hi and thanks a lot :) :) :) And you can for sure do that. Good idea actually! Then you have 4 positions right next to each other - a foundation for a lot of fun while playing ;) Cheers from Oliver
What an awesome lesson... even I could understand it. The question is, can I play it? OK, keyboards are going on right now. If your intent was encouragement Oliver... it worked.
Hi and thanks :) Yes, we need to practice a lot along with a metronome. Start out at a very slow pace; better to practice slow and steady than fast and unsteady. In this playlist I've gathered some of my lessons about rhythm - you may want to check that out. Cheers from Oliver ua-cam.com/play/PLd8gNAxPUcJypWNs3rS9Xm7G0loUdTXtM.html
Hi Oliver. I am enjoying your lessons. They are so organized and easy to follow. I love that fact that you take the time needed between steps so that it gives me time to digest!. I am a newbie to Jazz. I played flute for some years. 100 percent classical but I lam "bored" and found you! 1. Do you have a link that explains the "pentatonic grip"? 2. Are all church modes considered pentatonic? Learning a lot watching your videos. Thank you so much. Greet Danmark from me. I was born there!
Hi and thanks a lot. I'm so glad that I can help you a little on your Musical road. I've made lots of lessons about the pentatonic hand grip. I've gathered them in this playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLd8gNAxPUcJyjw8L8463_koSVsPIFkWVX.html Maybe this video (about how to extract the modes by using the pentatonic hand grip) is a good place to start: ua-cam.com/video/P_VtfPlOS7E/v-deo.html Cheers from Oliver
I don't care what nobody says - you play those minor Pentatonic very well. I would like if you give us a lesson on what can happen with the Major Pentatonic.
Thanks a lot :) :) :) You can use the mi pentatonic hand grip to play in Major as well - the flavor depends on the bass note compared to the grip position. For example an Ami pentatonic hand grip is actually a C Major pentatonic scale if C is in the bass. Cheers from Oliver
Thanks again Oliver. Great work. Somehow I manage to play pro gigs with tendonitis and limited feeling in my right thumb, but I can't tolerate a lot of practice. Hand grips are right in my sweet spot, and something I can work into my playing with more study and less practice.
Great video, love to see how smooth you play! I like a lot how you are focussed on optimizations, how to make it easier. For me, a 'mathematical' approach works really well. Simply learning and remember things as they exactly are isn't for me, however the tools and rules I find much easier to remember. With that, I can safely 'forget' the exact notes as I can just reconstruct them.

Such (another) great lesson. should I always improvise on the C tonality (moving between modes) or is there a way i can apply those techniques on 2-51's / regular standards etc?
Hi and thank you so much :) We can play the hand grips in any 12 positions - so you can play in any tonality. By the end of the lesson I show how to transpose to the key of A. In this quite old (but still very valid) lesson we play the 2-5-1 progression in Major by using the pentatonic hand grip: ua-cam.com/video/cvfN8tG1RwU/v-deo.html Maybe you wanna check out that lesson as well ;) Cheers from Oliver
@@NewJazz so are you suggesting that if we understand a jazz standard only via the 2-5-1 'perspective' - we can improvise on it only with the pentatonic hand grip?
@@yossif2504 Yes and no - it may not be the "standard" sound you're looking for. This NewJazz channel is more about modern modal jazz than about the old standards ;) Cheers from Oliver
This pentatonic hand grip method has help me a lot on the past few years without thinking so much. The only problem that I have found is that I always sound the same. 🤷🏻♂️
Hi and great that I can help you on your musical road ;) Try to come up with and practice different motifs by using the hand grip. Then try to incorporate them into your improvisation style. The possibilities for motives and patterns are endless... I'll hope you'll manage... Cheers from Oliver
Dear teacher, the greatest guitar master Andrei Segovia taught his pupils in a masterclass, all professional guitarists: If it is difficult for you, you are doing something wrong.
My mind is completely blown. As a pretty new piano player I’ve never come across the approach of using hand grips and applying them in 5ths. So clever.
In my opinion, you give the most valuable lessons for decoding music of all the internet. Thanks :)
God…I can listen to you play for hours..
I’m going to practice this.
I study voice, flute 🪈 and piano 🎹. Studying jazz and blues after a career of mostly classical. It’s fun!

You are the best jazz piano teacher that I come accross youtube. When I become a great jazz player someday I will tell them Oliver Prehn taught me
You’re a brilliant and generous teacher. Just came upon these videos. I need this now. Thank you!
