Aimee, I cannot get enough of you. Please take this the right way.

Thanx Aimee!

Awsome lesson Aimee! Great teaching!

You are Great Aimee.

Thank you!!! Always very good Aimee

This is so helpful Aimee. Not just a lick but a way of approaching a new lick for the first time, namely clapping the rhythm out and singing it before actually playing. I'm a guitarist and of course, all this applies equally well in my case. Thanks for the lick itself. I'll be playing this on guitar asap. :-)

Thanks, Aimee. What an awesome lesson! As a guitarist, the double stops at the beginning of the phrase are a little difficult to play, but the double stops at the end sound amazing on guitar. This will become part of my vocabulary. This is very slick sounding line.

thanks for another amazing lesson!

This is really cool ! keep on with these lessons it's great!

Very informative. Thanks.

Great explanation, you made it easy to understand thanks

i was just practicing something similar! great lesson

So hip, so helpful!

You're not crazy. I agree as far as sing before you play. I believe in FEEL it, sing it, play it....and if you haven't yet, understand it. Lol I loved this.

I wish that I had listened to as much music, jazz, or no, as you have Aimee! JAzz, is not my heartthrob, but, I like alot of music. Just listening and dissecting any is a big part of playing and singing. Again, I can't tell you how much I appreciate your work here! For me and Others!

Subdividing in your head is SO important! This hits home more & more with me all the time, especially as my role as a big band drummer with community band the past 20-plus years. It also applies to all types of music though, from my small jazz combos, to learning new authentic flamenco rhythms on my cajon with a flamenco group, or to simply singing around the campfire with my six-string. In fact, I just iterated this with a young junior-high drummer last night, who was learning to play the slow "God Bless The Child" with his school jazz band. Even though the music was in rather slow 4/4 and simply stated "Jazz Feel" (really, Mr. Arranger?) I told him think of it more in a 12/8 feel, and count "one-trip-let, two-trip-let....". I've only stumbled upon your channel just recently, but I'm already a fan. Thanks for your enthusiastic and fun energy in presenting & sharing your musical nuggets of wisdom :-)

awesome thnx

Wow. That seems easy when you explain it.

Anyone who hasn't watched Indian Rhythms with Dr. Levin here on youtube needs to do so now :-) He has some good rhythm sentences.

she's got my heart

This is why I practice freestyle rap, you come up with rhythmic lines like this haha.

All this good stuff AND the dishes got done?! #winning

Is it possible for you to do a video on the "bird blues" changes and maybe your favorite tune that follows the changes and how to approach the changes in terms of improvisation?

"You gotta sing it before you can play it." Words of wisdom from Aimee Nolte.

Hi Aimee. Love your licks! I would like to see an extended video demonstrating how you would execute this in all 12 keys. You're very good at breaking things down and detailing how things are done.

Could you do one about harmonic movement, the kind you see in a YT video of Mulgrew Miller playing Old Folks? I know it's a bit specific, but just an idea :) A style where you really take a long way to approach a chord, not only triton substitutions or chromatic dominant movements, but a combination of the two mixed with other kinds of passing chords. I'm addicted to these sounds and would love some new perspective to expand on.

Aimee from 6:50 onward you would make Ed Thigpen and Oscar, Ray Brown et al very proud. Just saying :)

I want to use that in a bossa like the song Wave and how about on Spain by C Corea? Thanks.

How do you stay in time, when out of time?...Just saw it in the live take, when talking and playing at the same time, or playing out thinking of something else, chord, line, whatever....the comping gets faster and slower, but it doesnt fall apart. what is your anchor? are you then accenting on a beat, or is it more the dynamic as a whole that keeps it together?

Indeed! (I'm a language learner, my scatting includes weird phonemes. Practicing melody, rhythms and foreign sounds at the same time.)

Aimee, your videos are so inspiring, endearing, and engaging that I just spent the morning binge watching them when I should have been cleaning the house in preparation for my mother-in-law's visit from out of town. You have a new fan/inspired fellow musician! Now, excuse me while I put Yakety Sax on loop and run around in an attempt to get this place tidied up.

I believe 03:16-03:26 is an excerpt from a Steve Reich piece

Do something on reading music and Jerry Lee Lewis style of play

Great idea aimee...

Aimee: De do do do, de da da da is all Sting wants to say to you.

Jabadaba Doo!

that left hand, the ii - V - I...I need to learn that. I am stuck on I - iv - V

There ought to be some kind of cutting contest for jazz singers where they're only allowed to sing the phrases: yaba daba doba and scooby doobie do.

not that it means anything but, I sorta came up with a funny scat thing when I listen to the radio and a commercial is on and the announcer is talking really fast to get it all in and I`m like: ya ya well, `bottle ah bottle ah bottle ah bottle ah bottle ah` scatted as fast as you can scat that. I crack myself up when I do that. heheto add: or maybe its ` botta lah botta lah` anyway. :-)

40k :-)

one - e - a - two - e - a is how I do trips. One - e - & - a - Two - e - a - Three - e - & a - four - e - a.

I thought triplet is three people who are born at the same time. and the same.

what if you are a well known famous pianist. are you still same as you are generous kind teature as for now ?

Reminds me of the Everybody Loves Raymond Theme Song!

ja ba da da ja ba da da ja ba da da ja ba da hut

Riddle: Why is a suburban real estate developer like a drummer?

Hot teacher. Thanks from Spain

I've noticed this pattern with all the jazz KZfaqrs: start with some decent jazz lessons and as more flowers come gradually simpler lessons. what gives?
