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

In my opinion, you give the most valuable lessons for decoding music of all the internet. Thanks :)

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!

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.........)

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.

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!!!

That specific OooKkkaaayyy! is also so wonderful during your lesson.

God…I can listen to you play for hours..

👀...Oliver thank you, you are endowed with an exceptional pedagogy!

Many thanks for all your perfect lessons💚💚💚💚👍👍🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Can anyone find a better method of teaching out there? And as smooth and easy? Very gifted and talented teacher.

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!

It’s really a complete guide to use blues scale, pentatonic scale and dorian scale. Plus outside with using the locrian

Thank you! You are the best instructor.

Fantastic teacher. Wonderful style - system of thinking -approach.

Dear Oliver. This has to be one of the best constructive, helpful jazz videos that I have ever watched. Many thanks. Kind regards, Mike Rowsell.

Buenisimo. Excelente. Gracias

I really love this video :3

Excellent diamond quality very moving beautiful timber of teaching God bless you

Amazing.... Thank so so much 🙏🎶🔥❤️

Cheguei aqui para apreciar mais essa riqueza de conteúdo ❤️🥰🎶🎶... Obrigado mestre Oliver

Oliver, just to say a little.. you are amazing. I love your work.. thank you..

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.

So many many thanks from France for your extraordinary teaching that makes things so simple to understand and memorize! Take good care❤

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.

Sir Good Teaching wonderful

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. 🙏🙏

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❤

Sir I want to say a very big thanks to you For making me too understand this modes

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 :)

gracias ¡¡¡¡¡¡ thanks from uruguay ¡¡

Thanks!

Thanks a lot!! You're explaining much accuracy and clearer than professors in my National music academy))

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.

Played piano for 15 years. Finding so much shit I've never been taught lol. Appreciate the videos

Oliver !! Yo so cool 😎

Love you sir ❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

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.

Ottimo👍

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.

Svaka tebi cast

Lo ve un colombiano mi bro, que genial sus videos, muy buenas explicaciones

Kıymetli bilgileriniz icin çok teşekkür ediyorum Türkiye den selamlar

bravoooooo.

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.

Good morning, Master Oliver. Just let me know when shall i bring you a good coffee for this lesson :) Thanks.

תודה!

I have seen your channel grown I was there from the beginning good job !

If I had discovered your channel 10 years ago, my life would have been different :( But still, thank you very very much

nice video! the trickiest thing is not the notes and handgrips, but to keep this clear rythm and speed in both hands simultaneously

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.

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!

7:41 cracked me up

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.

Your lessons are superb! Your methods of teaching are also superb and your sound is superb! May I ask which of brand the keyboard you use for demonstration in lessons is?

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.

PLEASE soon UPLOAD VIDEO ON:- all the scales. How to play and practice running pieces on them ...what will be the fingering technique.

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!

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. 🤷🏻‍♂️

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?

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.

I didn't know Boris Karloff gave piano lessons?

I just subscribed, please what pianno is that? Model please

Hi Oliver.. you listen to me!! thx

I wish you would give us the notes instead of arrows
