The next time I order a pizza, I shall expect to see a full chromatic scale on the menu.

this guy's voice cracks me up - as entertaining to listen to him as it is to work on my lousy improv skills :D

Wow!!! Sir, your ideas, your presentation is brilliant!! You are an incredible musician and teacher. As an old washed up man, I only wish I could have had a teacher like you when I was a boy. In a world where there is so much bad and hate, it is good to know that there are people like as you who are spreading such good!! Whoever put a thumbs down on your work is jealous and envious. Please keep posting.

I was just binge watching your videos and I found this one, that I've watched BEFORE, but NOW is the first time that I realized that this video is by YOU!!!! I LOVE this video, and your OTHERS are ALSO good!!!! 😍

When you can teach a musically abstract technical artistic subject in a non-technical visual & taste-oriented way like this? Your lesson methods become pure genius. Has to be one of the top easiest to grasp music lessons ever published on KZfaq. This will be a classic for years to come! Kudos!

Great. Very enlightening. I'm at the point where I need a methodical way to practice over Blues chord progressions, and this is the perfect answer and method. Thanks!

Just amazing. A simple idea and each time I could hear the note within the improvising. Thank you!

The best video I've watched on this subject! Very tasteful solo choices, easy to replicate - one thing is to hear the notes being played by someone else; another totally different thing is to play the same lines and listen to those amazing tones coming from yourself! And the way you made the pizza metaphor actually working - we can indeed feel how each interval tastes - is pure ingenious!

I love anchovies! So by your reckoning the altered scale is - base, anchovies, chilli, garlic, tomato, pineapple and salami (no cheese). That is one hell of a pizza. On the other hand, the lydian dominant is base, oregano, tomato, garlic, cheese, garlic, ham, salami which sounds much more like something a normal person might eat.

Very imaginative approach and very inspiring. Thank you for all your sharings. It's very stimulating and really encourages to invent on our own too. Tons of digital applause (likes and shares) !

Wow! Best example of how to change up an improv. very simply. Wish I had seen this years ago.

wow, what a interesting and fun approach to jazz improvisation! very entertaining to watch and clear idea! thanks for sharing

Best Jazz channel!!!

Fantastic video! This method is by far the easiest way to explain how to play blues.

Food for thought... No pun intended. Never looked at it this way, keep up the great work!

Hi Nick, all these teaching videos, are quite entertaining which holds the viewer's interest! Thank you for developing these awesome ways of learning and enjoying music! 🎶

Thank you so much for making this amazing video. This video is so helpful to make melodical improvisation for me! Comment from South Korea!

My favorite music vídeo on KZfaq!!! Amazing analogy ...perfect vídeo !!!!!!

Tel onions Monk 😁🍽️🍕

This lesson made me very hungry.

Excellent! A great lesson is a live approach to improvisation!

THANK YOU FOR THIS VERY USEFUL VIDEO. GREETINGS FROM BRAZIL. GOD BLESS YOU AND WISH THE BEST. THANKS FOR YOUR GREAT GENEROSITY IN SHARING YOUR GOLD KNOWLEDGE WITH ALL OF US.

I’ve always thought of music like food. This makes so much sense to me. Thank you

Great Video! The thing i like best is the clarity of examples. It makes it easy to compare the different note choices/colours/flavours with each other. nice one!

Excellent! This is what teaching is about. Bravo! Thank you ever so much.

Hello Nick, Congratulations! I most say that this method works very well I used it with some of my mallets beginner and intermediate students. It's very basic and super easy to understand. Not intimidating at all! Anyone can do it. Great information on you Chanel. Oc

Excellent, Great Presentation!! Thank You Sir!!

That's what I looking for on youtube. Thanks man.

I wish you had shown the patterns that you were playing in a score so we could better understand how you use each of them for a melody. This is the creative part. Many people can just play the melody fragments by ear, but other people need to at least see it once on paper if this is very new to them.

Very nice and usefull tuto ! Very usefull for the ears and the fingers on instrum. I discovered something deviate from this : the basic 1 3 5 6 of the base pizza is the base for Piano Left Hand ! Thanks a lot, I will practice this for my Left Hand. Thanks a lot and take care

I so enjoy this presentation.

Genius! Awesome idea!

Great lesson. And now I know what I'm cooking for tonight's dinner....

VERY GREAT LESSON !! I LOVE BLUES AS WELL AS PIZZA... so both together it is the TOP for ME !! :-)

Man... I love the way you teach! This is a great approach with great practical examples! Could you upload a long video with just the backing track from this video?

This is a great lesson. I will come back and explore these - it seems like a really great way in ...

Love it and appreciate the quality of your videos.

three major blues scales for the whole progresion fits nice, terefenko says the same, i like what you have done, the same changes for the three chords sounds nice all the time and is a good method, really good one

Genius and simple - geniale e semplice

Excellent track Thank you Thank you

A better title may be playing simple jazz phrases over a I,IV, V. Great explanation and video. I dp really dig the lesson. Thanks.

The perfect lesson.

I heard from a good Italian source that people in Oregon put ham on pizza. It caused him to return to the east coast much earlier than expected.

That was a great lesson thanks

That sounds really nice!

fantastic

Ahahahah had some much fun and laughs listening to this ! Thanks a lot, it's awesome !

Very creative...Thank you... It is like when A. Rimbaud talked about synesthesia in the XIX century. Music is so abstract that semiotic cannot reach it. Pizza might!

So great! Thank you! I' ve shared your chanel! Keep it on!

What an awesome video, i'm going to share ir with my music buddies! Cheers from an argentinian suscriber!

Great man. It was a feast

great ear training, thank you

Just got turned on to your channel and wow there's so much great stuff to dig into here.

Muchísimas gracias. Me ha ayudado avanzar después de mucho tiempo en un hollo.

Brilliant analogy

Well done and very playful.

Nice lesson on blues .How about something similar on I vi ii Vs. Or major and minor ii Vs .

This pizza is *exotic*

Man this video made me laugh and learn a lot! Thank you very much for this educational videos

Hungary to learn it, thank you.

Very interesting concept.

very good

...now you made me hungry...

Or should we build our pizzas as tertial structures? For instance Lydian pizza is base, tomato, cheese, olives, oregano, garlic and ham? That makes more sense actually as a menu listing.

You have produced an Awesome Sauce. You can cook for us anytime :). This was very informative in content i am eager to just play around with the concept.

oh i love you! And thank you so much!

This is so great

Thank you for this

Amazing!

Congratulations my friend I subscribe and I give you a thousand I like, I love music, just a big curiosity: what software do you use for animations? Respectfully greetings and blessings from Mexico City
