I appreciate the comment, Pablo!

Glad you liked it!

Glad to hear that, thanks for the comment!

Hey Lonnie, thank you for the amazing comment! So glad to hear this! You're exactly right, every minor mode for example provides a different atmosphere and when to choose one over the other depends on the context of the music.

Thanks again, Brenden, for the clarity. Listen, i'm learning "Blue In Green" and do you have a podcast on that Miles/Evans piece where you talk about its "modalness." There's no key signature to ground me for thinking in the various modes in the composition.

Hey Lonnie: we don't have a podcast on Blue In Green, but I will note your request.

Hi Hung, thanks for checking out the video and for your question! You're right - a lot of the modes in this tune especially can all be simplified to Bb major (like you said Eb lydian is the same as Bb major). This video is not to suggest to think about C Dorian, F mixo, Bb ioanian, Eb lydian, A locrian, etc every new chord, but rather just an explanation of the modes and how they work.

i see, hope you make other videos about modes in use and applyfication in context, thank you for respond.

Thanks Hung! Your request has been noted.

Hi Matt: thanks for the question. The short answer is both! However, keep in mind that if you play a rootless 3-5-7-9 voicing in your left hand, and treat the 3-5-7-9 as the new 1-3-5-7 in your RH, then it’s the equivalent of changing the chord from a Cmaj7 to an Emin7 for example (or Cmin7 to Ebmaj7 in the case of a minor chord). So you can still play the 3-5-7-9, but treat the 9 as you would do any other time, it’s still a color tone/extension, and treat the 1-3-5-7 as the main chord tones when improvising in your RH otherwise it might lose it’s tonal center. Hope this helps!

@@jazzpianoschool Excellent! Appreciate you and this channel it's so well done

Awesome, glad to hear that!

Hi Isma, thanks for watching and for the question. You are correct, a chord tone is the 1, 3, 5, and 7th of the chords. The name chord tone implies the notes of the chord you are playing. Hope this is helpful!

JazzPianoSchool.com - Learning Freedom (Online Jazz Piano Courses) yes thank you, by the way I appreciate very much your videos and your way of teaching.

How about chords with alterations, are the alterations chord tones to be targeted? i.e. C7(b9) - would you consider the b9 of this chord as a chord tone to be "targeted" when soloing?

BlahMmm Blah almost

Thank you!

Thanks, Levis!

It certainly can! And different modes can create different moods, once you understand the mood of the sound each one creates it's a matter of personal taste!

The modes help explain each chord scale from the root. You can think of wider key centers like you're describing if you can identify a key center (like a 2-5-1 in Bb Major for example). Hope this helps!

@@jazzpianoschool So the modes are not really necessary if you can just play the main scale (“Bb” let’s say)? I think I’m not understanding your explanation correctly.

Hi @huge da: not sure exactly what you're referring to, please clarify so we can better assist you!

Add English subtitles to the video, so it’s easier to follow your narration

LOL!

Precisely, Alan! It’s that easy!

JazzPianoSchool.com - Learning Freedom (Online Jazz Piano Courses) thanks for answering, but I don’t see the point of modes 😂

@@AlanOtto i didn t see the point for years too, but the way he explains it in the video makes it very clear that it is very important because if you just think in term of key when you improvise, u have more chance to hit the wrong notes at the wrong time. It has a lot to do with the rythm. That s what is important.

;)

here's several things for how to learn piano Try practicing for 1 hour each day, or half an hour if you short of time. Do extra practice whenever you have more time. For example, on weekends you can do more than 1 hour, perhaps 2 or three, or even more. (I discovered about these and more on Denelle piano lesson site )

You should learn scales before watching this. It is really complicated without knowing scales

@@kingkay2931 ik the scales but i meant like trying to transfer this to playing melodies white chords
