Like it! My wife also feels she has been widowed because of these videos. I have downed the audio, in case you tube disappears

jonathanhj I want to show you a professional run but also want to give a little back ground on these wonderful chords. something that helps is remembering that when you have the single notes. c eb gb a as a four note chord they are formed with stack minor diads.. they also have 4 different forms . go up a whole step and stack minor thirds d f ab c the follow same patterns . here is the run it is a hand over hand r stands for right and l stands for left. ( d f ab b ) on right then left same pattern continue moving up the keyboard. then resolve to a c 6 arpegio egac. left hand first then right then left .. these arppegios burn things in your brain by learning these they make you learn these. I probably couldn't forget them if I tried. I've done them possibly a thousands of times.

My wife started drawing up charts showing time in the woodshed verse family time. She calls my saxophone the other woman

That's a great affirmation for me ...and keeps me going! Thanks!

Very nice comment...I'm glad to hear from you, and know I've made a difference.

Thanks for the support ...it really means a lot, and is very helpful to me!

Thank you, Gerson. "Great teacher" is a beautiful compliment, but swagger takes it to a higher level.....that for me does not come natural and takes some work.

Thanks so much for the comment and affirmation, Berth. Please check out my playlists and keep watching! \kzfaq.info/love/dmjw5sm9Kn83TB_rA_QBCwplaylists

If you put work into something...you deserve to learn.....I gain something from every video I do, and I learn from you and my listeners.

+polyinstrumentalist Thanks for the affirmation and I'm glad it is useful to you!

That's exactly right, Perry. You've figured it out to a T!

Thanks Dorian...but I'm definitely not the most popular. We all try to figure out how to be popular...remember?.

If it's educational and entertaining at the same time...then I've done a good job, and bless you for telling me.

+pete tee Thanks for the nice comment and for all your support. I remember you asked for Body and Soul. Any particular reason for that song?

+Kent Hewitt i dont know, cuz it sounds sorta noirish maybe?

Your comment makes me feel good and helpful. I'm glad to pass on the knowledge..... so I'm grateful to you for telling me...keep watching!

Great comment and very encouraging...keeps me going. Many thanks!

You are very welcome, and that's a wonderful comment!

Orange Country ...I've been there, Newport Beach. Also I heard Dizzy Gillespie at the Lighthouse in Hermosa Beach years ago. Love the memories of my youth. Thanks so much for your kind, generous words... and keep watching and I'll keep going! God bless.

If I could put those words into the bank, I'd be rich. But your words do my heart good...thanks!!!

Louis, thanks for the affirmation. Classical to Jazz dreamer is a good thing...it goes both ways.

Louis Pearson yes those moonlight sonata arpeggios coming in handy.

+Murrete Arvindo Thank you!...I'll pass that on to my husband!

That's a great comment and very affirming to me....because that is exactly what I'm trying to do. So thanks, smd, so much!

Thanks for telling me!

Have a blessed holiday.

Please see my video called The Most Amazing Scale...that opens a world of possibilities for improvisation. Thanks!

@@KentHewittpiano88 Yes for sure! I've been going through all your videos. I'm working on the super locrian which takes a little more work.

That's great, please check out my playlist on Improvisation. Click on View Full Playlist under Jazz Improvisation Tutorials. Thanks!

+Chad Alexander I'm glad you told me. There are numerous perspectives so it's a good idea to take them all in and then draw your own conclusions. (or synthesize them)

If I'm a first, then I'll keep doing this. Your comment is very helpful to me, and inspires me to keep going...so I'm grateful!

That's the best news I've had today...your telling me your dad recognized your improvement.... and I helped. Blessings!

Thanks for the comments and support!

Thanks, Go to my playlists ...I have more on this subject.

May the jazz force be with you and propel you to great joy!

Thanks, Ness...I'm glad you like what I do and your comment is helpful to me to stay motivated.

You guys have the rhythmic concept that I envy. Thanks!

Thanks for telling me, Stephen, much appreciated affirmation!

Love you, my man!!

I'm so glad you told me, and thanks so much for the endorsement of my book!

I appreciate the support...keeps me going!

Jazz is scary....and for me the most fun I have with it is listening the great jazz artists. So you honor me and your words keep me going!

Kent Hewitt I personally think jazz players. whether piano...guitar bass drums horns have to be some of the most knowledgeable people in the whole world. one little fact you have to know the scales 12 , the modes 7. the 2 additional minors and that's just the tip of the iceberg. the permutations and combinations are incredible.

You are so welcome!

It did the same for me...and will continue to do so...as do so many other things in music...carry on!

Kent Hewitt Great !

I hope you will watch multiple times...and write to me again.

Thank you for that affirmation...much appreciated!

Saad alhumaid I agrer

+DrDee DrDee, you honor me with your kind words , esp. "classy". I can see you are a classy guy!

+ericlobopiano Hi Eric, thanks so much for the affirmation and support. Please check out my videos and keep in touch! All the best!

Nemesis Project...Man, you just made my day. There's nothing better than having fun doing something you love to do, and growing from the experience. It's the same for me. Blessings and keep swingin'!

Thanks Kent! I can't tell you how it's freed me up. I've been playing a long time, mostly hard rock and jazz, but jazz is where my heart is. The first time I heard Take 5 I was hooked. Went out and worked all summer to buy a piano when I was 16 because my parents thought it was a phase LOL. My dad then bought me a Ramsey Lewis Trio record when he realized it wasn't a phase and I fell in love with cool jazz. Your teaching is awesome and it makes all the night club gigs so much more enjoyable. Thank you again and I look forward to all your music, playing, and of course, your teaching.....

Thanks, Man, you are my brother....if we could ever hang out (I can tell you some stories)...please stay in touch and I'm so glad to meet you.... even if only through these words. Blessings!

You are very welcome! I'd love to hear those stories. I have a few too that might fire you up! Yes I'd love to stay in touch. I watch all your videos. Sometimes someone just speaks to you, you know what I mean? You speak to me and I get it and my playing has just gone into a whole new dimension. Can't thank you enough. Have a great night..

Maybe they don't get it or understand it. we're all different and have different tastes. (I do look at the thumbs up and down however!) Thanks, Brian! Write to me at email if you have some "breakthroughs"

I appreciate your telling me, Brent!

I'm glad I can relate to all levels. That's more helpful to me. But your comments are more important than that. So I'm always grateful to you, Corinne.!

Thanks for writing!

Hi Matt, thank you! I wish I was 16 again, particularly because I remember my high school girlfriend. My advice is: just get inspired by your music and life, and that will motivate you to achieve many things, but not necessarily what you dream (ps: it takes work).

My existence is only reinforced by your tell me so. To Be Or Not To Be!

Oh so great )) Be as long as possible !

Kent Hewitt you left the door wide open . you have to b#.

Thanks for telling me!

My pleasure!

I'm happy to know my lesson is helpful...keep watching!

Repetitions, repetitions…..like making a basketball player practicing making shots...eventually you have it down.

​@@KentHewittpiano88 Folks like you and many others... Aimee Nolte, Signals Music Studio... making the internet great one hour at a time. It's like what they were saying about the potential of the internet back in 1990, and it really happened.
