Thank you for your good heart in imparting piano skills to students who are in earnest wanting to learn.

This is incredible. As a largely self taught player of various instruments, I’ve been struggling for years to understand a consistent method to easily construct chords in any key from lead sheets, fully understand the notations and their subtle differences, not to mention the difference between diminished, half diminished, diminished Major etc etc… and all this in only Lesson 2. Thank-you so much. Formidable!

A PDF of "The Basic Jazz Chord Types" Would really help.

Loving the course so far. Am learning that chord melody from the previous course. A little difficult but I’m getting there, almost finish. Can’t put into words how useful these lessons are. This man is definitely gold. Thank you.😊❤

Thank you very much!! The way you broke it down to semi-tones, makes a lot of sense. I've only seen how to construct Major and Minors using numbered semi-tones. But have not seen the formula for all others!! I will have to memorized each construction type. Thank you again!!

Great work. All chords understood, now will practice changing keys. It’ll be interesting to see how fluent or not this gets over the next week. TY as always.

Thank you so much Assaf, I look forward to the next lesson. 👍

Thank you for the piano lessons. Please keep uploading more tutorials videos.❤

Thank you so much for this amazing lesson. I have seen lesson 4, went back to this lesson to learn the jazz balad. I can now play it completely (simple version) 😄 I have been practing my major scales and major chords. I have scale c to e inprinted now and I know 5 major cords chromatically going from C to E. Thanks for this. I wish you could make a structured checklist somewhere, so I can follow it step by step exactly. I want to watch the new released videos too but im afraid of going too quick. Cheers mate thanks again

Thank you. I enjoyed your intermediate/Chaccone lessons. Looking forward to this!

Outstanding sir

Thank you!!! ❤

Best teacher by me clear ❤❤❤❤❤

This course is amazing, truly amasing. Of course for someone self taught as myself and only starting to do jazz and trying to improvise is a lot of work BUT at least I understand it and it’s not overwhelming to the point I feel I can’t do it or achieve it. So many KZfaq teachers and courses and the teachers either work too fast and worse even when slowed down their fingers are so subtle it’s hard to follow. This is clearly illustrated with the music clearly visible and at a good proper beginner pace. Many great piano teachers and even courses but they lack the ability to teach their craftsmanship like a bad maths teacher (but can do it themself just can’t teach!) or their illustrations are either out of focus, too small for the eye or just can’t follow it for various reasons. I’m so loving this course and am going to learn the chords via the jazz ballad illustrated for us to learn. Admittedly, I started learning the hard version and found it initially very hard but today it felt more comfortable moving from one chord to the next. I only got third through though. I will however, now learn the easier version in this video and start transposing. It’s like a light bulb has gone off. Even making sense of the chords e.g. Cm7b5 etc would be confusing but I understand now how to read these jazz chords cos this way will give greater understanding to the chords. I feel so excited and honoured that Mangold is taking time out of his life to do his best to help people that are so interested to learn jazz but no one really cares enough to take us through the concepts from beginner level. There’s too many adhoc random tutoring on KZfaq. I can only thank Mangold. Huge thanks.

Love this

Thank you so so much for this excellent lesson! Words can’t express the thankfulness I feel for having found your channel! Thank you for sharing your knowledge, and your kind heart. I learnt so much from this. Good wishes, stay well.

thank you! great instruction especially the exercise suggestion

this is a fantastic explanation, thank you

God bless your soul! 🙌🏽✨

Woop part 2. Thanks dude

that's so useful, i'm really grateful to have came across your channel, i'm looking forward to what comes next in this video series thanks wholeheartedly for the work that you provide for free !

Lovely music I feel peace

Great teacher always

I’m waiting ✌️😃

Very useful and informative. Thank you.

Terima kasih brother buat ilmu nya.. Tuhan Yesus Kristus memberkati

Can't wait for the next one!

Thousand thanks!!!!!🙏🙏🙏

Patiently waiting for the next lesson while still struggling with my technique in this one

Thank you Assaf 😊👍

Thank you from Vietnam

Sir an amazing explanation.

Estimado Asaf Muchas gracias!

W teacher

Tq very much for the video...

Thank youu very much sir

Thank You..

Thank you!!

Amazing videos

Thanks 😊

Thanks.

Great lesson! I am surprised however, that you didnt include the C 6/9 in your list of chords types in C. Its used so often in jazz instead of a Cmaj7.

Love you much 😂😂

This looks like it might be exactly the course I’ve been looking for, thank you - except that there’s no sheet music to download or print that I can find? I’d be happy to pay for it if that’s what it took but without anything to print out it’s hard to practice this at the piano. Pretty please? 😊

More tutorial please

Thank you for your great lesson! I just started watching your videos and it seems really nice for newbie like me. Can you recommend any songs for beginners to play for practice?

Exciting😅

excuse me sir, what's the name of the software you are using to show all the notes and chords? is that a digital keyboard connected to your PC? Thanks!

Helpful... how can we spread the 5 and 7 and add melody note in chord ?

Can you share the sheet from the jazz ballad first one you played

ANother excellent tutorial, thank you Maestro Assaf! I shall indeed practise as you recommend. I have one question, but please do not feel obliged to give me a length answer. Q: Regarding the 12 chord types - I know in due course, their constructs (e,g, "R, 4,4,4} will become 'muscle memory', but when starting out, presumably my only option is to *memorize* their constructs and transfer this to the keyboard as I play? OR -- will my later knowledge of SCALES take on this responsibility?

Sarebbe importante indicare anche la diteggiatura per la mano destra altrimenti diventa molto più complesso e snervante. Il brano inoltre presenta nella melodia diverse figure ritmiche che non sono certo facili da eseguire per un principiante. Triplette, legature di valore, note da un sedicesimo. Mi piacerebbe che spiegassi anche la melodia. Grazie

Hi, thanks u so much for your amazing teaching and content that u put out for free , is the exact course I was looking for. I have a just one question 🙋 I’m trying to play the ballad in all 12 keys, but it’s seems that this task would take me more then few weeks. Are you recommending to first master this progression in all keys and just then move on to the next lesson, or it’s a good idea to keep it as a part of daily routine but in parallel continuing with the next lesson in that series of lessons?

Should I learn all chords in all the key then move on to the scales or should i study both at the same time?

That "so what" chord at 0:42 😏

I got a question. How do I stop my back from hurting?

Do you also provide sheet music? Would be great!

But how to play a 7th chord correctly? Mine just sound horribly, and also differently every time I play them - some notes appear a fraction of a second later than others, some notes are randomly louder or quieter than others, etc. There's some basics in the technique that I'm probably missing (e.g., maybe using the arm wrist too much).

Assaf, come mai nella terza misura suoni G Ab Bb quando nello spartito c'è una nota da due quarti Bb seguita da una tripletta A G A? Non capisco. Grazie.

fantastic but these shapes are quite a stretch for newbies .. i will need persistance

As a novice I thought you might like to know that I found the quarter note triplets tricky.
