My wife and I fell in love listening to Fats Waller together. Fast forward twenty five years and I started piano five years ago. I just discovered your channel yesterday. Your technical skills and joy of music brings tears to my eyes. A man can dream. Thank you for your dedication and inspiration.

I find it funny how you have to your legs bounce to counteract the wild jumping of your left hand when you really get up to speed! Great video as always 👍

@kalospiano9470 2 жыл бұрын

stride for me is the single most difficult thing to do on the piano. Big fast jumps is something I just can't seem to get used to, no matter how much I practice. Oh, well, brilliant video as always anyway :)

Hey Stijin, another great video! Marvelous. You seem to read my mind 'cause I had been trying to find a good transcription of Honeysuckle Rose. I'm kind of in a jam though because I just discovered Red Garland through the Miles Davis Cookin', Relaxin', Steamin', Walkin', etc. albums. I bought a box set of 24 albums for $24.95. Red seems to have synthesized every one's style from Bud Powell to Ahmad Jamal. Cheers!

Great vid(as always)but why no rootless voicings

@StijnWauters 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you! In this (early) stride style (Fats Waller, James P. Johnson,..) pianists use triads or 7th chords, but rootless voicings would sound too modern. You can play rootless voicings in stride (for exemple in slower ballads), but it will sound different and you would improvise differently in the RH too..

@SuperSRFrost 2 жыл бұрын

What do you play in the right hand when using stride as a comping device? The left hand by itself is harmonically complete. Is playing a riff like you did over the turnaround the best option, or would you rather use full chords or single line improv?

@StijnWauters 2 жыл бұрын

Hi, Rogier! I wanted to focus on the LH in this video, so in the RH I mainly played the melody of the standards (often in chords), and for the turn around exercises I played some typical RH chord-like exemples that are not too complicated to transpose.. :-) But besides playing the melody, you can of course improvise (both in chords or single line), but it’s difficult to play and improvise in the style.. I will make a video on RH stride exemples soon!

@UkuleleAversion 2 жыл бұрын

I really like Art Tatum’s stride piano but there are four major tenths that my left hand can’t reach (Ab, Bb, Db, Eb) and rolling every major tenth isn’t practical at tempo.

@StijnWauters 2 жыл бұрын

Same here, I only can reach major tenths on the white keys, and rolling tenths at a faster tempo doesn’t work for me either.. I only use tenths in ballads or at a medium tempo.

@strat1227 2 жыл бұрын

Why do you emphasize no rootless? Is that characteristic of this style you're playing? In Jazz ballads I feel like I see root + rootless voicings regularly

@RobinJWheeler 2 жыл бұрын

Rootless voicings are too modern sounding for this kind of stride. Use them if you want but it will sound post 1960s. Stride with triads as the top chord will sound pre 1930s. With 7th chords it will sound like 1940s and 1950s. Roughly speaking.

This guys hands are definitely larger than mine. Look at him hitting those 10ths! I can not reach,,, even cheating using the key edges! Granted hes also using the key edges but still hes pulling it off and I physically cannot.
