Thanks Jeremy, much appreciated

Outstanding. I've never come across these methods in any other place and they are fantastic. I'm saving up for your books.

Love the guide tone line concept! I've always conceptualized guide tones as the skeleton of a chord, but now I see them as the tones that guide you through a progression!

Gold dust - thx for your generosity in discussing these ideas with us.

This single lesson is pure gold - a gateway drug for real improvisation. Of course what Jeremy said applies to all forms. I couldn't decide which chord tones to target. Just one minute of explanation and I feel my lines started to sound much less crappy - when I deliberately target thirds or any other strong chord tones. The key here is - delibaration (of course we are talking about exercises, not performing on stage :-) Thanks!!!

Best tutorial for us beginners and best sound out of your new mic-earphones setup! Thanks so much! By the way your book and Mortensen one are the best in each respective field so I am waiting for your improvisation manual as well!

Three and half minutes in the video and already I'm enjoying the tips a lot. Great tips!

I appreciated the ear training advice to not play the root first, but instead try to anticipate and then sing the third of the chord first, then follow with the root. It exposed my weakness. Practice, practice! Thanks!!

You are an oustanding teacher Jeremy. Much respect for you! Thank you so much for all the content of your concepts and approaches to music! The world is a better place because of it!

Wow, this is exactly what i was looking for. I'll definitely buy the book. BRILLIANT.

Jeremy, I really like structured exercises like this. I'm looking forward to trying this one! The only extra thing I desired from the video, is for you to show us at the end how an actual improvisation (not exercise) will sound once you incorporate 3rds on downbeat, enclosures, guide tones etc.

"chromatic enclosure" another amazingly simple, powerful, tool. thanks!

Magnific Mr. Jeremy, thanks for your knowledge.

Really good restrictive practice ideas here. I used to wonder what the point of this sort of practice was, but realised a while ago that they are do give muscle memory of useful finger “geography” of the form, but the ear training element is the most powerful part. It helps closes the gap between what I’m thinking and what comes out on the piano. I also like that it shows how to take an exercise and vary it. I can already think of other ways to use it. Any chord tone, move the beat on which you land. ❤

Love these exercises and explanations.

Such a great lesson - thanks, Jeremy!

The best!!! Thanks a lot!!!

uploading about improv more please！！

Lo mejor del día de hoy en KZfaq. Gracias por compartir esta información. Dios le siga bendiciendo

Very interesting lesson. Many thanks

Thanks I'll try this today with my students

Wonderful, clear & inspiring, many thanks Jeremy!

Hi Jeremy, thanks for the nice video! What a great teacher you are! Wanna ask you something, what are some portable piano/keyboard you recommend for beginners playing jazz? I mean the travel friendly ones

Really helpful stuff. Going to work on this. Thank you, Jeremy.

Hi Jeremy--Very specific question on this (while returning to this video for some basics as I apply it to every tune I learn!) At 3:15 you start the exercise of connecting the 3rds simply by scale, and then from 3:15 to 3:50 you play 2 sample choruses. (I actually transcribed that and the following examples!). In each measure over Bb7 you play E-naturals, not E-flats...why is that? Wouldn't E-flat be part of the myxolidan scale for Bb7? Of course the E-natural sounds better, but I wouldn't have thought to play it! (Is it because it's part of the altered scale? But that doesn't seem to be the scale you're playing?) Thanks! --Jon

Sang it, maestro! Hit them thirds!!

Very practical 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Yessss clicked instantly!!!

hey jeremy, thanks som, much for these execisis, but couldnt you always keep the big picture when you demonstrate, its so important for me as a classical trained pianist to see you improvise....thanks mikael

What’s the name of the program you use to write the music on the iPad?

great vid! What scale are you using on the D7 (b9) ? :)

Fiz três anos de aula na Fundação das Artes com prof. Mário César e o cara não me ensinou nem perto da metade do que tem nessa aula. Como tem profissional incompetente em todas as áreas!

Do you give online lessons????

How to play in constant 16th or in constant 8 triplets?

Are these exercises in your book?
