One of the best decisions I ever made!

I did that 3 years ago and it was probably the best musical decision I have made. You'll find a lot of comfort with all the community has to offer such as the monthly challenges, "How to play like 'X Jazz Legend'" transcription exercises, live seminars, and overall collaboration between the teachers and the members. Not to mention the hundreds of lessons on theory concepts and jazz standards.

Hi Javier, the subtitles are showing for me. I see the "CC" button on the video player. Hopefully it is the same for you now! Cheers, Hayden from PianoGroove

Ok, now the button is active. Thank you very much Hayden

Gotta subscribe

Hola Arley Pulsa primero el botón de activar subtítulos en la parte inferior derecha de la pantalla y a continuación el botón de la rueda dentada que está a su derecha y eliges traducir automáticamente y aparece un desplegable en el que puedes elegir el español, no es muy preciso en muchas ocasiones pero algo puede ayudar, Saludos

Muchísimas gracias Master aprendo mucho de tus videos saludos desde Bogotá - Colombia

@@1arlumbert , Ya me gustaría ser yo el Master, solo soy un estudiante principiante ávido de aprender a los 67 años. Espero que te sirva de ayuda el traductor , Saludos desde España

Si es de grande ayuda Dios lo bendiga

I'm also intermediate. ..just play what he is doing. Take a tiny bite of one tune. See what he is doing..try to understand the note order.. then play it in different keys. ..Listen to the tune of it..what it does..does it curl around..flutter.. see if you can think & feel it. It will expand your ability to play. ..and play w/out having to read the notes(where alot of us get stuck).. ..I wish you lots of fun..

Step out of your comfort zone and try to learn Eb major.

​@@rajman2900 i wanna ask something, should i practice and memorize all form of inversion from every keys first, or should i practice every scale first?

@@steffanyr1038 Learn every scale first, If you find that it will take too long or you get bored, learn at least the scales until you reach 2 or 3 accidentals and practice the scale starting on the 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th note. Then you move on to the triads and then 7th chords

@@JohnsonSmithson thanks for answering! I already memorized the major scale from all of the 12 keys, i think i would go for the minor scale after (melodic, harmonic, and the natural one). So, after i perfected and completely memorized everything about the scale, should i go for the mode like lydian and others, or do i need to practice the inversion from all chord first?

Sounds like a you problem 😅 In all seriousness, if you take the major scale and number it you’ll see he’s just aiming for the 3rd of each chord. Forget the enclosures for now ❤

@@willzang3000 jah of course its a me problem i dont understand shit about music theory. and that he aims the third note of major scale okay thats easy. But in genreal are this videos funny because it sounds like higher math lecture. And its also relativly useless, to master a instrument means in large part to build up a muscle memory. No one who performcs calculate explicit :"now i go to the third degree of the scale" .

ah i see i see, the humour !!! my bad. i just watched a great video about the 4 tyopes of memory used in piano playing, pretty cool. muscle memory tends to fail once stress is applied, have you ever had something down then get in the room with your teacher and its gone!? crazy stuff@@captaindeabo8206

it sounds like you gotta start with something simpler

⁠​⁠@@captaindeabo8206It’s not useless. These terms are so that musicians can effectively communicate. If you had a bunch of musicians all with their own lingo “you know that kind of sad sounding chord where you play an additional note right before the octave repeats, yeah play that one but starting on the note right before the two black keys” this would lead to a lot of misunderstandings and wrongly played music. Even if another musician deduced that I was talking about a Cmaj7 chord (which is doubtful), it would be an inefficient way to do things. It is better that I say Cmaj7 and then musicians universally understand what I am talking about and it is unequivocal. Furthermore havjng a base of knowledgeable in these concepts helps musicians compose their own music. This is a video specifically about improv, _not_ muscle memory but the opposite. Understanding these concepts is pretty necessary for that. Of course, you can always break the “rules,” but there is a reason why a musician who is told to write their own song will sound better than someone who has never played an instrument told to write their own song. Because the musician understands things like chords and scales, understands the relationships between different notes, what sounds good together and what doesn’t, and if they are trying to get a specific sound they know what to do, e.g. using a series of half steps for a foreboding sound, rather than just blindly stabbing away at the keyboard at random until a sequence sounds good. Last reason is that by not having concepts like this, you would be pretty limited in your repertoire of music you can play by memory. Your repertoire would only be as big as what you can remember perfectly. By understanding these concepts, you don’t have to entirely relearn a song if you haven’t played it in a while, you can quickly remind yourself by looking at what the progression is, what the scale is.. of course musicians will have certain go-to songs that they will always remember how to play, but how many of those? Not 100. By knowing these concepts you have given your memory a break from having to remember literally every note in every song you play.
