Hi dear fellow Musicians :) This playlist is a collection of NewJazz lessons that all show different approaches on how to play and improvise over the very same chord progression as used in the lesson above (a standard sequence of fifths in Emi): kzfaq.info/sun/PLd8gNAxPUcJzqwqL21s9NExEKpk14bglb Enjoy :) Many regards from Oliver Prehn

you deserve the Nobel Prize for Jazz tutorials!

I finally came across a channel that explains, in detail, for free, the method of left handed chords for a jazz trio

The slow calm assured with the classy accent on your voice as you patiently explain what you are doing, is just so amazing. Thank you KZfaq Algorithms for bringing me here!

Man, you took nectar from the gods and gave it to us mortals for fully enjoyment of the simplest pleasures in life

Oliver your style of delivery has taught me more in a week than in the 6 months I've been playing so thank you so much. I have donated £10 to you sir thank you again

TEACHER YOU ARE THE BEST.IF SOMEBODY DISLIKE YOU REMEMBER; : TtHE 'BAD' DOGS BARKS AND THE CARAVAN PASSES! AND YOUR GOOD MUSIC SURVIVES1

Wow! I'm speechless.....for the moment. Okay, This is the stuff that you will not learn in most music schools. I doubt very seriously that there is anyone else online that is willing to show you the intricacies of functional jazz chord progressions at this level. Thank you so much, Oliver!

Dear Master!you conjugate good character nice feelings good heart! So your music and teaching become and are great!

You have the greatest voice of all time!!! amazing teacher too! thank you

You're the robinhood of music, This is gold.

First class professorial level master. I agree 100% with the comments. Thank you. This knowledge is good. I am poor but have arranged my widow's might monthly donations to continue permanently to thank you for your intricate exact detailed proof of musical harmonic progression. The best musical teaching in the last 100 years. Victor Sizer Cambridge

You are God's best gift to me

Blessed Google algorithm for bringing your KZfaq channel into my life. It is incredible what I have learned thanks to your lessons in the year that I have been practicing them. Thank you very much again teacher

Oliver, only two words: thank you.

Yes, Mr. Oliver, this is more in the line of what I'm needing to see more of what my right hand is playing, where should I place my left hand. I need more confidence, as well. Thanks you are the best teaching I've ever seen or met.

My prayers have been answered!

you make life full of colour and magic !!! my hero

I am used to play these voicings since more than 30 years. Nevertheless I am finding at every of Your videos and this one too news. You are phantastic, Oliver! Thank You !

Wow! Incredible lesson! Thank you so much! It will at least take a month to fully be able to memorize this but it will build on foundational knowledge for a long time.

Oliver, you are the best teacher. Thank you for simply explanations. It's a very good pleasure to hear and see you. See you later the next time and warm regards to you.

This is gold... One of the best - if not the "bestest" - lessons I've ever seen in the entire KZfaq. Thank you so much for sharing your time and knowledge!

You've taken the format and presentation to another level, Oliver! Your unique explanation and method gets to grips with the mathematical theory needed to play great jazz sounds.

Спасибо за ваши уроки. Взял себе Kurzweil pc4 для занятий. Ваши обучалки бесценные ❤❤❤

You're indeed the best Oliver..A true blessing to all of us ...please keep on making these videos.😎👏💪

God richly bless you Oliver for such practical and invaluable insight into the rootless left hand voicings. My eyes now see more clearly. You're indeed a selfless and kind teacher. Thank you sir

Es impresionante el trabajo que haces y te lo agradecemos de todo corazon! Abrazo gigante desde Buenos Aires, Argentina!

You are a blessing in my life. Many thanks!

May the universe give me money so that I can finally make a donation to show you how grateful I am

Gracias a ti Oliver .no hay dinero para poder pagar lo que estas enseñando 👍👍👍

Oliver is just awesome i learnt so much.

Hello Oliver. I just discovered your videos and am enjoying them very much. Early in life I had the opportunity of working with an extraordinary arranger who created renditions of songs using the types of things you cover in your lessons. He had a strong influence on my music. He was in a wheelchair and could not play the arrangements he would write out. He would hand the scores to me and other students of his and I would learn how to play them. I loved learning each new score, but the arranger never actually explained to me what he was doing and how he implemented these practices in his scores. What I am finding is that you are picking up for me where he left off. Now, I have a better idea what is "under the hood" of the beautiful sounds I had grown to love. Your lessons are excellent. The best I have seen yet. Thanks!

I'm a jazz trombonist wanting to get some better jazz keyboard chops. This tutorial was great! Donation on the way!

I'm new to Jazz improv. Appreciate this vid and the free lessons 😄

Wow, this is an impressively short video that demonstrates a very practical use of theory for jazz harmonies: The Hand Grip of Cmajor7(b5)= F#m7(b5,11)= Rootless Am6/9= Rootless D13= Rootless Ab7alt. 5 chord qualities in 1 single interval pattern! 👍👍Keep up the great work!

You are a gem to this world

Hi, Oliver. I just finished a big part of your videos. You helped me a lot and my sensitivity to music has never been better since I discovered you. I practice improvisation every day and all the theory you bring in helps me a lot to improve my songs. I'm more singer than pianist but I've been playing a lot for a few months now and I would like to move towards more jazzy compositions. I compose mainly rock and hip hop but I'm open to all styles because the music serves me above all to give another dimension to the lyrics I write. But the more I listen to you the more I tell myself that what I'm doing is a kind of jazz simplified to the bone. Since I've been following you I've been listening to a lot of "Newjazz music". I listened to the arrangement you made on "l'homme armé" project to start with because I know almost nothing about jazz music. And I liked it very much! Then I discovered other artists thx to youtube and some advice of more experiment musician. And I love compositions in the style of Avishai Cohen and Gogo penguin. I like this style, melodious, rhythmically sophisticated, unpredictable, powerful and constantly developing. I would like to compose in this style but when I start I'm lost. Is there a kind of workflow? What makes my composition jazz? Should I start from a chord grid or a theme? Is there a structure in which I can transform a simple musical idea into a complex song? How do I structure my song since I don't seem to see any verses or choruses? As you can see I don't know where to start and each question leads to another. I mean, what do you do to compose? What do they do? A thousand thanks for the time and effort you put into sharing your knowledge. You're so good! I hope one day to be as strong and humble as you are and maybe be able to transmit the music around me with as much energy as you do. Warm regards, A French pianist

So much effort, time, love and knowledge AF?!? in such a short amount of time.. thank you for teaching us 🙏🏽!!!!

Thanks. I try to recognise progressions before watching iv VII III VI ii v i had me thinking now all much clearer

Really, you are a great teacher. You explained things that i never really understand about jazz music. Thank you so much Oliver 😍

i have two weeks in this lesson. Great teacher and player

Great stuff Oliver,like these jazz chord progressions.

Hello Oliver. Your lesson has helped me a lot. I am convinced that I shall be learning more from your fine teaching. Thanks

Such great stuff Oliver,thank you much.

Very well explained, great teaching

Thank you for your very informative videos, Maestro Oliver! I’m learning a lot from you.

Thank you so much for your wonderful lessons of unique synthesis and clarity.

A big love from Nepal

Not easy to digest, but everything is so clearly exposed... I cannot imagine a better way to explain those concepts. Voice, hands and the graphic layer, they work togheter just beautifully at the right pace. I started to play piano because of Oliver, a big thanks from Italy.

WOW YOUR LESSONS ARE ALWAYS GREAT SIR...

Thank you so much for your concise clear description of the grips principle.

OLIVER - THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN - FOR ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO

Your lesson is so useful to me. I'm recognizing chord(shape) you taught on previous videos more and more as my trying to transcribe more and more songs, not only jazz but soul or RnB songs. Thank you so much!

Here a letter from the Netherlands.Best wishes for a Happy New Year. I transcribe all your videos. Note for note and letter by letter. Then two files full. I try to play a lot of old jaz classics and then try to do this with grip 1,2,3. Plenty to do for the New Year. thanks and all the best.

You are awesome, thank you so much 🙌

Excelente! Eres un gran maestro. Gracias por compartir tu grandioso talento.

Can not believe how awesome your lessons are

I really love the way you teach

obrigado Oliver, por essa super aula, seu canal tem me ajudado muito, suas aulas e sua didática são as melhores, eu só tenho a te agradecer, cada aula é uma faculdade de conhecimentos, um forte abraço

Hello, Oliver: First, congratulation by your subtitles in Spanish. So, a lot of student of Hispanic language they made follow up your splendid lesson as a result of your two principals qualities: 1. Your great, great knowlegment of music theory, mainly harmony, extraordinary piano player, with a graphic design very clear, and a sound editing mastely very helpful... 2. But the best, best of your showing, that made possible your hight teaching, it's undoubtedly, the slowness of your explanations, that give us space for understand each thing at fist time. On the matter, it's frecuently to meet oneself, professors that seem was finish his tobacco and need go down urgent to buy cigarettes. It's treat of "síndrome del estanco" (cigar store syndrome). Greetings and All the Best for Everybody.

This is a great lesson. I helps me so much for the left hand chords,though it takes me a lot of time to master it. Thank you very much Oliver!!

This is superb! Thank you so much for including the compendium. I learn and advance a lot through watching your lessons!

Excellent video!!!! as always. Thank you very much.

Love these chords Oliver,more stuff like this would be cool,thank you much.

Fantastic intro to a fantastic video. I'm gonna watch this vid every day...

Saludos desde Ecuador, 1000 gracias por las lecciones.

great way of explaining - relaxing way of studying! thx Oliver!

Me encantan sus lecciones profesor Oliver porque son verdaderas cátedras;son Oro molido.GRACIAS

Fantastic!!!

Another great lesson.

You, sir, are brilliant. Thanks for the upload.

I am working on this one and having a bit of a hard time at first playing chords that do not have the root in them. Like for example for D7: F# B C E -- 3 6 flat7 9 has no 1 (D) -- has no 5 either so it is very far away from a 1 3 5 triad. Very beautiful though. I know the D is in the bass, but when creating a chord I look to the root first and build from there... 1-3-5-7 ...or an inversion. I know that with the grip system I am not supposed to worry about this, but I do anyways. ;-) I will keep working on it to understand better. One thing that seems true, and obvious I guess: there are many, many chords that could be used for this same bass note progression of: A D G C F# B E. I might try practicing many different chord types over those bass notes to help memorize the possibilities. This lesson is a huge one and thank you for the PDF that goes with it. You are the best! UPDATE: This lesson, using chord arpeggios in the RH, with a more familiar 1357 & inversions pattern, perhaps goes well with this: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bc11rM940KqZmZ8.html ...perhaps playing "normal" chord notes in the RH while playing unusual chord patterns in the LH works well. (...oh, that is one of the videos in the RH playlist kzfaq.info/sun/PLd8gNAxPUcJzqwqL21s9NExEKpk14bglb ) ;-)

Thanks, you are helping a lot , with this beatiful notes.🎶🎼🎵🎹

Thanks so much. i really appreciate the way you slowly go through everything. it allows me to take in more without stopping all the time. really well done my friend..keep it up!!!

You re the best teacher in youtube !!! may i ask u something ? can you make a lesson for giant steps ?

It's a really powerful method 🙏!

For me The best Excercises and Learning Channel for Piano. Thnx for this great way of explaining everything in this Perfect way!

Thanks for the great lesson. Your PDF would be so much more useful if it was in the treble clef. I forgot the bass clef decades ago!

So thankfull for your explenation

Amazingly Beautiful

Отличные уроки! Great tutorials!

Still great in 2022.

Haha, this lesson is so great. Actually after learning the 33 scales and their related 7th chords, I have already tried to these left hand grips to improvise some piece of music. I used right hand to play scales/modes, and my left hand played just these grips. Sometime I added roots, sometime I do completely rootless. It is really fun! Thank you for bringing this up again! -- Bo

You are the best,man! Happy New Year and God bless you!

great...... i love your job master-- thanks a lot.

Thank you!

Thank you for this great lesson !

Did a search for complete music theory and found this channel. Pretty cool. New sub!

Your videos are awesome but if I listen or watch them too late in the day your voice puts me to sleep. That being said your content is a blessing thank. You

Я легко играю подобные переходы левой бас, а правой аккорд. А наоборот даже боюсь . Но надо научиться.. спасибо за прекрасную иллюстрацию!

Fantastico vídeo, Parabéns pelo trabalho

Oui merci beaucoup Pierre pour la traduction :)

....your Great Man....just Great.....

you makes me happy.

This is Bomb !!!

Thank YOU, Thank You, Thank YOU VERY MUCH :) :)

Thanks a lot!!! 🚀

КЛАССНО!!! ХОРОШЁ,ЧТО ЕСТЬ АККОМПАНИМЕНТ- МИНУСОВКА. СПАСИБО!!!

I enjoy your videos very much. Have you done, or could you please do a video on the Diminished/Whole Tone Scale and its uses please? I'm interested in this sound as applied to the Music of Lee Morgan, Jackie McLean et al, from the sixties when this sound came to the fore. I play trumpet, but I play a little piano and find the keyboard an invaluable tool for learning theory and Jazz vocabulary. Your work is a great help!

Got the left down,now how to play whatever scales your using to do those fancy right hand licks,great stuff Oliver.
