By: Mannheim67. on 18 Mar 11, 23:03:01
@MyPassionsss This might help. I started learning the keyboard (using a church organ then, a piano) with barely 10-15 minutes, 3x a? wk & occasionally, I'd have about an hour on wk-ends. Age 15. At age 18, I had an average of 30minutes 4days/wk, & an hour on wk-ends. And, no teacher. I observed: tv, listened to radio, watched pianists, read books. But, every moment w/ the instrument was just an opportunity to become more expressive. It wasn't ever work to me. I had no personal keyboard/piano.

By: bluelampjazz. on 02 Jun 11, 23:45:27
@TheSalesmenBand I beg to differ. I have perfect pitch. Now your point about 440 or 435Hz. For? me, I can tell you when a single not is out of tune, and by how much (not in Hz, just aurally lol). So to me, I hear a difference when its 440 or 435. Nether is wrong if it is Intended to sound as it does. some pianos are tuned different anyway ie. a Db sounds like C. However, Skybart Is talking shit. I can both hear the notes at "Natural" pitch and imagine what it would sound like with no sound.

By: drone713. on 25 Apr 11, 08:42:58
@skybart What the fuck? You have perfect pitch? but you can't transpose? If you had perfect pitch, why would you even be searching youtube videos to "learn something?" You have no idea what perfect pitch even means. Fucking idiot.

@TheSalesmenBand ...
By: colourfulwithaU. on 11 Apr 11, 01:07:09
@TheSalesmenBand You are wrong - perfect pitch does exist. I know a guy who has it, and I have tested him on it, comparing Baroque tunings and modern tunings and asking what note this is and whatnot, and? beyond a shadow of a doubt, he has it. *I* have relative pitch. *Most* musicians have relative pitch. Perfect pitch is *rare* but it exists.

By: 4thKyuubi. on 31 Mar 11, 07:25:07
Hello, Im trying to learn jazz chords, and i am an absolute beginner in jazz music. I just began recently, what kind of excercises would you recommend to get used to some jazz chords? These videos are awesome! Ive tried to implement some jazz chords? into a song the other day, Cm(major 7) etc. but I keep going back to just basic chords naturally. I want to play more chords with a different tune, not just the same ones over and over again.

By: JTylerBentley. on 15 Mar 11, 03:31:23
@skybart Keep in mind I only have relative pitch, but I would imagine that even though you have perfect pitch, you could still derive some use for this video. It could not possibly be that hard to transpose? what you are hearing to match what you are seeing. If you can't do that, just stop looking at the stinking video and listen. Jeez.

By: LanceChui. on 02 Oct 10, 03:36:41
@TheSalesmenBand Actually, it's possible to identify even the frequency for those who have perfect pitch. And perfect (or absolute pitch)? pitch means that one is able to tell without any reference at all! But I agree that the other comment made by skybart was extremely uncalled for!

importantly though, in jazz, if you see written Gm11, you are completely free to play Gm13, Gm7, Gm9 or whatever you feel sounds best in that context, even G7 or GM7 if you prefer. thus is? the beauty of jazz, the freedom to add personality

By: tiktak87. on 31 Aug 10, 23:34:51
@tiktak87 the C being the third, and as it is a "sus" chord we must suspend the third. also, in terms of higher extensions, in general if 9 or 11 or 13 is used instead of 2, 4 or 6, it generally means you are to include the 7th and/or any other extensions beneath it. Eg. c major 6 is usually an instruction to play JUST the root, 3rd, 5th and 6th or any combination of, whereas C major 13 implies that it is acceptable to play any the extensions of lesser value than 13 ie. the 7th, 9th or 11th.?

the way chords are ...

the way chords are notated sometimes is a clue to how they should be voiced too though. a rough guide could be: "sus" means you are SUSPENDING? the third of the chord, either to the 4th or the second, hence sus2/sus4. If the chord says add9, it means include the third, the ninth (second) is added, it is not a suspended third. any chord that also says m7 or M7 or 7, include the relevant 7th as well. for instance Am7 (sus4) mean play an a minor including the seventh, but change any C notes to D

By: tomichaubg. on 04 Jan 10, 14:58:18
I completely agree, and you really should use "ehm" less and at some point you were like "ehm, you could use this (chord)? or this (chord), really, a lot of variants..." and I didn't get anything you played :) Try explaining note by note... But from what I got, good stuff, thanks a lot, it really helped. Five stars!

By: MusicGuru12. on 13 Apr 09, 09:20:22
Usually with a thirteenth chord you would play: 7th - 3rd - 13th The root can be played in the left hand. You can add a ninth in as well,? so it would be: 7th - 9th - 3rd - 13th So in the key of G the chord would be: F (7th) - A (9th) - B (3rd) - E (13th) Hope this helps

You can play as ...
By: kinigit. on 09 Apr 09, 18:23:15
You can play as many notes as your fingers will allow (so 10 I guess would be your limit). In jazz, once you start adding those? tones on to the chord, the 5th becomes less important. The root, 3rd, and 7th define the chord quality (usually), then you can add pitches on top. If you had to choose between the 9th and 11th for an 11th chord, then you would need to choose the 11th. It kind of comes down to personal preference of the sound you want!

Thanx! I do have ...
By: greytarist. on 09 Apr 09, 18:04:03
Thanx! I do have another question .. in order to play a dominant 11th chord you need? the 1, 3, 5, b7, 9, and 11, right? or can u omit the 9th?

That is not much of ...
By: kinigit. on 08 Apr 09, 22:57:29
That is not much of a chord without a 3rd. The 3rd defines the? quality of the chord. You have to have the third, except for a sus chord. Your chord doubles the root, which is unnecessary; substitute an E for the C in the right hand. If it had a 3rd and 9th, it would be a dominant 9 chord (C9) If it didn't have the 7th, it would be C add9. I would try to keep the highest number voiced on the top. Good questions! If anyone disagrees, let me know.

By: kinigit. on 08 Apr 09, 22:36:03
I know what you are talking? about, and I know you know what you are talking about, but I'm not so sure that some students would be able to keep up. Consider breaking things down further, move a bit slower, and maybe move that camera so that it's overhead. Just some thoughts from a young band director. Sounds good, though!

(sorry, I'm trying to learn the right rules for some of this confusing music theory stuff) what would I call LH- C, Bb RH- C, D, G? ..? would it be a "sus9" since It doesn't have a third? and if it did have a third would it be a "9"? And if it had a third but no 7 would it be an "add9"?

You are kind of ...
By: MusicGuru12. on 09 Mar 09, 00:13:15
You are kind of right. An add2/sus2 chord does become a 9th chord when the 7th is added. It depends on whether you have the third or not. It does matter? where the note is placed. If the sixth of a C chord was placed under the leading note of the scale (B natural), it would be called a 6th. If it was above the octave, or above the 7th, it would be a 13th. Same with 4ths and 11ths.

By: greytarist. on 08 Mar 09, 21:13:51
he said "any note above the octave" is where 9ths, 11th, and 13ths, ect ... come from. But? isn't it the "7th" that makes a normal add2 chord into a 9 chord? It shouldn't matter "where" the note is in the chord. Am I right?

By: joeseaocean. on 05 Mar 09, 03:39:28
Good Video, but this song is typically played in A minor. For people trying to build a jazz repertoire: If you are at a jam session and someone calls "Autumn? Leaves" they will be expecting the key of A minor.

Great video! I'm an intermediate trumpet? player and am presently working on "Autumn Leaves," so thanks. But the flatted 13th sounded a bit jarring. I thought that was a 'no, no,' but maybe I just don't have the ears for it yet. It would certainly work as a passing tone, but standing alone? Hey, I'm still a beginner. This was very helpful. Have you made a vid on pentatonics? That would be very helpful! Thanks for your efforts.

I for one have learned some interesting things from this and other passages by Mr Dial - and I'm a guitarist - so thanks for posting. As I see it, the teacher has clearly pointed out the need to be aware? of randomly introducing accents at musically inappropriate moments and with undue emphasis as a kind of nerveous tic. I am now aware of that temptation and so is his pupil. In any case, the onus is now on the student (and me) to learn, not on the teacher to labour a point, at least in my view.

Enry, If you are afraid that your creativity can be "killed" you might be looking at things the wrong way. You can learn something from every situation you are in, whether or not you like the teacher's style. I've studied with Garry Dial and it has raised the bar on the level of my own creative output? significantly. Don't be afraid to take a leap! As for promoting himself, he doesn't need to.

By: EnryOnTheKeys. on 18 Jan 09, 17:09:55
Honey run away from this guy. He just killing your creativity. He is trying to promote himself instead of pass passion for the music. Listen as much as you can to the masters of the jazz that you? will get the feeling.

By: mrpossibilities. on 04 May 08, 07:17:56

By: Sbeedbull. on 18 Apr 08, 03:07:59

By: ObeeLektro. on 17 Apr 08, 23:43:45
Can't support the argument so now we resort to violence. That is why the unaware students who cant distinguish a good teacher from a bad one linger on in their ignorance never able to emerge with their own potentials and talents. This is why your comment is how Gary had emerged as a legendary pianist,? but what does that have to do with the art of teaching. Cheers :)

By: Sbeedbull. on 16 Apr 08, 16:47:24
Garry? Dial came up through the ranks of lengendary jazz lineage holders Red Rodney and Ira Sullivan, as the piano player in their band for 13 years. Screw up with those guys, you might get punched in the face. These days we all need "nurturing guidance" when we might benefit more from a kick in the pants.

The fundamental ...
By: ObeeLektro. on 17 Mar 08, 08:20:54
The fundamental problem does not lie in pointing the problem? That is not what my criticism was. My criticism comes to the lack of explanation by the teacher, how to over come the problem. Any experienced musician can point out whats wrong, but? not necessarily communicate successfully how to overcome the problem. Read my first comments. If you can show me his guidance on this footage, you won. this is why the student is trying to figure out on the spot by her self how to overcome the problem ;)

You didn't answer ...
By: jhan303. on 14 Mar 08, 22:05:26
You didn't answer my question. You said he's pointing out ONE aspect of her problem. What other aspects is he missing? She's clearly an average player, and I agree with Gary's assessment that her problem is her "turrets? (sp?)". I don't think that I'm making a clever observation, just a simple one. the third perf may be dull, but it's natural. Emotion will come in time, WHILE she's rooted in a more feeling oriented, deliberate and natural approach. And no, Gary's not paying me :)

By: ObeeLektro. on 13 Mar 08, 19:16:17
Precisely see I took you for a spin like you did your self claiming with pro pastures ideas that her playing improved by the third time by being more thoughtful. Thats the folly with clever rationalizing, with some skill a lot of things can be cleverly explained away. Anybody that listens intuitively will hear that her playing does not sound thoughtful. Is this guy paying you to defend this nonsense :) At lease your argumentations hold stronger grounds than the? other persons attacks, Cheers.

By: jhan303. on 12 Mar 08, 11:50:08
What obstacle is causing her struggle in the first perf? She's very good apart from how unnatural her dynamics and jerkiness are,? which is why he pointed it out. What other aspects of that problem did he miss?

By: ObeeLektro. on 12 Mar 08, 10:38:57
First time the lady sounds most spontaneous full of energy the struggle comes from her obstacles, the dynamics do not feel right yet all this? gentleman is doing is pointing out one aspect of a problem and in a settle way pokes fun at her playing. Where is the nurturing guidance with practical clear pointers for the student to over come the problem?

No offense, but you ...
By: jhan303. on 07 Mar 08, 17:52:55
No offense, but you REALLY missed the point. He's not telling her to stop accenting altogether. He's telling her to stop being so jerky about it. OP and Herbie's accents are always in just the right spot, because they feel them. She is just spitting out random accents with no feeling. And as for the sax comparison, he didn't once say "retrospect". He's merely comparing to an instrument that draws feeling out of a player's? body, easier than piano does. Thus, pianists have to focus on thatl.

The first ...
By: jhan303. on 07 Mar 08, 17:48:15
The first performance does have more energy in it. But it's forced. Apart from the first few chords, everything sounds more like an exercise. There are more dynamics than the third performance, but those dynamics don't feel natural. It's almost as if you can hear the inner monologue in her head, telling her what she should play. In the 3rd performance, she? relaxes, waits for each note to present itself, and plays them when she truly feels them, or at least, is trying to do that.
