McCoy Tyner Style Slow Blues Tutorial

[psicolor]

Very useful!

[Zichous]

Thanks a lot for showing this piece. It is the first time in the past few years my chord voicing is developing somewhere. Hopefuly it is somewhere good :)

[JurasPriest]

Hey Roger, great vid!

Could you please tell me the G7 13 #9 Turnaround step-by-step? I can't manage to stop at every single position with my netbook... That would be really helpful to me!

Keep uploading all this jazz, you are a great teacher!

[richardd2063]

Wow, what a great tutorial, well done and NICE playing

[OscarTatum]

Do you know

youtube.com/user/rkjp56 ?

[ckdub2]

that's not a D major pentatonic over the F minor.....that's an A major pentatonic over the F minor.....don't try to confuse me more than I already am....LOL!

[Lot2learn]

@ckdub2 Ha Ha! Thanks for the correction, you're right! ;-)

[ckdub2]

@Lot2learn no problem.... this clip has enhanced my improv approach a great deal.....its amazing that by simply applying C min7, F7, and Gmin7 arpeggio patterns over a Cmin chord [or C pedal] I can sound remotely like McCoy!

[granthunt]

yesssssssss

[scoobydoo520]

Sei veramente bravo, complimenti !

[danieljones013]

At 3:25 he is speaking of Melodic and rythmic sequencing, which is the classical name for it. But in Jazz we just call it repition. HOW: Basically, you take a phrase or motive and repeat it, or repeat it at a higher pitch, or repeat it up a half step {good transition to going outside}, or repeat the same rythmn with diferent notes, or repeat the same notes with a different rythmn. WHEN: when you play a phrase thats interesting, or the crowd enjoys repeat it!

[247Joy]

Incredible playing!

Really useful after marvelling over McCoy's playing for years!

[tevlock]

Amazing. The best instruction I've seen. Thanks for posting.

[claitontesch]

here I am again!!!!!

[tomichaubg]

I love McCoy, gonna hear him tonight, if I get a ticket (Novi Sad Jazz Festival, Serbia), if not, I hope he will cool enough to attend the jam session after the concert. Anyway, lot2learn, great videos, you're a lot of help, I am mostly classically trained, but good with harmony, so I hope to catch up soon.

[GuzmanLE]

damn good!!

[Lot2learn]

Thank you.

[OscarTatum]

@Lot2learn I have the same pleasure to listen to you Roger, each time I come. You 've this little acid taste I love. Sticking tonal, but leaving it just when it needs, not too much, like lemon on a fish:)

[Lot2learn]

@OscarTatum Merci! ;-)

[ebutuoybdr]

Thank you so much!

[Lot2learn]

Thanks for your comment.

[hammondlove]

is there a method to harmonize a scale with so wath chords? tnx!

[dudibritojazz]

Roger. Muito obrigado, você é um sábio, pois é grande pianista e compartilha. Grande alma você tem!

[Lot2learn]

Thanks for the comment.

[brambau]

@Lot2learn

If the harmony is oriented towards sus chord 4ths why is the melody pentatonic oriented?

Does McCoy sometimes used a more 4ths oriented melodic line sometimes or mainly pentatonic sequences? thanks

[brambau]

@Lot2learn pt 2

If he's using pentatonic sequences for melody what about using a sequence of the blues scale with the one note extra added. Would that sound good here or in your opinion perhaps corny for this type of piece?

[aeflint]

fantastic. If you're ever in Yorkshire I owe you a pint!

[Lot2learn]

Thanks for your comment.

[Modes9]

Make mine a Samuel Smith Taddy Porter!

[DavidAKZ]

Jack Daniels for me :-)

[maraja21]

god bless you. You really help me more than all books. pls never stop to do that for us....

[Lot2learn]

Thanks for your comment.

[Skyblueginger]

Once again a big thanks Mr Friedman. Love the way those sixteenths fire out. Think I should be exploring those in the pentatonic dept. Thanks again for sharing. This is possibly the best use of hours online I think there is. Well I'm still waiting for the 6ft Russian wife to turn up. Peace

[shanghainickusa]

Thanks. This is the best inside to Tyner's style I have seen. I can actually hear inside his riffs now. I did download from your site. Your very generous.

[Lot2learn]

I appreciate your comment.

[claitontesch]

here I am to learn more

[LukeysBB]

Many congratulations for your videos Mr. Friedman! Really helpful! Nice piano sound too... is that from FP-4 or Pianoteq? Thanks again for sharing your knowledge!

[Lot2learn]

Grazie! That is the FP-4 set to high sensitivity for touch response - it helps prevent too much triggering of the loudest sample when I play with the attack that this style demands.

[LDSsounz]

Great work. I'm as curious as abath07. How were the backing tracks done?

[Lot2learn]

Thanks. Band in a Box.

[bonsalpepper]

Wow, that's completely awesome... not only as a tutorial, but just to listen to!

[Lot2learn]

Thanks for the comment.

[FRAT99Po]

This is tremendously helpful

[creativecommunitynet]

what a great way to get young people excited about jazz piano. Thanks

[EverythingPiano]

Awesome! So glad you guys are working together I always do better with more analysis, great stuff

[chadbull]

Roger F. does it again.

[Lot2learn]

Thanks NY_Keys. ;-)

[abath07]

An excellent master class! How were the backing tracks done?

[JC10255]

Awesome tutorial Roger! You nailed it. Yet another one of your videos that I am going to have to pause about a thousand times to figure out what youre doin! *****

[Lot2learn]

Thanks Jason!

[israelsprince]

I want to play like this when I grow up! Real nice, man.

[Lot2learn]

Thank you.

[robertojimenez204]

Keep on the good work man.....thanks a lot from all of us jazz lovers, you are a real ear opener!

[Lot2learn]

Thanks for the comment.

[grayconv]

What a great video, man you never disappoint! i learned alot!

[jazz2511]

Roger - I really envy your ability to play so fluently and logically in this style. Your lines really 'go somewhere' - so musical over a very limited number of chord/key changes. I'll be studying this very closely!

[Darcity1]

Man you slam!! I told you a while ago, you don't have a "lot2learn" ! LOL!

[youngbluenote]

nice!

[korgtri]

Blues? Jazz? I don't know but I do know you do it so well. Great work

[PianistaItaliano]
