Jazz Piano : Tips on Writing a Jazz Piano Song

[PianoAndTrumpetMan96]

how about 2 5 1 progression, 7 chords, poly chords. Wow dude come on.

I'm only 15, but from what I've learned jazz music is more than just "basic" music. If you play it like you do, that should be because you've been sitting behind your piano till 4 AM every day for the last 10 years - because you really know what you're talking about - not because you happen to know what a blue note is and how to play some chords now and then.

EPIC xD

I love how his bio in the description says he break dances and nothing in it says anything about his music studies.

[bassmajor]

haha thats what they use to call "white boy pretend-jazz" :D

[BlueinGreen2]

Notice at about 0.18 he says he gonna play a 'C to F to G' chord progression and then plays an G, C and D.

...this guy's clearly having us on. Shame he's not being funnier in the process.

[Criticalperspective2]

That's plain bullshit.

[mostenmolsen]

He truly is a great break dancer.

[slapmyfunkybass]

sorry, but that just isnt true, the tempo is still implied, if both hands stop anywhere but the natural beat then its still classed as synocpation... however, his playing is so bad i think he's not playing syncopation but merely out of time!

@slapmyfunkybass

check out his "lesson" on 5/4 time!! this guy needs to be removed.

[fortissimoX]

??!!

[jet07son]

that doesnt teach , you just played the piano ////

[jazzflutist]

Isn't that more like a basic blues, than a jazz song. Maybe you could tell us how to design a 32-bar AABA song using basic seventh chords.

[slapmyfunkybass]

yea, he doesnt really tell you anything and the chord progression is a blues... why didnt he teach 5/2/1 progression if its jazz...?

[kalamdani1]

you mean II V I (2/5/1)

[slapmyfunkybass]

@kalamdani1 yea, i did mean 2/5/1

[Jazzman303]
