thanks for the description of the fingering! i learned nothing in lessons & dropped them ages ago (age 14 or 15). as the years went on, i acquired some dexterity on keys just by playing them naively. with a computer keyboard, i can touch-type most of the time and had started to learn in middle school, but never really got anywhere until i started doing my OWN typing for my own writing desires. now i can touch-type. i hope something similar happens w/piano keys, as i pick up some of these tips.
hey ron! nice and easy! for some reason my hand sound still does not match the chromatic scale well, it still sounds off...going to try over and over again
I always thought a scale has at the most 7 notes. But recently I thought,"Why not 8 notes? Or 9?" Then I thought,"Why not all the notes?" I tried 'em all and I noticed it worked. I feel like a dummy never knowing this before but once you think about it, it makes sense.
Hey thanks so much for this video, I wish you could teach me in person, I've tried so many teachers and none have been what I'm looking for... The videos are really helpful, to the point and inspiring. Keep em coming :]
I know what you mean. It would be nice to find one that does more than read dots. My last teacher admitted that she'd never written/improvised, or ever wanted to. Nice.
Thats for this. I have played classical music for 15 years now self taught but never experimented with improv. Recently the last few months i have been learning Rythmic Patterns and open voicing chords for improv and your video reminded me that I can add in chromatic scales! I never even thought about it but thanks for posting it! I really am going to have some fun now.
THANK YOU! This was really helpful for me, I LOVE JAZZ and Bossa too, of course, I'm Brazilian, but I suck at the piano, and this technique is really helpful!
haha most of this was a review (i've been playin since i was 4 and i'm 12 now ;D) but i like how you showed us how to improvise like that. i kinda suck at improvising (welllll ive never tried it before...) and i'm auditioning for a jazz band at school and i haveto know this....im rambling :)
Hey Ron, I'm an advanced player and I never even thought that there was proper fingering for the chromatic scale. Without even practising I have a few ideas of how it will improv how I improvise. Here's question tho.... to what extent should the chromatic scale be used, how do u know when ur using it too much..cause so far for a 2-5-1 progression as u played there I've been just using modes of the major scale.
@otaama There are a number of variables... It depends on the style of music! It has a lot to due with TASTE! You only gain this knowledge through experience!
As you know, when improvising or "comping" behind a soloist, its more important to know what not to play! IF you "hear" music, you'll instinctively know when you're over-using chromaticism in your playing. Alternatively, you can study with me, and I'll guide you accordingly!
oh my god this is the best chromatic lesson ive ever seen. and ive seen a lot! not just for piano either but guitar and stuff too! this really helped thanks a lot man!
wow... at first i thought oh no, where is that going to go...but now i really feel ashamed that i even had that thought... WOW GREAT! Thank you for sharing!
Thakyou very much for puting this up. I've been playing keys for about 15 years but have never played Jazz stuff, this has helped improve my style. Cheers
Thanks! That was a fun tutorial and actually made sense though it won't be as easy as it looks I suspect but great for practice the chromatics once you get the basics.
I actually "mastered" the scale just by jamming with it, but I had to teach it to my little cousin, so I literally memorized your video (lol)! Thank you for this.
I don't know about anybody else but I find playing the Chromatic Scale on the Left hand alot harder than my right. I've always had a lazy left hand when it comes to piano. Though the fingeting you've showed here should prove useful! Thanks!
Also, I loved the several little tunes you played throughout! Especially towards the end lol! You've got alot of skill at the piano!
Very good MrRon :), Its almost like jazzy without a Jazz scale. I mean the first part that u played. Ive been watching some Oscar Peterson and some Duke Ellington and i like how use the easiest Scale to make something great. Good stuff.
This is truly superb!! When I saw the title I thought 'oh man this is goign to be way over my head.. chromatic jazz improvisation', but you explain it very clearly and logically. THANK YOU VERY MUCH :)
At 3:21, it sounded like you could have gone into a G alt lick there and it would have worked a little better than the chromatic stuff, but I know the point of the video is chromatic melodies ;)
I wanted to ask, which do you think real bebop players (if there are any left really) use the most- alt scales or chromatic? I think alts are really great for 2-5's especially minor 2-5's but I've never really thought of using strictly chromatic before. It's cool, good video.
Hi Mr. Ron, u r the coolest piano teacher on the web.
Question: How do you get to the point where you can keep playing tasty licks for many courses? I run out of ideas, or the changes seem to go by too fast and I get lost.
Thanks for the answer Mr Ron. Hmm I thought you're advocating not learning theory and going with the instinct, so I'm a bit confused now. :/
Hmmm I've been trying to learn to play on keyboard on my own since I was a kid but it didn't really work out well lol. Now that I know how to practice (from your videos mostly) I'll just keep doing that. Thanks alot!
Wow Mr. Ron im goin to practice more after watchin your hints/lessons. thats great for amateurs like me i guess. besides what kinda music u like playin? thx for ur videos, much appreciated, God bless you.
mr ron PLEASE HELP ME!!!! what can i do to work on my both hands independence?? colud you make a tutotial with exersices to improve (or crate in my case) that ability?

I remember when my uncle taught me how to play it correctly.
Since I would use 1 2 1 2 1 3 (and so on with the same patter).

Jazzy is the type of piano I like for mellow songs.
I was just wondering if there are any certain chords that have the jazzy sound to it - for both the right and left hands.
So far, I like the Dmaj7 chords, C#maj7 (with b as the 7 note instead of c), the Cmaj7 (both regular and inverted & with b flat as the 7), and an inverted Emaj7.
I really like your voice. I almost feel like I'm betraying my piano teacher for saying so (his voice was also very calming), but I'd love to have lessons with you. I was just explaining to my friend that he reminds me of chromatic scales and this was a result of that simple search. Have a nice day!

MrRon, I have a question. Can I use this scale at any time? Or does it have to be done at a certain progression movement? (i.e. 2 5 1)

There aren't ANY rules regarding the use of the chromatic scale, as such!
But remember, it must be used tastefully!
As Duke Ellington once said, "If it sounds good, it is good!"

It's called learning jazz
Who's got the jazz?
Get yours.
It takes a while to learn left hand comping, so you CAN'T learn it overnight, seahorse.

You know how to talk to an audience. Something many many youtubers do not. Great Work. Good instruction too.

I really like your voice. I almost feel like I'm betraying my piano teacher for saying so (his voice was also very calming), but I'd love to have lessons with you. I was just explaining to my friend that he reminds me of chromatic scales and this was a result of that simple search. Have a nice day!
