Misty - Jazz piano lesson

[msgrog]

Just soooo nice!

[IntoTech1]

Absolutely superb. Lost count of the number of times I've listened to this rendition. What a beautiful ending.

[PatchworkJazz]

Lovely re-harmonizations!

Check out our version of Misty on our channel!

[TheScarletSonata]

Eh...

And Misty is swung just for the record, it kind of bugs me when people play it straight.

[profjair]

Wonderful!!!!!!Hugs.



[estorbajop]

Very nice!

[ramboIII3]

The video is called " JAZZ PIANO LESSON " I guess the definition of lesson has changed lately.

[doob10163]

@ramboIII3 There is much to learn from this lesson!

[NappturallyU]

EXCELLENT!!!! i love erroll Garner style of playing and if i didnt see ur hands playing this i would have thought it was Erroll himself! great job!

[jafman8]

This is the only tutorial Ive seen showing all 3: you playing, the notes you hit and the music sheet (and memos). Brilliant!

[waldofuentealba]

muy lindos matices !!!!

[robertooo6100]

[bryceep]

This is great stuff, though I only understand about 1/3 of it, I'm a beginner. Any simpler arrangements/explanations?

[jazzpianist2011]

Very nice arrangement for trio however I play solo piano so I have to employ deeper base lines.

[vendettabigband]

Just checkin' out some of your videos and saying hello!

[MrRealJazz]

Transcription link? In vid description it says there's a printable transcription on your site but I cannot find the right link.

Thanks,

MrRealJazz

[pr9southdeport7]

I wish youtube has controls for "slow motion" replay. Your videos are VERY VERY HELPFUL to me.

[lucasnovel]

[TalPlayPiano]

EXCELLENT !

[skybart]

Can anyone tell me what this piece is called? I've heard it often as background to various videos.. watch?v=6VfFKNCxu5U

[rockabillycat1954]

@skybart it's called "misty"... it's in the title of the video

[skybart]

@rockabillycat1954 Please read my complete question and try again....I mean the COMPLETE question..

[rockabillycat1954]

@skybart it may be a different arrangement on "sunny side of the street", or someone may have just done kind of a generic jazz piano thing (not necessarily any particular song, just bits and pieces from other songs)

[skybart]

@rockabillycat1954 Ok, thanks-- I'll look at "Sunny Side" and see if that could be the tune :)

[PastMilleniumMan]

Great playing!

I heard many people playing Bach or Beethoven or Chopin. Whoever was playing it never felt as natural as jazz improvisation. I was always wondering how do you people think of music, especially jazz music. Do you memorize all those chords and um... "compute" those voicings and chord transitions when you're playing? If so, how do you make it so smooth and natural, how do you make it feel like a flow, like it's streaming out of you?

Thanks for the mood you've made!

[MrAtlantajazz]

Love your mellow sound. All on the same page musically. Love it when it all comes together like this.

[Gfromdastreet]

Would be nice if you coul make the video HD

[KareemByEar1Year]

You have taught me a lot about giving...I will follow your example....Oh! and your music is outstandingly good!

[ashleylynnjoan]

Your playing put me at peace. Thank you for that; it had been a rough day until I stumbled upon your video.

[Bemolslide]

excelent i love to play misty in Ebm7 just like you =D

[cielle4vr]

i don't... understand. sure, my knowledge of jazz music is downright pitiful, but how is this song so SERENE AND PEACEFUL AND DIVINE??? more like, how do YOU play it that way???

[1979saxman]

The first chord on Misty is a tritone, right? I figured as much since it's reharmonized as a slash chord Eb with a D in the bass. Could you also just play whole tone harmony when you see these types of slash chords?

[jazz2511]

@1979saxman The first chord is a D with an Eb in the bass. Another way of describing it would be an Eb diminished chord. It acts to sort of create a tension that is released when the EbMaj7 arrives. An Eb whole/half diminished scale sit nicely over this chord - see 0:35

[jazzpianist2011]

@jazz2511 This is suggestion of a Bb alt. chord rather than a Eb dim since the Eb dim would have to have a Db note in it and this is a natural D not a Db and is more of a augmented sound rather than a dim sound. Two major differences between aug sound and dim sound. It is common in Jazz resolving from V7 or V alt to the tonic I Maj7+5 or I maj7 mixing the embellishements. Very good choice to start the song though! and can end the same way as well, to remain unresolved!! :)

[JeffreyMiddelveld]

@1979saxman

- You can also call it a Ebmi/maj7 (#11) with the maj7 (D) in the bass.

You play the 1/5 with your left hand, and the mi3/(#11)/maj7 with your right hand.

That's what makes the chord a mi/maj.

[AirStyle120]

IM-PRESSIVE!

[Roguer24]

I used to listen to my grandfather play this all the time. Brings back great memories. Thank you...Very well done!

[audreypianiste]

Very nice !

I would like the sheet music. It is possible to send it to me ?

Thank you very much

[davetaylorbluespiano]

[sexysniper232]

PWNED!

[TalPlayPiano]

Génial !

Une excellente version de Misty, certainement la meilleure de toutes...

Chantal

[muzikalmaestro]

great stuff!!! i am learning jazz too, and this video does a great job of teaching by the way everything is combined: the chords, individual notes, and sound of bass in background... wow!

[kykou83]

Exceptionnel !!!

La meilleure version de Misty !!!

Comment trouver la partition ? (celle qui défile n'est pas toujours lisible)

Merci pour cet émerveillement !

Chantal

[kykou83]

Exceptionnel !!!

[squoocher]

buy his dvd, really worth it!! great value

[claitontesch]

WONDERFUL

[Edmar41251]

excellent lesson in jazz very well prepared, high harmonic content and spiritual!!!

[pepitomorales1]

Verdaderamente Fabuloso! Saludos desde Veracruz, México! Pepito Morales!

[ffour]

when pple play jazz like this , do they play strictly according to note values? i am classical trained, and note values are so important, but i'm so weak at counting beats, will jazz be easier for pple like me? it seems like u just play as u like it.

[fjbn820]

@ffour

Depends on what you mean by this. I mean, for me, I play according to the note values I hear in my head as I improvise. If you mean play the notes by what's on the page, then no.

Best thing for you to do if you're new at this is listen! There are a lot of great artists and music out there, so expose your ear and get a feel for it!

[musicfanBRA]

@ffour- I'm just a music lover, not a musician, but I think that to play jazz you need to gain a sense of freedom and individual creativity. (Sth. that a classical background can hardly give you.) Just sit on the piano and let you soul flow... if you are blessed with the gift of music something beautiful will come out of it. Also, listen to the great jazz pianists like Teddy Wilson, Oscar Peterson, Art Tatum, and get inspired. Cheers.

[blueronnierocket]

Beautiful:)

[sundaeflow]

amazing.........really amazing!

[dantz75]

i want to learn the runs

[unclevincentus]

This is worth gold, awesome

[saybelleful]

so lovely......whats your nationality?.......

[litajekobsone]

wow thats great ;)

[imtheguvnor]

I've been playing for about 6 months.

I noticed your hands...and that a lot of other good keyboard players don't have long fingers.

My hands are like small frying pan's with very long fingers.

Do you think this will be a disadvantage with learning piano??

But seriously "Bravo". This is where sweet music starts and finishes.

If I ever get to play to this standard, I'll die a happy man

This is me ¦ ¬ ) Dead Happy

[Acoustica1995]

this it really amazing especially how i was able to learn some parts of this peace because of the piano chart showing the chords, thank you!

[conombnm]

Brilliant..just exquisite.

[organham]

This is not fair!!! Listen to that bass,when you are playing the piano where do you find a guy like that?That is the reason I switched to a Hammond Organ, we have our own bass!!!

[Alexmg123]

Doug, I keep enjoying the lovely major chord endings on these standards. They're lovely

[Keygarapture]

lovely

[planktonite]

Wow! Could listen for hours!

[PSPGENIUS714]

Awesome.

[bhebrews1214]

great job bro keep bringing it!

[SalMessina1]

Fantastico !

Grazie

Sal

[Keygarapture]

A true craftsman!

[claitontesch]

beautiful!!!!!!!

[reclusivesage]

What software do you need to make that "Real Book" style sheet music? I've seen a lot of things with the same font, but I don't know what to look for.

[FliegendeHollaender]

have you memorised out the left hand and you improvise on the right one?

[vivasavonarola]

great job jazz2511. Infinite thanks for this but the scores are not very clear .Only in "Autumn leaves" are ok.Thank You very much.

[imnotbuddha]

Well done. Be proud.

[mahart007]

Beautiful. Relaxing & Smooth to the mind, body and soul... Love it !!! Play over and over again.... Awesome!!!

[lkungfu]

this is incredible... super job1

[sunlightforeveryone]

great!! 5 000 stars for this! wished I had a pianoplayer to play this way for me to sing along. :(

[liubita1959]

you are simply great !!! thanks a lot !!!

[purobochinche]

Excelente interpretacion.... lo felicito

[Jigov]

all you have to do is typ Erroll Garner in the bar few lines up, than find the authentic version(how he plays it) and enjoy your new musical life.

[AlyHarrizon]

omg this is awesome

[mikhar1]

Wow dont think i will ever get to that level,

terrific stuff.

[boswell255]

I thought that way about 6 months ago, but with enough practice I'm able to play pieces like this now. Still a looong way off getting my head around the theory and improvisation techniques though :P

Don't give up, and keep watchin vids like these. You'll get there

[mikhar1]

Thanks boswell255 for your encouraging words

[ryanbbkssss]

我太愛你ㄌ

[jazzpiano01]

I have heard so many versions of this song and yours is absolutely the best. Its so smooth and relaxing. Please keep making these videos.

[horatiuroman]

@jazzpiano01 check out an incredibly different version of misty played by richard groove holmes. you would never think this piece could be played that way! and tell me you didn't like that one just as much as this.

[jazzpiano01]

@horatiuroman You are right. I liked his version very much. His take on it is very lively. As a jazz piano player myself i tend to play more ballads and classic jazz standards. I like that laid back type of feel when i play. But don't get me wrong i love hearing new versions of the same song. there are so many ways that one can interoperate a song. It is refreshing to hear new artists and their take on pieces. Thanks for sharing.

[DMANANI]

So Nice !!!!!!!

[jerrygeorge2]

wow, I wish I had you to accompany me

I am planning to sing misty

You are great

Jerry sings guilty

[ToliKwoli]

Very well played,,,,,,,so sensual and romantic!!

[pookiecatblue]

soooo sooo beautiful!

[goldenorry]

damnn my ears are loving this

[Skyblueginger]

yes brilliant and well played. Especially liked that bit at the end when you run down the b major scale with the parrallel structures. Can you explain where they are borrowed from and if these is just the scale to hamonize that trick over a bflat 7 chord?? Thanks

[rgarza0109]

One of the best"s misty,.....

[jaressloo]

this is a great tutorial! thanks for posting it!

[superjam18]

What are the lyrics to this song?

[beverleye]

just google misty , see what comes up. it is a beautiful piece of music isn't it -best wishes

[101Licious]

Damn, i wish i could play like you!! Very good. I luv it. 5*

[matdarecki]

MeTaCo, fully agree with you.. It's so chill'outing.. he has so great feeling.. and at the same moment he's so precisious..

[MeTaCo]

this is beautiful.. something i wanna listen to, just to relax before I fall asleep!

[MuzikMichael]

The software could be Band -In-A-Box,great software i had two versions of it.

[luvemliam]

I don't know who you are, but you are incredible. I love to hear this version. I play this song all the time, but nothing like this. : ) Thanks for posting!

[nmo1127]

Great ending!

[bcmrcool]

wow I love this

[mattdarday1993]

Doug you have helped my playing so much. That's why it was easy to subscribe to you. Thanks and cheers.

[Junkyty]

great job!! what software are u using for the notation and stuff??

[HomerJaySimpsonRulez]

oh my god. awesome !!! it's brilliant !!!

[MelodiusThud]

Nice playing, Doug! I really like the way you've highlighted the notes on the arrangement as they go by. I'm curious if you can point me to some way of understanding that so that I might use it as well. Nice playing, and nice presentation.

[choybern]

hey, the music's wonderful; could i have the score? where can I find or download it?

[jazz2511]

There is a copy of the transcription and the bass and drums backing track at my website (click on 'more info' above right) On my DVD there is a solo version of this - video and transcription. Details are at my website.

[eldrindgo]

mahn your a god.. :D

[kamerius]

Very Groovy!!! Maaan, I'm gonna eat you.

[221BB]

OMG simply the best I've heard I love Jazz Music!!!

[shankpeterman]

great content and chord subs! I love the D/Eb at the beginning.

[Dragonfist111]

Very classy, my man. Very classy.

[ACVent]

marvy

fab

& far out

this is classy, REAL jazz

[freddy7700]

Can't get enough of your music. Simply THE BEST!

No one performs like you. Thanx so much. Love you bud.

[fum8ma2]

Very nice, my compliments!

[skenehc]

this is JAZZ!!!

[claitontesch]

superb!!!!!!!

[pianomike1]

Doug, can't help finding your style and music simply the best of those youtubers who grace us with their contributions to make the world a better place. Exactly the amounts of tidbit ornaments it takes and the calm and spirit of those tunes is caught best by you.

[samuso86]

cool, i like the technology lol how did you do it? is there special software you use? wouldnt mind posting a few things in a similar way. Thanks!

[lemuro3000]

WOW!! that is what I was looking for!! Thank you so much.

[KAMMOCK]

Cool- good idea

[Burnsomatic]

Beautiful playing, beautiful arrangement!

Thank you for posting with the written music.

[fingerscarr]

well that one got through so shall try again! after plaudits i said that if i could play it as well i'd leave out the wobbles (D F# A D)at seconds 3-5 and the tap tap tap on high C at seconds 7-9 and elsewhere ! they are hackneyed. a simple filled octave would sound fuller and maintain the resonance.but that's only me !

sorry for the acerbity of my prior comment but have noticed with annoyance that some will not accept critical postings and these get censored into the ether! a bit weak !

[fingerscarr]

why did my critical comment made a few mins ago not get poasted . do subscribers want empty commentsw only such as 'genius ' or 'aaawsome ' ! ! !

[WilleH1]

the link doesn't work.

[wangmyan]

Thanks so much will go and look at it. I have the sheets two types but does not have it the way it is in yours. Thanks again.

[wangmyan]

Can i have the notes seen in this video? Thanks

[jazz2511]

Go to the site mentioned above right - under 'more info' - and you can download it.

[Nelluzzo1983]

GRANDIOSO!!!!!

[Lisabonelady]

That was fabulous and you have taught me so much.... Thank you.

[jacusti]

it's really helpful that you included the backing track on your site. thanks!!!

[PianoTango]

Excellent!!!

[zimmermann10]

GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[keymanmuso]

I kinda like his style.

[BrendaJoi]

I really enjoyed this -- thank you.

[nezkeys79]

this guy must be old lol

[pianossimo]

yeah, he is lol

[nezkeys79]

lol. yeah the amount of stuff he knows is crazy

[kegboyman]

alrite never mind...

[kegboyman]

what key is yours in? the version i know is in E flat but those chord progressions don't look right for that key.. i can't see the key signature (bad quality)

[zimmermann10]

I think that you are a kind of Genius

[nezkeys79]

yeah he is but I think his notation program is crap

[pianossimo]

no mate, i dont think it is crap, i have got the same programme, but i dont know how to use it properly, he knows how to use it, thats why he is soo good. I wish he was my teacher, lol

[nezkeys79]

Well every time i watch his videos what I am seeing never quite matches what I am hearing. Sometimes its just blatantly wrong.

[VIT83]

Great song , Great version...

[sidthinker]

wow, great teaching idea. Kind of a combination of Jamie Abersol and Lee Evans plus some. I like the approach of the theory explanations, views of the hands in real life, the written arrangement, and the chart...nice combo...saves years of study, literally. However, would be nice to have a solo piano version which incorporated a piano bass line, and then maybe even some different styles of the same toon...bossa etc...showing different timings etc. I want to teach piano in short ways.

[EdoardoElisei]

You are a great teacher, all is clear and easy to understand. Greetings from italy.

[Futumch]

Even though I'm not using this for piano improv, it makes great listening as well as a great Abersold-type backing from trumpet practice!

[w3sb]

favourites!

[maxwell6t9]

hey my names misty lol :D i like this haha

[desertlight]

Working on this one for a gig in two weeks. It is the nuances that you're playing that turns gold tunes into platinum. It's music alchemy!

[Madra93]

Fantastic ! Particularly for people like me

who have difficulties to read a partition but can imitate what they see.

Thanks for that precious idea.

[EdwardEilert]

Thank you Doug! Your Misty is just wonderful

[ozibru]

If one day I get to play like you do now, i'll be the happiest man on earth!! Amazing!

[mccuk1]

You know what would be really great... Michelle Benjamin doing a version of this with doug!

[MarkieV101]

Amazing and epic.

[jsmrg]

I like this arrangement, not too flashy or extravagant, right where it should be. This reflects the misty mood.

[Skopjess]

would all these songs still sound good without the backing track ?

[lobextomy]

this arrangement would sound ok without a backing track, but needs a few more bass notes in it to make it a really good solo piano

[4wheeljive]

...now all I have to do is learn how to play that...very nice thanks
