Art Tatum´s lessons (descending pentatonic scales)

[waevans56]

Some of the best piano lessons I have gotten have been on youtube. Thank you for the great insight into the Art Tatum and stride piano styles!

[johanneskersthold]

that is a nice secret.

[rillloudmother]

i like the art tatum / mccoy tyney connection! it shows how the same material can be utilized in very different ways and shows the evolution of pentatonic scales in jazz.

[mkrznar]

mister, your lessons are great! great playing!

[GENERALWARMACHINE]

does somebody know what's the notes for the bassline?

[Ken2Kanzeon]

this is very very nice and helpful of you :) i'm so glad you're so generous with your knowledge~ thanks so much~!

[EVPK]

what exactly is he playing when hes showing how mccoy would play it??

[homePicShow]

@EVPK

looks like he's playing the exact same notes, just a different pattern

[JazzBrother88]

No, it's the same thing on his right hand. The trick is in the left hand, where he's playing fourth chords. McCoy used a lot of pentatonic scales with sus7 chords.

Try a D minor pentatonic on the right hand against a Csus7 chord and you'll get the effect.

[hegmat]

What does he play in the bass?

[nitekatt2007]

Dick, you are THE BEST! I dig these videos man. I have several of your standards books and articles you wrote for various music mags that featured piano jazz techniques. It's great the way you play the examples in real time and them break them down in sections and get the proper fingerings together. THANKS AGAIN!!

[Skyblueginger]

Yeah this is defective like that spelling. Can we see it properly please Dick?

[fueyazo]

I don´t know what´s happening, I´ve posted this video three years ago and I always thought that it worked just fine.

-I don´t have the original any more to re upload it: (-

[robertmazzo]

Mr. Hyman: would you also be willing to give a lessons on left hand movement for stride piano styles ? Very sincerely, Bob Mazzo

[EverythingPiano]

Dick Hyman is the man, he knows whats really up

[CleverDjembe]

I always though that if you changed the letter a in his last name to e, there would be no dirtier name.

[ClearReception]

Thanks for the upload =D

[thelightsareglass]

Your videos are EXACTLY what I was looking for! You break it down very well ! !

[alexwindsormusic]

[ferdievanassche]

Great lessons, thanks a lot !

[JimminyJimmy]

Thanks so much for this informative study. I am a jazz pianist and coach myself, and currently have students working on stride, with emphasis on Tatum, Waller, and Johnson. Love that you took the time to post this. Blessings Jimmy Jazz

[sibits]

Thanks fueyazo, for posting this. So much to learn, but with posts like this, from the great Dick Hyman at that, the process isn't as daunting. Step by step, everyting is possible. Thanks Mr. Hyman.

[nealho]

Outstanding, but still not as defined as Tatum.

[FishingtonBurpPuzzle]

i wish I could take lessons with you, man.

[utubr321]

Thank you for the video! BTW I've learned from these couple of minutes more then from years of classes and self teaching.

[Fusionhead]

March 8th- today is Dick's 81st birthday. Happy Birthday, you piano giant!

[pianoanimal09]

hah, i love how he absolutely butchered the mccoy tyner style of pentatonics. Obviously this guy never listened extensively to mccoy tyner, but that's alright cuz he's a master of a bunch of other styles. And let's face it, the guy is a pimp, just look at his name!

[WheresEeeToThen]

Well thank you Mr P, it's so nice to hear such a learned person as yourself adding constructive comments about someone who's imparting unusually intelligent knowledge for the greater good. Maybe you should take a look at your own moniker before you heap criticism?

[pianoanimal09]

dude come on shut up i'm not criticizing him, it's simply clearly that he doesn't listen to mccoy tyner, and i have no problem with that, i simply thought it was funny. Can't you see humor in things, or do you not have a sense of one? This guy is awesome, by the way.

[bceugene]

pianoanimal09 - You must have no idea who DH is, since he is a top notch player with decades of experience and one of the most revered and respected authorities on Jazz piano in the world.

[soogoonu]

hat down to this man

[ashelife6777]

you are truly a great teacher

[likemyviolin]

I have added some other Dick Hyman jazz-videos, such as jazz lessons for Jelly Roll Morton, Ragtime To Stride, Earl Hines, Teddy Wilson, Erroll Garner.

Enjoy!

[sizuller]
