Thanks mate.

play for an audience, (in a certain country in central europe) and even if you re swinging it hard, they will start clapping on the 1 and 3. even after being exposed to jazz for 60 plus years. military marches, polkas and techno upbringing (and bach and beatles) is hard to overcome. like he says vocalize and LISTEN LISTEN LISTEN TO JAZZ AND BLUES.

Amazing tutorial, you're a great musician!

Something else you might want to include to get a swing feel is listening to lots and lots of bebop :)

[drslimchick]

What is the name of the software you used to create this piano tutorial?

[claitontesch]

Very handy, indeed!

THANK YOU! I'm going from classical to jazz and I still get lost sometimes when swinging. My brain automatically locks on 1-3. Will try this method for sure!

[rikku9zashi]

you explain it so clearly! and this is exactly what I've been looking for. thank you so much!!

can't wait to watch more! :)

@rikku9zashi Thanks. I'm glad it was helpful!

[MrMusicNerd101]

how did you get the titles to appear on your video?

[dvamateur]

Damn! How can you play so fluent with two hands in unison? I've only seen three people doing this like that without any effort. They are Chick Corea, Hiromi (promimently her, she does it a lot), and you man! This is Amazing

This is dynamite, thanks! I have been trying to understand these concepts for a while, this is the clearest I have ever seen it presented. And you are a very talented musician!

[eidco]

Excellent, Tom. Thanks.

[JersiMuse]

Your channel's so great !!

What a shocker from 7notemode. I must tell you, 3 days ago I discovered in my hometown a new 24 hr jazz radio and have not been the same. Yesterday, I decided to get some of this stuff into my playing. I had no idea where to begin, and Now You Have Made My Day, One Again. Excellent presentation !

[7notemode]

Thanks, featureG

Great and inspiring instruction. Well, I know this just "by brain" but by far don't have it all in my body. You show how basic it is to practice and internalize these concepts. Do you know Carlo Bohländers old book "Anatomy of Swing"? He widens the metric point of "swing" view to a harmonic one. Stress on the closing symmetrie (2 not 1). (This we find in Bach's work as well)

[7notemode]

sshawnuff, never heard of the book. Sounds interesting. I'll keep an eye out for it.

[Mrguill]

heh, im learning invention 14 :-P

[fuzzfactory]

Sorry I should know that tune-- is that a Bird riff?

[7notemode]

I use Daahoud and Anthropologie in this video.

[Karmaneoeric]

I have lots of homeworks and this is just part one.......thanks for the post

[JazzChriss]

I have so much fun with this video ! Basically the rock sucks... while in jazz... :) one more thing ive always felt vocalising the song is extremely important ive noticed it also in "Art of improvisation" book by Bob Taylor. He wrote that one can practice away from the piano by vocalising scales in all keys.
