[fabiosena72]

Hi,

I enjoy your music a lot.

Can you post some videos on how to practice improvisation?

God bless you

[7notemode]

@fabiosena72 Thanks, There is a little of how to improvise in my How to Swing videos.. Learn to vocalize improvisations from recordings by the Greats of Jazz.

[KingdomSon7]

dude you are simply..........wow

[fessis]

I think that you have looked the DVD Concert live in Lugano with Hancock, Carter and Cobham. Ther he plays Dolphin Dance solo and I hear some of those influences in your play. Is that true?

[Galv1nBass]

Awsome! 5* luv it :)

[qwasd0r]

wow, great!

[0rgan36]

Your harmonics are extraordinary beautifull.

Come to Europe, we love this music.

Thanks a lot

[7notemode]

Thanks, Organ36.

[stabuwithagun]

[chainyza]

Oh my god !!! You're a pro !

[7notemode]

haha! Thanks, chainyza!

[RT550TopBanana]

Love this tune and your rendition is so pure. I would travel and pay to hear you too!

[keelan111]

You love those oscar peterson runs.

[freeqwerqwer]

Man, I'm in heavan just listening to this pianist play

[7notemode]

Thanks freeqwerqwer! I appreciate it! ...and thanks to everyone for such nice, encouraging comments.

[freeqwerqwer]

If 7notemode concertized, I wouuld pay $50 to go hear him live.

[13456495819887651657]

that was amazing. where could i find the music for this tune?

[jungmans90]

the real book?

[8trp7]

I play the trumpet and I study biology. This is the reason why will now read 4 books about piano voicings :)

[thesingerperson]

It's like your fingers are dancing on the keys :D

[goodlukeing]

This song is so annoying to solo to, the chord changes are like always a semitone higher than you expect or something

[goodlukeing]

But still a great tune (and arrangement you have done here) regardless

[JLorz84]

Bravissimo!

[itsbenagain]

great left hand

[Prebster90]

I think you've listened to Art Tatum:D

[norms005]

4:57-5:29 is unbelievably awesome

[funkychameleon]

trop de manières et de notes. Le joue gagne a être plus simplifié. manque de rythme et de swing.

[jazzsurvivors]

I'm a bass player and your bass lines are cooler than mine! Great job.

[7notemode]

ha :-) I doubt that, jazzsurvivors, but thanks!

[cuddlebuttons]

you are so amazing--loving EVERYTHING you do!

[Inova91]

Really impressive! I'm into jazz guitar, but this almost made me want to switch to piano, haha

[cardangel16]

My Professor at Berklee ( Livingston Taylor) thinks that you are phenomenal!

[7notemode]

Thanks, cardangel16. You made my day! There could be no better teacher than LT. The depth and emotional resonance of his vocal delivery is in a league of it's own. Please say thanks and hello for me from his hometown of Chapel Hill, well close anyway)

[1bigstudmuffin]

you are my hero bro, teach me your greatness

[steelydad]

a fabulous interpretation really swinging

where are you located?

[7notemode]

Thanks, I'm in Raleigh, NC

[lucianotube]

I always see your videos. You are a excelente jazz pianist! You have a 'root style'!

[Bobkingpiano]

Thank you for the posting 7notemode! Very nice playing on your site. Bravo! Bob

[jfranciss]

excelente

[nonequoted]

I really enjoyed this. It was interesting what you said in the more info section. I would love to discuss music with you. I play guitar, but this type of harmony is very interesting to me. As a guitarist, dense and extended chords are nearly impossible. I can see how using parts of an extended chord open up more areas for those two or three notes to go.

[xNoirex]

is all necessary to memorize all these chordds and scales?

soprry for the awakward quesiton but im thinking of going into jazz and my music teacher told me to memorize and practise all that , is there anyother way?

[7notemode]

xNoirex, Chord progressions and scales should be understood rather than just committed to memory. If you familiarize yourself with the relationships of the the chords to each other in a tune, it allows you to play the tune in different keys without as much difficulty.

[solaimuisc]

Que eu preciso pra ter uma boa tecnica de jazz?

more or lass this

wat's I need study to can an good tecnic in the jazz?

sorry for my ingles...rsrsrs

[JCJasion]

Well bck to the woodshed for me on this one! Your version is da bomb!

[fran4n]

amazing :)

[LatinSkinz]

u got a good touch and your own style - nice

[ramtha9]

Completely and utterly OUTSTANDING! " "Scuse me boys, you'll have to run along now, we gots us a Genius At Work!" Expertly done, I am so impressed. Stuff like this makes a normal joe realize the potential of musicianship that can come out of a human being. Nothing short of inspiring. Thank you 7notemode for playing the piano keys like they were 'Dreamcicles!' Unearthly, Mister!

[7notemode]

Thanks ramtha9! Your comment made my day :-)

[mihmus]

Amazing playing!

And amazing sound! Perfect piano!

[BlueOrpheusLA]

You, sir, are a bad mf and I mean that in the best possible way!

LB

[mrjonathannielsen]

whats the first descending scale you use at 0:05

[7notemode]

mrjonathan,

F Eb Db Bb Ab F etc. The third finger hits both Eb and Bb

[Well108]

Haha, if anything, this version sounds more west coast to me.

Seriously excellent video, though. I love your style. :D

[mansikerss]

amazing one!

can you make a tutorial as you did to "misty"? :P

[lanka2571]

Great version of this tune. I really like your inclusion of higher extensions than what is explicitly called for in the tune (or at least in the fakebook verison) mixed with more conventional lower chord tones in the voicings. I especially like your right hand voicings around the 4:00 mark, with most of the notes ocurring in a 2 octave span or less. I will be watching this video more as I work on this tune myself. Bravo!

[betotusso]

very good

[altyd15]

well played, fast finger

[scribe63]

fast fingers wow :-)!

[4SOCOM5]

where does the rockit guy get off writing something like this?

[WeesGegroetOnderdaan]

one of the best videos on youtube

[7notemode]

Thanks!

[geeride]

Damn, you, volvox, lot2learn, jazz2511 all freak me out with your playing.

[7notemode]

Thank you? :-)

[g3nisyy]

amazing dude..

[ZiljianK]

That was great.

Did you use sheet music. I would like to learn that piece

[fruglescot]

Hey 7Notemode

When I used to attend the, almost now totally extinct, piano bars here in Toronto there was one special tune that I would always request. It was happily accepted by the soloist. A kind of an insider's tune. "When Sunny Gets Blue" I would love to hear your rendition of the old but rare classic jazz piece.

If you're taking requests that is?

[Superphilipp]

7, in case you need it, the song he is requesting is in the Real Book, and in the 49th Aebersold book.

[keyboardmum]

interesting how one person says it's like Bill Evans, another says they hear George Shearing, another says Art Tatum...to me it sounds influenced by Oscar Peterson, at least in the intro.

[justingaylor]

m(_ _)m That's me bowing down to your flawless technique.

[Yapiano]

really awesome! i like the left hand solo part.

[CharlieChimp26]

Totally chilled me the feck oot, awesome!

[Sindrowsky]

this standard reminds me something when I was a child...

great technique!

[slapmyfunkybass]

intro has a oscar peterson feel to it... nice technique

[phishfan08]

If I could bow down via internet, I would.

Your technique is flawless.

[daucir]

Beautifull sounds and swing

[BlowRefuse]

fesh

without words

[qubneeg]

very good..nicely done..

[mndswpr]

sounds great!

[etzenhammer]

very very impressive. I wish I had your technique for my left hand ...

[robomasta]

Wypas!!!

Great!!!

[txsk8st8]

respect

[Modes9]

I love this tune and admire this interpretation. Is the intro a tribute to Art Tatum?

[courageux28]

does have that Art Tatum vibe at the begining. awesome playing!

[jazzlatinfunk]

yes, art tatum???

[Pharoah96]

Extremely Good! I'm a professional piano player myself and have toured for years on cruise ships...and you get to thinking you're pretty good then you see something truly a step above where you're at.

[musicguy291]

wow..great playing...i love that song.. you have awesome clarity and touch in your playing

[dutchy09]

I've been listening to your music for the past..I'd say..hour and a half. I love it, the technique and cleanliness is amazing. All the chords and everything fit so well together. Jazz theory is an amazing thing to know (it's one thing I wish I had time to learn right now).

[chicoflaco]

i hate walking basslines on piano, but otherwise great job

[courageux28]

are you serious...7notemode played that in true herbie hancock style. herbie uses all those licks and more.

[GS336]

Amazing Playing.

[KBillys]

Wonderful playing. I come from a classic background. I was wondering if you could give me some tips for starting to play this variety of music. I have picked out a book from Mark Levine.

Do you have any transcriptions of your performances?

[loldotalol379]

I'm starting to learn jazz piano, but I don't know where to start... Do you have any tips? Thank you in advanceT_T

[florbo73]

You're a very master, beautiful version! :)

[TheGreyMaster]

wow!!! 5 stars!!! great!!! :D

[Challenjazz]

Very nice.

You said your teacher just told you that you should listen to other jazz pianists and learn to improvise using some of their techniques, and then create your own style from what you've learnt; would you recommend that? I've played classical for 8 years, and I've got an accurate and sound technique, so would you recommend simply listening to some jazz first and THEN going back to my teacher to start getting help on refining my style?

[7notemode]

Challenjazz, I sent you a PM

[vonthadden]

SOUND GREAT.....NICE SWING !

[rhysiboy10]

you are inded very good. Im only just starting to get into playing jazzon the piano and aspire to be able to play as good as someone as yourself ;)

very good :)

[GrarupJensen]

Amazing, you technics are very good..

Thanks..

[with9isavailable]

Towards the very beginning, when you do that fast runnish sort of thing from about the middle to lower piano, what notes are you playing?

[7notemode]

with9isavailable, Here are the notes of the run:

F Eb Db C Bb Ab F Eb etc. I end on Bb. 

Hope that helps.

[eljoven315]

amazing, count me in as a new suscriber!!

[capedmarauder]

Nice chops!

[pianomandan15]

This is freaking amazing.

[pmat1000]

Something of George Sharing - I like it !

[JazzySaxE]

your too cool for school my man! I hope to one day play Jazz as well as you if I could this is pretty tough stuff! props to you and am now sucribing! 5+

[isaiahangelo]

definitely a more Bill Evans-like interpretation. I dig it :-).

[rodrigofs2]

excelente musicalidade e tecnica

[artur2001]

Muita técnica e bom gosto. Este video está perfeito, parabéns!!!

[zombywoof101]

my god that was amazing - wish i could play that!! unbelievable :)

[Lot2learn]

Nice job on a great tune by one of my all-time favorites (Herbie). Great touch, light and easy but forceful when you want to. Those dissonant chords are great. I agree with volvoxburger on your left hand.

[broccoliboy98]

nice...get some bass and drums and you'd be a great trio. i think your comping really lends itself to working with a bass player. look forward to more stuff from you!

[jurrius]

this is great stuff!

[xstingrayx]

5 stars again. you really know how to play

[volvoxburger]

the left hand is killing!
