Blue Bossa McCoy Tyner Style

[Sklauble]

Wow, this is really amazing stuff! Had the pleasure of seeing McCoy at the old Lighthouse in Hermosa Beach as well as the Shrine Auditorium. Is there any way to slow the solos down for transcription purposes, or do you have these transcribed? I'm a buyer if you have this written out.

[AmundLauritzen]

You have the quartal/pentatonic/sus thing down cold! I really enjoy your YouTube channel although I am not a pianist, but still learning from watching and hearing. The written analysis in this video was very useful to me. Have you recorded any albums?

[leohammondb3]

I always love to watch this. McCoy Tyner it is. it's like I'm in the bebop era. You're fantastic. *****

[andersonmarquezjazz]

Full poderoso y bonito tu video con admiracion desde venezuela sigo tu canal

[friedmanguitar]

WOW, i also really enjoyed your video of resolution. If i were to offer constructive criticism, which i'm reluctant to do because your a much better musician than myself, i would say some of the fast licks have a little shaky time, but just a tiny bit.

[Lot2learn]

@friedmanguitar I appreciate your comment.

[PsychotikPandora]

Congratulations doc



[danieljones013]

Here we go... The phrasing, scales and melodic sequencing of MCcoy tyner. This is his style. If yhe saw this he would wonder "when did I record this?"

This was perfect dude. You = beast

[Lot2learn]

@danieljones013 Thanks for the comment, you made my day.

BEAST

[SuperHelmut12]

great left hand. but do you play d minor flat 5?

[Lot2learn]

@SuperHelmut12 Yes, but mostly only during the melody (you'll see the Ab played in my left hand). During the solo I probably leave it out more than I put it in.

[ddominiqq]

your solo sound juste like a machine gun, very tiring, very trying, wish i had my hear plugs!

i usually greatly appreciate your vidéos. (even god made a mistake the seventh day!...

[joshuasound]

you got the feeling man, realnice work

[KittyCatWalk]

You have a really great style. Wish I had your proficiency. I'm putting together some piano instruction and love how the digital keyboard above really spells out what you are doing? What program do you use to sync that with your video?

[Lot2learn]

@KittyCatWalk Thanks for your comment. MidiKeyz software is the program.

[gregoryusa1]

Da** you tear this cut up! MeLot2learn about McCoy. One of all time FAVS, thx!

[gregoryusa1]

Man this cat can play! I dig the repeating motifs and rhythmic variations throughout the tune. I thought drjass was hot before hearing this version. Sure does sound alot like the real McCoy! Thx for posting this instructional video!

[Lot2learn]

@gregoryusa1 I appreciate your comment - thanks!

[ARTEPARALAPAZ]

[Lot2learn]

@da2rth I appreciate your comment - thanks.

[kapellemeister]

Keep it coming! You obviously have a full understanding of the music you put up (and no time to gig?)

[coconutsk8]

De la soupe... Mc Coy ne fait pas 10 fois les mêmes phrases dans ses chorus!

[urbano277]

[claitontesch]

very, very good!!!!!!!!!

[GiZm0130]

wow. your really good!!! i loved the style and phrasing you did. was very expressive and caught alot of the excitement from the tune.

[camposmusic]

I wish I could've seen this video 20 years ago, but I am very glad to see it now. Thanks for sharing!

[braydmusic]

I am extremely grateful that someone like you is taking the effort to graphically clarify some of these complex tunes like you do. True mastery of an art form shines a light of clarity and de-mystification instead of merely reveling in one's own skill and hype. Sincere gratitude.

[Lot2learn]

Thanks for your comment!

[chris7413]

this video humbled me.

[JoseStev]

This is hot

[mazetov]

Encore une fois, bravo!

Quelle énergie, quel feeling, quelle précision rythmique et quel phrasé...

5* et +

Pourriez-vous jouer "contemplation" de Mccoy ? Ce serait super.

merci Roger

Again, bravo!

Energy, mccoy feeling, precision and rhythmic phrasing .

5 * and +

Could you play "contemplation" of McCoy? It would be great.

thank you Roger

[Lot2learn]

Merci. :-)

[billmcb]

...outstanding, rodger!...

(...it would be nice to play together sometime!...)

sincerely,

bill mcbirnie

[Lot2learn]

Thanks for the comment Bill. Sure, anytime. ;-)

[UppinDisma]

Man this is just so incredible! Your videos constantly inspire me to strive for greater perfection in my playing. I hope if I get accepted to a college for jazz piano I can leave with just half your ability

[Lot2learn]

Thanks for your comment Tchakalla.

[TwainsBlues]

Fantastic playing. You're right - there is a lot to learn. Thx for sharing. BT

[Lot2learn]

I appreciate your comment.

[vibeman27]

Hi Roger,

I Havn't been on Youtube for quite awhile but I see you are still "commanding" attention with your wonderful playing.

[7notemode]

Roger, I always try to read the emotional projection of a performance. You are one of the rare players who can project optimism, wonder and curiosity in your playing. There is a lot of positive energy jumping off of this!

[localpm]

Incredible!!

[Lot2learn]

@localpm Thanks much for your comment.

[7notemelody]

Simply Fantastic Roger..

[Lot2learn]

@7notemelody Thank you, your comment is appreciated.

[ankhaton]

I tried one of your riffs right hand

but apperently I'm to old

to come at that speed

Terrific Roger

Hé, could you try a Petrucciani piece like He did

it's less fast in general

and I guess you like Him too

In a Sentimental Mood for instance

And you have a bass player overthere . . .

of course 5*********

[PianistaItaliano]

Great work Roger, love the reharmonization * * * * *

[Lot2learn]

Grazie Alfonso. ;- )

[chicoflaco]

@chicoflaco I appreciate your comment - thanks.
