Jazz Piano : How to Play Experimental Jazz Piano

[Moonbus002]

LOL... Well... that was REALLY STUPID. :-D Irony I suppose. Experimental music is NOT how a kid will play!!! That sort of dumb statements only give this sort of music even worse image. Experimental music demands HIGH SKILLS; that's when you take known ways to do things to another level; it's like science and it IS ART when it's performed good. This was non of that; just rubbish. :-(

[Moneyxsharks]

I think I have a better chance playing experimental jazz on a toilet.

[kasponya]

That was insightful. I just learned the rules of playing a style of jazz that requires no rules - deep!

[beardedvulcan]

I used to be an expert on experimental jazz piano until I took an arrow to the knee

[garywingrove]

and that was experimental jazz. wait a second, no it wasn't!

[HiHaHofi]

so this is how a breakdancer plays "experimental jazz" hmm.. interesting :D

[LoseUrCool]

dude stop making vidoes you are pretty much terrible

[Bjorlin1]

play it like a kid would play! so good advice, thanks so much your awesome i look out for your name in the future, so awesome

[TheOeioeioeioei]

So this is where the band Slipnote got its name from!

[4thstuning]

His use of "rub" and "slip" notes in the free context is simply sublime.

[RobBrooksMusic]

@4thstuning LOL!

[diabolicboy6]

you are just hitting random notes you brain dead twit!

[5701birchroad]

I just threw up on my cat.

[Rodriq]

I just laughed.

[summerofska]

God you people are stupid. ITS A JOKE. and youre all pricks

[polar123454321ralop]

i love how he keeps his hands in the same spot before he starts. Really commits to improvising. Disgraceful. Is it a joke that's been going on for the last few years?

[matzedaemon]

You owe me 1:54 of lifetime

[gcharocks]

@Coeusful Nono, then you don't get the full experience of his idiocy.

[Criticalperspective2]

GAYVILLAGE

[Criticalperspective2]

HAHAHAHA wha tthe fuck! is this a joke??????!!!! fucking stop this shit, you re a disgrace to jazz!!!!!!

[pelforthpelforth]

If that's 'IT' - more 'say' than 'play' - then you should also show us how to write a 3-act play while having a piss!.

[karlmullen100]

Hahahahahaha! More "village idiot" than "expert village"!

[bodyofmystery]

dude you sound so god awful. maybe try telemarketing instead.

[aurekeys]

are you kidding me?

[aurekeys]

Contemporary jazz I'd say!

[58coltrane]

He´s doing it the right way. I dont understand why people say he is stupid...

[Panufo]

@58coltrane "The right way"? Just watch his treatment of 'Latin Jazz' or odd time signatures for some of the most hilarious videos on Youtube. I'm not sure he's stupid, but he's wildly ignorant about music. He has some musical ability in the sense that Ryan Dunn had the ability to drive a car.

[jrtjazztrio]

hes trolling

[CarloKretzschmar]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA:)

[mariesalas]

OMG he "break dances" too. Pleassse record yourself break dancing..LOL

[mariesalas]

Thanks McFly for showing us something a two year old would do on the piano. I take that back, a two year old would do better...LOL I think I lost all respect for expert Village.

[mikeharrison94]

i dont understand how expert village picks people. ad in the paper:

'we are looking for people who think they can play but they cant. any taker? Call 1300dumbass for more info.

[theelectrosquid]

This is a serious troll XD

[jonjonz91]

honestly, honestly, can someone from expertvillage tell me once and for all that the WHOLE DAMN SERIES is a FUCKING JOKE?

[MrTygeJessen]

he's so dumb, that it hurts to watch it

[Clutnuckle]

are you kitten me right meow

[motherfocus]

hahaha! So nice with all the angry comments. You really cant tell that this is i joke? Damn you guys are retarded!

[StuartGerber]

"as a little kid would play" you're an idiot

[jakeplaystune]

...and that was experimental jazz, best moment of the video

[ericfontainejazz]

could you say "experimental jazz" just one more time?

[Faradstweed]

This guy is so good. Does anyone know how I can hire him for a gig...and then put a bomb in the piano and take this retarded fuck stick out?!

[nikeyotronic]

horror

[JayRubottom]

I'm serious man, kill yourself, it's the only way to save your soul.

[thewafflemusic]

WHAT THE FUCK YOU DID WITH THE KEYS!!!! IT SUCKS MAN! THIS IS NOT A EXPERIMENTAL JAZZ. PATRICK THE STAR (FROM SPONGE BOB) IS BETTER, LISTENING EXPERIMENTAL JAZZ... DAMN! I'VE SUSCRIBED TO THIS ISH?

[TheDogsofKarma]

Man that was so killing. His experimentation is so deep.

[58EM]

I bet this guy reads these comments and laughs so hard at the amount of jazz-nerds he pisses off.

Keep it up my man.

[johnnyecho]

so expertvillage is a piss-taking channel ?

[Petterty1]

"a little kid" would play way better than this scumbag.

[djbot]

expert village sucks and you proved my point

[SubMetal1000]

experimental jazz? this is how eight year olds warm up before their recitals. "Free" does not mean you are "free" to suck ass and play random notes in time signatures that don't exist.

[willshakeyou]

ooooooh shit. these guys must be trollin. everything on expert village is completly idiotic. if they are trollin I think a looooooot of people are being fooled. if not, they should be sued or something lol

[Drawthemoral]

Move over Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays! This is how the pros make groundbreaking music!

/sarcasm

[Brincandopabajo]

stop playing!!!

[eazeyo]

yeah im pretty sure this is a joke

[thedryicefactory13]

I feel like he's just f@cking with us, he's probably so good secretly, and actually knows what he's talking about.

[mcjazzman]

Are you fucking kidding me?

I look on youtube every now and again to see if there are people posting some shit that's worth checking out....then I come to this. Man you need to spend more time listening to Jazz music and do your homework before you start sharing your knowledge (or lack there of) to the whole world. Before there was Jazz there was the Blues. If you can not play a Blues (all 12 keys) then you will not be able to grasp the evolution of Jazz music.

[Linkmaster4611]

That piece is now my ringtone

[metalcore929]

This has to be a joke.

[GhostGuitars]

Austin was that in 5/4? Lol

[GhostGuitars]

Experimental Jazz?!?!?!?! You deserve to be slapped in the face by every person currently breathing oxygen on this planet

[iamlostinthegroove]

or I could just sling on my boxing gloves and punch my piano according to your definition of experimental jazz

[when2L]

fuck you, asswipe! your piano blowss

[vxv543]

this guy makes me angry.

[vxv543]

i do believe that you are wrong, austin mcbride.

that sounded nothing like experimental jazz.

i think all that you were doing was diddling between some scales that fit over an E7 chord.

[z3z4z3z4z3z4z3z4]

em primeiro lugar afina essa merda

depois vai estudar solfejo pois seu toque e extremamente percussivo e irregular.

[flippenpinoi]

pleaaaase tell me youre joking

[patturik]

hahah you guys... it's a joke. And it's a good one too.

[frankmontis]

talk less, play better;-)

[phillytalented]

Ok i finished the video and I am very angry. No one play s this kind of jazz on one instrument but Chick, Brad, and Kieth do It all the time. You can just say "i sound like crap on the piano so ill call it experimental. Thats like me throwing paint in paper and call it a master piece. or me burning food and calling it Cajun lol. We need to band together and stop them. I m going to try and find his Facebook and tell him off

[phillytalented]

ok i stopped the video at 0:11 sec on the fact that you cant teach experimental jazz bc its an ummm experiment? i will watch the rest and comment accordingly but if its like i think, expert village struck again lol

[ukijhu97]

what an inspiring human beeing.

[ionahoopii]

Hilarious!

[jrobinso]

haha hilarious, my man!

[rthmjohn]

Experimental jazz... as if "experimental" were a clearly defined sub-genre of jazz music.

[mralanb]

hahaha... expert village, indeed. After watching several of these videos, it appears there is more than one idiot in this village. Nice idiots, though.

[rBennich]

I really don't know what to make of this...

1. Either you really know nothing about jazz and music in general, but really think you do.

or

2. You are a comedic genious.

[romi37]

@rBennich hahahahahaha

[Cuervotronic]

a little advice, thats its not jazz , the "experimental jazz" its really beautiful. I´m sorry, but i dont think to this is far to a chil play

[Tb0neZ5]

lol this guy fails at every other video he has up, but when talking about freeform jazz, hes really not that far off...

[consoleskript]

how much did u smoke before making that video?

[TheAliacat]

actually. Thank you a lot. Because...experimental..a lot of the time..whichever genera..does sound like that...for me anyhow...thanx really...b/c I wasnt very confident that my experimenting was getting me anywhere...or that it was legit AT ALL. Most people are afraid to post unpolished work... *****

[menontube]

MAN, you are soooo JIVE!!

[vvollero]

Austin McBride. The thinking man's Don Knotts.

[xxsimpletragedies]

...

[Reavener]

This really is an experiment.

[eatingperson]

Alright, I think it's safe to say you're joking. Very nice, in that case!

[phillytalented]

@eatingperson Im so sorry to inform you that he is very serious about this video

[ublazzz]

shibiddy shibidaaa kua kua kua bingo bango jazz

[AngelLikesMoney]

LOL @ the description Bio.

[Classicmozayful]

ah here, 'expert' s a bit pushin it now.....

[marimbadude3]

Nice montuno!

[davidpolkmusic]

i've seen some other expert village videos that were excellent. this however is by far the worst. the guy is totally ignorant about experimental improvised music. hey, expert village, if you need somebody to give some tips on this subject please contact me!....cause it's painful to know that this is viewable by the public under the guise of "expertise".

[EoN604]

there are no good expert village videos. if you watch carefully, they're all parodies.. looks like you were had? :)

[ekim53]

I can see why it's the least popular,

[phillyvinilli]

me not likey

[omgwtfzuperpewpew]

lol music can be experimental but it doesn't have to be shit. Its supposed to sound good no matter how complex and experimental it is.

[mmarkus227]

...experiment over!! ''experimental'' more like mental!

[davydawgdawg]

it started off bad. then he started playing and it got worse. you should stick to break dancing like it says in your bio.

[marinasvetaeva01]

TO MY KKNOWLEDGE IT WAS CREATED IN FRANCE AROUND 1970th THEY MADE IT WITH PREPARED PIANOS, USING RUBBER AND STUFF TO MAKE IT SOUND DIFFERENT. FRENCH FRENCHIS GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bobs482]

Austin McBride is the ultimate authority on music.

[trueogre11]

lol i agree with all comments below

[JHowell617]

lol this dude is serious.

[therealchestymclobes]

This guy is the biggest cunt I've ever seen in my life.

[musicmagic]

Fuck you Austin McBride....You dont deserve to be alive....

[Rolandriprig]

That was rubbish

[creative24seven]

I love his Biography.

"Expert: Austin McBride Bio: Austin McBride has been doing Break Dancing for 4 years... "

Am i missing something??

[OrangPeeI]

No. If you do break dancing, you'll automatically be a grand master jazz piano player.

[aliaobass]

exactly.. we all know that

[HuggumsMcgehee]

Exactly. That's why I stopped going over Bach's Inventions. Complete waste of time. Obviously, you have to pop, lock, and break your way to mastery of the instrument.

[creative24seven]

I love this guy. Someone give him a TV series!

[picias92]

Jazzzzzzzz.. :D

[rygarrett2]

this cannot be real.

[prsguitarsr4me]

funniest video i've seen in a while

[musiclvr35]

i think out of all of your videos that was the best one.....it seems you played the most harmonically in this piece then the others. please stop for the love of jazz.

[splat000]

HAHAHA IS THIS DUDE FOR REAL??

[duncandraper]

As they say in expert village, it takes an idiot.

[thefonz982]

i seriously hope no one holds any credibility to this video. im praying this video is a joke, ...praying.

[schinder1]

Yes, what an idiot! In Germany people like this are called: Spasst!

[fetze]

horrible

[marinho1964]

Defies belief on the stupidity scale.

[wizard903]

RGEJPH...

[jlipscomb]

what an idiot

[monty3441]

dude that was almost the best montuno ever played.

Seriously... ever.

[Adarrell]

hahahaha you are not "free" at all, you keep playing a V-I cadence you dipshit.

[jetzine00]

So he isn't "free" to play a V-I cadence?

[ekim53]

Do not criticize Expert Village

This is how a community organizer can become President., How to be an experimental president.

There's a lot of similarities

[blaaarrrgghh]

You're a dumbass.

[1truthseeker]

No, I'm a smartass, you're a dumbass. You probably voted for the experimental president.

[mictunes09]

This is my favourite guy cuz he is funny... i hope its a comedy video by all means... Cuz if its not U will be convicted for killing music.

[pumpdumpling]

vomit, excrement

[muvseevum]

lmao i can't tell if this is a joke or not

[wmpay]

you have no idea what free music is. you should listen to some real free jazz and practice for 10 years before you pretend to be an expert. you should also try learning a scale besides the blues scale.

[EvanAllen91]

Why are all of the expert village "experts" never actual experts?

[Finkldorkin]

reminds me of thelonious monk

[Mariakhin]

you not an expert. you re disgrace!

[CissaCast]

Sorry man... but I think you suck

[smillerd921]

i fuckin dug it man

[pumpdumpling]

Wow, you're an idiot.

You are utterly full of shit, and yes you sound like it too. It's unbelievable that anyone watching this video might take you even remotely seriously. You have made a fool of yourself and totally disrespected the music in the process. I'm forced to wonder why you even choose to play music at all.

And you're piano is out of tune. You little bitch.

[smillerd921]

take it easy

[pumpdumpling]

Alright but clearly the video should have been titled "I don't know what the fuck experimental music is."

HEY! If you're really trying to understand any kind of music, and especially freely improvised music, you have to experience it. That's where the meaning is.

And he says "Well, experimental jazz is basically just playing anything you want, it doesn't really matter, basically playing as if you are a kid and don't know your instrument." Bullshit. You know how hard those musicians work?

[ang14474]

Next project for you: Einstein's theory of special relativity. Fancy taking a guess at what that is? Then, when you're wrong, why not post a tutorial about it on YouTube.

[amsumanravih]

Austin McBride, you are a complete & total hack.

"Free jazz" most definitely does NOT mean "hey let's play regular jazz like a complete amateur who has no sense of musicality or knowledge of the tradition or contemporary movements in improvised music." Playing free/creative music takes skill & serious practice to develop sensitivity necessary to express oneself outside the framework of traditional Western music.

A disgrace.

[imholding]

he is acting

@amsumanravih 

[japes12345]

tosser

[aijinita60]

the clip is fine...but free atonal takes alot of skill. take sunra, cecil taylor archie shepp for example.. there is the use of clusters for example...free jazz is not just a rambling bunch of notes played with no regard of anything. it has a structure to it. if you do a another video perhaps you can illustrate some of these points.

[SomeOtherSky]

Seriously, have you ever had one single jazz lesson in your life? You obviously don't have a clue about the style, and that was NOT free or experimental jazz. It wasn't even good piano playing. Anyone who trusts this as even a 'good opinion' (let alone 'expert') is going to be SEVERLY mocked if they try and talk to any jazz musicians about it. Can't believe what I am seeing.

[saxdonkey]

I've been to dozens of solo piano gigs, and other instruments playing solo: ever heard of Evan Parker, Brad Mehldau, Keith Jarrett? Douche

[charlesmonroe1]

are you free for a gig next week...on Mars

[pobz100]

Expert Village is shit, all their videos are shit, and this guy with the glasses is just a twat!

[AVHeimerski]

that shit was funny.

[SensoryOssuary]

horrible

[tiluriso]

That's funny!

[SteveTheCart]

What's this piece called? The Fish?

[aijinita60]

hey mcbribe! listen and absorb cecil taylor

then make this video over.

[pony9999]

then make this video over? you mean

"then film this video again" or

"then remake this video"

[jdean9]

i hope this is a joke... :D

[0Marcus0Jazz0Motel0]

that was not experimental jazz. sorry expert.

[shaolintiger1]

i guess every village needs an idiot...thanks expert village

[shaolintiger1]

this is like watching pokemon for the first time and thinking what the fuck is this bull shit

[ilikepie146]

a joke?

[CharlieWallace02]

haha only just realised its a comedy.

[MemoryofLightwaves]

wow waste of youtube space O_O no offense

[danuu2]

You're an idiot.

[MemoryofLightwaves]

sorry didn't know this vid helped you

[pumpdumpling]

offense

[Speedfreak333]

I like it Its similar to john zorns book of angles .

[branman2288]

this is horrendous first of all you talk for an hour before u play ... then u play some boring shit that is worlds behind what experiemental jazz is ... then u don't teach the viewer how to play anything. good luck at your nursing home gigs
