  • Fail, this song was meant for the saxophone/trumpet!

  • swinging lines..like your quote of Solar around 3:04 or so. Please post some more tunes. Great chord you ended with.

  • yeaaah

    

  • Hey, I like your improvisation starting at :32. Can you teach me the chords that you used? I want to use them in my solo for this song!!

  • great sound! I liked how you threw in the chord changes when they happened in the solo.... like you'd be doing a run and then play the dm7-g7 chord change.... sounds great. ... What was the last chord you played??!

  • Thanks for the comments.Last chord is ( I think) LH : B and F#, RH: Eb, Ab and C- not sure what you call it. I was working on chromatic stuff when I did this- George Benson said he thinks in terms of chromatics- like instead of thinking Dm7-G7-C, think Dm7-Db7 -C. Anyway, thanks again. Cheers!

  • maybe like a weird Ab7 with a B in the bass? idk thanks though!

    @derailleur2

    Your Db7 is called a sub-five. You know you can play your Dominant (G7) with a #11 (Cis)?

    So the Db7 is nothing else then a triton-substituted #11 enharmonic equivalent to the Db, you see?

    so it's called sub-five, because you go a chromatic step down with your dominant.

    with Dm7 you have a 2-5-1 standard turnaround and a switched 5.

    If you want you can switch the 2 as well, and play a Abminor7, it's called a "related two" because of the relation to the intended Gb

    It's called sub-five, caused by the #11 you can play in your Dominant. when you do a triton-substitution you see its enharmonic equivalent to the Db7 (G7->C#7->Db7).

    In this Standard turnaround 2-5-1 (dm7-g7-c) you just switched the 5 to the sub5 (goes chromatic one step down). And you can switch the 2 (dm7) as well to a "related-two" (Abm7). So you can play Abm7-Db7-C.

    It's called related two because of the relation to the intended one Gb (Abm7-Db7-Gb), a complete triton substi...

    ...substituted 2-5-1 of your dm7-g7-c.

    You can play the 2-5-1 by only substituting the 2 (like Abm7-G7-C) as well.

    Resume:

    you can play your 2-5-1 (Dm7-G7-C) with triton-substituted 5, or substituted 2 or both.

    Hope you understood anything, i do hard with translation :)

    Greetings

  • dude...you're superb man!....dude....can you show like how to improvise this song:)......what scale u using

  • Love your improvisation on this piece! I'll be studying for a while. Thanks for sharing!

  • SICK! u did great dude i guess you have a lot of time playing an d practicing to play in this way

  • My piano teacher told me to learn to play this, but he wouldnt play it once for me to listen and get the feel of it to. I am not very good without listening to a piece once or twice to see how it sounds But, i am a sneaky person, so looked it up on here, and found you playing it. Thanks for helping me, now i know what it sounds like, i can play it much more easily!

    Thanks again!

  • Very Good.

    I've been learning jazz piano since i was about 9, i'm now 13 and i'm finding myself at a wall in my playing which i can't get passed.

    But i must say you have given me hope as i searched how to play this song and your playing has convinced me that there is still something achievable and great about jazz piano.

    Thank You
