Summertime Jazz Piano Lesson - Stride and Blues Scale

http://fastpianolessons.com

This intermediate - advanced lesson covers the melody of summertime with an introduction to stride patterns.
If you're a beginner you can still learn how to play stride by using simpler 2 or 3 note chords!

This video also walks you through the dminor blues scale fingering. This is the blues scale you'll want to use for improvising and soloing on Summertime!

[chrismarx85]

@985steven - yeah... and under the piano... you can't see them from the camera angle, but thats where my feet are. (connected to my legs) :) The camera always make things look weird :)

Aren't m7b5's just Half-diminished? A.K.A. a O or 0 with a / through them?

[chrismarx85]

Yes!

Two different names for the same chords.

Don't ask me why, it just adds to the confusion!

[forridersofsatan]

how long have you been playing?

[chrismarx85]

since I was 5... i didn't practice a lot when I was younger.

I haven't had a lot of time to practice recently either.

I've met some really great piano players who have only been playing for a couple years. Its because they practiced consistently. :)
