Jazz Piano Lesson - A Couple of Nice Jazz chords

Hey, in this video I am going to show you how to play a bit of Jazz.
I apologise sincerely for accidently having my piano transposed. I didn't know it was in the wrong key untill after I recorded the video.
I hope the video is still helpful in some way.

How do you do that run when you go across the piano? Ive tried to figure it out but i cant get it. You got a lot of talent keep it up Ive grown up listen to good jazz music.

@italysfinest7731 Which run do you mean? Can you give me a time reference?

I'm sorry for being so direct, but for me and anyone else watching who has perfect pitch, this video is useless. Why did you have to have to use a mechanical transposition on your keyboard?

It's really too bad, because I would have loved watching and maybe learning something.

@skybart

I do apologise for it before the video so it's not like I did it on purpose. At least you can see some of the voicings visually. You'll also note this was made 3 years ago. My more recent uploads may satisfy you more.

Cool Jazz.  Yeah, it sounds like Weather Channel music. Nothing wrong with that.

[pwnoftheages]

Can I have your hands please?

@TheSalesmenBand I beg to differ. I have perfect pitch. Now your point about 440 or 435Hz. For me, I can tell you when a single not is out of tune, and by how much (not in Hz, just aurally lol). So to me, I hear a difference when its 440 or 435. Nether is wrong if it is Intended to sound as it does. some pianos are tuned different anyway ie. a Db sounds like C.

However, Skybart Is talking shit. I can both hear the notes at "Natural" pitch and imagine what it would sound like with no sound.

@skybart Oh Im sooooo sorry that this video is useless because you have perfect pitch, now you know how hard it is for the motherfucking rest of us

[drone713]

@skybart What the fuck? You have perfect pitch but you can't transpose? If you had perfect pitch, why would you even be searching youtube videos to "learn something?" You have no idea what perfect pitch even means. Fucking idiot.

@TheSalesmenBand

You are wrong - perfect pitch does exist. I know a guy who has it, and I have tested him on it, comparing Baroque tunings and modern tunings and asking what note this is and whatnot, and beyond a shadow of a doubt, he has it. *I* have relative pitch. *Most* musicians have relative pitch. Perfect pitch is *rare* but it exists.

Its a decent riff, although your timing and finger precision is a bit off.

Still very moody and nice :)

@italysfinest7731 this guy is amazing

im tyring to gather or grow old as i go along and die with good jazz as well

[memejawd]

@skybart i have perfect pitch too but dude its only a whole step flat so it should be pretty easy to transpose

do u play piano?

Hello, Im trying to learn jazz chords, and i am an absolute beginner in jazz music. I just began recently, what kind of excercises would you recommend to get used to some jazz chords? These videos are awesome! Ive tried to implement some jazz chords into a song the other day, Cm(major 7) etc. but I keep going back to just basic chords naturally. I want to play more chords with a different tune, not just the same ones over and over again.

[MrGoNzObeAtZ]

Nice video. thanks.

[JTylerBentley]

@skybart Keep in mind I only have relative pitch, but I would imagine that even though you have perfect pitch, you could still derive some use for this video. It could not possibly be that hard to transpose what you are hearing to match what you are seeing. If you can't do that, just stop looking at the stinking video and listen. Jeez.
