Jazz Piano Lesson For BEGINNERS - Diminished 7th Chords

Diminished 7th Chords are fantastic. But, you need other chords in a song besides Diminished 7th chords. The thing about diminished 7th chords is that you can play any key in your right hand and it is going to sound great. You can't go wrong. This is one of the secrets of playing jazz. Jazz musicians improvise...they just cut loose and play all kinds of notes....and somehow those notes blend with the song. Well, they are going off on a musical JOURNEY because they are playing their improvisations many times against the background of a DIMINISHED 7TH CHORD.
There are other chords that you need to learn also like a minor 7th with a flatted 5th. To learn more about playing jazz piano and playing piano patterns check out my website:

i cant help but feel like you're oversimplifying things and using words like "SECRET" and "INSTANTLY" makes me even more suspicious

If the knowledge about playing extended chords is so prevalent and widespread, then do not watch my video, just take TRADITIONAL piano lessons from your local piano teacher and ask her or him to explain the interaction between extended chords and IMPROV.

Jazz is all forms of music thrown in the pot.

Some are scrape and some are merge and continually evolving.

Thank you! I like your style of teaching, you don't go too fast or too slow, and you break things down perfectly! especially for people like me that mainly play by ear.

Thank you so much for this video. I'm an absolut beginner in jazz, and this gives me an idea how to start practicing improvisation. Good hints to start with, because I was looking for someone to help me in this sense.
