Jazz Piano For Beginners || Tutorial #2: pentatonics, blue notes and how improvisation works

This is the second tutorial in my series on jazz piano for absolute beginners. In this lesson we build on what we learned in the first tutorial, using the C major pentatonic scale and two notes from the C blues scale to improvise over two, and then three, chords in the left hand.

I also introduce shell chords – incredibly useful for jazz piano – and talk about some of the underlying music theory it’s useful for you to know, especially if you’re relatively new to the piano or just coming back to the instrument.

Finally, I talk about the mental processes involved in jazz piano improvisation (and, in fact, in most forms of improvisation, musical and otherwise), and how skilled pianists and other improvisers have a mental toolkit from which they build their improvisations. This all depends on developing a “flow state”. The best jazz pianists have the biggest and best-practised toolkits and the best flow.

3 Jazz Chords Every Beginner Should Know!

Learn jazz piano No Comments »

If you are a beginner and want to learn some easy jazz chords – this lesson is for you!

Sign up for MORE awesome content at http://www.pianopig.com

In this lesson I show you 3 easy jazz chords that all jazz beginner piano players should know!

They include a minor 11, a minor 7 flat 5, and an altered dominant. If the chord names sound like nonsense to you don’t worry because you don’t really need to understand them to be able to play them…. learn the theory later!

With these 3 chords we can construct what is known as a ‘minor II-V-I’ and this sounds awesome! Practice the chords in different keys to get familiar with them and try to incorporate them into your own playing.

If you have any questions just leave them in the comment box below.

In this Jazz Piano Tutorial we will be on how to play Jazz Piano – from beginner to advanced.

In this lesson I try to answer the questions of ‘How to Play Jazz Piano.’ This is quite a difficult question to answer because Jazz is a very fluid and broad genre. There is no ‘right’ way to play Jazz. Consequently, it’s often quite difficult to create a prescriptive series of steps which you must follow in order to be able to play Jazz. The whole point of Jazz is that the musician is just as involved in the composition of a song as the composer. This is why Jazz musicians generally use ‘lead sheets’ rather than ‘sheet music’. Lead sheets intentionally only give you the skeleton of the song (just the basic melody and chords) and force you to make up the rest. It’s up to the musician to take this basic information and turn it into a fully-fledged performance. Nevertheless, when you are just beginning to learn to play Jazz, you’re naturally looking for some guidance about what to play and how to play.
