I literally went crazy with your class, my mind exploded and now I hear myself as a true pianist, thank you very much, excellent class, I really advance a lot, subscribed from Guatemala

Piano in this piece always makes me think of a rainy day, when Miles comes in, I imagine him as school kid after a bad day on the doorstep locked out wailing for his mum.

I always think of a baby crying

I just love the sound of these cords and the texture applied. So rich in tonality

May we have a tutorial for Almost Blue? Your videos are top notch and thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Excellent explanations of movement and chord structures. Love it. Will try to apply some if this to my playing.

Finally a simple tutorial for my all time favorite piano jazz composition! You're my hero

thank you great tutorial of a great song, and love your clear explanations of the intervals and voicings. :)

Thanks for this! I’m a guitarist with a goal of becoming equally proficient in piano. I’ve been obsessed with this tune for a good while and I’ve already transcribed and taught myself how to play the outro Bill Evans does on the original Kind of Blue recording. I adore the sound every time I hear myself reproduce his masterful composition. I believe this will help a lot in my attempt to start improvising on the tune. 😊

Iv waited 6 years for this tutorial 😨thank you

What keyboard are u using.? Sounds nice.

What's the chord progression in numbers please?

I've learned 5 songs in 30 minutes because your instruction is really excellent. I play 4 instruments, and I have a solid theory background. If your could get someone to play james booker and dr. John stuff, that would be my jam.

0:25 that F-Eb-A stretch in the left hand! How is that possible?

Are you serious? I give up, this dude rocks!

One small correction: It's not Miles Davis's tune. Bill Evans wrote it, Davis took credit for it. He gave Evans only $25!

There are a lot of 'wrong' notes in this piece. How would they have chosen which wrong notes to play? Just instinct and experimentation?

Great video, and break down of very textured voicings. Ive spent all day studying this vid. Just realised you sound a bit like Karl Pilkington. Which is a bonus.

Thanks Matt glad you liked the tutorial :-) PianoGroove

Top notch! I'm learning a lot from you about how to make interesting variations of jazz chords. Just one point: I'm convinced I'm hearing a Gm11 for the first chord of the original _Blue in Green_ recording and not Bbma7, contrary to what the transcriptions indicate, i.e. I hear a G under the Bb: kzread.info/dash/bejne/gqOErpl7ddu5gbg.htmlm17s (I admit that my speaker attached to my laptop is poor so maybe I need to listen again to my vinyl disc-bought, I think, way back in 1965 😮-and check, when I find the time to purchase a decent hi-fi.) _EDIT: Just listened again with my earphones, and it is in fact the bass that sounds the G (And what exquisite bass playing!! Is it the first time I've fully noticed that??). In fact, the pitch-choice by the bass for the first chord of the ten-chord pattern remains consistent throughout the whole ballad. So you have: g-a-d-c-(b)-b flat-a-d-e-a-d._ _No doubt about it: the first chord is Gm11 (or Gm13 if you count the melody note). This also fits with the supposed origin of _*_Blue in Green:_*_ Miles handing Evans a slip of paper a year earlier with just the chords Gm and A+ written on it, and telling him to go away and see what he could do with that. Thus, the first two chords of the structure, echoed again in the middle (and also modulated in chords 7 & 8)._

Hey, my copy of the real book has a completely different score for the chords of blue in green; it goes 'G-7, A7#9, D-7, Db7b5', and so on.

@bsykesbeats

Yeah, thats the first chord of the intro. But after the intro when the "actual song" starts, it starts on a B flat.....but you could always get philosophical abt it and say that a B flat Maj chord is essentially just another voicing of a D min chord and vice versa.

Is it weird I'm trying to play these chords (with the notes played all at once) on bass guitar? 😂 Piano sounds much better with this of course. Just trying to familiar myself with jazz songs

Where’s the lesson on improvising over blue in green?

I would guess the real book requires us to read sheet music?

When are they going to have a new "Real Fake book"? And not a reprint? So many tunes need to be added......and some excluded.

@@raeleo359 I meant the original comment, but that being said I know it sounded harsh. Learning the exact voicing a specific player played for a song isn't the same as the "right/wrong voicing". The exact voicings of a player can teach you how they approached a song and that has its value, obviously, but Jazz isn't meant for you to blatantly plagiarize. You should explore your own path for approaching a standard and develop your own voice. Transcription helps develop that voice by teaching you how players you liked played the song, but again if you perform it that way you aren't really playing Jazz. The video was a tutorial for the first steps on approaching the progression everyone gets for this song, so the OC's comment was uncalled for in the first place. If this was a Debussy piece or even some random pop song someone wants to learn, that's when the exact voicing would matter.

Sorry , the fingers are just too weird.
