+David Faria I appreciate the positive feedback and detail. This keeps me going!

Great to see & hear all these styles . All gorgeous . I loved the ballad style for this tune .

I am trying to remember that I need sleep . Ha ha . You're videos are so compelling , it's easy to be a glutton and want to watch more . Educational over dose . Lol . But I'm loving it . All in good humour , I'm very grateful and hoping to grasp and master this beautiful instrument and style of playing one day . Xx

Very helpful addition to your books, Kent! Thank you

Thank you for this video. The beauty of music is the interpretation of the music by each musician. You did a great job demonstrating the different versions (jazz, Latin jazz & ballad).

Great tutorials, Kent!! After playing rock n roll, professionally, for 41 years, I'm getting back into my jazz studies (John Mehegan, Mark Levine). Stumbled upon your tutorial on "All the Things You Are" - and after seeing this, I'm hooked. Just so happened that "Autumn Leaves" was 2nd on my list. I think 3rd will be "Satin Doll". Anyway, studying my upper structure chords at present, but after seeing your videos, I'll have to make room for another hour of practicing!!! Thanks a million for sharing such valuable information....Brad

Thanks Brad , for telling me. I studied briefly with John Mehegan and have his books. A lot of knowledge comes from experience, private lessons, imitation, listening to records and live performances, and playing with musicians. Please check out my book... . because there's a lot of practical info and good tunes to play.

Amazing! I am a self-taught pianist who's primarily focused on Liszt, but watching your videos has inspired me to start learning more Jazz and variations, as they are truly beautiful. Thank you so much! Please keep making videos =)

Thanks for the tip! Yes... I read he was the poet who wrote the French lyrics. I guess I should credit him, even though this is not a French vocal rendition.

Kent, you probably know people love your playing and guidance, I cannot even start to express the ultimate joy filling me watching and listening to this and other videos of yours. Some watch entertainment, shows, movies, concerts, I watch your stuff and other talented musicians over the web and feel blissed. Sorry this is long but I'll tell you even more. Imagine a passenger who always wanted to drive a car but it seems so much to learn so he takes taxies all the time. You are the driver who gracefully tells the curious passenger about each and every decision and turn and sign on the road, making it so easy to understand and embrace driving as a practice and life habbit, losing all fears and excuses. You make my musical journey a very enjoyable trip, better than any technical book or excersize or theory. a Thousand thanks - wish you to play and teach many more years to come with a smile!

It's that kind of tune that can be played and has been played so many ways.

Look what happens here, young musicians. Mr Hewitt applies the "formula" for jazz/Latin/ballad. There's a "formula" for every kind of music, and it's mainly the RHYTHM that changes. The MELODY remains the same. The HARMONY (The chords) might "Expand" a little, esp with jazz interpretations. But they'll still represent Dominants, Sub Dominants and Tonics. But by changing the RHYTHM you can turn ANY song into a Jazz, Country, Shoe Gaze, Surf, Ragtime, Heavy Metal, or any other style. That's exactly what KH is doing here. He didn't learn three different songs. He played the same song, just applying the formula for the style he wanted. All you need is the formula. Analyze your favorite performer's recordings and you'll learn the formula. You'll begin to hear the same formula in other recordings in the same style/genre. BTW - Practicing ANYthing over Autumn Leaves is a great idea as it cycles through all seven chords. It's even called in 4/4, 3/4, and 5/4 time. You could do a Shoe Gazer-Bossa version in 7/8 time and be a hit at the restaurant gig. Thanks Mr Hewitt. Thanks young musicians.

I like that song a lot...I earned it a few years ago , so your request is inspiring me to delve into it. Thanks!

loved the tutorial, fabulous playing, Kent what does up beat and down beat mean?

@KentHewittpiano88

7 жыл бұрын

Every quarter note gets one beat. (1/4 of a whole - four to a measure)) 8th notes get 1/2 beat (eight to a measure). So two 8th notes equal one quarter note. If you divide a quarter note into two 8th notes, the first 8th note is the downbeat the second 8th note is the upbeat. For example: in the case of a quarter note on the 1st beat of the measure, the downbeat is when the note is played and the upbeat is exactly in the middle of the beat. Now 16th notes or 32nd notes, you can imagine, are more complicated! But it's all mathematically perfect (on paper).

Amazing! PS Listening to the ballad interpretation, I can only wonder, would the tunes in La La Land, especially the Mia and Sebastian's Theme be considered ballad because the legato, the stride-like playing and the chord structures on that sounds similar to your Ballad interpretation piece here?

That's a huge question, and not easy to answer w/o some extended lesson. It comes automatically at some point when you have practiced enough ...especially playing one hand at a time and then together very slowly. To be good at it you have to feel it, it's not intellectual or just a matter of counting. Watch my playlist videos on TIME AND RHYTHM and practice w/ a metronome.

What should i learn in order to find the right jazzy chords for a song like that? i am playing the piano from ear for years now but i can only find "standard" chords that will go along with the notes, but finding jazzy chords are a whole different story for me and i have trouble finding the correct chords for a song to sound jazzy...oh and BTW i do not know how to read notes, is it something that i must learn in order to play jazz?

You don't have to read notes if you can see and feel the shape of chords on the keyboard and have the sound of them in your ears. Please write to me again at kenthewitt@hotmail.com and I will try to answer all questions!

That question would take quite a few paragraphs to answer adequately. If you study my videos on scales you will learn more about that. The major modes will work fine on the minor and major chords and altered dominant scales will work nicely on the 7th chords.
