this is one of the most complete and amazing sounding exercises I have found on KZread

Agreed. Its fantastic.

OK now for real: You teach the way one is expected to be taught at Berklee, G.I.T. or Juilliard. By that i mean i feel like i get the opportunity to be there and being allowed to catch up with what was never possible for me. Studying Jazz Concepts presented in a fun, educational and especially understandable way. Eternal gratitude. You are a phenomenal teacher. Greetings from Germany, Chris

You hit a perfect spot between entertaining and pedagogical with these improvisation videos. I can't stress how much I've learned from your system; but not only that -- I feel very inspired to play and keep practicing with your videos, thank you!

Why thank you Jazz Duets. You're a gentleman and a scholar.

Just about the best jazz improv lesson ever! Haha, the editing is on point, man... The material is solid as well. New fan!

Yesss! This is what I call knowing how to take advantage of audio and video editing resources for educational purposes! very good! our pioneer hero Jamey Aebersold would have loved to have had all these facilities in his time! Congrats, and thank you! Warm regards from Brazil 😊

thanks!!!

You are by far my favourite jazz teacher.

Bro this video is pure gold

I've been taught triad pairs before, and what you've done is take an exercise and make it into music. I've been working on this for a month, and continue to find incredible value each time I work on it. In my sextet, we just started working on Tom Harrell's "Terrestris" which is ... triad pairs! Glorious triad pairs! I have this sudden and immediate insight into a tune I just discovered. My musical skill has taken a huge leap because of this inspiring teaching you created - THANK YOU!

The only educational video where you dance while you learn. The group of 5 in 16th and triplet are sooo groovy. Thanks !

This is one the best lesson (if it s not the best)” about something” in you tube universe. Deep respect Nick!

Thanks a lot. One of the best things in youtube, absolutetly inspiring.

I m preparing for Berklee and it's such a nice thing to have you ! Keep up the great job !

I always come back to this 👍

Brilliant presentation of excellent info! Thank you.

With this one video I've absorbed so much more information on how to create interesting lines on my sax, my keyboard and marimba solos! The way you express the emotional component and how it relates to the specific triad pairs and rhythmic combinations makes so much sense to me, I feel like it's starting to open the door to the next level of jazz improvisation understanding for me! Instantly subscribed!

Mindblowing yet so simple stated. The explanation itself is art. Congratulations!

One of my favorite standards! Thanks for this!

Thank you so much for all of this great information! What an amazing contribution to music!

This is so well done. I really appreciate the time it took to put this together!

This is awesome, well executed. Once in a while I come back to one of your exercises that I LOVE to practice , the harmonization of major and three minors diatonicly using I IV V. Thanx Nick, thank you man.

Tough to find thoroughly useful jazz lessons on KZread... Well done!

Amazing work, well done. I just bought the product. Doing triad pairs and lines over various standards, going outside, etc would be something else I would buy.

I'm really blown away by the quality of this vid. Amazing job dude

Haaaa :D As always, it's such a groovy presentation of the stuff, so it's unreal to stop playing this exercises! Thank you for such a great job, Nick!

Really knocks me off! Far away from my skills, full of wonder and promises - keeps me exploring these dimensons. Thx.

The best jazz teacher!

Absolutely brilliant lesson - thanks so much for all your hard work!

Extremely instructive and enjoyable! Well done!!

Wonderful video!! It opens the door to a hole not-linear world of jazz improvisation. it makes you play as a pro...FINALLY!!!! Thank you...

Just amazing teaching, amazing approaches and amazing everything!

Lovely, lovely sounds!

Great and inspiring as usual! You’re an awesome teacher!

I absolutely love this! As a classical trained musician, I have no Idea how to improvise. Thank you so much for showing the sheet music in your video (and for download)! This is exactly what I was looking for!

Brilliant, brilliant. Thank you for so many great ideas. I am in awe. *Edit to say:* Video format and editing and quality is absolutely superb. Even down to the little static in the voiceover.

F...ING! BEST! CHANNEL! thanx for all that work!

I'm not even a sax player (not anymore at least) and this is one of the best vids I've seen to break that stale improvising plateau

Brilliant as it’s usual!!!!

Great piece of music! And it works!

just… wow! This video alone will provide years of lines practice!!! :-) Thanks

Most usefull video I've ever seen in last couple of years.

Just fantastic! Grande Nick

Superb. A great addition to my practice routine!

Nick you have a great tone and play your soprano very well. Excellent. Thank you for the great lesson.

Awesome! I love these etudes.

My next challenge. Thank you so much!!!

Wonderful Nick, so creative

Love this lesson Nick. Thanks. Keep them coming. Off to the shed

AMAZING..... The way to learn ..and fun. Great!!!!!

Very very useful, thanks for sharing...

From Chile, thanks a lot my friend, you are awesome your knowledge is deep about teaching!

This is brilliant, Nick!! Your method is both fun and effective. Keep up the wonderful work. I would love to see you make a video on simple ideas to play "outside" for short phrases using arpeggios (dominants and/or diminished). This has always challenged me. I hear beautiful passages in lots of music where the soloist steps outside on an arpeggio and it sounds awesome!

Awesome teacher.

wow this video is awesome!! great info and I love the video production itself!!

WOW! What a great lesson...!

Amazing! I love it! Thank you!

Brilliant. Life changing.

Man this is just great stuff!! Thank you very much for this

Great video! I especially love that floating 13th that you end your phrase on over the Gminor at 6:01. :)

Nice job. Thank you for explaining with this example.!!

Awesome. Thank you!!!!

Thank you!! You're an amazing teacher.
