Really glad it helped! Yes, there’s a a funny kind of gulf between the classical mindset and the improvisatory mindset (in my head, not least; speaking for myself I almost see the piano as two different instruments when I’m in each of those “modes”) but getting into improv isn’t hard - it’s just about imposing limits on yourself to start with and then building things up from there. There’s loads of other stuff like this on my channel, so do have a look at that, and give me a shout if I can help!

Improvisation unfortunately stems from the inside. The inner ear. Tutorials like these are good, but they assume you already can hear and create melodies in your mind. Without that understanding first of all, these types of things will not help.

Really? Sounds very interesting. I'm pretty new but I can improvise quite well, but I come from a guitar background and I think playing guitar really helps with writing melodies and improvising (especially rock songs that contain lots of riffs and solos) I noticed that the piano makes it way easier to learn music-theory than the guitar, however playing classical songs still seems like a godly thing to do.

@georghennen911

@@wolfgangamadeusmozott6229 im not very sure. Jazz theory is very relative, because it was just the try of explaining and integrating Jazz in the already existing European tonal system. Dsus4/Eb is not wrong, it is a correct name for this collection of notes. But usually sus-chords are linking chords like secondary dominants, or tritone-subs and here are just 2 chords. And calling this chord a rootless F13 implies more of the harmonic relation, because F-major is the subdominant of the C-major scale and the harmonic functional notes are described.

I think this video is a good example of beginner improvisation. When I would try to improvise something it would sound bland and repetitive, and I think that’s a good thing to realize. That’s something I noticed in this video. It’s simple and doesn’t overload your brain with too many notes, chords, key, whatever it is (mostly because it’s in the key of C, very simple) . It’s a good introduction to show people that “Hey! It might not sound pretty at first but if you can make it sound interesting, then you’re on a good path!

Bill, loved your video on improvisation. One question which has always puzzled me - how do you keep track of all the rhythms? There is the metronome (1) which is 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4. There is the left hand (2) which is once every 8 beats and finally there is the right hand (3) which might be 1+2 3+4 1 2 3+4+. That' 3 three very different rhythms to keep track of while you are deciding which notes to play. There must be a trick of some sort musicians use. Love to hear from you.
@BillHilton
2 жыл бұрын
Hey Robert - sorry for the delay getting back to you! Really it comes down to automaticity: rather than consciously keeping track of those individual beats and rhythms, you train yourself to do some (or all) of them unconsciously or semi consciously. So, for example, the left hand here I don't really have to think about at all, because I've practised left hands like it so many times that I just have to decide what I do and my hands do the rest (which isn't to say I never make mistakes). I don't know if you drive a car, but it's kind of like that: if you're driving along and want to, for example, turn right, then you go through a whole bunch of very different actions simultaneously or in quick succession (brake, declutch and change gear if you're in a manual transmission, check your mirror, indicate, look out for pedestrians and other traffic, turn the wheel etc etc). You could no way do all those things if you had to think about them all, but you've practised and automated to such a degree that you don't have to think, so your brain is freed up for making the "big" decisions ("I'll turn right now"). Exactly the same principle is at work with this kind of piano playing. Does that make sense?

Actually you should start with single tones without any harmonies. Forget about chords, only play base notes in the left hand until you can play single tones together. Once you are comfortable, it will be easy to add the notes of the chord in the left without effecting the right hand's independence. Hope trying this helps.
