The greatest asset to any pianist who wishes to play jazz is a good bass player. Without a bass player who knows tunes and chords, you as the pianist had better not drop, omit, or let go of the root tones of chords. My primary teacher was Red Garland--but it was rare that I found a bass player who could play the Paul Chambers role, so I grudgingly accepted solo jobs. My discovery was that solo piano works best for ballads and bossa novas (or whatever latin beat you choose). For straight-ahead swinging, the solo pianist is confronted with an enormous challenge. Very few guys can play walking bass in the left hand while improvising independently in their right. Dave McKenna is one of the few pianists who mastered the technique. For many of us, the best bet is to rely on "implied" 4/4 swing. Bill Evans does so with great success, partly because his right hand is so busy, creative and inventive that we don't notice the absence of a walking-bass in the left hand. Still, I'm afraid I've heard few pianists who could match Bill Evans' right handed work. In his interview with Marian McPartland on "Piano Jazz" even Bill Evans himself admits that, although he respects solo piansts more than piano trios, he lacks the "necessary tools" to be a great solo pianist. But listen to favorite recordings, write down the notes, and try to come as close to the original as you can. Jazz isn't easy. It's a tradition, and you can't play it unless you know the history of piano styles--from Jelly Roll and Earl Fatha Hines to Teddy Wilson and Nat Cole to Bud Powell and Thelonious Monk to Red Garland and Wynton Kelly to Monty Alexander and Gene Harris and, finally, to Dave McKenna and Bill Evans. (Notice that I didn't include Oscar Peterson or Art Tatum. Listen to them, but don't knock yourself out just because you're not a genius. You can learn more practical and applicable stuff from listening to guys who are on a lower shelf than Oscar and Art.)

My piano teacher when I was a kid was this eccentric old fellow who always had tons of anecdotes to tell, but more importantly, tons of good advice to make your life easier when it comes to playing. One thing he told me is that in many common progressions made up of just the tonic, dominant, and subdominant, the subsequent chords will always have two notes in common, so I only have to move one finger at a time if I choose the right inversions. In other progressions it might not always happen, but there's still a lot of overlap to take advantage of. Now I wish I had a piano or at least a synth in my apartment because I miss it and the guitar isn't as fun.

Hey! This is great guide, and a good concept to learn. However, I feel like this might be more useful for intermediates who understand voicing as a concept, because the way you teach it is applicable only to songs with that specific chord progression. As a classical pianist who self taught himself jazz over years, I found that these concepts are only useful if you understand them in the larger context (why the 3rd and 7th? What's so special about them? What to do with songs with different chord progressions?). I know your intention is to teach a useful tool, not music theory, but once you understand the idea of voicing, the importance of each part of the chord, it's easier to take this tool farther, it's easier to just open a real book and try learning songs randomly once you understand *how* to break apart the chords, it's hard to deal with complicated songs if you only know the tool and you don't understand why it sometimes works. To reiterate, I liked the video. this is useful for me. I teach music and this technique is something I can use to teach better what my hands know better than my brain. But I'd still, at least, make sure to explain that there's some basic concepts that fuel this specific technique, so anyone can try looking those up and not just copy & paste. I subscribed. Love to see me more content, hope my criticism makes some sense :)
