Beginners: here's how to play smooth jazz piano runs

A Beginners Guide To Arpeggio Runs & Fills
In this lesson we explore arpeggio runs and fills that we can use to fill in the space when the melody rests and also to connect your melody lines played in different octaves.

Connect The Octaves with Fluidity
In the previous lessons of this course we explored playing the melody in the middle register of the piano, the higher register of the piano, and also with octave melody lines. This lesson will show you a useful technique to connect these registers together so that you can decide to change the register of the melody at any point during the performance.

I learn 300% more watching your videos than anyone else’s, you’re helping me understand jazz in a way that’s connecting concepts I couldn’t connect before. SO helpful

Excellent lesson! I learn a lot from your tutorials videos. Really appreciate your teaching and sharing!

Great lesson! Can you please tell me the name of the song.

Man, you are rocking’. I really love that dominant chord with the flatted 9th and 5th, which was slash cord with a major triad a tritone away. I was digging on that. And the voicing of the open voicing dominant diminished chord with the descending linear diminished scale run. That was really cool. Thank you. Respect.

Beautiful and very educational, thank you for the great video. Please tell us what that melody was? What's the name of the song you played and arranged? Do you have a full tutorial for this song? Greetings Jo

Way over my head lol sounds pretty and wish I could do this

Hello! Can you explain to us why you use Bb diminished scale? And do you have video about mixolydian, lydian, etc scale? Thanks

Found your channel a while ago and absolutely fell in love with the tone and your improvisation techniques. Just a quick question, so let's say if there's a spot where you can add a fill for example 7:23-7:27, you'd just play it's chord's blues scale or its relative minor scale? Is there any other scale that can fill those sort of gaps too?

Looking forward to hearing your response :))

Should all the notes of the arpeggio harmonise to the melody line (e.g. if you break the C Major into a broken chord C, E, G; does it mean that my melody line should have notes that makes up the chords of C, E and G .. to make sure there is harmony between the arpeggio and the melody line. ? Or they can both run differently?
