I've been a classical pianist for over 10 years now, and I've always thought jazz is impossible. This video was so perfectly clear and simple I was shocked at actually succeeding to implement this. Thank you so much!

[JJ-zojv]

Literally 20 seconds in and I know this is gonna be a game changer

[akcel]

I learned more in twenty minutes than in several hours! You are a genius at teaching! Everything seems so easy when we listen to you play and explain with passion how to do it. Really, what a talent!

[brianwillett]

Finally!! Somebody made jazz understandable for me. You, my friend, have opened up a whole New World to me. I’ve been playing piano for 50 years, and I’ve always wanted to play jazz, but I would get confused anytime I started. So once again, thank you.

[TehSilencerzz]

By showing these tricks you have demystified a lot of jazz improv for me! Thanks alot!

[aktasluna]

I am a classical pianist & composer and I am so interested in playing jazz. I improvise everyday, sometimes it sounds jazzy sometimes very classical and sometimes quite contemporary. Your videos and sheet music help me a lot. Thank you very much dude, I am just so grateful to you. You know how to teach!

This is best improvisation tutorial I'm aware of. Now it seems way more approachable. Thanks 😊

[danf]

This is amazing, I was having so much trouble figuring out where to start and getting overwhelmed by scales but this feels so much more clear now!!

[justinebach]

The most honest lesson about Jazz on YouTube.

[BellchambersMusic]

Great to see you on another superb video Julian. Your clear, no unnecessary frills attached approach cuts through to the chase and are fabulous for players and teachers.

[adrianmwalija]

Used to think I needed to memorize all those different types of scales to be able to improvise but now you have made my life simple.Awesomeness

[richardjordan]

I think Julian just took me from a beginner jazz pianist to a professional in 19:45 seconds... God Bless you sir for your kindness and sharing with us!! Gonna digest your vids for sure!! Thanks for teaching with such clarity!

I feel like this vid could be titled "Pro Piano for Beginners!!" Hehe!!

[davesattic]

Wow! I have been trying to get jazz improv under my fingers for years with lessons that were over my head and you made it so simple.I sat down at the piano after this short lesson and got immediately. Thanks

[pgtips]

The content you put out Julian is second to none! You completely demystify complicated subjects and make them accessible to those willing to just practice. Thanks for this amazing video.

This was an absolutely fantastic dive into improv. I have about 13 years of classic local music training but after starting jazz this was the one thing really holding me back. This is super helpful for making it sound great while still letting you understand the theory!
