My former jazz piano teacher also encouraged me to do this. I haven't done it in ages because it's more difficult than it looks. You will end up having to frequently deviate from the standard fingering for each scale that you finger as you go through the changes, I guess that's the value of the routine.

My teacher taught me this method a while back, really changed things up for me. Its really called "The continuous scale"

I love how that room looks! This is one of the methods I use to practice improvising on guitar (the next step adding passing tones and the other main technique is playing chord tones).

[hernannieto]

[luvjameyr]

I am enjoying your tutorials.You have to be one of the most versed piano players if not the best when it comes to all generes of music.Do you have any tutorials that focus on reading music and becoming better at it?Thank you and keep up the great work!

Well done. Thinking horizontally (scales) on Giant Steps makes it easier than just a vertical (arpeggio) approach. I think of the notes of an Eb augmented triad (Eb, G, and B) to remember the major key centers. First descending (B to G to Eb), then ascending in II V I's. The only tricky thing is the displaced harmonic rhythm during the first section.

Wow Noah! Great stuff. Took me a bit to wrap my head/hands around, but I'm a fan.

Could you teach some cocktail jazz techniques please？Thank you

[nielsdeminitair]

I had one question about the excersice. For example if you do it over giant steps. Do you use dorian over every chord or do you use the fitting mode over the chord (like all major modus?)

[midnightantelopes]

Hi Noah, if we miss out on the early bird offer, will you eventually be making the course available for purchase to anyone afterwards? Thank you!

[andresleon]

[michaelottoguitar]

Hi Noah! great video. Do you have any information on the pricing of your Jazz Piano Secrets course. I could not find anything on your homepage. Thanks!

[jasonmagallanes]

thanks for the great information always man! just started doing this technique with my private instructor over the chord changes to Bye Bye Blackbird. im coming from a classical background so learning jazz is a whole new world for me.
was there any reason why you chose the Dorian scales when you were on the Cm and Am chord progression?
youre the man!!!

Noah, what is your understanding approach for any alterations faced? Modal interchange or chords borrowing from parallel tonalities? Maybe, both and it depends?

[willemhellebrekers]

Hi Noah. So you there is no need to keep the chord tones on the down beat?
Happy new year btw.
