8 Tips for Being AWESOME at Stride Piano [Jazz Piano Tutorial]

These 8 tips are based on my own study of Fats Waller, Art Tatum, Scott Joplin, Oscar Peterson, and other stride piano greats.

Man that explanation you gave at 3:16 was amazing. I never realized simply walking tenths made it sound so "true" so to speak. And the way you added in the right hand was awesome

0:00-0:18 Tasty as fuck dude, that's the sound I want to get in my ballad and standards playing. One of my long term goals is to be able to seamlessly transition between the different styles of jazz piano throughout a performance. Eg. going from rubato Bill Evans kinda intro to Erroll Garner style head then bebop then stride at the end of solo.

I'm struggling to play jazz and this video was really helpful. I always wanted to learn how to play stride, you are really clear in your explanations. Thank you!

Now I think that I could eventually teach myself to play tunes like Ain' Misbehavin, Satin Doll and similar pieces at a moderate tempo.

Really great video. Really useful tips and techniques. Thanks Noah.

[jonamore]

is there a substitude for tenths? My Hands are literally too small for it - octave, no problem. Very unfortunate because tenths sound arewome!!

[William_sJazzLoft]

Hey Noah! Isn't it always the very simple devices that are overlooked??? That one little technique of using tenths in the left hand produced a quantum leap in my understanding of how to produce that seasoned sound of a stride player. It's another excellent video. Thanks Will

Solo un po' più lento per favore... 😊❤️ Fantastico...

[tonycardinal]

Awesome. Is the music in the first few seconds of the video transcribed in one of your lessons?

[markhendershot]

Noah, all your lessons are great, where is the best place for newbie to start, do you have an ordered number to follow?

[DamienLeloup]

[danieloliver]

Great detail, you totally nailed the feel. 6ths are name of the game with this style !

[maurizioghezzer]

Impossibile per me prendere do e mi... Posso solo suonarli uno subito dopo l altro... 😊👍

[davidmarks]

This was very interesting. I do greatly prefer older music. Walking base and walking those 10ths I will try that ty.
