The title sounded too ambitious, but the first minute proved it was no joke

You’re really an amazing pianist. I grew up on Art Tatum. You’re the only one I know who can teach it. I never thought it was possible to play like him. You make it look really easy!

Thanks it’s so rare to find these kind of videos. Or any kind of tutorial involving tatum

[GodCreatedMankind]

The fact that you understand the logic behind Art Tatum's playing and you can break it down for us mere mortals is proof that you're a replica of him.

I always admired Oscar Peterson for his genuine respect for Art Tatum despite his own obvious exceptional ability. Your tutorial demonstrates a similar 'modesty ' in as much as apart from the extremely helpful teaching elements, you clearly belong to the top drawer in your own right! Thanks for sharing.

You have done the unthinkable and been able to give us insignificant beings a glimpse of Art's God tier technique...thank you so much.

Awesome video Noah! you've really become one of my favourite youtubers/instagrammers over this lockdown period, I've finally made some decent progress in my jazz piano skills thanks to your videos. Keep dropping these absolute gems!!

That's incredible. This is a terrific video! It won't be that easy to play like he does. Also, the speed he achieves is amazing.

I always womdered what he was thinking when he does that last harmonic trick.

Its simple when u do it but obviously when he does it.... he puts it in crazy places that make it sound bananas!!


Great video!!!

Noah, I really enjoyed the fact you are remembering a great one. Art Tatum was a legend. What I find amazing is his improvisational skills. Thank you very much

[Bashanvibe]

I really enjoyed this!!! I love it when keyboard players say the full names of the chords but you also shared the fingerings.

You are an excellent teacher. I've been playing my entire life and I love the way you explain how it works because you understand it very well.

[CortezBurt]

The fact that you can break down Art Tatum's playing, shows what a monster pianist you really are!!!!

I ran across this video, looked on your store, saw Full Collection Bundle, saw Black Friday coupon. Rest is history. Just got through a few of the PDFs + videos and there is an incredible amount of quality content here! It's like unlocking the second half of the map in a video game. Stuff I always knew was there, but didn't know how to get there. Thanks, Noah!

To others who don't want to buy the full pack, the Stride Exercises book is really juicy!
