      @@xaxaxa764 What if the source they gave was inaccurate? You still wouldn't know the truth. The "dishwasher job" tale comes from a 1951 Charlie Parker interview in Down Beat magazine. I read it myself in public library archives in 1972 while researching for a college term paper about Charlie Parker.

    Adam I want to thank you for sharing these AMAZING piano solo tips. I been playing for many years, but not schooled per se. I'm learning tons here !

  •  Před rokem +57

    Great stuff!!
    A neat trick for that first run: since the notes are all in the half/whole (octatonic) scale you can use the same run over 4 different dominant chords. Try playing it over a Db, E and G (sounds best over the G imo). Alternatively you can keep Bb in the bass but transpose the run up/down minor thirds. In fact, everything that's based on the half/whole scale can be used this way (if anyone didn't know about it yet)! Very cool.

  • @tomislavblazevic2742
    @tomislavblazevic2742 Před rokem +33

    Guys, you may also want to try D, Db, C, Bb, G, E. For the C7 chord, works great as sextuplets. Same thing for F7, starting on G. Fingering the same: 4,3,1,3,2,1.

  • @ltrizzle12
    @ltrizzle12 Před rokem +8

    I’ve always used LH 4-3-2, RH 2-3-4 fingering for Ex. #3: the ascending whole tone scale.
    THEN entirely reverse the sequence to descend.
    THEN initiate a mixture of 1, 2, 3, 4 or more (any) octave runs both up & down, continually overlapping hands, cascading up & down the piano. Good warm up and dreamy, eerie dope sound, too. 🤘

    Especially on the last one there are other good (better?) fingerings, in that snippet at the end he uses 4-3-2-1 instead, if you practice the skip from 1-4 that might let you do it faster in the end. Just something to keep in mind for anyone reading this.

    @ScarletteFiesci Před rokem +3

    So glad I found your channel. This is amazing. I am classically-trained and do you think I can do these runs. I feel that classical training actually can be quite detrimental in many ways. We tend to look at the notation too much perhaps and get totally put off by what looks to be complexity of runs. I know when I have attempted to play Chopin's Etudes etc. Sometimes I think it's better if you don't read notation frankly. So thank you so much for breaking this down in not so scary terms. Shall be recommending your channel to other pianist friends for sure.
