The ABSOLUTE BEST stride piano lesson there is available. Thank you!!! We are grateful 🙏
Dude, keep it up! These are some of the best piano instruction videos I've seen on CZcams! Thank you!
Best content of stride piano on youtube
Fats Waller with Tatum peeking over his shoulder occasionally ! This is fantastic and Stijn Wauters
is fantastic. There is a joyous GENEROSITY in this music- And this instruction !
Thank you! I’m glad you like the video!
I only watched the lesson and my left hand ✋ is already getting hurt! Jokes aside this is the best lesson on the subject I have ever seen!
I find it funny how you have to your legs bounce to counteract the wild jumping of your left hand when you really get up to speed! Great video as always 👍
Compliments you are Super Thx 1000 times
Great exercises to build a good technique. Reminds me of my mentor Jaki Byard.
😬👍 wait for your rolled tenths... It will be great, one more time thank's a lot for your precious works and contributions (free? fabulous)
Fantastic!
stride for me is the single most difficult thing to do on the piano. Big fast jumps is something I just can't seem to get used to, no matter how much I practice. Oh, well, brilliant video as always anyway :)
Yes, this makes life better ❤️thanks!
That was the cleanest playing ive ever seen
Your skill is amazing! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. You make life better.
Thank you, thats so helpful
What an excellent video! Many thanks for posting!
What a great post!!!! Beautifully played and laid out to read and learn!!! Man I wish CZcams was around when I was 10!!! We're gonna have (already do) some monsters in the future with all this amazing exposure! Thanks!!!!
can't reach a tenth very well! :'(
Still, Love all your videos! Incliding this one!
Another treasure! Thank you, Mr. Wauters!
Nice guide! I do same)
it make me feel good...❤😂
So clean, so skilled, thanks so much for the lesson professor!
Thanks a lot!
c'est génial !!!!
I know these are exercises and that stride is considered old timey by some but damn it sounds cool. It provides such a nice bedrock for all the syncopated right hand stuff you’ve got going on.
Thanks a lot, Tom!
Amazing 🤩 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
I am laughing 😂 to my self what a treasure 😳

Thank you!
@@StijnWauters Thank you!
nice!
Superrr
Uffff man thank you
Hey Stijin, another great video! Marvelous. You seem to read my mind 'cause I had been trying to find a good transcription of Honeysuckle Rose. I'm kind of in a jam though because I just discovered Red Garland through the Miles Davis Cookin', Relaxin', Steamin', Walkin', etc. albums. I bought a box set of 24 albums for $24.95. Red seems to have synthesized every one's style from Bud Powell to Ahmad Jamal. Cheers!
👏
OMG I love up beat stride like dick hyman, its gave us us pecfect swing feel
Fantastic! Is there a way to get this on paper ( music sheet)
Thanks Leo! There is a download link to the sheet music in the description. This is the link: bit.ly/35xhlf5 Enjoy!
Thank you so much Stijn!! This will keep me of the street so to speak, for the next couple of months!! Thanks again!!!
How do you always know exactly what I need to work on?? I have a $200 membership to an online jazz school that doesn't present information as clearly as you ....
Do a tutorial on diminished scales
What do you play in the right hand when using stride as a comping device? The left hand by itself is harmonically complete. Is playing a riff like you did over the turnaround the best option, or would you rather use full chords or single line improv?
Hi, Rogier! I wanted to focus on the LH in this video, so in the RH I mainly played the melody of the standards (often in chords), and for the turn around exercises I played some typical RH chord-like exemples that are not too complicated to transpose.. :-) But besides playing the melody, you can of course improvise (both in chords or single line), but it’s difficult to play and improvise in the style.. I will make a video on RH stride exemples soon!
3:57 (old school turnaround) - where is it from?
Great vid(as always)but why no rootless voicings
Thank you! In this (early) stride style (Fats Waller, James P. Johnson,..) pianists use triads or 7th chords, but rootless voicings would sound too modern.
You can play rootless voicings in stride (for exemple in slower ballads), but it will sound different and you would improvise differently in the RH too..
Hello. What piano you using?
This guys hands are definitely larger than mine. Look at him hitting those 10ths! I can not reach,,, even cheating using the key edges! Granted hes also using the key edges but still hes pulling it off and I physically cannot.
👋👋👋
I really like Art Tatum’s stride piano but there are four major tenths that my left hand can’t reach (Ab, Bb, Db, Eb) and rolling every major tenth isn’t practical at tempo.
Same here, I only can reach major tenths on the white keys, and rolling tenths at a faster tempo doesn’t work for me either.. I only use tenths in ballads or at a medium tempo.
Why do you emphasize no rootless? Is that characteristic of this style you're playing? In Jazz ballads I feel like I see root + rootless voicings regularly
Rootless voicings are too modern sounding for this kind of stride. Use them if you want but it will sound post 1960s.
Stride with triads as the top chord will sound pre 1930s. With 7th chords it will sound like 1940s and 1950s. Roughly speaking.
@@RobinJWheeler Ok cool so it's just a stylistic choice, I wasn't sure if it was somehow essential to the exercise/practice routine
