Awesome information
Thankyou
Thanks Ronald – I’m glad you enjoyed the seminar.
I underestimated the editing time needed for these lessons, but the course has just been published here: https://www.pianogroove.com/jazz-piano-lessons/whole-step-251-exercises/
The 5 lessons are the concepts we covered in this seminar with full notation examples. I will be adding to this course with lots of cool new drills and exercises. More to follow.
Cheers and enjoy the lessons!
Hayden

Hi Ken,
The 1st 5 lessons in the course have been published, check them out here: https://www.pianogroove.com/jazz-piano-lessons/whole-step-251-exercises/
There are 3 more advanced lessons in the pipeline which will be edited and added to the course shortly.
Cheers,

Excellent!!!! I can’t wait to take the course!
Thanks Celia.
I’m just catching up on my editing backlog and I have published the first draft of the course here: https://www.pianogroove.com/jazz-piano-lessons/whole-step-251-exercises/
More to follow shortly :–)
Cheers and enjoy the lessons!
Hayden
I am looking forward to the new course.
Hi Tom,
Apologies for the delay, the first 5 lesson are now available here: https://www.pianogroove.com/jazz-piano-lessons/whole-step-251-exercises/
More advanced lessons to follow.
Cheers,
Hayden
The video breaks up a lot and gets stuck on a repeat at around point 25. Is it just mine or is there some issue with the recording.
Yes the problem is the video. Hayden should have the website links up in a day or two and I’m sure the format will be concise, crisp and clear.
Is the new course related to this lesson out yet?I cannot find it. This seminar also needs chapters. Thank you
I can”t find it either. Hayden says he will post it the same day or the next. That was a week ago. Something must have happened. I hope he is okay.
Hi Edwin,
The chapters have now been added.
Cheers,
Hayden
Hi Rick,
There is a slight skip throughout the recording, this is due to insufficient internet bandwidth where I was hosting the stream. It’s not ideal but hopefully you can still get some actionable points from the seminar.
The audio and visual is all synced when I watch it back, please let me know if you are experiencing any other issues and I will investigate further.
I will ensure my internet connection is sufficient for future seminars to avoid the skip.
Also check out the course where these drills are covered in more detail with better visual, audio, and in-video notation.
Cheers,
Hayden
Hi guys,
I’m currently investigating the tech issue – the video plays fine for me but I have received other error reports via email on this video, so something is not working as it should be.
I have forwarded it to our tech guys to diagnose and fix the issue.
Please excuse my tardiness in posting the lessons. The editing and notation stages took much longer than I had envisaged when I was delivering the seminar.
Here is the first series of lessons on this topic: https://www.pianogroove.com/jazz-piano-lessons/whole-step-251-exercises/ – these lesson are closely linked to the contents of the seminar but with full notation examples.
I will also add the chapters to this seminar first thing in the morning.
Enjoy the lessons!
Cheers,
Hayden
Thanks, Hayden. Glad you’re doing well.
Hi Tom,
I have just added the chapters – again apologies for the delay on this.
I’m catching up on everything this weekend!
Cheers,
Hayden
Hayden,
I’ve had my go ’rounds with ii-V-I’s over the years. A while back I ran across your class on the Chet Baker ii-V-i which was excellent and got me to put ii-V-i’s back into my regular practice. This live session however really provided clarity on the subject. Great display of both simplifying the topic with some really cool sounding voicing’s that make you want to practice them.
After peaking my interest, I went straight over to your new course on ii-V-I’s and its a gem. Anyone who see’s this live session really must follow it up by viewing the new ii-V-I courses. Especially helpful is the sharp #11 dominant 7 chord drill. Thanks for yet another angle with which to break the mystery of sounding good on the piano.
