How to Play Vibes like Oscar Peterson Part II - Rolls, Pedals, and Bouncy Block Chords

Hello everyone!

I’m going to be posting two lessons a week for a little bit, so I hope you like piano-isms! This one’s actually a Part II to my original one on Oscar Peterson. It delves into a few more idiosyncrasies characteristic to his playing.

I mentioned a few recordings in this video, so I’ll link to youtube versions here:

How to Play Vibes like McCoy Tyner - Fourths, Modes, and Quartal Structures

Hello everyone,

This is my fourth "How to Play Vibes Like" lesson. And I should be doing 8 more this coming month, so if anyone has any suggested pianists to cover, let me know. So far, I plan on having George Shearing, Benny Green, Count Basie, Monk, and a second part to my Oscar Peterson lesson.

I'm hoping everything I talked about in this lesson made sense. It can be tricky stuff, so please ask questions if you don't understand something. And listen to his music, specifically "Passion Dance" and "Blues on the Corner" to hear these concepts in action.

Thanks!
