"Hi, I'm Austin McBride with Expert Village here to talk a little bit about keys and scales when playing jazz piano. I'll show you how to work with a few different keys and a few different scales to have a few different moods while you're writing or practicing your jazz piano. So, we'll just start out with a basic jazz scale. Here in "C", take a "C" chord, and we'll make it minor. From there we'll work with these two. This would be the fourth, and this is "F" Sharp here so, going along the scale. And with those basic keys, we are able to form all sorts of different combinations of jazz music. You can have a, here's from the "C" Minor, drop down to a "C" 7th, pull in this third note here and gain all sorts of dissident noises. But they're all basically running off of the same scale using these notes right here. You can take that and move it up a few keys. Follow the exact same pattern, whole note, whole note, so you can see it basically can run anywhere throughout the entire piano. However, it's all based on that same jazz scale and in that same slightly dissident rubbing sounds. And that's a few different scales and keys that we can work with here in jazz music."

on 4/22/2009 The big question is, of course, whether the joke's on us or on him. Nobody seems to know for sure. I think there are enough clues to convince me it's all a spoof. But, there again.....

on 3/24/2009 Even Mr McBride seems to find his his own ineptitude rather amusing in this video. C Jazz scale? How about once referring to its proper name Austin... errr ... the Blues scale? Get this nonsense off the web!
