Great! The way you improvised it sounds so nice. I hope you could record some music like this.
These kind of -jazzy- chords take time to get but they offer more colour or feeling than the more standard chords. One thing that I find useful for interpreting extension numbers (still getting used to them!) is just to subtract 7, so for example if you read G9 then you have the second note in G major, that is, A, in the chord

Excellent advice! I think this is one of the essential skill for any well-rounded musician, like transposing a song. Mainly classical trained musicians stick to their keys and sheet music and feel lost when asked to play from a lead sheet. Great to hear encouraging content like this from someone outside the -holy realm- of jazz! Cheers so much!

Very helpful video, thank you. Especially the introduction on how to build cords.
I'd be interested to learn how playing from lead sheets would change if there was more the one instrument, for example one person playing the harmony on the piano and another playing the melody on a sax or violin.

A good parallel topic which is untouched is this: -What is jazz? Here is something considered jazz. And /here is something NOT considered jazz/. And here is the difference between these two examples.- Not even jazz professors or jazz student players can answer this question.

Oh, wow, from 11 just brilliant, it made me smile with delight, so nice. That F#m7 is also A6, correct? And the F#m7b5 is Am6, am I correct, I hope so. Where does the B in the melody come into this chord. Sus4!-
Thanks again, so great.

Had you practised those versions beforehand or were they improvised? That sounded so good!!! As a classical musician I rarely do this kind of stuff and would love to get into it.

Hi Gareth, Thanks for your very helpful videos. One thing I'm a bit confused about is the Bm7(flat 5) ... does a minor chord with a flat 5 not become a diminished chord?
