Are there gaps to your Jazz theory knowledge?
Here's some common signs:
-
"I lack confidence in my musical ability."
-
"I'm self-taught and never had formal training."
-
"I learn mostly on YouTube watching random videos in no particular order."
-
"I tend to switch topics whenever a lesson gets advanced."
-
"I learn through multiple teachers and have never stuck with one teacher to the end."
The real cause of 'Bland' Playing...
Before I learned Jazz theory, ALL of my playing sounded BLAND.
My compositions sounded bland (no matter how long I worked on them).
![Julian Bradley sitting with pen and sheet music](https://jazztutorial.com/media/site/0414f6cab3-1720654907/julian-bradley-jazz-piano-jazz-tutorial.jpg)
You see, if you don't learn Jazz theory - your playing can only sound bland, 'vanilla', and the same as everyone else.
It's learning theory that's the 'secret sauce' to sounding sophisticated.
That's what makes Jazz musicians stand out and sound way more interesting than any other style (in my opinion). It's that they know theory.
Learning Theory makes your playing sound sophisticated
You can't hide it when you know Jazz theory.
People can HEAR IT in your playing (even the non-musicians).
You clearly know what you're doing.
In fact, you'll never be able to compose anything complex until you learn Jazz theory.
Learn Jazz Theory from the ground up
Until recently, all of my Jazz lessons were scattered across hundreds of YouTube videos...
Everything was out of order, no structure, just random lessons.
So to organize all of my training in one place - I've written a complete e-book called 'Jazz Theory Explained - Once and For All'.
This book is 100 pages of concise step by step instruction, teaching you Jazz theory from the ground up.
Years of Jazz Lessons condensed into one book
I've condensed YEARS of my own Jazz piano education into one concise e-book - which you can race through in a matter of days.
'Jazz Theory Explained' teaches you much of what I teach across hours of YouTube videos - but it's organized in one place.

I wrote 'Jazz Theory Explained' to give you complete confidence in your musical ability as a Jazz pianist.

Keep the e-books coming!” - Ed Marsh, USA.

"When I decided to learn jazz piano 5 years ago, I searched high and low for a competent teacher who could lead me along the trail of developing a JAZZ SOUND. I lucked in to Julian Bradley on YouTube, watched every video he presented, made copious notes and went through the horrors of “oops, which video did he use to show his favorite major 7th voicing”. All of that is in the past as Julian has now published the most understandable explanation of the complexities of Jazz Piano and Theory. Terrific and easy to understand, what every visitor to your videos is praying for – a true GOLDMINE!” - Ray Huckell, Toronto.
