This is the first teacher iv found on the net who actually instructs in a way an absolute beginner can follow. Thanku!

I played piano for like 8 years growing up and no one explained scales to me like this - I was just told to memorize. Thank you for breaking it down!! It’s making learning again so much easier

[bboyudon]

this video just leveled me up. all these youtube piano tutorials and no one has ever broken it down like this. the real-time thing is great, thanks man

I am very impressed the way you teach. I've been playing for 10 years and self taught but the way I learned isn't the correct way to play. So I basically have to relearn everything. I tried so many virtual teachers and my opinion is that they go very fast and give me no time to think or process what is being taught. But you take your time and explain everything very transparently. You're a big help and please keep doing what your doing! I will be subscribing!

Before this video I thought that it's impossible to become a self-taught pianist, but now I convinced of the opposite. Thanks a lot! And hello from Russia! :)

[marnacouvedemurville]

Thank you for this fantastic video. I have just, at the age of 67 bought a keyboard and started a life long wish to teach myself to play the piano. This video is very beginner friendly and goes at a nice pace and gives me a taste of what is to come with lots of practice.

YOU ARE GENIUS! I am a new learner, having took a few lessons here and there. After watching your video, the the C-Major scale has finally clicked in my head and FINGERS! I can finally do it with no mistakes with both hands!

[sekoyumee]

Even after going to a music school, I somehow learned more from your video:)
Thanks a bunch, dude!

[Moondancer]

As a player who knows the scales I still watched this video as it’s always possible to learn something new, and I did. Loved the pattern at the end, made the scale sound so interesting. Thank you, as usual.

[parvsharma]

Bro u are the best piano teacher...I searched and searched but couldn't find a proper online teacher. Then I found your videos. Thanks a lot. U really are amazing teacher🙏🇮🇳

[cherryplayspiano]

Thanks! I’ve learned and given up on playing piano so many times over the years (even made this account years ago and gave up once again) because nobody ever taught me the trick to scale patterns. I was just given charts to memorize (this is C, this is G, this is A, etc.)

I felt like a whole new world opened up when you taught the whole step 3 half step 1 pattern. Now I feel like I know the scales!

[DemocratsareagentsofSATAN]

I watch these while at work so I go home motivated to play!!! Just got my first 88key keyboard a month ago....never played, can't read music...

your videos have helped tremendously, I still can't play much....but just being able to play a "chord" was something I couldn't do a month ago....(or even knew what the heck a chord even

Thank you for the time you've taken to create these videos!!

[workingtitle]

You had me at “coffee” and kept my attention the entire time. REALLY easy to follow and retain. Thank you so much for doing this! Finally learning piano proper at 30 something!

[Izoto_o]

I’m not even an *absolute* beginner but he’s still helped so much that I’m starting think I was an absolute beginner

[mattsymes]

I've been trying to get back into piano for years, but always get frustrated because scales seem boring, but having you play in the background just made me fall in love with it anyway. so great

[garthsmith]

Love to watch this guy, 2 weeks now and really confident at following his lead.

[TheButterflySoulfire]

Thank you! I’ve watched so many piano tutorials on YouTube, but never felt like I learned anything until now. You are a great teacher!

[nakulraina]

This guy is the reason im able to play piano with the flow and i wish he should teach how to play guitar ... tgat will too help a lot of people

[PotatoFarmer]

Thank you for this! I’m a beginner, and I’ve been mostly doing exercises just to get familiarized with the piano and to work on my left hand independence, but I haven’t actually tried “learning” seriously (scales, sight reading, chord progression, music theory in general, etc.). This video is a godsend, and you’re a very good teacher!
