"as long as it sounds good to you, you can go for it" probably the best advice ever

[jeremiahspassion]

Love your personality. Also, love the way you teach. Clear and helpful.

When are you making more videos?!

[atlastargon]

Lisa is my absolute favorite, especially when she does emotional emphasizing, my word... She's so great and breaks it down into sections. Teaching you intermediate to advance techniques to absolute beginners... I try to to watch others yet, she's been the most effective. I improvise and it sounds beautiful every time

[mariejones]

Such a great help for us beginners who does not have the means to take paid lessons but would really wanna learn a new skill. Thanks again and God bless!

[fernandoherranz]

You probably hear this a lot but you really have inspired me and so many others! I've picked up piano as a 52 year old (bassist and guitarist for many years) and if it weren't for you and your videos, I may not have stuck it out this long! You 'da best! (Can't help it, I'm from Chicago! LOL!)

[funkjunkyg]

really like your teaching style .it's so accessible and straight to the point. we'll done

[dbboi]

I really appreciate what you are doing, your teaching that you called "HACK" is exackly what I'm doing on playing keys and I thought I was wrong until I saw your teaching and confirmed that my playing is fine. Because I'm a self taught musician and always breaking the rules on piano playing. You are so wonderful and awesome, I'll give you my respect!

[michalegraves]

8:45 on made me cry! That was beautiful. I'm so thankful for these lessons. Bless you.

Great stuff Lisa, No1 my girl ! Very interesting to move from a simple chord progression and onto the passing notes and sus chords, etc which really transforms the progression.I've always wanted to know how to enhance the chords.Many thanks

well... thankyou. When you played that at the end to show the outcome, it made me giggle with happiness. Started learning the piano not long ago and your videos makes a lot of sence and are easy to follow. Thank again!

[nhacxuamotthoienho]

You are an wonderful teacher. I really like the passing notes that reminds me of the song Let It Be by the Beatles, one of my favorite. Thanks a lot for your amazing teaching.

[stephenlim]

Lisa, bashoya spasiba. You are really impressive with chords management. I am enjoying your lessons and can't quit practicing what you have demonstrated. Thanks again!

[Toppitmanilikeit]

Thank you Lisa. Really informative and interesting to realise some of the most basic chords can sound so great with passing notes and sus chords included too. Inspiring and most helpful.
Best redgards to you. Really appreciate the time you take! Great stuff.

[thinguyenngoc]

Thank you for your lessons. One of the things that make your tutorials preferred over others is that your voice is very pleasing to the ear, also the way you present information is clear, simple and genuine. I'd rather learn from you than from anyone else.
