*Correction - I accidentally said a song was called 'so glad you made it' (That's a lyric) - The title is actually 'Gimme Some Lovin' - Just getting ahead of any 'Um actually...' comments 😉

I play guitar, and I just bought a keyboard. This seems like a good channel for beginners. It's definitely a good place to start. Thanks for the instruction.

[jameslong]

You are the best piano teacher on you tube. Thank you brother

[Humanbeering]

What an incredible lesson this was, ok I am not playing these simple 3 chord blues like you but it is sounding a bit like I am on the right track and this was within an hour, keep up the good work.

[xgtdgge]

Nice. Playing scales on keyboard piano is my favorite hobby. Thanks. 😉

[webingerphoto]

Thank you!!! You have inspired me to get my piano skills (limited) and add my harmonica ! Bravo!

[fishzebra]

Fantastic lesson, really gets to the deal of simple blues improv better than too much theory

[tinmya]

Thank you for this great lesson - and ALL your lessons! Appreciate them so much!

[bugsymcmusic]

great lesson very cool very talented 🎸

[Timetraveller]

Ive been hearing the left hand chord playing in my head all day as I recognised it as you started playing. I got relief when the song came to me:

ABBA - WHY DID IT HAVE YO BE ME.
From their Arrival album. Its a very catchy track!!
Subbed.

Thanks for all the great examples of riffs based on I IV I7. Couple of other big 60’s ones: Louie, Louie & Good Vibrations (chorus), Elton John’s early career. Someone should write a book…

[tim]

Very simple explanation to some great sounding riffs!

[jeffjohnson]

Love the blues and really want to see some instruction on slow blues with one left hand chord positions over the top of right hand licks and runs…want to start out with slow blues vs the faster rhythms of having to coordinate left with right 🎹🎶

[seamanjive]

I just can't believe how closely your guidance mirrors my own approach to keys over the last year or so. As a gigging guitarist I've already got a firm foundation and a good ear. Building piano technique was my goal. In three days since finding you site my lh/rh coordination now "works"....its like I've walked thru a door that was previously just tiny bit open to me. Thanks. One thing I'd share...none of this happens by accident, you've GOT to put in the time.

I used to play keyboards in a band when I was 15. I want to buy a fender Rhodes and learn to play some blues licks to add to my garageband guitar tracks.

[rogerdshrubber]

Excellent. More on ray. Like. What I say 💪

[eyankenwotv]

thanks for sharing, as a beginer it helps me lot

[kimaytacer]

Hey, I appreciate your Videos, really help me out learning the Piano. Would you say simply piano is good for getting the basics straight at home?
