What R&B/funk/groove tune would you like me to do next?

[russellsnead]

The musicianship on all 3 albums is crazy. The greatest 3 album output since Wonder.

[klipmitgarn]

Great tutorial. This songs become so much more of a beast when you realize Charlie Hunter played the bass, melody AND THE SOLO on the same instrument at the same time!

[SelectahPegman]

Really nice to see more Soul/Funk/Gospel oriented stuff

[AllanKoayTC]

the 90s were a great time for soul music. so many new sounds and attitudes. D'Angelo, Maxwell, Erykah Badu ... and acid jazz in the UK. seemed like every week, we got something new.

[Neoanalogism]

Excellent, please more D'Angelo.

[amadrius]

More groove based stuff like this, please!

[tonyjr_]

more dangelo please! my favorite musician of all time learning his songs have taught me so much. Amazing video !

[silencemonkk]

plz do more on the neo-soul classics!🔥

[LA-cyzj]

someone may passively watch this and believe its easy

sitting down to do it and sound nearly as good as what you present is a challenge
thanks for your contribution to online music learning fr man

[stevenvo]

Knowledgeable, digestible, and with true attention to detail. Viva Peter & Open Studio!

[TheGrowingDutchman]

One of my favorite tracks. This is gold right here. Much appreciated!

Peter you play better on this than some of the greatest masters ever i stg

everything about every one of your lessons is present in your demonstrations.

I aspire to learn everything you teach and play with as much clarity as this

i mean better than the greatest masters


you are truly the greatest jazz master of your generation and this video utterly proves it

We need more of this @pianopeter! more D'Angelo and Gospel Stuff. Been following your channel for years, love everything you guys do

Peter! I'm in rehearsal for a gig with my band and your name comes up during rehearsal 🎶. James Ward, Bassist says PETER MARTIN. I knew him from back in school. He stood this high... he puts his hand mid chest. I said, I LOVE Peter. That's my boy! You are the man. Crazy love from KC out to you and Adam. So much content, this little jazz flute/vocalist loves your content. Outstanding content... big fan! Loving this post... you got that Groove authority Thang. Yes baby.

[quentinmorales]

You really have great musicality, very tasteful playing. I say it again but I'd totally buy a rnb, neo soul-ish, funk piano course on open studio if you teach it

[muttmuttmutt]

absolutely love all of the open studio vids. I've only been following for a few months and have already seen an enormous improvement in a few areas. Just a thought: an overhead view of the Rhodes instead of from the side would make learning fingerings easier in my opinion. Thanks Peter and Adam!

[brucesstreet]

Just love those funky jazz vamps❤ Great lesson.

[patocontrerasc]

Fun fact here, Guitar and bass are played by Charlie Hunter in this song (at the same time)

[Qwazimd]

Great video. Been loving the new series of videos from Peter.
