This is a good way of looking at this, I agree, I have experienced this. As I’ve been playing a long time, my focus is finally on being musical at all times, and you can only do that once you got it, not when you’re learning it.

That's a great tip to pass on, thanks

Keith Jarrett?

good ragtime lesson,afterwoods it change the beat to modern stride which was more relaxed and not so rigid.thanx

thanx

Just finished the third part. Very nice tutorial, so helpful! Thx 🙏

Brilliant! Great learning as usual. (Took me a while to find this last part not sure why).

Love this song can't play it yet

Thank you

you are the best

This is so exciting!! I have just started really playing piano after many years of other instruments. My early memories are of listening to ragtime . I'm so grateful for your clear lessons!! Thank you!!

How dare you play better with one finger than I can play with my whole hand!😂

Molto bello , continua così

This pattern seems to work for 6/4 or 3/4 time. Not really for 4/4 time...

What does "internal jokebox" or "internal piano" mean?

Informative video! 😊

Great! 😊

Great. Thanks again Dan. I need to park that ego.

In the key of C, for example, you mention Fmaj7 to Fmin6 then "up a fourth" to Bb7. By saying up a fourth, you're using the key of Fmaj as your reference point. A different way to look at it would be the calling the Bb7 a b7x of C and this a back door dominant that gets you back to the Cmaj. Not sure if one way or the other is "correct" or if it is whatever works for you ? I love the idea of mentally rehearsing away from the piano.

I've always played lyrically according to the words I SING with my fingers. Which would be in a bit of an issue if I had a band or orchestra behind me and no conductor.... Rather than a bar number I'm in my mind, at a certain phrase of words. LoL 😊

It might be in the wrong key but still really good

Wow bro, what a video. I’m not anywhere near playing like this, but this is something I’ve always wanted to do. Now, you have shown me how, using this amazing song as an example! Thank you so much bro.

Thanks again Dan.

Fantastic video........great summary

amazing :)

Thanks Dan. Piano can seem daunting sometimes but this broke it down into something much easier to digest.

🙏

Thanks!

This is absolutely a brilliant take on how to personalize and add variety to a charming tune. Really learned a lot about Harmony. Thanks!

It's sounds like a dig deep music🎉😂😂

Thank you Dan this stuff is great, in a song that’s a little bit harder for me to grasp. Great job dissecting and explaining.

Love ur videos Dan. Very underrated I think

Hope you’re doing well, Dan! Here to thank you for all you’ve taught me over the years. If you’re still uploading, might you be able to do a tutorial for all of me? Would love to hear your version.

Your comments about the ego really ring true with me. I'm also learning guitar but have been struggling to make progress and I think my ego could be holding me back for the reasons you explained. Does the ego contribute positive stuff too?

I think exercises like this should be played with a very consistent touch and rhythm and not inconsistently.

Tocas re bien

This vidéo is wonderful but a little complicate because I'm french. Thanks. Jean from Toulouse (France)

This is useful to say

Hi Dan, perhaps you missed my question so here goes: Which blues scale do you recommend to drill (for improvisation), major or minor blues scale? In all keys I presume? I get a bit confused which one is more helpful or if I need both. It seems you use the minor one only right? Thx again!

A short and nice video lesson on two licks to feel “blue” , thanks Dan. RH “b3” & “b5” “gliss” also go well with LH two Jazz voicings i.e. “3-b7-9” and “b7-3-13” to feel more blues. 👍👍

Great, a new one for practice time! ps: I keep getting confused which blues scale to use. Am I right that you suggest playing the minor blues scale here? Or, in general? I've watched quite a bit of your video's and always hear you talk about major scales. As a beginner this focus on major scales has helped me a lot as I can play all major keys reasonably well. Natural minor is just starting on the six so no drilling of minor keys for me so far. But with the blues I get confused. thx:)

Please re-upload the video because the audio is out of sync. We hear the sound before your finger touches the keys. Thanks, please don't mind

Question please answer Dan: is the exercise 3 mos per finger? So like 12 per hand !? Really

Nice... stretching my grey matter. 😊

Thank you so much Kudos to your patience!!

Thank you, Dan. I really like the recent video lesson “My Favorite Chord in Each Key”. It may be a bit advance perhaps to some . I like your chord type for F#. LH chord and RH chord seemingly have some tension. Here is what I like about F#. I will play F#m7b5(half diminished) LH allowed by RH with BM7, then quickly resolved by LH with Em/G. Great lesson. Much appreciated, Dan 👍👍

Thanks, Dan, for this video. Been recently practicing the major scales in all keys and needed a bit extra motivation to keep on keeping on. I knew turning to you was the nudge I needed. 👍 You also gave me a new way to "see" while practicing!
