Thank you. I’m 72 years old and a keyboard beginner. I very much love the blues and your video is easy to follow. Thank you for sharing.

[@monsieurbacteria1687]

That’s great, good luck with your playing!

[@adeshagarwal4004]

Wow and you still want to learn thats awesome 👍 Good luck

NEVER too late to learn

Sir I am your u tube piano beginner student. Your teaching is very great.

This is the best blues tutorial for beginners on piano. Most people use big terms and go way to fast. This channel has figured out how to talk to beginners.

[@boldcautionproductions9203]

Ha, yup. I have a really intense in-real-life instructor and I just sit at the piano and laugh the whole time - after about 10 lessons he just figured out "he may be assuming too much..." If I happen to get lucky getting something right on the first try, that does not mean I have any clue to what I am really doing at this point, too funny.

[@Hedonkeviik]

@@boldcautionproductions9203 you have a bad teacher

[@boldcautionproductions9203]

@@Hedonkeviik Well, he was a very traditional piano instructor and I'd be lying if I said I didn't use covid separation to end lessons from him and get a more contemporary instructor from Atlanta over Zoom. The first instructor was walking methodically through an Alfred's book. It had its place but the second instructor was more about sound shaping, chords, getting hands independence.

[@mumalam672]

I had to slow down the playback to understand what he was doing.

[@randman21]

I know a lesson is really good when I can’t wait to put my hand on a keyboard! And that last bit you said about being in smoky rooms is so true. These simple lessons can set off a world of creativity. I remember watching guitar lessons on KZbin before I even had my own guitar. That was 2006 and by 2020, music has taken me all over the world and I’m just getting started. I hope this inspires a generation of blues pianists.

[@kingsleyarisah6354]

You kicked off my Blues journey right now after playing the keyboard for years. Thank you

[@rogercook8277]

Man when you can teach me, you can teach anyone. I love the way you broke it down. You kept it simple and to the point. You are a GREAT TEACHER. All I have to do is practice. Practice make perfect. Lol

[@kathym.5676]

I return to this video from time to time, whenever I need to feel good, because that’s what blues does to a soul. These have been hard times for just about everyone in the world. I especially appreciate this lesson now more than ever. Thanks again for sharing, Jordan, you are a talented musician and teacher. It seems you are no longer with Pianote. I wish you well wherever you are.

[@user-og1nb8xt8f]

Me 2 .. Tks !!

[@Sonibabe555]

Very clear and eloquent explanation. You play so well - even the elementary passages are enjoyable! Thank you. Would love to play as well as you do

[@ariimoanacotter2873]

this was actually extremely helpful, good video

[@mtbsperry]

Wow. Jordan killed it. Another great beginner blues lesson. I think I’ll have a hard time playing anything other than blues now.

[@eyaelalemayehu1218]

I really appreciate your techniques of teaching. It is really easy to understand and catch.

[@robertYTB78g]

So nice to get a good starting point - fitting the left hand shuffle to the right hand triplets, then get the other stuff later. I have been trying this for about a year, and I can see how this is going to work for me now, especially if I slow it right down. Thanks for posting.

I’m with you on this one baaaaaby!

[@neojakemcc]

These people are great. I've been playing for 33 years and a lot of stuff like this, I had to teach myself because my teachers were horrible back in the day, so all new and learning pianists (I'm still learning today) need to watch this because THIS is the start of where playing piano can be fun!! After teaching myself this about 25 years ago, I can't begin to tell you how many endless jam sessions starting with just this pattern (usually in C or G depending on what key harmonica some of the other musicians had on them at the time.) That being said, I haven't gone down this path in a while and I am gonna bust out a 12 bar pattern tomorrow for my kids and see if they get grooving!

[@kummer45]

I know nothing about music. I know nothing about piano. However this video showed me how those two things feels. This literally shows the composition of music and how much work it requires. It shows too how valuable musicians are and how difficult the whole career is. There are gifted people like Lang Lang and other top musicians showing their talent. Now I know why they are so valuable. THIS IS THE VIDEO that shows everybody how music is build. Videos like this goes throughout the nitty gritty details of music. This is SERVICE. Your channel serves music.

[@nathanwahl9224]

@@triple_tubers3314 You hit the point where muscle memory can override thinking about it, and you just do it. That's where the expression "Thinking is stinking" came from! It's also when you can start adding those little frills and runs he does at the end, you've got a good base to start with. Trying to add stuff like that is just counterproductive until you get the basics down; but then the fun begins!

[@georgetebbens3524]

I'm not a piano player. I'm a guitar player who has been playing the Blues for over 40 years. I have a keyboard at home. I can suss out the chords. What's difficult for me is maintaining a solid groove with my left hand while riffing on my right hand. It helps to think of a shuffle as swung 8ths, essentially a triplet feel. This makes right hand triplets fall in place. It's still tricky. Piano is fun! This lesson taught me a lot. Not only about piano, but about what I had been doing on guitar for decades without realizing why. Thanks.
