[@PianoLessonwithWarren]

Thank you 😊🙏🏾❤️

[@acreguy3156]

Warren, if teaching piano was a country, you sir would be king! Thank you for such insight and simple explanations.

[@PianoLessonwithWarren]

lol thanks for watching 🙏🏽😊

[@vickywilliams9734]

Ah you broke my heart, sorry to hear your mum passed at such a young life. You turn out great I know she wd be so Proud of you. You are a great teacher just seen this. Sweet playing. Thanks

[@PianoLessonwithWarren]

Thank you Vicky, yes I know she’d be proud 😊👍🏽🙏🏾

[@badiodesir814]

Good morning my brother God bless you and your family and thank you for your help and your time

[@BlessedOne686]

I watched other teachers on KZbin. I found Warren and I am genuinely baffled at how he does not have 1mill subscribers. For this past week, I wrestled whether I should pay for his courses... it’s a no brainer. Course!

[@Notmehimorthem]

Warren has done it again. 36 minutes of quality content that get's right to the heart of the issue. A great basis for development

[@PianoLessonwithWarren]

Thanks Steve 🥰👍🏽🙏🏾

[@eseoraka]

A great basis for development indeed!

[@celialewis1868]

Awesome stuff Warren. You are simply the best.

[@carlottalalonde6004]

Sorry about your mom. I had similar situation. Keep sharing your talent. You are a God-send to all. Thank you! Carlotta

[@iRapturr]

I'm so very sorry for your loss but am happy you've been blessed with a great family and able to teach so many doing what you love.

[@gbemigaoluwatuyi8849]

Warren, God is your source of understanding that's why you find it easy to teach without holding back

[@PianoLessonwithWarren]

Thank you brother 😊🙏🏾👍🏽

[@nstrawberry8519]

This is exactly what I’ve been looking for!!! I started relearning piano a couple of months ago, trying to play Hymns and Gospel songs. But since what I studied as a child was classical piano, I’m so used to playing exactly what’s written on the music sheet. But I want to get out of that and play spontaneously! This lesson is just amazing! I’ll probably watch it hundreds of times!!! Thank you so much, Warren!!!😊✨

[@ThePoeticSam]

I think I’m conditioned because of the way that I learned to play and I did learn some things today……

[@emmanuelokebugwu6944]

Most piano tutorials just show you chords, then breakdowns. A few piano tutorials slow it down and chop it into bite size .... Then there's Piano Lesson with Warren. You're about the only channel that GETS TO THE HEART OF THE MATTER - THE REAL SECRET BEHIND A TRULY EXPRESSIVE FREEDOM IN PLAYING. God bless you Warren, beyond your wildest imagination.

[@GleenDapheeChery]

Sorry for your mom bro it's really sad

[@bigtymamusic9575]

Thanks Warren, This is really helpful even as an intermidiate. May Your mom R.I..P 🙏

[@phillipdonnelly6430]

Excellent. Someone who is really giving people a helping hand. Well done and thank you. So many time wasters here.

[@dorindaduncan6413]

Warren, I listen to this lesson when I walk in the park, when I’m preparing dinner, and just before I go to sleep. It’s so logically presented and your sweet personality makes me go over and over each segment to naturally apply the theory behind your choices. I thank you with all my heart.

[@PianoLessonwithWarren]

Thanks for watching 😎👍

[@pauloutram9995]

You are a great instructor. The left hand chord patterns to avoid sounding muddy is perfect for beginners. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills.

[@PianoLessonwithWarren]

Paul Outram thanks for watching 😊👍🏽

[@valroyanderson6850]

NO HOLDS BAR!!! Jammed pack Indeed my brother with a true servant's heart . GOD'S BLESSINGS ON YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

[@munyaradzikennethdodzo2655]

Boom! Just like that and my left hand has been liberated to function. I was tired of playing the same beginner stuff for more than a year. Thanks Warren👏🏽👏🏽

[@mariskapieterse6352]

Thank you Warren for going slow enough and breaking things down so that I can actually learn something. Normally when I watch a tutorial of someone that can really play well, they go so fast or make it so complicated that ordinary people with basic piano skills can't follow. God bless you for sharing your talent in a way that actually makes sense.

[@magnifisonproductionsstudi7360]

You have the real gift from God man. I wish I could know as much as you know. Right now I'm struggling with my piano and I'm regullary watching your tutorials hoping that some day I will be able to play just as much as I can learn from you. Thank you for your presence and teaching this beautifull music. Greetings from Poland from your biggest follower ;-)

[@boyboykhaba5004]

Wow God bless you my brother you just taught me how to play we need you lord plus left hand voicings...

Thank You Brother You have Taught Me So Much Over The Years Forever Grateful. 🙏🏾

[@valroyanderson6850]

I pray that everyone discover you Warren. I try to tell as many people as I can about you. I remembered the first time I saw you, I told myself that this guy is too good, he's not gonna show me anything - 'but boy was l wrong '. I will never stop pronouncing GOD'S BLESSINGS on you and yours.

[@statesman6379]

Hey Warren, to echo everyone else, you are the best teacher on KZbin and any that I have come across. I really appreciate all of your lessons though I just discovered you. Can you please give a lesson of the left-hand classic (old-school) Gospel bounce? I know everyone plays the Gospel bounce a little differently, but I’m sure you’re able to break down the main ways. And I’m really sorry to hear about your mother. May God bless you in everything.

[@PianoLessonwithWarren]

Thanks you, I’ll look into the old school bounce 😊👍🏽🙏🏾

[@statesman6379]

Thank you sir!

Wow, been hoping to run across this kind of a lesson. The Lord is SOOOO GOOD all the time. Thank you for your ministry.

[@emanuelwalker9979]

The Lord is calling me back to worship and through the years I’ve neglected to heed his voice. I don’t have the talent, but the passion is all I’ve ever wanted. Brother Warren the Lord has put this video in my path so that I can pick up where I left off, never looking back again.

Your break downs and answering the whys are making you my go-to instructor!!! Phenomenal lesson Edit: I’m a beginner, the ‘passing’ chords in between the progression blew my mind!!! So gorgeous and surprisingly simple !!! This video changed my world bro!!!!! So many thanks 🙏 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏I’m pretty sure you just taught me ten years of theory in 36:01! If you need me I’ll be behind my keys for the next forever trying to implement these lessons 😎

[@CavalliMeikle]

God bless you Warren, the start of the video touched me and motivated me to hug my mum, and tell her I love her for the first time in only God knows when

[@PianoLessonwithWarren]

🙏🏽😊

[@ernestdayne6711]

God bless your mother and your beautiful playing and singing voice. The video was long, but actually felt way too short. Please keep them coming, you are the best piano player and teacher I’ve ever come across. Thank you

[@riverstyx4649]

5 minutes in and I've already learned more than what I've seen in the past 5 videos I watched on the same subject. You're going to have some talented artists saying your name in their award acceptance speeches man. Great work.

[@bparkfootballcamp6868]

I've been searching on KZbin for a long time on how to advance the left hand and have found a lot of useless content. Then I came across this and thought I'd give it a try. Even though while writing this I'm only 15 minutes into the video, my piano playing has transformed entirely. Quality content and look forward to finishing off and watching all of your other videos. Thank you.

[@Journeytaker101]

Thank you so much for this video! That section on the tritones is EVERYTHING!! You explained and demonstrated this concept better than any video that I have ever seen! The fact it was in C made it easy for me to understand and then apply to other keys!!!! God bless you!

Thank you Warren, very helpful. I was classically trained when I was a kid. Since I am a baby boomer you have proven that you can teach an old dog new tricks.

Love your tutorial! I begin learning piano through your simple tutorial

[@carolynmyrie5945]

Good morning Mr. Warren, I have been looking around your website and landed on this lesson #98 where I heard you mention that you lost your precious Mom in the Cayman Islands. I was immediately shocked because i am from the Cayman Islands, and I am so, so, very, very sorry for this tremendous loss, and you at such a young age. Please accept my most Sincere Condolences to you. I lost my Mom about three years ago, and it is something that One never gets over. I thank the Lord that He has Blessed you with such an Awesome Gift from Him, made you a Professional, and that you are using it for the Lord service. I am very interested in your teaching delivery, and would like to try it out. I taught myself piano from age 7 and I play for my Church but always try to keep learning new things to try. Keep looking to the Lord, and I'll start praying for you, and your family. Numbers 6:24-26 is my prayer for you. Kind regards, Carolyn Rose Myrie

[@PianoLessonwithWarren]

Hi Carolyn, thank you for the kind words and condolences, it is much appreciated. I too I’m sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. Thanks for watching the videos and supporting the channel. Glad to know the videos are helping:)

[@dethbolt000]

As a dual keyboard player, I've trained my left hand to do FULL chord voicings so that I can use my right for upper structure extensions and/or another moving voices like strings or horns. Practice with your left hand, the same root chords in all keys, then each chord's inversions.

[@scottlynnrobinson426]

Thank you so much for this lesson. It's amazing how I'm already doing some of these things. Hey I'm on my way. Praise God😆😆

[@elimwambi5142]

You are doing wonders bro! God bless you. Ima try and teach the choir this song for Sunday. Thanks so much.

Wonderful break-down. As more of an intermediate player, you're demonstrating things that I could definitely work to improve on to bring myself a little closer toward that next-level. Thanks, Warren!

[@theinspirationcollege]

You are the man bro. I packed up keyboard playing 3 years ago at intermediate level because I was only copying what others play with no knowledge as to why they play those chords. Having watched your videos and the time you take to explain the concept, I bought a brand new Vox Continental Keyboard and back on track now. Muy bien gracias Senor Warren.

[@PianoLessonwithWarren]

That’s awesome bro, glad to you’re re-invigorated to pick music again 😊😊🙏🏾

[@philipshin849]

I come back to your videos every few months and rewatch videos I couldn't understand before. It's nice to know that I have gotten a little better even though I felt like I haven't learned anything and the whole learning process feeling so slow. I wasn't able to understand more than half the concepts you introduced in your videos at first but now I understand more than 75% of them with your help and others. So thank you! And also, God bless you and I am sorry to hear about your mother but it's nice to hear that God has provided you with many other mothers even though they aren't biological. Our time here is short, and after this world we can spend our eternity with God and our loved ones. I know she's proud everyday of what you have accomplished so far and sharing your knowledge to people like myself who seek it so I thank you once again for your videos
