A Left Hand Groove You NEED To Know!

[@Piano_Pig]

What do you guys think of this bass line? Should I make more videos like this? :)

[@anthonyboadu2628]

PianoPig SURE we need more

[@Piano_Pig]

Haha awesome!

[@deejay5633]

Dopely Seductive 😍😍 Bravo 👍😁

[@thomasbaray4423]

Just amazing ! Let's continue this type of video !!!

[@billbaumiester6764]

Xcellent tutorial. Would be perfect if we could print out the notes and voicing on paper or online. Or create an mp3 file for Yousician or Synthesia

[@EST-111]

This lesson kicks 🥳 even as a beginner, it’s so easy explained! Makes me super happy and I’m so thankful for that! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@anthonyarmstrong7311]

I LOVE the bass line. Great job thank you Simon

[@Piano_Pig]

Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it Anthony :)

[@dannuttle9005]

5:29 top half of my head comes off; this is one of "those sounds" I've been dying to learn for, well, longer than you've been alive, and now I know it

[@theodorekorbos2804]

Mr. Simon I really love your stuff I'm learning so much just by watching you I only wish that this was around Back 40 years ago. Thank you very much Teddy korbos!

[@larsuk9578]

Great groove, love it. The Fm chord can also be played F Ab C Eb in which case it is same voicing the the Cm chord, just 1 tone below (helps focus on the left hand and less so on right hand :-)

[@krimsonfunk]

“I can’t help it “ but liking this ;)

[@raimofabritius5052]

Very nice. Greatings from finland.

[@amaragilraine]

Hands down the KZbin channel I've learned the most from. Thanks!

[@georgey528]

[@yellowbass]

This awesome !! 👍👍

[@robertocoria5575]

I am definitely going to enjoy so much working on this, thank you!!

[@dannuttle9005]

Count yourself fortunate that I do not make YT videos.

Excellent work, sir!

[@Piano_Pig]

It's my pleasure!

[@tarunpawar100]

Excellent..Loved this lesson..Hats off to you !!!

[@Piano_Pig]

Thanks :)

[@tarunpawar100]

PianoPig Pls advice...Is learning sheet music necessary for piano.? bcoz I am more inclined towards music by ears.. morever notations make me feel little bore.

[@Piano_Pig]

Reading sheet music is an important skill to have, by it is not necessary. I personally think learning music with your ears is far more beneficial, and if this is what you find more interesting then learn this way! Much better to have good ears than be good at reading sheet music!

[@tarunpawar100]

PianoPig Sincere thanks for this valuable advice :)

[@calldyuk1751]

Thank you Simon, really appreciate the video, well explained!!

[@Piano_Pig]

No worries! Glad you enjoyed it 😀

[@wilfredomendez3450]

I wish you could be my neighbor. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@Piano_Pig]

Funnily enough my neighbour doesn’t like me very much because of all the practice 😂

[@DannySullivanMusic]

The lick at 5:20 is the _real_ lesson

[@alchonconley16]

this is my song now nobody else better play or im calling the cops

[@the195111]

Oink oink..

[@paulowens5396]

Sounds awesome, very clean and simple. It reminds me of Michael Jacksons Heartbreak Hotel. Please keep the videos coming...

[@Piano_Pig]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it man :)

[@diamondwebb5749]

He is great.

[@kruffles]

Sounds like the exact bassline/chord changes from This Place Hotel by Michael Jackson.

[@creativesource3514]

@Alstrause GD I agree, nothing like it.

[@isaiahlevi5287]

Ye it does live in sin ten years ago

[@antonioscolotti8558]

It's Heart break Hotel.

[@shadetv8605]

I'm a rapper and producer by the way but i have heavy funk and jazz influences in my music

[@rolandpierrelouis4013]

all my respect PianoPig ! your way of playing is so sweet and inspiring ! I learn a lot from ! how long have you been playing piano ?

[@Piano_Pig]

Thanks! That's nice to hear :) I've been playing as long as I can remember, around 18 years or so.

[@rolandpierrelouis4013]

thanks for your reply ! I I encourage you to keep sharing your knowledge and you will be more and more blessed ! Good work !

[@anthonyarmstrong7311]

Yes, more videos like that.

[@Piano_Pig]

My pleasure!

[@nfluondabeat3962]

Listen to UGK - Take it off, similar vibe

[@sunilaswin9180]

omg thx you for this video this is really awesome and the lick or voicing i dont know how to call it XD at 5:30 - 5:32 i heard it many other songs too and its totally awesome perhaps a lesson on that would be nice :) and as always awesome videos :)

[@Piano_Pig]

Thanks! Between 5:30 - 5:32 I'm playing 2 chords, an Fm9 voicing and then I go to a G7alt. This takes it nicely back to the Cm chord. I will try to make a video on this voicing :)

[@moneymitch4181]

Bro not trying to be sour but that's my tune I made that for my mother and im the only one that plays that tone just be honest where you get it from? I'm being serious

[@tzodearf2596]

The tutorial is excellent. The bass line is a cheesy version of the one in Michael Jackson's Heartbreak Hotel. Nevertheless, the lesson is good and worth the effort to play well.

[@antonmakhatilov8008]

looks like very real for beginer. But, please explaune more about inversion of the accord , you mentioned . I didn't get it.

[@TheRawrevelations]

similar to bass in teddy pendergrass- the more i get (the more i want)... eh, it's okay.

[@MomLAU]

Do you have a worksheet of this?

[@MrMargaretScratcher]

Quick question about the sus11 - if the minor 3rd is raised a tone to the 4th, which makes it a sus chord, and the 11th is only an 11th if you've also go the 7th and 9th in there (Is that right?), then what makes this a sus11 rather than just a Cm11 voicing? Is it the lack of the minor 3rd?

[@Piano_Pig]

Yes, the lack of the third is what makes it a sus chord. We can't call it major or minor since it is the 3rd that tells us that information

[@MrMargaretScratcher]

Ah yes of course! Great tutorial as always!

[@MrMargaretScratcher]

Another one - the chromatic descent at the end of the first part I'm finding the fingering you're using really odd and unfamiliar. Although reaching the G with the ring finger is much easier than with the middle finger, crossing the middle finger over the ring finger seems really strange. Is it just a case usually of using whatever will allow you to get to and from where you need to be most easily?

[@Piano_Pig]

I would just do whatever feels the most comfortable and natural for you. Everyone might prefer different things and there is no right or wrong way!

[@MrMargaretScratcher]

Cheers! Right now I'm recovering from surgery on my back, so I'm having to practise whilst laying down, with a keytar strapped round my knees. It's surprisingly practical, well, as far as not being able to sit or stand for long periods is concerned. So yeah, comfortable is a very relative term for me right now. I'll experiment, I find with fingering it's all about that 'This seems more awkward right now, but will it eventually be less awkward than how I was doing it initially?' kind of balance. I've had things where I've shied away from trying to change my fingering because I'm used to it a certain way, spending ages frustrated trying to make it work that way, then finally caving in and spending much less time just getting used to a much more logical but unfamiliar fingering, and being able to play whatever it is much easier in a much shorter period of time. Basically, the quick/easy way is sometimes the long/hard way.

[@ph9674]

how do you do the right hand lick in the end of the beginning part ?

[@bond-yieldbond007]

That’s a 6 and 2 chord on Eb major right? Why name them 1 and 4? Thanks! Great vid btw

[@Piano_Pig]

They are chords 1 and 4 if you look at it in the key of C minor, but if you choose to view it in Eb major, you could call them 6 and 2. It makes more sense to call them 1 and 4 in my opinion.

[@bond-yieldbond007]

PianoPig duh thanks man :)

[@Sean-jp5rm]

Similar to the bass line from Off the Wall by Michael Jackson. No complaints, sounds super dope, definitely going to learn this.

[@freyjablet5522]

The new Nicky Hopkins here

[@patrickjohnmchugh9589]

Cool bass line. Is there anyway I can get the MIDI file of this lesson? The MIDI would be very helpful in learning.

[@Piano_Pig]

I didn't record the MIDI for this lesson I'm afraid, but you will learn it better if you listen and copy!

[@CrowClouds]

That red piano must be really great. Everyone has it. It's like 5000$

hey sir..can i have ur most oldest keyboard...i want to learn playing piano...

[@Piano_Pig]

Have a look on eBay or Gumtree and you'll find loads of cheap ones people don't want anymore

[@muffinman5741]

Not that funky tbh, more jazzy

[@iansalvador]

I didn't know pyrocynical could play the piano

[@wordofmo]

Why is it a C sus 11? Isn’t the F just an 11th and not a sus? It seems redundant. My rule is that if there is a seventh in the cord then the F would be an 11th and if there is no seventh it would be a sus. But I can’t say that’s based on any new rule I’ve read. I love the baseline, but I wouldn’t call it funky.

[@pokerworld]

Would I rather be able to play piano or speak a new foreign language....tough choice

[@Piano_Pig]

I'm currently attempting to learn Spanish... why can't you do both? If you HAVE to choose one, I reckon you would get more out of learning an instrument than another language, but that's just my opinion!

[@pokerworld]

PianoPig I am trying to learn piano. I can speak Spanish, English, and Chinese. Perhaps Russian next?

[@vmdp8790]

I’m trying to learn the sax and the trumpet German and Japanese

[@user-vi5yq5it9z]

Удачи тебе в этом!

[@MatiMusic02]

This is one of the not groovy bass lines I’ve ever seen. Groovy/ funky line supposed to fall on the off-beates, and this one is mostly about even eights.

[@omgtkseth]

Man, you need a different piano stand. Your setup is so wobbly and shaky. Didn't you grow up playing with an acoustic piano? Such wobbling tends to be very annoying when you develop technique with a stable keyboard. When my digital piano wobbles a little I cannot concentrate until I fix it.
