[@recording001]

Probably the most comprehensive series of piano lessons on youtube. No nonsense, visually digestible and perfectly timed. This should be the standard for all videos like this.Thanks for sharing!

[@Piano_Pig]

Thanks man! I appreciate the kind words 🙏

[@petermarcglider]

Wish you every success.

[@Piano_Pig]

Thanks! 🙏

[@Rumil_]

nowhere near your speed of improvising, but thank you so much I literally found myself having such a fun and expressive moment just jamming out and next thing i knew half an hour flew by.

[@Piano_Pig]

That's what it's all about! Using music to get into that flow state - makes me happy to hear 😀

[@gokberkmusic6865]

@@Piano_Pig D9 shouldnt be there on blues scale chord? A m blues notes havent f# for D. Can anyone explain me please? Im beginner..

[@daggerpayne539]

The A minor 7th chord progression in the beginning pairs nicely with the blues scale’s melody, I learned that scale in band class and I didn’t realize the importance of learning proper chord progressions until recently, I paired it with the blues scales and it’s an easy way to improvise some songs. Great video I learned a lot I practice with this video and refer to this video when I have to remember the finger placements

[@isaacdouglas7826]

3:40- this is just for myself

[@sappysongcovers8181]

Dude, really enjoy your piano lessons. I've decided to spruce up my piano (guitar is my main instrument). While there's some good lessons on KZbin, yours really stand out, because they're really interesting and digestible - enough to bite off and practice in each lesson. Great teaching and thank you!

[@Piano_Pig]

Thanks man really appreciate it! It's the comments like this that give me motivation to keep making more! Glad you're finding them useful! :)

I can watch PianoPig videos all day and not bother to touch the keys. Thanks Simon.

Haha I'm not sure that's the goal but I'm glad you're enjoying the channel 🤣🙏

[@Mwagolovesnaruto]

I'm gonna echo what so many have already said: THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! Because of this video, I'm able to finally put all of the Jazz theory I've been learning into practice! I have so much more freedom on the piano now, because I finally know a little of what I'm doing! Once again, thank you! Keep doing what you're doing!

[@Piano_Pig]

It's my pleasure bro! So happy you found this lesson useful - keep it up 😀

[@marlonhengtgen3004]

I feel obligated to extend my gratitude to you for all these videos for free. I am 24, have always wanted to play the piano, and just purchased my first keyboard. I've been practicing every day because I really do love it, and I want to develop this skill as much as possible. I made a youtube playlist for piano vids, and it almost entirely consists of your videos. I love your videos, as they're both informative and easy to digest. My best wishes to you on your career, and thanks a bunch!

[@Piano_Pig]

Thanks friend, that means a lot. Happy to hear you're enjoying the videos and finding them useful 🙏

[@schattedaenker]

I used this today with a nice hiphop beat and I loved it. Thank you so mutch. You are awesome!!!!!

[@gblikas]

Not sure if they are ghost notes, but that A Dorian riff right before 4:40 has some amazing fill and that E you hit harmonizes so well.

[@gregg8583]

Thank you for being one of the few channels to play more than talk!

[@thutran-le1829]

barfbag5000 it seems plausible for them to assume that

[@arne9518]

Wow really thought this chord progression was outdated in 3 years thanks for keeping us updated. You are a hero man.

[@haze300]

Because of you, I understand how chord progression works. Now I can make a lot of beats!

[@matthagen67]

That bluesy (or jazzy??) song at the end - man, I loved it so much!

[@civomirak]

This chord progression sound like Stevie Wonder's "Isn't She Lovely" progression. Great job, thank you, sir.

[@Lillyflower-J88]

I love your method of teaching. I play and compose by ear in a simplistic way. Now and then I find I'm somewhat short on a variety of chords so your video's are a God send. Thank you

[@scott88keys]

Great content. I have been playing for 40 plus years and on Christmas eve I lost my left index finger due to infection. It was and still is quite a blow. I am relearning slowly but surely. This channel gives me great finger exercises to practice. Thank you so much

[@chelseawijaya2063]

This video means so much. My jazz teacher recently just passed away and the last thing he taught me was the dorian scale. He never got to teach me on how to improvise with it, but after seeing your video, i feel like i’m starting to understand. Thankyou 🙋🏻‍♀️

[@nicolaiprowse3893]

Piano Pig is my new hero - incredible playing.

[@Sadius]

thanks so much for this! I’ve been a classical pianist for nearly a decade now but recently Ive really gotten in the mood for learning jazz, and this was really fun to improvise with! Idk how far youtube videos are gonna get me but it’s a nice start.

[@skylee5029]

Been listening to this on repeat for the past hour and a half

[@edrock26]

Oh, Simon! You have helped me soooo much with this video! I have been trying to improve my solo improvisation in A minor for the last two (2) years. Thank You!

[@XX-nf6kj]

I really appreciate you playing in the end! It gave me some ideas for some tricks :)

[@AlexeyFilippenkoPlummet]

First time on the channel. My impression after first chords: can this guy even play piano? My impression after hearing the blues improvisation : holy shit! I want to one day be as capable as he.

[@coopthescoop100]

perhaps play the last part first as well as the ending to give people the finished product so they get it!!.....then they will try...this is only meant to help...you are a fantastic instructor!!

[@samuelsudhakar022]

OMG so beautifully u have played. I enjoyed lot nd also tried to grasp the right hand finger tricks. But Left hand chord we can play. But playing with Right hand notes along with left hand really tough nd tough. So much of ur time nd put all ur efforts to learn this. Hats off to u sir. Let us try to learn slowly.

[@rowanostrom265]

great improv dude! some really creative licks in there

[@purposeXpower]

Yooo that sounds like the main progression from Stevie’s “That Girl”! Dope!

[@aezyy6488]

no. it are the Jamming chords (bob marley)

[@dgrantha]

I thought I was the only one who recognized that!

[@sls554]

That progression sound so great soulful great thanks.

[@vocalchords3609]

Fabulous! Thank you!

[@PIANOSTYLE100]

The e 7 alt appears to be E7 #5#9. also it's a good thing to to notice how close a c major 7 is is to an e minor 7.. c major 7 is (c e g b) and eminor7 is (e g b d) just good to how closely chords are related to each other. I learn every day new things. I have had many private lessons in the past but generally classical music at the sub university level does not go deep into chord theory..The average jazz musician has a respectable knowledge of music theory both playing and theory. If we are in c, we can go to e minor 7 b5 in an instant. e g b.

[@Piano_Pig]

Very right you are! You could think of Em7 as a rootless voicing for Cm9 - very similar chords indeed... it all depends on what the bass is doing!

[@PIANOSTYLE100]

PianoPig yeah the em7 ( e g b d) is right next to the e minor 7 b5 (e g bb d) This I a really comfortable cord to make . I think it's in Georgia on my mind.. fma7. (face) to eminor 7 b5.( above) to a7 ( e g a c#)
