We need a series with Jack teaching us about piano, synth playing & patch making.

[@julianmalarz5227]

Yes. Especially because he can relate it to guitar players

[@josephbiron9103]

Jack, you should really receive a Nobel prize for this series. Quite seriously.

[@NapalmJustice]

This series is going to blow up. This was fantastic. I taught a different art form for a living, but this hits all the spots of excellent teaching. Giving a safe point of entry for new people, clear analogies, fun simple demonstrations that help people enjoy the process, and a promotion of the experience as a journey of always learning new things instead of a specific destination or one song or theory. Great work, Jack!

It's like that with whatever you pick up, pretty much. When you first get a basketball you just start swinging at the basket, you miss 90% but you have fun doing it, you want to start hitting the shots so you get on with practicing and whenever you make the next step you feel rewarded and it's fun, so you keep doing it. I teach math to kids and I see similar patterns. When I start with a kid who's really behind, we start with simple stuff and as we get going, somewhere on the way the kid sees a geometry problem, looks at it, recognizes the small steps he needs to start with and bigger patterns and he gets excited, like "wow, id's so easy" or "yeah, I know how to do it!" or "finally I get it" and it's so fucking satisfying for me as a teacher. One thing we need to teach our kids is that learning new things is fun and they will keep learning their entire lives. Isn't it what life's all about in the end?

You know this kind of days, you're sneaking around on KZbin and suddenly ..Baaam. You find a golden nugget. Well, today is one of these days with this series of piano lessons for beginners. THANK YOU and please keep posting. I love this.

[@sandscribbler]

As far as first piano lessons go, it would be hard to beat this. Brilliant way to get into the whole mindset.

[@cosmojonesmusic]

Anything Jack does is worth watching. What a nice teacher.

[@edinatl2008]

I'm also into these videos like everyone else here. Underrated material IMO.

[@cheekynuke]

@@edinatl2008 Agreed mate. I'd love to buy a synth and make noise. But I'm put off by not having any musical knowledge as such. Jack makes it less frightening in this video. Made fun not boring !

[@zajtoja]

@@cheekynuke Just do it. I got myself a Roland go keys, it's a very affordable piece and it's FUN.

[@godders7594]

Jack can sometimes sound silly but boy what a player, anything you learn from him will stay with you forever

[@nickdestruct]

man i just think i fell in love! lol but seriously. that was excellent

[@gregorywhitham]

“I’m going to try to give you something to do that will be self gratifying and make you feel good about it and look to the future and carry on learning” Thats the best approach I have every heard (but often looked for). It's what 99% of the music teachers out there totally miss.

[@mikewells5744]

Bought a pedal from your shop Jack for the first time in about 30years! :-) cheers matey ...

[@drsamurai009]

I've been playing music for almost 40 years, and when I first dove into piano, this was basically all I did for quite a while. I've still never learned to read music, and I admit that would be nice. At my age, I doubt I'll ever learn to sight read, though by now I can at least read keys and rhythms on sheet music. Great analogy of drawing and music. Anyone can draw a line and a circle randomly and the more shapes you add, the more it starts to look like....something. You may not be playing Mozart in 5 minutes, but playing slowly and building anyone can start to hear melodies that will start sounding familiar. Well done. I've been starting to apply that to guitar the past year or two, just picking up the instrument. Don't worry about playing all 6 strings, just play a couple of them, and randomly pick a couple frets. Pluck the strings and move around, usually 2 or 3 frets at a time, and a very similar thing happens.

[@zajtoja]

Last time I grabbed a guitar I held it like a bass and started playing it in similar fashion. It actually sounded quite nice and I had a lot of fun doing it. Creating is always fun and it's never too late to to pick up something new!

[@meneerjansen00]

You are still the best teacher on KZbin. Thanks Jack. :)

[@MakeSomething]

Love this. Just have fun and don't over think it!

[@skinsegan]

Jack, you legend. This is something I've been wanting without knowing I've wanted it. Lessons from Jack! 🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@texrex4580]

You are amazing Jack...I feel blessed to be part of this time with talented guys like you around.

[@Theurbanmajor]

Wow. I've already been learning for 1 1/2 years an although i didn't learn anything new in particular, this was still amazing. This is exactly how i am training myself: do exactly what i want, when i want and how i want. And here i am sitting at the piano for at least 2 hours daily without regretting one single second of it :)

[@stephanearnoux]

You are a fantastic teacher, to open ears and hands to music :)

[@NoobVisions79]

This might be one of the best piano videos I have ever seen! Holy crap I love it! On another note.... ;) - Have you made videos where you just play your beautiful music?

[@richardemerson8075]

Just found this. What an absolute frkn JOY! Wonderful wonderful stuff.

[@greatwhitedonkey]

This is great. All first lessons should be like this!

[@enochroot9438]

This is a brilliant introduction, love it

[@RichardByrneUK]

Brilliant! Best thing I've seen in ages, thanks Jack!

[@craighayes3316]

Jack, that was brilliant. Keep it up. !

[@WoodyPianoShack]

i like what you're doing here jack. really beautiful improv at the end, i need to study that and break it down!

[@Paparumbo]

Fantastic.

[@JS-vz4je]

Best instructional video ever , Thank's Jack!

[@LemonJelly360]

This is amazing! Just what I needed as I’m exactly who Jack described.

[@OtRatsaphong]

Great lesson,Jack. A great way to start learning to play music and the piano. 👍👍👍

[@Ezmoade]

Man, i've recently ordered my Roland FP30! Honestly i cannot wait to get my hands on it. I have been watching most of your videos here and seriously Jack i could watch you all day, your personality is fantastic and definitely suited for something like this! PLEASE keep it up! Just so happens that after i have ordered my instrument and it being my birthday today you produce something like this. 100% destiny!

[@kapasuntraining]

I have an FP30. It's awesome! Enjoy. 😃

[@richardwilliams3756]

Inspired and you put things more into perspective that most other KZbin videos I’ve seen to enjoy playing. Keep going 👌🏻

[@purplepat69]

Fabulous video! Count me (at 62 yrs old) among the many with no musical talent who recently bought a keyboard because I've always wanted one! (Well, wanted a synth but that's essentially what I've done by getting a MIDI controller and associated soft synths). This should be fun, and you at least made it sound like it should be! The only thing I "fear" is that I should be learning things like hand positioning, working on strengthening my weaker fingers like my pinkies, or the difficulty I have on my right hand getting the middle finger and pinky down without having the finger between them strike the key hard enough to make a sound. My "playing around" may be involving me using my "good" fingers in bad ways that will either require me relearning how to play properly or be doomed to simpler stuff my uncoordinated hands and brain can handle. But so far, I've had lots of fun just fooling around, and primarily just with the white keys. I will be tuning into your future videos for beginners, and I hit that SUBSCRIBE button.

[@yoelsamosir3659]

All I can say is Thank you, Jack. Thank you! Didn't come for the lesson. Was just expecting some beautiful playing from Jack. But then both the lesson and the playing make my eyes wide open.

[@rexstonecipher8586]

Awesome 👏

[@foxholeartist]

That is amazing. Basically, perfect approach to any instrument.

[@magicknight8412]

Love this mate! A nice introduction, if it isn't fun you won't want to do it as much.

[@Ramnathk]

Hello from Seattle. Thanks for this. I got my piano a few days ago, and while I've started practicing with 'training apps' this sounds like a way to connect with the instrument/music... Thanks Jack

[@ragityairfanmaulana]

Please continue this series . .

[@marcpinion]

Thanks Jack

[@zajtoja]

Jack, I lov ya.

[@electricsnut]

Keep it up Jack! It's one thing to want to learn piano but it is certainly another not to be put off forever by not enjoying it with pure theory etc.

[@gautambharadwaj6619]

Please do more!

[@andertonsfan3144]

Perfect.... Great lesson and so well explained - cheers

[@atuseth4867]

hahahahah this is awesome man you crack me up but soooo true this is a great tutorial keep these up pls :D

[@XiXora]

My Lumi is literally on the truck as you speak. I may not have 88-keys (yet) but I am looking forward to it. I have a feeling it'll turn into a sequencer controller though.

[@scothinckley]

The man returns, a welcome sight.

[@officialWWM]

I've been learning since being locked down. I bought Roland Juno Ds. It's loads of fun and easier than I thought :)

[@TheIndieGameDev]

Can you just do these everyday forever?

[@gtoctane]

Time to get my paintbrush and go full hippie! Jack said it was okay

[@JaakkoTK]

I don´t have a piano, but I´m gonna air-play boldly, chest and jaw up like Jack. Damn sure. On white keys and sustain pedal. And some Jack-notes.

[@sorefoot6329]

Even when you’re not trying you sound cool.

[@MrSHABBATRONIC]

Jack you are a leg end I mean legend - thanks

[@cololoco]

I’ve played piano for 20 years. I still watched.

[@CarlosBarrosoM]

I didn't know that I need it until I see it

[@KirklandWilliamsWorkout3000]

Open your mind and let the Music Flow! Let it speak to u and let go of Perfection

[@orchestralmockups]

Great intro lesson Jack. I'm considering buying a digital piano and have seen some of your product reviews and lessons. I was thinking about the Roland FP10 as it has great reviews. This lesson (and the following ones) stress the use of the sustain pedal. The FP10 appears to have limited (non continuous?) functionality in that regard. In the blindfold review it didn't seem to work as expected. Is this a detriment as far as a beginner is concerned?

[@kingstumble]

Very interesting approach. Who was it that only ever played the black notes?

[@flowerboy_9]

can i watch your tutorials with my 61 keys keyboard?

[@Fonkemman]

Of course

[@BlazertronGames]

I hate the elitism of piano communities online. They have this annoying attitude that makes it feel like if you don't get an expensive piano teacher, you should never touch a piano. This is a far more inspiring way to learn piano.

[@tomaszmikinka8681]

I dont care about keys. I like to hang out with Jack.

[@stefjer8725]

Hey wait !!... no rocketsience ?? Allright.. were are my nachos. Netflix can wait.. =)

[@JH-ev7wn]

If pete was in the room, he would not have been able to handle "now try 2 fingers.."

[@rio197]

I have the same pedal. It's good.

[@sarahhey8654]

"2 fingers" ✌

[@salif130]

thanks bro :), i just buy a piano and i know nothing .

[@Poulscath]

Just a note that this playlist has an advanced chords video in position one which is kinda out of place.

[@willarnold3882]

Thanks for making it so much less intimidating.
