Beginning Gospel Piano: 6 Tips to Get You Started

[@40wonder]

I know this is an older video, but tip 4 on passing chords is by far the QUICKEST, EASIEST AND BEST understanding of implementing passing chords on youtube. I've never grasped it so elementary. Thank you sooo much. As a beginner, you've catapulted my learning.

[@christianentertainmentoutdoors]

This style is what I'm looking for. I play piano at my local Baptist church. I am just playing by ear and trying to be musical, but I don't know the style. Every video on KZbin is more of a modern Gospel. I need THIS.

[@MangoldProject]

Haha, I just got another comment saying he needed modern gospel. Maybe I'll make that video next :)

[@PIANOSTYLE100]

MangoldProject what is modern gospel style... I would assume very jazzy.

[@christianentertainmentoutdoors]

Yes, more Jazzy, blended with a Black Gospel sound, IMO.

[@PIANOSTYLE100]

Mike Baker I think it's progressions.. they tend to be 7 2 5s or something like that..

[@pgtips4240]

I'm not too fussy, but just please do sooo many videos on Gospel piano. You are such a talented musician, would love to have your touch and ability.

[@natanasgedom7369]

You are one of the best teachers in KZbin!!! Thanks for the lessons, you’ve helped me so much progress on the piano

[@Hamfantasy56]

What a gift your lessons are! to me this gospel one is so useful and "mind opening" with passing chords tips etc. I can apply to my Hammond organ playing..please go on, particulary with gospel&blues-gospel style which is so nice on Hammond organ: thanks a lot, God bless

[@ricwelbre2270]

Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else is searching for how to play the piano try Lomonting Piano Player Mentor (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my mate got great success with it.

[@brendaflanagan1914]

Thank you. I am a beginner and really wish to learn to play gospel. I love your videos for learning.

[@guindydelysma6913]

You are such a good teacher man! I have a couple of days following you, I have already found a lot. Keep doing this work man, God will not stop blessing for that. The way you explain the notes is awesome! Congratulation man!

[@ripplingwaterz123]

Im a classical pianist-i subscribed after the first two minutes

[@myahgormley9788]

Same with me!! Lol

[@gsusmakama]

remember to be realistic - you will need to put in a bit of work whatever system you use for learning to play piano I've been studying how to play piano and found a great resource at TurboPianoSecret.com (check it out on google)

[@88pynogrl]

SAME!!!❤️❤️👍

[@Akhil-gd1fl]

Best online piano teacher 🙏👏👏👏👏You just saved my life! Thank you

[@michaelwong5356]

Great tutorial. You just unlocked the sound in my head with awesome simple and clear explanation. Thanks.

[@loveit8602]

You're an amazing teacher. So clear and concise.

[@trantusmaximus3412]

Thank you for your tips and tutorials. You have a great, easy to follow teaching style and very useful, relevant tutorials. The different voicings really add color and surprise to solo piano. Learning to play more than what is written is invaluable and tough to teach.

[@anthonyscott16]

Another great lesson with useful tips presented in an easy to understand format. Thank you

[@ambrmrls]

Best gospel piano tutorial video I’ve seen so far!!! Thank you!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Abena425]

Thanks so much. You are an awesome teacher! I use your 4 to 1 progression all the time as background during service.

[@II-V-I]

Close to perfection! You're such a talented gem of a teacher! Love the layout with those chords above.

[@MrBird-np8nf]

Special thanks to you! You explained it very clearly and i feel like a gospel genius thank you!

[@MangoldProject]

Glad it helped!

[@Ahijahprince]

Thank you! I'll be playing Gospel tonight! Really, I'm planning on surprising my mom. This is music she can relate to!😉

[@MangoldProject]

Awesome. Let us know how that went :)

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

Merci beaucoup. Your videos are tantalyzingly slightly above my level of playing but not of understanding. So I can apply them, and advance. Very motivating subjects.

[@MangoldProject]

Excellent!

[@peterm8517]

You have really good tips :o) Please continue making more tutorials on gospel piano! Thanks!!

[@carlotapuig]

Fantastic tutorial. All the tips were immediately applicable and worked for me

[@MangoldProject]

Cool!

[@pianoproductions9059]

Great traditional gospel explanation so helpful! :)

[@teedtad2534]

This lesson becomes more SiMPLE when he NAMES EACH CHORD by LETTERS! 🔥💯🔥💯🔥

[@mikew5207]

Beautiful, wow i wish i found you sooner! Thanks for all your tutorials.

[@MoPoppins]

Another great lesson...thank you! :) Thanks for breaking down the grace notes. Very helpful tip.

[@starboy288]

It's really good of you to share your piano knowledge with other players and beginners. At what age did you begin and where did you study? On the more complicated lessons, go a little slower and show every move distinctly. Thanks for all you've done for piano players.

[@MangoldProject]

I started at age 14 and practiced seriously (i.e. several hours a day) up until age 19 or so.

[@insidechocolatewithjimothy5313]

Fantastic stuff again. Love the 4 over 5, but it is all really useful.

[@signetulupan]

He’s amazing! Namaste!

[@TheGuitarrmann]

This is a great tutorial! I heard these things happening and picked them up myself. Wish I had this video two years ago!

[@nixonkutz3018]

Gorgeous, just the style I want to learn to improvise. Thanks!

[@YatJac]

You are a gifted teacher! Thank you.

[@mojoefelix]

I really love this. I am going to learn to play everything in this lesson as my initial foray into piano. Whenever I hear gospel style it touches such a warm emotional place and creates an immediate impulse in me to play piano.

[@ronwill1955]

Thank you for taking the time to do this. Peace

[@christianentertainmentoutdoors]

Yes! More, please.

[@garygross1085]

Really enjoyed your teaching.

[@dubsbarry9963]

Great teacher and you got the sound down

[@jasonnull1692]

Beautiful sound and clear explanation.

[@MangoldProject]

Glad it was helpful!

[@mrsmarilynbrown]

This is a great video, I’ve played piano for most of my life, and these tips are specific to the genre, but general enough to apply to songs I’m learning. Just subscribed! Thanks!

[@mysterybae829]

Simple and easy to learn, thanks

[@PIANOSTYLE100]

Great lesson maestro.

[@elenaandmarvinmusic]

I just discovered you, thank you so much, I totally needed this tips :)

[@dianesmith2923]

Even though I am too much of a beginner to play like this, you really inspire me to keep trying. Love your videos, thank you so much.

[@MangoldProject]

Great! Keep on practicing and you'll catch up in no time :)

[@johnbresnik]

This is good stuff - glad I found you. I'm a jazz pianist and would love to learn this gospel style - it looks like I found the place to do it.

[@susansykes9110]

Excellent teaching style. I’m following you!

[@MisterstereoOso]

It’s unanimous, you’re a great teacher & these gospel phrasing’s are wonderful, thanks for make another beginner very 😊 happy ! Thanks for your generosity, peace & love from England...🎹😍

[@capalmer2495]

Very valuable and well done. Thank you.

[@letoilededieu5347]

Thank you so much it was really instructive!

[@lisaguerrero1671]

You are too good!! Thank you!!

[@MangoldProject]

My pleasure.

[@obinnacollins7602]

God Bless you sir, I really enjoyed the way you play. It looks very simple but not for the type of my person. I love listening to piano alot, it gives me joy each time I hear the sound. But I'm very sad because I don't know how to play it. Please sir I need best tutorials for beginner who has not played before. Will be very glad to learn from you.

[@MangoldProject]

Try my "Piano for Beginners" series.

[@obinnacollins7602]

Thanks alot, will give it a try

[@ejshelby5460]

hey man, would it be possible to sort of give an overarching outline of "what is gospel style piano", something like that, a high level summary of origin, technical characteristics, and the boundary conditions where the playing no longer consider gospel and cross over to another genra?

[@Sewmore]

It would be nice if you used some of those passing notes in a hymn to show us an instant where it would fit. . Thanks for the helps! Thanks

[@robertrussellmusicministri4975]

Another excellent instruction

[@vsevolodlvov4381]

Thank you so much for these tips!Love your channel! Yesterday began to look through all your videos from 2007. Wonderful lessons! Очень круто!!!

hi everyone ,if anyone else trying to find out how can i learn to play piano quickly try Nadazma Simple Piano Helper (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my mate got cool results with it.

[@jcmlofi9324]

What kind of gospel music would incorporate these tips the most? I’m trying to find a playlist on Spotify or KZbin that would be more full sounding in chords like your tutorial. Thank you in advance!

[@richardsimoes7589]

Thank you sir!

[@upwindstudio]

Very useful tutorial! May i know which piano plugin can show the chords playing?

[@michaelmclaughlin8671]

Great tutorial. Is there a sheet music download for the piece you play at the beginning of this lesson?

[@TheEphips]

Great video, thanks! Is that a particular song you're playing at the beginning?

[@lizz333]

Wonderful. 😭❤️

[@rickskehan4146]

Awesome! Thx!

[@seamanjive]

There is a lot of stuff here. Some of it I was working towards, I could HEAR it but didn't know how to PLAY it !. Actually, I didn't really know that the style I'm to emulate is gospel !

[@arthurrollins9234]

Would you show me a easy scale to use on piano in gospel music?

[@amrum01]

Really great tips. They work immediately

[@PIANOSTYLE100]

Nice playing.. nice group of chords.just some thoughts..I follow you and saw your grace note video.. it is very unique.. If I'm playing in F sometimes I go to the b7( flat 7) (Eb) then the four chord Bb.. I like the ninths...they give flavor..Also I favor the d blues mixed with f blues..I definitely like full chords, diminished passing chords and the sixths definitely are great.. especially Barry Harris.. Really like your music reading lessons.. still working on the Kinemaster video editor.

[@MangoldProject]

Thanks for sharing! It's the little things that set one's playing apart - grace notes, passing chords, little counterpoints, etc ...

[@daniellieske]

This might be a stupid question, but what software do you use to display the piano keys and the chords in realtime in your video?

[@MangoldProject]

ChordieApp.

[@MoPoppins]

Not a dumb question at all. I'm sure others are wondering...I was.

[@neil_keys]

I asked me the same bro 😂😂

[@djongz1]

I would also like to know

[@JourneywithQuojo]

Kindly make a video on Gospel songs too. 😊😊 Thank you

[@MangoldProject]

Any songs in particular?

[@MikeFloutier]

Love all this, especially the bluesy, jazzy fat chords and licks. Trouble is that I'm mainly playing in a CCM environment and I'm puzzled how to integrate (nicely) this (new to me) stuff. For example, even a "1st inversion passing" seems to be fighting a band that is playing, say, 1 > 4 straight and simple. Any tips would be great, although I'm guessing that the answer is "just stick to the relevant genre", after all, you don't want Jimi Hendrix playing in a traditional classical orchestra.

[@MangoldProject]

It's hard to say without actually discussing a concrete example ... If you can send a link to a video and point out a specific timestamp maybe I can provide a more informed answer.

[@ThatCherriePie]

Nice video man

[@tntwashpro3863]

When you said Gospel I got a bit excited...but when I heard you play I was like😫..this style is very old school gospel and not modern. Not to take away from you skill set...I think your playing is amazing.. Thanks

[@PIANOSTYLE100]

Mike A Whose style do you like.. I'm always trying to pick up different styles.

[@MangoldProject]

Good to know! Maybe I'll make a modern gospel video next. Who would you say your top 1-2 modern gospel players are?

[@tntwashpro3863]

PIANOSTYLE100 there is a guy on KZbin called"dappytkey piano worship"...I really like the way he plays

[@tntwashpro3863]

MangoldProject there is a guy on KZbin called "dappytkey piano worship." He is a very good gospel piano play. I'm trying to learn how to play but not sure how to get there. I really like the way he plays. I've seen many of your videos and I must say that your skill is on the level. I would like to have your knowledge but I get so frustrated on how to practice and what. Any way if you could teach a bit on modern gospel that would be cool. Thanks

[@CalvinJacobStevenson]

@@ahryan8557 There are lots of videos on KZbin. You should also make the distinction between "new" and "old" gospel (this video leans towards the "older" style).

Appreciate video content! Sorry for chiming in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you ever tried - Dinanlinson Detox System Approach (do a google search)? It is a smashing one of a kind product for revealing the secret to master the piano minus the hard work. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my friend got great results with it.
