Blues Piano Beginners Lesson on Youtube Learning

[@sandypaiement]

This is probably the most valuable lesson I have seen from you. My excitement of getting this piano and imagining that I can do all the hard hikes before I can walk has been getting in the way of my actual learning. I face this realization now especially after crashing and burning on the more advanced tutorials. Sure, I can pick out and follow the notes, but I don't got rhythm and a solid base of necessary skills. I keep coming back to the easier lessons, and I really appreciate you posting those links below. Now I like to imagine that you ARE standing behind me with a whip and a wooden spoon. I will learn and find joy at my practice sessions. I promise.

Christian you are telling it like it is !! I've been learning with your channel a while and just found this and it is gold. Your advice is truth, ...it's not always easy learning blues, but it is worthwhile. Sometimes I ask myself the question "How bad do I want this" when learning new pieces. It takes a lot of effort sometimes to push myself past my comfort zone in order to progress. I have to go slow, repeat, go slow repeat etc. etc. Then comes the joy in playing something I couldn't play last week Thank you

Oh my goodness! I’m so happy that I found your channel, it’s such a treasure! I can’t believe you have so many videos and not many subscribers... But I’m pretty sure you’ll make it up. Thank you so much sir for sharing your knowledge and for making sheet music prices affordable. Also, ich liebe Berlin!!

[@patsmusicnstuff1026]

Love your sense of humor. My left hand often goes out for a burger so I really need this lesson!

[@kothreat1]

[@walterbarrios9964]

Hello, regards from Chile 🇨🇱. You do not know how usefull was this answer for my questions. Lot of information to process when you are a beginner. Thank you very much for your tutorials

[@WayneGiroux]

Christian , you just made my day by sending this Link and below the video, as your answer from my question: where and how to start from all your outstanding videos. It’s up to me now to put the structure together for my daily practice ( many hours) while I making progress. I am not lazy and will get there . Time and speed are not in my goal. Dankeshoen / merci again ..and drink all the coke you enjoy you are still perfect. :) Nicole from sunshine Florida.

[@garybryansongs]

OK - it's a deal. Thank you very much. I will watch this again - maybe a few times more as I move along this journey just to keep reminding myself of the priorities. I have some old habits to break and new ones to make but I'm going to do this. Thanks again!

[@kinovich]

Great, as always. Thanks Christian!

Great Advice from someone who really does get it! Thank you Christian for all of your hard work and efforts. You continue to share your knowledge and in high quality episodes.My playing has improved by leaps and bounds from the things I have learned from your channel and your sheet music. Many thanks again

[@ChristianFuchsBlues]

Thanks a lot, Ron!

[@jacobortwine7063]

I never thought i could keep rythem and hold my hands in so many different ways. Im a very slow learner and still cant read mucic yet but am learning from your channel and definitely appreciate your channel.

[@memeguaia]

You're amazing, thank you!

[@johnbrow284]

The best strategy is to find a good blues piano teacher. He or she will make a PLAN for you what and how to practice. Unfortunately, there are no such teachers in my town (in Russia) , most of them are piano teachers of classical music (I don't mean to say that they are bad, but ... that's not what I wanted :). My first book was " Improvising Blues Piano" by Tim Richards( you can find it in the Internet) , which was a bit complicated for me as a beginner, anyways -it was a good start to learn the basics, scales , fingerings and it has nice audio samples.

[@ChristianFuchsBlues]

John Brow Very true, what you said in the beginning!

[@suebee2123]

I once read somewhere... "If you didn't gain good hand independence before the age of 12, you will never be an outstanding piano player." I DO NOT accept that! I have played piano "by ear" for many years on an "ok" level; but now at last I will forge those neural pathways in my brain and gain independence - with your cruel (and fun) instruction, Christian

[@sloperdad4835]

Very good advice.!

[@StephenRead444]

Thank you !

[@claudedupras2492]

You're so right. I was looking for something more than "beginner ". Play with good timing first to sound Professional.Thank you. You're teaching is a Masters class for all levels of students. I will ask my wife To show me how to donate $ to you because I'm a dinosaur when it comes to computer stuff. 😎

[@brianharger]

Christian, Do you have phrases to use for the left hand? As in chocolate ice cream..,

[@ChristianFuchsBlues]

Sorry no...

[@less3117]

The big frustration for me is getting my keyboard piano sound to sound good to my ear. I have Casio CTX700 & WK7600 and I bought Addictive Keys 'Upright Piano' & 'Rhodes Mark One' apps. Not sounding good hinders enthusiasm, but I'm still trying after 1 year :)

[@skssuccess75]

Great video. Do you have any videos on how to play more barrelhouse blues like Little Brother Montgomery or Cooney Vaughn?

[@ChristianFuchsBlues]

Not those fellas. Will have a look at what they do...

Could you link the seven-stage course please?

[@jamesdinniss]

HI Christian, great lessons thank you very much. I'm beginning on a very basic keyboard

[@ChristianFuchsBlues]

If you stick to Yamaha you wont go wrong. I tried other stuff and regretted it. Except maybe Roland. But Yamaha offers more for the buck.

[@thomasgore2687]

What is anning formula

[@ChristianFuchsBlues]

I dont understand, Thomas.

[@thomasgore2687]

I see now it is Ammons 7/9 lick Thank you

[@SjaakShirly6559]

Maybe a strange question....do you use your sustain pedal (a lot) when you play blues piano? When I try things (I am a beginner) it doesn’t sound so good with pedal. I am curious what you use. Thanks in advance.

[@ChristianFuchsBlues]

Almost only in slow pieces. You must also learn how to use it. Its not like : Down and great it sounds.

[@SjaakShirly6559]

Christian Fuchs thanks! No, I am aware of it. For slow blues it is a good advice. Have a nice Sunday.

[@ernieson1325]

I’m tired for you. You’re longer winded than I even imagined. Great tutorial. My ears hurt a bit though. Love ya stay well.

"Putting the cart before the horse" is the saying you were looking for.

I have a piece of paper taped just above the keyboard, "How much do you want it?"

[@amandablackshaw1709]

The 'singer' joke is sexist! Very unfashionable these days. However I am grateful for your content, thank you.

[@ChristianFuchsBlues]

Musicians jokes target by definition idiosyncrasies of the profession, not of the female sex. Example: psychologist joke, there are plenty often has a female part who says something funny stereotypic of the common clichees. No one would ever categorise such a joke as sexist. Apart from that 99 % of my jokes are at the cost of men, including myself. I would say I spend a lot of time discrediting men. Which is quite in favor of the womens cause. Which I of course support. Cause I can think and therefore dont care for fashion. ;-)
