Same as always.. teaching it from the soul, not from the book.. 👌👍

[@andabien3]

I love this. You are not only showing technique and theory, you are explaining the emotion of the music. Perfect, Keep it up.

[@johnbell913]

It gets much better every time I come back. Great job. Thank you.

[@briankelly2670]

Thank you very much for this video Christian, I have learnt the differents between playing notes and playing music

[@fella11814]

Christian, greetings from the U.S.! This video is absolutely amazing. I love the way that you give the notes you want us to pay attention to so much character as you describe what you're doing. This is incredibly helpful to me as a beginning piano player! Cheers!

[@defons1234]

Discovering you on utube was the best thing that happened to me in my learning to play blues piano thanks Christian be safe, you are the greatest piano teacher I wish I lived in Germany so I could have private lessons

[@ChristianFuchsBlues]

mahendra D thanks Mahendra!:-)

[@bobmlambert]

I’ve played blues on the piano and organ and guitar for a long time and I truly enjoyed the lesson. It offered new ways to look at and leverage the scale. Thanks so much from Southern California...

[@TheBlackD]

10 minutes in it and learned much more than after 3 hours of random tutorials. Great great way of teaching !

[@rosemarynyambura4015]

Honestly I am really excited to get this lesson. I had given up on blue scales but this teacher has made it so easy. I cannot believe it. Within 5min I was playing something

[@SourireDArabe]

It's true

[@maximthefox]

@@rosemarynyambura4015 in 5 minutes? :O I'm still trying to run my fingers up and down the scale correctly and I've been at it for a while now ahaha

This is such a brilliant tutorial I wish I’d have found this ages ago it just makes sense of everything and in a simple manner, thank you for sharing this with us ...

[@mikegeorge2273]

Best lesson on the blues Scale I've come across. Many thanks, you have a fantastic way of conveying the emotion and dynamic of the music you are playing. Many thanks.

[@briannigli5582]

You have explained the blues scale brilliantly .... 👌 Thanks 👍

[@davesax11]

Excellent lesson. Small building blocks. Focus on hearing and working with just a few notes - opening up the possibilities.

[@jeanaffleck848]

Really enjoyed learning... keyboard is smoking......thank you so much.....from North East England

[@evanwest4751]

I can not thank you enough for these suggestions. I was looking for something to get me thinking in a blues mode and this was incredibly helpful. I kept pausing the video to experiment around and I'm guessing that's exactly what the aim of this video was. Bravo, you've definitely earned my subscription.

[@dougbagby3493]

Hey everyone, your not going to get a better explanation of how to play the blues by anyone else on KZbin other than the slow, methodical explanation of Christian. Just brilliant!

[@defons1234]

excellent, informative, clear, Thank you.

[@pianosuk]

These Videos are really good, it shows great kindness making videos showing so much knowledge. In a way so musicians can absorb it.

[@stradaveriusfiddle]

💨Very much appreciated! I'm just recently discovering your videos, and the elements of blues , with your approach to using them, is what I've looked for in music tutorials for quite a while. 🌈🎶🎹

[@ChristianFuchsBlues]

Thanks! Great I found you, too!

[@bluetokenz]

Your videos are true gems and so is your heartfelt teaching. Just when I thought they couldn't get any better, inspiring, and helpful, this video came out. Looking forward to the sequels my friend! Thank you so much. This video will be considered a timeless classic teaching years from now.

[@ChristianFuchsBlues]

That sound just great, Tota! That they get better might also be due to my own learning process with online teaching. Keep on rocking!

[@haroldvondenstein]

LOVE THIS!!! Thank you....you stand out from the crowd!...relevant and interesting.

I'm now 18 and I can go out for a drink! Awesome analogy!

[@lindabagby9230]

would it be safe or correct to say that any note other than the home C is a tension note in the C blues scale? thanks for your videos!

[@vincentremue4147]

what a teacher!!! Thanks !!!

[@inigogortazar2836]

The magic is on its way, thanks man! =)

[@RealGoldRealWealth]

Uh uh... Ain't comin' home yet Momma! Christian thank you for sharing your coaching skills with us and showing us beginners how to both understand and create tension in our playing. Really appreciate your work.

[@johnwalker1474]

This one of the best and most helpful videos I have seen on using the C blues scale! Loved the joke about the homeless musician as well. Actually made me laugh out loud. Many thanks for putting these instructional videos on KZbin Christian. They are a great help and I have learnt so much from them! Keep up the good work.

[@ChristianFuchsBlues]

Thanks John!

[@lapalabramagica6647]

Thank you, I have improvisation lessons at the Conservatory but nobody explains these things. You are great!

THIS is the BEST explanation of blues I've ever heard. Thanks for the video and thank you for the blues emotion.

[@zainalenal7003]

Very helpfull the way you teach us..thanks so much..

[@ChristianFuchsBlues]

Again, cause its so important for many: Now you can slow down the video on KZbin (not just in apps). I get carried away so often without realizing. Its ON the video display, the little wheel with "HD" in red on it. Put it on 75% , it still sound good, and makes a good difference.

[@pieterbergsma8763]

Excellent!

[@javierloya4086]

Muchas gracias for the lesson, I’m barely a beginner and I love the blues so this video is a lot of help.

[@nick4985]

Excellent - discovering your tutorials has been my best gift this Christmas - although my family think the headphones for my piano were !! - I will persevere and thank you for these superb tutorials which have real personality enforcing the technique in a very entertaining and memorable way and taking away some of the mystery !

[@ChristianFuchsBlues]

:-)) Family can be so wrong...

[@heiko6983]

Christian! You are the best😀 At least for me. Your bow and arrow allegorie is great and funny. And the one with the inertia force also. By the way, My name for the root is „home base“ like in baseball. I love the way you transcend the blues into your innocent humor, which I like as much as your music. Thanxx. Go ahead

[@geoffgrigg]

Slowing that down to 75% was technically better for me as a beginner, but it also showed different aspects of your interesting character. So it was better in many ways. That was so good thank you. Every time I work through your videos I feel like I get married again!

[@ChristianFuchsBlues]

You can further slow down every KZbin video in the videos menu. Lets hope you liked getting married in the first place...

[@Atmatv-ys2wz]

Brilliant........ very clear, very helpful... Love it.

[@OLIVIER-SHOW]

A great tutorial. Thanks to this video I got a little light up in my head and some ideas came to my mind. I go to the piano to practice. I think it will enrich my new boogie-woogie :)

[@less3117]

I bought my keyboard 6 months ago, learned the C Blues Scale and ever since I have been playing simple improvisations with it (I'm now an expert at simple C Blues improvs, haha). Anyway, I have been getting very bored. Now, now! I know how to progress and make the C Blues (and other keys) scale really sing. What a great lesson. Thanks from London!

u have best intention for humanity to teach blues. and i dont have any negativity or hesitation to learn with your helpful videos. greetins from istanbul ❤👍 thank u for efforts

[@ChristianFuchsBlues]

Hello Leyla, a big welcome on my channel! Well "best intentions on humanity" is slightly too big pants for me ;-). But if I get a couple of thousand people from different countries and religions together these days, where left and right, black and white don´t make people yell at each other ( cause it´s just describing the thing in front of them which makes music) then this is my little contribution. Ah...and you learn Blues, too! :-)

[@cynthiareedy5704]

Love the way you teach !!!

[@hernandocortez6351]

Great stuff! Putting the feelings and techniques of the blues piano into words, the building and releasing of tension, etc. helps me so much as a beginner.

[@Jugflyer]

I know that music is all about making the listener feel something. I suppose it's the same with any art, be it oil painting, ballet or what have you. The mathematics of musical theory have always been readily available (intervals, triads, inversions, etc., but what is the strategy for creating the emotion you want your audience to feel? Christian is wonderful about explaining the tactics of achieving this. And his whimsical sense of humor makes the lessons stick. I really enjoy learning from this nice fellow. Thank you, Christian.

[@rachelsmename6]

My jazz piano teacher is starting me off on blues improvisation using the Minor blues scale and the major blues scale. Because I'm very new at it, I'm finding that the hardest part for me right now is keeping track of what measure I'm in while I'm improvising. So trying to keep 4/4 time by keeping four beats to the measure and not accidentally 5! I'm trying to use the chords in my left hand to help with that, but it's like multitasking for me. With practice I'm sure it will get easier.

[@lukemcmillan5264]

Nice tutorial sir
