Fastest Way To Improve Your Rhythm (Piano Lesson)

From understanding rhythmic subdivisions to grooving with popular chord patterns with Kevin Castro (Professional Pianist & Pianote Coach), each chapter of this video unveils a key element of musical timing.

Just some advice to my fellow beginners to get started on polyrhythms: it can help to think in terms of the lowest common multiple. In the first example, instead of thinking of the left hand doing 2-beat measures and the right hand doing a 3-beat measures, think in terms of 6-beat measures. Then the left hand goes on 1 and 4, while the right f goes on 1, 3, and 5.

Ok. I’m a newbie … where’s the 2?

[@JamieV83]

​@@daxter7913nothing happens on the 2 I'm guessing

[@troelstrc]

@@JamieV83 and 6 nothing happens. 1 - both And- nothing 2- right And- left 3- right And- nothing

[@recuerdos2457]

The 4 is the problem for most beginner

[@charmainedsouza9527]

Your lesson is great! My favorite pattern is the last one.

[@davidbalan6571]

1 . Start with a slow tempo . 2 . Practice against a metronome or recording. 3. Best dividing for a more Accurate Rhythm Timing Performance. 4 . Practice Rhythm and Timing on different instruments . 5 . Learn to identify Different time Signatures.

[@bobbybirchall7984]

The last polyrhythm example reminds me of Saturday in the Park by Chicago.

Count triplet like this: one-trip-let, two-trip-let, three-trip-let, four-trip-let

[@liyakatbawade3546]

Thanx Sir it is awesome 👏👏👏

[@PianoteOfficial]

Most welcome!!

[@samuelsetiawan159]

sooo nice

[@gilesmoss5860]

Great lesson, thanks! When noodling around I tend to find myself firmly stuck in the pop progression, so I'll definitely give the 3/2 poly a go now. I tend to count the pop progression as "1-2-3, 1-2-3, 1-2", which is probably 'wrong', I know I should count in "1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &" but somehow my brain clicked and it's hard to re-learn. Still, the end result is the same.

[@catherine6653]

Thank you 😊

[@PianoteOfficial]

Thanks for watching!

YES! Vintage Chicago

[@Schollii68]

I will definitely try those, thanks! But I can't see a link to the backing track and sheet to practice with.

Hi there! Is saw that the ‘Piano Chords & Scales The Ultimate Guide’ is only available as pre-order. Any guesses on when it will be back in stock (days/months)? Thank you! 😊

[@PianoteOfficial]

It should be back in stock very soon within the next few weeks!

[@willieervinjr2764]

The polyrhythm was my favorite

[@PianoteOfficial]

That one is our fav as well!

[@iWhy_Music]

after 3 years of everyday practicing achieved 348 bpm both hands playing your first approach, but to be that fast is to hard(both hands playing) nowadays is around 290 bpm)

[@PianoteOfficial]

Now that is some serious speed!

[@xliquidflames]

"Not my tempo!" **Throws crash cymbal at his head**

[@christiancampbell6170]

Hey I love your videos I was wondering can u do a tutorial on how to play Speed Of Sound by Coldplay track 7 from their 3rd album X&Y I am having a hard time learning the piano intro to the song

[@podcastprofologi9942]

this is the same studio as Drumeo right? does anyone know what others channel their have? maybe vocal? guitar? or none?

[@PianoteOfficial]

Guitareo and Singeo!

[@podcastprofologi9942]

@@PianoteOfficial Thankyou!

[@JimBluePiano]

Just curious what are those in your ears?

[@jjwinsley3776]

In-ear monitor

[@galeem713]

And when there are two 8th notes together, why only play one note.

[@carlgrainger2669]

This was not too shabby at all. Please continue …

[@galeem713]

Unless I am playing at the same time and tempo, my hands stop. I’m seriously considering selling my keyboard, all my music sheets, my courses, metronome and circle of fifths.

[@charlenemisuraca3473]

don't give up!! i just started a year ago and i can play lead sheets with confidence now im aiming to learn more with the rhythms now and it is challenging but Don't Give Up!! give yourself grace and patience and work on it little by little and your brain will adjust and you'll surprise yourself!!!

[@tcuster55]

As adults it's sometimes very uncomfortable learning new things. Rythym is very hard for me too . Just keep chipping away even if its the basics and you will see progress. Things really clicked for me when I got to lessons using songs I really liked.

[@mvl_5.31]

"Rhythym is kinda like Meth" I know😉

[@ardiris2715]

Ahem. Guitar fingerpicking. (:
