Funk Piano Lesson Swinging 16ths (Learn in the Groove! - G7)

[@pianoproductivitypeace]

I've made a follow-up lesson for this video - same groove and chord progression but focusing on Right Hand improvisation - enjoy! kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaDFoGmZa76GmM0

30 yrs later I finally got the idea.... now I understand how a Hohner Clavinet can be used properly... Respect. No fluff and genuine friendly non pretentious Berkley stiffer lip attitude . Bravo !

[@pianoproductivitypeace]

Thanks so much really appreciate your comment - happy funking!!

[@artemisnite]

This is hands down the best tutorial style I have ever seen. My guitar gurus talk, then they play what they explained, then they stop and tell you what they did and explain what they're gonna do next... the halting nature is completely eliminated here. Not a moment wasted. I'm learning the concepts WHILE gaining the muscle memory . 😮Brilliant methodology! I'm gonna get so much out of this! Thanks so much for sharing ! Subbed! ❤

[@pianoproductivitypeace]

Awesome!! So glad this suits your style! I'm not a guitarist but it was this dude who kicked off the idea for me kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3W1ZWCpfr2ihqcsi=-2LuXMAmLbpQBZBG - now I'm pretty keen to make a series in this style, it's a lot of fun :) Thanks for the comment!

[@elunico13]

Now this is a fun tutorial with the track playing in the background. It keeps the pace of the teaching and concepts are played in context after the explanation

[@lloydmoss217]

Something I always wanted to learn, but no one ever explained it as clearly as you! Thanks!

[@MrRezRising]

Just started playing piano. Been on drums since '85. This was what I needed.

[@pianoproductivitypeace]

Awesome - You've already got the groove! Happy practising :)

[@oridoron7]

Never came across anyone in YT teaches like that! Keep going, you are a pioneer of a great method!

[@pianoproductivitypeace]

Woohoo thanks for that - they are super fun and satisfying to make and have so many other styles piano techniques I want to tackle too! I have a new one finished soon - Right Hand E minor funk improv - thanks for the comment :)

[@sloperdad4835]

Excellent way to demonstrate.

[@markusloretan5613]

Thank you for this great tutorial. Very, very funky.....

[@pianoproductivitypeace]

Thanks for that, enjoy :)

[@jeromehealy2925]

You do an awesome job of teaching with a well constructed lesson sequence. I taught for 32 years, so I really appreciate your approach. Keep it up.

[@pianoproductivitypeace]

Thanks so much for the comment, so glad you like this approach - cheers!

Fantastic... ghost notes, parallel chords, octave full stop... thanks!

[@pianoproductivitypeace]

Many thanks!

[@gnawbabygnaw]

I don’t play the piano. This makes me want to learn. I’ve been banging around on the guitar for 40+ years. A piano salesman once told me it would be easy since I know chords and songs. Lol. I’m sure he was right. I gotta get on this. Thank you.

[@pianoproductivitypeace]

Woohoo! Yes it'd be a great advantage knowing another instrument! PS this is my inspiration for this teaching style - made me want to learn guitar! kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3W1ZWCpfr2ihqcsi=Jq_LLzeO_25fIK_u

5 minutes in and I am overwhelmed 🐥 thanks so much for this video that's exactly what I was looking for since I compose my funky song on piano 💞

Special thanks for back track link💚

[@pianoproductivitypeace]

Hooray, glad this has helped :)

[@pianoproductivitypeace]

Thank you @lloydmoss217 for the suggestion of posting the backing track from the lesson to practice in G Mixolydian - you can now check this out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJzSaWWdd5h9kLc

[@marenmarne]

Спасибо ютубу за рекомендацию! И вам!)

[@pianoproductivitypeace]

Cheers!

[@jeffjohnson7381]

Love this style something that fits in with my blues preference in general…would love to see a tutorial on some slow funk and blues riffs etc🎹🎶❤

[@pianoproductivitypeace]

I'm so glad it's working for you - my next video will be same groove and key but focussing on RH improvisation building up in complexity but including blues riffs - with call and response exercises, I'm pretty excited about it and hoping to get it finished next week. I do have a Blues shuffle tutorial kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3KtYYmDbpmpaLMsi=QHyZ9oT23Ks7v9Rw but I'm also keen to eventually do a slow 12/8 blues groove too - cheers for the suggestions!

Holy crap, this is the best video I have ever seen which makes it feel simple. Thank you. ❤ I don’t suppose you have the tab for the bass? 😬

[@pianoproductivitypeace]

Hey thanks so much for your comment ! Unfortunately I don't have a tab for this, but you might be interested in the track 'Klunky' by Directions in Groove which inspired me to write this bassline I couldn't find a tab for that on first glance but it may be out there? Regardless, I hope you enjoy the track as much as I did! kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5ewfWODraadsNUsi=QdQYIx13tOeyxqQH

Thank you!

[@tonyr.4778]

If you want to funk, the you need to push the down beat. In other words, the Bass should not go to the first, but hit the root on the 16th before the beat and leave the downbeat empty.

[@pianoproductivitypeace]

Cheers will explore this :)

[@tonyr.4778]

Can you post the backing track of bass & Drums please? Such a great groove!

Cool I can certainly get onto that - Glad you enjoyed it :)

Take a Look at Jonathan Wilson….. Funk piano and learn. Sorry for Englisch.

Will do :)

[@ppete97]

Do you have any music on Spotify love yr style 😃

[@pianoproductivitypeace]

Appreciate that! I've played on other people's releases but don't really have any funk out there released sorry - thanks for mentioning that though I appreciate your comment and perhaps I might look into writing some stuff in the future :)

[@WunHungLo99]

It's better known as a shuffle feel rather than swing

[@pianoproductivitypeace]

Yeah that's one way to look at it - I would say that it's closer to a 'halftime shuffle' as the backbeat (snare) has 6 triplet subdivisions rather than 3. But I've also seen sheet music with 'Swinging 16ths' on the title page - same thing, different ways to express it :)

[@andrewr3969]

When playing with a bassist do you leave out the left hand?

[@pianoproductivitypeace]

Good question, Short answer is yes you can leave the left hand out without affecting the overall sound I usually leave my left hand in to feel where one is and for the ghost notes effect, but you do need to be careful not to be too busy in the left hand when playing with a bass player ... In this video there is a bass line as well as the keyboard left hand and because the left hand keyboard part is relatively simple and sparse they don't seem to clash in my opinion. Cheers!
