[@virgult]

The one piano teacher who makes me get better on guitar.

[@placidehabineza982]

I play the keys but I am moving to drums. Aimee makes this transition was so easy. Kudos!

[@robingoud7160]

I also watch piano tutorials for guitar. Or guitar for bass, or bass for banjo. Etc doesn't matter that much, theory is theory

[@benkockert982]

@Phoenix Torin i dont give a damn :)

[@frankprial2580]

Brill

[@rlud304]

Me too. I find it easier to understand theory on piano than guitar.

[@Robert-zk1zb]

You deserve a way bigger audience.. Your energy, enthusiasm and ability to translate the language of music as you teach has you in rarified atmosphere. ....In my humble opinion.

[@avatacron60]

I definitely agree with you.

[@oscarmike1131]

Robert yeah what he said

[@exoressdelivers70]

Robert + Actually she has decent numbers considering there are hundreds of piano tutorials on KZbin.

[@AimeeNolte]

Robert thanks guys. ;)

[@clitkillaj9131]

+Aimee Nolte I think you are an Awesome piano teacher ! I just started watching today. Any teacher that can play anything and by ear I'm listening .

[@Benjiroyoface]

aimee beatboxing and hipping us to the hendrix chord is a magnificent vibe

[@Harmanygroves]

I come back again and again to your videos. Great instructor and fabulous musician.

[@jamesanderson7482]

I really like the level of patience you have as a foundational starting point! It really shows the true power of focus!! You're a great teacher!!

[@TheDfrence]

This video is phenomenal. If people only knew how hard it is to actually teach this effectively. In a style like this where the chords are more for structure, those rhythmic elements are so essential to setting the groove or pocket. I’m amazed. What a great teacher!

[@sammyrothrock6981]

I absolutely love the way she breaks it all down ! This girl is a maestro plain and simple ! Her musical tastes mirror mine !

[@gilbarry3]

I agree with Virgult. I just started playing this great song on my guitar and came across this on KZbin when searching for guitar tutorial. I like her relaxed teaching style and liked the way she demonstrated the funky rhythm using the beatbox mouth sounds. Love her funky piano playing

[@Laharpista]

you are SOOOO incredibly patient and thorough. love how you break things down. so detailed! such a talent!

[@esotericist]

I just love these rich chords and funky rhythms. And you, Aimee... are THE. BEST. KZbin. piano teacher. Bar none.

[@AimeeNolte]

esotericist soooooo nice. Thanks.

[@chet.b]

Aimee Nolte Music et la plus belle !😉

[@jackneals5585]

That's one CATCHY song the way you play it. Well done.

[@mijaatin]

You are a true gem for all the piano students who want to learn how to groove! Very well presented all the way!

[@AimeeNolte]

Mika Jaatinen thank you so much. I appreciate that. 👊🏼

[@ThomasJLarsen]

It’s so nice that you accentuate the importance of the beat. All good musicians pay attention to that in body and mind. And you surely are a groovy lady.

[@coulton-davisjazz2872]

You are a wonderful teacher with a wide ranging grasp of styles, rhythms and harmony. Bravissimo.

[@slpsht345]

Thanks so much for posting ! Your clear explanation and vibrant personality really shine !

[@JAYDUBYAH29]

I follow several great music teachers with huge channels, and went to music school decades ago. This is one of the best lessons on KZbin. You’re also such a natural, authoritative yet inviting teacher. Appreciating all your stuff.

[@robbocchino]

This was absolutely wonderful

[@PlayplayplayOrg]

thank you. this is The Key to everything! It's Exactly what I was trying to understand about groove, that it has opened up a whole new world in my listening and playing capabilities. Thank you for breaking it down, it is so helpful. I even share this video with my bandmates who also feel the same way.

[@Fav.234]

From one musician to another all I can say is I love you so much thank you !😊

[@avdenego]

FANTASTIC tutorial. We owe you

[@luiscosme1154]

You taught this so good without even breaking down the fingering for each note. That was excellent!

[@stevebullettown]

You're so great! Thanks for your time, devotion and spirit of sharing your gift!

[@jeffteza682]

Excellent video Aimee. One of the best teaching breakdowns of a sophisticated rhythm (with some nice chord voicings thrown in) I've seen online. you're an excellent teacher.

[@paulwelding]

Just gorgeous 😊

[@edzielinski]

This is great Aimee. You break down the essential elements very lucidly, and then the close up of the hand and finger movements is super helpful. It's also a great sounding accessible musical choice for less experienced players.

[@mcwulf25]

Still working on this. I will get there. I will. I will!!! Thanks Aimee. You have got me interested in playing the piano again. If you were my teacher 40 years ago, life could have been so different!

[@PerspicacityPodcast]

You are incredible.

[@57Sauce]

Wow. So much more than just a piano lesson. Thank you.

[@LeleDeCapitani]

It's a pleasure see you and learn piano

[@MrCelticjazz]

That was an invaluable lesson Aimee thank you! So great to be able to play along as you teach!

[@TheFleetfingers]

Yes! I've been loving this one on guitar and vocal for years, but it sounds a little more proper done your way on the piano (and beatbox). SOUL. Thank you so much.

[@milofryling4654]

Thanks! I appreciate the slow precise breakdown and repetition.

[@lauracozzarelli3789]

I just wanted to say I appreciate you breaking these delicious chords and rhythms down for us, Aimee! It keeps me excited to keep learning more piano (and music theory) :D. Keep up the great work!

[@andyhinds542]

You are, without doubt one of the best music teachers on KZbin.

[@manuelochoa5065]

You’re absolutely awesome and so so funky ! Thank you 🙏🏻 🎹🎹🎶🎵

[@walterwcorreiajr480]

I like your teaching style Aimee! As a drummer that always wanted to play piano, I never really understood how to play funk on piano but the way you just explained it in this video resonated with the drummer in me and made sense to me maybe for the first time. I never thought about it this way. Thanks for giving me a place to start. I enjoy your videos.

[@danwaldis4553]

Well done! I like your videos because when you cover a concept you're articulate and precise without being dull and pedantic. There's freedom and spontaneity in your presentation. Keep making the great videos!

[@jonivancarter5923]

That sound is amazing!

[@tennerondackbassman5271]

This is great ! One of my eureka moments as a bass player was learning to feel the 16th thing to get funky ! You are such a great teacher . Kudos !

[@Dante-qf9yd]

She's amazing!

Thank you Aimee. I really enjoyed this. Played along with you with various chord substitutes. Really fun...

[@johnvaughn4103]

Hey, I am working at learning different things about music. The piano, I really do love it. I am just learning chords, patterns, phrasing and etc. But, I stumbled on your piano instructions and I am absolutely in love with your teaching technique. I really appreciate how you speak and do the explanations. Thank you so very much !

[@FlorianCordier]

Thank you for the video. It's good to start a day practicing a bit of piano !

[@EduardoFariasdui]

Excellent step by step

[@pierre-louisronaldo5857]

Thx I like this progression So good You teach patiently

[@stevenblakeakahashburns]

I'm just seriously starting on piano I play a whole bunch of other instruments relatively well.. guitar bass kalimba sitar drums and synths but you are a bloody good teacher you rip it apart into fragments and explain stuff that we all internalise but pass off and forget about. You, make a point of the small stuff and make it big. Look after the small stuff and the big stuff will look after itself Brilliant teacher

[@AimeeNolte]

+Steve Blake 😍🙏🏼

[@tracycondetcoles9987]

Miss Aimee, You've really got a: Fantastic personality; keeping it real; easy to understand; are also Comical at times. You make perfect sense. I am learning a lot from you, but have to hit the slow motion button quite often, due to it appears to me, You Teach Important or Necessary Stuff. Thanks so much for doing this. !

[@jazzlevit]
