Great instructional video! In regard to left-right hand independence, I agree that it's very important to start off playing very slowly as long as need be. I might add that by playing slowly, one programs the brain's 'action potentials' and chemical neurotransmitters for what one is trying to accomplish with left-right hand independence. Then slowly, but surely the left-right hand independence starts to become easier and easier. Then you can eventually move faster and faster, because the brain has been programmed in that regard.

Been practicing like this for a few months now and I can literally text a friend while keeping a steady 12 bar blues in my left hand!

[@JimArbuthnot]

Wish I'd found this year's back, it's pretty much what I did, but it would have been much faster learning if it had been structured and shown to me like this. I learned some fancy licks but couldn't play them with a left hand part. I was trying to run before I got my shoes on!! This method is spot on!

[@jeremywaller9234]

spending time with a grandchild of almost 2 yrs reinforces for me Tom's point about progress and taking it slow. We all want speed and complexity but some of the greatest blues is slow, real slow and really simple. Small steps. Great lessons here. Play slow, again and again, and the speed will be around the next corner. Listening to the music that galvanised me to try playing blues also helps always. Tom's lesson is hugely relevant as usual. And progress in blues opens new portals to jazz, very naturally, I found.

Best piano lessons ever from the London Contemporary School of Piano!

[@contemporaryschoolofpiano]

Thankyou!

[@jeffshirkey3085]

8:15 and onward--exactly what I was looking for and hoping to find here. Wonderful. Thank you. What would the next steps be to make steady progress?

[@jobaute3984]

This is good! Thanks!

[@MikeukHB]

Thanks great feeling when autopilot kicks in eventually on that left hand

[@contemporaryschoolofpiano]

It's a wonderful place to be when that happens. Fantastic to hear! Keep going, it keeps getting better.

[@pierrevanhalteren5733]

Thank you. Must not be easy for you to understand the difficulties of being a beginner. You do that very well.

[@randymaya417]

More!!, please❤️

[@scottbateman8514]

You have the best teaching approach and technique. Thank you

[@Tina_Siri]

Oh yeah!Cool Stuff and playing. Thank you!

[@jeffjohnson7381]

This type of lesson is perfect for me because I’m a beginner when it comes to blues 🎹…can you continue this type of lesson and progress my coordination with both hands as well as different rhythms…Slow blues play would be great with one left hand chord with right hand runs etc…again keep these coming ❤

[@santiagoacosta3372]

I cannot believe this video was uploaded a week ago This 25th I have an interview with Berklee and I want to be ready, this video came in the perfect moment

[@contemporaryschoolofpiano]

Best of luck with your interview!!

[@bernardoloo2023]

I hear that to be a great pianist you must divide your brain into to two..this will help me big time bro.. thanks

[@contemporaryschoolofpiano]

I like to see it as both hands have to work and understand each other....

[@yurkinsongromov7998]

Another great tutorial from Tom! 👌 Thank you 🙏 I'm looking forward for your next blues video (hopefully soon:)

[@contemporaryschoolofpiano]

A few more Blues Topics are on the horizon!

[@jlhc1552]

Excellent teacher, but no so easy I will try, and try, and.... May be one day ! Thanks a lot

[@contemporaryschoolofpiano]

Yes not easy at all, but there are some steps to push through with!

[@jonrocker1983]

Thank you so so so much!! after few tries I feel like I finally unlocked something in my technique....this exercise progression is so valuable!

[@contemporaryschoolofpiano]

Great to hear that, this is a valuable way to practice and measure how you are doing.

[@Nickramsdale]

Good step by step process, thanks

[@contemporaryschoolofpiano]

Yes, it really helps!

[@wendellsather3650]

I would like to receive the free blues piano pack

[@contemporaryschoolofpiano]

Visit our website, www.contemporaryschoolofpiano.com, enquiry our about Free Resources Pack and you will immediately be sent an email, with instructions and the links. Please read the instructions, and check your spam box just in case.

[@MikeM91320]

Holy smokes..as a real beginner this is hard. I got going pretty fast with just the LH but playing a 7th chord with RH was a real challenge, so I just tryied playing a C Maj chord and i had to go sooooo slow and still make mistakes. I guess this will take some time. 😀

[@michaeltettenborn2053]

Thanks- you really started quite well for Blues beginners - with good advices for little steps forward- unfortunately you then lost your own aim and don't continue by teaching step by step forward- slowly- but you enjoyed too much ( as most musicians do ) your own play - and so let us beginners back and lost on the road......mitch from germany

[@kzeich]

Nobody has ever mastered their instrument get a comfy chair and enjoy the process

[@ToastandJam52]

I keep asking for these handouts via your website and I get nothing. Given up. Just show the handouts so those of us that are ignored can grab a screenshot.

[@contemporaryschoolofpiano]

Hi Toasted Jam. As I said to you in a previous video comment you made. We absolutely 100 percent answer everyone's email that we receive. Have you checked your spam box? Have you emailed us at [e-mail] you can also try [e-mail]? We are very generous with the material and productions that we make, so it would be more effective to find out what is happening with the email comms rather than take cheap shots that we ignore people's emails.

[@sidpackard8613]

There’s obviously a problem on your end. They responded to me in about three hours.

[@contemporaryschoolofpiano]

@@sidpackard8613, thank you so much for noting the service of our remarkable admin team, who answer literally hundreds of emails in a 48-hour time frame. And when people take to KZbin to tell us we didn't respond to them (when we did) and we mention the spam box issues or just ask them to double check their email. We never get a response from them...I start to wonder if they ever got in touch with us in the first place. On a more positive and exciting note, we have just completed building a specialized web page that shares ALL of our KZbin resources with the wider YT community. So it's really a great idea to get in touch with us via our site www.contemporaryschoolofpiano.com
