Cheers bro it’s a fun progression to jam overn

[@MisterAytch]

I’ve been waiting FOREVER for this tutorial. This song is very special to me, thank you for helping me play it homie. You’re blessing all of us Mac fans fr 🙏

[@Unlockthekeyboard]

Stoked! More Mac coming. Breaking down these kind of jazzy neo-soul keyboard/piano hip hop beats will become a staple on this channel!

[@drtoothpickman]

You’re the goat Josh

[@xCJEx360x]

dude thank you so much. for not only covering Mac Miller, but some of the best piano music of all time. And also doing so well with your quality and teaching. you are the best!

[@Unlockthekeyboard]

Thanks man that's a really nice comment, I appreciate it. Piano is for everybody! I want to get more people into music through the keys.

[@mateo-oh2vm]

Jesus bro not even 12h after I request it😅 thanks youre the man!

[@Unlockthekeyboard]

Haha bro I needed to be first on the job with this one , because Mac fans who play piano will resonate with my way of teaching I’m positive so I wanted to get this up right quick.

[@mateo-oh2vm]

@@Unlockthekeyboard for sure!!

[@mr.shadowofdeath9113]

Awesome Solo Bro!!!

It's a fun progression to solo over

[@mr.shadowofdeath9113]

@ I can see you absolutely killed it when’s the tour 😂

[@Unlockthekeyboard]

@ Working on it. My band is getting some good success now, we are opening for our country's biggest band next month (they are called 660, quite successful in New Zealand). We're moving to Aus next year to keep expanding. There will be a tour eventually 🤣

[@Ty-oe4dr]

this deserves thousands of views, just tons of good stuff here

[@Unlockthekeyboard]

Thanks, glad you think so. I’m sure it will get there in time

Mac Miller the legend, a favorite off the newly released album. Would love to see you do Congratulations - Mac Miller

[@Unlockthekeyboard]

Too easy bro I’ll hit that in the coming week

[@Jack-mv3sx]

so many good songs on this album

[@erikag3599]

Thank you for this! ❤

[@Squeaakz]

awesome tutorial bro! thanks, its always nice seeing mac piano tutorials being uploaded, i'd love a tutorial of ricks piano by mac and would also love a tutorial of mystline by nujabes, i've scoured the internet for one of those and can't find it anywhere!

[@Unlockthekeyboard]

Oh my good lord, brother, you are a genius! Nujabes is a ridiculously good shout. SHEEEESH!

[@Squeaakz]

Are you a nujabes fan or have I just put you onto him?

[@Unlockthekeyboard]

@@Squeaakz Nujabes is surely one of my biggest influence as a producer bro. Just the sound and feel is something else.

[@Squeaakz]

@@Unlockthekeyboard he was something special, it's a shame the greats get taken at such a young age

[@Unlockthekeyboard]

@@Squeaakz Way too real bro

[@pyraz1973]

Great lesson! Would love to see a tutorial for "Woods" by Mac Miller if you ever get a chance!

[@Unlockthekeyboard]

I love Woods, one of my favourites. I'll definitely make a tutorial for it, I already covered it a couple of years ago kzbin.info/www/bejne/innLn2yGgbtoaKs

[@pyraz1973]

@Unlockthekeyboard Sweet man, thanks! I didn't realize that was your cover, but that's actually the one that really made me want to learn the song on piano! I haven't played piano in a few years, but I have been feeling super inspired to start again, so I bought a keyboard last weekend.

[@Unlockthekeyboard]

Aye that's wild! I'm stoked to hear you're inspired again, have you checked out the community? I made a free course to help people unlock the keyboard. You obvs don't have to do the whole course but there are some good creative modules in there, an inspiring module to start and module 7 is great if you want to compose and produce music.

[@pyraz1973]

@Unlockthekeyboard Thanks! I'll definitely check it out when I get a chance!

[@kylea9266]

great song. Thank u!

[@Mengel22]

Great video! Could you possibly make a tutorial on how to play Rick’s Piano off the album? I would love to learn how to play that song.

[@Unlockthekeyboard]

On it!

[@julivega9717]

ily king

[@benjaminliu6440]

Could you do Julia (Gatwick Airport) by Fred again next? Amazing video by the way, I’m loving the song choices!

[@Unlockthekeyboard]

100% ! My requests list is getting pretty stacked but I always prioritise Fred again so , a week or so.

[@benjaminliu6440]

Thank you so much 🙏🏼

[@eternalboomer1990]

This is really awesome and you have my gratitude for introducing me to this, but unfortunately, I don’t think I’m at a level where I can follow it in this style of learning. I get really lost when trying to add in the chords. Is there a version of this somewhere on sheet music?

[@Unlockthekeyboard]

I’m sorry unfortunately not, I don’t think I’m the channel for you then. When my business grows I will hire somebody who can transcribe all my tutorials because my skill there isn’t sufficient and it would take way too much time. I’d say I can get to that point in about 3-4 months, just need to grow the business. I appreciate your support though, I really do want to help you learn this tune!

[@eternalboomer1990]

@@Unlockthekeyboard No worries! I appreciate being exposed to this wonderful piece all the same.

[@lytce]

Can u do a tutorial playing champagne by epik high? I think it's very easy but I'm Beginner 😅 Thanks for the tutorial I've had this piece in my head all day hahahaha

[@Unlockthekeyboard]

Sure I’ll take a look! I’m always looking for more ‘level one’ tutorials for beginners, cheers!

[@lytce]

Thank you soooo much ❤

[@mitchmccarthy9]

This is beautiful. I'm not looking to learn piano, but I would love to hear a full cover of this song along with your jamming without the tutorial, just to listen to. Is that possible?

[@Unlockthekeyboard]

Might be possible 😅 In the meantime I have a cover of Good news ( and Woods ) if you want to see those kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHuyk4mZep2bd9U

This is amazing… do you make sheet music??

[@Unlockthekeyboard]

No sorry

[@tinc2233]

Can you do a tutorial on see you again by wiz khalifa please

[@Unlockthekeyboard]

I can take a look

[@andyyzhouu]

Could you do sigil and the maze from 1999 write the future!! No one has done a tutorial on it :(

[@Unlockthekeyboard]

I can take a look

[@AllieGailey]

What do I have to do to get this as sheet music😆

[@Unlockthekeyboard]

Ahaha you might have to hit Fiver aye, I can't make sheets to save my life 🤣

[@marcellestial]

could you make sheet music of this?

[@Unlockthekeyboard]

Sorry I am totally inept at making sheet music… sheet music update is being developed 🤣

[@chrisgou123]

Can someone please explain what differentiate the first chord and 2nd chord being a Major7sus2 and a Major9, aren't they the same chord? like the first chord can be a Major9 too but omit3?

[@chrisgou123]

also wonder why the melody using C minor pantatonic scale works on all these chords

[@Unlockthekeyboard]

Sometimes the chord voicings reader can be a bit confusing because it might be carrying a sustained note and adding that to the next chord. The 2nd chord is a straight Eb major chord with no extensions, and the 1st chord is best thought of a slash chord: a Bb triad (in 2nd inversion) over an Eb root. Technically a Maj7sus2, with the 3rd omitted. With the 3rd is would be a Ebmaj7/9.

[@Unlockthekeyboard]

C is the relative minor of Eb major, which is the key centre, so it's essentially the same as Eb major pentatonic.

[@chrisgou123]

@ ohhh, thats right, thank you very much for explaining. Great video btw!!🔥
