How To Play Lofi Piano(+sample)

[@RandomAwesomeism]

Patterns I got: - time signature 4/4 - chord progression 2-5-1(-6+) - jazz extensions up to 13 - modulations - gliss and slow scale runs

[@jakeoflinespiano9936]

RandomAwesomeism Also, when playing chords it’s a very neat trick to add a grace note a whole tone below the top voice. See 1:15 for reference.

[@theulysses7236]

Also, regarding the rhythm, make sure your quarter note pulse falls a bit behind the beat coming from the drum loop (microseconds).

Basically play whatever you want. As long as there’s enough compression on the snare you’re good to go

[@blxme1927]

Well actually... Yea you right

[@Kaos__]

What’s a snare l💀

[@LuckyLootCrate]

the thing that goes BMSSHH

[@johasai8804]

Yea the living proof of that is brett's lofi

[@nawwar1]

Um no no lol it’s the second sound in ba dum tss. If u know what I mean

[@hulloclayton6685]

your diversity is unbelievable

[@mmthll]

It is still jazz. You mean still a very good pianist

[@hulloclayton6685]

Le Mentholé Yeah but not all jazz sounds like lofi. You can’t play ragtime over a drum beat and vinyl crackle and expect it to sound idiomatic. That’s why I’m so shocked to hear such a tasteful rendition.

[@studentsteph]

hulloclayton I'm skeptical of that proposition. With the right arrangement, yes actually.

[@Elemy69]

@@hulloclayton6685 90% of Lofi music is samples from jazz classics.

[@yagottapaythetrolltoll3127]

This type of stuff makes me want to genuinely learn theory instead of just cram studying the bare minimum required for branch honors on my theory test every year. I don’t wanna work as a musician, but in some point in my life, I’d like to be good enough to just be able to experiment on the piano and know what I’m doing. Update: I'm skipping Level 9 this year because corona will make the tests easier, so I'm now on Level 10. The last level in my state. After March, I won't have to worry about these stupid tests, and I can actually enjoy piano. Hopefully then I'll have time to experiment with this instrument I've devoted more than half my life to. But for now, I'll wait for February to cram theory again for the last time Edit because I'm back here again: Finally done with those stupid piano tests! Time to actually have fun playing piano 11/10/21 Edit because I'm back yet again: Nowadays I'm extremely busy, but I always love being able to sit down and play piano at the end of the day. When I have time again (maybe senior year), I'm gonna get into composing

[@esthershih5575]

i know EXACTLY how you feel. Growing up I had to do those stupid piano exams and I hated doing those theory books soooo much. I would legit be on the verge of tears from anger whenever my mom forced me to them. I got through all the levels and I told myself I was done with theory. Then now I'm watching people like Jacob Collier and Charles Cornell, and they make stuff sound so fascinating! And it's like, I recognize the terms and the basic stuff but I wish I had grown an appreciation from a young age instead of cramming the info inside me.

[@mirziyob]

@@esthershih5575 ooooh it's so weird to hear the other side of the history, in my case my parents never forced any instrument on me, even though they played a few, and now im 27 and trying to learn the piano from scratch is soooo hard hahaha, like i wish i took theory and piano lessons when i was younger! but then maybe if i did i would have hated it like you guys hahah, oh life

[@esthershih5575]

MirzaEster oh haha that is pretty weird to hear. My Asian mom was a piano teacher so she was really insistent on me going through all 11 levels. I also had to do ABRSM testing for cello too!! But I only did like 3 levels. I think I finished the testing (I think it’s called CM/California merit) by the time I was in 8th grade and I took a year long break where I didn’t even touch the piano, because I was so burnt out. But then after the break my interest sparked again so now I’m playing whatever I want.

[@mirziyob]

esther shih well, you're lucky that you get to play the piano really good now, it's never a bad thing to know an instrument :)

[@esthershih5575]

MirzaEster yeah looking back at it I get where my mother was coming from and I really do appreciate how she pushed piano on me even though I wanted to quit. I’m a person who doesn’t like being forced to do things so back then I grew a hatred for piano. I think I just needed some time and space to explore the instrument.

[@pieceofmilk3512]

This is the equivalent of an artist coming in and saying this is how you paint a duck and then proceeds to paint a duck with no explanations

[@djangomochi]

Learn music theory and you'll understand why there's no explanation

[@traviscrawford6516]

you want her to what? walk through each chord and voicing? you must not be a musician

[@treyvonsmith2349]

There’s literal sheet music there lol

[@freshappleseed6966]

If u understand the basic patterns like 2-5-1, 2-5-1 turn arounds, relative minors, minor modulation etc. It makes it a lot easier to learn more theory by example. If u already know that a duck is painted with yellow, it makes it easier to understand what other shades of yellow u can use to give it more detail. I understand ur confusion tho lol, I personally get pretty confused myself

[@dan-lx3sy]

[@mcmire]

I just found you (thank you KZbin algorithm) and I have to say that you are soooo talented. Your voicings are out of this world. I've been trying to learn jazz. All of the basic stuff makes sense to me and I was looking for something more advanced, and I have to say I've learned way more just watching your videos than anything I've seen so far. There's a lot of really good stuff here to chew on and think about. I really like that you have the notes up on the screen because sometimes you just need that extra bit of help to make sense of what you're hearing. Keep it up!
