An amazing lesson from a really gifted teacher. Such a lovely way to learn music theory, and great inspiration to use scales so effectively. Thank you so much.

[@PianoteOfficial]

You're very welcome!

[@marsssvy3652]

It’s my first time in this channel and I thought I couldn’t finish that last pattern but it turns out I can! You are the teacher I’ve been looking for all these years🥺 Thank you!

[@PianoteOfficial]

so glad to have you here with us :)

[@sharonhanks3691]

I have been playing the piano for 47 years. I have always played by ear. Just in the last year have I started dabbing in reading music and trying to learn that way. I love the way you explain things and give examples. It has helped me so much in my playing. Thank you for sharing your gift with us! God bless you.

[@smasifurrahman9030]

Loved 6:30 to 7:15 the most, brought tears in joy. You are so perfect a teacher that I, being a poor guy, am now looking for another job to buy a piano! Your methods are contagious! God bless!

[@mohittulsyan3144]

You are really a blessing for all the beginners searching for a mentor ❤️

[@tonybevel5282]

Just bought my first piano at 69 years old after playing guitar all my life. These lessons are absolutely wonderful for a beginner and I have learned so much in less than a week. Slow, structured, perfectly paced with total enthusiasm. Thank you Lisa from the U.K. You are an absolute star.

[@feleps]

She plays, talks, teachs and smiles at same time

[@zantellevanniekerk633]

This is definitely one of my go to practices from tomorrow!! I absolutely love the way you teach Lisa. I've never found anyone that has intrigued me to play and learn piano like you. Love your passion and drive! It's awesome! I went from not knowing anything at all to now playing In church and challenging myself with exercises like this! Thank you so much for Pianote!

[@Khadeejahraja]

One of your best chord arpeggio videos! Thank you. Regards from Saudi Arabia.

[@PianoteOfficial]

Thanks for watching!

[@TheAMadMan]

As a drummer I found the fastest way to gain limb independence is to switch up the hands, arms, and legs for your everyday tasks. If you normally pick up you backpack with your right hand, start using your left. Do the switch for everything that will not cause a safety hazard - I almost poked my eye out too many times trying to get me left hand to brush my teeth. That and writing never made the switch, but everything else I can do ambidextrously. This only takes a couple of weeks to a few months depending on the strength amd dexterity required for the task. Learning music theory (I just banged on stuff in patterns on drums) this has been a huge boon starting out. Your videos rock!

[@Hundenminhelmer]

I'm just stunned and so thankful for your way of teaching. My father was a pro pianoplayer but I was far to young to take any interest in that "boring" instrument and the jazz and dance music he was playing. No sir, to me it was the guitar with heavy riffs.🙈😂 Well, my father plays with the angels nowadays and I kept on with the guitar - untill quite recent when I bought a 61 keys Casio CT-700 keyboard. I just wanted to see the tones in the chordshapes more clearly and hopefully I would manage to play just a little piece for myself or whatever. I'm only two weeks into this instrument and I have to say that because of your way of teaching I'm now more able to play with two hands. Not a tune or anything but the easiest arpeggioes like in this video are more obtainable. So, again thank you so much. I'll keep on practice because I AM determined to manage this beautiful instrument far better than today. I'll turn 64 in a couple of months so the learning process is somewhat slower when I was in my 20's.😅 I do not drink alcohol or smoke and I eat omega3 fishoil every day in addition to practicing a couple of hours a day so by the time I should manage. Again thank you from a cold Norway.🇳🇴

[@bakrisoliman6723]

You’re my number one priority in life. I put you above anything and everything else

[@jeffersonJekwu]

I just find the piano very easy after studying it for months, it's amazing how to generate musical formulas to get chords, sus chords, and so on. Can't wait to afford my own keyboard.. music is sweet

[@ashishthapa7276]

This is the best arpeggio lesson both online and offline available. Its magic. I was at lost but now m enjoying playing again. It's not always theories but the improvisation and music that's being created ❤️

[@billyfinley3282]

Lisa, I'm 68 and have always wanted to learn the piano. I found your KZbin site and started learning 3 months ago, you make practice SOOOO much fun I find myself practicing every day. Your bright attitude keeps me coming back. Thank you.

[@patrickluong1381]

Dear Lisa, Not only you push us forward on being creative but your outstanding skill to make us thinking out of the box is, for me, the most treasurable value you can really be proud of ! A big thank you to the best and inspiring teacher ever !

[@gauravmishra5998]

So much hate in the world and so much love on this channel, Lisa you are like home chord.... feels good to be here 😊.

[@czror]

I understand this

[@neilbriley4638]

Lisa, I just want to say THANK YOU! Your lessons has been a tremendous help. I'm self taut and your lessons has open me up to so many new avenues for me to explore. I've tried piano teachers in the past to no avail; however, you make it so easy to understand. I will never be a great player but with your lessons I will be a better player than I could ever be without your lessons. Once again, thank you.

[@muraalia]

I played piano in my teens, but have barely touched one in almost 20 years. I'm here trying to teach my fingers how to move again 😅 The last two bits in the video are too much for me atm, but the others I can do, slowly. :) It does help when the exercises sound this pretty ❤

[@murphy903]

Lisa, you are very inspirational. I've played guitar since I was in high school. I'm 62 now and am learning more about music from your videos than I ever knew before. And you are just slipping in a little music theory from time to time, but you keep it practical. I really appreciate that. I'm also learning piano (much easier than guitar). Thank you so much. God bless you and your family!!!

[@jeffh5388]

I normally provide comments for really good content, but "Ms. Pianote e.g. Lisa", you knocked it out of the park. A+++ in my book. That was brilliant and as a retired engineer, I seem to find the best tutor content available. A super thank you for the best ARP introduction/beginner lesson on ARPs in history. My only suggestion is at the midpoint when you use your right hand to play CDG both up and down on CGCDE, I wish you would have gone a little bit slower to demonstrate those keys. I rewound and even examined the video on my 27" iMac to watch your fingers - enough of the blah blah blah. Sincerely thank you and I will be spending a lot of time practicing what you taught. Cheers. You are really that good!!!!!

[@PianoteOfficial]

so so very glad to hear this!! thank you for taking the time

[@barron4755]

This Woman has a wonderful natural talent for Teaching !!

[@claudinejones7894]

This is a great exercise Lisa , it sounds so beautiful and it makes you feel that you are more advanced than beginner!! Thank you you are a great teacher !!

[@robertmary8750]

I have been on a journey to learn to play piano for 3 years. This is the best approach I have ever seen. I am going to start this training today. And I am not going to give up until I can do this challenge..... This is what I have been looking for! Thank you Lisa!!!

[@robertmary8750]

Lisa, I have taken several lessons from you but this is the BEST one by far. I am now practicing this almost every day. I am making progress and it sounds so beautiful. My wife is amazed and enjoys listening to me and I am improving my ability to “trust” my fingers..... ❤️😃🤜🏾

[@ajaydawar]

Love this video. So many “boring” concepts communicated in a fun way and blended together. Complex stuff is broken down into really easy atomic steps. Thanks @pianote and Lisa.

[@Dratsab69]

Coming from a self taught bedroom jammer guitarist with next to zero music theory knowledge, and now wanting to explore music production and therefore wanting to learn the basics of the keys, you are amazing! thank you so much for your videos!!

[@ashleyellis1729]

Love how technical you are in this tutorial. So helpful for us intermediate players.

[@kirrileepearson9981]

This was wonderful. I have tried to learn to sight read music for 35 years but always end up playing by ear instead so now I have resigned myself to focusing on learning arpeggios and other patterns so i can just play the chords and improv the melody. These patterns are great for practising coordination, thanks.

[@scottmccampbell72]

This was great! I have recently been using the basic 1-5-8-5 left hand pattern to practice right hand inversions that you mentioned were important in another video, so this is perfect timing! I was playing that left hand pattern over a 1-5-6-4 pattern in C, so four times on each chord, so I could then hit four inversions of each chord with the right hand. It sounds good ascending on C and G, and then descending on Am and F. Now I'm going to have to add this more complicated stuff to my practice list. Thanks again!!

[@virgiliotolentino5715]

You're The Prettiest Pianist I've Ever Seen In My Life, Babe.!!! Hehehe Thanks For Resurfacing During This Pandemic. Blessed🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@MattSaysSmile]

I’m slowly wrapping my head around this, I’ve been trying it for two days now with small improvements. It’s nice to be back in the inspired bubble again. Thank you 👍

[@colingray1972]

I am a guitarist but have always had an interest in playing piano, so, I bought a nice Kawai electric piano, a synthesiser etc. I feel guitar & piano come hand in hand. Lisa has been an amazing at assisting me with grasping the piano with such ease.

[@andrewmanzini9934]

This lady makes me feel like I can actually learn how to do this. Your energy is so positive Lisa. Love from South Africa 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

[@andrewmanzini9934]

@Soulful Notes please do😇

[@davesax11]

This is actually an introduction to improvization. A chord structure you can easily put in your head and a simple right hand pattern. Then you play, vary and extend. As Lisa said, it invites improv. Good one. Thanx!!

[@sail1884]

I don't know if you guys will ever see this, but thank you so much for this channel. Honestly. I used to play the piano as a kid, but I've been away from it for years. Your lessons are helping to fill some old gaps and heal some old wounds. I'm discovering my love of piano again.

[@oliv51terence35]

[@Mackinstyle]

Thank you for this video. It's amazing to me that when I watch videos like this, 90% of it I know, but that last 10% _really_ improves my playing, comfort, fluidity, and most of all: stops making my fingers all hurt.

Wonderful lesson and awesome Lisa! This is one of the best arpeggio lessons so far and i am using these techniques in my practice routine.Thank you Lisa.God bless.

Simply superb, superbly simple. Thanks, God bless. Love from 🇮🇳 India.

[@MrGman127]

This is my second time watching the tutorial. I love this Arpeggio practice drill because it fits perfectly with my level of development on the keyboard. Plus, it is the kind of practice routine I believe I could become oblivious to the time for hours. Doing this type of practice focuses on hand independence, and forces the brain to compartmentalize keyboard activity. Lisa, Thank for making this an enjoyable lesson... keep em coming...

[@Chris-wq3pe]

love the way you don't edit out the little mistakes cause that's how it goes! I'm new here and I'm so glad to have found this, i love arpeggios and this is indeed a beautiful practice lesson, thank you

[@sandhyaarora1666]

Thanku for wonderful lessons Lisa ..i started my arpigios journey before 1 year ago after watching this vedio today suddenly i got this lesson again on you tube and watching again at 5 am in India ❤

Keep going with your kind service❤👍🎶💜💜💜

[@dbreardon]

I'm 62 years old and I've been playing/learning the guitar for the last 10 months. Before that, I had never touched an instrument. But over the last several weeks I have been thinking about also learning piano.....and I bit the bullet and bought a digital keyboard/piano (88 key, hammer action and weighted). Going to be interesting keeping up with guitar and also learning the piano. But at 62 years old, it is all about the journey and not the destination for me. Having fun in retirement!

[@justA.]

Ahh dang, I love this ! And I can see myself improving since I started the piano and a lot of it is thanks to you. Last bit is super challenging but I'm getting there, and it's also super fun and rewarding to see yourself managing something you litteraly couldn't do 2minutes ago. Thanks !! Edit: to get the different rythm with my hands, I started to do the swing one with my left and a simple "c,d,e,f,g" with my right - and then i moved up and did it with the arpeggio

[@PianoteOfficial]

That is exactly why we are here! so good to hear :)
