[@TRUETOILETTENPAPIER]

there is nothing in the world that inspires me more to make music or pick up new instruments than the members of vulfpeck. i literally started playing guitar and bass because of this band and now i h a v e to start playing the piano, fucg

[@unclepodger]

I relate so much to this comment. Vulfpeck literally revived my taste for playing funky stuff, and also thanks to them I'm killing myself for not playing keys. (I play guitar and bass BTW)

[@TRUETOILETTENPAPIER]

Uncle Podger yes! they were the band that introduced me to all the good funk/jazz classics, forever changing and refining my musical taste, and getting me interested in actually playing music instead of just listening to it. honestly i don’t know where i’d be musically if i hadn’t discovered them and that thought makes me shudder. i’m so grateful for vulfpeck.

[@adroit57]

maybe take it a bit slower dude. You want to be good at them

Make sure you get a piano with real mechanical action.

I thought Tee Time had a delay effect on the piano. Turns out it was all groof.

[@JoeyWillenbucher]

It does have delay. Still groof tho

[@aakkoin]

my pepa said it's just a goof and a spoof

[@StninkyBoi]

It has a ping pong delay between the right and left speakers but it's also mightily groofy

[@votumstellarum]

That strategic blur made my wife and I burst out into laughter. Amazing tutorial!

[@drbassface]

That was cool! I got to play with Richard Tee with Etta James at Montreux in 1977. Sat right next to him At the grand piano. So unique. Cool and friendly guy. He put his arm over my shoulder at our bows! Gone too soon.

[@김태헌-y2f]

nice

[@Shteeeeeeeve]

Just came back from classes and this is the most important thing I've learned today

[@Wayne_Robinson]

I liked that muted sound so much that I hacked up a mediocre imitation with my VSTi upright piano by using its filter function with a steep cutoff (24db/octave) at 1kHz and a fast envelope attack. It doesn't sound as nice but my jacket won't fit into my laptop. edit: layering in a bit of harp gets it closer by giving it more pluck.

[@TobyJBall]

Wayne Robinson you may have found it by now, but spitfire labs soft piano is a purpose made muted piano vst. And it’s free!

[@Wayne_Robinson]

@@TobyJBall Good pointer; yes I've grabbed all the LABS instruments and have nice things to say about nearly all of them. Woody's mute setup is a very different and unique sound compared to any of the felt or soft pianos I've heard. It's more like an auto-wah clav sound with an initial bite that transitions quickly into the heavily muted tone. That makes it more percussive and suited to rhythm figures like this.

[@Gazzerazz]

Don't often comment. This is EXACTLY what I want in my life. Can't play keys for shit, but these top downs let me pretend that I can. Praise be the MVP

[@akowalz]

Thank you woody! As a piano player heavily inspired by you and Vulf this kinda stuff is pure gold. I’d be grateful for anything else!

[@adamdesanti6713]

5:25 - I always get a little emotional during the climax of the Tee piece. Where he's slowly walking his way back to the tonic with ascending/descending bass-line. It's has almost classical sensibilities, like something Beethoven would do. Bass instruments with the left hand, tenors with the right.

[@mwkdavidson]

gets better wiith re-watching ... thanks so much Prof Goss, the groof is undeniable

[@MongerOfStrings8222]

Honestly the way you play piano makes more sense to me as a drummer than some drummers ive seen. I genuinely think youd be great at drums

[@maxspencerkarinen6463]

I've been trying to learn Tee Time for a while from a transcription, but this video has really helped - especially the bit about playing with the whole body! Please do more of these kind of videos!

I've been looping that piano breakdown from Stuff at Montreaux for years trying to figure out how to replicate it. I can't tell you how happy I am that you made this! Thx Woody

[@jamesthenabignumber]

Hey Woody! Thanks for this. I've been a big fan of Keith Jarrett's gospel solo playing and this had added a lot to my own playing. It really informs on what you're doing on Tee Time too - I wasn't getting the bass until this video. Thanks again!

[@ethan-loves]

wow. I have no idea how to play the piano and yet I find this fascinating. thank you for it, professor Goss

[@CGOlde]

As one of the most notable contemporary musicians still playing a Rhodes piano I wonder if you would do a professorly breakdown of the instrument. Yours in particular: what model is it, what sort of hammer tips, how you like to voice it, how you like to amplify, etc. Inquiring minds want to know!

[@aakkoin]

It's a piano with a jacket or something similar on the strings

[@mootbooxle]

Your interpretation and your execution is exactly what I do...That was really fun to watch! You’re excellent at explaining these things with no bs. Totally down for more! Thanks Woody!

[@studiomonster2012]

So amazing. Simple in its core but complex when you put all the moving parts together. Very well explained. Thank you.

[@NickJacobsMusic]

Regardless of the fact, that im not a piano player and will not (in the near future) learn this song, I love watching this video! It's super groovy and it's impressive to finally see more of Woody!! 😍

great to hear some thoughts from the mind of Woody. so low key and humble. keep teaching us!

[@landochicago]

Hey Doc, thanks for this. Thrilling to hear about Richard again. When albums came out with him on them in the 80s (Tom Scott, Stephane Grappelli, Grover Washington, then Strokin') I snatched them up immediately. He was a great pianist, and I just discovered Vulfpeck and I heard the Richard Tee in what's the name of that song--hey, no wonder you call it that! Anyway, great to see an accomplished pianist like you with an appreciation for the stylings of Richard Tee."Tee Time" reminded me of that gospel section he does in the middle of "You're Gonna Need Me" from Tom Scott's New York Connection. I ruined my roommate's copy of that album in college by playing it over and over and over and I still feel terrible about it. That was 1977.
