[@vibratingairenjoyer9443]

this tip alone helped me so much, thanks!

[@vishwasbenson5420]

Just loved the ending!!!!!

[@taylor914ce]

As guitar player with some basic piano knowledge on chord inversions and stuff, I really like your videos, I have actually done this progression with my guitar in Cm, even with the F to E step in the A chord at the end (well Eb to D in my case over G). I actually got into learning basic things on piano because it helps me a lot to get some melodies and then I carry them over to guitar. But your videos have taken me out of the dark, i'm finally begining to understand some things that I just played on instinct or transfered from guitar knowledge. Maybe i will try learning piano for real in the near future.

[@trikortreat123]

Awesome tip video, and would love to see more in the future!

[@playpianobyear]

I have plenty more on the way! Thanks for the comment :)

[@SkyFoxTale]

Thank you! Please continue with these tips

[@1TreukFlyyy]

Great great tutorial ! Thanks a lot !

[@orlysuarez]

Awesome lesson

[@bongomon389]

Thank you for your great videos!!! You style is the direction I want to go in, I play percussion and guitar so rhythm really floats my boat. There is a pianist inside me trying to get out, I so wish I was given the opportunity when I was younger but I'm loving the whole learning journey now, slow as it is. It was so frustrating just playing triads all the time until I starting learning how to play the chord inversions, the sound and the fun is bliss. I will be adding you great resource to my learning programme. LoveJoyPeace

[@LuceroAlvarado]

Thank you so much for your videos!

[@Scarppegios]

Thanks a lot! This video is really useful! For someone who's transitioning from classical piano, I've been playing improvisations so bland and awfully boring until I saw this

[@Alfin_Firdaus_]

Nice Explain and Thanks for The Videos.

[@MrAlextheapple]

Great job !

[@oggysobe]

I like your A-E-G-C#-F resolving to d minor. I am gonna use it more often now.

[@jonathanharold3767]

You are so solid man.

[@Userjdanon]

Oh my gosh this is great :) I actually know the basics but I don't know how to improvise and so on. This video is great :) I enjoyed watching it

[@MrJaydiamond]

You are awesome. Thank you for sharing all of this! As an aside, your three chord example at :30 (ish), is in the intro to the Hill Street Blues theme. I think its also in michael jacksons Off The Wall. Soooooo cool. Im hearing it everywhere now! Please keep it up. I am better because of you. ✌🏼

[@Chriael]

This help me a lot thanks God bless you😇

[@BharatGosher]

nice way to begin. thanks

[@msj103105]

[@donmegatron79]

Sweet chords!

[@michaelvillena27]

great job, danke

[@fantasaicproductions7612]

Simple but interesting and powerful.

[@phoenixze]

Thank you! Could you also show us how do we play wild-card chords which you mentioned in one of your videos? Thank you!

[@iblackz5416]

thanks for the tipps

[@alexandreasselin9052]

This is impressive!

[@IsraelWokoh]

That last minute and a half was an eargasm

[@asijuli]

amazing

[@alphasxsignal]

More improv stuff like this would be great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kevinknights8703]

ImprovPianoTips, this is hands down the most enjoyable and inspiring piano lesson I've seen. I'm a drum set player and I've recently taken up keyboards. How long have you been playing? I hope to be able to improvise on the keyboard like this in the near future. What keyboard are you using in the video? I need to get one with all 88 keys.

[@littleone795]

You are a great pianist man i like your style when's tip #2 coming up?

[@Lolomikagi]

oh my gosh! the ending was so beautiful! it remind me of some anime

[@pyrite2122]

as a beginner i found it very hard to play such a wide range of octaves because your eyes can not see of your fingers anymore, but then i found out a trick a helped me .. just try to keep your eyes on the keys where the right hand has to go (way before you move them there) .. in that way i made less mistakes with ma left hand .. before that my eyes where just moving around everywhere and tried to cover everything but i always missed the right keys

[@ChrisLee-ds3xu]

1. Are there any exercise that would you recommend for me to memorize those inversions? 2. How would you define jazz? does it merely mean non-perfect or union chords, e.g. 7th, 9th, 11th and 13th?

[@ckimsey77]

Quick add to other comment...for an idea of skill level, I'm hoping you are familiar with the song "The Breeze" by Skynyrd...I can shread the big piano solo in that song, used to play keys in a local band. We did a lot of Skynyrd bc I liked their piano player hes good and some songs are quite technical on his solo's. One thing I'm looking for is correct angering for fast arpeggios or runs in general up and down the keyboard/piano. I've got the speed to pull it off, but dont really know what to hit as far as specific notes and how to tie the scales together through multiple octaves when trying to improv big leads. I can do everything but those long fast runs and its KILLING me because I know it's something simple that just hasnt clicked in my head yet. I'm no Jordan Rudess (plays keys for Dream Theater, hes AWESOME at this, along w everything else. Surely you've heard of him being a pianist but if not check him out, he'll make u feel like a beginner lol) but his runs and arpeggios is what I'm wanting to learn, or at least something similar. Please if u get time look him up on KZbin playing, ull see what I'm talking about...if you have any content teaching that level of technique and could help I'd greatly appreciate you pointing me to the correct videos or paid lessons on this subject. Thanks for your time.

[@ManxKeys]

It is chords from Careless Whisper ^_^

[@peprykdrewdak2744]

I really love it

[@jane100jesusjesus2]

Sou brasileiro cara n entendo muito e tal o que vc fala mas to curtindo muito o canal.. vc toca bem pra cara...

[@dbg115]

Can you please do a tutorial on that classical chord progression you just played ?

[@sprenzy9880]

I'm completely classical trained and I rely absolutely on sheet music so this whole improv thing is completely foreign to me I what I see in your lessons is (one example) play an add 2 chord and transform and then you can just noodle around and keep the rhythm going. It's completely mindless. My dream is to be able create music freely without the limit of pattern and mindless playing Do you think you can help me?

[@sam200059]

Same. Being classically trained, it's difficult to switch to noodling and new chord progressions. I do a little bit but this next level stuff is pretty insane.

[@sprenzy9880]

ill try that

[@seankhalif850]

how do you create better melodies from scratch?

[@ckimsey77]

The Bb w G bass is Gm7, but couldnt it also be looked at as just the Bb chord add6 but ur adding the 6th as a base note changing the tone feeling?? I ask bc it appears u are playing in Fmaj but using the relative minor as your "home" key Dm. Same way Am and Cmaj are the same chords bc Am is the relative minor, or minor 6th of Cmaj (I think it's called "relative" minor...the minor 6th...) So is this correct, were u playing in Fmaj scale? Would make sense as u use Dm (minor 6), Bb which was major 4th, and use the Bb w bass G then to Bb7maj add2, but the resolve is throwing me a bit...at first look it appears ure playing an A chord, but the 3rd of F would be a minor Am, but ure playing it major. Then looking more, are you just playing the F7maj with different voicing, having the 3rd and 7h in base hand, and right hand is add2 w the G note but ur playing it diminished ( cant remember if its diminished or augmented...) the variation of raising the perfect 5th a half step to C# for that "clash" before resolving back to Dm. Am I way off or is that right?? Difficult to tell sometimes bc chords with notes left out can be several different ones, u have to look at what others are used to correctly identify what it was. It's been a long while since I've been deep into music theory as I play mainly by ear and improv everything...I'm watching though bc u are a great teacher and I'm hoping to pick up some pointers. Do you do any more advanced videos for people who have played many years? (I'm 39, been playing keys since 12...took up guitar and drums etc around my mid 20s).

[@hinmaratinajanvier458]

sil vous plait bonsoir.Je suis cretien et je suis au cameroun je joue un peu au piano et je souhaite jouer un jour comme vous. s'il vous plait pouviez vous me montrer les accords de passage gospel? par exemple pour quiter de 1à4, 1à5,4à5, 5à6,....Je joue plus en Fa

[@rollingstone3017]

Nik (I think that's you name?), you are an excellent player. You seem to be able to make stuff up (improvise) on the fly. Is that the case, or is everything you are demonstrating memorized/well practiced? What I'm getting from your instruction is that memorizing chords to the point they are second nature is how you get to the level you seem to be playing.

[@chubbyBunny94]

you don't post on your instagram?

[@WhitMan739]

Cool video. Learned a little bit that I didn't use before when I improvised. But are we all going to just ignore that you used the same chord structure as Careless Whisper by George Michael, haha.

[@kalM856]

o ritmo é importante fazer mais devagar. a jogadinha das duas mãos

[@xinhaochen1298]

It’s actually a d harmonic minor, could u tell us the key next time so that we don’t have to figure it out. The video is super helpful for real

[@prutsbeer7552]

Bflat with a G in the bass is just a Gm7 though?

[@playpianobyear]

+Jan Dries You got it! Now you know that a great substitute for a Bb chord is a Gm7 chord. Try it in a song. It changes the harmony slightly but powerfully. These are tricks that I use to write music professionally.

[@batner]

Jan Dries I remember learning about opposite minor/major chords in the past. They also have all the same notes in their scales. Take it a full tone up and you get a popular and my personal favorite, relationship, C and Am. So as far as I recall it, due to the circular nature of scales, every major chord would have opposite minor and contain the same notes in its scale. Introducing a minor chord where a major one was before must have some impact on the listener. It will change the song, the mood or some other abstract thing i cant seem to get.

I love you

[@epiccutie7119]

0:26 I'm assuming that's a Gm9.

Can you aplode Spiderman far from home theme

[@jasneskis]

Video moves too fast . I can't catch the notes you play in right hand. Especially when you start playing offices, I really want to play octives, I don't know which.ones to play. Don't know what single notes to play. I get the cord.

[@epiccutie7119]

F6 over B-flat! That's what I'm talking about!

[@redknight4367]

Why do u see people without music notes in front of them playing well? are they remembering songs or what I don't get it... dont understand how you can play notes at random and make them flow. All notes are different !

[@h2fx574]

Garas Lewis They either have it memorized or they’re just making music on the spot

[@johncassidy6961]

I enjoy the lessons. They are very insightful. I would like to ask to please slow down when playing a session. Remember, we are apprentices, not experts and your hands move very fast, I can not grasp close up and appreciate with more detail. By going at a fast pace, you will loose people. Thank you.

[@babismousikos]

way too fast in some intervals ,,,none can see what u do :(

[@alexlzx]

Too much unnecessary details and advertisement to website. If just focus more on teaching, it will be perfect

[@robertmoody9343]

Talks too much and teaches nothing, also races through the keyboard strokes.....SLOW DOWN!!!
