Jon Batiste Teaches The Blues

[@Rachel-sv9pq]

Saying someone is a national treasure is casually thrown around a lot but Jon Batiste is legit a national treasure

[@charlesramos9563]

He doesn’t only teach us the blues, he also wants us to feel the blues

[@lienkeijl2787]

only when you feel it you can play it...yesss

[@lisyau-hunzeker9860]

Amen! 🎉

[@gilrogel6488]

Man, he is the blues

[@clivecolledge4191]

Great teaching and great feeling.

[@aberlardomoscoso4419]

Tu pentagrama parece la vía por donde circula el tren de tu musica y tú eres un maquinista feliz que nos llevas con todo el corazón a un viaje inesperado !! Sentí eso cuando te escuché !! Magistral lo que haces y tienen un don trasmitirlo 👏❤👃

[@denaro572]

I've never seen a person having more fun then him while making music. He is such a gem!

[@jimbeen6796]

The only person that looked to be having as much fun IMO was Eddie Van Halen.

[@MichaelHughes124]

He and Jacob Collier are so fun to watch create and educate live.

[@hirgons]

Keith Jarrett ?!

[@johngleeson7919]

His passion for music is infectious

[@robsonclark9678]

Lisa has that too, but ya Jon is a spiecal person :).

[@johngleeson7919]

@robsonclark9678 💯

[@elim481]

Everyone would be good at music if Jon Batiste was their teacher

[@josephbrian455]

Hopefully a "Jon Batiste Teaches Gospel" video to follow.

[@TKay-q1u]

Gospel usually is blues based, right?

[@c.3263]

This!!! Jon Batiste x Corey Henry collab?

[@emmanueltemilade2547]

@@c.3263that would EPIC 😵

[@mattykeys]

agreed

[@MarcTelesha]

@@TKay-q1u No blues and Gospel are cousins but Gospel is its own special thing.

[@ElBeeEss]

Good God, if only every child's piano teacher was like Jon Batiste. I want a rewind on my life!

[@drpacman9996]

He had me at heyyyyy yeahhhhh. When I saw he’s got an album called Beethoven blues at the end…… I’m all in!

[@zizwemusic7688]

“Blues is the manifestation of the human condition in sound.” I love that.

[@angiemalone8262]

Please please let this man teach a Masterclass! He is fascinating!

[@gszuhai]

One of the most talented, but definitely the most laid back guy in music industry! Very entertaining, always!

[@EliasGitterman]

MORE JON BATISTE PLEASE!!!

[@mattosso7676]

I second this! I'm an atheist, but hearing Jon Batiste play piano makes me want to shout AMEN!

[@PianoteOfficial]

Coming!

[@EliasGitterman]

@@PianoteOfficial Yay!!

[@ItsMe-fs4df]

That train thing? 🤯 So clever, and such a great explanation. I get the feeling he speaks fluent music and is trying to translate it into English 😁😁

[@benc4968]

It’s exactly how i think about it. When Hendrix plays blues it always reminds me of train chugging. Particularly with his approach to rhythm.

[@karlzysk9564]

"It's singing already; dontcha feel it?"...yea, man, I definitely feel it. Unbelievable talent.

[@nerds4knowledge]

His joy makes this lesson so engaging!

[@ParadNorthProd]

This guy IS music.

[@Alice-fr1ef]

Thank you so very much Jon Batiste. It's a blessing to have you share your knowledge of the Blues with us. We are so very thankful to have this chance with you teaching us.

[@ultramet]

NOLA in the house !!! #1 music city in the USA! ❤

[@janemarbach2549]

I saw him at the Paramount Theatre in Denver as he walked down the aisle I actually got to touch his pink silk suit....still havent washed my hand! Touching greatness!!!!

[@EliasGitterman]

His energy is contagious!

[@jamminb8589]

Your energy is inspirational, your understanding is almost unfathomable, thank you for taking the time to translate this for us mere mortals.

[@SoleTownDuo]

Give me Jon Batiste on repeat saying whatever... it just doesn't matter what he says, I love it anyway.

[@Bob-sl2ed]

The lesson is as good as it gets. He feels it, he loves it, he lives it, he knows it inside out and boy can he teach! There are so many bland explanations that I totally did not expect this one to be this good.

[@suomi35]

Jon calms my soul.

[@sophieoshaughnessy9469]

What a great way to plug a new album and teach the blues at the same time! O Jon Batiste how great you are!

[@jtaustinmusic]

My life in enriched watching this guy. Hes just phenomenal.

[@BallersCove]

Jon Batiste is so talented, and he's also a great teacher. What a fantastic combination.

[@adriana7633]

I am so astonished..! I wish I had just 1% of his talent

[@skane3109]

Listening to your singsongy rap and pithy metaphors brings a smile to my face. Listening to you connect the real life sounds of trains, the Industrial Revolution and the digital revolution and how they found their way into the music of each era is a wonderfully fresh and apt observation.

[@lienkeijl2787]

i think this kind of young people like Jon Batiste come from heaven to teach us how to really be alive her on planet earth!!!

[@AngelaSealana]

I agree.

[@concernedcitizen4181]

I'm a guitar player and I found that video fantastic

[@1strule00]

[@TommyLikeTom]

My love for this man is unbounded. I've been taught these lessons a thousand times and I will learn them a thousand times more

[@MrGraphite]

Imagine your music teacher being able to teach you just like John did here. Clear, quick, and sucks you in with his passion and insight. Love this a lot.

[@mixedbydllc.7267]

I love how he teaches

[@JaysonSantos]

I thought I sucked at the piano. Now I'm sure.

[@ДмитрийКотов-п8к]

[@DJ_Dutchess]

😂🤣😂

[@broncheemims8493]

Well done brother Jon. Now I'm practicing the Baptise scale😊

[@fightingstudent2363]

Amen Brother teach us the Gospel of the Blues Amen!

[@mathieulefo6658]

That last part was what got my blues to another level. Paraphrasing my teacher, but blues was an old peoples sound and old people like retelling the same stories over and over. So the blues sound retells those same notes over and over, just with a little twist every time.

[@Raabster]

Saw this on TikTok and had to come here to share with some people who don't have TikTok. LOVE this so much! As stated by many people here, his is amazing, and we would LOVE more of Jon Batiste!

[@Tuer216]

Never knew this guy before. I love this guy! Knowledgable, good-teacher, and just authentic person.

[@antonioogando4705]

A monster this guy !!! Spetacular!!! Simple, friendly, it shows the art of the piano in an easy and enjoyable way to see!

[@RonCarterBassist]

Mr. Batiste is a great young talent.

[@aberlardomoscoso4419]

Valioso!! Gracias

[@sbulelontokozomathobela7284]

Hi and how are you ? Please have this man back with a longer version because damn he is teaching somethings else. 😫🔥❤️

[@PeterKeyJeffery]

He plays blues and classical but his heart is rooted in the blues…what an inspirational teacher! Peter

[@maryseguevara8131]

Yikes! I asked my college piano teacher for this almost 40 years ago. He said he could not, and that was that. He was great at what he was great at (dead guy music). Today, I got it in 8 minutes!!!! Singing gumbo! I'm a teacher, and I've always said only a true master of the content can teach at high levels! This made my day, thank you!

[@peacefulisland67]

You are music in motion and respiration. Mountainous love to you.

[@charlesamusic]

JB has such an amazing spirit, energy, soul and his interview on NPR is a true joy to listen to!

[@ericbrandes7406]

Simply incredible

[@MatthewChambersMusic]

I love you Jon Batiste! Thank you for this lesson. I am a guitar player primarily, little keys. This lesson affirmed a lot of what I have been exploring for many years. I find myself playing along as you play your piano. I was home!

[@suefauziyah]

I liked his explanation about the blues and trains. Never heard that before but it makes sense! I’ll remember that.😀 (Still waiting for this lesson to show up on the Pianote site…)

[@kmacdiddy1]

I hope one day he does a turn as a public school music teacher for a few years. He might inspire the next musician. He's just so, so good. A musician's musician. He just makes music so darn fun.
