[@Kingnel_sa]

One of the best teacher on KZbin 🔥

[@fitwithandy]

Slow Blues on the piano is the best... so emotional 😮😊

[@binglim1]

This is a fantastic lesson. 👍👍👍 Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@richard135b7]

This is one awesome Blues course all wrapped into one video! It sounds so amazingly cool and pro-level. Everyone else I've seen on KZbin teaches 12-bar blues with an amateurish hard-beat left-hand groove, something we might learn in 10th grade of high school. I will be practicing this until I get it right.Thank you so much!

[@PianoGroove]

Thanks Richard, glad you enjoyed the lesson! We are working on a full course on this style which will soon be added to our blues piano lesson archives - www.pianogroove.com/blues-piano-lessons/

[@uexner]

Wonderful piano lesson! ❤

[@markhayden6062]

You're a great teacher! Thank you!

[@jhn1987]

Excellent slow blues piano master class! Very detailed and well paced. Thank you for doing this in a key other than C. Please do more blues, especially minor blues and Chicago blues in other keys such as E, A, G.

[@gurtbadger]

I'm so stuck in C

[@PianoGroove]

Noted!

Hayden, you the man! Thank you

[@louisf4073]

Such an outstanding tutorial about the Blues. Congratulations ! It would greatly help to have the score sheet rather than guessing from your right hand fingers.

[@gurtbadger]

This was just what I was looking for. Thank you.

[@afihaileywibowo1095]

Thank you so much for your tutorials. They are tremendously helpful for beginners/intermediate jazz learners

[@PianoGroove]

You're very welcome!

[@mrdjangofreeman5560]

19:30 i noticed an interesting RH fingering for rookies like me for the swap from the inverted suspended triad chord CFA (fingering 135) to the triad CEG (124)😊

[@spotwms8768]

Sounds lovely and relaxing🎉

[@glennmichaell2482]

This is my favorite lesson Hayden, although I don't know where it is on the site. 🙂

[@PianoGroove]

Hey Glenn 👋- yes this was created after your request in the seminar section. Great idea to create a course on this style! The course is here on the website - www.pianogroove.com/blues-piano-lessons/slow-blues-piano-for-beginners/ - and more lessons will be added to the course shortly.

[@davidhernandez-uw1gj]

Great piano lesson. Thank you.

Thank you, that was great, i wish you all the best, thank you!

[@flipsterjoe162]

great stuff many thanks!!

[@ootb314]

Love it. Are you using any sustain pedal here?

[@yerryperdana9533]

Thanx bro...

[@albertogonzalez7473]

GREAT! ! ❤

[@davidhernandez-uw1gj]

Great piano Jazz lesson😂❤

[@simonburch8762]

Is this the sort of stuff you get if you subscribe to your course? I stopped playing a year or two ago as I just wasn’t enjoying learning or playing. This is the sort of stuff I want to play but never found a tutor who will focus on just this, just get told to learn traditional then I can play anything.

[@PianoGroove]

Hi Simon 👋 yes this lesson is from our "Slow Blues For Beginners" course with Hayden: www.pianogroove.com/blues-piano-lessons/slow-blues-piano-for-beginners/ - you might also be interested in our "Bluesy Stride For Beginners" course: www.pianogroove.com/jazz-piano-lessons/bluesy-stride-piano-beginners/ - Visit our website to learn more.

[@simonburch8762]

@@PianoGroove I think I will. Really need to just start again and enjoy it rather than focusing on grade pieces.

[@deanobambeano]

Would be great to see cool improvised licks to go over the top of those chords :)

[@ipasseddrivingschool6659]

Make your own up. He gave you the building blocks to build a blues house ya dig?

[@scottkb2000]

Hayden...do you have sheet music for the final 12 bars of this video (the last minute)? Can we get it if we join PianoGroove?

[@Cinemashow99]

Maybe a weird question but do you use sustain pedal?

[@williams3942]

Is this part of the blues course on your website?

[@debford2836]

On which beat are u playing the first note (approach) of the melody

[@PianoGroove]

If you are referring to the simple melody example in chapter 3, that will land on the final quarter note triplet of the previous bar, or the 12th subdivision of the previous bar, however you want to look at it. Hope that helps! PianoGroove

[@foodhead4677]

Epic

[@giacomomiglionico7504]

Are there blues pianist with this jazzy style?

[@cerebralmaster]

Why is Bflat called the 4 chord?

[@PianoGroove]

Hey Megan 👋- good question! If we think of the F major scale, Bb is the 4th note of the scale, and so when we build a chord from the 4th degree of the scale (Bb7 in this case) we refer to this as 'the 4 chord'. The 5th note of the F major scale is C and so 'the 5 chord' is C7. These 3 chords are used to create the most basic version of the 12 bar blues which we cover in this lesson. Hope that helps! PianoGroove

[@cerebralmaster]

Brilliant thank you! I've been working CFG chords so F was the 4th chord, so it threw me when Bflat suddenly became the 4th lol! @@PianoGroove

[@watnoudan]

NO blues musician is going to count to 12 whilst playing slow. No... way😅 Its that layed back feel you have. That "stank" you need to pull it off. Its almost like not counting at all. I really love this channel, and learn a LOT. But this one i resist, sir! 🙃

[@thomasjesser1464]

Why is it that I have never heard people simply say sev instead of seven. There is no mistake as to what it means, and it fits correctly.

[@iliasververis5024]

Well why shouls they

[@jontes81]

Tha a rea go id. Wh both wi lo wo.

[@i.ehrenfest349]

@@jontes81what?

[@marshwajr]

why shorten the seven when the it would be the only number shortened? sounds pointless to me

[@watnoudan]

Yeah i always say sev'n. Not seh'ven Is there anyone in these comment that doesn't talk gibberish btw? 😂

[@CephoStephen]

I enjoy learning from you but you play a little slower fpr me please.

[@mariolopes4157]

Good job, but slow down and stop digressing ur throwing beginners off. Thanks...😊

[@jorgehansen3130]

I’m a super beginner and I don’t feel thrown off. Just do what he says, practicing and practicing. Good luck. Cheers 😊👍🏻

[@Pleasure1964]

I'ts peoople like you, and your purely analytical approach to music that set me back years, and continues to distract, and frustrate me ! No one will ever learn to truly play from you ,or those like you anymore than painting buy numbers will allow them to create master pieces, you know this but you take their money everyday knowing the music must come from with in! You sir know you are not teaching anyone here how to tap into that!!!
