Finally, a gospel lesson that doesn't start with a complicated demonstration that is broken down into little complicated bits. I'm actually encouraged by this. I stand a chance of playing it! Thank you!

[@youngTAGZ]

😂 I know what you mean

[@WesR7009]

Exactly.

[@tyrekedagreat7964]

Idk what to tell you. Gospel music is complicated? Lmao

[@chafester4886]

You said it and AMEN!!! You have to wait to get through their complicated and fancy solo example, become intimidated by Satan, and then halfway through you just want to give up. SATAN IS A LIAR! No disrespect to anyone who teaches; but, this young man broke it down simply in order for understanding how to flourish once you learn it. To God be the glory.

[@TonyYikes]

I definitely agree!!

[@gospelmusic9582]

Whoever reading this, I pray for you that God visits your home today with Healings, Blessings, and Miracles. Amen.💕

[@bestgospelmix1852]

The Lord is with you brother.

[@curtispronk6058]

A couple months ago I watched this and went man he’s going too fast no way I’m getting this. Now I just practises playing scales and chord progressions and it actually came easy. Progress is really such an amazing this on an instrument and really motivates to push further.

[@iluvpugstoo]

This is so inspiring ! Makes me feel like I could actually play this. What a thoroughly nice teacher.

[@elnoradavis5116]

WOW! Amazing! You make me feel like I have a chance. I have struggled for so long trying to play. Thank you so much.

[@PianoteOfficial]

you got this!!

[@graemeandannmorton9781]

older person learning slow learning getting there, you are a really good Teacher.

[@barbgolden-viox5834]

Love his style! Will love having him as one of my teachers!

[@PianoteOfficial]

we were so lucky to get him!!

[@crystalk2553]

Amazing!! LOVE Erskine, what a wonderful teacher. Would love to see more from him.

[@PianoteOfficial]

More to come!!

[@hotmessmama3915]

You do a great job breaking it down and teaching it step by step. (I was a piano teacher for 15 years - classical a little of basic jazz) I'm trying to expand my church piano playing styles. I like to mix it up. So this is helping a great deal. Thank you!

[@yipyipi]

thanks for delivering actual gospel piano input instead of just 4 basic pop chords now I finally sound like Cory Henry

[@TheLordbut]

Wow! That's beautiful! You are also a great teacher! Thanks :)

[@PianoteOfficial]

Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@ege2026]

Starting from the very basic and then adding complications into it... a very wise method of teaching. Thank you!

[@jaysmith2151]

I love how on this channel whether it's you or the female both of you always show several notes and then play a beautiful piece out of them that I learn pretty easy and I would say I'm still very a beginner because I can't read sheet music.

[@sandymarr]

Made me so happy :)

[@eliasibgil2215]

You can find this chord progression in a song called " Don't leave just Yet" from Needtobreathe. Exactly in the chorus of the song at the end.

[@juliberk]

I subscribe to Pianote and it is definitely worth it. I just finished watching all the videos from this lesson and it’s so good.

[@PianoteOfficial]

very glad to hear that :)

[@lju5001]

Great lesson. Would love to see more gospel stuff.

[@dharryg]

Yes! More gospel, please!

[@PianoteOfficial]

You got it!

[@jacquelinenoakes9318]

I have tried to learn so many times. I am trying again. I will be there. Thank You 🙏

[@PianoteOfficial]

let us know how it goes !

[@SamRachel620]

Gracious! How is this for beginners?? Have to pause and rewind every few seconds to try and find the notes he’s playing. Goes so fast 😳 kuddos to those who can keep up

[@emilychandler7903]

Thank you my grandson for the lesson.

[@erskinehawkins3419]

Heyyyyyy no problem at all

[@joodakai]

With my new found love for Jazz, Gospel, and Neo-Soul: this demonstration has brought understanding to the structure of Gospel and inspires me to try this excercise! Wish more lessons were made in this fashion. Brilliant!

[@cavehaus]

This guy explains really well!!!

[@PianoteOfficial]

We are so lucky to have had him in the studio! Erskine is an incredible teacher!

[@cavehaus]

@@PianoteOfficial I'll keep my eyes peeled for more vids from Erskine and the rest of the team! :)

[@neildusseault8404]

Incredible! Having lived in North Carolina for over 7 years (and San Antonio since 2007) I've long since held a deep respect for gospel music, particularly those who perform it well. Very soulful. Perhaps a lesson on a gospel waltz?!

[@PianoteOfficial]

oooh good idea!

[@381811]

Hey Neil, do you teach?

[@cedricedgaradjakpa5021]

Hello, Thank you for this beautiful video. My name is Cedric and I currently live in Paris, I already play the piano for 5 years but I would like to learn and deepen the gospel and I would like to know how I could have gospel lessons on pianote and how the accompaniment could be done. Thank you very much ☺️

[@lisabolen1516]

Bro makes this look easy🤣 Gospel piano has the most soul to it than any other genere cause like you said it’s sloppy in a way which brings our human imperfections into a beautiful ear piece

[@aly4599]

Oh my goodness this made me so excited to go try this out on my piano! Thank youuu! Been teaching myself and looking to up my game🙏🏼

[@paulmorehouse9455]

Was wondering how to use the lower octaves but still have an uplifting feel = just started tinkering on the piano so def gonna follow this video and learn the patterns :) much gratitude !!

[@PianoteOfficial]

Let us know how it goes!

[@musicproductionstreams8021]

I could apply what you've taught into my practice immediately, thank you!

[@norakat]

At 1:08 and 1:19 he says "Minor 6th" and them plays a minor 7th. ..but I get it now, he means minor 6 chord as in the 6th note of the scale.

[@tonybird8465]

I'm making a point to reach outside my comfort zone and this lesson was perfect for that. Thanks for sharing.

[@PianoteOfficial]

You're so welcome!

[@tzodearf2596]

I heard syncopation that expands the harmony and rhythm at the same time. I heard nothing "trashy" about the way you play. Right now, the big help for me is setting up a regular progression by experimenting with different chord tones.

[@Tadi_theGreat23]

I love the trash cany feel gave the progression

[@septemberwalk]

great lesson

[@ЭкоИнтегратор]

Greate russian song: "А не спеть ли мне песню? О любви!"

2 Esdras 7:75 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times. 78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways. 81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times. 88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders. 92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come; and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified. 99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations." 102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." .....2 Esdras 7:75 //////////
