Play PIANO like a PRO 🎹

There’s something about the way you talk, your thought process, your unpretentious glasses, your basic t-shirt, and the sound of your piano that makes you irresistibly sassy or elegant. The whole experience is captivating, like watching Michael Keaton break down how to portray Batman.

“Stop Playing Triads”grabbed my attention. It’s exactly what I needed. Thx for the teaching technique. I know there are others out there like me.

[@_Alex_F]

Man I needed this. I've heard people talking about this before but you have such a great way of explaining the logic behind the choices you make. The voicing examples are very useful for someone who's not so sure of what they should be playing or what they're hearing on a song. It's also great that you were able to give us a sensible way to actually practice it and didn't just say "look for what sounds good". Some teachers can't really decode more "fluid" concepts like this into practice examples. Also, the on-screen graphics are so good, I really liked how you managed to display where the notes you're playing fall in the subdivision grid. This channel is pure gold!

[@michaelkeithson]

Great to hear. Glad you found some useful bits in there. Happy exploring!! 🎹

[@sotarules]

Just wanted to say thanks. This is such a good approachable way for me to learn. I'm a guitarist primarily, so the concept of licks resonates. The piano can seem daunting because there are so many degrees of freedom. But your way of doing it constrains it to extremely useful techniques such as left hand primarily doing 1/5 and kind of riffing with right hand to "fill out" the chord. And BTW your choices of chord voicings are just tear-jerkingly beautiful. You've reduced the problem to a manageable size making me think I could do this....

[@bobwerber2984]

[@CircLearnsMusic]

This lesson was aimed right at my ability level. I am finding that learning the piano is helping my guitar playing and my song composition. I am finding that on piano, the songs I’ve written on guitar are seen from a different angle and it opens up other directions possible for said guitar song. On piano it is significantly easier to produce notes and chords than on a string instrument…but that just allows the complexity to emerge elsewhere! Thanks mate!

From somebody whose favorite chord today is VII7/V7, triads are an extremely powerful music tool and no less valuable than the fattest chord you can stack.

I have been playing the piano over 25 days and its fun! Actually been playing for 3 months now and loving it. I have been playing guitar for 27 years along with bass, drums and mandolin for several. At least I know what I am doing when it comes to theory which has been helpful. Playing around with lots of chord shapes, getting into extensions and so forth as well as what you described in terms of putting the basic bass notes in with my left hand and attempting a melody within the key with the right hand. Based on your video I know I am on the right track 😁. A big takeaway for me is to start adding intervals. I will start to add that in, thanks!

[@Jazman342]

What a fantastic tutorial. Thank you. As someone who has played guitar for donkeys years and has a good grasp on theory but like most guitarists is a hopeless sight reader, this video is a God send. The whole left hand right hand co-ordination thing I would have thought should not be too much of an issue for someone who used two hands to play every note, but that's the issue. It's the fact that the hands are playing different notes on the piano. More a matter of brain co-ordination than hand co-ordination I suspect. That and muscle memory for interval shapes. Getting that locked in in 5ths in all keys would seem to be the first step, then getting that on auto pilot. I'm trying to push my sight reading at the same time with tons of simple tunes, never playing the same one more than twice on the same day. I think with reading, interval recognition is probably key too. Once again very helpful video thank you. Subscribed and looking forward to exploring your Chanel.

Excellent presentation!

🙏 Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it 👍

Great ideas and insights! thanks! Gonna try and incorporate all these. I already try to do it when I play, but most of the time i go a bit randomly at it. Don't really stop a think about it, but i think that having clear ideas is much better.

Nice! Happy practising! 🎹 Thanks for the comment 👍

I'm still halfway through the video, but thank you for this one. I love your channel, and I usually kind of get some of the things you show, but usually your content is pretty dense. Yeah, I'm a noob and you fry my brain. But this one was somewhat possible to understand and brought me new ideas at the same time!

Thanks Gabriel! Glad this one was a bit more digestible and helpful! Thanks for the comment.
