I bought Scott's book Ragtimify back in 2013 (I still have it in my Google Drive). It helped me land a job at a local piano bar, because I came up with some stride covers of a couple of pop tunes on the spot for the owner. That bar kept me afloat for probably 3 or 4 year.

If there is a piano bar that only plays Hanon Book 1 scales and arpeggios, then I’m in.

@@ScottBradlee I'm really glad you got to see my comment. I might not be playing in piano bars anymore (I'm a software engineer now) but I'm certain I'm not the only person you've inspired. I don't know if it's possible for me to understand how big of an impact you've had, but hopefully you get a taste. 🤎 (Also I do still play and have a TikTok)

Scott is excellent at explaining what he does. However he makes it seems easier than it is

Sure. Hitting the correct notes with 2 octaves in between them in fast tempo is very difficult. Even impossible for people with small hands

@@christianwouters6764 I agree. I'm intimidated to the point where I believe that if one has not been doing this style of playing since they were young then it's almost impossible. Some can even do it with their eyes closed.

He's a great teacher! Ragtime seems like a super intimidating genre, but he made it easy to understand and still fun! Now let me go give it a try and see what I think... 😅

I giggled with glee while watching this. A clear and straightforward explanation, and I could feel my fingers moving. I can't WAIT!

I've been playing my scales with a stride bass for over a year. It's getting better...this is the type of video that gives me inspiration. Merci.

4:33 In my mid sixties went to buy a lathe for engineering, while there was asked whether I wanted to buy a piano. Ok, both my parents were very good piano players. I wanted to play ragtime like my father but not hard classical like my mother. First time on piano went through grade one of sons school book, next day did the second book grade.2. Went to an old piano teacher who said she never met anyone who picked it up so quick. Went to another teacher who wanted me to play at a concert which I did. After 3 months of playing started to play Lizt Hungarian Rapsody No 2 , the hardest version. Showed a concert pianist the sheet music who said that after 25yrs of playing he couldn't play that and I would end up in the looney bin trying. He was right the first 4 pages went ok but then realized the rest was too hard for me so ended up playing Rachmaninoff Prelude in C Sharp Minor which was much easier to play the whole lot. When I tried to play ragtime I was baffled to find I couldn't even play the easiest versions. Put that down to my engineering brain type restricting me to structure and conformity. Gave up altogether as ragtime my preference, was beyond my capabilities. Now 75yo haven't played fpr years, but after seeing this vid will give it another go. Thanks Scott.

Now I know I just have to throw my piano out because I'll never be able to do this!! :-) Just kidding - I love Scott Bradley and PMJ, and can entertain myself on the keyboard.. I can make myself think I sound great after a few beers if the accompanying MP3 is loud enough..

Great video. I have been trying this style and playing some ragtime pieces from books. My right hand feels very relaxed and comfortable. However, my left hand feels a lot of strain and tension. How can I avoid that? Thanks in advance.
