Amazing Advice

[@Piano_Talent]

Thank you so much Steve for sharing your experienced knowledge

[@deltafour1212]

OMG! This is great! I cannot get hand independance for the life of me! This excercise is perfect to finally help me achieve it. THANK YOU!

[@Adrianwut]

Thanks man! This is one of the most helpful exercises I've seen so far on the subject of hand independence.

[@rickkinmon2068]

62 years old and loving this....

[@larbibenyounes787]

Thanks a lot ! I was looking for a way to teach my hands to grow independent and couldn't find a clear explanation that was breaking it down to simpler steps ! Great stuff :)

[@billhartz420]

Great stuff. 2 thumbs and a smile up!

[@PianoManSteve]

By all means, improvise around the concept and do your own thing with it when you get comfortable....that's what I do for sure. Glad the video helped and keep up the great work! Steve

[@PianoManSteve]

Glad it helped! Take care and thanks for the comment!

[@Johnulux]

Excellent stuff. Thank you

[@warrencantero]

[@king1234450]

What a nice bloke. Thankyou.

[@nazaharin]

Brilliant idea .. how come never have thought about it. Thank u very much for sharing.

[@yvettealine]

thank you Steve, easy baby steps help heaps. i'm dyslexic so i had to put the computer in front of a mirror to stop getting confused with left and right! both-right-left-both, that's really really helpful, now i can sit down and practice this until i can do it in my sleep!

[@greekmovie]

Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial. It helped me a lot! As you 've guessed, 36 years old here, and I'm trying to play the piano. Every evening for almost a year now.

[@housekayla44]

That was a sterling video. That was exactly what I was looking for. Your strategies are very creative, too. Thanks a bunch!

[@rahulgabrielle]

man, you are god... you just nailed it in the easiest way possible.

[@incuriainre01]

Great idea to get the rhythm in your mind. Thanks so much.

[@PianoManSteve]

You're welcome! I'm glad it helps! Steve

[@Jcrunk44]

Simply Amazing.. Good job man thank you

[@mosephina]

Very helpful...thank you

[@robertgoldsteen604]

Good one, thanks

[@premasru]

yep, I just thought I'd comment after hearing to the end of your video about 'adults', well, I'm almost 65 and I'm only now learning piano, never played an instrument before this. So, it's fun, and thanks for your great advice. I'm very new and at the stage of trying to overcome the hand independence thing.

[@canefan17]

You look great for 65

[@PianoManSteve]

@generatemusic My pleasure! I hope it helps! Steve

[@DJizzleM88]

Awesome - thanks

[@jimmeh7]

This did help! Thank you

[@PianoManSteve]

@rahulgabrielle Thanks! I'm so glad that it helped you!

[@zorritocitadino]

Thanks for the help!

[@generatemusic3507]

Thanks for this one!

[@juzzlookin]

Cheers mate, great idea to eat the elephant in smaller bites :D great technique, & thanks for sharing.

[@PianoManSteve]

I think you could start with either hand. When you start on the word "George" they will both be engaged anyway. Thanks for the question.

[@grahamkennethgarbutt9261]

Thankyou.

[@MrSame199]

Thanks alot!

[@rajulioloco4515]

I had a severe brain injury, not working now learning piano very helpful for me

[@PianoManSteve]

Glad it helps. Keep up the good work, and best of luck to you in your recovery!

[@lapluscachange]

Steve Lungrin thank you so so so much!! This was my biggest problem, after hours watching your videos and failing to coordinate the rhythm. This solution really is geniius!!!! Thank you and your wife

[@PianoManSteve]

@yvettealine So glad it helped! I'll keep trying to think of stuff like this to supplement the videos for everybody!

[@PianoManSteve]

@ShuyuKoukin Thanks! Silly stuff like this is often the most useful learning tactic I've found. :-)

[@97yawnac]

Ok, now my wife is gettin' mad at me slapping my legs and saying George Wash-ing-ton. I guess I better not do this behind closed doors or bathroom. People will really get curious. ;) Great lesson and I needed it. Hope to see a tutorial on sustain pedal soon.

[@PianoManSteve]

Thanks! Sometimes these silly techniques are the most effective :-).

[@canefan17]

Whenever I come across a difficult rhythmic pattern on piano, I practice it so slow it would drive most people crazy. Extremely slow and accurate practice pays off people. Slowwwww down.

[@PianoManSteve]

Nice! :-) Try it with Martin Van Buren!

[@stanclarke6434]

i found it easier going 1(r) and(l) 2and(both) 3(r) and (l) 4and (both) then constantly repeating. ie playing an eigth beat on individual hands and a quarter beat on both hands.however it was this video that inspired me. i now knw what my left hands for. thanx

[@premasru]

Canefan17, I am 18 or 19 in this photo. A friend sent it to me fairly recently. I hadn't seen this me in 40 years! My Facebook photo is more accurate, within 5 years at least.

[@drawsimple5590]

Thanks for the video, I hope this doesn't impact my daily life! Just gonna go watch ben10 with his sister gwen, or peter pen, only then go draw big ben, or write a poem, like big men, with my quill pen, i like that now and then.

[@PianoManSteve]

@97yawnac HAH! No Comment!

[@burpo]

So THAT'S it. All this time, I've been playing, saying "Millard Fillmore."

[@lolalolo7859]
