Great Video! Forgive me for butting in, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Riddleagan Possessing Piano Remedy (probably on Google)? It is a good one of a kind product for learning how to play the piano easily without the headache. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my cooworker finally got excellent success with it.

[@BenBennett10]

Great Lesson! So important to learn these kinds of skills.

[@josequins9099]

Hands together is so difficult! Each hand want to do the same thing, with the same fingers, at the same time. Lots more practice needed to get them independant.

[@ruswatson3997]

Great. Thanks. I'm just a beginner and need to know this stuff.

[@DOLi0N]

Wow this is a great lesson, I just started learning 2 days ago

[@tesscooo871]

Thank you, I’m currently working on Mozart’s piano sonata No.16 in C. I’m a home learner so I never got taught proper fingering. So this really helped me play the fast part smoothly and I can now play it. Great tutorial easy to follow 👍

This was fun! Did hands together 2nd try!

[@aya-yr1ks]

thank you so much for this!!!

[@yossiglass]

Great video. Thanks! According to the video, when I play with the right hand, I play C, D, E with fingers 1, 2, 3 and then need to do 'finger crossing' in order to play notes F, G, A, B with fingers 1, 2, 3, 4. Is this always the case, even if I don't need to play (as least not for a while) A and B? Let's say that I need to play the following with my right hand: C, D, E, F, G. Should I play all of them without finger crossing (playing with fingers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5), or should I do finger crossing as shown in the video (so it will be fingers 1, 2, 3, 1, 2)?

[@lunabar62]

"it's generally complicated how fingering works" ah, yes.

[@wendaworkman8065]

Couldñt get it. Thank you. This is just what I needed.

[@waynelisiewski1155]

Looking for a lesson on finger crossing when you move up to the next octave. Like say a C scale and go two octaves up and down the keys.

[@Arczii1337]

If you have to go with RH from C⁴ to C⁶ then you put thumb on C⁵ (undercross from B⁴ to C⁵) instead of 5th finger, right?

[@JonelKingas]

Wow thanks man, these lessons are good, this one learned really fast :D

[@dmtripreport8542]

Thanks Tim, you da man!

[@yinyangxperience5137]

The thumb under technique is getting criticism for efficiency. How do you not thumb under or when do you not use it?

[@aashkasoni9245]

I'm learning right now....I like your first lesson ...

[@RinasSam]

Just what we need!

[@AmitThakorlovemeorhateme]

can the brain control two hands at the same time? i mean i am playing with my right hand and then combining with left land that is playing something else entirely, how is it possible to control two hands separately from the brain?

[@edwardjames6023]

Stop thinking abour what the other hand ia doing works for me

[@aswathymohan5423]

If you can say honestly, how many days you took to do it with both the hands together smoothly?

[@toliveisChrist70]

Thanks soooo much!

super helpful - person trying to learn piano at home without paying for any subscription service apps

[@maritzasanchez6520]

Sorry if you got this question before but does this work for every major scale? Also is there a specific method for minor scales?

[@CaliberFiftyVideos]

I would assume it's the exact same for any scale that has the same number of notes. 5 fingers, 8 notes, would be the same method in my opinion.

[@tarikligabi463]

hello teacher ,i started learning piano one week ago but i don't find a good rhythm to continue doing that , i don't know properly what i should do ,could you help me please ?

[@jacobharris5894]

Are you supposed to crossover with your third finger on all scales? I’ve noticed that the finger motion is very awkward with some scales depending on the orientation of the black keys and in some videos people tend to crossover at their fourth finger.

[@rosiefay7283]

For right hand upwards and left hand downwards, the pattern is 1 2 3 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 1 2 3 4 1... For left hand upwards and right hand downwards, the pattern is 3 2 1 4 3 2 1 3 2 1 4 3 2 1 3... So you see, some crosses are at the 3rd finger; some are at the 4th finger. The place in that pattern where you start depends on which scale and which note of that scale you start on.

Ha ha! You're funny!! I would love to have you as a sub on my easy piano lesson channel "Music Made Easy"! Great songs, no theory, and you'll be playing popular songs in just a few minutes. I try to all comments so leave one on the videos you watch! Hope to see you there!!

[@Tanmomo.]

But how about rush e

[@minimoogd]

how can you teach keeping the thumb out of the keyboard all the time? That's not a good technique. After crossing, the thumb must remain on the keys, not far from them like you show.

[@HelderGriff]

So basically, it is okay that thumb runs out of fingers but not when pinkie does it

[@uncertainultradian]

Very hard to take anything in with all the popups.
