It’s actually very entertaining to watch you try to hold yourself back and play a song straight lol

[@euphoric_suspenseuniverse3933]

😂 bro was like I’m getting ahead of myself and just went right back head of himself

[@tatakaloyisomajolatatakalo5316]

That's a mark of Good and humble teacher...we've seen guys doing it just to show off their skill level,yet claiming the video was for learning purposes.

[@thegiftedhandsmusic]

The struggle was real! But it’s great to know yall are entertained by my pain 😂

[@Ambrosius50]

Thanks. Very useful. I often do this myself when I find and very interesting tutorial like this.

[@TFCooking]

Love your explanations and commentary. And seeing how basic hymns can be embellished and enriched in so many different ways without losing the essence of the song 🙏❤✝️🕊

[@MarkHunterSolo]

At level 6 I was hearing a song within a song where “When you wish upon a star your dreams come true” was hidden within “The old rugged cross”. There is a sermon in there somewhere as how many of our personal songs are hidden inside the cross (For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God - Colossians 3:3)

[@languageprogressions9111]

Thank you for providing all this information man. I always can expect to learn a lot in each of your videos

[@danielgolden90]

I’m not even the whole way through the video yet, but this is ! Love it. So many good nuggets in here.

[@thegiftedhandsmusic]

Daniel! Let’s go 💪🏾

[@randyking1527]

More lessons like this please 🙏 I love how you go through the different levels, that way i can see where i currently am and where i need to fo next. Big ups! 🙌

[@wendellhicks]

I feel like Im going to spend tye next month just on this video. Awesome breakdown because I absolutely love this song.

[@purrplemane5954]

Yeah man. Me too. In fact I have started since watching the video. Still working with level three to perfect it and work out the kinks in my fingers. Should be moving on to level four this week. One of the best tutorials I have come across to far. Much blessings Elijah

[@WaltersRussell-e5f]

Thank u Sir❤

[@RodZilla11]

PLEASE FORGIVE ME: Do you have videos, teaching with just LEVEL 1? You’re talking like we know what you’re talking about and I’m just starting to learn the piano and have no clue what you’re talking about. I have no idea what my left hand is supposed to be doing as I haven’t learned how to read music yet. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@tubeo94]

I say you dont need to read music to play piano unless your music path needs it like classical. In a way it will slow you down. I learned to read because one of my class requires it, ive never used it once after that. For his “level 1”, you should learn about scale, major scale, notes in major scale, chords in major scale. It should take you a month if you stupid like me or faster. Western music was designed in a way that you can play off a Chord with just one letter like C D E… Just be consistent and youll get it in a blink

[@DESIGNS-vo1mt]

Can not wait for the masterclass

[@thegiftedhandsmusic]

6 days and counting! 🕰️

[@MrChinoox]

God Bless you, Elijah! You've been a blessing to me, and I'm sure many others. You are a great teacher!

[@thegiftedhandsmusic]

That’s amazing to hear! The goal is to help you become a better musician so we’re glad to be a part of your journey

[@MrChinoox]

@thegiftedhandsmusic Not to try and sound deep, but I'm a man of God first, then a musician. So, the music is serious to me. It is ministry. So, what you do for those like me echoes in heaven when we offer our gifts to Him.

[@dennrhodz-vw5cb]

U are such a great teacher.. Am following. Much love from Uganda

[@thegiftedhandsmusic]

🙌🏾 Just hear to impact the Gospel community

[@nasswell2]

Thank you very much for this video on these different theories applicable to gospels. the message got across well. I think that if this is how you taught us since then, we will have a considerable good level today. Thank you for thinking of us too.

[@peeckle1657]

Amazing brother, i wish i could play like that one day ❤🙏God bless you ✝️

[@jonathanmentor7890]

Allow God to change your life. If you are living in sin, dealing with anxiety or depression, Jesus Christ can make you a new person and give you a changed heart. Nobody is perfect and we all deserve hell but God still loved us regardless to become a human living sacrifice to pay for your sins and mine. Because God became like us in flesh, we become like Him by his Spirit(love, joy, peace, patience, kindness...) when we put our faith in what He did for us. His Spirit will change everything in your life. God bless whoever is reading this and I hope that you seek Him with all your heart.

I don’t play piano but don’t know why Iam here, GBU bro ❤

AMAZING

[@sme9157]

That’s awesome teaching ❤. What’s the piano patch that you are using?

[@jdiaz4877]

I gotta practice this, sometimes I want to go too fast and add chord extensions and then I lose the integrity of the song!

[@thegiftedhandsmusic]

Man that’s it! 💯 The melody and basic chords are the integral parts of the song. If we start there everything else comes easy

[@derrickb8311]

Love this hymn. Just a little to many options and changes. Wished you would stick with a specific version cause there are too many options once you got to level 5. When I'm trying to follow you, you switch, then you switch again... Wonderful playing though.

[@cherylcrockett7798]

Aww - - - the video with Jason is mirrored (reversed)! still excellent though.

[@thegiftedhandsmusic]

That’s a huge compliment and I respect your opinion 🙏🏾 but that man has been in the Gospel industry for 30+ years. With countless records, nominations and accolades

​@@thegiftedhandsmusicI prefer you as well. ❤ Not taking away from seasoned and blessed gifted elders....but you are the best. Stay well!

[@bowlegit2]

Not trying to take anything away from him, however I have been around some of the best musicians there is, I studied from one of the best classical/jazz/ gospel musician , he's been all over the world, I myself have played with a few well known vocalists, I just stopped taking lessons after about 5 years, and I was only 15 at that time however I've played with numerous bands, never was a great gospel keyboardist, that's why I'm watching all of you guys, but some guy just have that special touch, and some do too much, but your right in the grove, keep up the awesome work, I'm 64 now here in baton rouge Louisiana, I think if I put in a good three years of practice, I can make a good living in the church, ttyl, God bless you and continue to bless your fingers!!!
