I'm with you since day one.. and i think I'm improving daily, i never get tired of watching your piano lessons, they're real amazing ❤. Thank you🤝

Thanks very much indeed - I'm really glad you like them!

5:54 Yes, I want to sound cool on the piano, Bill! There's a difference between videos which claim to help beginners (but only include a basic demo) and then there are videos which really pinpoint the problems of beginner pianists, help them address and overcome the problem AND teach and motivate them how to improve and eventually overcome this problem. Bill's videos are consistently the latter, and I really appreciate how he keeps his audience "students" in mind and their goal of progressing in their musical journeys❤ (Yes, yes, ah... that's it I have sticky finger syndrome!) Thanks Bill, keep up the awesome work (love your flat cap and camera work also)😊😊😊

You're really welcome, and thanks very much for the kind words - I don't always get the approach exactly on point, but I'm glad you think I do most of the time! Good luck with sounding cool 🤣 and shout if there's anything I can do to help!

First watch through and now to actually....put on my flat cap and play :)

@BillHilton Ай бұрын

I'm not entirely sure what the south coast equivalent of a flat cap would be. A pork pie, a la Arthur Daley? A panama? A boater?

I’m on vacation and don’t have my keyboard with me so this is tiding me over until I’m home.

You can always practise the left hand patterns on the counter of the swim-up bar 😂 Have a wonderful vacation and let me know how you get on with this when you get home!

I got back from vacation last Saturday and even though I was exhausted after travel and unpacking, I did find time to work on this. After a week, I’m enjoying my progress. I mostly just use Bb, Eb, and high Bb in my right hand and just started experimenting with the G today. When my fingers get confused, I just take a time out and play a few repetitions in the left hand.

@BillHilton Ай бұрын

Excellent - that's definitely the right approach. Keep working on it and let me know how you get on. And I hope you had a good vacation!

Bill, I turned chords 1, 3, and 5 into 7ths also, to get some very interesting color added to the progression, which also seemed to open up a few more right hand keys to have a play with. Like both.

@BillHilton Ай бұрын

Good idea, Lon - I thought about mentioning that in the tutorial but thought it might be a level too far. Glad you tried it, though!

@DougyWW 2 ай бұрын

You obviously had fun doing this video - lots of fun, great content. Theory wise I see the chord progression has a nice ascending bass line that builds to the 4 chord before looping. The Fm7 pulls in the Eb note to bridge nicely from the Eb chord and then onto the Eb/G chord. And finally the Eb chord notes in the right hand focus on 3 of the notes from the pentatonic scale so it should sound good no matter what you hit. (The notes F and C should work nicely as well.) At least that’s my amateur analysis.

@BillHilton 2 ай бұрын

You’re exactly right, Dougy - it’s all about notes from the pentatonic scale over diatonic chords. Always safe ground. Thanks indeed for that (and you’re right about F and C; the Ab I add at the end isn’t from the Eb pentatonic, so maybe has to be used a bit more judiciously (depending on the sound you’re after…)

Never realised how much I relied and appreciated the PDFs normally attached. Mine are all covered in scribbles and hints.

@BillHilton 2 ай бұрын

Indeed - they’re a tool to be deployed with caution, though, as some people dip out as soon as they see there’s a PDF (“too much like hard work…”) and yes, you’re right the vid probs isn’t going to help people who approach things like that, but it does rather kill the watchtime, which affects the video’s performance in the algorithm, so people who might find it useful never see it… Also every video with a PDF adds to my mighty stock of “I can’t download the PDF!” emails, which I could already employ a moderately sized call centre to deal with…

Hi Bill ! I wonder if there is anyone with my problem ? Learn right hand, learn left hand..........then hands together. All is fine until I use the pedal!!!! Everything goes beserk ! Your kind advice please.

@BillHilton 2 ай бұрын

It's pretty much a universal problem, Alice - it's tempting to assume that, when playing with both hands, the total difficulty is [difficulty of playing left hand] + [difficulty of playing right hand] but actually it's more difficult than that (and stays that way!). The best strategy in the early days is to practise one hand (typically the left) until you have a very high degree of automaticity - it's one of those situations where you have to practise past the point at which you think you've got something. So the short and boring answer is "keep going!"

l got the F7sus4 for the 2nd combination on my synthizer. (not theFm7).😢 And the Eflat sounds breathtakingly beautiful playing it separately. Anyway, how long do l have to make my neighbours suffer?

@BillHilton Ай бұрын

Weeks and weeks and WEEKS! 🤣 I'm sure they'll think it's worth it in the end, though. Keep drilling away at it, and let me know how you get on!
