I'm just getting started with this style of teaching - please let me know if you have any feedback so I can make these videos as valuable as possible! I also have a couple of 'Learn in the Groove' Funk tutorials here if this teaching style resonated with you :) kzfaq.info/sun/PLhSdOEQxegGU6gqoB7fOci8NcjbA9DOYx

My feedback: begin the video by immediately showing an example of the final result. I personally will not commit to a 35-minute youtube video when I have no idea what I'm going to get out of it. There's just not enough time in the day.

Cheers thanks for feedback I'll take that on board - my reasoning was that I figured people might skip ahead to check out the end and was trying to save time - because it's a 12 bar progression the time blew right out! But yes it seems to be what most other piano tutorials do so I'll experiment with it :)

I have been working on this and the previous one you did on funk piano and I am simply floored. These two videos are elite masterclasses in their genres. I have seen *so* many videos on "how to get started in funk (or blues) piano" and none of them have provided nearly as much practical, useful, and super-cool ideas as these. Either that, or they start out way above my level and I'm left in the dust. Someone could apply these to multiple keys, practice them until they get good at them, and already they would be a valuable addition to a band. Another great aspect about these videos is that you don't have to learn it all and pile it on. You can just pick up parts, and they're useful on their own. Then come back later and try out additional ideas.

Dan thanks for taking the time to give me this specific feedback - The benefits you describe are exactly what I was intending when I created this and I am so glad it is working for you!! I'm committed to finding the most productive and fun ways to get people flying on the piano but also allowing room for individual creativity. Hearing your comment helps me build upon and refine my teaching style. Thanks so much mate, I appreciate all your support :) :) :)

Harder than it looks at first but a wonderful lesson. Weeks and weeks of learning just to get through it. So glad to have the notation, though he does what he says he'll do--uses it as a guideline, not a rulebook. Fantastic lesson overall.
@pianoproductivitypeace2 ай бұрын
Cheers for the comment :) Yes in most contemporary genres I would say that is true for sheet music, just have it as a guide - how you improvise, interpret, express is where the fun is at! Hope you are enjoying the blues!

What an amazing format to be teaching / learning through youtube. I'm totally hooked on these videos. As a beginner on piano, with this I got such a strong starting foundation and understanding about all these techniques. Soon I'll be able to join in on the basic jams done at the local Jamsessions with enough knowledge to keep things interesting! Thank you so much, I'll keep an eye out for future videos🤓 Ps, do you have content or know good sources to learn about the midi programming you do on your device? I would love to learn how to do this so i can create my own backing tracks or maybe learn to live loop with a midi controller 🤯once I've improved enough
@pianoproductivitypeace3 ай бұрын
First of all thank you for your comment and I hope these help empower you for the jam sessions! I've been writing in the parts using virtual instruments in pro-tools. I haven't delved into using loops in live performances but I imagine there would be some resources on KZfaq - maybe search for 'how to write MIDI loops' or something along those lines When I get back into videos I might do a video on how I do things in pro-tools software if that helps Cheers again for your comment and hope this brings you to some great jam sessions!

Mr Court, Sir. I have a question confused, could you answer me? that when i Practiced to play in session 6 of your F blues sheet, parallel chords in groove sheet, C7 chord with Eb-Ab-C voicing in right hand, because it's dominant chord, V degree of 12-bar blues construction, could i change this C7, Eb-Ab--C voicings into Eb-Bb-C, Cm7 chord voicings? also it's V degree chord of F mixolydian scale, that parallel chord too. Thank you, Sir.
@pianoproductivitypeace6 ай бұрын
Parallel chords over the V chord
@matrixswitcher6 ай бұрын
Really appreciated your powerful reply,that to substitue C7 in 12-bar blues, of using C7#5#9, it's becaused your intention to have one more strong tension for dominant chord, meanwhile that's to play in mixolydian scale applying, that will be more compatibly amazing elements adding into melody playing, am I right for understanding your play? Thank you, Sir, for that♥👍👍👍, to have parallel chord over the V chord@@pianoproductivitypeace

Very useful stuff, and a great way to teach. I am confused about one thing, however. Are chords 5 through 1 in Figure 6 (Parallel chords up the F mixolydian scale) annotated correctly?
@pianoproductivitypeace7 ай бұрын
Thanks for the comment and I've just realised that is a mistake that I didn't notice at time of publishing - those 4 chords are a 3rd lower than they should be - but essentially the concept is take that 2nd inversion shape and move it up and down the F mixolydian scale - hope this helps and sorry for the confusion :)

It's another excellent tutorial, but its effect is largely ruined for me by the fact that YT recently made it impossible to use an adblocker. Now the video is interrupted every 4-5 minutes by yet another ad. If you post a video of just the backing track, it will be almost impossible to make use of it, because of the constant interruptions. Have you considered hosting video on your own site? Or making audio-only tracks available for download? Even if you had to charge. I'd rather pay you than pay for youtube "premium," which I am guessing contains unpleasant surprises along with the claims that it is "ad-free." Sorry for the gripe-fest.

Dan, thank you for your continued support and I'm sorry you aren't having the best experience with youTube ads! I'm currently looking into best ways to release my backing tracks via royalty free sites and am waiting for a pond5 account to verify me. But it the meantime I've uploaded my first and only one to bandcamp and will keep including them up there to download cheap for practice or to use as royalty free stock music if it suits! pianoproductivitypeace.bandcamp.com/track/g7-funk-backing-track-swinging-16ths-80bpm Hopefully this is a good solution for now :) Once again thanks for all your kind comments with my videos, I appreciate your support :)
