Build Keyboard Confidence With Stride Piano (Beginner Lesson)

Fats Waller, Oscar Peterson, and Scott Joplin.
They’re some of the greatest pianists of all time, and they all played stride piano.
Stride was a hugely popular form of jazz piano in the early 20th century. It’s not easy to play, because it involves jumping your left-hand around the keys (or striding - hence the name).
Because of this, it’s also a fantastic way to improve your keyboard familiarity, accuracy, and your understanding of how chords are made and how you can play them.

The moment Sir. Sam played with both his hands I realised that all the exercises he showed was worth it because it opened a new world for piano harmonization.Thank you very much and hope to learn more from you in the future.

Watching this again, I've been working on Stride for 4 months now. Sam is right, it gets easier, but slow is always the best way to practice.

Merci for this. I've been trying Stride for about a month and had been doing just chords. This is a great addition and will add it in. Excellent advice to take it slow. I'm trying to get it now with eyes closed. I watched someone just move his hands over the keys and said you just have to feel each octave. FYI they never change. A C is a C is a C. And Black Notes are your friends.

Yes, you can actually understand what he is saying. With all due respect the heavy British accents are sometimes impossible to interpret.

A nice introduction to a Left-Hand Stride pattern. I wish you could have delve deeper and teach us how to apply the Stride pattern to an actual song. Use a song with a simple I - IV - V progression. It would make learning the Stride more fun and meaningful. Just playing the Root and 3-7 or 7-3 of every chord gets boring pretty quickly. So how about teaching us an actual song using Stride pattern. I hope Pianote will eventually develope a Course on Left-Hand Patterns and the application of these LH Patterns to different songs. Essentially what I wish is for Pianote to teach us how to play Lead Sheets.

Nice video. I am in the middle of learning the entertainer by Scott Joplin. It’s tricky doing the stride bass in it.

Thanks for giving such a unique lesson. I don't hear this kind of music in my head so I find it difficult to play it but I think it's good to stretch your musical muscles. Thanks again

I think it is worth mentioning one can stride with any chord - it isn't a function of the major 7th, that is just what he chose to show. I like thinking of the major 7th as a stretch, my instructor has me doing strides with the basic I-IV-V chords. I like practicing this, it opens up the keyboard for beginners like me. Landing on the bass sharps and flats is a chore, but as Sam says, practice land the chords really cleanly - you are going to have to go slowly, at first - have to pay your dues!

Yes such a great point! Thank you

@boldcautionproductions9203 4 жыл бұрын

@@PianoteOfficial About a year and a half into learning to play - it is hard to believe that I will ever get good at stride, but then I look at what my brain/hands have learned so far and get back to practicing. The learning definitely is still happening at what seems like a snail's pace... Still fun, though. Learning is definitely not just seeing something once and then being a master at it.

Really good and well taught, but the video itself would be much better for me with the demo you did at the end being done at the start, and including faster examples etc even if we do have to work hard to get there, we are inspired to listen to the rest and not just go to some other KZfaq video.

@aemonkirev6279 3 жыл бұрын

The terms in music theory or education MAKE A DIFFERENCE! FYI: nobody plays a major 1 chord (or basically any major chord) with the major 7th. They play the 3rd and 6th. Traditionally or modernly, they play a 4 note voicing in the right hand. Also, inverting the 3rd and 7th does not create new harmony. NO ONE WOULD PLAY STRIDE PIANO THIS WAY

It doesn't sound good😂😂 To be honest Its just my opinion Couldn't you have used a jazz progression on the left It would've sound 200× better

Hello pianote and the family . I want say something about our country. Music. I am Ethiopian . We have many scales and beats . We use specially pentatonic scale . But we use in church most unknown scales . Which is called "dorian pentatonic " and " mixo Lydian pentatonic " dorian pentatonic is in the key of c .... D , E , G , A , C , AND D AGAIN . Mixo Lydia is. . G , A , C , D, E , AND G AGAIN ALSO. I KNOW YOU HEAR THE EXOTIC SOUND BUT WE USE THOSE SCALES TO WORSHIP AND PRAISE GOD IN ALL PROTESTANT CHURCH .
