Thank you!!

@@Groovetude Thank YOU!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

Üaaaaaaaaaa aww that's sweet 19

Thank you Chris. I'm glad it was helpful!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

Those are good tips. Focusing on the rhythm only is very useful to build coordination gradually. Glad you find these useful 👍

I really struggled with the left hand too at first, some more tips: - Use a metronome with 16th note subdivisions. Slow it way down until you get the feel of the riff. - Play only the first 3 (or even 2) notes of the riff and double them up. This is still plenty challenging for me right now, and allows me to practice all the right hand note groupings. Definitely a great and deep exercise! I feel I'll be chewing on this for a while :)

Ha, yeah, the (advanced) part is pretty key in the title. I was able to get the left hand up to speed with a metronome quickly enough but even tapping quarter notes with my right hand... woof.

For me, rhythm is my biggest challenge. I'll need much practice for this but I have a goal now.

Yes! Drum and percussion methods are surprisingly useful for pianists. Thank you for watching!🙏

I'm a keyboard player and I took a few drums lessons thinking I'm going to learn about drums to be a better arranger, turns out I learned about rhythm to be a better keyboard player. I definitely recommend this idea.

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks!

@Philidor64 How’s your hand coordination after 2 years?

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

It does help! It can be a lot to take in without the organization. Thanks Dom!

You're welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I am very glad that my content is helping you Rémi. Thank you for your words!

How long did it take you to develop hand coordination?

Glad you find it useful! Thank you!🙏

Glad you find it useful!

Glad to hear. It does work well!

Glad you found these useful!

You’re welcome!

You’re welcome!

I want to study with you. Is it possible?

Yes! I have openings. Contact me through this page: www.groovetude.com/private-lessons , or you can also send me an email directly to groovetude1@gmail.com and we can work something out.

Thank you!

You're welcome!

Thank you! It is advanced, but I'm glad you find it helpful! Counting is important. Not necessary to do it out loud, but what really matters is having awareness of how the rhythms you play align to the pulse and to the measure. The goal is to understand rhythm in relationship to a pulse and not to only memorize how it sounds by ear. At some point, the "counting" becomes internalized and you can just feel the pulse and subconsciously know where you are. The way to get there is to always count and use a metronome anytime you practice or learn new music.

Thank you!

Glad you think so. Thank you

Thank you!

Hey. Send me an email at groovetude1@gmail.com

@@Groovetude sent a couple of days ago!

Thank you

@@Groovetude no I gotta thank YOU. This was so helpful!!

Thank you! You can try the same method with an easier left hand pattern if that helps!

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it! These methods will help you with anything that involves two handed coordination. You can apply it to any chord progression, just make sure you create some kind of repetitive left hand accompaniment pattern and stick to it. You need some kind of steady framework that keeps you accountable and forces you to be rhythmically aware of everything you play. You can also flip the hands and play something repetitive on the right hand and practice developing improvisational freedom on the left hand.

@@Groovetude Thabks dude 👍

I’m not a drummer but I take a lot of inspiration from drum methods. They transfer very well into the piano and they work!

True. Tempo is a bit fast for focused practice, but you can always play around with the playback speed setting. Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you!🙏

@@Groovetude no dude, THANK YOU, im showing all my friends this

Hey, I received you email but I don't think I can reply to it because it came from a text to email service. Please share an email address where I can reply to

Glad you enjoy this approach!

You can try speaking a 4 syllable word on each beat or simply counting 1234 fast on each beat, that should help you get the feel for the subdivision. If this is your first time trying out any kind of 16th note syncopation, I would suggest for you to try something way simpler. This exercise is very challenging!

@Groovetude Indeed, I tried the same thing (splitting into 16) as I checked out some drumming videos too. I could figure out the correct accents. Thanks! The only problem that remains now is doing left hand 16th note and right quarter note accents together. In fact, I realized there is an irony here. We do have a sense of correct rhythm in our brain that helps us align the left hand pattern with random accents correctly & repeatedly. But the problem appears only when we try to divide that equally (with right hand) to add accents simultaneously while playing the left hand accents. Hand-coordination is an essential skill for Piano-playing and one can't go too far without it. Knowing music theory doesn't help here either. I reckon I have to give up now. I have been singing all the while and never had rhythm issues while singing. But this is probably the end of what I can achieve on Piano :(

You need to start with way simpler patterns and work your way up to something like this very slowly. It takes a long time to develop these skills. Drum videos are usually very helpful for this topic. Keep learning and don't get discouraged. Good luck

@@Groovetude Thanks, perhaps I need to approach it differently with simpler patterns. One more strange thing I found - Substituting mouth for the left hand pattern and still using the right hand for quarter notes also works. But then it doesn't remain a hand-coordination thing any more..

Those two are the hardest ones! I would recommend you figure out exactly where they land in relationship to the left hand and then slowly practice the whole two handed rhythmic structure, thinking of it as one unit and not as separate hands. As you gradually get more comfortable with it, you will start feeling it as two separate parts. Also remember to not shift your perception of the pulse and to practice with a metronome to keep yourself in check.

@@Groovetude thanks! will do. I've been applying this technique to other, more simpler pieces, and found that this technique works pretty great so far. It's just that the example shown in the video has a bit of a challenging rhythm. Thanks for the great work!

Glad to hear it's been helping you. It does work for any kind of pattern, practicing these kind of things has made a huge impact in my playing. So far I find it the most efficient way to develop rhythmic skill and coordination. Thank you for watching!

Yes, will probably do an easier version of this at some point. Glad you enjoyed it!

Try to focus less on separating parts and more on coordination and combinations of patterns. Good luck!

@@Groovetude True that, but the brain just breaks at that point as you mentioned in your video. Trying to do the exercises you mentioned, but not sure I understood those too well.

Hahaha, reboot and try again 👍

Don't get discouraged. I would suggest you try something easier, these examples are for advanced players

You sound and feel left out. Usually always down to a misunderstanding unique to the player (you have to have random things that others can do easily be hard and sometimes invisible to just you alone) I recommend you attempt an exercise with notes you prefer rather than 'first exercise'. *Not something you really like though*, as that is already playable and part of your team and requires minimal efforts to achieve. This most likely won't work either. This being said, still go ahead with it by mapping/preparing/setting your fingers on the keys with out pushing down. Attempt the rhythm of the exercise by tapping the keys lightly enough not make them sound. If this is definitely not feeling likely to be successful. The other way is the illogical discordant way of attempting it with the worst choice of notes you would ever choose/recommend. Make the right and left hands choice of notes sound good when played by them selves, but are extremely discordant when played together. Still nothing?? Put your hands closer together. or double the length of your notes (½note = 1 note) Also, the first example recomended of anything is commonly not suitable as it is usually decided by a person who is capable of all the exercises and much more. Their judgments of what's best for the level you are now at, can be 10-30 years more attempted and richer in sound by the time they get to release a book or suggest. I know you will not even consider these let alone attempt them, in which case i wish you peace. Regards Left out sucks!!
