Super tutorial, unlocked the mystery, thank you!

This has been the best funky piano tutorial I ve ever seen! Thank you for doing that!

I just made your intro jam my new ringtone. very funky, love it!

My problem is that i'm afraid that if i could learn to play funky clavinet like this cat i might never get up from the keyboard. Gonna try it anyway.

Loved this toot, I now can understand why working w/ a metronome is a vital key to this. Mahalo!

Ima guitar player of 37 years and just started getting into synths... this is just what I was looking for LOVE IT!

I have been looking for a piano funk tutorial and this one is the simplest and probably the best funk groove tutorials in youtube. Very informative, especially for a beginner like me.. Thank you for this.

Fantastic tutorial! Straight to the point, simply explained. Thanks Mike. Going off to practice right now!!

I've been wanting to learn this ever since Stevie Wonder's "Supertition" came out. Thanks a million for sharing!

Brilliant video. Well explained.

An exelent funky tutorial, thanks you!!!1

Thawada Ahch I'm not the only one that felt I could quit understand what's up with this technique but you solved it. Your way is the best to apply in any situation with chord progressions or one chord vamps....

Hey, digging your vids! You are a great teacher and player, too. Don't stop...keep 'em coming

I've been wanting to learn this for 20 years.

Ah, finally someone explains it so I can feel it into it and apply it to different situations. Thanks for revealing the cheat code.

Wow, I was looking a midi tutorial on how to program clav riffs, but this is so informative and the theory has my head spinning with possibilities , you killed it man

Uuuuuuh. Yeah. That was ... to the point. After hours of research for "Funk music theory" ... that's really all I needed to know for know. Impressive!

i learned something new today :)

Brilliant. Thanks for posting

Best funky lesson ever! Thanks so much Micheal! Great teaching skills. Keep doing your good work!

Great lesson! This makes us mere mortals believe we can actually play like that. Thanks

Great tutorial. Never could get the hang of funky clav so I'll be practicing this till I get it under my fingers.

Thanks that’s very generous and helpful. Having been in music school in the 80s, as a bassist/guitarist, I learned all the theory and good stuff, but starting out again on keyboard technique is what I seek 🎶 (hmm)… and this is excellent! I subscribed. You’re very cool! Yep!!!😃🎶🎶🎶

Thank you from France !

I'd love to see you jammin' with the rest of the band, that must sound great. Kinda Pseudo Funk/Reggae would bring tears to the eyes of Stevie Wonder and Bob Marley. The Marley brothers should sign you up bro!

yEAH thansk that was amazing. you just leveled up my existing skills no end. Thank you.

And five years later, still, thanks!

Awesome!

I have been eating all my life for this video!!! Thanks SO much!

Smashing. Will work on these for future compositions! Thanks.

this is the best Funk Clavinet tutorial on youtube/the internet! thanks Michael!

That's so awesome I can smell it from here it's so funky

thanks michael...your technique is actually working for me!

Hello, Mr. Hartigan. I rolling with you, Sir!

You really helped me and my band. Thanks for offering it up to the world.

Thanks ... from Ireland☘️

Thanks. That was a super clear, foundational lesson.

Finally, a good tutorial! I salute you sir, for your natural pedagogical talent and a fun series of rhythmic building blocks that you have presented in this excellent video

Can't thank you enough. I'm a very mediocre keyboard player. Always loved the clav combing but couldn't figure out how to nail it and you explained it so easily. wow.. helped me a lot.. thanks again.. SUBSCRIBED 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Would absolutely love some more Funky funk piano tutorials similar to this video!

Very Cool. Thanks for posting.

He talks about how he’s playing 8th notes, but from where the natural downbeat is, they’re really 16ths. I Not meant to be a criticism... just if a beginner to intermediate musician is learning how to read & understand things... that could mess with your mind... the patterns he shows are helpful, & you can see it would be easy to improvise with stealing/borrowing a few of these techniques...

Awesome work, thanks Michael!

I like your video sir. Create more 😊👍 Who's watching here until now in 2020?

Fantastic tutorial Michael - thanks!

"I'll always worship you every morning in the direction you live"

My favorite video all day!

I'll never be even half as good as you but at least now I have the understanding, thank you so much!

Michael: Great Tutorial on the Clavinet. From a Sax Player who dabbles in Keyboard.

Gotta love that funky clav groove… Gotta learn how to play that…☮🔥

my problem is not the chords but, I forget quickly, tunes, melodies, so I see my fingers and my hands stuck on the keyboard without being able to play any music! finally thank you for sharing from Algeria :)

FANTASTIC!!!

Brilliant! Many thanks!

Loving everything about your gig man.

That was funky! Nice

You are a monster!!! Thank you!! Best tutorials

Nice course. Thank you !

This was really awesome! You explain the concepts wonderfully, thanks!

Saludos desde Argentina... Gracias. Abrazo

Absolutely sick tutorial! Great teacher 🤩

Thanks a lot for this so good lesson :)!

Awesome brother! A real musician.

Hello, thank you for your funky clavinet tutorial, it is very good ! ;)

You groovy genius, thank you!

Thanks man! I needed this!!!

Thanks. This is a great fundamental to start! very good and usable presentation.

Thank you and God bless you..very helpful and funky lesson!!!

Great stuff, you've got a decent talent for teaching too. The banjo roll tip is excellent. I mean the string bands would basically need to imply their beats with that syncopated roll, speed it up on the 3rd so you can tap a foot. Got me confused as to whether I want to listen to Stevie Wonder or frickin' Stanley Brothers m8.

Mike, Thank you very much for this great tutorial. I play mostly funk bass but I'm re-exploring my keyboard roots now through lens of funk. This is a great video to help make that transition. I'm definitely subscribing! :) J.

Wow this is fantastic! Thanks for sharing

Great lesson,Easy to understand.

A gracious thank-you Michael. A superbly scaffolded lesson - Hallelujah. The funk Clavi groove I've been after. Cheers. :)

Cracking tutorial. Many thanks!

Brilliant, thanks 😊

This was really amazingly useful! Thank you so much for such a great and concise video!

Awesome. Gonna try this. Appreciate you sharing. Did subscribe!!!!❤

I Just wanted to say THANK YOU. Omg, Ive pretty much been playing piano and writing songs more or less for my whole life. However, almost everything I do, is mostly all by EAR. I have great natural pitch and a good memory for musical tones. So for me it has always been faster & easier to just "sound out" a song by ear. (It slows me down and i really have to think hard to try and read sheet music) so, given my musical background, (fairly advanced piano player however still mostly untrained) You probably wouldnt be too surprised to learn that i also dont know a whole lot, as far as music theory goes either. (Aside from a few little things ive picked up thru experience/trial & error, etc..) So although im a huge fan of funk music, ive never really been able to break it down on my own, & strip it to bare bones, and figure out what it is exactly, that makes funk sound like funk. I even wrote an original song which (due to happy accident) came out sounding like it belongs in the funk genre. But i still couldnt really pinpoint why or how it had happened in order to try and replicate that same process! Lol. All i knew was i wrote it to a preset keyboard beat that was labeled as "off time." Anyways the entire point of my rambling was to say thank you for making this video. I just watched it for the first time today, and even though i havent got the chance to apply any of these principles to my playing yet, i still somehow feel like you explained so much to me about things ive been trying to figure out for years. I feel like your video and your technique will become an invaluable tool in my small arsenal of music books and vids that I occasionally refer back to. So thank you very much. I really appreciate you taking the time to share this with all of us. 💗 xoxo ✌😏 (subscribed to your channel too, btw.)

wow!! this is amazingly useful i tend to take little advice and go far with it,and this was perfect!

genius you got the funk !!

Damn!!! That's funky

you're the man. thank you so much for sharing!

Awesome!! Thanks mate 🤘🏼

You make it so easy!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!

This is fucking amazing. He explains the theory behind it but also gives the "rough" thing, so leaves a lot of space to experiment and play, love it
