1:36 First lick 2:58 Second lick 4:35 Third lick 6:30 Fourth lick 9:55 Fifth lick

Pretty dope to see a successful musician who doesn't need to make videos like this sharing the knowledge

So, checking out the licks--it's actually the left hand stuff and the chord fragment rhythmic stabs that make them so cool. So maybe talk about that stuff in future. Maybe take some stock chord changes and show a couple of cool left hand things and some right hand rhythm stabs. I would dig that. Like a bed to drop those licks into. What you played at 4:25-4:35 was super cool. I'd love to have that in my toolkit.

I had to watch parts of this over and over again because I kept getting so distracted by that stunningly beautiful Vintage Vibe EP that I didn't really hear what he'd said.

I’m assuming everyone else is loving the left hand work in this video?

A lot of folks would appreciate thought process behind left hand riff & chord progressions.

I don't mean to bore you but I have a testimony. I started playing for church when I was 13, have been to service (Navy) played there too. Now, unfortunately when I was 42 I had a 5way by-pass, 7 strokes & a few TIA's (I'm 54 now). My timing is slightly off, stopped playing in 2012. Now, I'm trying to get back in the groove again. Thanks to a neighbor & friend who comes by and pick me up every now and then to give me some therapy & keep me active (had to stop driving). My style of playing was gospel, jazz, funk, but I wanted to give you props for giving me inspiration & a GOOD tutorial on playing "funk licks" on the piano, Thanks a lot.

Lovely! For a beginner on the keys like myself, to see how simple the licks actually are is an encouraging thing. Agility comes with time.

You have a wicked left hand. I really gotta work on that more than anything.

I really appreciate you. Since I went to music school long ago as a bassist and guitarist and I have been learning keys and singing over the past decade, I am hip to music theory and theories of learning and your presenting a lot of technical knowledge you have rather set me free to plug in the different keys and intervals as necessary in my own evolution which is what seems to be your point. Extremely helpful!

This is brilliant! Thank you, Matt, for showing it slowly so that slow learners with 9 thumbs like myself have the chance to pick it up. 🤗 Kenny Werner’s technique of effortless mastery always resonnated with me and being able to figure out the muscle movements are great value!

Please could you make a tutorial on chord progressions? either some of your favourite or how to make them. Thanks!!

Great licks played with superb feel. I also love the way they are sensitively incorporated into the parts you play.

You are amazing ! I grew up on Lee Michaels, Rascals, Doors and played key bass (Hohner) with my B 3. thanks for keeping the fires burning.

”...and then you just speed it up” - proceeds to turn the speed up from challenging to beyond ludicrous in a heartbeat 🤯😆 Quite impressive sir. Thanks for these! This is just what a self taught keyboard nerd like me needs to break out of ruts and really push my limits.

Thanks Matt! Your generosity with the wisdom is greatly appreciated! Best, Daniel 🙏🏼

I've been improvising on keys for over 20 years (as long as I've been a jamiroquai fan!) and these videos have really improved my playing. I legit take notes while I watch. Thank you!!!

Cheers Matt, it's raining cats here, so something to lock myself away with in the studio.... and practise those funky licks!! Have a great weekend!!😎🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹👍🎶🍻

What you have just shared is rock solid advice. God bless you and yours.

Just awesome to watch n enjoy let alone learn! Love the tone of these keys 🎹🙌🏻🙏🏻😎

Love that Vintage Vibe Matt! Absolutely magnanimous of you to be taking the time to do these videos and I completely love your comments and expressive gesturing to how to you play and feel music. Please don't stop doing these cause I probably speak for many that these are wonderful.

Thanks a lot again for these fantastic tutorials. As other people also mentioned the left hand chords makes these licks so complete. Some specific chords I am searching for. Love these funky chords!

Matt, you're so inspiring to hear and see. Please keep this kind of content coming. Could you share with us how you developed your musicianship and piano technique and any practical recommendations and insights that might be helpful to us mortals?

Ooh Yes Matt,lovin this funk adventure you have got going,LOVE IT.

Went to the comment to ask for some left hand work and found that it is filled with the same idea. You are so great at this. I’m learning and that is the fun part. Thanks

Counter rhythm playing is so important to have in the tool box. Great vid. Cheers.

Thank you Matt!! I love all your videos, thanks for sharing your knowledge with the world.

Thanks Matt, these tutorials really help me out by picking up some new tricks/techniques.

That left and right hand bouncing lick is so cool. I am trying it out on other lick I use, also in different keys. It is a whole world of ideas. Thanks so much for the inspiration. Amazing!

Please more tutorials! Awesome to see them coming from someone who plays that good. Everything you play is so inspiring, it make me instantly want to go try everything!!!!

Hey, we really appreciate these tutorials more than you can imagine. Keep them coming!

I was very impresed by your groove and clarity of sound (congrats!). Can you show or explain the chord progression you used with the licks?

Love these videos! Thanks a lot, Matt.

Just love it. Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Making the world a better place and inspiring millions!

I am in no way a keyboard player, I'm just here to listen to you play. Thanks man.

So grateful..! Thanks Matt for share your knowledge and skills

loving you videos matt! very useful tips + very good principles of teaching and as if that wasn't enough it gets presented as beautiful funk licks. priceless work you're doing, big ups!

Matt same here I was 5 when I started playing piano. Made the mistake of not playing for a few years during my teens. Thankfully started playing again early twenties and haven't looked back since. Would love to get a career in music preferably singing.

So funky. Love it🤟🏼

Awesome and more awesome tutorial video. I'm more motivated to play after after watching these videos from you. Thanks for sharing!

Awesome! I just started learning the intro of Blow Your Mind on keys, that's one of my favorite tunes! Thanks!!

I appreciate you sharing your insights so much, man.

These tutorials are excellent Matt! I really appreciate you taking time out to teach and inspire us.

I love you matt , thank you for sharing your expertise!

Reminded me of Bob James' theme from "Taxi", when slowed down, but a lot cooler and more modern Thanks Matt for the great tutorials. There are not enough funk keyboard instructional vids out there, let alone taught by one of my favorite group's keyboard player. Awesome!

Thanks Matt!!! great!!!!its great to have a real great musician givin us all this!

What an amazing video! Finally some lessons on Funk who really knows his stuff! Please continue this series! I'd also be interested in the writing of some funky chord progressions and your take on turning them into a groove! Amazing.

Yay! finally found a channel for keyboardists that feels like Nashville session man Tom Bukovac's channel for guitarist! Thanks Matt!

Wonderful tutorial Matt, thank you again! That Vintage Vibe Rhodes just knocks it out of the park. I'd love to hear more of it; you're doing exactly what I'd like to learn.

I REALLY appreciate this!! Thank you

I'm a long time jazz enthusiast (Miles Davis, Erroll Garner, Ahmad Jamal etc) and listened to your music since I was in high school and now taking up piano in my 30s again, just for a bit of fun, time to get some keyboards as well! Thanks! Andrew.
