About halfway through the video, he's already fully covered all the licks from Riders, the key and the dorian mode, the hand shapes used, the minor pentatonic vs blues scale, approaches to use when soloing, and there's still 22 left minutes to go! He certainly seems like a powerhouse in teaching piano. Far beyond just the notes, this is the approach to theory that I've been looking for.

Mike, I've been playing Riders On The Storm on piano since it was first released. NEVER have I seen such an absolutely perfect breakdown of Ray Manzarek's skills presented and taught - YOU ARE AMAZING! As someone who strives for playing perfection as in the recorded song...I love how through the Dorian scales, blues scales, fifths, rhythms, and everything you present - that I can have more confidence and knowledge to make Riders 'my own' so to speak - yet always have the recorded version permanently ingrained in brain-to-fingers! :-) This is absolutely phenomenal - you're the best! Thank you!!

You should do Tutorials on how to make Keyboard/Piano Tutorials. modest relaxed overall pace, small chunks to digest, well balanced sound, camera focus and piano roll placement, orientation and alignment. Excellent. Way to many content creators fail to get this right. which is a shame. and it tilts the hell out of me - which is why i dont look for tutorials anymore.

That was a pretty stunning exposition of this awesome song. I'm 67 now so LA Woman was a big album for us back in the day but funnily enough the twenty-something couple next door were blasting this song out the kitchen window just a couple of weeks back. Clearly a piece of music like this never dies. This exposition of the theory behind it's construction explains why.

Ok so after getting the basics down I finally came back to this….. WOW this lesson is sooooo good, all the scales and theory to really understand what ray was doing, I finally understand modes from 1 lesson and I’ve played guitar for years n years I even got my son doing the bass part while I did the solo! So much fun Please do the same on some other Doors songs if you ever get the time. Thank you so much for this lesson 🙏

Okay, I recognize what is. This is a modern music theory lesson ... And it looks like a pretty good one from what I've seen so far. I'm book marking it for now because I was looking for to upgrade the guitar version I already play.. (Guitar is my first instrument.) I working on learning piano for my next instrument so I will be watching this video a lot on the laptop I have next to my piano.

More more more more more! Subscribed. For someone classically trained, reading about theory and improvisation, to hear all these lessons in one go??!! Subscribed. Thank you -- hungry for more!! One thing that's amazing to me is how DIFFERENT the C major chord sounds in this mode on the rare occasions in which its played

This is an excellent instructional presentation that covers so many important aspects of comping and soloing while using a great song as the primary example. I'm actually a guitar player but I learned a lot! Thanks

That's funny about Jerry Scheff having difficulty with that line because he's an amazing player. It's really not that complicated; it's just not a typical bass guitar line. Great video btw. I'm a long time bassist who's been learning keyboards lately. Of all the many, many videos I've watched, this is one of the better ones I've seen. It really helped me to transfer some of the knowledge I already have to the keyboards and taught me a few new concepts as well. Good job!

Only 7:30 minutes in and I can already tell that I'll be spending a lot of time parsing through the details in this video. This is a master class in how to teach. Far beyond the usual rote learning. Bookmarked, subscribed. liked....

Wow! One of my favorite songs of all time. Fantastic presentation, the best that I can recall. It’s on my short list of songs for Christmas for our family gathering. Squirming like a toad ought to get their attention. Many thanks.
