The combination of your level of prowess and your willingness to teach well and clearly is a rare thing. Generally people would charge an arm and a leg to share this type of expertise, but you simply make the world better by sharing what you know for free. That's the mark of a good heart. Thanks for doing what you do.

Time spent watching a Matt Johnson video is always time well spent. And time, as we know, is a precious asset.

I love how you use as little 'theory language' as possible and more of 'show and tell' approach to explain yourself absolutely killing it on the keys. No long explanations, no mind bending theories, just simple grooves and rythms. On top of that a lot to learn from and improve. May God continue to bless you with growth and knowledge ❤

Hitting complete chords with the left hand while soloing? Didn’t know that is even possible! Multitracking was especially invented for me you know! 😂

This channel is somehow still so underrated it's ridiculous

Your tutorials are truly unparalleled. So practical and exactly what a player like me looks for. It’s easy to find loads of theory lessons but most of it is in a jazz context and it’s hard to find good advice on how to actually groove in a non jazz setting and your tips are always spot on

Dude is a vibe machine

Master classes from a legit world-class musician. I'm gobsmacked. And your enthusiasm is utterly infectious. Cheers

Matt. Thank you. Wonderful stuff. All I need now is the dedication and another 70 years. But I'm going to try!

Much love from italy my legend! ❤

I appreciate the way you encourage your Audience, Matt (at 5:36 and later on), both for the specific ideas you're sharing and for playing Keys in general. Thank You!

Thank you for this awesome video! For someone who is not a musician like me, this is the best way to spend the evening after work. Forget about watching tv or any other kind of passive consumption, do something that is a hell lot of fun to do instead, and in the meanwhile develop a skill that remains for a lifetime.

Matt you made my day….Being a complete beginner into keys, this is very valuable teaching to me. I know that there is a lot of practising waiting for me….but this is somehow a base that i can resonate with very well… thx for sharing❤

Thanks for sharing your knowledge 🙏

You really are a phenomenal player ❤️🎹❤️ I love these videos

Another incredible well done lesson from Matt Johnson. Thank you so much! 👍

Matt Johnson and Mike Lindup are among the most important keyboard players in modern music , their bands Jamiroquai and Level 42 have recorded some of the best british (and not british)funk (disco-jazz-soul-pop)songs of all times, their musicianship is stellar .....these Musicians makes world a better place to live.

Awesome thanks Matt!

Thanks for posting things like this, Matt. Awesome!

Absolute magic again. I feel this funk stuff... Thanks again!

So cool. I’ve always loved your work man. Thanks for the tutorial.

Love these lessons. Always inspires and motivates me to improve. Thank you!

Such a dude. Thanks Matt.

Nice one Matt. Will try some of this for sure. Great vid. J

I would love to see more tutorials like this!! I understand what you mean... 🥰 I can hardly believe it!!! Matt Johnson - King of Keys ❤

THRUST! YES! 💯 Cheers for that.

Thank you for the lesson, this is wisdom and great practice material you've dropped on us here.

Bringing that smokey heat. Thank you for taking the time to teach us. 😊

Thanks Matt for showing the music in such a practical way.

The chord progression is so beautiful🎵🌹💐🌹🎹👍👏👏👏👏👏

Inspiring tutorial Matt. Thank you. You make it look effortless and enjoyable.

Some chords I would never think of to play! I love your playing, even though jazz is not my cup of tea.

Matt…Wonderful stuff mate! Thanks for the time and help. Lovely little gems here 🎹😊

Beautiful and aspirational. I need to practice. Thanks always, especially for the left hand lessons

Thank you! 🙏🏼

Love this, very informative! Love the way left and right work together and especially love the left hand chords!

Wonderful, I love so much generosity. Thank you so much Matt for sharing these resources so clearly and inspiringly. Greetings from Chile.

This is cool as, and with consistent practice take me to the next level, thankyou sensei ❤

Merci a vous pour tous vos conseils,ça m'aide beaucoup ❤

My guy this was so smooth and instructive, thanks for blessing us.

Your video really helps me to hear how to improve my left hand !

It's an absolute pleasure watching your playing, and thanks for all the insights. Keep up the awesome work man!

Thank you so much 🙏🏾

thanks Matt - ❤🎹

I'm not a keyboard player but I'm in love for your stuff! Can't wait to hear what you've been cooking with Jamiroquai for the next album and about your solo stuff as well!!

Thank you!

brilliant, thank you!

I love your videos! That call and response trick is so obvious once you think about it!! I’ll be practicing it and coming back to this video for sure!

Your genuine enthusiasm for music is really infectious and had me smiling and wanting to practice more. Thank you!

Man, I love your instructional content but would be just perfectly content hearing you jam indefinitely. Love it man, thank you!

whatta beauty this chord progressions (and everything else of course))). when you begin to do it instinctively, that's when the magic happens. thanks for video!

The great Matt Johnson ladies and gentlemen 😮😮😮😮

Thanks for the video man!! ❤❤👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️👏👏👏😎😎🥂

Nice tutorial, jazz is not really my thing so its always interesting to be reminded of this approach to harmony.

Your tutorials are some of my favourite. I love the honesty about hours put in with some very incremental gains. Thanks Matt!

Thank-you :)

Very cool Matt It’s important to play the right thing with the left hand so you don’t interfere with the bass player Love your videos Matt

He's backk 🔥

I thought you sounded like Herbie then you mentioned him. Very informative video. The language you use to describe your solos is so precise.

Gold.

bravo !!

I’m not joking I play very little but these videos make me understand chords more and also how the chords move from it’s so so cool Matt!! Truly understanding chordal movement and more!!! Love this mate!!! Makes it a pleasure for me to be a part of your project!!😊❤

Thanks for this. Some really good tips here. Way above my skill level (at the moment!), but some good stuff to aim at.

I love how you stick to the scale with your right hand so that we can focus on the voicings of the left hand. With scalechanges you would come across even more advanced but i wouldn't get what you are saying at all. I will groove on this pedalthing in cm! Nice things to try out!!

Thank you Matt!!! Love your tutorials- sending pm w request along these lines

great lesson keeping it real! I keep forgetting you are a freaking rock star as well !!!

Great video buddy. I have been self learning for 3 year's. Started due to the pandemic. And and head illness. Wanted to keep my cognitive abilities up due to having brain fog with memory problems. I found everything hard. Had a ns bang on the head a year later and for some weird reason, everything was easy. 2 years later I have wrote 80 plus song's. Learned manyb of my song's. " I can't make u love me " Jamie foxx ", heaven " to name a a few. I Nedd to learn more left handed stuff. Not due to myself finding it difficult. Just I need to take it to next level. Enjoyed your video very well. Great stuff 👌

thanks man

I have understood in recent y that trying to syncopate rhytmically w left hand def lifts the performance! But i tend to forget it sometimes, concentrating on the right hand! Lol Thanks for this! Levi

My weak left hand thanks you for these tips, Matt!

When Mat says, play something simple over the top like this, and then just kills it … 😂 Wicked vibes ❤

I’ve always wanted to do those 16th chord left hand stabs like Brian Auger, a bit similar I guess to the herbie style you mention, I need to take a year off work and woodshed this stuff!

I need to hear this about twice a week 👏😆 5:50

Matt honestly I envy your beautiful fender rhodes and minimoog. I mean it in a good way, you are a fantastic player 👍

This time i am not late to watch your great tutorial. Funny : yesterday just practiced again your “” 5 hot licks to sound clever “” video after a long pause in my Matt Johnson licks and today just get another great tutorial. May i ask u if you could make some midifiles compilation of the little songs you always play in the intro of all your tutorial? They are always great to listen and play . Anyway still the best of the best Utube channel ( with the one from Anthony Marinelli , more focused on sound design ) . Thanks a lot for your time , patience, and kindness. Cheers from France , philippe

All these statements about Matt are 100 percent true. And more.

Thanks for being.

Man, I get such a buzz watching your vids. You make me actually start believing I could play a bit like that even though I know I’ll just end up getting frustrated and fading out… until your next vid comes along!

Thanks for "dumbing it down" a bit. I will definitely make use of all of these. And I totally agree, slowly, slowly catchy monkey. I wanna play like you, when (and if) I grow up 😉

Hey Matt, KZfaq has been hiding your videos bro. Love the content!

Daug7b9 is one of my fav chords ever lol

6:07 Moloko - Sing It Back

Oh dear.....great! Thank you. I'm naturally left-handed, but this is sometimes not a fortune.

❤

I have some adidas in the closet. Hoping if I wear it and take some of your advice I’ll shred. 🤙🏻

Good video for me. I am too quick to reach for the good old octave/7ths. They're usually what I need but I like a little seasoning in my left hand.

Great tips, I sometimes wonder if my left hand even knows how to play piano :)
