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

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

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

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?

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.

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

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

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.

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.

”...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.

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!

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!!😎🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹👍🎶🍻

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.

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!

Absolutely crazy hands. Currently writing funk tune for the band. Not sure our piano guy can pull this off. Brilliant.

The Deluxe sounds amazing

Hey Matt I'd love to see a tutorial on Jazz/Funk/NeoSoul chord Progressions!

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?

Last lick is almost "Cissy Strut". And I've always loved the "Blow Your Mind" intro. Thank you sir!

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

You drop the deepest, most directly helpful stuff. Thanks!

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!

I could watch and listen to this all day 👍🏻

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?

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

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

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

This has to be the greatest music channel.

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

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!!!!

This was super inspiring! You're an amazing player man. Thanks for sharing your wisdom with us ✌️

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!

You've got a Vintage VIBE!!!! I am a big fan of that channel. So cool to see one featured in vid like this.

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!

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

That Vintage Vibe sounds and looks amazing! 😃👍

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.

Matt, thanks for create this channel. I’m a Jamiroquai fan. You’re a great keyboardist. One of the most greats. From Argentina, my respect.

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.

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

So glad I found your videos. Very practical and helpful. Thanks Matt.

What a useful and inspiring lesson! Thanks so much Matt!

Really appreciate you taking the time to put this together for us. Thanks man!

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

Love these videos! Thanks a lot, Matt.

Thanks so much Matt!! KZfaq channels for gigging keyboardists are tough to find. I'm going to try to use some of these in my solos! Your style and instructional technique are fantastic. Please keep the content coming!! Greatly appreciated!

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!!!

What a surprise, a tutorial from a professional fellow! Many thanks from Brazil!

Thank you for all the sweet riffs. You're a great teacher.

hey thank you so much for all your videos? i appreciate this so much!

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

I appreciate you sharing your insights so much, man.

Wonderful video, thanks as always for sharing your thoughts, feelings, and musicianship! Love your channel!

Just found your awesome video this morning! Looking forward to more. Subscribed. Pairs really well with my morning coffee btw. Thank you.

Awesome licks! I hope we get to hear more!

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

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 for your superb videos, love learning from you.

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

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

Thanks for the video! God bless you and I wish you a wonderful upcoming year 2021!

Great stuff Matt, keep 'em coming!

Loving this! Would love to see even more of this!

Hey Matt thank you for uploading this, I really appreciate you doing this stuff! Big ups from Latin Merica, peace out! : )

Love it! Now you’re top of my list!✨

Love your videos, I always end up learning something

Stumbled on this video and decided to subscribe. Great tone on that piano. Thanks

Iv watched a few but thIs one got you another subscriber! Thanks for the knowledge.

Matt, thanks for these tips! I've been looking for a long time for this sound path. That sounds wonderful!

Your tutorials are great! Very interesting to watch

Thank you Matt. You are a gentleman and a scholar

Great licks! LOVED this lesson. We need more like this on KZfaq - the great ones are hard to find. I'd love for more just videos like this, and how to construct a solo from beginning to end would be awesome too. Maybe come up with a 16-bar solo and teach us the whole thing? ;)

Awesome! I was always try and learn licks in every key, finding them by ear too not reading. Since I started doing that I find licks come into my soloing much more naturally. That piano sounds gorgeous btw.

Thanks so much for sharing your licks!

Thank you for this clear lesson! 👍🏻

Hey matt, I’m so happy to discovered your channel, this video it’s so good because I really wanted to learn more funk licks as a beginner saxophonist. I’m so excited to watch your videos and practice everything’s no that you are sharing. Regards and blessings from Germany 👋 🎷

Great tips and killer chops! Sweet looking electric piano . . .so shiny!💥💥💥. I think I would get one in cobalt blue!

Amazing as always, keep the funk coming!

So funky. Love it🤟🏼

This is really wonderful! I would LOVE a video demoing some of the bass lines you're playing in your left hand! Or even just a tutorial fixated on left hand techniques!

As a big Jamiroquai fan, I really like what you offer us! I practice every day and I hope you will do more videos like this! Cheers from Belgium !

Amazing stuff brother ..... ! Loving the vids - Keep it up !

* thank YOU * AWESOME!!! please keep these coming.

So helpful. THANK YOU for posting your videos. :)

Couldn't help but start humming the rest of Blow Your Mind.

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.

Just awesome , thanks for the masterclass ! 😍

Fantastic grooves. Thanks a lot for the tutorial. Liked and subbed. Greetz from France.

thanks a lot for the time you take to make these videos and for your empathy. when i was a teenager i would never have thought that one day Jamiroquai keyboardist will give keyboards lesson! It would be even more great if you could had some tips for the left hand or the left hand chords that match the licks. Thank you so much , your videos are very refreshing and interesting. Philippe from France

I love this video! Thanks so much for sharing! :)

thanks a lot , all your videos are very helpful to be a better keyboard player , i like a lot this style of music

Just loving these videos, thank you so much for doing them. Please, please do one on your left hand approach and how to build that up. Thank you :-)
