Wonderful lesson. One other thought: add ‘pauses’ occasionally in solo; say, for 2 or 3 beats (or even longer). It gives the soloist a chance to ‘breathe’ and for the listener, it is a refreshing break from unending eighth and quarter notes.

Lisa: I don't know how to solo. Also Lisa: Plays a solo like a pro 💜💜 So inspirational, thank you ❤️❤️

I am expected to solo at church during the prayer but I am always terrified! Thank you for this!

I love sitting down to my keyboard and seeing what musical patterns the universe has in store for me. You both are so good at teaching and inspiring. ✨

Same for me the pianote KZfaq channel is one of the best piano tutorials u can take online 👍

Lisa. It's so cute watching you think you don't know what you're doing. I wish I couldn't solo the way you think you can't solo.😄

I'm more terrified on playing with a band because the noise of the other instruments makes me not be able to think about what note should i hit next, and etc.

I was wondering what notes work together for so long. You guys are ahead of the game! I really appreciate you guys!!! Thank you! 😊😊😁😁

You unlock the “magic” secrets of playing the piano with the best smile.

That was cool !!! ... I just call it "Creative Noodling"...and I keep at it until something "GELS".... then the problem is REMEMBERING IT later. Thank goodness for software, or recorders... Always great stuff, Pianote !!! Always fun. --- Doug ("Crossbow"), BMI, songwriter

I really love this teacher student dynamic. It gives you a chance to explain while you demonstrate

Hahahaha Lisa says “ out of body experience” too cute! Love it!

Awesome Sam and Lisa, Awesome Pianote!!! ❤️

Learning to play guitar made me realize how comparatively difficult the piano is to solo well on. I think it's because of how straightforward the piano is--no bends, no vibrato, no way to change the basic sound. Synths and organs aren't so bad, but good phrasing on piano is a real challenge--it's very barebones in a way that forces you to have really excellent fundamentals.

You guys are so awesome and enjoyable to watch and learn from. I am so glad I became a member on your website. I am learning and having so much fun! You guys are very motivational.

Oh & btw congratulations for Lisa Witt for being a piano teacher & vocal coach & singer songwriter & I’ll leave a link about my favorite singer songwriter John Newman about yyy he decided to make a song to express himself to his career!👍

I love piano...but Im now 31 y'old and just got myself a 61 kesy keyboard..now I am practising as a beginner at this time..It couldn't stop me,keep on playing whatever notes just to memorizes all the notes..today is my Day3,have fun with it..

Interesting approaching this from the point of view of an ex guitarist. My keyboard skills are rubbish but jamming to a chord progression on keys I find reasonably easy. I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that keyboard players are usually good music readers while guitarists are notoriously bad at reading music and have to learn to play listening to the notes to make sure they work.

'Love u guys! You're part of my daily streaming routine. 💕

Really great lesson, you make the learning appearance so easy that there is no tension for beginners.

Nice! Love seeing you guys work out! My teacher always told me to start with a small motif or riff and work off of it to start! Then you have to relax and run a track and go....:)

Hi Sam and Lisa, thank you for a very good tute. I am very much a beginner when it comes to soloing. What I have found to be of a huge help is to have a good strong rhythm /and beat. Eg bass and cymbal. Many digital keyboards have a built in rhythm function with rock or jazz which help lead one to feeling their way into soloing. ‘Irealpro’ which is downloadable has rhythm functions also. Listen to other pianists on. Eg pieces like ‘Autumn Leaves and ‘So What’. As Sam says know the key of the piece that you are practicing and be familiar with the major and minor scales. There are lots of tutorials that teach licks. Many are available to free download.🤗

Much needed spirit therapy. Thank you!

Wooooow! What a wonderful video, it's full of so much knowledge. Team Pianote, you people are doing a commendable job!

This was such an awesome video! So great to see you both having fun while learning too. I want to be able to do this! Could you create another video with patterns and rhythms for different moods?

Wow...awesome....👌👏👏😍👍👍💛

What a fun to learn piano with you guys 🤣

It is soooo fun to just watch this! How wonderful it would be to actually play it!?!!!

Thank you guys

Love you guys 🤗💗

If Lisa can play her first piano solo in front of the entire internet, I can practice this in front of my mother. I don't even have a super strict or perfectionist mother, so I really don't know what I'm afraid of. XD

Was only doing 3 space. Left and right.

Super ❤️❤️👍👍

Fabulous 👏👏👏

I am not coordinated or smart enough to do this. You are good!!!

She a very good actor.

I wish I could snap my fingers like Sam 😄 so strong and loud 👌🏼

Pianote, A sincere request I would you to make a video on Canon in D I have been trying for months but haven’t mastered it, in addition to it I also get only weekends for the lessons...... PLEASE

All notes sound good together in the right context. Lest we play boring music.

I love all ur videos

This was super helpful, thank you! I'm trying to get away from hammering chords on the piano while singing to it, but find it very hard to vary rythm, other than the simple every or every other 4/4 tact. Any tips on improving on this topic?

I’ve been playing the sax for almost 6 years which isn’t that much but idk and I started to really like the piano and wondering which one I should get. I’ve been doing research but I can’t really tell which one I should buy

Are there any books on right hand improv patterns? Not just jazz riffs! That's all I can find when I search.

Great tutorial! Would like to download the backing track, but it throws a XML error page :/

Do you do requests? Theres a song i would like to learn but no tutorials for it

Backing track link is invalid.

What’s the difference between soloing and improvising ?

Good acting lisa

wow its extraordinary performance 💜💜💜 so amazing... genial peace for me really...🤍🤍🤍 love from a Pakistani ❤️🇵🇰

Can you play lonely Billie Eilish pls🥺❤️

I do not know what happened. I played like a champ last night. All mine!++

Lisa “I’m scared to solo”… then crushes the second solo pattern lol

Also hug your headphones :-)

Your tutorials are the best!!! And soooo motivating , can u pls make a tutorial on how to play gurenge by lisa , it's the demon slayer opening , it's an anime!nn

Hey guys the PDF chord chart link doesn't work. I get an error message. Thanks for all you do!

Oscar Peterson always sang when he played.

Lost couple weeks of practice.

Sorry 3 fingers one space in-between

fun fact Even I am terrified to solo...

First I wanna say the information is great, but it still feels like an episode of Sesame Street to be honest

I am a guitar player and I can't do anything but solo on the piano...

Too complicated.all love

We call ot sa ga ra ma pa da ni sa ..pattern

🌹🧡🧡👼🏻😘
