Bill you’re a teacher’s teacher. You’re the only instructor one needs. Thank you.

great video!

Wow! the greatest teacher of them all 👏👏👏

Prince purple rain

The part about having the unique learned ability of grit as an adult actually made me tear up and feel powerful. Having recently turned 24, you reminded me of how much I've progressed and i am grateful to you!

Bill, I turned chords 1, 3, and 5 into 7ths also, to get some very interesting color added to the progression, which also seemed to open up a few more right hand keys to have a play with. Like both.

Really glad I’ve found this. Purchased a keyboard a year ago, set it up and it’s been collecting dust ever since. Learning something new as an adult is always hard. Looking forward to this journey with you

Hope you are well Bill! You have helped me tremendously along my journey.

Hi

Oh my goodness, what a wonderful tutorial!!!!! Thank-you and I am very excited about tackling it and so happy to have discovered your excellent channel!!

Came to this blues series after working through Bill's excellent beginner's series.Even his very early material has that concise, information packed approach. This sometimes requires that you use the youtube gear icon to slow a presentation and absorb all the information but still the best if you like structure and direction in your learning style.

Seems "everyone" is doing this now, or am I wrong?

I know these videos are old, but thank you so much for making content like this. You are improving the world and I appreciate this so much. I will sub to your patron sometime soon because I really appreciate everything you've done for me musically, I am done with the Intermediate series now and moving on to more advanced pieces, and I would feel terrible not to give back. I am 16 years old and play Alto Sax in the high school band and this winter became interested in learning piano and your tutorials have been absolutely amazing for helping me do so.

Very clearly explained - thank you

I have aways wanted to play the piano, now l am 70 years old and just starting

I don't know what the black keys are do, because i am too afraid to press black key and it says "bruh", that's a joke.

I got back from vacation last Saturday and even though I was exhausted after travel and unpacking, I did find time to work on this. After a week, I’m enjoying my progress. I mostly just use Bb, Eb, and high Bb in my right hand and just started experimenting with the G today. When my fingers get confused, I just take a time out and play a few repetitions in the left hand.

l got the F7sus4 for the 2nd combination on my synthizer. (not theFm7).😢 And the Eflat sounds breathtakingly beautiful playing it separately. Anyway, how long do l have to make my neighbours suffer?

Brilliant Idea!

the Eb and Ab are the chromatic mediant chords or have I miss understood the Chromatic mediants

Thank you for the lesson😊

Love the video!!! Keep up the great work!

As always Bill is the real deal. Thanks so much 🙏

What is the countermelody?

I can't open the link to download the begginer's pdfs, can someone email them to me or give me another link that works?

Wow its so god improv thanks very much👏🙏

Easy, only takes me a year

Well here we go purchased a decent keyboard with weighted keys. No idea how to use it lol but I always loved piano music my goal is to learn syml I wanted to leave.. Love that song. I'll be watching all these tutorials thank you sir for uploading these

This video is incredibly insightful, it has tied many concepts together for me. Thank you.

nice

its really great you made these course free

Lesson 1 done, I'm going to be very committed to this.

5:54 Yes, I want to sound cool on the piano, Bill! There's a difference between videos which claim to help beginners (but only include a basic demo) and then there are videos which really pinpoint the problems of beginner pianists, help them address and overcome the problem AND teach and motivate them how to improve and eventually overcome this problem. Bill's videos are consistently the latter, and I really appreciate how he keeps his audience "students" in mind and their goal of progressing in their musical journeys❤ (Yes, yes, ah... that's it I have sticky finger syndrome!) Thanks Bill, keep up the awesome work (love your flat cap and camera work also)😊😊😊

Thanks, Bill. This looks like a great tutorial. I shall strive to master each lesson before moving to the next. I find the A and B keys are giving me more trouble than the others. Is this common? I know them, but at times I must think a blink. I think what I have been doing incorrectly over my wasted years off and on (mostly off) of trying to teach myself from books is using the C and G as references to figure out which is A and which is B rather than learning them properly.

Thank you for the lessons! I just started on my musical journey. I am able to understand well because of you. :) One doubt, can I apply the same on a digital keyboard? Thank you once again <3

I cant believe im just now learning how to read sheet music, and not only that im excited about it! Thank you kind sir

This is what I needed to help advance. Thx Bill!

Sounds like come sail away by journey I think

I've always wanted to learn how to play the piano/keyboard. You must be a great teacher because I couldn't be more excited to continue this series of tutorials and slowly integrate the keyboard into my life. Sincerely, thank you so much! This is awesome!

Where is the link to pdf

Excellent presentation, thank you. Great information and demo at a sensible pace.

Hi Bill ! I wonder if there is anyone with my problem ? Learn right hand, learn left hand..........then hands together. All is fine until I use the pedal!!!! Everything goes beserk ! Your kind advice please.

You explain things so well. I’m very interested in this type of content ❤

Thank you, Bill. Brilliant lesson, learnt a lot, you're too cool. Thank you so much 💙

Never realised how much I relied and appreciated the PDFs normally attached. Mine are all covered in scribbles and hints.

This is awesome

This channel is where my piano playing lessons started. You are a great teacher Bill!! 👍

You obviously had fun doing this video - lots of fun, great content. Theory wise I see the chord progression has a nice ascending bass line that builds to the 4 chord before looping. The Fm7 pulls in the Eb note to bridge nicely from the Eb chord and then onto the Eb/G chord. And finally the Eb chord notes in the right hand focus on 3 of the notes from the pentatonic scale so it should sound good no matter what you hit. (The notes F and C should work nicely as well.) At least that’s my amateur analysis.

Well done ❤
