In this video, I give you a 6-step system to follow which will guide you into the world of improvisation. It's so easy to get overwhelmed with the amount of information out there, so my goal with this video is to simplify it all and give you a roadmap which you can follow.
We start by learning a chord progression with voicings in the left hand. We then look at various different things such as the minor blues scale, chord tones, modes and a few other things.
We put it all together in a structured format. This video is meant for you to return to and use as a roadmap, rather than follow along in realtime.
This video is also a summary of one of my courses within the PianoPig Academy. So, if you would like to see more on this - have a think about becoming a member!

That example was 🔥
That opening riff was simple, but the same kind of simple when you start to optimize their details in any art by cutting down the fluff and unnecessary stuff to have exactly what you want to be there, nothing more, nothing less, and it was very smooth!I loved that beat.
You make the best piano lessons on the internet. Respect bro!
Thanks man! Much appreciated 😀🙏
Appreciate Video clip! Apologies for chiming in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you thought about - Riddleagan Smart Hands Remedy (search on google)? It is a good exclusive product for learning piano fast minus the normal expense. Ive heard some super things about it and my old buddy Taylor at very last got excellent success with it.
Beautiful! Your improvisation videos are my favorites! They're full of notions and ideas... by the way it's great how diminished arpeggio works on the dominant... wow!
Thanks a lot!
Dude, you're the best!
Thanks man! Much appreciated 😀
@@Piano_Pig nicely done
The first time I watched this I had no idea in mind but on improvising out of nowhere without an even decent amount of mode knowledge. But now that I know the modes on each scales, I understand this lesson now and it help me broaden again my horizon in jazz playing. Thank you.
This is supremely useful. I've been playing since I was a kid and I still find this so helpful. Thanks!
Thanks, good show! Did you learn at University? What are your musical influences?
Excellent tutorial!!! Thanks so much!!!
I SMASHED that Like button.
Easy.
Simon is the BEST.
This was an awesome video and saved it to come back to tonight. I had a big cringe, though, when he said smash that like button. I hope that trend has fizzled out. I haven't heard it in awhile.
Simon u r the best teacher hands down. After taking lessons on &off 4 six years ,I have learned so much from you in about one year .your the best. Tom Burkhardt

Oh my. This is the best piano video I have seen. Literally trying these 6 steps out for myself was so much fun.
Sir , you are a God Send to a lot of amateur and budding musicians. Keep up this good work. God Bless You .
Thank you so much bro! This lesson is so fun! Please make another video like this one with left hand chord progressions and scales 🙏🏼

Thank you so much..
I could listen to him play all day
Genius!
This is a very good tutorial. Cheers.
It's my pleasure!
Great stuff! Fingering the blues scale seems fairly open to interpretation. I seem to be gravitating to a variety of different fingerings depending somewhat on whether I am staying within an octave and/or moving up and down across multiple octaves.
Does it really matters as long as you get the sound out of the piano?
If it does matter, perhaps some ideas on what to try to avoid in your fingering.
Spectacular!!!
Thanks for the great video!
Is there a follow up to this video on how to have distinct sections like intros, or bridges in an improvisation piece?
Or should one follow the regular chord progression conventions for songwriting and improvise a melody on top for each section?
I love yr progressions buddy blimin "awsome as Im only a beginner beaudy bro "
Thank you Mr. Pig!
Thank.
grazie amico
Muy buenos contenidos!...😎
no longer would i ever taking lessons again irl thank youu
Your are the man
Dang, this is an excellent tutorial
This has blown my mind. Are you effectively doing a key change with every chord change? Because with your right hand you’re playing notes in different keys with each chord change. Not familiar with blues music but I’ve always thought of improvisation as being in a single key, and all the chords and right hand melody fit in with that single key.
I was wondering how or where I can start to learn how to play with hip hop or RnB. I do ot know a thing about piano but it looks so cool when you explain with the visual and the drums in the background. I would like to learn to do that.
Good stuff man
Thanks! 🙏
I pay respect to your traching!
Thanks!
Great lesson ! If you want to progress to bridge in song, where would play on Keys and is Circle of Fifths a good tool to use ?
