  • "I am terrified to solo!" Sound familiar? So many of us are so afraid to solo that we avoid it entirely. But! When you break it down into a few manageable steps the process becomes so much less intimidating and actually seems achievable (and fun)! That's what this lesson is all about, showing you the step-by-step approach to soloing so you can express yourself on the piano whenever and wherever with confidence.
    BONUS - Not only will this video break down precisely what you need to know to approach a solo, but it will also allow you to improvise on the piano easily! These two concepts are intrinsically linked so as you learn one you are learning the other at the same time.

    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.

      I started researching improvisation about 5 years ago because I just wanted to play without sheet music. I thought people who improvised had magical talent I didn't possess. What I've learned is great improvisation happens in the practice room. Many stories of the great improvisers tell they spent several years practicing hours each day developing their improvisation skills.

  • @AlexG-bc7ji
    @AlexG-bc7ji Před 2 lety +1

    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.

    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?

  • @robertmayhew98
    @robertmayhew98 Před 2 lety

    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.🤗

    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.

    What’s the difference between soloing and improvising ?

    • @musicman8938
      @musicman8938 Před 2 lety +1

      Soloing is based on a particular pattern according to the scale you use. Soloing can be planned before hand Improvising is a freestyle thing. It's spontaneous and right on the spot. Improvisations can be solos too. You can do both at the same time.
