Abatho7 thank you very much how many names of song do you know like that is fabulous !!!! Amazing 🤩 !!!
Thank you!
So.. what are the “four types” of bass lines?.. Half-time, Quarters, Groove-based, Linear/Counterpoint?
Sir, you are a hero, thanks for the bookmarks
The way you casually give a non scripted lecture on top of your playing is like a Boss
I like the idea of trusting the process and just enjoying it until I find that promised land. Having fun brings us there.
Peter is a beast! not just as an accomplished renowned piano player but as well as an educator. Being able to analyze complex musical ideas and present it in elementary format for people like me. That's a different skill. Thanks Peter!
Peter - this hour of sharing your music knowledge so freely and with enthusiasm is life changing for novice/intermediate people like me. I plan to watch this several times. It's already over 17 million views. THANK YOU!
P.s. you just turned me on to THE METERS!!
Tuts Washington "the better your left hand is, the better your music is"
Please do more of this Peter. Amazing masterclass. rarely/never seen this level of handindependence used in improv. such freedom freedom of expression. thank you.
Thank you for your time! An amazing hour of lecture and instruction. I loved every minute!
Thank you Peter.
Your pace is perfect! Not too fast nor too slow. Great learning content.
One of these Open Studio materials which I will regularly go back to as I progress in my practice.
Happy New Year to you Sir.
Perfect. I used to play a sort of cut-down version of theses styles, and practiced a few hours a day on these tunes and quasi-exercises, but gradually less and less, and then about fifteen years ago I became somewhat piano phobic and switched to guitar instead. But now I'm getting back into it, and these sets of ideas are a great stimulus and inspiration to sit down at the keyboard. I love the way you think and play. The plain ol' boogie and blues pianists are useful in this context as well, e.g., James P. Johnson, Otis Spann. Plus I've been listening to great classical pianists - there are so many!
One of the better jazz pedagogues on youtube. Peter, you are one of a kind 🎉
Beautiful on the spot changes... thanks for all the great ideas. 🎵💜
Such an intelligent video from Peter. So concise on all aspects of baseline playing for any pianist or organist in fact
Incredible lesson. These are like gold. I keep coming back to this video
All the stuff you play, the examples, sound great, which lends great authority to what you say, and inspires me: I would be happy to play like you do, even the simplest stuff sounds great. I also like your distinction between what you play when you practise and what you play when performing. I think practise can naturally leak into performance, so when you practise you don't need to worry about how it will sound in performance. The way you play is very much in tune with how you present - natural, relaxed. Good job!
Getting my left hand going has been quite hard...basslines are the best way to get that independence...Happy holidays and happy practicing to everyone here.!
This is an excellent lesson on several levels. I found it on YT maybe two months ago. I'm still chipping away at it. Even after I eventually achieve hand independence, this lesson will be a keeper. Thanks for posting!
Thank you for sharing your amazing knowledge! It inspires me deeply.
This is such a good video.... superb pianist Peter Martin showing brilliant imaginative ideas....
Incredible video! This is helping so much in creating a sense of groove
Mind blowing… thank you Peter.
This lesson is brilliant and full of great ideas! Thanks for posting it.
This is great stuff. You guys are awesome!
I aspire: period. I want so badly to develop my bass line technique that I see it as a major aspect of my personal music. I'm only two years into piano (from drums) and I have all the motivation in the world. I'm all ears, Peter.
Amazing lesson thank you... best hands independance exercices ever!
Thanks for your amazing work 🙏
Thanks Peter. Really enjoyed this.
The PIANO ACCESS PASS is amazing people - hours and hours of quality quality lessons and instant inspiration *******highly recommended
God, what a player, what a teacher. This is absolute gold.
How did you know this is JUST what I've been needing?! Thanks so so much!
This is an area of deep concern for me. It's a wonderful guide. My late mentor, pianist Jessica Williams, was so bad- ass at her walking left hand bass that she could sound like several pianists simultaneously. Thanks, Peter.
Love this thank you!
Incredible course again
This is mind blowing. As a working bassist, jazz neophyte and novice, aspiring pianist this is GOLD. P.S. Thanks for forcing me to research “I can’t help it.” I didn’t realize Stevie had a hand in that tune.
Good stuff!
Such a pleasure to see you flying over that keyboard. So beautiful lines, rhythmic patterns and tremendous technique. After almost 30 years playing the guitar I started with the piano in this weird year and I found a role model :) Even if I am a few decades away from anything you are doing, the concepts and ideas and hints on how and what to practice are really helpful, even for a beginner. Thanks for sharing!!
Super lesson. Thx!
Awesome...really something...so beautiful explained...great essential stuff...thanks a lot...GREETINGS from PAMPLONA
Happy Holidays!🎄🔥🎄🔥🎄🎶🙏
Hi, I’m from the future and here to let you know you’re still a legend!
Great Stuff. Thanks
Greetings from Austria

Really great man I’m a bass player and when I was young trying to make a living playing I would get intimidated by a good piano players left hand I wasn’t getting it about the right hand combination and the separation I’m better at it know but what you just did have me a wealth of things to think about and. Practice thank you I’ll keep listening man and your really terrific thanks
Yeah, what he said.
Suoni stupendamente bene e sei un grande insegnante.
Thanx, Peter🌹🌹🌹
Happy Christmas from Aalborg Denmark
This is a nice video for the novice. I like the idea of switching from bass line to chords.
Such a damn fine sound.
That version of Chameleon you did is insane Peter. Can you do a full version of it?!
For walking bass lines (say, blues in F) the very best lines are found on old Jack McDuff (organ) records. Tuneful and melodic, surprising. I can do it and I did it by studying those records.
Two words....Rock Candy!!!
Hey there, was wondering if you'd mind naming a couple of the albums you're talking about? I'm just completely ignorant of McDuff. Cheers, Jeff
@@cyomara89 Sorry for the delayed response...actually any of his live recordings.
@@amotinyabongo5659 Hey no worries, Amoti. And many many thanks for the rec! Cheers, and happy New Years to you. Jeff
@@cyomara89 It must have been thirty years ago that I walked into a Cleveland bar and heard a McDuff style organist named Eddie Bacchus. It's a genre for which I have a deep affection, the organ trio format. I drummed for years with a Hammond B3 player and I had a ball!
Merci c’est un très bon vidéo
I appreciate you.
Muy buenooo!
Love your content. Thank you, Peter.
Best pianist ever
¡Gracias!
Martin ..👊awesome
That solo on Chameleon was insane
Very interesting idea...can you do a tutorial on how to move hand up and down they keys on piano.
Uhm......Howlong has this been going on?!? Thanks for the lessons.....I got stuck on my practice and couldn't figure out the next step on solo jazz ballads but now? I got this! Many thanks again!
Great video, thanks for sharing. I,m learning, i,m learning, i,m leeeeearning, but it goes ssssslooooooow.
You don’t a piano course buddy? You are a gifted man.
Thanks
as a sousaphone player who practices like a bassist, this video is immensely helpful! But it blows my mind how piano players just casually do both soloing and walking at once!
Glad you finally acknowledged the added ridiculousness of TALKING over all that... Sheesh!!! This topic always reminds me of Arlo Guthrie's Alice's Restaurant. I could play that cool swinging guitar groove pretty well, but talking and telling the story naturally over the top of it was always beyond me. It's a deep dive, and this lesson is inspiring, thanks!
Thank you my friend for your show! I’m a giftet multi- instumentalist: drums guitar piano! I love the things you Are plaging! If I was There I could jump on jump on drums or guitar and join you! Lately I’ve been working on Bill Evans Tony Benett: But Beautiful! The piano score is absolutely beautiful. Very difficult! So I’ve been working and struggling with my reading! I call him uncle Bill! Turnes on to me by The great Kent Hewitt! I just want to say I was pløying along with you on my Yamaha mot! I love your pløying and I’ve become a new fan! Even though this You Tube is so impersonal and we Will never meet! Thanks budde
Merry Christmas. This is great. but you forgot the link to a PDF showing the notes! LOL. ;) in F please).

Bags groove pery heaths solo 2 feel and walking bsds
H appy new year to you Peter Martin
great
Nice. Is there a lesson in your website? I'd like to buy.
Thank you. One thing that helped me was to transcribe to mr Paul chambers
What key are you in? Can you demonstrate a good bass line slowly as an exercise?
29:30 this is so groovy ^^
hot tip: walking bass feels great if you think of the length of each quarter note as a triplet.
Wondering whether hypnosis could contribute to get ✋ hands independence ? Specially for beginners ... wd love to play walking bass .... as former bass player ... is normal to be attracted to it ..
How use it for guitar??

"Sublimated in your thought process".......whew!
Stevie Wonder brotha? lol #greatcontent
I saw the Oscar image, and I thought we would get a lesson on the walking tenths that he used.
Which bossa tune is that?
Fotographia
Peter, I AM from the future. You have won an Oscar for your face, an Emmy for your hands, and a big ball of cannabis for your musicianship. We bow to your bust every day before practicing.
P.S. We also have a bust and giant portrait of Adam Maness for further worship and guidance. BTW, Coltrane says hello, In the future he's back as himself and there are twelve of his clones all around the world.
!!
I once heard it said, “The 2nd best piano player in the world was Oscar Peterson’s left hand. And the best was his right hand.”
Piano is very interesting is training the brain to listen to 2 melodies at the same time while hands motor neurones are acting independently : should get a brain biopsy / & scan images of pianist players compared with others human beings 🙂...👨🏾⚕️
Just swell.
Your vocal mic compared to your piano is off. Vocal mic too quiet. Then turn up to listen to that and when your piano comes on too loud.
Great presentation. Ill subscribe if you switch the perspective.How?.. Matter of fact I dont think the left hand and the right are not separate things. this is a lie I would tell a novice or a student to keep comig for Piano lessons. That independence should be a state of mind.
