    You deserve a way bigger audience..
    Your energy, enthusiasm and ability to translate the language of music as you teach has you in rarified atmosphere.
    ....In my humble opinion.

  • @TheDfrence
    @TheDfrence Před 5 lety +8

    This video is phenomenal. If people only knew how hard it is to actually teach this effectively. In a style like this where the chords are more for structure, those rhythmic elements are so essential to setting the groove or pocket. I’m amazed. What a great teacher!

  • @edzielinski
    @edzielinski Před 3 lety +4

    This is great Aimee. You break down the essential elements very lucidly, and then the close up of the hand and finger movements is super helpful. It's also a great sounding accessible musical choice for less experienced players.

  • @mcwulf25

  • @jeffteza682

  • @gilbarry3
    @gilbarry3 Před rokem +1

    I agree with Virgult. I just started playing this great song on my guitar and came across this on CZcams when searching for guitar tutorial. I like her relaxed teaching style and liked the way she demonstrated the funky rhythm using the beatbox mouth sounds. Love her funky piano playing

    I like your teaching style Aimee! As a drummer that always wanted to play piano, I never really understood how to play funk on piano but the way you just explained it in this video resonated with the drummer in me and made sense to me maybe for the first time. I never thought about it this way. Thanks for giving me a place to start. I enjoy your videos.

  • @tennerondackbassman5271

    This lesson is very clear and inspiring. I'm working on my piano skills, and this has been most helpful. Your presentation about breaking down the sixteenth notes gets to the heart of it. A teacher suggested that we are all playing a "foot drum", and accompanying ourselves on piano, bass, sax, etc. This concept has helped my commitment to playing time. Your emphasis on feeling the time, and putting the time first is spot on. Thank you!

    • @AimeeNolte
