      Ha, yup. I have a really intense in-real-life instructor and I just sit at the piano and laugh the whole time - after about 10 lessons he just figured out "he may be assuming too much..."
      If I happen to get lucky getting something right on the first try, that does not mean I have any clue to what I am really doing at this point, too funny.

      @@Hedonkeviik Well, he was a very traditional piano instructor and I'd be lying if I said I didn't use covid separation to end lessons from him and get a more contemporary instructor from Atlanta over Zoom. The first instructor was walking methodically through an Alfred's book. It had its place but the second instructor was more about sound shaping, chords, getting hands independence.

    I return to this video from time to time, whenever I need to feel good, because that’s what blues does to a soul. These have been hard times for just about everyone in the world. I especially appreciate this lesson now more than ever. Thanks again for sharing, Jordan, you are a talented musician and teacher. It seems you are no longer with Pianote. I wish you well wherever you are.

    I know a lesson is really good when I can’t wait to put my hand on a keyboard!
    And that last bit you said about being in smoky rooms is so true. These simple lessons can set off a world of creativity. I remember watching guitar lessons on CZcams before I even had my own guitar. That was 2006 and by 2020, music has taken me all over the world and I’m just getting started. I hope this inspires a generation of blues pianists.

    However this video showed me how those two things feels. This literally shows the composition of music and how much work it requires. It shows too how valuable musicians are and how difficult the whole career is. There are gifted people like Lang Lang and other top musicians showing their talent. Now I know why they are so valuable.
    THIS IS THE VIDEO that shows everybody how music is build. Videos like this goes throughout the nitty gritty details of music. This is SERVICE. Your channel serves music.

    These people are great. I've been playing for 33 years and a lot of stuff like this, I had to teach myself because my teachers were horrible back in the day, so all new and learning pianists (I'm still learning today) need to watch this because THIS is the start of where playing piano can be fun!!
    After teaching myself this about 25 years ago, I can't begin to tell you how many endless jam sessions starting with just this pattern (usually in C or G depending on what key harmonica some of the other musicians had on them at the time.)
    That being said, I haven't gone down this path in a while and I am gonna bust out a 12 bar pattern tomorrow for my kids and see if they get grooving!

    I'm not a piano player. I'm a guitar player who has been playing the Blues for over 40 years. I have a keyboard at home. I can suss out the chords. What's difficult for me is maintaining a solid groove with my left hand while riffing on my right hand. It helps to think of a shuffle as swung 8ths, essentially a triplet feel. This makes right hand triplets fall in place. It's still tricky. Piano is fun! This lesson taught me a lot. Not only about piano, but about what I had been doing on guitar for decades without realizing why. Thanks.

Having such a wonderful time trying different piano styles! The problem is I need more keys! I followed this tutorial either one handed or stuffed into two adjacent octaves haha. Great video though, can't wait until I can buy a bigger keyboard and I'll certainly come back here when I do.

It's also when you can start adding those little frills and runs he does at the end, you've got a good base to start with. Trying to add stuff like that is just counterproductive until you get the basics down; but then the fun begins!
