Very useful – thanks!
Thank you tor the great video!!
of course the transpose key is another option 😉
Thanks, great tutorial – as usual 🙂 Just a little tip for better audio
quality for ur tuts: get a headset and plug its mic and the piano’s
line-out in a mixing console and monitor it through ur headset. That way
you’d have a much better recording quality with less white noise and you
wouldn’t hear the hammering sound when you push the keys.
Thanks again, as always a great tutorial.
Great videos would be great if you could do a few videos on how chords
change in western and dance music from the intro to verse to chorus
Yeah, Bill, the thumps almost mask the music.
Try a video in left hand chord progression you are great at it and I always
wonder how you do it
Cheers Rowen – I’ll add that to the list. BTW, you might find some of the
material you want in my earlier videos – there are a few bits and pieces on
developing chord progressions.
Thanks! Hmmm – interesting idea. I’ll give that one some thought. Thanks!
Thanks! I actually tried that a couple of times but found it just killed
the spontaneity of the tutorial by making things sound more artificial. The
hammering sound is certainly a pain, and I’m working on it. I’ve just moved
house and am getting used to working in a different space. Right now I’m
experimenting with damping the room. I’ve managed to deal with most of the
voice echo – the key noise is my next target…!
Hi Philip: yes, I’m definitely aware of the problem, as I can hear it
myself and several people have pointed it out. It’s basically a teething
problem with the new space I’m working in (we’ve just moved house). I’m
going to spend some time this weekend experimenting a little more with
damping some of the hard surfaces that seem to be causing the problem.
Hopefully it should be better in the next tutorial. Thanks, as ever, for
watching and taking the time to comment!
Is it me or are your piano keys very heavy and seem to make a loud
noise/rattle a lot which deters from the excellent lesson
It’s not just you! As you’ll see from earlier comments, it’s a problem
that’s arisen since I moved house a couple of weeks ago – I haven’t quite
got the acoustics right in my new office yet. I’m going to spend the
weekend moving bookshelves around and putting stuff on the walls –
hopefully that will sort it out. It was rarely a problem previously… 🙂
I subscribed to you I really like your vid
Sorry for being so picky! Thanks for all your hard work, appreciated.
Bill I really want to do a piano video but I’m to worried that people are
going to make fun of it and its going to turn out bad. Can you give me some
tips
G’day to you sir. Your videos are pretty much the best I’ve found on
youtube and i like your teaching style. I’m only beginning to play the
piano and i wonder if you could answer a question. I know that it’s
important to practice scales, especially if i want to learn to play blues
and jazz, but my question is what keys should i practice? I’m an
intermediate guitar player and i know i practice quite a few keys there,
but which ones would be best to start with for the piano? thank you much.
Good lesson
