Thanks for making this video. I've just heard of the G1 and loved how it looks and sounds. I'm curious about the glue holding the reed plates. Do you know if it's as easy to repair as the ones with beeswax? I'm afraid to buy it and not find someone to service it.

Looks like magic.....now I know what to aim for. Thank you ! Allow me to think of this as very piano-bluesy. Your explanations are top notch. Happy new year!

Hey Robert. Apologies for the comment here, unrelated to this particular video. I thoroughly enjoyed your three B3 videos on the Piano Groove channel and wondered how many more B3 lessons/videos are included in the full course. I’m sure I would get a ton from the piano specific lessons too, but I’m especially interested in the Hammond stuff. Thanks for any more info you can provide!

I’m happy for you that you got a happy unboxing this time! I’ve also had tough times recording accordions over the Mail. Have fun with your new instrument!

Congrats on the new accordion Robert! Shipping music instruments is problematic. I have received a couple used synthesizer keyboards damaged due to shipping issues, even when packed well. Very frustrating.

Interesting……

Just because it's using muscles of the hand doesn't mean it's problematic.

I think the biggest problem in piano teaching is the use of terminology like thumb Tuck etc. After studying Anatomy in med school a lot of stuff made sense. The point he was trying to make is in a thumb tuck when the second finger is playing we have to FLEX the thumb to get it ready to play after finger 3. Flexing is done at the inter-phalangeal and the first meta-carpal joint and this is what causes the tension. When I say flex I'm talking about Anatomical flexion which is trying to touch the base of little finger with tip of thumb WHILE whole thumb is in contact with palm. Thumb is like a windshield wiper wiping the palm. There is another movement where you touch base of little finger with thumb tip but the thumb is NOT in contact with palm surface this is called Opposition. Try both and you'll see flexion is stressful while opposition is easy and tension free. In any case in a classic thumb tuck after playing finger 3 we have to straighten the thumb to play the F. So why even contort the thumb into that initial flexion? Watch the video at quarter speed (0.25×) and you will notice that his thumb remains straight (I.e he 8s using opposition rather than flexion) . That is the most efficient technique. Many of us hit upon the efficient method by chance specially when playing fast. Some unlucky ones get stuck with the inefficient method and end up with injuries in the long run. Also do not be judgemental about the hand being too low as playing the piano is adynamic process and if you watch videos of famous pianists all of them will have the hand low at some point of the other. Horowitz would be low and Gould would be under the piano. 😂

Hmm, not at all convinced by this technique. Especially as it seems where he points at the "small muscles" at 1:56 aren't where the finger muscles are actually located. Will using arm muscles or all-wrist rotations really scale with speed? Still hands, loose wrists, let the nimble fingers do the work ... be cautious if anyone tells you otherwise. Please think carefully viewers...

Thank you for demonstrating this so well. I've played piano for 60 years, and I thought that whole "thumb under" thing was like one of the Ten Commandments! Maybe the old dog will be able to learn a new trick or two .

2:40 and 4:00

See Dorothy Taubman/Edna Golandsky

This was good but I would like to see the 4 cross as well as the 3 cross (for multiple scales). The 3 isn’t that hard; the 4 is harder.

This guy can’t even play a c scale. Rhythm is bad and he’s accenting notes that should be accented. Go somewhere else for advice haha

a super slow motion would be helpfully this demonstration(performance) is to fast to see the movements in details

Thank you

Imagine trying to show people how to play the scale while you make a mess of it.

Luckily most humans have a flexible thumb that can effortless move a little under the hand to make scales smooth. Even you were struggling a few times 4:32 + 5:23 to make it smooth your way...

Full of shit is a badly stuffed Christmas goose. Please stop giving advice on something that you are not trained or qualified to do. And by the way, find yourself a good piano teacher and go back to school like the rest of us did.

leaking battery all viscount/galantie/physis product has that problem designer fault.

The "train under the tunnel" method, in my opinion, is better for going fast. The wrist rotation method at fast speeds is too cumbersome.

THANK YOU!!!

Unfortunately your camera is not seated up right

Is the C major scale is a musical composition?

I've been playing for years and never heard of this method. To this day, I still have issues crossing under with certain scales, especially F, where the cross under is different. Thanks for the info, Robert!!

It’s TOTALLY WRONG !!! Noooooo … do not follow these advices …

Let Frances Clark explain to you what you're doing to cause the pain and how to correct it.

Biomechanics. Of piano playing.m.ua-cam.com/users/results?sp=mAEA&search_query=Chopin+method " Give special study to passing the thumb under the hand and passing the hand over the thumb. This. makes the practice of scales and arpeggios indispensable". J. PADEREWSKI " The scale of C should reign supreme until the practice habits are formed so that they will reign supreme while playing the other scales. Pearls lie at the bottom of the sea. Most pupils seem to expect them floating upon the top of the water. They never float, and the one who would have his scales shine with the beautyof splendid gems must first dive deep for the gems" V. DE PACHMANN "Few artists realize the beauty of a perfectly played scale and too few teachers insist upon it," S. STOJOWSKI

once the scale is being played in sixteenths at around 120 beats per minute, none of these techniques happen. the hand will do what it has to do.

You can also use radial and ulnar deviation of the wrist to allow for a smooth transition. Google "radial ulnar deviation" to get a description and diagram of these movements.

I still think raccoons are better suited to play the piano than we.

Is this a 'new' thing? Did you make it up, Have all piano teachers since Mozart been wrong? WTF is going on? lol

Take a look at Professor Claudio Saavedra''s 11-part animated series on Chopin Method where the use of the thumb is analyzed in exhaustive detail. Probably yuour own physiology is the root of your desire to advocate a different use of thumb. You mentioned the pain or discomfort you experienced. That's telling. For myself, I learned all 12 keys of major, and all minor scales using thumb under with no difficulty. You might mention differences in hand physiology as culprit in various fingerings diverging from so-called "common practice." Also mention the 129 page Ph.D. dissertation on Dragos Tanasescu's Treaties on Pianistic Technique, aka, controversies in fingering practices.

I’ve read descriptions of this technique but was unable to fully understand what was being suggested. This brief description cleared the fog. This is excellent. Thank you.

🔥🔥

No tunnel thumb tuck….Rotate hand counter clockwise that puts your thumb right there….move forearm and rotate wrist….Practice C chord l any times and the other scales will fall into place…..Thank you for an excellent instruction.❤

It seems like don’t tuck thumb under as much as move laterally?

I'm sure you know a lot more than I do about this, so why is your right wrist so low?

Was just practicing the c scale yesterday the wrong way then. I'm glad you posted this, and I saw it.

Three questions: who is Robert Kennedy? Two…What kind of organ? 3…Where did you get that organ stool cause I haven’t seen one like that.

First lesson when I finally went to my teacher. Rotation in scales. It’s never left me years later. Also never get pain or strain in the hands playing for long practices. Relaxed technique is everything. I’m 72 btw started learning as an older adult.

Wrist seems a bit low still and not replicating the original hand dangle you started with. Also move the elbow slightly outward from body to position the thumb on the fourth up Note when playing a scale. That occurs quite naturally with the slight elbow out movement. Courtesy Taubman technique which has some good stuff if you’re injured, but overall was way too perfectionistic, top down teaching, and inflexible for me, after three months of lessons.

Great tip! I noticed it sped up my playing right away. Thank you for sharing.

A good tip. But the video can be shortened and concise. The key point is not let the thumb tunnel too deeply under the 2 and 3 fingers by rotating the right hand outward a little. Right?

My biggest problem not when change 3rd with 1st finger, but when change 4th with 1st. Mostly difficult when movement from right to left keys direction. Thank you.

Great. Can you show the left hand too please?

I like the notion of crossing over as opposed to crossing under. That actually helped me physically by just using different language for this action.

I think the late, great Bob Berg would approve. Very well done.

Do you have tabs?

I saw someone doing that fingering technique and I just couldn’t figure it out. Thank you for this!!
