You're a fantastic teacher Jack. I've been playing music for most of my life, and am getting back into piano after a solid ten or more year break. I've really enjoyed watching you noodle away on synth review videos, and have always wanted to pick up the skill of improvisation on keys so decided to follow along with this series, even though it's way below my 'level'. With stringed instruments I can jam away for hours, but back when I studied piano it was just reading sheet music, very rigid classical stuff, and I feel I never learned to PLAY. I could sight read, but that never converted to getting out what I hear in my head. In a way I'm trying to un-learn a lot of things, and be more free. I think this will help a great deal.
What you're doing here, in contrast to so many other lessons, is giving us permission to feel, to listen, to experiment. When our brain is busy asking 'is it a song, or an exercise, what am I learning?' Jack gives us permission to ignore our brain and engage with the instrument differently. Cheers
Hey Jack Please keep this series up, we are inspired by your playing and we are quite happy and satisfied to come along and play with you. In fact for me, I bought the same exact keyboard you are playing right now, the CDP-S100 and learning to play the keyboard at the moment. Great Job, much appreciated. God Bless mate. 😀
I’ve been playing for 30 years now, and still you learned my something new. Even this is a beginner lesson, this mighy still be very useful for other as well. Great video!
Just ordered a Digital piano after years of on-and-off noodling around. This video series is leaving me really excited to start afresh! Thanks so much! I love your style of teaching, Jack.
This is a great video series, Jack! Thank you so much! I’m a solid guitar player trying to learn a little piano/synth during my “stay at home” time. Very helpful!
I love this channel.. Many things you will learn not just piano review but also you will learn note voicing and more... I think this Casio win the blind test on your channel
I’m brand new to playing piano and no previous music experience (and an old f**t to boot). And got my Casio cdps100 from you😀. Getting more structured tuition via #pianote but love your relaxed (and slightly rebellious) approach to supplement Pianote. Keep it coming please.
@1:58, you mention that the interval you're playing is a 5th, but it is actually a 4th (or to be more technical, it's a perfect 4th). If you were to invert the 4th so that the G was above C, then it would be a 5th (or a perfect 5th if you want to be technical).
My budget for digital keyboard is the cheaper the better.. but I dont want to be with that feeling of wanting more... so is the cdp100 64 polyphony good enough for most people? Or should i go for atleast 128?
So... you’re a great keyboard player and I really enjoy hearing you play, and talk about playing. How did you get to this level of proficiency? I’d be interested in the detail of that journey.
And if you look at the records in front of the keyboard, well, the last one on the right says it, apart from good ol Leo of course haha, only joking............or am I. Like the way you teach
"I mean, I ain't no f.., but Jack is prettier than most women, you know? Most women. " "I always said, if I had to f a guy, I mean if my life depended on it, I'd f Jack"

Just make sure guys that your keyboard has touch sensitive keys too.. Great video jack! i'm self taught just about and thats exactly how you do it.
I loved these lessons. Thanks Jack. Great vid.
PIANOFORTE is what it is. Brilliant and charming 🙂
Again Jack, hats off for this great series. So good the way you communicate, I love watching these. Might have to go buy a keyboard now..! 😁
So much love for you Jacko!
This is great, thanks!
Leo Sayer & Now music 3?! Holy timewarp Jack! Are these from your personal collection? 😉
You would make an excellent english teacher.
Woo hoo, more free lessons!
So, it's about feeling.
Hi, Jack uses "first, index and middle fingers" instead of "first, middle, last" fingers for the intervals. Any thoughts on which will work better?
I’m brand new to playing piano and no previous music experience (and an old f**t to boot). And got my Casio cdps100 from you😀. Getting more structured tuition via #pianote but love your relaxed (and slightly rebellious) approach to supplement Pianote. Keep it coming please.

Besides that, super awesome video. Thank you for taking the time to make it!
Great lesson, please move Leo, he makes me feel like dancing 🤣 Father's Day so Dad jokes mandatory 🥴

Legend
Thank you, I use my daughter's piano more than she does now 😅

So... you’re a great keyboard player and I really enjoy hearing you play, and talk about playing. How did you get to this level of proficiency? I’d be interested in the detail of that journey.
Practice
It's called practice. Gotta put in the time.
I think that’s a given, but I’m sure Jack has an interesting journey to share as well, if he wishes to 🙂
And if you look at the records in front of the keyboard, well, the last one on the right says it, apart from good ol Leo of course haha, only joking............or am I. Like the way you teach
💚
Somebody to lean on............
