The teacher said play a 4 chord G when playing B pento . The 4 chord G was for playing in D pento . I think she forgot she switched scales.
This woman has the perfect energy and personality for this. Really makes me feel optimistic about progress
How much have you progressed a year later?
Canadian 🇨🇦

So, I started playing around with this minor pentatonic scale. And I was doing the 6, 4, 1, 5 progression, and my wife came around the corner said it sounded great. Thanks! 😀
Love it!!
That's so awesome!
Nice
I am a committed to learn piano at my age of 40 after Subscribing your channel. Thank you for your wonderful lessons. They really inspire me.
I just love this channel and your joyful, kind personality. You keep me inspired!

Her presentation and vibe is definitely nice. I make hiphop but I'm trying to get better with music theory so these videos help a lot
This channel has literally brought back the joy of learning music back to my life.
That is so cool to hear! I'm so happy! :)
She's truly beautiful inside and out. I've learned more from this teacher in a few months than I have in years from others.
As a beginner who aspires to improv, I must say this is pure gold. You’re absolutely correct, there are infinite things to do with this. 🙏
Such a calming sound to the soul
I'm not a pianist, but I love looking your vidéo. You're joy, enthusiasm of sharing and generosity... this is what music is about! Thank you
i wish i can be a teacher like her. so much positivity and knowledge.
:)
Why can't you.....
The best melodies I have heard anybody play.
I really love your channel, you are not only teaching music, you are giving us one more reason to enjoy life. Thank you so much!
You explain it so well and demonstrate how beginners like me can make beautiful music with a little bit of practice - you are so kind sharing these lessons with us 😎😙🤗
Thank you. I appreciate you telling us your secrets.
WOW! you can do anything with those scales- thanks Lisa for the wonderful video.

I love the way on how you deliver your lessons. I admire your personality, your good teacher also. Godbless
(1) THANKS for imparting the joy of music (2) THANKS for clear examples (3) thanks for the magic!!
Thank you for sharing your wisdom on the piano.....your a wonderful teacher!!
Just playing for a few a weeks and I'm practicing pentatonic scales already! That's huge credit to your teaching brilliance! Thanks so much Lisa! 🌟
This is a great help for people like me who can't read notes!
OMG You are absolutely the best teacher in this planet. I thank God I found out about you. You definitely changed the life of many aspiring pianists here. Please never stop your great energy. From now on I will faithfully follow you!! Much love to you!!
I never comment on UA-cam videos but felt compelled to say that you are a naturally talented teacher. Not talking about the content itself (which is great), but the way in which you teach and simplify things effortlessly and with enthusiasm.
Truly a gift. My girlfriend is going into teaching I a few months (all being well with COVID), she doesn't play the piano but will be nonetheless showing her your vids. Keep them up!
You make it look so easy and fun. It’s a treat watching you teach with such joy and enthusiasm. Thank you!
Your playing so clean and butiful
you make it look so easy...it's like watching the food network on cooking when I am eating my dinner and I say "looks good, I can do that"...but doing is another thing...one day... thank you
you are truly amazing thank you so much!!
that excitement trying teach a riff shows that you are such a good human being!!
Thank you. I will show this to my daughter-we will learn this together
Beautiful! Never even considered exploring the pentatonic scale this way. Will help tremendously.
Lisa, i just love your enthusiasm for playing the piano and passing on your musical knowledge to others, absolutely wonderful :)
I most certainly am excited at this point - about the basics! With as much as I've accumulated through years of trial and error and even watching UA-cam videos of seemingly more desirable topics, your videos make basic music instruction not merely tolerable - but pleasurable as well. I perceive that I'm actually learning enough not just to merely play slick riffs but to actually be creative.
You play beautifully and I just love to see the joy on your face when you play.
Keep doing always plz,i love your teaching so much
I love the way she talks. Its smiliar to Drew Barrymore😍 She's such a great teacher too.
You are an awesome Teacher, Lisa! Thanks a lot for these valuable lessons
Simply, lovely and well explained. Thanks for sharing.
She is a perfect teacher. Thank you for what you do! You help a lot.
You are a super Piano Teacher. I take most of my lessons from you but I do have a lot of problems moving my fingers over the keys. Very difficult. But it is fun. Thank you!
Thank you for your generous and competent teaching. I can feel your encouragement and compassion. This gives me the enthusiasm to start writing songs again
Stumbled across this today. Amazing, beautiful, yet simple. Thank you Lisa 💗 !
Another great lesson on improvising - thanks Lisa!
Such a great teacher
You put magic just right at the tip of your fingers. All the rest of the notes flow like a golden dust around my ears, mystifying my mind to endless songs I can make with those combinations! ✨✨
Awesome simply laid out lesson, with a lot of information packed in a 5:00 minute video! Truly a gift, keep impacting the world with your piano videos.
I’m loving these simple lessons. Great to see someone so enthusiastic. I can’t wait to practice ever day now 👍🏼

You are great, you have a very simple way of explaining the concept to make them understandable and usable. Keep up the good work
Your lessons give me tools to de-stress and learn, and improvise, thanks.🙌
Exactly what I needed! Thanks so much, Lisa.
Good and nice pattern. I love the way you keep me updated and posted.
This is great! I found this channel some days ago and I started to practice those 10 minutes before go to work as you taught in another video (in addition to the usual daily hour in the evening that I used to fail). I am feeling much more motivated now (and don't fail anymore the evening study).
Muito obrigada!
Reminds me of many Ludovico Einaudi melodies! Beautiful music, but also simple once you know which scales & chords to play.
Pentatonic is the soul's equivalent of a soothing cup of tea.
That's probably the best description of any scale I've ever heard.
@@PianoteOfficial Haha thank you!
amazing thanks...you are
a great teacher
You have a really nice voice. The way you deliver the lesson is also great. Thank you!

Thanks so much Lisa.. Loved the little lesson.
I'm a huge fan of composing in minor. I learned these scales on guitar way back and use them in my piano compositions. So beautiful.
I can't believe how great you are at teaching and playing. You said you'd been playing for over 20 years, but you can't be old enough to have been playing that long!!!
Aw thanks Jake :) That's very kind! It's funny how all guitarists seem to know the minor pentatonic scale, but so many pianists didn't learn it!
Just want to thank you for being such an incredible and passionate teacher. I have started playing piano fee months ago. I'd hate to spend months and months to be able to paly but the way u teach is so perfect. Thank u so much cause I can play anything now
Really enjoying trying out your ideas.
Thank you! Such vibrant energy. Great tips :)
