As always thank you Adam for a great lesson. Really enjoyed it but then I wouldn't expect anything less. Always enjoy your lessons. Hope you're enjoying 'Vietnam!' Holidays go so quickly. What would be good is if you could do notation of all the parts that you added bits to. The inversions etc. The basic rhythm and chord progression is easily picked up and like others, I didn't think this was as easy to play as it is. I got a little lost with the changes and evolutions etc lol. You've spoilt us with the notation we always got at the end of the videos lol. Are there any more videos you did for when you're away and have they been released yet? Safe journey home to Blighty.
@@thekeyscoach Really looking forward to the next lesson. Have so much fun doing your lessons. I really wish my piano teacher taught as they do now particularly with your teaching skills and style. That was the 70's though and things really were different then. Mainly they were piano teachers and not musicians. Thank you Adam.
I like lessons that are slightly more advanced versions of this one. Rhythm grooves that are useful in solo accompaniment. Meanwhile. these absolute bedrock tips are great. Thanks, Coach.
The C - D7 - F - G11 chord sequence sounds great. I'm curious about the use of the secondary dominant because it doesn't resolve to the 5. You'd expect to see D7 - G. In this case, it resolves to the 4. What's the theory behind why that works?
I think generally it’s a bit of a myth that chords should do what you expect them to do. The voice leading from D7 - F where the F# simply falls down to an F, is just as strong in my opinion. I usually find that in pop music, folk, soul etc. IV - I is a much more widely used chord sequence. Hope that helps!
At 8:10, should it be 1 2a 3 4, not 1 2n 3 4? I feel that that jump is rather short, not very even as 1 2n 3 4. Seems like 1 2en(a) 3 4, while we count that "a". 9:30 also seems to be 1 2 3a instead of "n"? The whole pattern in 10:28 sounds like 1 2__a 3__a? I tried to slow it down to listen. Hope you understand what I mean. As a beginner, I don't know if I make it wrong. 😅 I know that learning to play that groove is more signifcant when we started to get accustomed to the beat, no matter we call it "a" or "n". 🤣
QUESTION: When playing lead sheets I play chords with left hand and single note melody with right hand. What can I do to make the music more lively? I realize this isn't much to go on. I probably need to take my playing to a new level but do not know which direction to go. Some lead sheets I play.

That piano pattern may work with Daydream Believer but that is not the pattern that is played on the original recording. That pattern was more of a toggle pattern.
Dear Keys Coach. I have submitted my name and email on at least 5 of your videos to receive your free PDFs, and I have not received a single one. Checked Spam again and again. Nothing. What's going on?
from a professional accompanist- your content is FIRE! Love it!
Very cool, thanks!
Thanks coach, happy vacation. Looking forward for the next. God bless!
First song that popped into my mind was the TV theme "The Facts of Life"😀🎹🎵🎶
Totally! 😂
Just found your channel. This is great! Looking forward to more tips and tricks.
Awesome! Thanks Ted!!
Amazing. Best training I have seen yet.
Wow, thanks!

Thanks Scarlet! Glad you found this one useful! Another video is going out next week - there’s a lesson book with that one!

LOVE IT!
Adam, once again you inspire me and make me realise that C and D7 is really so close, as to move only one note. 😄
Picked up some tips. Tks.
Glad to help!
Hi, nice lesson. I would love to know what piano you are using in this video. All the best.
Looks like a Nord Electro6
Heard this pattern many times in pop music, never knew it was so easy to play 👍🏽Thanks
You’re welcome!

So glad you enjoyed it!

That’s strange - shoot me an email adam@thekeyscoach.com and I’ll make sure you get them.
