I’ve just bought a keyboard. This has been my dream since I was a child but the times and finances could barely afford living. I’ve finally purchased my first keyboard 2 days ago, 26 years of wait. I just couldn’t help myself but to go crazy sounding awful lol. This is my first time having an instrument and very first time playing it. I was searching where to begin with. I cant even follow a single pattern going up and down. This made me thought i’m passed my time to learn piano as it takes years to move both hands in different directions but i don’t want to give up. My brother, this video has given me hope. I’ve heard this at least 10 times now, i still can’t play anything but now, i believe if i stay consistent, i can do it. I can’t afford any piano tutors. Sometimes, we might not realize how we are adding values into people life, and your video is one example of it. Looking forward to learn more from you. God bless you, keep doing the good work that you’re doing!! Much respect.
Thanks for the feedback that’s nice to hear. Just remember you’re asking your hands and fingers to move and be controlled in ways they’re not used to yet,it’s like learning to walk again. It’ll be wobbly for a while and you’ll fall over but eventually you can run.
@Julian Oostdam Pidal I’m obviously not the creator, however I’m a beginner too and my absolute favourite books have been the Alfred Basic Piano books. They’re amazing and have helped tons. Best of luck!
Hello you ! I just bought a piano yesterday. It just arrived ! I am 28 this year. Now im employed and I able to buy my own 1st piano. Back in the days, just able to see friends using it since child. Hahahha. Now own it, yayy .Still struggling with it hahah. Gonna cheer it and try my best to study and play it flawlessly. Goodluck to both of us ✨✨😄
Yea Brother, btw it takes longer to get your fingers moving independently than anybody ever says! In the very beginning, I literally had to use one hand to guide my fingers on the other hand! But within a couple months, no problems - now it's a whole other story. Daily practice works wonders.
Started playing (professional taught) at 8 yrs. Over 40 years now. Believe me, start with counting the music score and properly. Then reading the music score. Practice right hand, then left. Bring them together. Practice daily! Doing scales, triads, is very important too! All the best!
@@Danitux11 Do you have the feeling or seeing type of synesthesia? I have the seeing type, for example there is one song that I never found the name of that is forever called "Orange Rectangles" because thats what I saw when I heard the song. With the seeing type, you can try using the colors as a guide. I don't know a lot about the subject, I have produced for several years, but I am also still new at piano and learning myself so I don't know if I have any good advice for you other than we are in the same boat. (Edit: Were in the same boat, but that doesn't mean you are not capable of learning piano. Use your gifts to your advantage.)
@@gingerisland6877 yeah, I don't think he meant to say synesthesia at all. He could've been referring to synthesia, which is a computer program that helps people learn to play the piano using a visual representation of falling notes on the screen.
I am 72, already a musician of 60 years but not piano. I have just bought an electric piano so I can play with phones on at silly hours. You are young and by heck you know how to teach. Those chord progressions were good. Practice all four with both hands? I did not know all the black notes formed the minor pentatonic. That was great to learn and there is some good improvising to be done with the black notes. You are a breath of fresh air. Its all very well people saying " get a teacher". Some of us cannot afford that...pensioners like me! I rely on young ones like you to teach me! You are great. And thank you. Peter
I’m not a beginner, but I get sucked into watching piano and keyboard tutorials all the time. Your generosity, kindness and positive spirit are easily seen in this video! Cheers and continued success.
Same, I've been watching tutorials and not really perfecting the basics. Now I'm starting from the beginning and taking it slow so I can play like a proper pro.
When I was a kid, I became interested in pianos which delighted my aunt. She was so excited that she bought me a piano and wanted me to learn it. She always told me she wanted to hear me play her favorite melody “chariots of fire”, from the piano. Unfortunately after 6 months of lessons, I decided to quit because I was young and stupid. Fast forward to today, she has sadly passed away , and in her funeral chariots of fire was playing. She always wanted me to play it for her. It is now my mission to pick up the piano again and master my skills. Thank you for this video
@@tournesol-e7q very cool, good luck! Just checked that Chopin piece out cuz I was unfamiliar and it’s so beautiful but really complex too so good luck with that as well! As for me, I’m progressing slowly but some of the early stuff I’m learning mostly comes from Super Nintendo games haha
I love how he doesn’t talk slowly or take extra time explains things. He just gets straight into it, gives a demonstration, and moves on. Awesome tutorial dude!
@Om0riii After wanting for ages to learn piano I found Turbo Piano Secret and this appears to be the simplest home study system (check it out on google)
@@haraamihan1568 i checked it out and i cant pay any money i am disabled and live on a budget ill stick to youtube for free lessons i have a Teacher and she is doing the lessons for free thanks anyways
I almost never comment but couldnt leave this video without thanking you for doing this for free, ive seen a lot of half content, and clickbait because if you want to learn you paid their expensive curse, you give me hope again that i can at least learn the basics withoyt paying 200 dollars, again, thanks for the video i really aprecciate it, looking forward to see more content for begginers
I am a pianist and a friend of mine asked me to give my opinion on this channel (and others), since she is keen to start piano (at 35). I have to congratulate you. Although this will never replace (obviously) a teacher, you have done a great job, showing patience, perseverance and knowledge. Well done sir!
I don't have money to spend on a teacher, how should I learn piano, through simply piano?, this youtube channel?, wich youtube channel? Please give me advice on what, I should do. And did your friend get better through this channel? Thank you and have a great rest of your day, Wish you all the best.
I'm so impressed by the delivery style and clarity of objectives in this beginner's tutorial. I'm 66, an absolute novice with no musical experience bar learning the recorder in the 60"s at school, too long ago to even remember the notes etc. A latent yearning to play the piano has been propelled by the promise of attainment I felt when watching your video. Very inspiring, thanks.
I'll put it to you like this, I'm definitely not an expert piano player. I've just messed around most of my life, learned how to play the first part of yankee doodle as a kid, just the one hand. I've never ever played using two hands. It was extremely easy for me when watching the tutorial. I never knew those chords existed like that. Now, I feel like a whole thing for me has been opened up to playing piano, because the black notes, I've never understood. I have no clue how to read sheet music, other than we learned FACE is on the spaces and EGBDF (Every Good Boy Does Fine) is on the lines from bottom to top. No idea what a quarter note is, what an eighth note is or how to apply those to playing. But this tutorial really opened things up for me.
@@lozza1874 mine has arrived early today. And I gotta tell you... Be. Patient. IMO a lot looks easier than it actually is. But practice is the key. I for myself do see progress though already so yeah.. Good lick y'all!
@@eden4949 oh fab! Maybe we should share progress somehow? I've had lessons before and I can play guitar so maybe there's hope for me yet 🙂 happy playing!
My grandad died around 10yr ago and he had a keyboard, its been at my mums ever since his death..never been used by anyone since his death..until yesterday by me. Now I have no idea how to play keyboard really, but I was messing around with the keys/tones ect and managed to teach myself bits of "The final countdown, wonderwall, beat it" granted these will be the absolute basic version of the songs..but it's a start...and had no help ,tutorials or anything whatsoever, So I'm now I'm actually thinking of learning everything from scratch. I will add that I used to be a drummer in many bands for 15years, and can play bits on guitar and bass too..and I get people say if you can play guitar you can play piano /keyboard..let me tell you that's not the case with me,looking at a keyboard and trying to play it is complete alien to me.
I’m sure experience in music in general will help you out as you progress, with your sense of rhythm and your ears and musicality. But yes getting familiar with the actual keyboard layout and technique etc will take some getting used to. Practice often and things start to feel a bit more natural after a while! Good luck!
Try playing Van Halen’s song called ‘Jump’. It’s pretty easy and fun.... I’m a new keyboard player from a guitar background. It sounds great using a ‘Synth Sawtooth’ waveform. 😊
Exact same circumstances here, except for being an drummer in a band - but I have played guitar on and off for a good while. My Grandads keyboard is circa 1999 I think but will be a good place to start!
My heart goes out to those watching this without access to a piano. I feel so incredibly lucky to have a keyboard lying around. I hope you all can get that piano you've been wishing for soon ❤
Thank you for these tutorials. After decades of wishing I could learn piano, at 63, I am finally committing myself to learning to play. I should be ready to play Carnegie Hall by the time I am 163, but in the meantime, I hope to develop a modest set of playing skills. Thanks again.
I’ve tried a couple of beginner lessons over the last few days and none have been nearly as engaging and enjoyable as this. I had a lot of fun doing this so thank you for taking the time to produce the video. I look forward to watching more!
Thanks for making content without the childish thumbnails, super annoying sales pitch youtuber-voice. You are teaching piano, in a calm and wonderful way, thank you for existing and creating good content!
This is outstanding. I've been to a number of sites which cover learning piano, but this one actually includes some key foundational and technique principles, which you would normally get from a teacher. It's really important to learn proper technique from the start if you plan do get serious. I made that mistake self-learning guitar and had to "unlearn" a bunch of bad habits. Thanks for posting - I'll be checking out your other videos as well.
I'm 65, was lent a Yamaha 2000 PRS indefinitely, and to cap it off I found your starter lesson. Top stuff. Easy to understand, now I got to train my fingers to easily follow. Got the piano set up on my kitchen table- which means I give myself lots of mini-lessons through out the day as I often have to pass through the kitchen. 😄 GREAT LESSON, MANY THANKS.
I’ve been playing piano for a long time (self taught) and I can’t thank you enough for this amazing way of learning piano. NOTHING boring here!! I’ve already shared it with friends. I’m going to do the progression that you suggested of C F Am and G. I really appreciated how low key and calm your manner is, stellar work.
@@moiethereal9634 yes, but in a funny way. I had a fake book years ago so I memorized about 12 cords. So I don’t read the base clef, I just read the signature the top. I know where the notes are on the page but only have a vague memory of what each one is called. So I need the music to play, but I can’t really read it the way most others do, and I can’t play by ear. Pretty mixed up but I get by 😬
I've just turned 65 and have decided that old dogs might be able to learn new tricks! I am finding your style and method really easy to relate to and am hoping that playing the piano will be something I can enjoy in retirement.
I just got my first piano.I am 67 and can't read music but these videos are fantastic for me to learn the basics.There seems to be a huge amount out there on Y T but this is great for the UK trainees! Thank you.
Just finally managed to buy my first piano at the age of 42. It’s gonna arrive next week! I’m so excited! Your vid is just the best of what I found on YT, to get me prepared for my piano journey! Thanks a lot! Keep making good videos please!
I just received a keyboard. I have always wanted to learn. I am 51 and stumbled upon your video, i will be watching and trying to learn. Thank you for your hard work. I am not ready to invest in lessons just starting out and you make this possible. I think this is going to take a lot of practice getting fingers to do right. You make it clear where to begin thanks
i am from india and the place where i live piano teachers are rare or i can say no...but finally i found really a good piano teacher here thanks for wasting your time and uploading vidio on youtube u rock... lots og luv from india
Best Beginners lesson on UA-cam. No Bullshit, no paid Course - just the basics and it was exactly what I was searching for. I hope, you make your money.
I’ve watched a lot of beginners lessons since I’m looking for my very first piano and to kill the wait I was already watching lessons/tutorial, but this is definitely the best so far.
Hi, my daughter is starting piano at the age of 7. I am 42 and I will like to learn at her same pase. I will study her books and your channel. I have been interested in piano for many years and felt intimidated. Now it is time to get started. Thanks for this boost of hope!!! 🙏
Found you and won't let go now. Hubs bought me a keyboard for Christmas because I've always said I wanted to play; had no idea where to start and then came across you. You are clear, concise, easy to follow and I just know that if it is in me you will bring it out. Thank you so much.
I purchased an electric piano. It sat in my office for nearly a year… Messing around here and there. Hardly learning. I had the best intentions… I finally told myself that I purchased this piano for a reason, not to become the most brilliant piano player… but to at the very least learn the chords and such and have fun along the way. Anything worth while takes time, commitment, and consistency, I suppose. So I said enough is enough and went to UA-cam. Landed here and now I feel a motivation and a passion now. My wife and I were making up songs with the chords you provided in this song and even she was impressed! Lol. So, long story short, thank you for the content. And to anyone that’s been putting this on the back burner waiting for inspiration or motivation… don’t. Just start doing it and the other will follow. Thanks again!
I fear you may have sent me on an instrumental treasure hunt. I started at 8 years old laying keyboard for three years and then stopped, rediscovering my love of music in my 20s with the guitar. Love it because it’s so nuanced and versatile. The piano would make a fantastic ear training and accompaniment tool, not to mention a thing to do when guitar gets wearing... not that it has managed that yet. But at times it does disturb my housemate. Even with a headset an electric guitar still makes noise. I want a keyboard. Now. Much of that basic music theory and keyboard layout knowledge is still there. Ready and waiting. So thanks man.
You’re the best! I’ve been playing for 2 years and finally started performing( in front of people and it’s 😧. Hopefully it gets easier the more I do it. Thanks for sharing this.
As a guitar player that knows minimal theory and just prefers using my ear: I really appreciate this. I'm ordering an 88 key keyboard and I'll dig into your videos. Thanks so much for taking the time to make these thoughtful videos.
Hey man, just wanna say this is by far the best tutorial I've found for piano online, both in terms of delivery and presentation. Such a shame your channel hasn't been discovered by more people like me (complete beginners!!!) - please don't stop what you're doing, it's so cool that this kind of content is on the public domain for people who can't afford lessons. Thanks! I look forward to improving under your tuition :)
Thanks for the feedback dude, glad it's been helpful for you. Yea it's hard to get videos out to an audience when you're starting out but beginning to see a bit of traction. Like and comments like this really help though so thanks!
I’m a practical person rather than a visual person because I like to learn by practical examples rather the learn from sheet music, so this is perfect for me.. once I can do the basics, then reading music will become easier, hopefully.. brilliant lesson..🙂
Hey @Piano from scratch I am 44 years old and just decided I would learn, so I dug out my daughters old 61 keyboard and plugged it in.... not too worried about sound at the moment. Followed a few tutorials and managed to learn a good deal of christmas lights by coldplay and now learning Paradise by coldplay too.... its tough going but I am stubborn. This tutorial has really helped as I didn't want to get into bad habits and you deliver a very calm way of emphasising the importance of form and getting the basics right. Thank you for that! I feel that the exercises of just learning to play hands together and getting form correct has already accelerated my learning. Good man. We thank you.
Complete beginner here with trouble learning/understanding. I've gone through other tutorials and always get very frustrated and confused, but this tutorial is absolutely amazing easy to follow. I feel much much more comfortable at my keyboard and was able to understand and grasp everything you said. Thank you SO much ❤️
I’ve been playing for 2 years (self taught) and finally started performing in front of people and it’s 😧. Hopefully it gets easier the more I do it. Thanks for sharing this.
I just turned 73 and bought a digital piano. I have always wanted to play piano, but started with guitar. Now I have time for both. Your lessons resonate well with me, thank you
This works like therapy for my old tired brain, I can follow this. My memory is so poor that when I restart this video I get excited because it seems easier every session. I don’t think I’ll play as well as Billy Preston but that’s the way God planned it.
I tried to learn a couple years ago, but got bored after about a week. I think because I was watching videos of teachers that were quite boring, so it made me get bored. They were definitely not teaching chords on day one. Your style of teaching is quite captivating. If I knew I could have learnt these simple things on day one, I probably would have stuck with it longer. This video made me feel an element of excitement again. I'm going to give it another shot. Thank you.
This video was amazing! As someone who has never attempted to learn an instrument before this was incredibly easy to follow and understand. It took so much brain power to coordinate my hands to move correctly for the chords. But after practicing the progression for even 10 minutes it felt much more natural. Can’t wait to keep working my way through your videos. Thank you!
to play piano you have to keep your fingers moving all the time! to playan electric keyboard you only have to play the chord with your left hand and the melody with your right hand, your left hand holds the chord, until your melody reaches the next chord, giving full smooth music all the while!
fantastic just started piano, great to have a common sense tutor talking piano, thank you more tutorial please I'm becoming very warm to learning piano.
Wow, in this single lesson I accidentaly found out how to play fragments of my favorite songs. Thank you so much, this lesson made me so confident and this just starts sounding nice. You've become officially my piano teacher =)
I have a keyboard sitting in a box for almost 7 years.. I saw your video and have started playing it, in a right way... Thank you.. (like /reply comment will motivate learning/practicing 😊)
I am a complete beginner, and bought a keyboard (as a start, to learn the ropes - the end game is a piano) I love your channel, I am in the UK and it is so much easier listening to an English speaker with a gentle pace to his voice. Thank you so much, I am loving my new hobby. Took my son to piano when he was young (usually dragged by his hair, lol) - He now loves playing, so it was worth it! I have always loved the gentle sound of the piano - Einaudi being one of my faves. Thank you so much for your kindness putting these fab lessons together. I found the last exercise the hardest for some reason! On to the next video, thank you again :)
I just bought a small keyboard from a local Uber driver, random I know, and I’ve always wanted to learn how to play piano. I’m 46 now, but when I was 10 I used to play clarinet though I don’t remember anything. I tried a couple other videos first that were recommended but they spent no time with learning where the notes were in respect to getting comfortable playing those notes with a specific fingers and I was totally lost with those videos. However, your video has made it that I feel not only comfortable at the pace you work but I actually feel like I’m learning something! I know it’s gonna take a long time to get to where I want to be, able to play as an outlet of creativity, and I’m very grateful for your videos and I know will help me build the foundations I need. Anybody got recommendations for a good sewing channel too?
Thank you for an easy to follow beginners lesson. Just long enough to give me something to practice ready for the next lesson. Look forward to the next one!
so far you tutorial fits my level.. the clarity n patience during teaching fits my level.. some encouragement along the way is good..thanks for your hardwork..
This is great! Im a 56 year old beginner. I've been SLOWLY working through the Alfred's book for a few months now, but find it a bit dull and uninspiring. I also think that sticking to one source of information doesnt really suit me. I was beginning to lose interest and needed something to get me away from just learning cheesy tunes. This seems much better. I'm now planning on following your videos. Is there a particular order you'd recommend? Thank you so much. This has been a real inspiration 😊👍
Now you are one of the best!! Piano teachers on UA-cam!.. I kid you not.. because you break it down on how how this Instrument is suppose to be played when learning.. Thank you😊🙏👍
Glad it was helpful! Just uploaded a tutorial on playing C major scale you may want to tackle next! Here's a link ua-cam.com/video/i-buhBdqwtY/v-deo.html
Thank you for taking time to put this video together for us that are intimidated by getting to learn how to play a piano. It's the best "intro to piano" I've come across, and it's helped me a ton. I appreciate the lack of unnecessary tricks and tips that always seemed to confuse me when watching other beginner videos. I've watched this a couple of times today while playing along, and I already feel that much more confident. I will continue to dedicate at least an hour of my day to my keyboard and hope to some day impress myself. Thanks again!
Thanks for the video. I just bought my keyboard(Roland Gokeys) yesterday. I'm not new to music(I play guitar and bass for the last 17 years). I decided to learn piano/keyboard because I want to improve my music knowledge since piano is more logical when it comes to note presentation, unlike with guitar which has a lot of redundant parts in frets. I appreciate the help for us piano beginners😁😁
Dude this is so cool. Ive been playing metal/punk guitar for years. Always by ear. I bought an 85 casio for 20 bucks just for fun. Ive been messing around but i wanna learn for real. This was a lot of help man. Thank you so much
OMG thank you so much! I bought a keyboard last month to teach myself during lockdown, and struggled so hard with keeping all the fingers resting on the keys when playing one note, they seemed to be lifted automatically each time... From your video I learned in the first few minutes that I have to sit further away from the keyboard than I had been until now, and it's SO MUCH better already...I'm so happy!! ❤️
Glad you found it helpful man. Yes getting control of your fingers takes a bit of work and time to get used to but stick with it, it’s going to start feeling more natural with time. Check out the major scales playlist on my channel, starting with C as a good next step. Good luck!
Wow!! Took delivery this morning of my very first digital piano, after endless consideration and weighing up various pros and cons, I decided on the Casio CDP - S110. Definitely happy with it so far, very positive first impression. ☺️ I’m nearly 50, and decided to finally embark on my piano learning journey, I’m already thinking that I should have taken to step a long time back! But here we are, it seems so weird going back to my tablet device, and even trying to type a comment, my brain and fingers seem to be stuck in piano brains mode! I’m so pleased that I found this video, it was very helpful in providing a from scratch foundation, you know what to do once the piano is out of the box and in front of you. I really enjoyed the lesson, I was progressing quite nicely until the chord progressions and being able to switch groups of fingers according to which chords are playing, and moving between 1-3-5 and 1-2-4, it definitely feels unintuitive! However, I recognise and acknowledge that this is a very normal feeling, that will continue until this new system of brain finger coordination beds in - if it evens beds in!!!! 🤣🤣 Thank you for the time and effort to produce such a lesson, it’s a lesson that I will be using as my “from scratch” foundation. 🎹✨
I am 50 in 3 months and have always wanted to play the piano. I’m finding it hard to find vids for truly 💯 beginners. I will listen to this. Very positive comments from beginners on this
Wow. I really loved this!! I’ve watched quite a few “start here beginner” videos and I love your focus on position AND learning to use your ear and improvise!! I’ve been focused on “learning a song” but if I learn to LISTEN the sky’s the limit. Thank you!!
i just bought my keyboard two days ago and ive been searching for someone that actually explains something and there you are THANK YOUUUUUUU IM DEF GOING TO TRAIN ON EVERYTHING YOU STATED ON THE VID
Being a total musical rookie at 39yo, I'm landing here after receiving a gift of a launchkey mini. Leaving a note on my journey to see if I can utilize youtube to effectively teach myself how to play/produce music. Thanks for providing a stop on the path forward. These are some very valuable insights, which I'm sure will be most helpful with learning to physically play. Now to just find a good place to learn how to set up the keyboard and how to use ableton. WOW, this is a complex way to go about it. But, makes learning to play a piano type instrument an option for someone on a low budget and limited space during a pandemic.
This is absolutely helpful. I started playing the piano during the Corona lockdown for 3 months and let it slide after that but I'm picking it up again properly and your lessons are great! Thank you!
I want you to know how much I appreciate you and what you are doing with your teaching videos. Thank you! I am 73 years old and have always wanted to learn to play the piano, and now with your free instruction, I am well on my way! I am sure that you have put a lot of time and effort into your videos. Thank you so much for providing free piano lessons! Keep up the good work!
I don't know anything about music. But I want to learn piano because whenever I listen some piano tune I just love with and I want to learn from many times but not workout. From many days I just watching UA-cam videos, download apps and so many things but didn't find anything that I understand and go ahead with. But when I show your video and I realised that this is it.. you nailed it man. I inspired again. Yes I can. Thank you so much. Keep looking for your videos. You are hope for people. 🙏

piano lessons from the beginning
I’ve just bought a keyboard. This has been my dream since I was a child but the times and finances could barely afford living. I’ve finally purchased my first keyboard 2 days ago, 26 years of wait. I just couldn’t help myself but to go crazy sounding awful lol. This is my first time having an instrument and very first time playing it. I was searching where to begin with. I cant even follow a single pattern going up and down. This made me thought i’m passed my time to learn piano as it takes years to move both hands in different directions but i don’t want to give up. My brother, this video has given me hope. I’ve heard this at least 10 times now, i still can’t play anything but now, i believe if i stay consistent, i can do it. I can’t afford any piano tutors. Sometimes, we might not realize how we are adding values into people life, and your video is one example of it. Looking forward to learn more from you. God bless you, keep doing the good work that you’re doing!! Much respect.
Thanks for the feedback that’s nice to hear. Just remember you’re asking your hands and fingers to move and be controlled in ways they’re not used to yet,it’s like learning to walk again. It’ll be wobbly for a while and you’ll fall over but eventually you can run.
@Julian Oostdam Pidal I’m obviously not the creator, however I’m a beginner too and my absolute favourite books have been the Alfred Basic Piano books. They’re amazing and have helped tons. Best of luck!
Hello you ! I just bought a piano yesterday. It just arrived ! I am 28 this year. Now im employed and I able to buy my own 1st piano. Back in the days, just able to see friends using it since child. Hahahha. Now own it, yayy .Still struggling with it hahah. Gonna cheer it and try my best to study and play it flawlessly. Goodluck to both of us ✨✨😄
You will be a great pianist one day, much love
Yea Brother, btw it takes longer to get your fingers moving independently than anybody ever says! In the very beginning, I literally had to use one hand to guide my fingers on the other hand! But within a couple months, no problems - now it's a whole other story. Daily practice works wonders.
Started playing (professional taught) at 8 yrs. Over 40 years now. Believe me, start with counting the music score and properly. Then reading the music score. Practice right hand, then left. Bring them together. Practice daily! Doing scales, triads, is very important too! All the best!
I just went with synesthesia and now that I actually want to learn real piano i can't
@@Danitux11 Do you have the feeling or seeing type of synesthesia?

if u have any additional practical daily habitual advice sir i’ll write it down ty for this comment
I am 72, already a musician of 60 years but not piano.
I have just bought an electric piano so I can play with phones on at silly hours.
You are young and by heck you know how to teach.
Those chord progressions were good.
Practice all four with both hands?
I did not know all the black notes formed the minor pentatonic. That was great to learn and there is some good improvising to be done with the black notes.
You are a breath of fresh air.
Its all very well people saying " get a teacher".
Some of us cannot afford that...pensioners like me!
I rely on young ones like you to teach me!
You are great.
And thank you.
Peter
Good luck Peter and have fun bud, coming from a 35yr old youngen
I’m not a beginner, but I get sucked into watching piano and keyboard tutorials all the time. Your generosity, kindness and positive spirit are easily seen in this video! Cheers and continued success.
Thanks Pierre!
@Pierre, Me too! 🤣🤣🤣
Same, I've been watching tutorials and not really perfecting the basics. Now I'm starting from the beginning and taking it slow so I can play like a proper pro.
Nothing wrong with the tutorials just get the basics mastered first!
When I was a kid, I became interested in pianos which delighted my aunt. She was so excited that she bought me a piano and wanted me to learn it. She always told me she wanted to hear me play her favorite melody “chariots of fire”, from the piano. Unfortunately after 6 months of lessons, I decided to quit because I was young and stupid. Fast forward to today, she has sadly passed away , and in her funeral chariots of fire was playing. She always wanted me to play it for her. It is now my mission to pick up the piano again and master my skills. Thank you for this video
Starting piano from scratch at 26.
Hoping to be a “master” by 40.
Wish me luck!!
good luck ✨
I believe in u bro u gon do it
Dude same, I'm just a year younger than you. I started 3 days ago, I want to be able to play fantasie impromptu by 35
.. im starting at 51 due to all this covid stuff .. by 61 i be lucky to play a complete song ,if dementia dont catch up to me ..haha
@@tournesol-e7q very cool, good luck! Just checked that Chopin piece out cuz I was unfamiliar and it’s so beautiful but really complex too so good luck with that as well! As for me, I’m progressing slowly but some of the early stuff I’m learning mostly comes from Super Nintendo games haha
I love how he doesn’t talk slowly or take extra time explains things. He just gets straight into it, gives a demonstration, and moves on. Awesome tutorial dude!
Dude I've learned more from this in 30 minutes then I've ever had before I gave up on piano 2 years ago but this has given my confidence a boost
Great to hear, glad it has helped. Hopefully you find other stuff on the channel useful too and good luck with your playing
Dude this is so cool like ive been trying to find a good lesson and you totally nailed it!
Thanks!
Great teacher ❤️
@Om0riii After wanting for ages to learn piano I found Turbo Piano Secret and this appears to be the simplest home study system (check it out on google)
YES
@@haraamihan1568 i checked it out and i cant pay any money i am disabled and live on a budget ill stick to youtube for free lessons i have a Teacher and she is doing the lessons for free thanks anyways

Good on you Kyle! I’m 40 and just decided to start playing! Music is ageless and such a great way to express yourself! Good luck buddy!

I almost never comment but couldnt leave this video without thanking you for doing this for free, ive seen a lot of half content, and clickbait because if you want to learn you paid their expensive curse, you give me hope again that i can at least learn the basics withoyt paying 200 dollars, again, thanks for the video i really aprecciate it, looking forward to see more content for begginers
Thanks for the feedback, glad it helped!
I am a pianist and a friend of mine asked me to give my opinion on this channel (and others), since she is keen to start piano (at 35). I have to congratulate you. Although this will never replace (obviously) a teacher, you have done a great job, showing patience, perseverance and knowledge. Well done sir!
One question since u are a pianist?
@@akiko_angel5945 weird question
I don't have money to spend on a teacher, how should I learn piano, through simply piano?, this youtube channel?, wich youtube channel?
Please give me advice on what, I should do.
And did your friend get better through this channel?
Thank you and have a great rest of your day,
Wish you all the best.
Its literally 4 am and I dont even have a piano
Bruh same besides it’s not 4 am
It's 2 am and I got mine this morning
@@kunaljoshi906 how is it going
@Julian Grayson Surprisingly easier to learn if you know playing guitar already
@@kspades2530 At least we can learn to pretend we know how to play piano or to do shadow piano 😂
I'm so impressed by the delivery style and clarity of objectives in this beginner's tutorial. I'm 66, an absolute novice with no musical experience bar learning the recorder in the 60"s at school, too long ago to even remember the notes etc. A latent yearning to play the piano has been propelled by the promise of attainment I felt when watching your video. Very inspiring, thanks.
Thanks for the feedback, really glad it helped you get going! Good luck 🎹
How have you got on? I’m 66 too. It must be a ‘now or never’ thing,
@@suewilliamson7271 I am 50 and this young man encouraged me to start the piano.
61. Started two days ago. Working on scales, first. 😊 I've given myself 3 years (1,000 hours) to figure it out! (Alexis Matinée Pro keyboard.)
I’ve just started learning piano at age 60 and this is by far the most relatable and easy to follow tutorial I’ve come across. Thank you!
My piano hasn't even arrived yet, but this tutorial is looking promising. Think I'll give it a go. Thank you!
Have fun with your new piano!
I'll put it to you like this, I'm definitely not an expert piano player. I've just messed around most of my life, learned how to play the first part of yankee doodle as a kid, just the one hand. I've never ever played using two hands. It was extremely easy for me when watching the tutorial. I never knew those chords existed like that. Now, I feel like a whole thing for me has been opened up to playing piano, because the black notes, I've never understood.
I have no clue how to read sheet music, other than we learned FACE is on the spaces and EGBDF (Every Good Boy Does Fine) is on the lines from bottom to top. No idea what a quarter note is, what an eighth note is or how to apply those to playing. But this tutorial really opened things up for me.
Mine hasn't arrived either....still watching videos in the hope that I'll be an expert by the delivery date!! haha
@@lozza1874 mine has arrived early today. And I gotta tell you... Be. Patient.
IMO a lot looks easier than it actually is. But practice is the key. I for myself do see progress though already so yeah.. Good lick y'all!
@@eden4949 oh fab! Maybe we should share progress somehow? I've had lessons before and I can play guitar so maybe there's hope for me yet 🙂 happy playing!
I really thank you. I've been fascinated with the piano since age 7, i'm now 52. I bought a keyboard, know how to read music, and now I have you. ❤
Fantastic, good luck!
@@PianoFromScratch i'm a french horn player, so this is alien to me but you're a great teacher and I appreciate you taking the time to do this.
My grandad died around 10yr ago and he had a keyboard, its been at my mums ever since his death..never been used by anyone since his death..until yesterday by me. Now I have no idea how to play keyboard really, but I was messing around with the keys/tones ect and managed to teach myself bits of "The final countdown, wonderwall, beat it" granted these will be the absolute basic version of the songs..but it's a start...and had no help ,tutorials or anything whatsoever, So I'm now I'm actually thinking of learning everything from scratch. I will add that I used to be a drummer in many bands for 15years, and can play bits on guitar and bass too..and I get people say if you can play guitar you can play piano /keyboard..let me tell you that's not the case with me,looking at a keyboard and trying to play it is complete alien to me.
I’m sure experience in music in general will help you out as you progress, with your sense of rhythm and your ears and musicality. But yes getting familiar with the actual keyboard layout and technique etc will take some getting used to. Practice often and things start to feel a bit more natural after a while! Good luck!
Try playing Van Halen’s song called ‘Jump’. It’s pretty easy and fun.... I’m a new keyboard player from a guitar background. It sounds great using a ‘Synth Sawtooth’ waveform. 😊
Exact same circumstances here, except for being an drummer in a band - but I have played guitar on and off for a good while. My Grandads keyboard is circa 1999 I think but will be a good place to start!
My heart goes out to those watching this without access to a piano. I feel so incredibly lucky to have a keyboard lying around. I hope you all can get that piano you've been wishing for soon ❤
Thank you for these tutorials. After decades of wishing I could learn piano, at 63, I am finally committing myself to learning to play. I should be ready to play Carnegie Hall by the time I am 163, but in the meantime, I hope to develop a modest set of playing skills. Thanks again.
I’m 66 and thinking of starting. How have you got on? Did you continue?
@@suewilliamson7271 Do it/
I’ve tried a couple of beginner lessons over the last few days and none have been nearly as engaging and enjoyable as this. I had a lot of fun doing this so thank you for taking the time to produce the video. I look forward to watching more!
Glad you enjoyed it, hope the channel helps you learn!
Thanks for making content without the childish thumbnails, super annoying sales pitch youtuber-voice.
You are teaching piano, in a calm and wonderful way, thank you for existing and creating good content!
This is outstanding. I've been to a number of sites which cover learning piano, but this one actually includes some key foundational and technique principles, which you would normally get from a teacher. It's really important to learn proper technique from the start if you plan do get serious. I made that mistake self-learning guitar and had to "unlearn" a bunch of bad habits. Thanks for posting - I'll be checking out your other videos as well.
Glad it was helpful, good luck learning!
I'm 65, was lent a Yamaha 2000 PRS indefinitely, and to cap it off I found your starter lesson. Top stuff. Easy to understand, now I got to train my fingers to easily follow. Got the piano set up on my kitchen table- which means I give myself lots of mini-lessons through out the day as I often have to pass through the kitchen. 😄
GREAT LESSON, MANY THANKS.
my grandpa loves his piano so much... i avoided it for years but now i wanna play it :( tysm for this i really don't know how to start
Awesome, good luck learning. I hope the channel can help you along the way
keep looking for online tools. UA-cam is full of help. best wishes
I’ve been playing piano for a long time (self taught) and I can’t thank you enough for this amazing way of learning piano. NOTHING boring here!! I’ve already shared it with friends. I’m going to do the progression that you suggested of C F Am and G.
I really appreciated how low key and calm your manner is, stellar work.
Thanks, appreciate the feedback, good luck practicing
can you read notes (the ones on paper) ?
@@moiethereal9634 yes, but in a funny way. I had a fake book years ago so I memorized about 12 cords. So I don’t read the base clef, I just read the signature the top. I know where the notes are on the page but only have a vague memory of what each one is called.
So I need the music to play, but I can’t really read it the way most others do, and I can’t play by ear. Pretty mixed up but I get by 😬
I've just turned 65 and have decided that old dogs might be able to learn new tricks! I am finding your style and method really easy to relate to and am hoping that playing the piano will be something I can enjoy in retirement.
That's great, I hope you continue to enjoy playing!
65 here too. just bought very first piano. many thanks for providing your content. can change chords in a week! thanks
I just got my first piano.I am 67 and can't read music but these videos are fantastic for me to learn the basics.There seems to be a huge amount out there on Y T but this is great for the UK trainees! Thank you.
Starting at 40, with my 5 year old daughter. This was very helpful.
Just finally managed to buy my first piano at the age of 42. It’s gonna arrive next week! I’m so excited!
Your vid is just the best of what I found on YT, to get me prepared for my piano journey!
Thanks a lot! Keep making good videos please!
Fantastic tutor 67 yrs just starting out oh my eyes are mashed but so excited to start learning a new chapter in my life yippppe 😂😂😂😂
Great, good luck learning!
You got this never too late!
You've got this good sir.👍🏼👏🏼
I’m 70 and just started 🤣🤣
I just received a keyboard. I have always wanted to learn. I am 51 and stumbled upon your video, i will be watching and trying to learn. Thank you for your hard work. I am not ready to invest in lessons just starting out and you make this possible. I think this is going to take a lot of practice getting fingers to do right. You make it clear where to begin thanks
i am from india and the place where i live piano teachers are rare or i can say no...but finally i found really a good piano teacher here thanks for wasting your time and uploading vidio on youtube
u rock...
lots og luv from india
Best Beginners lesson on UA-cam. No Bullshit, no paid Course - just the basics and it was exactly what I was searching for.
I hope, you make your money.
wow dude, this is 1 year+ worth of lessons, excercises and practice! thank you so much!
i had a piano sitting in my room for years. now it's the time to learn how to play it!
I’ve watched a lot of beginners lessons since I’m looking for my very first piano and to kill the wait I was already watching lessons/tutorial, but this is definitely the best so far.
Same!
Hi, my daughter is starting piano at the age of 7. I am 42 and I will like to learn at her same pase. I will study her books and your channel. I have been interested in piano for many years and felt intimidated. Now it is time to get started. Thanks for this boost of hope!!! 🙏
Found you and won't let go now. Hubs bought me a keyboard for Christmas because I've always said I wanted to play; had no idea where to start and then came across you. You are clear, concise, easy to follow and I just know that if it is in me you will bring it out. Thank you so much.
Thanks for the feedback! I hope you enjoy learning
I purchased an electric piano. It sat in my office for nearly a year… Messing around here and there. Hardly learning. I had the best intentions… I finally told myself that I purchased this piano for a reason, not to become the most brilliant piano player… but to at the very least learn the chords and such and have fun along the way. Anything worth while takes time, commitment, and consistency, I suppose. So I said enough is enough and went to UA-cam. Landed here and now I feel a motivation and a passion now. My wife and I were making up songs with the chords you provided in this song and even she was impressed! Lol. So, long story short, thank you for the content. And to anyone that’s been putting this on the back burner waiting for inspiration or motivation… don’t. Just start doing it and the other will follow.
Thanks again!
For someone like me who is beginning from scratch, this video is realy helpful. Thank you!
Glad to hear! Thanks for the feedback
How are you doing at it now
This is easily the best beginner tutorial I’ve seen on YT. Thanks for sharing this with the world.
just finished your brilliant first lecture ... studied every word for 3 days and am here now ...thank you sir
I fear you may have sent me on an instrumental treasure hunt. I started at 8 years old laying keyboard for three years and then stopped, rediscovering my love of music in my 20s with the guitar. Love it because it’s so nuanced and versatile. The piano would make a fantastic ear training and accompaniment tool, not to mention a thing to do when guitar gets wearing... not that it has managed that yet. But at times it does disturb my housemate. Even with a headset an electric guitar still makes noise. I want a keyboard. Now. Much of that basic music theory and keyboard layout knowledge is still there. Ready and waiting. So thanks man.
You’re the best! I’ve been playing for 2 years and finally started performing( in front of people and it’s 😧. Hopefully it gets easier the more I do it. Thanks for sharing this.
I am a COMPLETE beginner and just got a keyboard. Amongst many lesson videos, yours is very helpful with many tips!
The best lesson I've found on UA-cam so far. Thank you!!! ❤️
As a guitar player that knows minimal theory and just prefers using my ear: I really appreciate this. I'm ordering an 88 key keyboard and I'll dig into your videos. Thanks so much for taking the time to make these thoughtful videos.
Hey man, just wanna say this is by far the best tutorial I've found for piano online, both in terms of delivery and presentation. Such a shame your channel hasn't been discovered by more people like me (complete beginners!!!) - please don't stop what you're doing, it's so cool that this kind of content is on the public domain for people who can't afford lessons. Thanks! I look forward to improving under your tuition :)
Thanks for the feedback dude, glad it's been helpful for you. Yea it's hard to get videos out to an audience when you're starting out but beginning to see a bit of traction. Like and comments like this really help though so thanks!
I’m a practical person rather than a visual person because I like to learn by practical examples rather the learn from sheet music, so this is perfect for me.. once I can do the basics, then reading music will become easier, hopefully.. brilliant lesson..🙂
By far the best beginner video I've found on youtube yet!
Appreciate the feedback
Hey @Piano from scratch I am 44 years old and just decided I would learn, so I dug out my daughters old 61 keyboard and plugged it in.... not too worried about sound at the moment. Followed a few tutorials and managed to learn a good deal of christmas lights by coldplay and now learning Paradise by coldplay too.... its tough going but I am stubborn.
This tutorial has really helped as I didn't want to get into bad habits and you deliver a very calm way of emphasising the importance of form and getting the basics right. Thank you for that! I feel that the exercises of just learning to play hands together and getting form correct has already accelerated my learning. Good man. We thank you.
Complete beginner here with trouble learning/understanding. I've gone through other tutorials and always get very frustrated and confused, but this tutorial is absolutely amazing easy to follow. I feel much much more comfortable at my keyboard and was able to understand and grasp everything you said. Thank you SO much ❤️
Good on making taking the step to learn piano! I see a lot of people get discouraged when it gets confusing.
I’ve been playing for 2 years (self taught) and finally started performing in front of people and it’s 😧. Hopefully it gets easier the more I do it. Thanks for sharing this.
I had lost hope of learning how to play it,but with this, am back on trail,big up
I just turned 73 and bought a digital piano. I have always wanted to play piano, but started with guitar. Now I have time for both. Your lessons resonate well with me, thank you
This works like therapy for my old tired brain, I can follow this. My memory is so poor that when I restart this video I get excited because it seems easier every session. I don’t think I’ll play as well as Billy Preston but that’s the way God planned it.
Yes! Music is therapy!
I tried to learn a couple years ago, but got bored after about a week. I think because I was watching videos of teachers that were quite boring, so it made me get bored. They were definitely not teaching chords on day one. Your style of teaching is quite captivating. If I knew I could have learnt these simple things on day one, I probably would have stuck with it longer. This video made me feel an element of excitement again. I'm going to give it another shot. Thank you.
This video was amazing! As someone who has never attempted to learn an instrument before this was incredibly easy to follow and understand.
It took so much brain power to coordinate my hands to move correctly for the chords. But after practicing the progression for even 10 minutes it felt much more natural.
Can’t wait to keep working my way through your videos. Thank you!
I'm 75, I've just started learning piano again after about 30 years. And you are a great help. Thank you.
to play piano you have to keep your fingers moving all the time!
to playan electric keyboard you only have to play the chord with your left hand and the melody with your right hand, your left hand holds the chord, until your melody reaches the next chord, giving full smooth music all the while!
fantastic just started piano, great to have a common sense tutor talking piano, thank you more tutorial please I'm becoming very warm to learning piano.
You got my full attention at clair de lune
Me too 😂
started today with my new keyboard. I'm an absolute beginner. Really love these exercises. great way to start my musical journey. thanks
Wow, in this single lesson I accidentaly found out how to play fragments of my favorite songs. Thank you so much, this lesson made me so confident and this just starts sounding nice. You've become officially my piano teacher =)
I have a keyboard sitting in a box for almost 7 years.. I saw your video and have started playing it, in a right way... Thank you.. (like /reply comment will motivate learning/practicing 😊)
Him: *starts playing moonlight sonata out of nowhere
Me: *dies
I am a complete beginner, and bought a keyboard (as a start, to learn the ropes - the end game is a piano) I love your channel, I am in the UK and it is so much easier listening to an English speaker with a gentle pace to his voice. Thank you so much, I am loving my new hobby. Took my son to piano when he was young (usually dragged by his hair, lol) - He now loves playing, so it was worth it! I have always loved the gentle sound of the piano - Einaudi being one of my faves. Thank you so much for your kindness putting these fab lessons together. I found the last exercise the hardest for some reason! On to the next video, thank you again :)
Thanks a Trillion!!! Definitely learned a lot. Love the improv lessons. Definitely a great way to start building confidence
I’ve searching a lot of tutorials and this is the best one.
“Don’t be afraid to sound bad”
As a beginner violinist I think I’m probably desensitized to that 😬
Thanks for putting these together!
I just bought a small keyboard from a local Uber driver, random I know, and I’ve always wanted to learn how to play piano. I’m 46 now, but when I was 10 I used to play clarinet though I don’t remember anything. I tried a couple other videos first that were recommended but they spent no time with learning where the notes were in respect to getting comfortable playing those notes with a specific fingers and I was totally lost with those videos. However, your video has made it that I feel not only comfortable at the pace you work but I actually feel like I’m learning something! I know it’s gonna take a long time to get to where I want to be, able to play as an outlet of creativity, and I’m very grateful for your videos and I know will help me build the foundations I need. Anybody got recommendations for a good sewing channel too?
Thank you for an easy to follow beginners lesson. Just long enough to give me something to practice ready for the next lesson. Look forward to the next one!
My keyboard just arrived today and I wanted to hop on some practice so here I am :)) THANK U SO SO MUCH
so far you tutorial fits my level.. the clarity n patience during teaching fits my level.. some encouragement along the way is good..thanks for your hardwork..
Thanks for the feedback! Glad it has helped you out
What i learnt "get the fingering right first" helped a lot thx
This is great! Im a 56 year old beginner. I've been SLOWLY working through the Alfred's book for a few months now, but find it a bit dull and uninspiring. I also think that sticking to one source of information doesnt really suit me. I was beginning to lose interest and needed something to get me away from just learning cheesy tunes. This seems much better. I'm now planning on following your videos. Is there a particular order you'd recommend?
Thank you so much. This has been a real inspiration 😊👍
Same ive been trying to learn video game music and its pretty hard
Now you are one of the best!! Piano teachers on UA-cam!.. I kid you not.. because you break it down on how how this Instrument is suppose to be played when learning.. Thank you😊🙏👍
This is an excellent lesson for me as a beginner. All the questions I had were answered. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful! Just uploaded a tutorial on playing C major scale you may want to tackle next! Here's a link ua-cam.com/video/i-buhBdqwtY/v-deo.html
Thank you for taking time to put this video together for us that are intimidated by getting to learn how to play a piano. It's the best "intro to piano" I've come across, and it's helped me a ton. I appreciate the lack of unnecessary tricks and tips that always seemed to confuse me when watching other beginner videos. I've watched this a couple of times today while playing along, and I already feel that much more confident. I will continue to dedicate at least an hour of my day to my keyboard and hope to some day impress myself. Thanks again!
I feel like I'm actually learning especially with my fingers starting to think to get comfy on the piano on the position
That’s great!
Thanks for the video. I just bought my keyboard(Roland Gokeys) yesterday. I'm not new to music(I play guitar and bass for the last 17 years). I decided to learn piano/keyboard because I want to improve my music knowledge since piano is more logical when it comes to note presentation, unlike with guitar which has a lot of redundant parts in frets. I appreciate the help for us piano beginners😁😁
Very helpful video…..
I’m your fan already…. I’m learning piano, and your videos are great and easy to understand by beginners…👌🏽❤️
Probably just found the best piano teacher on earth.
😊
Dude this is so cool. Ive been playing metal/punk guitar for years. Always by ear. I bought an 85 casio for 20 bucks just for fun. Ive been messing around but i wanna learn for real. This was a lot of help man. Thank you so much
Nice man, glad it helped
OMG thank you so much! I bought a keyboard last month to teach myself during lockdown, and struggled so hard with keeping all the fingers resting on the keys when playing one note, they seemed to be lifted automatically each time... From your video I learned in the first few minutes that I have to sit further away from the keyboard than I had been until now, and it's SO MUCH better already...I'm so happy!! ❤️
Glad it helped! Good luck with your progress
I been trying to find a good video for a long time and here it is. Thanks. Now I need to coordinate my finger movements
Glad you found it helpful man. Yes getting control of your fingers takes a bit of work and time to get used to but stick with it, it’s going to start feeling more natural with time. Check out the major scales playlist on my channel, starting with C as a good next step. Good luck!
Wow!! Took delivery this morning of my very first digital piano, after endless consideration and weighing up various pros and cons, I decided on the Casio CDP - S110. Definitely happy with it so far, very positive first impression. ☺️
I’m nearly 50, and decided to finally embark on my piano learning journey, I’m already thinking that I should have taken to step a long time back! But here we are, it seems so weird going back to my tablet device, and even trying to type a comment, my brain and fingers seem to be stuck in piano brains mode! I’m so pleased that I found this video, it was very helpful in providing a from scratch foundation, you know what to do once the piano is out of the box and in front of you.
I really enjoyed the lesson, I was progressing quite nicely until the chord progressions and being able to switch groups of fingers according to which chords are playing, and moving between 1-3-5 and 1-2-4, it definitely feels unintuitive! However, I recognise and acknowledge that this is a very normal feeling, that will continue until this new system of brain finger coordination beds in - if it evens beds in!!!! 🤣🤣
Thank you for the time and effort to produce such a lesson, it’s a lesson that I will be using as my “from scratch” foundation. 🎹✨
I am 50 in 3 months and have always wanted to play the piano. I’m finding it hard to find vids for truly 💯 beginners. I will listen to this. Very positive comments from beginners on this
Wow. I really loved this!! I’ve watched quite a few “start here beginner” videos and I love your focus on position AND learning to use your ear and improvise!! I’ve been focused on “learning a song” but if I learn to LISTEN the sky’s the limit. Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful. Learning actual songs and pieces is still really important too though! Copying is a big part of learning a new language
i just bought my keyboard two days ago and ive been searching for someone that actually explains something and there you are THANK YOUUUUUUU IM DEF GOING TO TRAIN ON EVERYTHING YOU STATED ON THE VID
Being a total musical rookie at 39yo, I'm landing here after receiving a gift of a launchkey mini. Leaving a note on my journey to see if I can utilize youtube to effectively teach myself how to play/produce music. Thanks for providing a stop on the path forward. These are some very valuable insights, which I'm sure will be most helpful with learning to physically play. Now to just find a good place to learn how to set up the keyboard and how to use ableton. WOW, this is a complex way to go about it. But, makes learning to play a piano type instrument an option for someone on a low budget and limited space during a pandemic.
This is great!! I’m a guitarist and just started learning piano. This video was really helpful. Cheers!!
I have never thought I'd adapt to soemthing this fast in one day. This tutorial is so well done and easy to digest!
This is absolutely helpful. I started playing the piano during the Corona lockdown for 3 months and let it slide after that but I'm picking it up again properly and your lessons are great! Thank you!
Glad it's helped!
I want you to know how much I appreciate you and what you are doing with your teaching videos. Thank you! I am 73 years old and have always wanted to learn to play the piano, and now with your free instruction, I am well on my way! I am sure that you have put a lot of time and effort into your videos. Thank you so much for providing free piano lessons! Keep up the good work!
No problem, I hope you keep enjoying playing!
wow he still responds after a year
This is literally just sick! You’re the best!
I don't know anything about music. But I want to learn piano because whenever I listen some piano tune I just love with and I want to learn from many times but not workout. From many days I just watching UA-cam videos, download apps and so many things but didn't find anything that I understand and go ahead with. But when I show your video and I realised that this is it.. you nailed it man. I inspired again. Yes I can. Thank you so much. Keep looking for your videos. You are hope for people. 🙏
Wow this really helped me I’ve created a lot of little tunes from these chords. Thank you bro I’m gonna keep watching your vids ❤️
This is one of the best youtube lessons for beginners out there
