Joking around in your speciality is the true sign of a real professional, you are so above your material, and you could make it as a stand-up comic any day.
Christian, your knowledge of music theory is deep and expansive. I am always humbled by what I still need to learn but day by day, I understand more and more. Thanks for not holding back!
This video is perfect, thank you Christian💪 i wish you could do more video like this where you take some classic jazz song and tell us how to improvise with some blues notes🙏🙏🙏🥺
всего 7 нот в октаве. и такое чудо из них сотворить .Волшебство !
Thanks Christian! Interesting history about your hotel years 👏👏👏🦊🎹🎹
Enjoying your video's. Explains a lot. Thanks for your contributions.
Yes, you are a superstar on the piano. Great impressive talent, you are. Thanks you, again, Cristian, for another helpful and inspiring performance.
Incredible video as always Christian!!
Beautiful playing 👏🏼
the embellishments are very classy I know it will take some time ,but very smooth and do-able!
That was fun listening to your tips on how to become a professional pianist.
You are the best piano teacher in internet. I know to play, harmony... but you can teach me some fealings that I din´t realize at now (sorry for my english, I am from Spain). I saw a lot of videos and it´s very funny to hear you. Than you Christian. You will have a lot of subs in few time.
Thanks for that incredibly tutorial!!
GRANDE MR. FUCHS !!!!💪👏👋🙏
Muy bueno siempre la toco,gracias por esos tips.
This is a great lesson ! Very informative ! Thank you 🙏🌹
love it, thanks you for the video !
Great lesson
Well done😊
Hi Christian- great lesson and story. Do you suggest a particular video to make it easy and sound good of course to play bar/lounge/cocktail music? I find myself all over the board with what to learn to prep me for such a scenario. My goal/bucket list is to play in a boutique hotel lounge a mile from our house some day. I played on their grand piano before for just a few minutes and it was the coolest experience. I’d play for free as I’m pursuing this out of passion and not money(for now). I took all your basic blues tutorials and enjoy those sounds and a couple of jazz ones but still feel like I need someone to say learn this tutorial and that’s all you need to entertain for hours. This scenario would be in the lobby and not in front of a large bar crowd. Just easy listening, soft bluesy jazz music. Thanks for a suggestion to give me some direction and confidence to go for it :). Thanks Christian! Appreciate it.
I have the same dream - I hope to find a piano in a hotel lobby or bad in Copenhagen where I can come and play for free just for the fun of it :-) not good enough (yet) to ask for any kind of pay, but would love to build up some experience and do this as a side hustle once I retire in 20 years :-)
@@clausmossbeck7724 Why wait 20 years.. never know where things will be then. Maybe Christian will give us both good sound advice to get us there sooner than we think. I know I don’t want to wait until I retire.. I want to enjoy the experience now while I can remember it :)
Good point - I’m taking recorded lessons from Piano With Jonny and have a jazz pianist teacher for in person lessons. Hopefully that will give me the confidence and skills to be allowed to play in a lounge somewhere nice, in a few years - jazz piano is just so darn complicated, feel like I’m at base camp trying to climb Mount Everest
@@clausmossbeck7724 good for you. Yes, jazz can be complicated. I’ve viewed many videos by Johnny and every time I do, I think the same thing. Way too complicated and goes way overboard on naming fancy chords and takes his lessons one step to far to make things more difficult than they should be. That is why Christian’s style is so appreciated- simple enough to learn, yet still full of the rich sounds we all want to emulate. Good luck with things. Let’s challenge one another and see who can get behind the lounge piano first.:)
@@pianopaulus6774 deal :) best of luck my friend
Fantastic session! I was looking for this for years but only now I can grasp what you teaching here. So, perfect timing.
Guess what, I just became a patreon member!
That's great, thanks a lot! All my Patrons will receive a secret SUPERBOOST that puts them miles ahead of all others. Just observer your hands...
@@ChristianFuchsBlues basically like blessed by the pope via the television set, right? Got it.
you got it!
Gorgeous
Come on, admit it. You changed your UA-cam name just for the comment under this tutorial, right? :-)
@@ChristianFuchsBlues , No, I did not. 🇧🇷🎶
I play cocktail piano, I have learned good stuff from you...
I do play in a local hotel on a baby grand and know the sound of cutlery .ha
Ha ha, that's true. A typical sound in that profession. And if you're lucky, there is no espresso machine around...
Lmao and nice lesson too. Thank you and keep up the good work!
HEY CAPTAIN BERLIN. AS USUAL YOU ARE SO APPRECIATED MY BROTHER. FOR YOUR EXCEPTIONAL STYLE AND AN AWESOME AND LIKEABLE PERSONALITY.
CAPTAIN CANADA 🇨🇦 DOESN'T COMPLIMENT ANYONE LIKE I'M DOING FOR NO REASON MY FRIEND. I HAVE TO ADMIT THAT LEARNING PIANO FROM YOU IS NOT ONLY A LEARNING EXPERIENCE BUT YOU HAVE THE NATURAL AND RARE GIFT TO MAKE MY SOUL FEEL BETTER. I'M SURE YOU HAVE MANY AMAZING STORIES OF YOUR PAST HOTEL LOUNGE TIMES. I WAS A BARTENDER FOR OVER 20 YEARS IN CLUBS ALL OVER VANCOUVER AND MY BROTHER YOU MAY HAVE TROUBLE BELIEVING ALL THE CRAZY THINGS I'VE WITNESSED.
JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR MAKING ME BETTER FROM MY SOUL AND MY FINGERS TRANSLATE THAT POSITIVE SPIRIT TO THE PIANO. DON'T EVER CHANGE BROTHER. 👍🍁👍🍁🇨🇦
Your're already my favourite Canadian. :-) Shared first place with Glenn Gould, let's say.
@@ChristianFuchsBlues
I'm so honored Christian. Had to Google Glenn Gould though.
Michael Buble may have been more accurate but you made my day regardless.
You are actually a near mirror image of a very famous Canadian and it's like you were separated at birth.
Willie Pickton has made countless women scream here in Canada. You must look him up sir. It's your doppelganger Christian.
Love ya . Best piano teacher ever!
Bobbi Sucrose is an awesome name. Like Bert Sugar.
@@rickrocketts183 THANKS BRO. RICK ROCKETTS IS RIGHT UP THERE WITH EVIL KNIEVEL.
@@bobbisucrose2605 WE COULD BE A WRESTLING TAG TEAM AND RULE ALL
Listening to this 4:40 i feel my troubles washing away already
Hi Christian. I love your playing and videos. I made a few videos playing piano at Costco recently. 🎹
Hopefully not in Bermudas. :-)
Thanks Christian. My goal is to get a hotel/lounge gig. I have bought a number of your arrangements and am trying to build a repertoire. Do you have a Patreon channel?
I love that question! :-) www.patreon.com/blueswithchristian
Another entertaining and informative video! I'm wondering... during your time at all those hotels, were you the type of pianist that was able to just play any song that someone came and requested?
Not any, but many.
Question, I assumed that the C blues scale consisted of; C, Eb, F, F#, G, and Bb, but you are showing me completely different, can you check this please.
It's the MAJOR Blues scale! I also show it in the video. ;-)
Maybe a lesson on use of Sustain pedal ?
Just UA-cam search my name + sustain ;-)
You could have made way more money doing a Netflix comedy special just saying. Thanks for putting your comedy aside and teaching piano.
They've asked me many times. Sometimes a man just gotta refuse.
Christian, might you tell what were some of the songs with swing and boogie beat that you played at the hotels? Great lesson! Thank you!.
I might do a video on repertoire, cause more people might be interested...
@@ChristianFuchsBlues, I would definitely be interested in repertoire!!!! Please do!! I can play the piano, and I play well. I'm currently in a 3 piece jazz band but am looking at doing some solo work. I'd love to feel more confident about how to line up a "setlist" or even just have an idea of how tunes should ebb and flow, one into the next, in order to keep it interesting for an audience but allow them to eat and talk, perhaps even dance a little, and keep the right atmosphere... over the course of 2 or 3 or 4 HOURS. Play a song? No problem, in lots of styles. How to lay it all out, I struggle. I'm pretty sure I can get some gigs. Then what?!! (And that hasn't even gotten into getting paid, which I think would be a valuable subject as well.) I know it's an old thread but maybe you'll see this. Thanks!
I just want to play at the train station, but I am not good enough to entertain people for more than 15 minutes.
Maybe start with a bus stop and work your way up..;-)
I never got such a job.
Perhaps I should have played worse than Horowitz. But I couldn't...
That’s tragic.
Appreciate your style boss
