I have seen dozens of piano lessons online, but this is one of the best!
it's awesome and just beautiful and also kinda crazy how just a singular sound can change the feelings in a tune
Right? Try and experiment with different single notes to really get to know their flavour so you can add them to your grab bag - your musical vocabulary. Thanks for your comment Hakan. Cheers, Coen.
One of the best piano lessons I have ever seen or heard. I love how you first stripped the chords from the right hand built a rhythm using the timing of the beat one key at a time and then put the chords back in the right hand again. Absolutely brilliant!!!!
Can't believe I just found your channel. This is SUCH a great video that truly demonstrates good pop improv technique. Every single minute of the video gets better. Subscribed!
Thanks so much for that Chris! Very happy to read you like it :)
@@pianocouture same here found you on pinterest
i've been looking for some good instruction to improvising for a very long time and u really opend my mind :( thx man
I've asked multiple people what type of "pattern" and "rules" you have to follow when improvising, and no one could give me an answer I understood. I was beginning to think I was asking the wrong question, but this is exactly what i was looking for. Try these chords, this key will sound good with it. Get used to that, now add in this key, get the timing down. Now add in another key, etc. That's perfect. can't wait to get home and do this.
this is sooo helpful.. so insightful to approach things rhythmically. you're an awesome teacher! thank you!
Very Useful - Really appreciate this where I'm at now.
This was probably one of the most profound of lessons that I have ever learned! Very cool! It opens up a whole new avenue that I’ve been searching for.
Thank you sir this has shifted my thinking and playing
I wish I've known this channel before, this made me sound like a professional player! I thought doing some kind of pattern was hard, but it wasn't! Thanks 💕
Love the way you break everything down and make it really approachable
Really helpful stuff! I was actually surprised that I couldn’t improvise because I don’t struggle with playing songs, as you said, but when it comes to solos or improvisation, I always come up with a blank mind. This video showed me that piano improvisation is easy as 123 if you put in effort and know your keys!
Appreciate the work you put in this must have taken a long time to edit!
Thanks Kieffer! Appreciate your comment :) Cheers

I was very frustrated about feeling like I wasn’t learning anything (sheet music doesn’t interest me) so I’m looking more Into the improvising sector, and this is the BEST video I’ve found so far, it’s very thorough, explains each idea/concept well, and gives simple to understand example
That wasn't a simple to understand explanation of how u felt about this. Ha!
Your teaching greatly complements what I've already learned. THANKS!
Nice..Enjoyed the lesson..
I randomly fell on your video of 'I stand alone' from Glasper and that was so well done and explained that I kept watching on and on your videos. This is great work and this is very very helpful for beginners like me. So, THANK YOU for this.
Greetings from Belgium !
Awesome Pierre! That's wonderful to hear :) Thank you very much for your comment. Cheers from Holland! Coen.
This was the first video of yours I've seen. Loved it! Thank you for your cool laidback presentation. I have a feeling I'll be watching a lot more!
Best improv video ever. My improv just got ten times better.
Best step by step improvise lesson. Tks
Wonderful, easy to follow presentation. Thank you so much!
a quick thank you for using your talent in such an effective way. Keep up the good work!
This is EXACTLY what I have been searching for! Thank you!
i would love more content like this. and some classes about scales too.
pianolingo.com ;)
This is just what I have been looking for and very clearly explained. Thanks so much.
Dude thanks so much I've been wanting to get better at improvising for ages and this is the best video I've found!
simple elegant and profoundly understated
The rhythmic concept between the left and right hand was very helpful to me, so instead of "blasting all chords at once.
I like the way you move your head to the music...
Firstly gratitude to you......
I was exactly looking for this concept & you just provided the same .....VERY NICE OF YOU :)
This is really cool. Love this sort of lesson that gives you tools to adapt and use elsewhere. Thank you.
Thank you. That was the best lesson I’ve ever had. Going to sign up
Man I love your perspective of pedagogy
Thanks for existing... I am glad i found this video..
Excellent video tutorial. Thanks for posting it. Subscribed.
that's great! thank you very much
Great tutorial. Well made video. Very clear teaching. Awesome job!
8:32 epic MIXOLYDIAN scale in C: starting with introducing Bb with the help of its 5th (F) in the left so that Bb isn't the awkward loner out of the key of C. This throws the 7th degree (B) down to Bb, changing 3 chords in the key. The V Chord (G) turns gets turned into v (Gm) giving the root C more pronouncement and spotlight. The awkward vii chord (awkward Bdim) is loosened out to (B) which eases the tension at the end of the scale and makes you sigh. Finally the iii chord (Em) is shrunk to (Edim) again giving more pronouncement in the root. Only downside is that you either have to move to a new key or you almost HAVE to keep injecting the Bb.
Or its just F key. :P
you deserved the likes man
That’s amazing. Have been looking for a video like this for ages! Thanks man
very instructive, and you are rigth, simplicity above all
Fantastic Piano channel.. Thank you

Thanks Coen! That really changed my way of improvising... it just sounds very much alive after implementing that tip! (:

Great lesson!
Really enjoyed your teaching! I love learning to improvise when playing and working on getting more comfortable performing. Thank you for putting so much thought into this for your viewers! Trying to guess your accent - sounds a but Norwegian but I probably am wrong. Haha
Thank you so much. This was so helpful
Please make a tutorial video about ways to ending a song ?
Wow you’re awesome dude. Thank you!
I want to know how he did that on-screen piano overlay!
Do you have a video on how to know what chords go together well?
Fantastic teaching ! ❤️🇦🇬
Fantastic video! Thank you
This is a great video!!! Very helpful
Very good, thank you.
great lesson and.... congrats for that nice Juno 60!
That was so freaking awesome!
loving it!
very helpful! thanks so much!!
Excellent tips buddy. Thumbs up :)
omg. such a good class!
Am looking forward to seeing the clip, but does the backing music have to overpower the guy trying to speak?
Does it matter if the riffs or fills clashes with the melody (singers) notes? Forming a chord that does not exist? e.g. the singer is C and the riff/fill is on D... or u can argue that a C, D is one of the sus chords?
Thank you so much! You are fantastic! Where are you based? Your tutorials are really great and very well explained as well as very well produced :)
can you give us a tutorial on how to play chords like A/G, D/F#. thanks
The note on the left of / is played as a chord by right hand. The note on the right is the note that you play with your left hand.
Yeah All that means is, say you have a D/F#, the D chord would be played with the right hand, the F# is what’s in the bass so you would play that with a left hand
Very helpfull!
AWESOME!!!!!
Thanks for this! :D
Did you go surfing before you filmed this?
Lol
Great tutorial!! I am wondering how did you get the animated keyboard on your screen?? I am trying to do something similar with my piano students.

Wow you look good!
I decided to buy the tutorial pack on this subject but I was disappointed because I thought there would be more knowledge added to what you explained in the youtube video. Do you explain anything more elsewhere? Regarding accompanying skills? Ok Thank you.
Hi Sara, thanks for buying this lesson's Tutorial Pack! Since you were not fully satisfied, we have immediately refunded the purchase amount. Yes, our method Hack the Piano hackthepiano.com is completely built on-, from- and for learning about these types of things and this kind of playing. :)
Regarding this Tutorial Pack and this particular lesson: sincere apologies that it wasn't to your liking. Although many of the Tutorial Packs contain extra parts (video) of the lesson not available on UA-cam, on top of the handout, MIDIs and audio file, this one has indeed just those extra learning tools since this was in fact the whole lesson.
The lesson is however part of a "pack" (kind of like a mini course) that is soon to be released on our new website pianolingo.com.
Hope that helps!
Cheers, Coen.
Ok thanks so much. I really appreciate it. now I am wondering if I can give you a private lead sheet and if you can tell me how you would accompany it.....Basically, how much would you charge to help me privately. I am not sure how to message you privately regarding this. I have looked at your website, a lot of it I already know. My questions are more advanced probably. Again thanks again.
Hi Sara, you can book a Skype lesson with me if you'd like here: piano-couture.com/checkout/?product_id=78599
Cheers, Coen
I appreciate the lesson. But it could do well without the Deuc Ex sound effects
