I’m in my sixties and am so glad that someone as young as you is breaking down my fav kinda music. Am going to practice this on my keyboard that I bought a few years ago. Thanks Bro. And so this is how music gets to be handed down to the next generation. Long live funk and jazz! I just subscribed you
I'm all Funked Up and I Love it. Great lesson Adam. I always wanted to learn this style. I downloaded the backing tracks and they are the key to practicing this. Thank You. Keep them coming. I Love this channel.
Love this ! What Nord do you play ? I’m mainly an acoustic piano player so like the feel of 88 weighted keys but want the range of sounds and need to diversify for my band !
NICE!! TKC...for future reference, could you add a Midi file tutorial of the lesson to download? The Old Man learn faster that way. Incredible and funky improvisation SKILLS...SWEET!!🎹
Thanks for this amazing video. Great to play along. I was wondering, could you also do a video on how to create backing tracks for funk? Systems and sounds used etc. Thanks in advance.
Your ROCK! !! 1st video that was clear and to the point , hands on approach with handy examples, no mumbo jumbo and not rocket science music theory. another sub here!!
Hey everyone! Great video enjoyed and learned so much from it. I would like to know how to study those of beat left hand thumb finger rhythms. To have the freedom to put them any where
Hi Adam. I am loving your lessons and learning a lot from you... especially the recent inversions lessons you did. You may be already planning this...though I said I would comment a request incase...any chance of a similar Runthrough of 'playing The Blues on Piano' might be possible? Would love to learn some piano blues chops. I am in the beginner bracket...playing about 1.5yrs...loving the journey. Thanks for all! Brian
If I can ever find the space, I'll get my keyboard out and use it! In the meanwhile, I'll use ma gee-tar. I can do all these things on my axe. BTW, I do the "slur" on the 3rd too. It gives it the sound. Thanks, I like funk, too! 👍 👌 🤪
Your content is awesome! Surely there must be a way for me to send you a cup of coffee or something? I feel guilty when I download your free content. Lol. I don’t have time at the moment to commit to a course. You are an excellent teacher.
when you improvise with the blues scale, do you change the scale according to the chord changes or you do stick to the G blues scale for the entire chord progression ?
I’ve just discovered your channel. Really enjoying your approach to the piano and theory. Feels fresh. Another great piano track to think about covering is Maybe I’m Amazed by Paul McCartney.
Why not call those 7th chords flat 7th chords since the 7th degree is being lowered and not apart of the key? C7 seems like it should use the B note instead of the Bb in the key of C or G
Cmaj7 has the B natural from the major scale and Cmin7 has the Bb from the minor scale. C7 is known as a "dominant seventh" and actually comes from the Mixolydian scale with a major's 3rd and a minor's 7th. Seventh chord notation is a little confusing at first! In the key of C there's only one dominant chord (G7 = GBDF), but in funk and blues we go a little crazy with borrowed dominant chords from outside the key! Dominant 7s have a strong counter-clockwise pull around the Circle of Fifths.
Eeeyy You can write some cool funky lyrics with that notes on, like, I m on the G7 but I’m going back to C….7 that’s right my friend get funky with it ! Semi tone underneath It’s so subtle! You don’t even know when the funk comes oaaauut yeah !😊 can anybody please make a funk song of what you say in the video ? That would be sick isn’t it? Regards Man just a little bit of funk is enough to trigger that funk inside yyyeeeeaaahh ! A big like!!
First, thanks for the video. Suggestion that would REALLY help me out: please don't add slides and smudges during the "let me do this really slow for you" demos. You have no idea how much those mess me up. I mean it's fatal to the process and they just don't need to be there. You already know how to play like that and I'm, as the learner, being actively messed up by something that can just be left out. Thanks.
Remember, as a learner, I'm watching my hands, my keyboard, your hands, your keyboard, your upper note tracker, trying to do a rhythm I don't have down. I'm not joking when I saw this simple thing is a real problem. This is called the "curse of knowledge." You probably don't even realize your doing it.
Did the clav really sound like that on the old Electros? I mean it's super funky, but sounds more like a clav and a wurlitzer layered? Maybe it's just subharmonics from the distortion, but I really don't remember it sounding like that back when I had my Electro 2.
@@thekeyscoach nice! I was sure something was off. I restored 2 Clavinets and 4 Wurlies so far, so my ears are pretty sensitive to these things. The blend does sound really cool, though. After posting I realised that it actually reminds me a lot of the Hohner Clavinet/Pianet Duo sound as well, so you could actually get that type of sound fully analog :)
@@eddiemakessomegoodvideosal7014 oh wow! I hadn‘t looked up clavinet priced in years… when did that happen?! Holy sh.. in my mind they were like 400 bucks…

very nice
What is the BPM?
never realized 3rd inversion 7th chord could move so freely within the mixolydian scale in that voicing, brilliant! many thanks!
Thanks Chris! Glad you enjoyed it! I use that mixolydian trick in my playing all the time - super useful!
WOW that Improvise Riff Nasty- Gooood Groove.!!!!!!!😊😊😊😊

Hi Brian - so glad you’re enjoying the lessons. Great idea! Keep your eyes peeled in the next few months 🚀
Pure gentleman!
Have a great weekend
Bro u have a talent 4 teaching, thanks 4 sharing!!!
Thanks for the lesson, very cool video. I look forward to lurking the other videos in your channel 👍
Awesome, thank you!
Thank for Video a lot. Can I have a question that how can I layer sound for funky style or how can I choose the right Tone for funky ?
Cool lesson, thanks! 👍🎉
Glad you liked it!
Yeah babee! I'm a star already and I can't even do it right yet.
This is groovy with a capital ❤
🙌
Fantastic stuff, subscribed!

Dear Coach, thanx for the excellent lesson. Can you please explain whats in the patch of the nord?
when you improvise with the blues scale, do you change the scale according to the chord changes or you do stick to the G blues scale for the entire chord progression ?
You can do either! Maybe start with the G blues - then start changing the scale for each chord in the sequence.
Your videos always are the best!
Many many thanks for the free PDF GodBless you forever
You are very welcome!
SUPER FKNN AWESOME!!!
Brilliant video
Thanks Liam!
we even have an original HOHNER Clavinet C at home 🙂
Killer vid! Love your videos so far! TYSM
You're late! 🤣🤣
Love Funk vids, great stuff, Adam, Thanks! ✊🎶
Well spotted! 😉 This one took a little while to put together!
hey! i´'m playing with my nord electro and it seems that mine don´t produce that keyoff sound as yours do. What sound are you using?
I'm actually using a sound from Logic - Funk Clav which I've then tweaked.
Did both already! ❤❤❤
I’ve just discovered your channel. Really enjoying your approach to the piano and theory. Feels fresh. Another great piano track to think about covering is Maybe I’m Amazed by Paul McCartney.
So pleased you’re enjoying the videos! Great idea! 💡
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Loved this Thankyou !
less is more!!Thx!
זה מדהים

Hey Zaki - well spotted!! This is actually a VST and yes I did mix it with a wurly low down in the mix. Man, your ears are insane! 🤣
@@thekeyscoach nice! I was sure something was off. I restored 2 Clavinets and 4 Wurlies so far, so my ears are pretty sensitive to these things. The blend does sound really cool, though.

That doesn’t sound like a clav to me
So 50 years later you figured out to play our music, congratulations
Harsh! 😂
Awesome Tunes. Well played. 👏
Simon Cowell looks better than he has in years! And he can still groove like an mfer!
🤣
I thought Jeff Beck wrote ‘Superstition’ ?
Heard he was gonna gift it to Jeff beck but his label wouldn't let him... or something like that
No Stevie Wonder wrote superstition you might be thinking of I Ain’t Superstitious
by The Jeff Beck Group
Not the group chic my man.
Well, how bout playing an actual clavinet then? :) Those are so much more fun, then the nords…
Lots of content being planned - keep your eyes pealed! 😉
They are really expensive and hard to Find though
@@eddiemakessomegoodvideosal7014 oh wow! I hadn‘t looked up clavinet priced in years… when did that happen?! Holy sh.. in my mind they were like 400 bucks…
Not a very good clap sound actually
The title should say “White Funk”.
