This is interesting. I have a guitarist background, so for me those white keys have always been natural to play. When I started on organ, I started by the tunes and riffs I already knew (in E, A, Em, G, etc) so I was a bit afraid of learning all the black keys scales and all. To my surprise, they appeared to be more easy on keyboard. Now I struggle when having to play in C! Then, there is less landmarks for the fingers, compared to the guitar where you favor the whites because it allows you to use open strings and thus enhance voicing possibilities. So now I can say I am equally fluid (as fluid as I can be on an organ, or course) in almost any keys.
My 12keys story... I had no choice but to learn all my keys because the piano at home was a half-step lower than the recordings...my mother never had it tuned...now my daughter is learning her keys on the the same piano!
THX! man. I find improvising on the whites k. easier than when you ad just one flat/sharp to it. Specially when you close your eyes , which i think is healthy to do. the exception to this are the ones who have all the black k. within. (and you add the two w.k. whose will make the scale complete). I am a guitarist so i have to trans my knowledge to the keyb. but it is getting easier each day. ps. i love playing in one mood (key) for a good while so i don´t have to rush my braincells to much. :D good job. enjoyed it.
In understand, I tend to use Gb as my reference when playing in the key of B. Because EVERYONE knows that Vmin7 chord in Gb. So i just remember that it's the IImin7 in B
I'm not sure if it apply to this video but I have trouble trying to figure out what you are playing in your left hand when you are playing those really cool chords when your right and left hand is really close together. Not tri-tones but those really cool left hand moves while you are playing your right hand chords. Hopefully you know what I mean.
Finding chords in the difficult keys and matching the bass note companion tend to be what take hard study for me. For me its the keys of GFLTAT,A,B, AND E.
thanks for making those video help me a lot sir i have one question what software u use to edit your video . showing hand and midi one side and also foot bass pedal
Hi Thanks for the video. I am struggling to figure out how to create the phat chords you are using. Could you please come up with a video to show how you move from chord to chord to produce this dissonant sound?
Hey Pallone! I cover how to create advanced chord voicings and progressions in my course Create Crazy Gospel Chords. You can find out more about it at: organmadeeasy.com/freegospelchordstraining
I notice that you didn't do verbal breakdown, I'm thinking you figure one can just see & what your playing and catch on LoL, all was beautiful chords changes....👍🏿 PlayBack

Different strokes for different folks I guess. In the gospel world the white keys are usually the harder ones for musicians because of the chord shapes and positioning

Wow. I have goosebumps while you play. It is awesome. You make very nice progressions. It helped me a lot to understand that kind of playing.
Thank you!
Thank you for blessing us with your knowledge. You're awesome. Clear, logical & very inspiring!
You're welcome, thanks!
very cool...chords for each note of the scale...see all the notes on the lower screen and the pedals, very helpful.

That woops chords was my favorite in there
HAHA thanks!

awesome video. the key of B gives me fits even to this day. but I think I've found a niche. I think about it like it's Cb :)
In understand, I tend to use Gb as my reference when playing in the key of B. Because EVERYONE knows that Vmin7 chord in Gb. So i just remember that it's the IImin7 in B
Nicely done.
THanks man!

It was more conceptual this time around!
If it feels weird then I now that's it.
Can you make a reharm tutorial of the Star Spangled Banner?
Do you have a video with a gospel progression to learn in all keys?
yes..in my course Create Crazy Gospel Chords I cover many progressions like that and much more: organmadeeasy.com/joinccgc
Avon this is Jerome out of North Carolina can you put out a video on E movement piano
I love a good challenge if I don't get it first time I will the second time when I when I'm playing
Can you teach some blues scales
Funny...D, E, G, A, and B are some of the easiest keys for me to play in. Bb, Ab, Db, and Eb are the worst!
Yeh - they sound great but - A flat is tricky man
interesting...i find the sharps/black keys to be more intuitive
SAME i dont get it
I struggle in the key A
Real Good
I Struggle in every Key Black and White
Hey I know this is an old post but what kind of speaker are you using for your XK3 The Gospel University?
bro, my problem is the opposite, I know my white keys, but I hate my black keys. Can you help?
Hey Clinton, the same concept applies. Use the chords your familiar with in the "white" keys, as transition chords to help you play in the black keys.
K, i'll try it out
That was so confusing!
Your opps at 2:00 sounds 👍
Thanks man!
are you using the 3300 Leslie?
No, 122 XB
sounds good but you didn't break the chords well enough as to a beginner

Wait...the white keys are easy peezy for me but the black keys arent..whattt?! I always thought the black keys were the hard ones
Different strokes for different folks I guess. In the gospel world the white keys are usually the harder ones for musicians because of the chord shapes and positioning
the fingering is difficult plan in white keys
P Bellamy Eh...for organ mabye but usually the hard keys vary by person or which genre/style you were raised in.
organs music always has those slick slides which are hard without lots of black keys
I am just the opposite. The black keys are way more difficult with the fingering than the white keys, for me. Organ or piano.
are white keys harder , really?
It depends on the style of music, and background
thanks, I play well in the key of C, need to to utilice this in other keys
looking for a system , way of thinking .....
