  • Dios te bendiga can you make a tutorial with major keys like in the key of C, G, and F??

  • For anyone who might be interested in a tad bit of experimenting i replaced the Amin with an Emin7 chord and its kind of like a giant extension from the Amin chord because the A is in the bass. Just somethin i kinda noticed and thought was cool. Anyway, all your videos are awesome dude and I'm learning a lot from them. Thank you very much.

  • @mbsaxman600 Thanks for your imput!!

  • I'd like to learn all the chords that can be useful in such music style

    i'm a pro keyboard player , and i'm very willing to learn as much as i can from Salsa and jazz styles ...

  • @Mickycond86 So are you a pro gospel player or just a pro piano player??

  • @latinpianist playing for more than 24 years

  • @Mickycond86 Wow. Thats good to hear. Do you have any CDs out?

  • Great lessons! :)

  • @CBasie2856 Thank you!

  • This was a good turtorial and I hope to learn more about how to play salsa music more. Thanks bro for showing this video on tips and the enthuisiam. And it's comlpicated at first but with practice you'll get it. God bless

  • A vary good lesson and I found it to be practical and easy to follow your instruction with a real latin sound. I hope there is more of your video to watch on yourtube. Thank you

  • @1somali Thank you so much. Im glad you found this helpful.

  • @1somali Thanks a lot!!

  • hey mira yo se como tocar algunos tumbaos but i dont know if you would like to add a video with tumbaos??? yo toco en el grupo de mi iglesia and i would like to learn some more tumbaos

  • hey brother, thank you very much, i go to a pentecostal church and this will help us very much. Keep on posting more videos, the way you explain step by step and note by note is veryyyyyy helpful. you have a gift from the lord!! God bless

  • it would be immensely useful to have a metronome beat going while u r playing as without clear downbeat indication it is impossible to follow your rhythmic placements which i suspect r mostly off beat.

  • you're right...i tried to just give out the chords

  • ok but people cant benefit from this demo, as it appears to be a burst of notes to which they have to guess the chord changes before the get any benefit of your intention.

  • well everyone transposition it wont matter sure its good to learn in every key but if u played this on real piano itll sound the same. just different pitch

  • But my advice is that is better to play in each original chord, instead of transposing, so you learn ALL THE CHORDS correctly.

  • You're right Dadee3, transposing limits your learning. When you transpose, you aren't playing the chord, instead you're playing another chord "transposed" to the chord you want...example, if i want to play a C minor chord, and I play in A minor and transpose it 3 half tones up, i won't never learn to play in C minor , instead i will playing in A minor. Transposing the keyboard works when you are in a live presentation, and you have to follow the singer in a complex improvised theme.

  • Really are you make an excellente labor, God Bless You my friend!!

    And congratulations from Cartagena Colomboa

  • alguien que me diga como tocar la introduccion de la chica del pelo marron por fa

  • transposing makes it easyer to play.

  • no, it limits you and you never learn

  • Gbu amen!!

  • very nice, but why transpose it. very difficult to combine with a real piano...

  • cool, nice montuno, new for my fingers...

  • god bless you 2 my brother

  • are u apostolic?

  • dude you are an excellent teacher.i do not know how to play but i ordered my keyboard and i am learning on my own.i am waiting for my piano.you should teach man .really gifted!!!saludos

  • i download these and listen to them in our student union at the college of long beach! they have a piano and i'm listening to these. I really appreiciate how you name the notes on each cord. I play by ear, but i have no practise with trying to decipher jazz tones :D

    tY!

  • hey thanks for doing that. i appreciate being there as your teacher.

  • Great !! Thanks for sharing your music...

  • my pleassure

  • awesome ;)

  • thank you

  • i wish you could analize montunos from a few of the salsa classics like Anacaona,

    and songs by Palmieri,Harlow,Lucca and others.

  • oh salsa and this are way different. i wish i knew more salsa. montunos are so hard to play but we're getting somewhere right?

  • something you never did here: Playing the Cha-Cha-Cha! I'm looking for a tutorial a long time ago, and I can't find it. I would really apreciate if you teach us that alternate hand moviment and chords of Cha-Cha-Cha=D

  • good point

  • To transpose makes it even harder for beginners trying to figure out the notes to play

  • i know. its been a year ago and im still suffering the consecouenses...lol

  • Con music sheets se refiere a que si tienes las partituras donde esta escrita la musica, lo cual no creo porque esto es improvisado pienso yo.

  • esto es algo tradicional. pero se puede escribir. tomaria tiempo por supuesto

  • can you teach us the lick at the beginning of the video?

  • thaat lick is coming up by Christmas

  • This is definitely my favorite and i pick up on it in two days.love the way this one sounds .I'm learning from you and having a ball at the same time ..thanks keep up the good work bro..

  • Just like to point out that the D Chord is NOT a D Major 7. The chord you are playing is a D dominant 7. A D Major7 has a C sharp in it not a C natural. Hope this helps and thanks for you cool vid.

  • Yes, not far from London. We're writing songs for children at elementary schools and we're trying to compose a song in the salsa style. You've been very helpful!

  • Wow. I would love to go over there. Thats good what you're doing. So salsa is known over there like that? Wow. Thank you for your compliments

  • hello latinpianist. we are listening here in the UK and we think you're super. Please can you notate the two rhythms- right hand and left hand- so we can follow more clearly. You are an inspiration!!

  • Greetings to the UK! Where? London? I can certainly do that so. Unfortunatly, my laptop is being worked on and thats where i have the info. I only access my desktop.

  • Yes, not far from London. We're writing songs for children at elementary schools and we're trying to compose a song in the salsa style. You've been very helpful!

  • cool,im just a little excited, i have always wanted to play this style of music.but you do pick it up at the end and teach very well.

  • thanks man.

  • These videos are great. Can you recommend any salsa music books for an intermediate/beginner level pianist? I've been playing classical piano for about 6 months. I'm comfortable reading music and some sheet music to go along with your videos would be fantastic!

  • i used to have one but its somewhere in my file cabinet....i forgot the name im going to look for it so i can give you the name of it

  • thanks for the compliments by the way

  • You're welcome! I like how you break down each part into pieces that I can comfortably practice. I will check back later for the name of that book. Thanks a lot!

  • you're welcome. the name of the book is MI(musician Institute series) Salsa Hanon By Peter Deneff by a Hal Leonard collection.

  • you're keyboard is in Eb, when you play F it sounds D!

  • thats because i transpose it. but i tell you to in the beginning of the video.

    God bless you, and thanks, hermano.

  • God bless you, young man! You are an excellent role model for the young people of today (and everyone) with your beautiful music. People all over the world are blessed by your talent, and many are, undoubtedly, trying to learn your style. Would it be possible to slow down the tempo to, say, half the speed? It is really complicated, but, man is it ever nice! Thanks, and God bless you!

  • Hey brother.

    Thank you so much for the anointed teachings.

    If you have a webside on how to teach piano.

    I will subscribe, if you don't have one i will be your first customer.

    Donde tepuedo mandar una ofrenda?

    In Christ,

    Mauricio.

  • God bless you. I dont have a website just yet. Im working on that. I ll let you know when i do so you can be my first subscriber. Ofrenda? For what? LOL. You are blessing me just by watching my videos bro. Thanks

  • kool.

    I had a website for a while in Yahoo- small business. You can get a domain name for less than 10 usd. u design your own webpage, it's real easy. I have some software to build your own page. u can use office 2007 also (i have an extra disc if you need it, let me know, no charge of course)

    U can also sign up for paypal to get paid (they only charge you everytime you get paid, it's a very small fee) people can pay with credit cards, atms, bank accounts...

    God bless you.

  • well that sounds like a good idea. if you could send me the disc that would be great.

    im going to try this. God bless and thanks for the support

  • sure, i need an address, you could give me the Church address if you like or any address. I will send you office07 and i think i can send you my other christian desing software not sure about the last one. And if you need some help let me know, i know a little about this stuff u can just set up a paypal icon on your website, something to start with.

  • Oh and can you show the more advanced part at the end. I have the part that you teached perfectly. That would help a lot. thanks God bless

  • latinpianist, what are the chords at the beginning of the video? thanks.

  • Its nice to see people learn :)

  • Praise the Lord. I prayed that I would learn this and he helped me. God is real!

  • praise God!!!!!!

  • I got this one too.

  • u did told us that u wasnt perfect keep up the good work guy

  • It's good to see that you've been able to post more videos.I just found out today about your new videos.I've been waiting for months for this and God has been able to open doors.I hope you get the opportunity to post hundreds of tutorials.Thank you for taking out time to do this for all of us.

  • Hey no problem. I just know that people out there need these lessons cause i was once there, looking for video lessons and sometimes i couldnt find them. That what im here for.

  • hola, ta chevere tu video hermano uno de los anteriores hizo q pudiera dividir mis manos para bajo y montuno... gracias ... dime q diferencias hay entre esto y la timba o la salsa cubana en general?...para piano

  • Gracias. No se la respuesta a tu pregunta. Por lo general, se que la salsa cubana tiene un montuno diferente a la salsa puertoriquena. Pero no estoy seguro. Dios te bendiga

  • What is transposing?

  • Transposing is when you-by a click of the transpose button- go up in pitch without moving your chords at all. For example, if i want to play a song on Cmaj, and the song normally played on Amaj. Then you just stay on Cmaj and use the Transpose button x3 down. Its technically cheating.

  • Ok. Thanks. God Bless You

  • Transposing is bad!!

  • May God bless you brother... I'd like to make a small correction for the benefit of those who watch. Towards the end of the video... you're NOT doing D Major 7; you're doing just plain D7. There is a difference. D Major 7 is played using D F# A and C#. You do not need to use the word "major" when you are refering to a major chord. Just the chord name (ie. C, D, etc) will do.

  • Yes you are correct. Im sorry. I had forgotten about that rule. It gets confusing after seeing keys almost everyday! But thats just an excuse. God bless and thank you for watching out for that.
