if Adam Sendler had a son With Hugh grant, this dude would he be!

[srprose]

when you say "I recognise it's not sounding any good at the moment" you couldn't be more wrong. It is the most interesting part of your video, & the lines definitely have structure. Depends entirely upon the ear of the listener..

[lowhigh000]

Wonderful video, helped sooo much. 

[nerdmofo]

this guy looks like Adam Sandler

[imCurlyHair]

[schoolofmusiconline]

@Fullofills He wishes

[bobgsearch]

what kind of exercise would you recommend to be able to develop your left hand independence? ie, keeping a rhythm going while the right hand improvises?

[schoolofmusiconline]

@bobgsearch Thanks for giving me an opportunity for a shameless plug. :)

Our new website has just launched and we only host free music lessons. There's a few LH co-ordination videos on it already with more coming soon. I'd recommend checking out the basslines series along with the ostinatos video. Just check out our profile and click on the banner. (the web address is just schoolofmusiconline) Good luck.

[bokkyboy]

you are gold thanks for the great lesson

[annahd94]

This is the best improv video I've seen. Every other one is about the basics but no one moves past. Thank you for your time in creating this video. It was extremely helpful!

[schoolofmusiconline]

@annahd94 Cheers, thanks for watching it.

[Ic3k0Ld92]

@annahd94 i completely have to agree with you... f*ck failpertvillage

[sotopagla]

Nice job! Just wanted to share with you a cool piano gadget recently featured in Gizmag Google “gizmag pianomaestro”

[darthaardvark]

Smart video! You really broke everything down well. It really helps me because I am a visual learner

[MrMindWarped]

Phenomenal !!!

[p28]

thanks for making it easy to understand. :)

[Pushcome2shove]

You are an awesome teacher man!!

[rezzieable]

Thank you, I really like the way you explain improvisation! You're a great teacher!

[vieldtruth]

best teaching ive come across and yes i agree no inflated ego, thanksand keep the good work up, you are a diamond

[bluemioridays]

just what i am looking for :) for once i actually learned something without the usual babbling jargons..:)

[schoolofmusiconline]

@bluemioridays Awesome. Thanks for the comment.

[live4themelody]

@schoolofmusiconline I just have one question. The relative minor of C major is A minor, so that being said, would the tension notes for a progression starting with an A minor chord be B,D,F ?

[schoolofmusiconline]

@live4themelody Short answer - tension notes for Am or Am7 are BDF#

Long answer - it's a little tougher with minor chords. With major chords the tension and resolution notes together make up the related scale - In a Cmajor7 the (resolution notes CEGB)+(tension notes DFA)=(related scale C Maj Scale). With minor7 chords the most common related scale to use is a Dorian scale. The dorian scale is like a major scale with a flat 3 and 7. So Am7 dorian scale is ABCDE(F#)GA and tension notes are BDF#.

[golden2314]

what about improvising while switching keys? seems like no1 wants to break down that science

[schoolofmusiconline]

@golden2314 Sorry I didn't reply to this sooner. It's a basic improvisation lesson so I didn't go into great detail like that. Definately in some future videos. Thanks for checking it out.

[golden2314]

@schoolofmusiconline please do! and no problem

[jnddepew]

Nice and simple tips for the beginner.  Thanks!

[magaroiu]

Very clear explanations! I am a music teacher myself but I could not explain this stuff better than you did! Congratulations!

[schoolofmusiconline]

@magaroiu Thank you. Appreciate the feedback!

[JonathonGittus]

Great job! Clear explanations and no inflated ego=thumbs up

[schoolofmusiconline]

@JonathonGittus cheers.

[Ichig06]

OMG way better than that expertvillage crap on the black keys. Thanks mann.

[sleepingcows]

@Ichig06 yeah dude, that was one creepy lady

[mcrss26]

CM7 baby.

[technoholic562]

how dare you flick all of us off??? 4:15 ... jk

[schoolofmusiconline]

That's hilarious. I didn't even think about that.

[torrencelupin]

Should have watched next segment. You did add the 7th. Please don't say it then not do it until later. You're gonna get people confused.

[torrencelupin]

Beggining of vid - CM7 in left hand? I think not. Where was the 7th?

[Zaiay]

Very good and informative video.

[NaomiDaniela]

That was a whole lot of unnescessary agression.

Try to understand what I meant instead of being so judgemental.

And go psychologist to find out why you get so worked up over small details.

Byebye!

[Miika153]

Great, helpful lesson.

[Fsdrak]

Great video...definitely the best one Ive seen on piano improvisation

[crazyghetto978818]

soooo...is tension notes a bit different from regular piano playing? the B note would actually be a tension note since it is building up tension to the C note

[thinsulate007]

Just what I was looking FORRRRRR !!! Much appreciated.

[HyperAX5]

i know right!!!!!!!!

[ezekielthemack]

Thank you SO much for this tutorial. I've learnt more in 10 minutes about soloing than I have by looking at other so called "teachers" on youtube who do everything but teach soloing and go off at a tangent by exhibiting their flamboyant piano skills. This has been a great help.

[edcerc]

his first solo that he said was bad was actually alot beter than the other ones that he said to try to emulate.

[89stec89]

this is well helpful. Thankyou

[ekim53]

You're too good. Even your 1st solo did not sound bad to me...just lots of tension.

[NaomiDaniela]

You're such a gentle, honest-looking teacher and your explanations couldn't be more clear!

[matthelson]

Oh, great lesson...very informative and civil style of teaching. Thank you.

[Samablama]

awsum, totally helped.

[Jotaoseayo]

You are FANTASTIC mate. That was brilliant!!

[salypimientas]

good lesson,Thanks for this

[MatthewPA1972]

I really like this a lot. How can I get all that's available? Go to the website? Are there actual DVD's for sale? Or strictly online?

[weisserstein]

Great. I learned a lot from this. More, please.
