Piano improv a lovely melody in D minor

[coglapse]

Screw the rules. Embrace only the tones that come to you in the moment when improving.

Hey torley i loved this vid i have a question

how i can get a program like the midi keys for windows?

[veiloctane]

thank you for posting this i have learned so much from your videos... keep the videos coming!!!

[dominomanrocksyeah]

You should do a whole video of you just playing... honestly... You talk too much.

[aadjxx]

@dominomanrocksyeah haha torley have a whole site of his improvisations and compositions, the dreamjournal, google it! but some more music at youtube wouldn't hurt too :)

[geekyPIANOman]

Torley.. Thanks bro

[AcousticGuitarJoe]

I play a lot of instruments, and Piano was my first but I quit so long ago and only played for about 1 year, I recently came back to it and discovered I am more naturally gifted at piano then any other instruments and improv is something I never knew I could be good at, this tutorial helped me improve my improv, thanks so much

[Hatecradle]

This man is an unbelievable genius and I could only hope to be this talented and gifted for a fraction of time in my life. Your sound is unreal Torley, I hope to see you rocking untill I die.

[randyt700]

Hey Torley, your videos are always awesome. Sorry to bother you but i was just wondering what piano VST you usually use in your videos, and what sound card and CPU you use, if that's possible.

[MrSoapJet]

Every note that comes out of your fingers, sounds so finesse and great!

Keep up the good work Torley!

[crazyRyoga]

Haha you're funny, in a good way offcourse, thx for the great lesson ;)

[17VINCE]

Mr. Torley!!..please check out my piano improvisation on my page and tell me what ya think..thanks your videos have been a BIG help to me

[FireyPanda889]

hey man i ran across your video today and i must say that i am glad i did. I've been playing piano for ten, almost eleven years but ive nevery really tried any improv. It hasnt been until recently that ive been interested in trying it out. I love your tutorials man, keep up the good work!

[supaflyz88]

man thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, you do so in a very clear and understandable way. hopefully i can improve my improv thanks to u!

[gcnubian]

I would love to see you do some more complicated improvisation. Maybe some modal borrowing, a few modulations, maybe some jazzy colour-tone chords. Although nice touch with the picardy third at the end.

[robloxbobeatspie]

Incredible! I think you're amazing! I'm trying to write a song in D Minor and, man, has this helped out a lot! Thanks so much!

[TheDuckfish123]

Really well explained :)

[lenniepo]

hey u are using mac!!!

[musicalchair69butts]

haha the end laugh is the best part

[zmanofwar3]

When you were explaining the chord progression, I was waiting for you to go down to A! At least, that's what I do.

[TheTurboKeys]

This is unbelievable! I can definitely tell that you enjoy playing and teaching the piano. I use the same chord progression when I improv, too.

[AEAtopz]

i enjoyed watching this!!!!

a little too much i think... Lol

keep it up.

[MrOslate1]

his voice is really cool

[etneji]

impressive gonna try this now :)

[mollister1234]

Hey, I really like it. You should try replacing the Bb chord with a Gminor IF you want to give it a minor sound. Great video.

[AegiosBlue]

very straight, intuitive guidance. that's rare. thank you very much!

[meferdi6]

Great tutorial! thanks alot you are a good piano player, for howlong do you play the piano?

[liqo12]

BEEEE flat major xD

nice tutorial

[Earthunite]

Well done. Your a good teacher. Thankyou

[ZeroOxygen]

i have been on the piano for like 3 months now and i'm slowly learning but its all just stuff i'm making up on my own. I need help, if you would look at some of my horrible piano video's and tell me what i should work on I would be gratefull.

[pathway27]

Very impressive information, even though i figured it out my self, couldn't have said it better though.

[Zukurah]

beastly improv!!!

[BB2LB]

thank u so much!!why r u so awesome??lol greetings

[fairburnagate]

Excellent-thanks for the insight to D minor!!!!

[SpongeBob030293]

thats a GREAT video mate!! luv it

[TheMetallicaKid]

Plz make another improv video!

[Gerard2286]

Torley, I am completely involved with all of your videos. I thank you so much for giving to the music community.

[farley333]

Am I right that in fourth chord you jumped to different scale then was that first three ones using third chord as an pivot chord?

[macko088]

Please do more videos about chords i will appreciate it.

Have nice holidays!

[DALEVANX]

COOL!

[McKack]

Torley, the keyboard preview thingy in Garageband will let you display all keys (shortcut: Command-K), quite similar to that one actually. Only problem is you need to have Garageband in the foreground for it to be visible, though I guess you could judy silence the instrument in Garageband and still have the input register in Ableton Live(?).

[McKack]

*JUST -_-

[aladyblond]

torley, you are so gifted thank you for your mind your music and your mentoring.

[NOSFERATUalu]

Thank you so much Torley for this :D

It really helped me!!!

[rimroddawondere1]

Before I used to think that, computer generation in music, is wrong, that it takes something away form the artist and makes it something anyone can do, I have heard your Dream Journal, and love it. I was very wrong I really like the What lies beyond, it is everything that is missing in music today, for that matter your music, shows that you do in fact have more skill, then most of the people who call them selfs artist.

[DemonHide]

That's well-put. Personally, I listen to a lot of Metal and the newer bands tend to put more electronically-generated bits in there than some of the older bands, even though the latter who have released newer albums have taken advantage of that as well. I used to think that doing all that was somehow taking away from physical-instrument skill, but I realized that it only adds to it and a lot of work goes into each piece regardless, and that's something to respect.

[sk84life0]

hey torley are you gonna make more second life stuff???

[Muftobration]

Torley, what Piano plugin are you using? It sounds really great. This was an excellent video.

[1juno1]

Loved it =) please make more like this

[Bleoxxx]

dude u r the best!!!

[Linkydj]

this is the best turtorial ever , why? (Don't get me wrong , i love your other videos too!!! ) because you include so much tips for beginners ... thank you!

[Linkydj]

and the improve at the end was rly great

i learned a lot!

[anashosamhasan]

really great thanks torley

[mvshabeer]

Nice Tutorial.

Is there a Similar Midi Keys software for windows

[logixweb]

There's one called "GTG Micro Keyboard" which Torley led me to a while back, though it isn't quite as good as Midi Keys and has its flaws.

[THELIRIKALTANK]

thanks for the tips you are great

[CRAIGARRR]

Nice resolve at the end going to the Major after building all that "tension" with the minor.. I like the improv stuff Torley, thats why I subscribed.. That hour long tutorial "inspired" me.. I am learning the guitar and I bought a yamaha keyboard to work out the guitar tabs and eventually use midi files I can upload into my keyboard to accompany myself on guitar.I hope you can do more improv stuff.. You make it look so easy with embelishments that as you explain are really just icing .Keep goin!

[MartyPlaysMusic]

Thanks for sharing all of that! Great job. *****

[peliks]

thats my favorite progression too... just lovely...

check out my songs... they use to have it

[cabinda4ever]

listen to his Glitch Piano. Amazing...

I wish i started playing when i was little! I am SO MAD AT my parents.. now i'm 20 and I have that inner thought "its too late".. specially when i watch little kids flying thought it

[reandor]

Its never too late unless you aim to be high level professional. I would give it a try if i were you

[cabinda4ever]

Oh don't get me wrong I have basic skills or a tleast enough to fool somebody I can play piano....but I want to be like him or what is considered "GOOD". It takes about 10,000hrs to master it.. I don't have time for all that with college and social life.

Ps. sorry about the long reply lol

[najam133]

Damn torley man i think i love you. No homo. hehe. thanks for the great vid!

[StardarkMusic]

bro i wish i could understand how i feel right now...if u only knew how much u taught me in this vid

[lindstrom4]

So glad I discovered your channel... Torley, you are BRILLIANT =D

[cmlburnett]

Any thoughts on basic improv with multi-part?
