[kaspastarr]

Expert Village Always get 10/10 for effort but 1/10 for execution your trying to do a GREAT thing but you dont understand the basic principles of teaching. 64

Ryan Larson: Great at piano, sucks at all the other musical instruments in the face of the Earth. True Story.

[shamrock4real]

hi....i play keyboard....but dont like the way i play it....i really love jazz music..and thats what i want to learn. can u please help me please.....

[sunchimedia]

ok, this is his instrument.

[Phimmmm]

properly cool but wouldn't really call that a lesson

[EKstudios]

he's sooooo much better at piano then drums lol

[red16327]

This is great and i will try and employ some of this. I play by ear but want to learn how to read. Keep these videos coming, pay no attention to the haters!! Carry on young man!

[johnnyangel1000]

Thank you for your brilliant and concise comments, Mr. Obama. Since you need considerably more musical expertise to address me, I'll just consider the source.

Have a really wonderful life, dickweed. Love to all, Johnny

[summerofska]

@johnnyangel1000 Fuck off and Die. Does your unsatisfied wife let you even touch her anymore?

[BadTanLines]

HOw did this guy get mixed up with expert village? He's way too good for expert village!

[icad13]

Damn..

I love it man..

Thanks..

[PsychotikPandora]

mais c'est quoi ces pianistes qu'ils engagent ? c'est honteux, il n'y en a qu'un qui gère un max c'est paul wilson !

[johnnyangel1000]

You have GOT to be kidding. As a professional pianist, I can tell you with certainty that this poor slob can't play his way out of a paper bag. He should be teaching anything but music. This is the WORST.

[babiexnunu]

i agree with you completely. but being a pianist who has NEVER had any piano lessons before and learned by ear and can only read chords.. videos like this help - where there's a visual and it's simple and quick.

:)

[TheLusers]

@johnnyangel1000 As a decent human being, I can tell you are not one.

[johnnyangel1000]

@TheLusers Upon what do base that comment ? What does being a decent human being have to do with offering some constructive criticism? You obviously know nothing about music, otherwise you'd realize that this totally non-talented dude should DEFINITELY NOT quit his day job!! The LAST thing he should be doing is teaching music!

[TheLusers]

@johnnyangel1000 Upon the fact that your criticism is disrespectful and anything but constructive.

[yuyuchen8]

Wonderful!!!!



[numanuma20]

Is this in the key of C?

[Vulturer]

This is nothing, find "expert village hip hip drums" video

[KhoeblalSonny]

Why do you sit so low ?

[Danbjazz]

Mmm...playing here is barely adequate. He shouldn't be teaching. I'm assuming this is joke? And by assuming I mean hoping.

[julymaeandaloc]

Just came across cool piano learning device in Gizmag

Google “gizmag pianomaestro”

[tyleryesta1]

Why doesn't he turn the f#chin thing UP!!

[LeatherCladVegan]

FAILTARD.

[PsychoKinesisFlash]

it's just i dont like the guy

[Kokotienko]

nice playing but buy a new instrument

[LooopQ]

something good to come out of expert village for once

[coltononline]

@LooopQ So funny but true. haha

[KingNast]

@LooopQ This and Jonathon Wilson! - chilkari / groovewindow check him out

[alarumwithin]

I completely agree with you about melody. Playing ump-teen thousand notes at 200 bmp is all well and fine, but you don't leave enough room for the instrument to speak clearly. When I play out or even when I'm listening that is something I keep in my mind.

[musicis101]

he's actually good! PLEASE stick with piano and do not wander off in to percussion. it makes you look like think you know what you're doing when you really don't. where as in piano you DO know what you're doing soooo... yeah. stick to piano

[2c8476831]

im sorry to say.. but how can u actually learn from this.. good playin.. but hard to learn from it espescially if ur new..

[vinceythefly]

page full of text.... 8-(

[mclovin1617]

Yeah, Jazz is soething that requires TONS of theory. Its one of the last genre's of music I've yet to venture into because it can be so abstract. You can't learn real jazz by trying to mimic. You have to feel it.

[therealcaptain40]

When your left hand is on a chord, does your right hand mess with the scale that goes with that chord? Ex: when performing D minor chord, is your right hand limited to the D minor scale or is it free to mess around with notes that aren't in the D minor scale?

[Brandon18valensi]

@therealcaptain40 you have to play in the scale of D minor, if not it will sound terrific

[foljs]

@Brandon18valensi Actually, no. You can also stray off the scale.

[Brandon18valensi]

@foljs are you shure?

[foljs]

@Brandon18valensi yes, see for example: "Sticking within the scale’s note range is known as Diatonic harmony. As you advance, you’ll learn that it’s possible to add in notes outside the Diatonic scale, but for beginning it’s best to get very comfortable with just staying in the Diatonic Key."

[musicmanson]

This guy sounds like McLovin

[toasterder]

is there a noob version of this?

[orangekush3]

still him...lol look him up playing the cooon gas lmao

[penguinxxxx]

fender rhodes, nice

[moody1722]

HORRIBLE CAMERA ANGLE....... HORRIBLE SOUND.... HORRIBLE TUTORIAL!!

[HammondB200]

you can't solo in blues scale over a cmaj piece. this is not right

[allenlevelle]

@HammondB200 So true. Because with the minor and dominant 7th interval it will clash with the major chords.

[dennerwi]

fender rhodes has a great sound

[mattmollysdad]

why don't u have the piano sounding like a piano. it sounds like shit.

[johnny102marvin]

I like this idea of space between notes and musical pharses. The spacing between phrases allows the listener to digest what they are hearing and to appreciate it to a higher level.

[Lavthao]

Who writen this melody?

[John20032]

Beethoven had "big ears" until he went deaf. What a crappy musician.

[jaimepaullamb]

beginners: theory is very important and when i was ready to learn about it, i did. and that, of course, made sense out of the things i discovered by playing along with records and other musicians. but, i wouldn't approach music (especially jazz!) from such a dry, academic standpoint. USE YOUR EARS. play along. your ears will tell you what works and what doesn't. and, in time, the underlying theory will make sense. because, sadly, if you don't have "big ears", you will never be any good at jazz.

[dmmc1043]

correction, if you dont have "big ears", you will never be any good at music

[MrKayZ96]

@jaimepaullamb How can I train my ears?

[procrastinator300]

@jaimepaullamb what do you mean? if you don't know the notes, how are you supposed to do that? I'm not questioning you, I'm just trying to understand how it works

[procrastinator300]

@jaimepaullamb do you mean to actually have every major third, minor third, 7 chord, and major scale memorized? I mean, I know how to figure major scales out, but I don't have them all memorized.

[audit22ify]

hes better on this than the congas hes quite shit on his congas videos he needs to stick to this instrument

[Tb0neZ5]

haha i was just gonna say that...

[Shanyet]

this is a really good intro to jazz piano. for some of the beginners i think you should try to get a little more experience with piano before you try jazz. although i think that jazz i easier to play than classical piano i think that to discuss and learnin jazz especial online teaching i much harder.

[4wheeljive]

Hey thanks for that, easy to follow and makes sense. Look forward to more of your lessons.....cheers

[Dadee3]

F# in the Aminor blues scale?

[xgxaxy2006]

i really appreciate your effort to make these vids but i think it is better if you make it clearer to the audience, especially for beginners like me

[Bodiddly65]

I agree with Beginnerkeys, I think you play very well but I had to ask myself what did I learn from this video and I did not have an answer. Please take in consideration who your audience is and what you want to leave them with

[beginnerkeys]

When you demonstrate, could you be more exact in what chords and keys you play. For example, you say 1,6,2,5.What chords and keys are you playing?Also, you say something about pentatonic, what is that and what keys are they?While you play, inform your listeners what you are playing. I am a beginner and need clarifying. Thanks.

[NapSeason]

By 1-6-2-5 he means the chords starting on the different steps of the C Major scale. Ex. A is the sixth note therefore A is 6. So 1-6-2-5 means C Major, A minor, D minor, G major.

[ernestoruiz85]

But what makes the minors...minors!

[okdenny]

The C major triad has C E G. If you count the half steps from C to E, there are four. If you lower that 3rd (so it is 3 half steps from C) to E flat, that makes it minor. So now if you play a Dm triad (D F A) and count the half steps from D to F it is 3 half steps. Raise that F to an F# giving you 4 half steps from D to F# you will have yourself a D Major Chord. Try it with the rest of the scale. 4 half steps for the 3rd for major, 3 for minor. The 5th will always be 7 half steps from the root

[goncalocgaspar]

@NapSeason but do we follow the modes rigorously in this case? maybe not because he uses notes that are apart from C natural scale? i don't know much i'm asking so things can beat right in my head!..thanks!

[ForgeableGamer]

@NapSeason i just learned something new. THANKS :D

[scoobiescoobiedoo]

nice hair

[joanhallhovey]

Love the way you play, very cool!
