How to use the Pentatonic Scale on Piano.

[batvalj]

Excellent! fresh new ideas in modern music

[remo2012]

Well I guess the video got messed up on YouTube, I do have other vids about the pentatonic scale. Add &fmt=18 at the end of the link and it may work. &fmt=18

[gigiobigio]

"uh... can you repeat, please?"

XD

[TotoyTarugo]

This is by far the most comprehensive and educational video I have ever seen.

But after watching it, it made me ask if the hand is faster than the eye.

[NicholasFruneaux]

The video is very clear as opposed to what some people are saying... Then if you think you are to good for his lessons (listen up to what age category is talking to him) than go lookj for something harder...

His lessons are great for motivating and teaching young musiciens

[Norbergslantzen]

He's very pedagogical but all that talk about "sad" and "happy" is very subjective. Not everyone agrees to which chord or scale sounds sad or happy, that's why I feel his theories are pretty ill-founded. Why not instead mention the oriental flavour of the scale, or talk about its connection to the blues. No, I wouldn't stay with this tutor for a very long time...

[darrensurrey]

Well, I learnt something new today.

[ariellofellow]

stop being so harsh to this guy!!! He's targeting people who haven't played before. Give him a break

[HMC1HMC]

terrible

[jefced]

can't make out which keys your playing: shouldn't you have sighted your cam on top of the keyboard, just the voice would been enough...your teaching method yeah sucks.ngakkk

[hygrow]

dude, he's only playing the black keys ie. sharps and flats

[CharlieWallace02]

Can't believe a second ago i was listening to art tatum and now this guy shows up.

[karateXOcutie]

ok i need to make a song using only the black keys - any ideas - i can't think of anything!

[predoje]

Chopin etude "black keys"!

[Joseph88keyz]

The beginning song to the old tv show " All in the family".start on the C#.

[Chrishawn]

A wonderful, simplistic video. Attn: Herbert is more than likely instructing elementary school students, not Berklee aged men & women.

I suppose that you'll would burden their little minds with modes, scales, arpeggios, chord progressions and such for the first lesson? Please. Great job Mr. Herbert, as you have the art of teaching down. It's about simplicity.

[saulekastaip]

well, the idea about low pitch against high pitch being compared to sad and happy is interesting. there could be some sense in it. and i observe it for the first time in my life like that, but in general, kids, run away from Herbert!

[guapobear]

assigning values of happy/sad to music instead of teaching major minor sound discrimination is just one more reason music ed in this country sux out loud..

[phillytalented]

are you serious? Happy and sad songs lol

[llieske]

this proves that just about anybody can teach piano and make it sound like he's actually teaching something useful

[SSJBartSimpson]

lol

[steveharley0345]

now i am the MASTERRR of the penta-wijamawotsit scale =D either that or i jus got bored of him jibbering on on on -_-

[hegmat]

Interesting!

[MattZildjian]

haha, expert? he can hardly play piano at all!

[perchst]

How is this guy an expert? Check out the Dick Hyman videos on Utube instead. And forget about this s...

[MadnessDogBassist]

That's right

[nerdhi]

you can improvise on the white keys too ... its called using CMaj :P

[bobsong7]

I learned a lot about how to improvise/play by ear by watching and listening to my Uncle play the piano. He only played the black keys, but his repetiore was endless. I enjoyed your presentation. Thanks
