[sotopagla]

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

[djmirrorsoul]

Hi, I am having a really good halp studying from your videos, so here I wanted to thank you very much again for your work. I really appreciate, thank you very much!!!.

[ShadowKyler]

Erm.... You are a good guy =D

[Jegoruku]

hey Andrew, what about melodic major scale? Or I missed something?

[EddGrr102]

crap i forgot what the difference is between a major and minor chord

[bessyboopy]

isn't it a little suspicious how this is lesson 11, and this lesson lasts for 11:11 O_o

aha anyways, you are actually a legend! You are way better than my current guitar teacher. :D you also remind me of my cousin, which is a good thing, cus he's just funny :D

I hope to grow up playing just like you (i'm only 14) ;);)

[AlaskAnna22]

Thanks for the great lessons - you do a great job of teaching at beginner level- your material is exactly what I was looking for to learn piano -so very helpful and understandable-thanks for posting

[ALDGERNON]

[wwbrittany]

hahaha...your "sniff sniff" comment at the end of the video was funny! :) You are such a great teacher, Andrew! We appreciate you!!!

[Lypur]

Thanks! ^_^ I'm happy to hear it!

[abigailannching]

IF ONLY YOU WERE MY SCHOOL MUSIC TEACHER!!!!wahhhhhh!!! *sniff* whaaaa! anyway, sir what are the good mozart pieces have you been playing? i would want to have the music sheet! :)

[berni0piano]

sorry im very inquisitive! but i have a question- you know the notes at the very top and bottom of the piano like right at the ends, do you usually use those? or at all? coz ive never seen anyone touch them .lol

[berni0piano]

i started watching your videos coz i wanted to learn piano properly. instead of learning the notes like a,b,c,d,e,f, and g, i had 1,2,3,4,5,6,7. is that bad? can u play properly like that?

[permanentlana]

After watching this, I was like "huh? o.0"

[yuryarana]

hi, I´m of Guatemala in central america, and I´m thanksfully because it is wild, is very good, thank you, and I hope that you go a head with the lessons.

thank you

[eaMusIk2008]

LOL.............so like i dont die

ahaahaha ur hella funny bro

[axxo798]

oke i missed the first 10 lessons is that bad??

[permanentlana]

Yeah, kind of. Go back and watch them now. ;D

[matthewcastillo45]

I miss '07, but '08 is starting to look up.

[feiyinglye]

how does it feel to still get comments on a video you posted ages ago?

I just don't get the time to learn as much as I'd like but I try and watch your videos. I'm only on this one after weeks lol

I now have a book like you said but reading music is hard while playing at the same time :S

I'm getting there thanks for your help :D

[Lyfem]

Hey Lypur !

Thank you so much for these great lessons.

I'm playing guitar nearly three years now, but I've always been a big fan of piano, and I had a keyboard all the time but I didn't have any books or teacher or something. So your Videos are really helpful.

Especially the technique stuff, since I know most of the theory stuff already. (but it's good to refresh my mind ^^) I had much problems with the fingering but know it works much better and I can feel my fingers want to run. Thanks you !

[dexarouskies]

I'm amazed at how fast you can play those chromatic scales. It's just not human!

[Lypur]

maybe i'm NOT human...*shifty eyes* muwahahaha..ha..ha...ha...*cou­gh*...passes out on floor from hyper-ventilation

[etermal07g]

lol

[XxKingpillowxX]

@Lypur o.O

[xcorecrisisx1990]

@Lypur Ha, goofball

[xcorecrisisx1990]

@Lypur Lol you goofball :P

[joeluis98]

If I could play the scales like u do, I would play them at partys and I would probably stop in every music store just to play the scales.

[Lypur]

lol really? well then you have a reason to practise the scales, to show off;)

[Tazyman07]

lol i burst out laughin wenu wer do do doin at the begining lol . thnx u make me look really profetional

[mirzajustin]

hello Lypur...how are you? Im on the 11 lesson.......YES....keep going

[ms2000guy]

just realize I'm a year late. :P

I didn't realize that you come down lowering the 6 & 7th notes in melodic minor (the book didn't show.) Thanks!

[Lypur]

you're welcome man, i hope my video's can be of some help ^_^

[daoherbt]

I'm such a slower learner. If this was a real class, I probably got kick out. Thanks for cheering every time because that give me hope. I'm trying to soften my fingers on the keyboard because they're all still stiff.

[Lypur]

chromatic scales, and hannon will soften your fingers up ^_^ don't worry you won't get kicked out! ^_^

[sgisi414]

harmonic minor right?

[Lypur]

YES! it's nice to know someone understands, it sucks, you make one mistake and forget to explain one detail, and you can't exactly go back and fix it, once it's up, it's up. But yea! thanks for the comment

[thekat67]

Hey, It's a big ask, but could you maybe do a lesson for people more advanced, on stuff like modes and all that jazz?

[Lypur]

oh like the old church modes such as Dorian Phyrigian etc? that's an idea, although i think i'd need to get a white board again so that i could draw it out on the board :(

[thekat67]

well, its just an idea. I mean, me personally, I know alot about modes and most theory, but ive just started the piano with your instuction. thanks man, keep it coming

[KEYSONGS]

great happy new year

[cheeseischocolate4]

i though A minor had no sharps in it like c major. im confused again!

[Lypur]

It doesn't have any sharps or flats in the key signature because it is the relative minor...but to make the scale sound minor, you raise the 7th note of the scale up 1 semi tone! so, g become g sharp.

[roukasrocker]

this was really informative!!!+

[jsaic]

im here now

[ai1888]

[Lypur]

[chado2423]

I haven't watched all the videos yet, but I'm glad you take suggestions, eventually we need to learn both, right? So just flip a coin to which one you teach first. You are helping so many people, including me, and I can tell you have a sincere heart. Learning from you has really inspired me.

[gacifo]

Thank you very much. I did not know how to do it correctly. It;s very easy and sounds very good. Thnks for your tip.

[nashst3r]
