KORG SP-250

Respect bro ;D

[JoeyTTV]

this is so cool! I am a aspiring professional pianist and these sort of videos really help me on my quest for stardom

[ivelosthewilltolive]

Very helpful. I've only played classical piano up to now, so crushing doesn't come naturally to me -- I keep wanting to use 4-5 instead of 4-4. But I'm working on it...

[dovanka]

Hey Ben thanks for this video,it is very helpful.Excellent job!

[pomelberry]

good video but make sure you get your facts right and actaully know what your playing, because most of the time you put in extra notes on top of what you tell us to get those bluesy accents. take the time to go over every note you play!

[ixSTRAFExi]

the only problem for me is I don't have a keyboard I have an actual piano and I cant move to fast on it because the keys have so much more resistance than keyboards do

[YungShady01]

@ixSTRAFExi Most people prefer the piano touch no matter what kind of keyboard they are playing and I think the keyboard is of the same kind

[radred609]

@ixSTRAFExi

getting used to a real piano just takes practice and finger strength

so just play, play, play

(okay, maybe five finger pushups will help, but that might be a little extreme :P )

[n00bsl4y3r1]

u should play this on piano if your have one couz its sounds much better

[Dobro96]

LONG LIVE BLUES!!!



[xDtheendOo]

[Mattpoz1]

Dude, your videos are great. Keep doing what your doing and I will keep on learning. Cheers.

[jimuse1995]

that was great! thanks!

[artrocker65]

As usual, an intelligent and creative man is from the UK.

[syntheticmusic]

i love your tutorials, thank you for uploading. i've just started learning blues piano/organ, it will take me a while to play some of the things in your videos but you've given me some practice material!

[paulallen34]

hi love all your piano videos any chance of more notation versions though.keep up the good work.

[ozhuan]

mate, you're a legend

[raziel1001]

Thanks a lot for the explanations ... Very Cool Music!!

[omarv27]

Great vids, exactly what i was lookin for

thanks!

[19Maurice68]

can anyone here recommend a good not too expensive electric piano? price would be appreciated.

Great vid by the way.

[amadeus761viva]

Yamaha DGX-620 YPG-625

Is one of the better or best ones for the price . From around $ 450.00 up to $ 600.00

[YMSAltrincham]

i would look at the yamaha DGX/CLP range, CVP's are better if you can afford them, had mine for 5 years now and havent regretted paying the extra money once, though I do alot of Keyboard work as well.

Hope that helps,

John

[SUNNYRHOADES9]

Love You Man Your Great -Good Teacher .

[Thepianobrothers]

Thanks! nice video.

[hankfletcher]

Yay, we have the same piano! Great vid.

[GOD140288]

this is actually awesome, i'll make a video of my attempt and some of blues/boodgy stuff if you get time, have a look :D

[SlaveToTheDivas]

Ben

Thanks for the vids, helped enormously . LH chords in the turnaround are confusing...

Sprunger seems to be playing G, C#, F to F#,C, F to F,Bb,D to E,Bb,D ending with return to the first 2 chords.

Turnaround as I understand it is some variation on V - IV - I - V? So I read 1st chord as A7+ (V of V) to D7#9 (V), next 2 poss subs for (IV) chord C9sus to C9 - or (I )chord G7#9 to G6#9 - or some combination ? depends what bass is doing (can't hear on sprungers vid - any thoughts?

[FELIXJ21]

Fine, My brother.. thank for the tuto

[Ottocento80]

Bravo!!

Thank You from

ITALY.

[BahaiGlory]

Fantastic!

[crazypianolady]

I can see that David Sprunger has inspired you a lot!

[jerydab]

Is the tonic in the G or in the G minor chord?

You can do a pentathonic scale, it would be very good. The left hand can do the complete blues accompaniament, adding the third note. Try in the 4/4 compases with all the scales. Very good lesson

[tunobuenotunomuerto]

You are a God for sharing all this with us.

[WhynotMiha]

Thanks alot!¨all your videos inspire me, and make me want more and more to learn blues :D

[MusicGuru12]

Thanks very much for your kind comment. I'm so glad that my videos are inspirational.

Best of the luck in the future,

Ben :)

[stephanyh3]

[punishment007]

[Malicemental]

Ben!

You are brilliant!

And manage to explain so well. This one has been your easiest to follow so far, and im having fun!

Thank you for doing such a good job, keep up the good work

xx

[eventsinmusic]

Ben this is really good stuff! Love that you break down some of Sprunger's licks...they are hard to get for me. I wish you would break down Stevie Winwood/Traffic's classic "Glad." You must know it. Keep up the great music lessons! :)

[FR0ZzA]

Thanks!

[ashleebritton1234]

Dude You are really good! I am going to use this in church...Pentecostal church is nothing more than blues, jazz, and classical, and a lil more all in one! great Job! kepp 'em commin!

[irishpiccolo]

this is amazing - so much to take in at once, but sitting at the piano with the laptop makes it all possible :D thanks a million mate, love your videos!

[adidarmawan]

wow, you've got the perfect touch!

that makes such a perfect sounding...!

love it!

[shannondavis]

thank u soooo much.

[elbuensimio]

thanx

[coconutsmaster]

It's actually very good but what makes it so good is the end wich is quite rich (end means the chords ending the verse) and tis part is not very clear caus you're changing the notes you play each time you shox it... I just can't follow!! could you clear it for me please? Cheers, mate...

[coconutsmaster]

Man , you're just a star!!!

Wanna do it!!

Wanna get the slide trick for crying out loud!

[Feesharp9er]

Very Ear pleasing !!

[fenix9885]
