Your videos are great. Even if I don't get it like yours, I'm in the groove and it sounds good. Thanks so much.

[MrKutzki]

im canadian canadians do not have an accent except we say aye a lot. BTW We DONT say aboot(about in canadian)

[Jackfma27]

you say a-boat. seriously

[novasco55]

@MrKutzki yes they do say aboot

[breannaoakes90]

Do you have any videos that teach the left hand movement?

These lessons are great btw!!! :)

[Tomonkeys]

Ran out of space, to continue: Furthermore, I like listening to you and your accent (we in New York City have no accents, you see).!

[nickmeredith002]

Yes you do.......you have whats called an American accent!

[luv2skate246]

im just getting into piano can u make a step by step tutorial of how to do that first one u played like note bye note. like say this finger goes her and does this kind of thing. that would make me very happy if u did thank you .

[autosmash]

I'm sure he hasn't the time to make a video for complete beginners. The riffs he's playing aren't beginner riffs, therefore it's unnecessary for him to bother. Rages me when someone uploads a song and people comment it saying "can you email me the exact tabs and tell me all the notes please thanks.." it's like...sure mate, because I can be fucked to do that! Acquiring SOME basic skill first is essential, I mean come on, he slows it down SO much in this video.

Bonjour from France,

Thanks man . I'm one of your French groopie. You are the best on the net.

[iloveya2993piano]

amazing（＾ｖ＾）

[crazypianolady]

:) I would love if you could do more left hand things. Basslines and endings etc :)

[77fx]

Very useful! Especially that you show the riff in a "real world" context, I mean embedded in a longer piece. Maybe some left-hand techniques would help as well.

We need more tutorials, just go on, with lots of comments!

Btw, r u satisfied with Korg SP250? I own a Roland HP101e now but want to change it for a more portable digital piano, like this one.

[Irismiam]

Hey Ben,

Thanks for your videos. They're very helpful for a beginner blues player like me.

[nurianahashim]

hey, never thought i'd start learning blues, u helped me with tht!

(one questn, whts the difference: blues n jazz ?)

[Nobomoss]

I believe jazz is slower then blues, not?

[fmeyer01]

Blues is normally slow - Boogie Woogie is quicker, often very quick. Some People say all Boogie Woogie is a part of Blues music. Jazz has all tempi and some People also say that Jazz derived from the Blues.

[85790192]

Blues and Jazz are two different styles. It's not only the tempo, but the scales, the rythms, the progressions and a lot of other stuff is totally different. I've been playing blues for several years now and a friend of mine is a professional jazz pianist, and honestly, I don't get what he does. And the same happens the other way around. Jazz is a little bit more complex than blues (it uses more chords, for instance).

[crazypianolady]

Jazz to me seems to be more mellow and complex. There are so many different types of jazz, blues is really quite basic in comparison! I'd love to progress on to jazz but not really sure where to start!

[ZakirisCool]

nice tut!!!thx!

[xxxtonivalenciaxxx]

thanks from spain

[keepnitreal2day]

I'm going to try that riff out. I love those blues, man! Thanks.

[hibastard]

Cool!

[brianmuntz]

Thanks man... if possible could you increase your spoken audio. The keyboard is load and clear but you are sometimes hard to hear. A request: Roadhouse!!!! thanks -Brian

[kesoyyokepasa]

[marietta31]

Estupendo, muchas gracias!! ( y eso que no entiendo ni una palabra pero ya se sabe, el lenguaje de la música es universal....)

[sirloathsome]
