[sangsang7172]

Awesome!

[Ivispork]

OK so thanks to your awesome vids I can play the melody of a song and the left hand chords to go with it. Will there be a tutorial on developing the inner voices? I have the worst time figuring out a harmony part to go with my right hand melody. Is there a special technique? Lol

[imike81]

[gsfilo123]

[CiZination]

LOL@HEART AND SOUL.

[chicaye90]

cannon is that song that they play in graduation songs i think..or sounds like it

they normally play it on a violin

[x3loveyuki]

or do u mean pomp and circumstance. gosh.

[bombardier9999]

Pretty sure you mean at weddings...

[ShikaaxLuy]

OMG! i looove you , I was trying to learn cannon D , you are sooo awsome! yeah officially now i'm your fan!

[WastedAutumn]

Thank you for this!

[grimsgirl137]

HEART AND SOUL! I just learned the left hand part from you, thanks! LOL. I could lay the upper part but I could never find the music for the lower half. Haha. Thanks to your example riff, I now know it. Haha.

[MiceSky]

i learn so much from these 5-10 minute videos.

thank you!!

[zu862]

canon??

[roseshower]

thank you very much. i am taking your lessons very seriously.

[DeviousBookworm]

I just wanted to say thank you for putting up all these videos. I'm a former violinist who now focuses entirely on the double bass and I have no background of piano whatsoever, but these videos are great for anyone who wants to learn to improvise or even compose. ^.^ And I'm even trying to apply these concepts to my own playing, though more for jazz than anything else.

[steven144]

what's the name of the song at the very beginning of the video... Im' not talking about heart and soul.

[MrBogdanel]

cannon in D?!?!?!

[razcritch]

cannon is a type of song and by d it means the key A-G

[Cazaq]

By D it means the key of D.

[energycore345]

yea....

[Breakable7]

what title is that song? i heard of it before?

[thirsokewl]

heart and soul

[Xentren]

It's just a funny ritm. As far as i know it doesn't has a real name.

[stardreams12]

whats the name of the song that you played at the beginig of the video?

[cursedreject]

it's an improv he made himself

[gatorandgirl]

do u mean the riff he played? cuz that was heart and soul

[pixiecass]

heart and soul. i think it was something from the loveboat, or a lame show like that....

im probably wrong. but yeah...,

[S0ulr34p3rz]

lol u played the left hand of canon for a bit =O

[nightmareprincess06]

Thank you for posting !!! These videos are awsome ^^_

[gacitejess]

I can hardly wait for #6!!!

[cursedreject]

i didnt smile.

[ddl1nz1mon]

Thanks for the help!

Do you have any experience with pedaling? I always get confused when to stop pedaling in things, thus making it sound like a smear of mess :/

[zetsumeikage]

From my experience (which is not a lot <_<;) I've noticed that they usually depress and repress the pedal when you start playing a new chord. See if that helps make it sound a little less chaotic. :D

[montrealelephant232]

right after you hit the note lightly release about 4/5 of the weight on the pedal and then push down again on the next chord etc

[Zeroknightxz]

For me, for example if your playing a song with a time signature of 4/4, I will lift the pedal after every measure (4 beats).

[ruudieboy123]

i leave the release and push down the pedal again when the bassline ends and a new one starts

[monster98012]

nice

[eatenbyyou]

nice video, it helped a bit

[funnysunproductions]

u should have an annotation linking the this video to the last one and so on for each vid ..and vis versa

[peebo0]

Did this video teach me how to make my own progressions? I really think it should be titled how to vary chord progressions since we are still left wondering how one pulls these sequences out of ones ass. But at least it's a start. I guess Will doesn't want to confuse everyone

[Iwillbot]

I didn't, I just tried to "define" it.

The improv that everyone will be doing next lesson will be a C A F G (like the intro/exit song). Later, I will discuss other chord progressions and hopefully people can explore more.

[Friday2031]

thank you

[Cheifbanidt]

Near the middle of the video, is that cannon by pachabel? It sounds just like it, and thanks for the tutorial, good job. woot 300th view

[WillTingMusic]

yes it was. 8 chord

[Erikispro]

@WillTingMusic the intro music sounds a lot like river flows in you.

:O

[vincentrioux]

Nice tutorial,but I'm from Quebec(Speak french) and doesn't understand those C,F,E blablabla thingsxD

Nice anyway,thx;)(I sue logic:P)

[simpsons225]

Oh wow, do you really name your chords and notes in French as well?

[Alex9366]

I'm sure they use Doe, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, and Te like many other countries.

[Starrym00nlight216]

Most countries use that method - like in the Philippines, they use that method instead of A, B, and C ^^

[shichi011]

i'm from philippines, but i'm using the a-g..

[dynadox]

Thanks!

[gacitejess]

I don't know what I would do without your videos. Thank you so much for posting these. You are very much appreciated!

[2Bored4AName]
