  • How to improvise on piano: close your eyes and hit the keys.

  • What should I do with my fingers again?

  • ......The hell did I just watch?

  • @SkullBaluchimon101 I love you :) <3

  • @quirkjerks get a teacher. buy books. what ever you do; dont look on expertvillage

  • @quirkjerks this wont teach you to play, id carry on learning cold turkey.. or if you do fancy doing some easy improv then learn the jazz scales.. everything you play like this sounds like chopsticks

  • @Hatebreeder92 the reason why you can play the black keys however you want is because they are a pentatonic scale and have no clashing notes between them, you cant do the same thing with the white notes, well, you can but not with all of them.. a pentatonic scale on the white keys would be like a, c, d, e, g, a.. personally though i think this is a crap way to learn to improvise..

  • cool video.. you look like a girl a dated years ago in a scary way.. she sucked at playing the piano tho and could never make a video to help anyone learn anything cause she was a retard.. but you seem cool.. keep teaching the people how to jam!

  • The reason why "black keys" other wise known as sharps or flats always work is because in the keys of B, F#(g flat) and c#(d flat) you use all of them so they're all in the key you can do the same thing with white keys because they're all in the key of C.

  • why do hippies get so caught up with Ab7sus4??
