Hello,

I just wrote your finger patterns for the right hand and am just loving it!!

Whizzing up and down my C# scale and it sounds great.

Q1: Is there a way to capture each scale and loop them in video mode?

E.g. One loop for C,another for C# and so on.

Trying to teach my 8 year old some piano and I think you videos could be the trick.

All the best!!

@tractorbooty15 Hi, I've just posted a link to a sheet that has all the finger patterns written out showing which fingers to use for each scale.

I've used this method with students before and it seems to work!

Thanks for the motivation as I've been meaning to compete this sheet for a while now!

Peace!

Hello,

Really helpful as I am a guitarist trying to get my head around the keyboard.

Q1:Do you plan to do any left hand exercises as all I know is playing the root in octaves? (Maybe that's alI I will ever need.)

Thanks for your excellent work!!

@tractorbooty15 Hi, If you check the playlist for piano lessons step by step there are a couple of excerises for left hand. I call them 1-5-8 and 1-5-8-9-10 technique.

Thanks for the feedback.

Peace!

i could never figure out the reasoning behind using certain fingering for certain scales...

does that mean whne you playing pieces in that scale you should only use those fingers to play those notes...?

whats the point theN?

@dopemcee It just makes it easier to flow if you're playing a long scale/run/improv.

Also If you've practiced and it becomes a muscular memory response it also makes it easier to visualize the scale without playing it, which is handy for working out chords until you've also got those in your muscular memory too. You could use your own patterns if you stick to them but you'll find that these are pretty ergonomic.

@kahikokane thanks for letting me know. You've actually reminded me about a work in progress. Peace!

Great, but like several piano videos i've watched, it's hard to see exactly which notes he plays...and don't forget we are beginners!

i'm not sure 100% if I'm playing the right notes or note. and it takes for ever to check, back and forth, pause and play, but I can never see through fingers good enough to be sure...
