Thank you so much, as a left handed guitar player I always struggled to really transpose those scale runs on keyboard/piano, especially descending ones.
The addition of the thumb kind of upsets our normal guitar patterns, I’m so glad I could help! The revelation for me was that when I play guitar I use 124 and 134 finger patterns almost exclusively, so there had to be a piano equivalent. If you ever need any more clarification please ask I love talking about stuff like this!
@@abetreblebass hello there again. I've been working on several scales, but one in particular has been giving me trouble. The Eb/D# minor scale has every black key involved and I've been trying to apply the technique logically, but failed so far? What are your thoughts on this? I'm working on a piece that would need such descending patterns in the scale of Eb minor. Once again I'm writing my solos/leads on guitar and try to apply them on to keys. Greetings
I forgot to mention that I had an. Accident a couple of years ago and my right hand pinky is not as flexible as it used to be, but I'm sure there's a way around that. It worked on guitar somehow
@@Metalltool so this is a perfect example of what I’m talking about. I’m actually gonna do a video on the black key scales soon but let me just explain to you in shorthand. In Eb minor there is a group of four notes starting on F and a set of three notes starting on B (Cflat). So the scale starts on the last note of the 3 group. No pinky in this one!
Wow, I wish they had these videos and transcriptions when I was a kid trying desperately to learn how to play jazz but being so locked into the printed score as a classical music student. Thanks much for this.
@@JJTownley_Classical-Composer you’re just like me! I come from a classical background and have had to find my own ways to branch out. Perhaps for Jazz and Pop the printed score is NOT the heart of the matter. Go forth and shred my friend, I’m sure you have the ear to grab whatever harmony you hear 👂
Six or five notes alternating with four notes per beat is fun. To get the best sound try to slow each note down rather than trying to get to the next note immediately
@@5zazen this is sage advice! In fact in general we should point out that speed comes later. Getting the feel of the transition is the important part. Thank you for reminding me!
Since I have switched to a ROLI Seaboard as my primary instrument I quickly found it is hard to shred the same way as on guitar. I'm getting better just with time but tips like these are great for me.
You do me such a kindness!! I am very curious about the seaboard, it seems really unique for a modern instrument and the possibilities seem endless. Check this video out, it will help you even more than anything I’ve said. ruclips.net/video/N6d9Q3uRXak/видео.htmlsi=ZAbR4HAqbRdAjKv3

@@jan-jans143 good stuff! I’ll be posting more of all of that soon. I also offer private lessons to go more in depth if it’s not enough what I put up here.
@@abetreblebass it's impossible to learn one by one directly with Jordan, so if you dedicate your content for newbie player, I would happy if you share some tips for audiences how to be a keyboard shredder player even the level is very beginner.Thanks
@@zulfikarrahmat871 happy to do so!! Of course the most important thing to remember is you must play it slow enough that you can make it even, whatever you play. Even these examples in this video can be played slowly by a beginner and then sped up. Tune in for more tips!
@@MTH1976GIT I had two fingering explanations in the video, one on arpeggios and one on scales. The arpeggios I simply strive to play without the ring finger, making use of fingers 1235. The scales I explain about halfway through the video are built up of patterns of three and four. That means fingers 123 and fingers 1234. It works for black key scales as well, they just don’t start on finger 1. They usually start on finger 2 or even 3. I hope that helps. Not using finger 4 on arpeggios is a comfort choice which makes speed more possible. On 3 note arpeggios you can totally use finger 4 a la 124 or even 134 if it works.
@ oh my friend the idea is this applies to ANY arpeggio or scale. These are concepts to apply to whatever scale or arp you can find so that ultimately switching between arps and scales is not difficult. But let’s take your example and flesh it out. On a basic C major scale that would be CDE with fingers 123 and then FGAB with fingers 1234. You repeat this pattern as many times as you want or as your keyboard allows. Similarly on the arp for c major you would play CEGC, four notes which contain the arp in an octave, with fingers 1235 or omit the last note and repeat fingers 123 to keep the arp moving. Lastly I will say that while shredding is as you say from exercising over and over, it’s mostly about relaxing your muscles into it. Nobody can shred whose hand is tense or who is pushing too hard with their fingers. Fingering is about finding a comfortable easy way to play something and to play it the same WAY over and over. That’s the missing link. Note names and such are actually arbitrary to the idea of “shredding” in the sense that if you keep your wrist arm and fingers loose and light you can apply these fingerings to anything and get the same results.

@ what i mean is, go very slowly and explain every note that you are playing slowly. Shredding comes from exercise over and over
