    I played classical piano for 13 years and while it was fun and challenging learning different pieces, it ended up feeling like homework. I stopped playing for 2 or so years and only started again after watching some of your funk keys tutorials and wanted to try out all those licks and techniques. You've made me fall in love with playing piano again I'm so much more of a confident and flexible player now. Seriously cant thank you enough for this content, you're actually a legend.

    These such amazing practical videos. I've been playing piano professionally for years in clubs, bars and hotels and this lesson should be given to any keyboard player needing clear and effective direction to play and make money in modern music. You are a great teacher and a generous musician. Thanks and blessings.

    I loved all of that! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. I liked how you simplified the approach instead of immediately entering this mode or that mode scale which only seems to result in sounding like a bunch of scales instead of a well thought out solo. Keep up the fantastic work! Have a great day!

I'm essentially a bass player that has been playing for 50 years, and who can play keyboards to an average standard. I'm so excited by this video, and I look forward to taking it apart. Many thanks to you for sharing such knowledge with me.

  • @johnycat7373
    @johnycat7373 2 года назад +5

    Wow! Just wow! Even as a complete beginner ( just bought a workstation for my 60th- after years on the tenor Sax) I find this inspiring. I can relate so much through my Sax journey. I totally agree on finding the tonal centre and playing in one key (rather than following the Chord changes). I found this totally inspiring. Enthusiasm doesn’t diminish as you get old. (Referring to my age and others like me). What a brilliant and natural teacher.

  • @AlexG-bc7ji
    @AlexG-bc7ji 2 года назад

    Thanks Matt! I've been playing piano/keys for decades, but I've always struggled with soloing effectively--so much so that it's easier to solo well on guitar even though I haven't played that nearly as long as I've been on the keys. Looking forward to fully bridging the gap!

  • @bgbstrm2352
    @bgbstrm2352 2 года назад +2

    This is invaluable. Been in and out of playing. Done some composing, rock, blues, classical etc, but never gotten to the point where I can solo and elaborate. My dream to sit in a bar/restaurant and entertain people, and be able to do solos, without getting boring. And of course play with a band. There's this guy, Carli Muñoz, who played with lots of wellknown artists, Wilson Pickett, Association, George Benson - and my favorite band the Beach Boys. Now he mostly entertains people with jazz music etc in his bar in Puerto Rico. Wonderful! So thanks a lot for your videos! Awesome! Now I have some practising to do....😊😉👍👏🎵🎼🎹

I’m an acoustic guitar / mandolin blues player who can only play keys in Cm so I kept away from keyboards ( which I love) but hearing your words ( and your soloing over altered chords) has helped me decide . I really need to get myself a decent keyboard and go for it … thanks for giving me the push forward I needed.
