@@Travis-hp4jr thanks Travis, we really focus in on improvisation in the Rebel Piano programme. I just love doing this kind of thing 😊🎹
Agreed!
You cant beat the black keys, beautiful, thanks ❤️🎹.
Hah yes Anthony- less to worry about!!
it reminded me of when I was at college playing my friend's keyboard from the music department with absolutely zero knowledge about music just hitting random notes and getting carried away, never knew that years later I got my own keyboard and started playing my favorite songs
@@satriadibasuki wonderful! …the music of life 😊❤️🎹
Dear Rob! Thank you for sharing your incredible experience, passion for piano music, and creative talent! As a fellow musician, I feel your excitement and completely share it! This is the true art of improvisation! Love it!👏🎶🌷
@@MilaEmeraldMusic aww thanks Mila, this means a lot to me. I’ve just had a listen to your playing. Wow! You are so talented.
Thank you 🙏😊🎹❤️
Eb Aeolian pentatonic + 2nd degree... Sounds fantastic! ❤
@@seanonel oh wow …is that what it is! Brilliant and thanks Sean 🙏🌞🎹
@@robbeetube You’re welcome Rob! I love studying music theory, but I feel that I can learn a lot from your videos.
For those who are trying to understand how your scale works; here are my thoughts:
Eb is the relative minor of Gb. This means it contains exactly the same notes as Gb(F#) and shares the same Pentatonic scale, although it starts at Eb (the 6th (making it the Aeolian of Gb)) instead of Gb. By adding the F, you are introducing the major 7th to the Gb Pentatonic. However in Eb, it is the *_2nd_* degree of the scale instead of the 7th in Gb. You have created a lovely sound by adding it! Thank you for sharing!! 🙏
@@seanonel 🙏
Your energy in interaction is so addictive and musical too. thank you.

Thanks, found your tube channel only today, bought myself a Yamaha sx900 second hand, can't read music can't play piano, looked already some channels to keep me starting and learning, you Sir, are by far the best teacher, although of course one have to practice and practise, but with your method it's fun and with results. Thanks.
@@rodbtelenetbe Ronny! Thank you for this kind comment. Yes, keep working away at it - but make sure your practice sessions are ‘music sessions’! …this is what I teach in the Rebel Piano programme which reopens on 19th August. Click the link under the video and I’ll keep you informed.
Rob 😊🎹

This is excellent . Simple but sounds fantastic ☺️
@@PianoMen-hw5cu thanks so much. …yes, the beauty of simplicity 😊🎹
I improv on my page. I never had any training whatsoever. I started by learning Music Theory for a few years.
I would program notes into my Computer. To Compose. After a year of that, I wanted to play an actual instrument. We always had a stand up piano, so I started practicing. I used Scrolls from YT. I would copy every note it instructed. I've played 300-400 whole songs. Easy versions. It went out of tune. So, I got a keyboard and Amp. From there I've been Free-Styling for a year. My Fav Scales/Keys are D Minor, E Minor, C Phrygian, C Major, and D Dorian.
@@johnwebb4499 great John. Sounds like you’re really getting to make music. I love Dm - and the Dorian mode too 🎹🎹😊😊
wow, just found this.. love it! thank you.

@@richblaker9087 you’re welcome Rich 😊🎹
Merci beaucoup
@@CervantesMichel vous êtes les bienvenus 😊🎹
I like jamming along using these notes to Lamont Dozier's "Going Back To My Roots" You can use both his own version or Odyssey's they are both in the same key, it's great fun I often do it.
@@mrpooroldme brilliant- great song. I’ll look it up again now 😊🎹
Yesterday's salad must be ready😂❤

@@bobpx haha yes, that would kinda work! Ray Manzerak such a genius inventive keyboard player. He played all the bass parts on a little Fender Rhodes bass keyboard too 😊🙏
❤❤❤👍
Very enjoyable, I just have an issue of keeping rhythm with two hands. Am I am working on it 😊
@@kenbarry5623 great Ken - keep quietly working at it… and it WILL start to happen 😊🎹

@@cn1577 thank you 😊🎹
Thank you Rob. I would like to focus on cocktail, light jazz, lounge. How to do that with the method of improv you demoed in this video? Thank you from Mexico.
@@edwardfaircloth7990 Hey Edward, this is just a great method of making nice music using the black notes (mostly). I’ll do another video for that kind of music soon 😊🎹
Happy playing. Rob
It's excellent but in which key/scale are you playing? If I can guess you are playing in E flat minor scale,isn't it?But the flavour is like that of phrygian mode.Your clarification is needed. Thank you.
@@rumenerangabomoise5751 thanks …hmmm not sure!! Definitely Eb minorish 🎶
I’m just making music using the black notes (mostly). I’ll try and answer your question in the video description once I’ve spoken to my friend and musical mentor - who knows about these things! 😊🎹
Yes, please. It was my question too. Why does it work. What's the theory here (I never studied music theory beyond grade 2 level, wish I did.)
with all those black notes then that improv is in key of Gb or Cb. For theory reference look at the circle of 5ths and chord structure, it works because those notes fit together in tone.
@@bobpx thanks Bob that’s very helpful. As you’ve probably guessed- I’m not very good on theory, I’m learning all the time. I tend to discover/make music first - and then find out what I’m doing.
Wishing you happy pianoing. Rob 😊🙏
@@KatinkaPofmuis hey Karina, check out Bob’s answer below. I’m afraid I didn’t study theory either! But don’t let that lack of knowledge hold you back from experimenting and making music.
Rob 😊🎹
I'm gonna Steal this progression from you... I need to know what Key and Scale this is? (So I can build onto it)

@@johnwebb4499 hey John, it’s kinda Eb minor… mostly black notes 😊🎹
