This is the best blues tutorial for beginners on piano. Most people use big terms and go way to fast. This channel has figured out how to talk to beginners.
Ha, yup. I have a really intense in-real-life instructor and I just sit at the piano and laugh the whole time - after about 10 lessons he just figured out "he may be assuming too much..." If I happen to get lucky getting something right on the first try, that does not mean I have any clue to what I am really doing at this point, too funny.
@@Hedonkeviik Well, he was a very traditional piano instructor and I'd be lying if I said I didn't use covid separation to end lessons from him and get a more contemporary instructor from Atlanta over Zoom. The first instructor was walking methodically through an Alfred's book. It had its place but the second instructor was more about sound shaping, chords, getting hands independence.
I know a lesson is really good when I can’t wait to put my hand on a keyboard! And that last bit you said about being in smoky rooms is so true. These simple lessons can set off a world of creativity. I remember watching guitar lessons on RUclips before I even had my own guitar. That was 2006 and by 2020, music has taken me all over the world and I’m just getting started. I hope this inspires a generation of blues pianists.
I return to this video from time to time, whenever I need to feel good, because that’s what blues does to a soul. These have been hard times for just about everyone in the world. I especially appreciate this lesson now more than ever. Thanks again for sharing, Jordan, you are a talented musician and teacher. It seems you are no longer with Pianote. I wish you well wherever you are.
Man when you can teach me, you can teach anyone. I love the way you broke it down. You kept it simple and to the point. You are a GREAT TEACHER. All I have to do is practice. Practice make perfect. Lol
I know nothing about music. I know nothing about piano. However this video showed me how those two things feels. This literally shows the composition of music and how much work it requires. It shows too how valuable musicians are and how difficult the whole career is. There are gifted people like Lang Lang and other top musicians showing their talent. Now I know why they are so valuable. THIS IS THE VIDEO that shows everybody how music is build. Videos like this goes throughout the nitty gritty details of music. This is SERVICE. Your channel serves music.
i am 10 and my dad and i love the blues, dub pistles and the freestylers i love your music so much and you guys are the only reason you always put me in a positive mood i play piano i love you guys so much. Amen xxx
These people are great. I've been playing for 33 years and a lot of stuff like this, I had to teach myself because my teachers were horrible back in the day, so all new and learning pianists (I'm still learning today) need to watch this because THIS is the start of where playing piano can be fun!! After teaching myself this about 25 years ago, I can't begin to tell you how many endless jam sessions starting with just this pattern (usually in C or G depending on what key harmonica some of the other musicians had on them at the time.) That being said, I haven't gone down this path in a while and I am gonna bust out a 12 bar pattern tomorrow for my kids and see if they get grooving!
So nice to get a good starting point - fitting the left hand shuffle to the right hand triplets, then get the other stuff later. I have been trying this for about a year, and I can see how this is going to work for me now, especially if I slow it right down. Thanks for posting.
Thank y'all for this channel. I just recently got a keyboard and I've learned so much. Some things have helped me understand more on other instruments (bass and guitar). I greatly appreciate the content! ♡
Very much appreciate the pace and repetition of your instruction. All it needs now is our guts and persistence to sit down and follow your guidance! Great close by the way because it allows us to hear the original bones you showed us in a fully developed passage. Thanks.
I'm not a piano player. I'm a guitar player who has been playing the Blues for over 40 years. I have a keyboard at home. I can suss out the chords. What's difficult for me is maintaining a solid groove with my left hand while riffing on my right hand. It helps to think of a shuffle as swung 8ths, essentially a triplet feel. This makes right hand triplets fall in place. It's still tricky. Piano is fun! This lesson taught me a lot. Not only about piano, but about what I had been doing on guitar for decades without realizing why. Thanks.
Thank you so much. I’m a guitar player kind of fooling around on the piano this helped me so much I’ve been able to figure out so much through this one video. A year ago I tried learning this didn’t play piano since I’ve just been playing lots of guitar so my ear is trained a lot better this was like the best building blocks video for improvising blues on the piano.
Thank you so much! I'm new in a band and wanted to learn this. So I took piano lessons figuring I would learn all this stuff. I took lessons for two months and I'm very disappointed. I learned more from you here on this video! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for the video. It really helped! Could you please make a series of videos to teach us how to play like you did in the end? With the blues piano soloing? I really loved it.
I bought a 32 keyboard recently mainly as a midi controller/sound design tool but I am loving just playing, learning and writing music with it. Having such a wonderful time trying different piano styles! The problem is I need more keys! I followed this tutorial either one handed or stuffed into two adjacent octaves haha. Great video though, can't wait until I can buy a bigger keyboard and I'll certainly come back here when I do.
Wow!!! so Happy I discovered you playing the blues here..I have been wanting to learn them forever. FInally, on JULY 4th..INDEPENDENCE DAY..I AM FREE TO BOOGIE ON!!..IN hAWAII, where I live.. no Smoky bars..but lots of Volcanic Fire! Thank you Mr. Pianonote. I have enJOYed playing with you here and in other tutorials. HAPPY jULY 4TH, and Everything else!! Aloha Nui Loa.
Thank you so much! I was watching a documentary on Link Wray and Howlin' Wolf and heard that Piano in the background. Wondered how it was played for the Blues. Can't wait to try this out.
Thanks Jordan great tutorial,,Woo the 12 Bar Blue's,, I'm not quite there yet,, but I'm going to give the,, Blue's a run for its money although im striving forward at steady pace classic.

I had to slow down the playback to understand what he was doing.

Wow. Jordan killed it. Another great beginner blues lesson. I think I’ll have a hard time playing anything other than blues now.

Very clear and eloquent explanation. You play so well - even the elementary passages are enjoyable! Thank you. Would love to play as well as you do
Thank you so much. I’m a singer and musician myself. I played this and literally ten minutes later I sped it up and it’s sounds amazing ❤️
I found this lesson to be too easy! I must be doing something wrong! Seriously! Brilliant Lesson!
