Your “basic” lessons are brilliant! Please continue these snippet lessons. So much beauty in the simplicity of your teaching for all levels of play. Bravo Bravo Bravo!
I’m a relatively experienced player and I still get so much out of these tips because of the simple way Jack looks at them. It’s a good reminder that not everything has to be thought of in theory terms and sometimes it’s good to just rely on simple shapes and patterns that you know sound great
Thanks for the lesson, perfect for someone at my skill level....0 instruction and just pretty much by ear. The big and rich chords with the squibees is all I need to get going.
So awesome. Played along... or tried to. Obviously need a little practice but so simple. Technique touch and feel are that's required ;). Love it and thank you.
I just love the way you break things down for your audience to absorb. I’m getting back into playing keyboards after 50 years and I’m picking up all kinds of great stuff from your videos. Back in the late 60’s and early 70’s I played a Farfisa combo compact deluxe through a ‘68 Fender Bassman with two cabinets. The keyboard technology is so amazing now. Last summer I picked up a used Yamaha YPT 220 for $100 to see what it sounded like through an amp. That got me looking for what was the next step up and found your great equipment reviews on the Anderton’s site. After comparing endless reviews over the past two months, I just ordered a Nord Electro 6D and am looking forward to learning to make some of the great sounds I’m seeing on the demos. Your playing style and energetic presentation are an inspiration to an old fart like me. Tell Nord they owe you a new Stage 4 for selling so many keyboards for them. Keep up the great videos!
You make this so easy and so much fun! It’s great to have a few ways to spice up what you’re playing. Loved your closing piano piece. Gives us duffers something to strive for.
Jack, you're killing me. I've been watching you review synths & keyboards and having a jolly then you go and start a series where we discover you are not only a great player of instruments, you are THE best instructor. Simple, to the point, witty yet informative. I've tried learning piano chords, play around with 3 & 4 voice synthesizers now you do this and now I need either a better keyboard (that Casio looks & sounds great btw), or plumb for the Deepmind 12. Either way my wife is going to pull her hair out yet again. :-)
Fantastic Jack! Need more licks from ya to go with squibbin and nubbins! You da man. Thanks for getting us all past just being "Octave grabbers" - Fletch
I want to thank you for these lessons ... and please keep them coming. I am a guitarist who has recently decided to take up piano for fun (you know ... lockdown and all ... needed new toys to keep me busy). Your teaching style fits very well with how I learned guitar ... just play what sounds good ... having said that, I learned that by kind people giving me hints as to what notes would sound good together. The next lesson sounds fantastic.
These lessons are great! Getting loads out of them that really helps things sound great! Can you talk a bit about how you use the peddle? Very new to the piano it would be great to know more about how to use it to create different sounds and moods. Thanks!
I'm loving these lessons!! I've been playing around with the sus2 chord shape and trying to play it in different keys with the squib (on the Juno I bought from Andertons :-)), I really love that sound. Please keep making these lessons, they're awesome!!!
Need some left hand tricks now.... My right is pretty decent - but my left.... I either plat route notes, route octaves, octaves plus 5ths - or triads with left hand (mirroring right or under a melody). Left hand walks, or counter chords etc... not a clue.
This series is so good, love Jack's style and approach to this. Even for non beginners its an interesting look at playing styles. Thanks so much. Would love to get some insights into maybe some more synth orientated stuff too - i love the demos you put together here ruclips.net/video/8PlaxbAVajw/видео.html and would love to learn how to improvise like this. Maybe something for the future?

You are the best piano teacher I have ever seen! tnx m8

These are awesome! Please keep making them and put the lesson numbers in the title!
Thanks for the lesson, perfect for someone at my skill level....0 instruction and just pretty much by ear. The big and rich chords with the squibees is all I need to get going.
Wow. That's amazing tips bro!
Simply the best instruction on RUclips !! I would gladly, happily pay for an andertons course
Thanks so much for making this epic video. Love your style.
So awesome. Played along... or tried to. Obviously need a little practice but so simple. Technique touch and feel are that's required ;). Love it and thank you.

Love the split screen... helps a great deal
This is really helpful, Jack ... more, more, more (please!) 👍
The best channel so far for me about piano
Dooooood Please make more of these!!!!!!!
Amazing!!! This is a Masterclass, please keep showing us this stuff. Jack your tutorials have made the Lockdown worthwhile 🤣🤣👏🏾🔥
Love these. As a guitar player now learning the piano, I'm all about licks. Thanks Jack!
Fantastic. Please Sir, more.

Wow .. thanks Jack to continue to bring this out... Really great stuff. Please keep it coming.
Really awesome that you do this for us all! Super cool!
Great stuff mate. Dont doubt yourself throughout your lesson. You're doing a great job!
Please make the same Formate for Intermediate or “Pros“ 💪💪
Yes please!! Jack, make it happen.
These lessons are great! Getting loads out of them that really helps things sound great!
Can you talk a bit about how you use the peddle? Very new to the piano it would be great to know more about how to use it to create different sounds and moods. Thanks!
He is such a nice guy! Keep it up mate! Really humble/sweet presenters at andertons. Love your vids
Thanks so much I've learned a lot from you Sir !!
Recappin’ the nubbin’s! Cheers, D
Always here for the recap!
Excellent vid again Jack
Great lesson Jack. The lick sounds similar to Marc Broussard's Lonely Night In Georgia! And yeah, James Taylor's One Man Band is awesome!
This is super helpful. Almost like doing flams on drums!
So good Thankyou❤
I'm loving these lessons!! I've been playing around with the sus2 chord shape and trying to play it in different keys with the squib (on the Juno I bought from Andertons :-)), I really love that sound. Please keep making these lessons, they're awesome!!!
Hey, just what I need! 👍🏻🎹
Enjoy the lesson!
Would love more organ tips 😁
So a squib + lick combined would be a squick?
I hear a bit of Jackson Browne...
Very nice, why does Floyd Cramer keep coming into my head?
Need some left hand tricks now.... My right is pretty decent - but my left.... I either plat route notes, route octaves, octaves plus 5ths - or triads with left hand (mirroring right or under a melody). Left hand walks, or counter chords etc... not a clue.
Turnaround licks?
will Larry Goldings respond to the shoutout in the comments? :-D
This series is so good, love Jack's style and approach to this. Even for non beginners its an interesting look at playing styles. Thanks so much.

Now I know why so many piano songs are written in the key of C. It's much easier to play in.
Making urself busy i see
