The "Floyd Lick" is such a simple thing that adds so much! It's truly a "more with less" type style that is unmistakably Floyd Kramer. Also, Professor Longhair had an instantly recognizable sound that, hopefully, you could cover in a future video. I've learned so much from your channel!
Thank you. This was a great lesson and put me in mind of a few songs, including Love Letters (with embelishments) and He'll Have To Go. I can't wait to give this methods a try.
Indeed it does really sound like Take it to the limit by The Eagles. On today's viewing, I could not help reaching out on Spotify for it to confirm as I had somehow forgotten you gave it in at the end of the video.
Great and very practical lesson. Reminded me of "Old 55" by Tom Waits although I think what they do in that tune is more of a little suspension or I-IV turnaround.
@@UniverseofKeys thank you. I’m 53 and I have played music all my life. Now that I’m retired, I have decided to learn how to play the piano. I’m learning southern gospel. Thank you for your videos.
@@UniverseofKeys Floyd recorded the song Last Date in 1960. I was 10 years old then and had been talking piano lessons for about 4 years. His style made its way into my bag of licks.
I appreciate your patience and teaching so much but dude remember when you were a beginner? This stuff is SO F-ING HARD just to space out two fingers from a current placement like you’re doing around 1:30. Feels like practice isn’t helping. And they say, “If you’re not having fun with it, Don’t do it.” Well I’m reminded of the days I’d play Nintendo and feel like breaking the controller over my knee bc it gets so damn difficult at times. AND THIS IS SLOW STUFF!! Jud’s getting frustrated!
Thank you for taking time to teach us learners this. Jesus Christ bless you. Ave Maria 🎉🎉🎉
🙏❤️

I’m playing some augmented chords but my songs still sound country and blue grass and I want to convert them to pop and rock too.
Aug chords are cool! Thanks for watching :)
@@UniverseofKeys Thank you and thanks for your response.
haha , so good brother, yeah! And hey, we're not talking PINK FLOYD here either! (But they did get their from Cramer , absolutely! ]
:) Thanks for checking it out!!
That's wild, reminds me so much of December 1963 by Frankie Valli and Turn Me On by Norah Jones
Love Norah!!
I looked at all the comments before I asked. What Yamaha piano are you playing? What is the model number?
Hello :). It is a Yamaha P125. It is an entry level piano that sells for under $1000. Yamaha makes great gear!!!! Thanks for watching!!
@@UniverseofKeys thank you. I’m 53 and I have played music all my life. Now that I’m retired, I have decided to learn how to play the piano. I’m learning southern gospel. Thank you for your videos.

Thanks. Can you share a tutorial on type for runs for western style hymns - (Its Jesus and me)
I will look into it!
Thanks for another great video, Mike! Is “Floyd lick” a reference to Pink Floyd or something else?
It is a reference to Floyd Cramer the famous country piano player who was the creator of the "slip note" piano style!! Thanks for watching!!

@@mikegraves3673 That's a great influence to have!
Now, that's something to chew on. Thanks.
Thank you!! 🙏 🙏🎹🎹
You kind of sound like Norm MacDonald if I close my eyes.
0:25 So we're gonna work in the KFC
😂
I instantly was like “LEAN ON ME”
Totally!!
👍🏾👍🏾

Exactly!
