Jack's the Man! He's taken Pentatonic licks and rebranded it as "The Squib Squib!" Lord I wish someone had taught me like this when I first started playing...it would have spared me so many years of stagnant frustration 🤷🏾♂️ 👏🏾🙏🏾🔥🔥
I've played piano on and off for a few years. Then I hear Jack messing around with simple patterns in C major, and realise I know NOTHING... Hope you keep this series going. It's just as useful for people like me (who can't play without sheet music) as it is for beginners.
This is such a gem. I've known and understood chords/music theory on piano for years. But I've never been able to do the 'squib squib' to make me sound like anything more than a chord striker. Brilliant....now I just have to learn it in a bunch of other keys lol (or make liberal use of my keyboards' transpose feature - EVERY SONG IN C!). And yes more Synth videos and a lick video plz.
Have watched Piano Vids for years... Possibly the BEST video I've seen. Directed to novices in such an encouraging format. Doood Please continue. This is actually amazing... (running off to show my 7 year old daughter this magIC)!
Wow , I might be wrong but that was absolutely the best that I’ve never seen taught or explained in such detail. Not to mention entertaining,. Go Jack.
I'm sorry if I quite often miss to click that like-button, but most of the time I just want to see your next video immediately since all your content is really amazing. This series I just found, but I really like your reviews and have seen alot of them since I found your channel a month ago or so. Keep them coming, please!
I love these videos! I've been playing for ~15 years and started with the whole classical training/music theory stuff. But I grew to become so upset with myself because I wasn't as good as people who had been playing for as long as or even for lesser time than I had been playing. I love the piano as an instrument and should be able to feel good playing it and improvising without my credentials only entailing "oh I can play this piece by this composer" and so on (because tbh I don't remember those pieces anymore). Now I'm rediscovering and re-learning the piano more fluidly without all the pressures of executing classical pieces perfectly, being at X level, blah blah blah. Now I'm just trying to create rather than replicate and it's exciting. Your videos are helping me with that!!
You’re a breath of fresh air. I only got to grade 4 piano at 11, now 53 I want to learn in a none classical way and just enjoy the piano. You’ve now opened that possibility, thank you.
Just loving these videos Jack. At 50, I've decided to try and learn the piano. Lockdown stopped me getting a teacher but these videos have been a great way to get me going :)
Thank you Jack! This is exactly what I've been looking for most of my life. There are millions of piano or music teachers out there. You seem to be the only one who got it: music should be fun! All other teachers explain that the fun comes automatically - after struggling through dry routines. You, on the other hand, have fun right away - and the routine comes automatically by itself. How right you are!
Great stuff my man…just bought an SK1-66 I’m a double bass player but can’t find a B3 player for the band so, I’ve bit the bullet…. I love your technique ….I’m 70 years old but been playing since I was 15…. And played a million gigs and still loving it…so, I’m looking for the basics and I’m not trying to be an Oscar Peterson and you are really helping me …cheers mate from Down Under ..keep Rockin Mick Power Brisbane Australia ….👌
Oh man, you get me smiling! You way of teaching is just phenomenal, so different but so not boring! Thanks for teaching us this technique. This is your ‘thing’ and you share it with us. Thanks!!
Thank you Jack, you are an amazing teacher! Although I’ve been playing keyboards and using these techniques for many years, I still found this lesson very helpful. The clarity and simplicity in how you explained and demonstrated this technique makes it easier for me to incorporate into my playing with less thinking. Less thinking while playing results in more creative expression and joy. Please keep the lessons coming!
Maaaan!!! This is outstanding! I have been playing keys for like a year and after this video I am just looking for a local Baptist church to hit them with a gig! Please keep going!
years of tinkering on pianos. finding all the right chords by ear.....even though they were the right notes, i never got that sound that gave me that piano semi. turns out I just hadnt caught the squibs. simple as that. jack.........what a great teacher you are fella. i want to drive down to andertons when you (and luke from korg )pop in and buy 2 workstations and whatever else i need. ace teacher, ace guests must be a music shop worth driving 4.5 hours to get to.

This is not too much. This is too little. Why nobody told be about THE SQUIB? Amazing video. Thank you.
Oh my God. This lesson is an absolute gold mine. Definitely not content usually given out for free. Thank you for filling a huge gap in my playing for me. I needed this video. I love that you're helping people learn without the stress of theory. Theory can be too involved sometimes and take a lot of the magic away.
I've been playing piano for many years (mostly self-taught) and watching tutorial videos and i find your lessons so easy to understand you are a very good teacher and I'm learning a lot and more motivated. Thank you for shearing your knowlage. sory for my spelling, I'm a french speeking Québécois. Keep up the very good work!!! :)
The 'squib' is definitely an eye and ear opening lesson for me. Revisiting piano after 10 years again while having played guitar in between and therefore the hammer-on analogy is spot on. Thanks a lot for this! One thing the corona crisis is good for is that Jack has so much time for this instead of touring ;-)
Yo yo yo!! I got the pedal for Xmas, taught myself it in 10mins, now off to the studio to get Squibbin’ awesome stuff commander!! 🤩😎 ps. got the t-shirt too haha
thanks Jack! :) Yeah, an upcoming video with some riffs or patterns would be much appreciated. This Casio really "sings" paired with your magnificent taste and fingers. hahaha! Cheers
Always enjoy your videos. Great sense of humor sir. This lesson is very helpful. I just started piano about 6 months ago and I love it. I'm going to practice this squib thing this week. I think I can get this.
Evening Jack, a huge thank you! I missed your posts in lockdown #1 ugh! At that time I dug out my old Korg M1 from the loft (replacing the internal battery) to see if I could find a little inspiration and do better now than back in the 80’s. Wish I’d seen this then as your laid back style, approach and simplicity make learning so much fun and easier than other RUclips vids! An inspiration and now I’m looking for something a little more modern but not too sure where to start, a midi controller such as Native Instruments S61 MKII / Novation SL61 MKIII or a Workstation like Synth such as the Korg Kross 2 / Krome EX or Roland JunoDS / FA06? Aware that these are mostly 2+ years old, so should I hold out for potential new versions later this year or has COVID put a likely stop to that? AJ 🙌🏼👏🏼
Just discovered that Jack did a series of these... awesome. What a wealth of fun, great knowledge and technique. Love to hear you play in all your review videos. Thanks again! Quick question, though-- re: the fingering (15:00)... traditional root-position triad fingering (1 3 and 5) no good? I've seen a lot of people play with the traditional fingering, doing the same thing. Is the thumb/index/middle preferred? Thx!
What a Great video..thank you so much..you really have a great way of breaking down what would normally be difficult concepts to learn from a book...keep up the great videos as you're very appreciated...I think I speak for alot of us out here...Great teacher💯👌🏾
This is a fantastic series of videos guys, great tips to elevate your playing. Going to be working on adding the squib to the bank over over the next few days. Keep them coming 👌
Hi Jack and keep 'em coming....getting so much out of them and really appreciate what you're doing....a licks video would be great and also wondered if you'd consider reviewing the Kurzweil SP6 to complement the SP1 review you've completed recently......Cheers and really appreciate it!
Hey Jack and the Andertons Clan :D! Could you do a Nord Stage 3 tips and tricks video just going over some work flow things or just stuff you use on your stage 3 like the video you did when you looked at your James Arthur keys rig with the NS3 and NE6 (great video by the way). Thanks again for all the vids you do they're always great to watch :D)

Exactly my reaction, couldn't agree more. Definitely the best piano video!
If you apply the damper pedal, do you get a damp squib?
Wow , I might be wrong but that was absolutely the best that I’ve never seen taught or explained in such detail. Not to mention entertaining,. Go Jack.
This is one of the best piano tutorial videos I’ve seen on RUclips, thanks so much for your time. Please keep them coming!
That was really useful, a lick video would be great!
Thank you , thank you so much for your time and these great "how to play piano" videos.. Please, keep doing it!
Squibbing... = Crushed notes. Very cool video.
I squibed so much on my keyboard I became a wizard-born Muggle. Loved the vid! It made me LAL (Laugh and Learn).
thank u
OMG! I am playing the squib... AND I LOVE IT! I feel like I am actually playing piano and learning new stuff. Thanks for making my evening.

Great teaching skills brother.
Please keep em' coming.
I'm 37% less suicidal while playing piano.
You're saving lives one squib at a time...
You’re a breath of fresh air. I only got to grade 4 piano at 11, now 53 I want to learn in a none classical way and just enjoy the piano. You’ve now opened that possibility, thank you.
thanks to Jack I have embraced my inner noodler...
Just loving these videos Jack.
At 50, I've decided to try and learn the piano. Lockdown stopped me getting a teacher but these videos have been a great way to get me going :)
Don’t miss this one. A real Gem of a lesson. Don’t think this is just for a couple of tunes. Brilliant explanation

Love these videos
Looking forward to a licks video!
How about a video about borrowing riffs from popular pieces and employing them in playing like your squib?
Yes, a lick video would be awesome! This is great.I'm learning a lot
Oh man, you get me smiling! You way of teaching is just phenomenal, so different but so not boring! Thanks for teaching us this technique. This is your ‘thing’ and you share it with us. Thanks!!

Love these and Matt Johnson’s vids, keeping me sane👍, thanks Jack

These lessons are just so excellent. Immediately usable techniques taught in such an intuitive and enjoyable fashion. Excellent!! Kudos.
This is exactly how I want to play piano! Thanks for sharing your techniques.

This is perfection
Good tips for beginners
Awesome mate :-) You videos make me smile and also make me look at Andertons shop before any of the others.
I'm learning and laughing and learning and laughing. I like you, Jack.
Oh Maaaan, thanks Rob, I like you right back Brother!
Excellent instruction!!!
thanks Jack! :) Yeah, an upcoming video with some riffs or patterns would be much appreciated. This Casio really "sings" paired with your magnificent taste and fingers. hahaha! Cheers
Very cool Jack 👍
this is how piano should be taught 🤯 thanks man!
This is exactly the lesson I needed. Amazing, and thank you.
That was GREAT! Simple and straightforward! We would be grateful if you upload more videos like that!
Always enjoy your videos. Great sense of humor sir. This lesson is very helpful. I just started piano about 6 months ago and I love it. I'm going to practice this squib thing this week. I think I can get this.
Keep these coming! Music, learning and laughter ♥️ perfect mix 😆💪🏼
I'm just on tutorial #4 but I love your lessons. Learning some fun tricks here. Thank you!
Thanks so much for the kind comment Martin and thanks also for tuning in. Really appreciate it
@@jackduxburymusic Thank you for your great work! It's always a joy.
So glad I found your lessons. They are most useful.
These are brilliant. Bang on! Subscribed.
this one was especially nice. thanks!
No worries Brother, thanks for watching mate
Just came across this. You have a gift for teaching my friend. Thank you
Hi Jack, are you going to put up more of this? very inspiring would be really interested in the next step.
Loving these videos! Great to be getting some bits to make things sound fancy at a beginner level. Super fun presenter guy too
Evening Jack, a huge thank you! I missed your posts in lockdown #1 ugh! At that time I dug out my old Korg M1 from the loft (replacing the internal battery) to see if I could find a little inspiration and do better now than back in the 80’s. Wish I’d seen this then as your laid back style, approach and simplicity make learning so much fun and easier than other RUclips vids! An inspiration and now I’m looking for something a little more modern but not too sure where to start, a midi controller such as Native Instruments S61 MKII / Novation SL61 MKIII or a Workstation like Synth such as the Korg Kross 2 / Krome EX or Roland JunoDS / FA06? Aware that these are mostly 2+ years old, so should I hold out for potential new versions later this year or has COVID put a likely stop to that? AJ 🙌🏼👏🏼

Lovely . Keep it up
This is amazing! Keep up this great work Sir!
Helps a lot mate thanks for this
Really useful Jack, exactly what I was looking for, thanks
What a Great video..thank you so much..you really have a great way of breaking down what would normally be difficult concepts to learn from a book...keep up the great videos as you're very appreciated...I think I speak for alot of us out here...Great teacher💯👌🏾
Squib my way up to the top!
brilliant
This is brilliant ! A game changer!
This is great stuff, Jack! Thanks so much.👍🎹
Jack Rules🙏🏼
Cool lesson Jack/Andertons. Thanks : D
❤️
LOL - loved this
This is a fantastic series of videos guys, great tips to elevate your playing. Going to be working on adding the squib to the bank over over the next few days. Keep them coming 👌
Great video!
I need to practice this
Yeah can you go in to more detail well impressed with your lessons
Hi Jack and keep 'em coming....getting so much out of them and really appreciate what you're doing....a licks video would be great and also wondered if you'd consider reviewing the Kurzweil SP6 to complement the SP1 review you've completed recently......Cheers and really appreciate it!
Solid gold!
squib squib 💪🏻
ahhahahhahaha awesome vid :) nice who needs the pinky when we got a thumb! hahahahah
good video ! leaks will be good :D
Hey Jack and the Andertons Clan :D! Could you do a Nord Stage 3 tips and tricks video just going over some work flow things or just stuff you use on your stage 3 like the video you did when you looked at your James Arthur keys rig with the NS3 and NE6 (great video by the way). Thanks again for all the vids you do they're always great to watch :D)
Ben Maxwell no. They do too much Nord stuff!
So the squib is basically an appoggiatura on an add 9?
I see it as playing notes from the pentatonic scale. Always sounds good.
Cracking stuff, do I have enough life left to put sufficient hours of practice in to be even 1/10th as proficient as Jack! It’s doubtful...
"Dodgy Netflix Series"...LOL...so true.
Technically, Norah Jones is the Queen of the squib squib :)
Cant wait for kids to goto bed put headphones on and do some squibbing!!!
Squibby squib squib squibbly
I think you guys meant Patterns* not Pattens! Great vid as always though! Sending regards from the states.
Dangit, now i want to buy a keyboard and learn to play the Piano. I only came because i thought this was another guitar video lol
squib squib is diddily doos on guitar!
Just ignore these fingers over here and use the strong ones for speed. I’m 45 and never accepted that until now.
This pisses all over the Alfreds Teach Yourself Piano Book
Piano would be so much easier if every song was in C 🤔
squib squib
Third ever sighting of a giant squib on camera
