I'm a 68yr old keyboard player, and I love the way you teach funky syncopated rhythms & progressions. It simplifies a technique that sounds difficult and complex. I really enjoyed it. Many thanks from North Carolina USA!🎹🎹🎹
Brother, you are welcome in my home anytime! 🤗 This video is such a gift. Thank you!! I just had a blast on my keyboard and I'm only 6 minutes into the video. This is exactly what I've been looking for. ⭐❤xoxo
Cheers for the comments - planning to get back into the channel later in the year - have some big work projects I'm in the middle of at the moment - thanks for watching :)
It’s my 50th anniversary as a synth player…nobody plays like me, but you still taught me something! (I never learned piano, so my left hand has been chords and pitch-bend only). You’re a champion mate. So cool & casual, making the complex accessible and actually easy. I think everyone noticed your discipline in holding back the urge to let fly. But you did it, in the way only Australians can. Thanks for actually thinking about your audience as people, it shows, and is a rarity in this world. 👍🌟🔥
I'm a new subscriber. I don't understand how you don't have 100k followers 🤪. This is soooo useful. I play in a band and can't wait to try and apply some of these ideas. Cheers 👍
th-cam.com/play/PLhSdOEQxegGUiz4I1OpwbeG0FeSTtifHR.html&si=XBiHzjv9ijQ7Lgqj There you go, most lessons in there are step by step in the groove - cheers for the comment :)
I've just played this video completely through and as an advanced keyboard player, I've got to admit, this is an Impressive tuturial and a lot can be learned in basic and advanced keyboard techniques. ...... I'm now going to find that funky Clav sound, rewind the video, play along and be inspired. Thank you.
Really helpful video. The way you layer on the additions really demystifies some of the process. Can't wait to try and make a groove. Thank you for this.
This is exactly what i've been looking for all these years, my friend you're not just a very talented musician but also a great teacher, very fluid and easy to understand. Also i like how everything is explained from the basics to the most complex parts of the groove in a very simple laid out manner, amazing with such clarity and ease! I can now play funk piano because of you! Thanks a lot!
The best on this Tutorial is the Voice of the Speaker. 👍🏻 He has all of the Groove in this explanation. 👌🏻 And the only Thing to play like this is Soul. When you feel it, then ITS all you need.
th-cam.com/video/8ur01acMy58/w-d-xo.htmlsi=tOnkUrRIG17yyFGw Cheers! This video here was intended as the groove play along track that goes with this tutorial - it's not exactly the same groove but same tempo and key Hope this is what you were after! Cheers :)
Dude! Been playing guitar for my entire life. I learned more about chord structure from this clip than i learned in 20 years! Good show! Liked and subscribed.
@@pianoproductivitypeace in the process of learning music theory as I try and play a few notes on my laptop over stuff I’ve made. I’ll be coming back many many times to this.
A very useful tutorial, thank you I'm on the look out for different ways to play... I Love it. To maybe help out other viewers, for the ghost notes I found I had to adjust the velocity curve to get the ghost notes sounding the part.
Cheers! Yes this is the format I am now committed to, but I work on this channel seasonally - (probably start up again in September). For now you can check out blues, funks, plus a few song tutorials which all have the 'Learn in the groove' label Thanks again!
Been looking for a good funk tutorial for a while... But this is even better than i was expecting , thanks man. So underated channel btw... Just subscribed
Hey cheers for the comment, appreciate it - transferring to different keys is where it is at! I have a blues shuffle tutorial on the channel too if that helps - cheers :) th-cam.com/video/YAJ0VM94v2Q/w-d-xo.htmlsi=eJQ1mDvt9S6hEHiC
Yeah! I played like this in the seventies, funk all around. Pieces lasted 15 to 30 minutes in this vein, long long solo's. It was absolutely crazy but great fun. And people danced and danced on these grooves for hours. Can you believe it? (Disco had not been invented yet. That came with Saturday Night Fever, 1978, movie. House, garage, techno, all that stuff started around 1990.
Love it! Must of been a great era! Some of my best musical memories are playing funk for hours on end at bush parties - 10min solos, building up the dance floor - great times :) I also have massive appreciation for the genres that came later, I am a 90s child! Thanks for sharing :)
Cheers for this! Will get back into the tutorials in a few months, but have done a few other funk tutorials like this one - hope you enjoy exploring the channel :)
Thanks for the comment! The backing track for this one is in the pipeline and will make it after my next tutorial video so might be up to 2 weeks away - in the meantime this one is pretty groovy! th-cam.com/video/jf9OwaLkzp8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=QCSM_zNolWfYLcY6
I learned 2 things. 1 The building blocks of E minor funk. 2. If I want to make my voice and narration sound cooler, just have a funk vamp in the background 👌
Really incredible video! Thank you so much. Tonnes to learn, think over, and practice. (And I love how applicable it was to non-piano instruments too. Some chords a bit harder on Marimba, but dang fun still!)
Thank you for this. I'm a bassist and I play a bit of keyboard just for fun and this made a lot of sense. The m7 chord voicing you use is funkier cuz it clashes with the root note more I think
Great suggestion and already have it on the list - I have a bit of a priority order going so will get to it eventually. Filming a jazz swing groove lessons this weekend - thanks :)

Outstanding lesson. Neatly organized, while never stepping out of the groove. Hats off mate.
Much appreciated - I'm pretty keen to do more where the beat keeps going in background, was fun to make - thanks for your comments!
This is amazing!!! But let’s not forget the who the real hero is. That deep simple bass. (I’m a piano player)
Nothing like a good bassline - Cheers for comment :)
It it variation of Good Times bassline?
Yes probably draws some inspiration from that - that is one of my favourites!
why can’t people teach this this anymore! this is elite brother, thanks a bunch
Thank you! Hope you enjoy jamming along :)
they don't teach at the beginning because before you can run, you have to how to walk...this is one icing on the cake...my opinion...
Brother, you are welcome in my home anytime! 🤗 This video is such a gift. Thank you!! I just had a blast on my keyboard and I'm only 6 minutes into the video. This is exactly what I've been looking for. ⭐❤xoxo

No one plays like me?
Seriously? 🤪
@@davewold88😂😂😂😂even m trying to understand what he means by that
Of course! Nobody plays like me either. Every person is one original. Musical fingerprint. Everyone else is a mere copy. Regardless of level. Right!?
Loved this! Easy to follow idea rich
Astonishingly useful
Thanks for the comment, glad it was helpful :)
Just a few bass notes, no solfege or score, no need to count.......just feeling.......top class 👍
Cheers! Appreciate your words :)

Totally worth it. I hope you are getting more. I've always wanted to learn a little simple funk piano and you brought me there. So fun!
Awesome stuff thank you!
My pleasure! Thanks for the comment :)
Thank you for this. I'm a bassist and I play a bit of keyboard just for fun and this made a lot of sense. The m7 chord voicing you use is funkier cuz it clashes with the root note more I think
Yes I love having that clashing sound in the voicing - cheers for the comment :)
Awesome! Thank you so much!
Thank you!
Sir please...lesson for piano ghost note percussive rhythm technique...❤❤
Great suggestion and already have it on the list - I have a bit of a priority order going so will get to it eventually. Filming a jazz swing groove lessons this weekend - thanks :)
