Corey, you're such an amazing teacher and I'm sure generations will watch this videos and enjoy them to they fullness as though they were released for them! Thank you Skilled Musician for reaching your goal which is to help us improve 🙏🏽
I end every single one of your videos with the biggest smile and so much new knowledge.! You explain everything in the most amazing way. I can apply everything to my playing little by little and without any hiccups. I can't thank you enough. Top notch playing, phenomenal teaching.
Just love that turnaround from 19:51 to 19:57. Wow... that's magical. Well, truly it all is amazing but certain sections just bend my ear in the best way. So much useful and inspiring information that once again, I felt compelled to comment. Ok, back to work... :)
Thanks for the hack tutorial Cory, starting to like this channel a lot. It's cool to see how you use theory in your playing to create certain movements. Great video and incredible channel.
Yes sir! We started making it but soon realized it was going to be much bigger than anticipated, and had to rethink our plan. Stay tuned! We will try to get that I've out as soon as possible.
Thanks. We actually have a video where we talk about the 3 scales every musician should know, and how to apply them. Here it is: th-cam.com/video/NPyfnpj9q0U/w-d-xo.html
Hey Corey, your videos are amazing, I'm a guitar player currently learning piano and I'm using this stuff every day. Thanks ! Also, a little tip: check the intro/outro music volume to match the middle part so your voice and piano get to the same level and it doesn't suddenly pop up. Cheers !
Would you advise to always play the melody note as the top note when playing? Both when playing instrumentals and playing with a singer/choir? Thank you for taking the time to share your gift with us!
If I'm playing with singers then I try to find a counter melody to play, as not to clash with the singer. If I'm playing without singers, then I try to play the melody. Hope this helps!
Yeah I think I catch your drift! That would be pretty cool to see a video with your take on how to play with singers/choirs. I don't think I've ever seen a channel go over that before. Thanks for answering my question! You da best!
Well as a musician who also sings I do melody because I am trying to learn how to sing it too. When going over a new song (on video) I will play what I hear on the next go round and drop to a lower key if needed. I'm pretty much playing chords and can't rely on base because I hear melodies. I don't always hear base except on certain songs. When it comes to accompanying someone on the spot, I rather not do that unless I've clearly heard their key they're singing in.
These tutorials are so dope!! Thank you for your ministry! I saw a video of you playing I Surrender All on TH-cam! Is there anyway you can make a tutorial video of your rendition of it? God Bless!
Skilled Musician The contemporary one! I really enjoyed it! I already play it the traditional way..... just looking for some new ideas and you’re rendition of it was amazing!
Thank you! 1. But I mean all those Dorian, phryigian,. 2. Is there a way to identify each triads or build a chord on each degree of a scale? For all i know is to identify A, B, Eb, D scales etc..........
Hey Ooh Really! I actually created a course showing my entire setup and I walk you through step-by-step how to put it together. It’s on my website skilledmusician.com in the store under Premium Courses...
Hey Josh! Good to hear from you! It's been a little while. You can definitely move inner voices on Minor chords. Let's say you have a C-minor chord. C-G in the left-hand and C-Eb-G in the right hand. You could play F-Ab then G with your left-hand while keeping C on the bottom. And in your right hand B-D then C, while you keep the other notes. Truthfully, any move you can do over major chords, is for the most part, applicable to minor chords. Hope this helps and good to hear from you!
Skilled Musician ok, just wanted your take on the concept with minor chords. I’ve been using the move from a major chord a major 3rd up, or a minor 3rd down. Thanks a lot man!!!
Primero que nada gracias por brindar esos recursos tan buenos y tan extraordinarios, segundo soy latino te sigo desde hace tiempo si pusieras subtítulos en español tu canal se iría hacia arriba enormemente !!! Sólo como consejo y con mucho respeto saludó Dios te bendiga extraordinario Como siempre sigue así
Muchas gracias por la sugerencia. Definitivamente voy a empezar a hacer eso! Estoy enamorado de la lengua española y he estado estudiando español sin parar. Tengo la esperanza de comenzar a hacer videos completamente en español muy pronto.
Hey Corey, what was that little flourish you did at 7:15? Is that something that will come up in a future video? As well at 8:34; they're killing me as they sound amazing.
Hi Robert! I was harmonizing this melodic line A-C-Bb-A-G in drop 2 using Fmaj for the first two notes, then Ebmaj, then Fmaj, and lastly CMaj. I hope that helps! We will definitely have some more videos about this idea coming. Thanks for commenting!
At 8:34 that was the D Melodic Minor scale going up (starting on C#), then chromatic down to C#, followed by Bb chromatic down to F, then E and D. Hope that helps.
Thanks again, Corey. I'm very impressed with your prompt responses. I will be purchasing the tracks shortly. As I'm not much better than a grade one music reader, the visual keyboard feature in your videos and on the tracks will be greatly beneficial. Blessings and thanks very much for sharing your wealth of knowledge and those chops that are out of this world.
Great lesson Corey. I have been trying to download the lead sheet, but page does not load. Keep asking me to login, even though I'm already logged in. Many Blessings
"Any particular notes I avoid" - 10:25 "Maaaaybe the major 7th I wouldn't play" (goes on to construct an exception, but already played a much more funky one at 8:29)
I want to learn the concepts in theory without going to college, so what books or people do you recommend I study. I don't want to play secular songs but I want the musical concepts. Any suggestions?
Hi Rachel! The Jazz Theory Book by Mark Levine was a game-changer for me! On TH-cam, there are several theory guys including Rick Beato and Michael New. In January we will be launching our second semester of our school where we will cover these topics. Please stay tuned to the channel and sign up!
Great stuff! My only complaint is... Your digital keyboard display is not accurately following what your hands are playing. In fact, it's easier to just watch your hands.
@@SkilledMusician I play the drums, piano and sing so it will be very hard to practice 4 hours on each instrument. Would it be fine to practice each for 2 hours.
@@SkilledMusician thanks!! If I was to practice for four hours what would I be practicing on. Can you tell like what you practice during your practice time
Well it all depends on what you are trying to accomplish. I would love the opportunity to craft a practice plan specifically for you. If you schedule a lesson with me we can definitely create a custom practice plan here - bit.ly/private-lessons-SM
Have you ever wondered what the pros do to sound amazing? Have you played the exact same thing as an expert, yet they still sound better than you? Are there secret notes they are playing? Well in today's video, which is part 2 of our Piano Hacks Series, we cover the small, often overlooked techniques that the pros use to sound amazing. These techniques will be a little more advanced than part one, but you can definitely do them!
Hey Josh! So sorry about that. The next one will be released in the next 24 hours, and it's almost an hour long, so hopefully, it will make up a little for lost time...lol. Thanks for reaching out!
No one like you sir!
You spend time breaking down moves,
U are exceptional
🙏🙏🙏

Let me see what we can do for you!
These tutorials are so dope!! Thank you for your ministry! I saw a video of you playing I Surrender All on TH-cam! Is there anyway you can make a tutorial video of your rendition of it? God Bless!
Oh wow, I remember that! I think I did two versions, a contemporary and traditional one. Which one were you referring to?
Skilled Musician The contemporary one! I really enjoyed it! I already play it the traditional way..... just looking for some new ideas and you’re rendition of it was amazing!
Amazing content! Just wonderful

1. But I mean all those Dorian, phryigian,.
2. Is there a way to identify each triads or build a chord on each degree of a scale? For all i know is to identify A, B, Eb, D scales etc..........
Let me put something together to help you!
Please I want to ask you....
How do you display your piano with the app together lyk dat in sync....
Hey Ooh Really! I actually created a course showing my entire setup and I walk you through step-by-step how to put it together. It’s on my website skilledmusician.com in the store under Premium Courses...
Skilled Musician thanks
Maannnnn. you were about to send me into worship toward the end. lbs
LOL. Praise the Lord!
I’ve been revisiting your older videos. I have question.....is there a way to move inner voices on minor chords?
Hey Josh! Good to hear from you! It's been a little while. You can definitely move inner voices on Minor chords. Let's say you have a C-minor chord. C-G in the left-hand and C-Eb-G in the right hand.

Is this a video series I can purchase?
Hi Victor! It is not a video series, but that is a GREAT IDEA! Let me get to work on that!
Please I always give up...
I will be happy if you have lessons from beginners to advanced
Yes we definitely do!

Thank your sir!
Are these hacks for gospel piano only? Thanks by the way, Sir Corey.
Not at all! You can use these for any style of music!
@@SkilledMusician Thank you so much.
Make a video on diminished movements!
Very soon. Stay tuned!
Great lesson Corey. I have been trying to download the lead sheet, but page does not load. Keep asking me to login, even though I'm already logged in. Many Blessings
Please send me a contact form at Skilledmusician.com/contact and we will email you the lead sheet.

I would like to take a class from you
Go I would love to work with you. Let’s meet! Go to our website and schedule a free video call with me here: skilledmusician.com
Amazing
Thank your sir!
What key would you say this song is in? F?
Exactly!
Great
Thank you!
@20:40 do any of your videos cover those type of drop 2 movements?
Yes in my 12 Left-Hand Voicings part 2, at the 29:10 Mark y, we cover it. Here is the link: th-cam.com/video/yvE22ZCNUIQ/w-d-xo.html
Skilled Musician -thanks man! Great channel
Great stuff! My only complaint is... Your digital keyboard display is not accurately following what your hands are playing. In fact, it's easier to just watch your hands.
Thank you so much! So sorry about that. Occasionally the midi keyboard will not display properly. Working to fix it!
You're welcome. Are you using a sustain pedal? I wonder if that's what's causing the issue.
Woah!!!
LOL
What is the escale please 8:34
A play between the Melodic Minor and the Harmonic Minor Scale with a couple of passing tones.
Do you do private piano lessons online?
We will start our online lessons very soon. We will make an announcement online in a few weeks.
How many hours do you practice a day
Currently my goal is 2 hours a day. When I was younger it was 4 hours a day.
@@SkilledMusician I play the drums, piano and sing so it will be very hard to practice 4 hours on each instrument. Would it be fine to practice each for 2 hours.
Sure! It is your own musical journey. It all depends on what your musical goals are. How much do you need to practice to accomplish your goals?
@@SkilledMusician thanks!! If I was to practice for four hours what would I be practicing on. Can you tell like what you practice during your practice time

Thank you so much Jason!
Let me see what I can do!
Wow, it's 2 months since your last "educational" video. I feel like I'm being punished and I don't know why. lol
Hey Josh! So sorry about that. The next one will be released in the next 24 hours, and it's almost an hour long, so hopefully, it will make up a little for lost time...lol. Thanks for reaching out!
