    I’ve just bought a keyboard. This has been my dream since I was a child but the times and finances could barely afford living. I’ve finally purchased my first keyboard 2 days ago, 26 years of wait. I just couldn’t help myself but to go crazy sounding awful lol. This is my first time having an instrument and very first time playing it. I was searching where to begin with. I cant even follow a single pattern going up and down. This made me thought i’m passed my time to learn piano as it takes years to move both hands in different directions but i don’t want to give up. My brother, this video has given me hope. I’ve heard this at least 10 times now, i still can’t play anything but now, i believe if i stay consistent, i can do it. I can’t afford any piano tutors. Sometimes, we might not realize how we are adding values into people life, and your video is one example of it. Looking forward to learn more from you. God bless you, keep doing the good work that you’re doing!! Much respect.

      Thanks for the feedback that’s nice to hear. Just remember you’re asking your hands and fingers to move and be controlled in ways they’re not used to yet,it’s like learning to walk again. It’ll be wobbly for a while and you’ll fall over but eventually you can run.

      Yea Brother, btw it takes longer to get your fingers moving independently than anybody ever says! In the very beginning, I literally had to use one hand to guide my fingers on the other hand! But within a couple months, no problems - now it's a whole other story. Daily practice works wonders.

    Started playing (professional taught) at 8 yrs. Over 40 years now. Believe me, start with counting the music score and properly. Then reading the music score. Practice right hand, then left. Bring them together. Practice daily! Doing scales, triads, is very important too! All the best!

      @@30k_Challenge_with_0video Do you have the feeling or seeing type of synesthesia? I have the seeing type, for example there is one song that I never found the name of that is forever called "Orange Rectangles" because thats what I saw when I heard the song. With the seeing type, you can try using the colors as a guide. I don't know a lot about the subject, I have produced for several years, but I am also still new at piano and learning myself so I don't know if I have any good advice for you other than we are in the same boat.

    You are young and by heck you know how to teach.
    Those chord progressions were good.
    Practice all four with both hands?
    I did not know all the black notes formed the minor pentatonic. That was great to learn and there is some good improvising to be done with the black notes.
    You are a breath of fresh air.
    Its all very well people saying " get a teacher".
    Some of us cannot afford that...pensioners like me!

      I'll put it to you like this, I'm definitely not an expert piano player. I've just messed around most of my life, learned how to play the first part of yankee doodle as a kid, just the one hand. I've never ever played using two hands. It was extremely easy for me when watching the tutorial. I never knew those chords existed like that. Now, I feel like a whole thing for me has been opened up to playing piano, because the black notes, I've never understood.
      I have no clue how to read sheet music, other than we learned FACE is on the spaces and EGBDF (Every Good Boy Does Fine) is on the lines from bottom to top. No idea what a quarter note is, what an eighth note is or how to apply those to playing. But this tutorial really opened things up for me.

    My grandad died around 10yr ago and he had a keyboard, its been at my mums ever since his death..never been used by anyone since his death..until yesterday by me. Now I have no idea how to play keyboard really, but I was messing around with the keys/tones ect and managed to teach myself bits of "The final countdown, wonderwall, beat it" granted these will be the absolute basic version of the songs..but it's a start...and had no help ,tutorials or anything whatsoever, So I'm now I'm actually thinking of learning everything from scratch. I will add that I used to be a drummer in many bands for 15years, and can play bits on guitar and bass too..and I get people say if you can play guitar you can play piano /keyboard..let me tell you that's not the case with me,looking at a keyboard and trying to play it is complete alien to me.

      I’m sure experience in music in general will help you out as you progress, with your sense of rhythm and your ears and musicality. But yes getting familiar with the actual keyboard layout and technique etc will take some getting used to. Practice often and things start to feel a bit more natural after a while! Good luck!

    This is outstanding. I've been to a number of sites which cover learning piano, but this one actually includes some key foundational and technique principles, which you would normally get from a teacher. It's really important to learn proper technique from the start if you plan do get serious. I made that mistake self-learning guitar and had to "unlearn" a bunch of bad habits.

    This works like therapy for my old tired brain, I can follow this. My memory is so poor that when I restart this video I get excited because it seems easier every session. I don’t think I’ll play as well as Billy Preston but that’s the way God planned it.

    I’ve been playing piano for a long time (self taught) and I can’t thank you enough for this amazing way of learning piano. NOTHING boring here!! I’ve already shared it with friends. I’m going to do the progression that you suggested of C F Am and G.
    I really appreciated how low key and calm your manner is, stellar work.

      @spinnettdesigns 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@moiethereal9634 yes, but in a funny way. I had a fake book years ago so I memorized about 12 cords. So I don’t read the base clef, I just read the signature the top. I know where the notes are on the page but only have a vague memory of what each one is called.
      So I need the music to play, but I can’t really read it the way most others do, and I can’t play by ear. Pretty mixed up but I get by 😬

      @@PianoFromScratch Some people wont understand that time changes, and with it come technology and new ways to learn. I would love to have money to pay someone to sit with me 2 or 3 ours a week to teach me, but I'm a little short in this department. Thank that nowadays , albeit is not ideal, everyone could learn things like music and piano that in other times, would be restrict to someone who have the means to pay a teacher.

I also think that sticking to one source of information doesnt really suit me. I was beginning to lose interest and needed something to get me away from just learning cheesy tunes. This seems much better. I'm now planning on following your videos. Is there a particular order you'd recommend?
