I have been following Kent's video tutorials for some years and have found them super inspiring. I learnt to play his versions of Summer Time and The Way You Look Tonight. Kent is a guy that a lot of pianists, young and old, hobby or pro, will profit from. Greetings from Vienna, Austria
Great video Kent. Lots of detail and content that is really useful. Great job on the camera work as well, makes it easy to follow-along with the content.
Hi Kent, thank you for these good ideas and your playing! I often wanted to know, what be-bop exactly is. But everyone explains it a little bit differently. The only thing that everyone agrees is, use 8ths. And that coloured people wanted to have their own style.
Wow you really stepped up your game with the technology have you ever thought about using OBS and doing alive performance with multi cameras and chat room experience
Kent I am trying to learn Trinkle Tinkle by Thelonious Monk, but I can not find any piano lessons for the song. Can you make a lesson on Trinkle Tinkle?
Smokin' (Looks like a nice Steinway grand in the background looking at the double wooden pedal lyre back stays) 2 tunes I learned years ago with not very good chords. Geeze, I've got so much homework to do with all your great videos. I'm getting very good at the stack chords spread voicing type stuff but I really struggle with any improv. Anyway, I'm learning loads from your videos right now so that's all good. (That little French grand piano I bought really sounds amazing - It has the tri-chord wound strings on the upper 6 bass notes and individual stringing too - both of which most pianos don't have). PS: the fingering of this stuff. My classical lessons from 35 years ago are good for this. Jumping a finger or 2 after playing 3 - 4 notes is really not so difficult. Better than running out of fingers! hehe. But seriously.... the basic classical fingering tips - thumb under going up, 3rd or 4th finger over going down and jumping a finger or two where needed really help.
I have a video on playing the major scales which is a trick I learned later on...ie: finding the patterns of 3 and 4 fingers. I also like to practice my scales in 3 and 4 octaves in triplets and patterns of 4. I'm glad you're learning from my videos and telling me...keep it up, Robin!
@@KentHewittpiano88 I meant the other way around. The fingering is something I'm really good at. It's the free style improv I struggle with but hey! All good. I'm learning more piano now than i ever did in my teens. We just didn't have the books or knowledge or the teachers here in the UK at that time. I did try to learn this stuff 40 years ago but there was no source of knowledge available then.
@@KentHewittpiano88 Hi Kent Do you know the dates when you will be in the UK…..Do I need to book a seat now? Looking forward to meeting you. Regards David
A powerful video with easy to follow teachings..I love Mr Ego Man's humorous stories..he is pure fun!! Saw a comment regarding your health..are you feeling okay Kent?🥰🥰🥰😋
Can you show us how you setup your onscreen music staff and the blue notes? It really helps as a teaching tool to see it on the staff, what software is this? 🙏
Chordie software is for the shadow piano and manuscript. Band in a Box is for the backing track. OBS studio is for the multi-screen aspect. Then you need a newer digital keyboard with USB connection to laptop. I have to use 2 cameras and a laptop computer and sync everything up. I don't know how those geniuses do it. You will have to watch a lot of tutorials to learn how to do this. There's a lot of frustration even after learning it, so it's not for the light- hearted.
I recently bought Kent's book. Highly recommended if you want to improve your jazz piano chops and knowledge. A great complement to his videos.
Thanks so much, Tom....I apprecaite the endorsement!!
That’s it I’m asking 🧑🎄 this year
Kent you are a treasure. great lessons, great personality, great talent!

Maestro! I really admire you and your lessons are a treasure indeed
My brutha!! This is truly world class instruction. Very generous of you to share.
Much love and SWINGING LOOSE!!! 🇨🇦🎼

Hi from Michigan: ♬ Cool tunes and demos ♫
Great to hear from you always! If I had a cellar, I'd have a train!

Brilliant Kent, marvellous breakdown. David , England
Thanks, David! We'll be in London next year....meet up?
@@KentHewittpiano88 Hi Kent
Do you know the dates when you will be in the UK…..Do I need to book a seat now?
Looking forward to meeting you.
Regards
David
it's a long time when the last bebop tutorial and the AEgo man shows up again LOL!
It's about time...I say!
A powerful video with easy to follow teachings..I love Mr
Ego Man's humorous stories..he is pure fun!! Saw a comment regarding your health..are you feeling okay Kent?🥰🥰🥰😋
Everything's fine, thanks for asking, and ADEM thanks you, Phyllis!
Great..glad you are ok!!!
Great job as usual, Kent! Thank you for sharing your charts too.
Very welcome!
great content. thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Where is the piano sound coming from? What piano are you using...it sounds great! Are these the onboard sound or a vst?
kent has a real piano last I checked!
In this video it's a Roland RD300. I'm glad it sounds good to you for a non acoustic piano. That' has part to do with the recording technique.
@@KentHewittpiano88 wonderful, thank you for prompt reply!
@@KentHewittpiano88 how do you like how the roland rd key action compared to your acoustic and what would you recommend? Thank you.
BRAVO, KH! Great lesson!! 🎶❤️
Hi Marilyn....hope you know I gave you credit for the Bernie's Tune bit. Loved it!! However the story was my true experience.
@@KentHewittpiano88 I heard that! And I wondered just how many Marilyns are IN your life!? 😁 XOXO - M
Thankyou for another great video!
I would appreciate it if you could make video on "Loverman" someday
Great suggestion!
OMG yes! thanks so much!
My Pleasure1
