You deserve a way bigger audience.. Your energy, enthusiasm and ability to translate the language of music as you teach has you in rarified atmosphere. ....In my humble opinion.
This video is phenomenal. If people only knew how hard it is to actually teach this effectively. In a style like this where the chords are more for structure, those rhythmic elements are so essential to setting the groove or pocket. I’m amazed. What a great teacher!
Still working on this. I will get there. I will. I will!!! Thanks Aimee. You have got me interested in playing the piano again. If you were my teacher 40 years ago, life could have been so different!
I agree with Virgult. I just started playing this great song on my guitar and came across this on TH-cam when searching for guitar tutorial. I like her relaxed teaching style and liked the way she demonstrated the funky rhythm using the beatbox mouth sounds. Love her funky piano playing
It’s so nice that you accentuate the importance of the beat. All good musicians pay attention to that in body and mind. And you surely are a groovy lady.
I follow several great music teachers with huge channels, and went to music school decades ago. This is one of the best lessons on TH-cam. You’re also such a natural, authoritative yet inviting teacher. Appreciating all your stuff.
thank you. this is The Key to everything! It's Exactly what I was trying to understand about groove, that it has opened up a whole new world in my listening and playing capabilities. Thank you for breaking it down, it is so helpful. I even share this video with my bandmates who also feel the same way.
Aimee there's something about you - you are more than a teacher. You exude care and belief. I am no piano player but you have me believing I can really do this.
I like your teaching style Aimee! As a drummer that always wanted to play piano, I never really understood how to play funk on piano but the way you just explained it in this video resonated with the drummer in me and made sense to me maybe for the first time. I never thought about it this way. Thanks for giving me a place to start. I enjoy your videos.
Well done! I like your videos because when you cover a concept you're articulate and precise without being dull and pedantic. There's freedom and spontaneity in your presentation. Keep making the great videos!
I just wanted to say I appreciate you breaking these delicious chords and rhythms down for us, Aimee! It keeps me excited to keep learning more piano (and music theory) :D. Keep up the great work!
Just came across this gem of a video! Subdivisions, ghost notes, accents! Things that I need to focus on. I appreciate the repetition of everything you do!
I adore you so much!!! As a classically trained player, I never really learned about other styles and how to express them! Thank you for all of the content you're making!!! =)
This is great Aimee. You break down the essential elements very lucidly, and then the close up of the hand and finger movements is super helpful. It's also a great sounding accessible musical choice for less experienced players.
Miss Aimee, You've really got a: Fantastic personality; keeping it real; easy to understand; are also Comical at times. You make perfect sense. I am learning a lot from you, but have to hit the slow motion button quite often, due to it appears to me, You Teach Important or Necessary Stuff. Thanks so much for doing this. !
Finally the video I've been looking for!This step by step breaking down and building up is really useful for a keys beginner like me!Thanks Amy for your great content!
Omg this is sounds so so good I have to practice this especially the crazy part at the end. Thank you very much for all of the content that you bring it's very helpful
I'm just seriously starting on piano I play a whole bunch of other instruments relatively well.. guitar bass kalimba sitar drums and synths but you are a bloody good teacher you rip it apart into fragments and explain stuff that we all internalise but pass off and forget about. You, make a point of the small stuff and make it big. Look after the small stuff and the big stuff will look after itself Brilliant teacher
This is pure gold, Aimee, thanks!! It is actually really hard to find lessons on comping and rhythm techniques. I think I need to dig a little deeper into your channel. Keep up the good work! 😊 Giselle
I’ve watched this video lots and I can finally play it pretty good, however this comment is about you saying “hip to this chord”. It has subconsciously entered my vocabulary 😅 thanks for lessons and for yourself in general Aimee! You’ve help me lots
Excellent video Aimee. One of the best teaching breakdowns of a sophisticated rhythm (with some nice chord voicings thrown in) I've seen online. you're an excellent teacher.
I was just learning some funk chords from a different teacher, and the first I started doing when the rhythm got sticky was go back to tone 16th notes! Thanks Aimee!
After viewing a few videos, I recommended your channel to my daughter (budding keyboardist/pianist). Amazing skills, great breakdown and teaching. Thanks for your videos and efforts.
I’m a first timer on you channel . And yes .... you are fantastic! Thank you very much . Amazing teacher . Beautiful and clever . What a combination. Bravo 👏🏻😎👍🏻
When you are just a beginner and you found yourself seeing this...two things...1. you want to give up and 2. challenge yourself to keep learning to get this stage. lol myself no.2....Great Material...Love your explanations. Would love to learn the basics of Keyboard from you. You are a great teacher. For now, I can only play on Key C
Un millón de gracias por compartir lo que sabe de una forma tan clara. Ojalá que siga transmitiendo de esa forma tan clara el lenguaje musical. Dios la bendiga¡¡¡¡
Hey, I am working at learning different things about music. The piano, I really do love it. I am just learning chords, patterns, phrasing and etc. But, I stumbled on your piano instructions and I am absolutely in love with your teaching technique. I really appreciate how you speak and do the explanations. Thank you so very much !
This video is so great. Also, you can't go wrong with Bill Withers! Can't believe it's taken me this long to realize that the voicing of these chords is everything. In fact, on the piano, I now don't think of, say, a D flat major7 as a D flat major7: to me that is now a D flat in the left hand, and F minor triad (and throw in the e flat up top for kicks)...much simpler (for me that way). How I think of these chords makes me play differently / better. It started with me finally realizing, for the right hand it never sounds cool to play the root note with your thumb (at the bottom) - gotta invert to sound good! Well, love this video. Not fair that some people have a naturally beautiful voice to begin with!
This lesson is very clear and inspiring. I'm working on my piano skills, and this has been most helpful. Your presentation about breaking down the sixteenth notes gets to the heart of it. A teacher suggested that we are all playing a "foot drum", and accompanying ourselves on piano, bass, sax, etc. This concept has helped my commitment to playing time. Your emphasis on feeling the time, and putting the time first is spot on. Thank you!
Corby Simpson thank you, my friend! Very cool about the kick drum but dangerous if you take it literally. It can be a real hang out to have a foot tapping habit!
Excellent approach to teaching the feel of funk. I’d love to see a tutorial on Michael McDonald’s piano style, especially his funky/jazz/shuffle on Minute By Minute. I saw him up close at NAMM a few years ago, and his hands are so relaxed. It looks like he is drumming on the piano. Talk about feel!
Aimee Nolte Music...okay, do it the way you feel makes it easier for you to explain it to the masses. It's your lesson, and you are the teacher. But as a student and player of the funk for my entire 53yrs of living, I can't hear it any other way....Sorry Aimee, I guess I'm hopelessly a 100% Afro American man that grew up listening to the Funk (hahaha!!) and I guess for me it's something that you feel and hard to teach to people that don't have it in their soul. But I'll step aside now because I don't you to misinterpret my intentions here because I love what you do and believe that you have it fully under control. Love your ear and your playing. Keep up the great work that you're putting in Sista...
Well I can’t argue with that, nor would I want to. This video was just for fun. I had the idea and went for it. Of course you are right. :) Thanks for your nice thoughts and I like your user name!
This video was exciting to watch. I just started playing the piano, I literally had a dream I was playing. I woke up and went to work and started fiddling with the piano. Now I'm hooked, I spend countless hours watching TH-cam piano lessons.
I am _just_ starting on piano but have a (genuinely small) bit of background on chords via guitar. So, I'm a ways off from being able to directly related to this tutorial. However, even before becoming a direct disciple (haha) of yours, I wanted to say: this tutorial is awesome! The way you articulate what interests you about the chords and voicings is so wonderful and encouraging! Thank you!
Thank you again Aimee, You reinforce what I have hunches about. You explain clearly what I lack the theory knowledge to articulate. When I watch your videos I feel like I am moving forward. I hope you really realize how good you are. I'm learning percussion and hand drum these days. It was what you said at the end there "You really have to feel it, you really have to get it inside you " or words to that effect, and this is the phenomenon that I witness when I manage to synch in with the musicians playing around me. It feels like the beats are the pistons pushing the music forward or something like that, as opposed to falling randomly amidst the musical space somewhere...I've had some pretty bad moments. But anyway thank you. You're doing a great job.
Every time I watch this women (of which I'm in love with), makes me feel so incompetent when I play piano - oh well, back to the trying to emulate what I've watched - just love your videos, have learnt so much.
Yes! I've been loving this one on guitar and vocal for years, but it sounds a little more proper done your way on the piano (and beatbox). SOUL. Thank you so much.

The one piano teacher who makes me get better on guitar.
I play the keys but I am moving to drums. Aimee makes this transition was so easy. Kudos!
I also watch piano tutorials for guitar. Or guitar for bass, or bass for banjo. Etc doesn't matter that much, theory is theory
@Phoenix Torin i dont give a damn :)
Brill
Me too. I find it easier to understand theory on piano than guitar.
You deserve a way bigger audience..
Your energy, enthusiasm and ability to translate the language of music as you teach has you in rarified atmosphere.
....In my humble opinion.
I definitely agree with you.
Robert yeah what he said
Robert + Actually she has decent numbers considering there are hundreds of piano tutorials on TH-cam.
Robert thanks guys. ;)
+Aimee Nolte I think you are an Awesome piano teacher ! I just started watching today. Any teacher that can play anything and by ear I'm listening .
I absolutely love the way she breaks it all down ! This girl is a maestro plain and simple ! Her musical tastes mirror mine !
This video is phenomenal. If people only knew how hard it is to actually teach this effectively. In a style like this where the chords are more for structure, those rhythmic elements are so essential to setting the groove or pocket. I’m amazed. What a great teacher!
I just love these rich chords and funky rhythms.
And you, Aimee... are THE. BEST. TH-cam. piano teacher.
Bar none.
esotericist soooooo nice. Thanks.
Aimee Nolte Music et la plus belle !😉
aimee beatboxing and hipping us to the hendrix chord is a magnificent vibe
That's one CATCHY song the way you play it. Well done.
You are, without doubt one of the best music teachers on TH-cam.
You are a true gem for all the piano students who want to learn how to groove! Very well presented all the way!
Mika Jaatinen thank you so much. I appreciate that. 👊🏼
I really like the level of patience you have as a foundational starting point! It really shows the true power of focus!! You're a great teacher!!
I come back again and again to your videos. Great instructor and fabulous musician.
Still working on this. I will get there. I will. I will!!!
Thanks Aimee. You have got me interested in playing the piano again. If you were my teacher 40 years ago, life could have been so different!

Thank you for breaking it down, it is so helpful. I even share this video with my bandmates who also feel the same way.
You taught this so good without even breaking down the fingering for each note. That was excellent!
Aimee there's something about you - you are more than a teacher. You exude care and belief. I am no piano player but you have me believing I can really do this.
I’m so glad you think so...and you CAN. :)
@@AimeeNolte Thanks Aimee. I bashed out that Gm and will take it from there. I see a new life opening up...
Hmmmm....that comment should have shown under Summertime in 2.
I like your teaching style Aimee!

You’re absolutely awesome and so so funky ! Thank you 🙏🏻 🎹🎹🎶🎵
I love this. I'm a bass player, but I like to learn songs on the piano just for my own fun. This lesson is so clear and approachable. More please
Well done! I like your videos because when you cover a concept you're articulate and precise without being dull and pedantic. There's freedom and spontaneity in your presentation. Keep making the great videos!
I just wanted to say I appreciate you breaking these delicious chords and rhythms down for us, Aimee! It keeps me excited to keep learning more piano (and music theory) :D. Keep up the great work!

FANTASTIC tutorial. We owe you
I will definitely say it's the easiest&coolest video i've ever watched about the basics of funk piano on youtube! Thanks!
Finally the video I've been looking for!This step by step breaking down and building up is really useful for a keys beginner like me!Thanks Amy for your great content!
From one musician to another all I can say is I love you so much thank you !😊
Omg this is sounds so so good I have to practice this especially the crazy part at the end.
Thank you very much for all of the content that you bring it's very helpful
I'm just seriously starting on piano
I play a whole bunch of other instruments relatively well..
guitar bass kalimba sitar drums and synths
but you are a bloody good teacher
you rip it apart into fragments and explain stuff that we all internalise but pass off and forget about. You, make a point of the small stuff and make it big.
Look after the small stuff and the big stuff will look after itself
Brilliant teacher
+Steve Blake 😍🙏🏼
Thanks so much for posting ! Your clear explanation and vibrant personality really shine !
You are a wonderful teacher with a wide ranging grasp of styles, rhythms and harmony. Bravissimo.
This is great ! One of my eureka moments as a bass player was learning to feel the 16th thing to get funky ! You are such a great teacher . Kudos !
This is pure gold, Aimee, thanks!! It is actually really hard to find lessons on comping and rhythm techniques. I think I need to dig a little deeper into your channel. Keep up the good work! 😊 Giselle
That was an invaluable lesson Aimee thank you! So great to be able to play along as you teach!
It's a pleasure see you and learn piano
Thanks! I appreciate the slow precise breakdown and repetition.
I’ve watched this video lots and I can finally play it pretty good, however this comment is about you saying “hip to this chord”. It has subconsciously entered my vocabulary 😅 thanks for lessons and for yourself in general Aimee! You’ve help me lots
Im a guitar player and call it the Jimi (Hendrix) chord! :-p
Excellent video Aimee. One of the best teaching breakdowns of a sophisticated rhythm (with some nice chord voicings thrown in) I've seen online. you're an excellent teacher.
I love the way you approach an this issue , even your voice is so beautiful.please receive my best regards .
Wow. So much more than just a piano lesson. Thank you.

Would love to learn the basics of Keyboard from you. You are a great teacher. For now, I can only play on Key C
Your knowledge, talent, coolness and yes, looks (especially in this video), are quite intimidating. I'm in awe.
you are SOOOO incredibly patient and thorough. love how you break things down. so detailed! such a talent!
I'm revitalized with your great presentation and diversity,,,,Thanx Aimee
Aimee, you’re the best. thanks 🙏 for the inspiration from your aussie fan 🇦🇺 Nick 👍

Funk is on the 1 Aimee. I feel explaining it that way is easier for people to understand. James taught us the proper way. Make it funky!!
You can tell seasoned players that and it makes a world of difference...but people who are new to funk just need to absorb it.

I like this progression
So good

I just discovered this, Aimee you're amazing, thanks! Greetings from Colombia!.
Great lesson I really like the way you teach it draws me in
Thank you! My band has covered this song for a while now and I cannot wait to learn this version. You are a lot of fun to learn from.
Thanks Paul
Thank you Aimee. I really enjoyed this. Played along with you with various chord substitutes. Really fun...
Oooo I love this! Glad I found you
Suas aulas são incríveis! Jomar, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil.
Such a great teacher. The beatboxing helped!
Love that gospel lick on the second-half m7.
I just came across your channel today!
You are an amazing teacher!
