Most of this stuff can be played by a solid intermediate player, but DAMN it helps to have a good teacher leading the way! Big thanks, Dave.
not sure if you guys cares but if you're stoned like me atm then you can watch pretty much all of the new series on InstaFlixxer. Been binge watching with my brother these days =)
What a brilliant teacher. Love to join his class ...... sadly I’m 75 yrs old now and missed the boat. But still love trying to glean lessons from TH-cam.
I'm 67 and started piano 5 years ago. I took the online Berkllee course 'Blues & Rock Keyboard' with Dave Limina and have since been jamming down at a local pub with a used Nord Electro 4 I picked up. Never too late!
I'm 44 and started my music studies a year ago. Today I enrolled on Berklee Online for Professional program in Keyboard.
@@not_name7421 Wow! Impressive. I am in the same class now, with Dave. Would you be open to sharing any pointers on how to translate this into being able to playing in the “real world”? I would to be able to jam at a local place (here in California).
It ain't over till its over John. For me, 40 years as a teacher and now a professional musician. Just watched Frankie Laine singing at age 90
When I first heard Ronnie Earl's "Linda" on Pandora, I was really impressed by the Hammond B3 on that song, so I just wanted to come here and say that Dave Limina is the real deal ... he stirs my blood (and so does Ronnie!).
This' exactly what am "suffering" from... Playing contemporary music. Been quite helpful to me.
Thanks a lot.
For some reason it's so hard as an adult to find a teacher who can teach what I was able to learn just from listening and watching this. Thanks so much
Sounds like you've found your teacher, YOU!!✌😎
That’s because they are all hung up on classical blah and sight reading blah blah blah. No other instrument in a rock or blues band gets that treatment. They are viewed differently. Guitar players generally do not know how to read sheet music, or much theory. You learn by jamming, and picking up a bag of tricks along the way. Same can be done with piano, but only if all you want to be is proficient at rock blues and pop.
The education portion of the music departments is sorely lacking in modern adult-learning principles and is still using stuff designed for kids a hundred years ago. I became an industrial trainer and liked it so much that I went back to school and got a hybrid engineering/education degree, BS in Advanced Technical Education, when I was in my 40's. At about 50 someone hands me a bass guitar at a jam night (I played electric organ as a kid), and next thing you know I'm playing in a rock and roll band at 55, still going at it at 66. Entirely self-taught.
And then the guys heard me singing at a practice and forced me to buy a mic! "You're a singer now." So I thought I'd take some lessons.
OMG it was horrible!!!!!!!!!!!! I could not work with the teacher 40 years my junior. They are stuck in the past, while this old fart works in the present, oddly enough. I CANNOT learn that way any more.
You're probably running up against the same thing. I ended up studying a lot on my own and using a lot of TH-cam tutorials. Which is pretty random and haphazard (I firmly believe that 80% of the Internet is just plain wrong!) And probably more work.
Look around, though, you may find better sources that fit YOUR learning style.
Edit: In fact, this type of video does far more for me than even the instructional ones. SHOW me what it looks like, what core activities are involved, and let me figure out HOW to do it on my own, thank you!
That's because not everyone really knows for real
Really excellent stuff! Well done, thanks a lot for this!
I think that lick has been used so much by now that it's probably only worth about twelve fifty these days, but still a classic and a must know.
Thanks for kicking open some doors for me;>)
???????
I'm glad he touched on the 1-5-6-4 thing.....it's literally like half of pop music these days....
Great info cheers!
Great presentation Dave. From retired Berklee prof.
Awesome, thanks
Please make more tutorial about jazz Bebop Piano. Thanks
I am thinking buying the David Limina and Paul Schmeling method called "Berklee instant keyboard". Any opinions on this book (i have started piano with the berklee method for piano and am on p 62); i am already a "musician".thanks
Nice, very Ramsey Lewis like
what are the triads he uses at 8:56?
It is puzzling how classical playing grooms players who are a slave to the music "exactly how written," why classical player has so much trouble "converting" to pop music - they become a slave to the written music
I think the same. I myself never went to musical school and never regretted it. The only thing that I try to make up with is googling hands position on different scales and trying to learn the notes for the right hand so that I will be able to read the melody. All the rest is my TURF. I play what I think would sound nice. As more songs I learnt and saw other professional pianists play the more TRICKS I would get from them. However, sight-reading can be really beneficial on rare occasions. For example, when I wanted to learn the exact licks my favourite pianists used. I am trying to train my relative pitch but it is still work in progress
Why is playing blues in G so hard?. I've been playing for years and it's always tricky.
Whoa! Gigging guitarist with bad keys chops here....just got my mojo workin'
Which song can we hear on 9.30 ?
+Briac Lr ,the song is Mustang Sally, artist Wilson Pickett

I am no piano player, but using my DAW I managed to make my little piece of musical work sound "blusey" by blatantly copying very nice sounding clips off of this youtube video, particular the section starting from 14:25.
The "T" is silent in often.
