Quite unbelievable that you are giving away these quality lectures for free when I've seen most expert tutors getting paid hundreds of dollars for only just an hour of learning session. I know this is not the same but still. BIG RESPECT!
Thank you , the last one is faster , and it is easy to recognize on wat ever degree , the thumb is on the third white key on the third possible major or minor
i haven't decided yet if using thumb/middle or thumb/index combo when doing the chromatic scale....i was watching Vladimir Horowitz and i could swear he was using the thumb and index on his chromatic scale....he was playing really fast so i could be mistaken
Good point! Ultimately, it depends on the context - sometimes 1-3 is a better choice and sometimes you're going to want to use your index finger. Good luck!
Love your channel. I have large hands with "non-slim-ish" fingers. Thus, I often have some problems getting between black keys easily while playing chromatic scales. No gene therapy yet available to slim my fingers. Any suggestions? Thank you Michael
This is not an uncommon problem. You will need to play in the area outside of the black keys which will require moving "in" and "out" of the keys, toward and away from the fallboard. I talk about that motion in this video - hope it's helpful: th-cam.com/video/drMQ9NKFXGc/w-d-xo.html
In finger in #1 technique why is there finger 4 in it? Is that a typo error? Please let me know. Thanks and I really enjoy all of your videos. They are very informative.
4 is included here above the note because that note is the top of the scale. Using 4 at the top can be acceptable to avoid any unneeded additional thumb cross, since a thumb cross isn't needed at the top of the scale. Glad these videos have been helpful! 😊

There is really a big difference between a professor teaching and a simple player teaching. Give a big thumb up praise for professor Boyd.👍👍👍
Thanks so much! 🥰

Tucker! ❤ Did you get a new puppy?
Yes! He is 2 years old, and we got him from the Michigan Standard Poodle Rescue! He's a handful but so full of love!

Listening to those scales has me tired and dizzy. :)
