It helps so much that you outline 3 levels of difficulty, one clear step at a time. This is the first time I'm beginning to feel that this style is possible for me to learn and do ! Like the simple melody for demos, yet you show the anticipations etc that give it a jazz sound.
I'm only in my third month of lessons so I have no clue as to what you're talking about - but it makes me so excited to keep learning!!! :-) Thanks so much for sharing.
Thank you sooo much! I was wondering how to coordinate my left hand and learn new rythyms to promote my playing. When I first starting playing a while back, I focused on my right hand, not my left hand because I thought that the melody was the most substantial thing in a song. THANKS!!!!!!!!!!:)
Thats some great advices. im very into this style right now. im looking for to make my own arrengement with that tecnique and i used different types of vocings. i discovered it sound very good when the chord in the second and fourth beat, by putting togheter the 7th and 8th in minor chords and dominants, and the 6th and 5th in major chords. sounds pretty good
I had a piano teacher once who insisted that I learn the Fats Waller style by playing in octaves on one five, one five. I had a bad TBI that affected my left side and gave diplopia, which makes it very difficult to do. Watching this and how to play the 1-5 variations really helped. I just can't keep time with my left hand being all over the keyboard.Thanks!
can you do a tutorial on 80's power ballad please? or can you recommend a book on this sort of matter please? I took some classic piano lessons and have played for a 2 year, but what I'm really into is rock and pop music especially comping (accompanying while me singing). Thank you very much! Like your clip. :)
Stride playing can be annoying when it comes to coordinating your left hand. I find it helpful doing a little analysis of pieces I'm playing -- knowledge of the chord progression helps me to remember where I need to go next. That's probably a great tip in general. Also, hat third way you demonstrated of LH stride technique makes me think of Chopin a little. And you're right. It's a staple of Broadway music and early-20th Century compositions. Keep playing! :)
dont forget to be realistic - you'll have to do some work whatever method you use for becoming a pianist I've been studying teaching yourself piano and discovered a great resource at Turbo Piano Secret (google it if you're interested)
This is NOT stride, this is a kind of ragtime. Stride left hand *never* repeat the same chord again; and little finger make a basse line, never 1-5-1 !

I love the way you teach; very comprehensible, and I have pick up the 3 left-handed Technique's rather easily.
ThankYou Debbie,
I'll never forget it. I'll be checking out more of your offerings.
This was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you. And thanks for explaining everything you were doing, it was very clear and easy to follow.

I was expecting to see some tenths played in the left hand, particularly as Fats Waller was mentioned in the commentary.
