  • You just gave away all my secrets ???? Start with simple single note melodies and then go back through and make it more elaborate

  • Hi Christian- great video! So much in here to learn. Any thoughts around getting comfortable with inversion chords other than just practice, practice? I’m so used to knowing and going to chord name immediately by hitting root note that links it to chord name. That extra step to think which notes do I hit now again for inversion form is always a tricky transition. Thanks! Appreciate it.

  • Woh! Just found you… A fantastic lesson (though a little too much for me at the 12 mins mark lol). Your, playing and knowledge and more importantly your tone and instruction are clear and great for me. I love the visuals of your playing and description of the notes. I have probably 2 years of lessons here in 18 mins 34 seconds. Thank you very much.

  • I’m certain no newb on piano (lol take a peek) and for me this video was CHOCK FULL of excellent tips. Not too heady with theory, C major so easier to visualize, clear easy examples, not over-playing, audio levels balanced well. Haha great job!!

  • If you combine the left hand root + 5th + octave pattern in the left with the previous arpeggio pattern in the right hand you're pretty much playing Ludovico Einaudi style
