If I can ever find the space, I'll get my keyboard out and use it! In the meanwhile, I'll use ma gee-tar. I can do all these things on my axe. BTW, I do the "slur" on the 3rd too. It gives it the sound. Thanks, I like funk, too! 👍 👌 🤪

Dear Coach, thanx for the excellent lesson. Can you please explain whats in the patch of the nord?
Hi Adam. I am loving your lessons and learning a lot from you... especially the recent inversions lessons you did. You may be already planning this...though I said I would comment a request incase...any chance of a similar Runthrough of 'playing The Blues on Piano' might be possible? Would love to learn some piano blues chops. I am in the beginner bracket...playing about 1.5yrs...loving the journey. Thanks for all! Brian

when you improvise with the blues scale, do you change the scale according to the chord changes or you do stick to the G blues scale for the entire chord progression ?
@thekeyscoach

You can do either! Maybe start with the G blues - then start changing the scale for each chord in the sequence.

Nice! I play a Nord Electro - it’s great!
we even have an original HOHNER Clavinet C at home 🙂
hey! i´'m playing with my nord electro and it seems that mine don´t produce that keyoff sound as yours do. What sound are you using?
@thekeyscoach
Ай бұрын
I'm actually using a sound from Logic - Funk Clav which I've then tweaked.
Did the clav really sound like that on the old Electros? I mean it's super funky, but sounds more like a clav and a wurlitzer layered? Maybe it's just subharmonics from the distortion, but I really don't remember it sounding like that back when I had my Electro 2.

@@thekeyscoach nice! I was sure something was off. I restored 2 Clavinets and 4 Wurlies so far, so my ears are pretty sensitive to these things. The blend does sound really cool, though. After posting I realised that it actually reminds me a lot of the Hohner Clavinet/Pianet Duo sound as well, so you could actually get that type of sound fully analog :)

Why not call those 7th chords flat 7th chords since the 7th degree is being lowered and not apart of the key? C7 seems like it should use the B note instead of the Bb in the key of C or G
@rockallmusic
17 сағат бұрын
Cmaj7 has the B natural from the major scale and Cmin7 has the Bb from the minor scale. C7 is known as a "dominant seventh" and actually comes from the Mixolydian scale with a major's 3rd and a minor's 7th. Seventh chord notation is a little confusing at first! In the key of C there's only one dominant chord (G7 = GBDF), but in funk and blues we go a little crazy with borrowed dominant chords from outside the key! Dominant 7s have a strong counter-clockwise pull around the Circle of Fifths.
So 50 years later you figured out to play our music, congratulations
