Now thats a great compliment for me, thanks!

Thank you for this excellent lesson! I loved that you mentioned the need to shift your focus between the two hands and distribute your brain power. This is so important and rarely ever tought.

Dear Christian, thank you so much for making it easy for us to learn blues! The way you explained it step by step, it's like you read our mind! 🙏🙏❤❤

I totally agree...

How I would love to reach a point where I could play so smoothly like this man. I am doing the exercises that he recommends and actually am making progress. It's been 3 days of stopping at the piano when I walk by it and trying to do what he shows us. At first you feel like Don Music from Sesame Street who would bang his head on the piano when he couldn't figure things out but eventually, your fingers get in synch and your head stops thinking about every little move. It is like learning to type in that you eventually let the brain and fingers do their thing while you think of what it is you want to say and not the mechanics of hitting the keyboard. Christian, t hank you so much for sharing your expertise!

Hi G.D., I have the same pain like you. The more I train, the less intependence is growing. I am in big depression at present.

You are giving us jewels 💎 my friend, thank you for sharing!

You da man! Such a fine teacher and generous soul.

Thank you this is helping so much............ A+++++ Best on utube

There are lots of superb piano teachers on KZread and you are right up there in the mix , thanks

Excellent, thank you! Clear instruction and very understanding of beginner’s difficulties.

Christian is the BEST & most enjoyable teacher, Ya, Ya, Ya. 😘

Many thanks Christian, a great lesson. Trying to learn piano after all these years (60 years old!) Now 12 weeks of self isolation has given me some time to learn the basics. Really helping me get to work on hand independence, something cool to learn during these strange times. Stay safe.

It works!! Thank you so much Christian! Your tutorials are the best.

Great stuff mate for beginner blues students. I can't wait for the continuation of this series.

Thank you so mush for sharing your knowledge and skills of Jazz. I'm so happy to follow your teaching and learn a great deal. You're my Jazz Savior. Thanks!

Thank you your videos are just what I have wanted for some time

I admire his teaching skills so much that I will visit Berlin when I turn 70 and take him to a good Hungarian Restaurent - then have such a good time together I will crash on his sofa - and wake the next morning to play him some cool blues - many thanks

Hello Christian , this practice was like receiving your knowledge and patience on a big silver plate. How fortunate we are. Up to us to polish this plate as often as we want , “it’s all there for tutorial on that subject”. BTW. During your slow version, (so appreciative) it is still too fast for now, so I use a diminished speed Of .75 instead of ( little dots on top right) the full speed. It helps so much when I follow you simultaneously . One day: time is not that important, I’ll go full Formula 1 speed à la Louis Hamilton AND the right way ( I hope) :) thanks to you! Nicole from the sunny Florida

I just recently found your tutorials Christian, I really like the way you explain hand independence as well as your teaching methods in general, but obviously you know how important hand independence is to playing the piano... I'm an old guy who's been trying to find the way you teach for a long time, thank you so much... from an Australian down under... cheers mate 🙂👍🎹

This video helped me clean up some sloppy playing by forcing me to focus on a more accurate way of playing. BTW - I also got the accompanying sheet music and found the exercises especially helpful as well. All the best.....P

this is a good HI exercise, better than most on the University of KZread

Very funny and informative Thanks from CA

This was great for me. I've play good piano but i decided to restart from the start. It really helps my brain to be relaxe when I play.I'm zappy appy

Thanks for this; this has been frustrating me for a while. I shall follow this tutorial to the letter 🙂

Thanks ! very describe the feeling we have (dizzyness) about chord change & syncopation

Great video. I was really struggling with the mythical easy left hand. This one is much easier to master. You have a good sense of humour and give really good advice. Hello from Canada!

Vielen Dank für den Unterricht, ich finde er extrem gut!!! ich hab die 17 easy forms gekauft und es ist toll !!!! Liebe Grüße aus Nürnberg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Appreciate you so much Maestro ❤

Very cool!. That's exactly what I needed. Agree with the basic shuffle 1-5 and 1-6. It has cost me plenty of time to challenge this. Meanwhile I got adapted to another left hand from a beginner video from you, which is 1-b7-5-6-5 (counts 1 2+3 4). Even my piano teacher asked for that specific riff ;-) If possible for another beginner video, I'd like to see more right hand lines for that specific left hand bass line.

You can use all lines in the world for this left hand. Dont make your lines lock to just one left hand...

Very good explanation. Many thanks and a Grey after that :)

Super!! Thank you for this lesson. I will study it until I master it!

Grande Christian! Grazie.

Oh wow, that makes a lot of sense ..thank you!🇨🇦

Seems I’m busy the next weeks 🤣 Thank you ♥️

Excelent lesson!!!

Oh, and you are very correct that this left hand is easier to learn than the basic chop for this kind of training. A+ call!

Thx Todd!:-)

can the second and fourth of the beat be syncopated? between the left hand count?

I have difficult to transpose my blues skills in all 12 keys because of the key-dependent fingering, the different position of grace and cluster combination from one ey to another. Have you some exercises with printed fingering in all the keys, or there are some general rules to apply? Thanks about your work

@ChristianFuchsBlues

I dont have exercises. But I can tell you that everybody in the world has the same problem. Some keys have similarities like D and E an A for some licks. Other licks need different setting. Find your favorite setting for a key and then STAY with it! The rest is practice practice practice. And in live improvisation we often improvise fingersetting, too. Cause we always come from a different situation. Its not all as clean as in a perfect exercise.
