As a drummer I mastered four way independence. Now I have to master ten fingers, two hands, arms, shoulders, posture. This simple exercise is exactly what I neeed!

As I learn the piano I feel as though I am learning a vocabulary of sonic ideas that emerge from my hands. I started out with a C scale and then played all the major scales. Three years later I feel as if my vocabulary has greatly expanded but there's an infinity of piano knowledge ahead of me. Chords, scales, modes...it ain't gonna sound like Beethoven.

You are great, my man! Thank you

Thanks Christian!

This, I’m gonna try, for sure!!! This whole video has sooo much in it, I’m gonna be busy for a whole month working on this! Also, I’m no good at lifting lines from solos, so the first concept you showed here is super useful for me to understand: solos can add a pick-up lick, descend, add pick-up line, repeat descent. Super cool trick to know! Thanks!

And the great thing: You can use the same pick-up line in a bar near you! Always works.

I'm just two and a half years into my piano study. I note that my fingers want to fall in certain regular places. Problem is, they're the wrong places. If this is how a 'style' emerges, I'm all for it. I first must reign in the bad habits of my fingers. So I'm repeating your three finger blues patterns with great dedication; although they aren't really "three" finger patterns if I watch your hands carefully. I caught you using your pinkie! Bottom line is that you and your videos are fun!

I will be 60 in a few weeks time. I can't play but hope to learn in the next few weeks for my own entertainment. I LOVE your videos which I find both informative and entertaining. You are a wonderful person. Thank you. Best Wishes from Australia.

🎵Superman may have given away his secret identity!! 😂😂 Great lesson Christian and wonderful to have these runs in a blues jam key of E (bloomin' guitar players)! A must see lesson, invaluable! Thanks so much for posting! 👏👏👏👏🎵

In fact, Christian Fuchs is not my real name, and Superman is my real identity.

The best musicians sometimes are not the best teachers. I think you're a good teacher and an excellent musician. you also have a sense of humor and a bit of self-contempt, which is necessary for an artist. I'm finding these blues "memes" hypnotic. Got a lot of practicing ahead of me.
