Off The Cuff Groove 001 - Piano Keyboard Funk Groove
Piano's in storage. No space in the current place for full-on video lessons. So I just fired up my Mobius Looper and played a little funky "live" groove by assembling live recorded loops. Yes: That is a cat toy at my feet next to my FCB 1010 midi foot pedal.
Levels were a little hot, but that's what you get with a single-take off-the-cuff groove.

The keyboard is a Casio Privia-PX 330, but I'm not using the internal sounds for this. It's a VST called "MrRay73" run through an amp simulator called FreeAmp and a 'vintage' reverb called OldSkoolVerb.

plz mate do more stuff like that i genuelly just listen to this everyday as any other great tunes please let your groove flow out more
Halfway through I got so into it that I picked up my bass and joined in! Great job!
Grannies gonna backflip right outta their rockin' chairs when they hear this yooooo!!
The only problem I have with this video is that it's 8 minutes and not 60 minutes.
Why haven't I heard of you? Your professionalism is off the charts. Amazing precision. I need a lifetime of scales to run those sweet rolls you did over and over, each better than the last.... I had to sit down for a couple minutes after listening, but felt much better than I did before I heard it. Your playing is smooth, professional and magnificent. Among the best funk players I have ever seen.
This is so funky it made all the carpet in my house shag.

Underrated comment
the quality of every lick u play in this whole 8 min song, never diminishes, at any point. it was an honour to see/hear this vid. youre somethin brother.
i've been a fan of yours for the past 5 years. you basically taught me how to play funk piano when i was in college, and i was trying to play this stuff since high school. i like your blues language, although i would've loved to hear it with a piano tone because the piano brings its own bluesy colour which i personally love. great video!
My buddy told me about your channel and I am so grateful. This is music therapy, a music lesson, and cardio session all rolled into one! YOU are the "Funky White Boy" of legend.
That was some epic sick stuff right there man. Amazing and very inspiring ☺️
Absolutely fantastic. My jaw hit the floor as you kept layering on the groove. Just awesome.
Dude, I would give anything to be able to play like you. Thank you for your generosity in sharing all of this !
I can't stop watching this... Amazing groove man!
That's cool that this is four years old and still getting so much love... Loved it.

Wow! This is going in my Wow bookmarks collection! Very impressive and funky and tasty in a variety of genres.
you’re absolutely killing it I love it
Yooooo! That was some sick funk! :D Brilliant stuff.
I don't know what's going crazier, your hands or your legs!!
The absolute business. If I could give you a million thumb's up, I would. Super talented.
Well, you've done it again, Jonathan! Hats off to you! I took my daily dose of funk and can go on with my day. Cheers!
You are the Victor Wooten of funky grooves on a keyboard!!! Damn!! I imagine it's difficult for you to leave the house with that amount of cool going on!! AWESOME, AWESOME,AWESOME!!!!!
@scifizydeco All sounds are from a laptop hosting VSTs. One of them is "Mobius" a great (and free) looper. I set up the first 10 preset buttons on my FCB1010 to play midi notes (very low notes). These trigger events in mobius: Start Record, Stop Record, Next Track, etc.Message me -- and I can give more details. Or maybe I'll try and put together a quick video overview.
Damn. That was a nice groove. It made me feel like joining in a jam session. Nice work. Hope you are still playing and inspiring others to play.
the one i was looking for. such an amazing groove.
Ouchhhh !! What a Jam !! You are an amazing performer.
This sounds so incredibly "perfect"! As funky and groovy as it gets. Admirable skills.
The best groove I've honestly ever heard. How in the hell did he improvise this........
Absolutely in love with this
Thanks, Maria :) - The pedals (in this setup) let me control my loops: start record, stop record, switch loops, etc. It is a Casio Privia, but I'm not using the internal sounds here, instead using some soft synths (VSTs) on my laptop.
amazing as always! This one was definitely worth the wait!
The distorted tones remind me of grand funk railroad and it’s sick. You’re so good damn
Fantastic! Oh how I wish I had this talent. Really wonderful!

@i2h12315 Ha! Yep - good eyes. That is the case for my Behringer XM8500. I recorded straight into the PC this time, (but had levels too high...) I hope to get back to tutorials soon -- just not much space in the current place.
Daaaaamn that was epic
Holy Moly!!! That's smokin'!!!
thanks to people like you !!
You have no idea how lucky you are to have the intuition for these grooves. I've been trying to do this on keys for 20 years and have never figured it out, not for lack of trying.
I appreciate this very nice time funky !!!
FINALLY! glad to have another vid brotha
Bro. You're killing it man. I want to use explicit language but I dont want my coment deleted. Much respect bro. That's an awesome groove
So awesome 😎
