    So happy that you showed us the solo using the pentatonic scale. One of the many terrific things about your lessons is that you go beyond just telling us what chords to play. You are teaching us how to play the piano 😊🎉.

    Nicely done Brenda, very nicely done both in instruction but most definitely style. Loved the theory approach as apposed to others that just say hit these keys. I started playing as a young man so long ago. But then duty called. Now a lifetime later with no place I need to be, nothing I must do & no responsibilities to bear I have all the time in the world. To quote Spiderman, it is my gift, it is my curse. So I dusted off an old keyboard that has travel silently with me over this long passage of time, waiting patiently as have I for our day in the sun. This was fun! Time for fun again, hopefully my fingers remember. Thank you dear!

    Hello Brenda, from the Hunter Valley, New South, Wales, Australia. This was really helpful and your style of explanation, I find really easy to follow. I'm wondering if you'd be interested in doing a KZread tutorial for beginner piano players on playing a rock n roll style pattern, that could fit or be adapted to a large number of 12 bar style rock n roll style songs. The target audience would be people like myself. Those that have a basic understanding of music , can play chords and a little bass line, but are now stuck with what to do with it. I have seen some guitar tutorials that do this sort of thing "100 songs with four chords" , but not so much for those learning piano. As a person learning, I think the variety that is created by being able to adapt the same idea, easily to other song, really helps hold a persons interest and sense of achievement. I think that perhaps other people would also find this helpful and hopefully, it would also help creating more interest in your channel. Once again, thank you for this lesson, I really enjoyed it. I have subscribed. Best wishes, Clive...
