Holy crap, you are so underrated. Best video on improv i’ve seen (and i’ve searched A LOT). Straight to the point and clearly outlines useful tools. I am having so much fun just messing around on the piano now. Thank you!

Finally someone who makes mistakes and is relatable rather than a teacher that never makes a mistake and frustrates you because they're "so good" and well your just learning

Bloody hell! This man has (all the) improv that I can only cry to learn and do with extreme impossibility! And he uses the curse of Pachebel as an example and then lifted the curse with improv! Most KZreadrs do talk about improvisations but extremely vaguely. Coincidentally I plan to re-learn piano once again as an old MOFO as I now am. But due to aging issue I do not need the traditional learning that 99.9999% of 'teachers' teach to squeeze more money out of learners. I now am seriously thinking of learning from this man.

This helped me quite a bit actually. It was hard for me to understand what is going through mind of someone who improvise but now I understand it a much better.

It's actually not that hard once you understand the logic behind it, and you just need to use it only if you want to simplify the movement of your hand while playing and make the sound a bit more interesting.

Both 1st and 2nd inversion will have a stretch between fingers 1 and 2. Remember that Play a chord with fingers 1-3-5 as usual. Move 1 to where 3 was and play 1-2-5. This is 1st inversion. Move 1 to where 2 was and play 1-3-5 (remember the stretch!). This is 2nd inversion. Once again, move 1 to where 3 was. Now you would be back at your original chord - no stretch this time, play 1-2-3. It’s a difficult pattern to master, but there is a rhythm that can be followed for any chord inversions. Hoped this helps :)

I'm not sure which foreign music you mean, but the chord-based approach can work for all sorts of songs across many genres. The best way to see if the songs you are interested in can be played this way is by Googling the song name plus "chords". Usually one of the top results will be good. :) -Jacques

to make chord inversions easier, atleast 1st inversion look at your pinky for the c as long as u know the finger position for the inversion example E G C look at the position of fingers now hold that shape and move it down or up so your pinky lands on the next note in the progession.

Is it ok that I play the chord with my left hand (and improvise the left hand) while playing a simple right hand melody? When I purchase sheet music with the lyrics, there are two right hand staves. The upper is simple notes that follow the words of the song. The middle staff if played is harder to sing along with. So I've been playing the upper right hand staff and improvising playing chords on the left hand. But I want it to sound more 'passionate'. Am I doing everything backwards? lol. Amazing video!

Man I'm so new but I've been watching a ton.. My question is how do I determine which C to play. Sometimes a c starts with a G with my pinky (I think) is that me needing to learn music theory? If so.. Does your course teach that? And like how do I know a C doesent start with my pinky on a c but starts with my pinky on a g a c and then an E. You know what i mean
