I learned a very slow and simple blues over 25 years ago. It started by struggling through some basic notes in a piano book but I enjoyed the sound so much, I just kept getting more and more into my own version of playing blues, and in about six months I had something fun - I still have to this day. While I enjoy Brendan's mastery of so many styles, it's not what people have complemented me with over the years. Because I enjoy my style, and play it - people enjoy it. For the person who is hearing Brendan play and feels overwhelmed at how fluid he plays - I want to JUMP UP AND DOWN and scream "his playing is impressive YES.. but yours will be great too" FIND YOUR STYLE and put it out there. People need to find a bit of themselves in their own personal version of the blues or whatever music is within you that wants to come out... and then play it If you love it... so will others.

much better than your usual lessons. I'm a fan of you but usually you play like your showing Jerry Lee Lewis a new lick, not us mere mortals. But at least you do show us NO ONE would ever show me anything when I was a kid, so I went to guitar....so I do thank you I truly do.

How this takes me back to my Uncle playing on my Gran's piano. I was captivated age 5......

best lesson ever THANK YOU Brendan Kavanagh

Excellent I wish this had been around 45 years ago......... HOOOOOOOW things would have been different.

My right hand has the blues after this video “No technique but all the feeling”

Yes left hand good and slow👌right hand to quick

That Ray Charles cosplay is amazing

Very good tips to Blus Impro.Thank you Brendan!

Thank You! The only piano GrandMaster I have to listen.

I think it's great. Thanks for the close up camera shots. I'm a beginner but I am also the kind of person that enjoys a good challenge because I know you can't improve unless you push your self. I've seen several of your videos at platform 88 and I must say I love them. Awesome sound. I may never become a good player but I can try. Thanks for helping us. Cheers from Southern California. 🎹✋🏻🤚🏻

Thank you dr.K . This is a great lesson for slow blues.

great video.....one of the best on the webz

Thank you for this tutorial. I saw the video of you and the gentleman at the airport. You are an amazing blues pianist and instructor

Awesome, thanks for sharing.

Enjoyed the video

Great fun! Not sure I agree with your definition of "beginners" or "slow" :) Still, fantastic video

Sos un crack!! Gracias por volcar sobre nuestras aspiraciones un pizca de tu talento! Saludos!!

That was absolutely beautiful to watch, and fucking unbelievably inspiring to carry on..but..It's not for beginners !!!! It's just showing off haha. Just recently I was in a car accident, I've lost all wiggle in right hand. So, I've decided to learn piano... have you, or does any one have any advice ? I've been brought up on blues. I'll never be able to play my guitar again, but I've seen videos of one handed pianists. Banging video dude, peace and love

rock on thanks!

Wow! Thanks soooo much for this. I can't believe it! I've been wanting to know the first 3 minutes of your video ALL MY LIFE!!!! (and I'm old) ;)

very funny brendan!! i want to learn how to play!! i will send you a video if a learn to play!! you have been an inspiration to learn!! big hug big man!! you show off bastard!! amazing how you play, i can see that you enjoy it very much, just as myself listening!!

Ditto what JiaMing said - "amazing." Really great stuff. It's really starting to sink in. You are so awesome, you've probably long since forgotten how hard it is to get the two hands going in the blues. This video is at a pace where what you are doing is actually comprehensible. This is the first time that I actually begin to understand how to use the blues scale in blues and boogie woogie. This and your emphasis on the trills. This is a terrific way to learn blues and boogie woogie. Great job. This is really foundational. More slow stuff like this, PLEASE. Also, less participation by your camera person, especially mimicking the guitar. Annoying - detracts from what you are trying to show us.

I am one of these piano beginners find it so hard to play different tempos with my left and right hands. My right hand just wants to play the same speed as my left. No matter how slow I play my brain just won't allow my hands to play independently. It might have come natural to you or you have forgotten how difficult it is playing trills with your right hand while keeping a rhythm with the other Love your playing though

The most important thing is to know your blues scale by heart. You should be able to improvise on it with your right hand without even looking. Then you'll be able to start learning to play both hands at the same time

I can’t wait to work on this tomorrow. I will also research the blue scale.

I’m not a beginner but I am self taught and trying to learn how to play by ear or by looking at fingers so this really helps thank you

"Unknown Chords with Anthony Bordain" Love the tutorial, thank you for sharing^-^

Wonderful lesson, Dr. K!

You are the best i've ever known...

Omg! What kinda teaching for beginner! :))))

Just great Brendan! Thanks bud! Dave in the Adirondacks

For all of you who think the demo is too fast, simply select Settings and slow down the Replay to .75 or .50 and it is easy to pick up the technique.

Great! Thank you 👏🏻👏🏻

great video! thanks trying this now.

Epic

AMAYZING!! THX YOU

Man come down hear unloaded two more months work...damn good lesson..no fooling round. Thanks.

@@riccardopaolocci1497 thanks! What im finding is because my right hand is faster, my left hand automatically tries to join in with the speed of my right hand, i need them to balance together. I will keep practising 😊

Could not find the link to download the sheet music to "Slow Piano Blues For Beginners."

I need 5 years to study this thing

My wrist is much too slow to do the thrill, do I get faster the more I do it?

Hi Brendan, isn't what you are playing "slow boogie" - isn't slow blues a different thing?

I have a piano keyboard and i dont know what tone to use.

Some basic "Turnarounds" would be nice

You teach like you’re performing

the Ray Charles glasses help?

i can manage it

It would be even better if I could download your fingers.... mine are bloody useless :)

Mr. Me it's similar to the greens scale but a bit darker?

Try to film with casting your shadow in the picture, camera person. Lol

That great stuff is absolutely not for beginners! It needs years to master the first stages of it! Very disappointing kind of scam

beginners Brendan ?? oh please, GTFO !! to much sun in da house mr sunglasses !!!
