    Hej Adam It would be great if backingtrack and/or sheet music were accompanied by a MIDI file. Then I could insert it directly into my DAW. Even better, transfer the MIDI file to my Yamaha P-S500. I am a beginner and find it very helpful to see which note/chord I should play on the keyboard. It is a quick way for me to learn new songs. Then I would gladly buy your courses. Best regards Bo Godthaab Denmark

    when you improvise with the blues scale, do you change the scale according to the chord changes or you do stick to the G blues scale for the entire chord progression ?

  • @thekeyscoach
    @thekeyscoachКүн бұрын

    You can do either! Maybe start with the G blues - then start changing the scale for each chord in the sequence.

I subscribed your channel only a week ago and learned already new things. No, I’m not a teached piano player but I use my ears as much and good as possible.

    How can I contact you with more questions on Paul's finger placement on chords? I know his style is very unconventional and he plays chords different than the traditional way. I am 37 and just starting out on piano. I have smaller hands and struggle with certain chords used in his songs.
