David Benoit recorded one of my fav all time albums 'This Side Up' 🔶🔷

guys in a very high chair

So if I dont have a score and dont have perfect pitch, how is it possible to figure out what the best key for me?

I really would have appreciated a snippet of the sounds of the sxcercises instead of a long sales pitch about yet another 'method'.

Scott, that's fantastic. That really helped the flexibility of my fingers.

I only started playing keyboard 2 years ago. I'm OLD and I don't have time for all that emphasis on technique. I learn songs, and develop technique that way, and I LOVE learning and playing my favorite songs. I have played guitar since I was a teenager, but was always fascinated with piano, and I've loving my journey down that path!! I can read music (not perfectly yet) and I know the keyboard. I love your videos and learn a lot that way, too!

a man who has to make noise haha

Thank you. I've been out of the game too long. I needed a quick refresher. This was perfect.

Thank you. Perfect info. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Mr.Scoot, I really love it.

Give us a complete tutorial

This is not very helpful

Thank you, this is very helpful. 👍🏼

What a great explanation. Thank you so much for this video.

I think we got a problem here Houston.

Bro never complete the whole song💀💀

Youre the man brother thank you 🙏🤘

i had such a hard time trying to find this again. thank god

Scott, you are a God sent, I got a Keyboard as birthday gift from my daughter. Believing how hard it might be to learn how to play, I did not even attempted to take classes, With your amazing, easy to understand and fun way of teaching, I am confident that it is possible for me to play it someday. You brought hope and inspiration to my life. After I am through with these daily practices, I will take your online courses, which I am sure would be awesome. Thank you ,thank you ,thank you

So the key basically depends on (1) The notes that composed the song (2) the singer's range. If the highest note of a song is in high C and the lowest is in F, and your range is B-G, then the high C is your G and F is your low C. So, the key can be the one in the middle of low C and G which is the E. If I analyze it further, it shows that the original singer's key is A. And if the notes the composes the song cannot be adjusted for your range, then it shows that you need to select a different song to sing, Correct?

It is a beautiful song. Why the sneering by the guy not playing?

Too much talking,,,, Play!!!!!

The finger positions in the left hand are rather impractical.

Damn, I always based me key of lad the first chord , woops

Sucks

I've just ended up on the video and watched again , 3 years later, you say it how it is , all poodles are dogs , but not all dogs are poodles.

Thank you very much I have always indifferent about this

Amei…obrigada por compartilhar.👏❤️🌺

Why don’t you edit your videos? (Take the mistakes out) it would be less confusing for people trying to learn

Beautiful.

7:40 Thank you for explaining this so basically and showing two examples to help me understand Vocal Ranges.

Too good. Very very easy way of understanding what a diminished chord is. I am thankful to you for ever

Ok! That I like a whole lot! 😊

Great tutorial

Hi! Very quick question: I am trying to remix a song with female vocals which is in e minor. What I want to do is keep the key of the song (and obv the female vocals) as is - in e minor - but I want to use the female acapella and at certain parts of the vocals change (lower) their key to make them sound like they're male vocals. So as to end up making a "duet" off a man and a woman :P My question is what key "goes" with this e minor song for the "male" vocals; so that I know what key/s I can shift the female vocals to add the parts of the song that I want? I assume that this must be possible as there are countless songs with man/woman duets that is obv one key, but that doesn't mean that the male tries to make his voice sound... female lol (and the male vs female vocals are obv sang in different keys since a man has a "deeper" voice than a woman- right?) THANKS!!

Scott actually said it perfectly-It’s like trying to pat your head and rub your stomach (In a circular motion) at the same time. They are two different motions controlled by the left brain and the right brain (right hand and left hand). They can be done but you do have to go very slowly first and take your time until they eventually just come together (In the brain- also called muscle memory). It really is more than just knowing the chords or the rhythm by themselves. It takes a lot of focused practice, but you will eventually get it. Patience is key. Good luck. 👍

I like your style!!

In 2024, im grateful Man...Lots of Love from Kenya

This is kinda strange but it work butt if you use the Nashville number system for high singers you move the key down for lower singers you move the key up Lol😂

Great video. Very informative. I learned a lot.

I bought your DVD many years ago and still have it! I was already playing keyboards then but I found your presentation style so practical on PBS that I had to have a copy to revisit the basics I had taken for granted. Now I’m recommending you to people who ask me how to get started. Thanks Scott!

Hi, Scott. I was anticipating that you'd run the whole song again, putting together all riffs and licks from 1st video to 5th, before concluding. That's my only disappointment.

Can you help me? I recently had a stroke. left hand out of commission for now, In like to practice right simple Basie riffs..any vids. I can look at to practice slow.. get the brain back on board? thx

Nice stuff but slow it down, losing then feeling of the song.

This is fabulous

Wow simple and short. Thanks doc ❤

This is the most helpful video I've seen on the subject so far. Thank you!

So, transposing the song?

Thank you so much for this
