Bombstep: How to Play a High-Energy Piano Keyboard Funk Groove (advanced tutorial) 

Im stunned. 3 minutes into the video, I dont know how I never found this channel. Gonna proceed to binge watch all of your videos. Im so happy.

He’s in the car driving to Funky Town.

I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone have more fun playing piano. Fun to watch and listen to, as well. Nicely done, sir!

Funksmash! What a pleasant person you are - and such a great teacher. Just found this by accident, thought I would watch it for fun - and I ended up learning something instead. Thanks for sharing yourself and your gifts! Great vid! Subscribed!!!

Thanks to RU-vid algorithms your clip just popped up .... Worth a sub without question. Great screen presence & you explain it very well. Brilliant!!!!

I remember you! A funk lesson you did years ago, an advanced funk groove. Different channel. It was awesome. I was just a kid. You always manage to get me on the piano and get practicing. Everything you teach is really fun to play. Really great guy!

Wow ! I just discovered your channel and I am blown away. This is song is above my level because I haven't played in over 10 years due to a right middle finger injury but I want to give this song a shot. It will probably take a couple of months to learn and play it but I will send you a link when I'm comfortable in playing it. Thank you so much for giving me the spark to challenge myself and get back to playing.

Nice funk groove!! Love it when the vid first shows you the whole lick and then breaks it down. Because you can hear it and determine if you wanna stay for the rest or not. Thanks for posting!

Once in a while I get to hear tunes which lead to goose bumps, yours is one of them ^^

Oh I like this Jonathan! Always exciting to see some new funk grove tutorials! Look forward to getting stuck into this! Thank you!

OMG you're back! YES!!! I love your channel for years and keep coming back!

Oh my! I just can’t stop discovering the greatest teachers that I’ve never known in my life just on RU-vid. And that’s it month by month. It’s like an open college just in my hand. I hope that I could get enough time to spend on this treasures.

I'm hooked! I love the joyful, funky impishness of this channel. Equal parts love of the groove, deep applied theory, pandering free teaching and humor.

You’re a very good teacher! You have a very humble friendly approach. And yet you’re better than 99% of the pianists on RU-vid!

still loving it! i hope you do more on this channel. this is one of my lowkey favourite channels ever.

This is great stuff. Watched up into the A section. The performance and tutorial were both awesome. I couldn't play this at tempo, but I'm definitely checking out your other videos. Thanks for sharing this. Nice playing! Really fun jam.

Man! I cant even believe you exist! This kind of video is the ultimate content to learn, you do it so good deamn. Im not that much advanced but i cant way to start playing like you!

Funksmash! This is an awesome tune and I'm really happy it ended up in my recommendations. I'm going to devote April break to watching all of your old videos :P

This is beautiful! Beautiful music and a beautiful man! You're ability for rhythmic playing is other worldly.

So glad I found your channel I have been searching for funk specific keyboard guidance

FUNKSMASH! Always love your work Jonathan, you inspire me with every video you produce. I'm gonna do my dam best to get this one down and show you!

I have never seen better technique or more solid funk. It is my sincere dream to be a player like you some day. I don't have a lot of hope...... But just keep doing what you do. Some people think this is easy. They are so wrong.

Holly crap... This was an amazing funksmash. I don't even know how to play piano, but stayed till the end... this was entertaining... And the song is a Bomb..... an absolute FUNKSMASH

Wow. Just wow. That’s solid all the way around. Funkalicious for sure!

What a wonderful joyful soul, your teaching is so inspiring and just fun! I hope you can continue sharing your love for this music with us all and inspiring the next generation of funk musicians!! - In this age of the internet thanks for creating such a safe and important musical learning space and providing an example for how musicians should share their knowledge, with humility but also passion and the desire to push others to greater heights. Your name should be on the hall of fame ! and not only that - please go and do a tour with Vulfpeck!

Gosh, I love your energy and your enthusiasm

One of the best classes what I saw in youtube!))

Awesome! My students will love this! Thanks so much for doing this for us all.

Holy Crap Bombstep just blow up my head. Really cool sounding tune but most important unbelievable playing.

Can't wait to funksmash the hell out of this tune 🔥🔥 amazing work mann!

Funksmash !! Jonathon thank you so much for the music! I've been following you for ages! It's great you make tutorials about your music! It's awesome! Greetings from Perú 🇵🇪 =D

Thank you very much for the backing track and sheet music I really appreciate this !! Thank you again Teddy korbos !!

Favorite one yet! And thank you so much for the sheet music and the backing tracks - us classically trained musicians just aren't as cool as the rest of you and really appreciate the help. RECOMMENDATION FOR YOUR NEXT PIECE: Christmas! - I would love to see what you could do when you bring your flavor of funk to a Christmas tune. That, and us mere mortals will need a couple of months to get it down, so don't wait until the snow starts falling.

Long time no see! and your playing is always epic! really helpful

Fantastic video, I’m so so happy I stumbled upon your channel! You’re awesomely positive and this tune made me glad and put a smile on my face :) can’t wait to learn it! Please keep up the fantastic job!

Man you're awesome!!! That's exactly what I was searching for! Thanks! Going to practice

The intro music sounds so great!

Hello Jonathon, I had tremendously enjoyed your tutorials done for "... Village" (I liked your then shorter beard lol )... Don't tell anyone, but I had used one in my promotional video. Nobody has ever commented on that excerpt but I sure did work diligently on it. All this to say that I am so thrilled that I've accidentally stepped into this presentation. I find your precision and ease inspiring. A big thumb up!

Funksmash!! Glad you‘re back.

Funk SMASH! I’m about half way through memorizing this groove, can’t wait to finish it!

Awesome tutorial. Thank you so much for your generosity 😊

Hello Jonathan - The RU-vid algorithm found out about your killer groove(s) and brought me here. I know what you’re thinking, there goes another guitarist trying to horn in on the keyboard player's action! Yup. You’re right. Great stuff you’re dishing out on your channel. Love it! Thanks for sharing.

Funksmash from France ! Thank you so much for your awsome work !!!!

Thanks for time and knowledge, appreciatte it!! keep on moving

dayum... ! this is incredible and i am itching to request something really specific, but first i have to watch all of your videos and... freak out or something.

this is great, I love your grooves!

The beginning of the backing track reminds me of teenage dirtbag haha! This is as always a masterpiece! I love it!

You are the best teaching funky stile...!

I cried tears of joy halfway through the opening jam.

What a wonderfully crafted video. High quality stuff! Edit: subscribed ofcourse (:

What thaaa *** man ! Lol .... loved your playing . Smooth , yet powerful & groovy .

Funksmash at its funkiest smash, man, many thanks for teaching I will have a lot of fun with this, just subscribed to your channel. So cool 😎

This channel is frigan awesome!

Thank you for your game, warmed up the soul.

Thank you! Awesome, inspiring funky goodness.

Ok... I will send you the link from my version when I am ready... Jesus, this groove is so cool

The legend is back!!

Thank You. You're so unselfish. You deserve more subscriber. GOD Bless. 🙏

Measure 1 of section B was driving me nuts. He left out the B flat below the A flat in the base (in the sheet music, not his tutorial) in the middle of the measure. But what a great tutorial and what a great piece. Thank you Jonathan.

Hello! I introduce myself, I am your best student. thanks for teaching me so much. You are my best teacher and so far you know haha. You are the best and I almost learned all your "funk". Thanks JW!

Great stuff. Looking so much forward to our recording session.

Oh man oh man oh man. I remember you! A decade back I watched Funk piano groove #4 and when I saw this video I immediately recognized you. back then I could only play the piano a little bit and I don't think I'm much better now, but just like back then your way of teaching this mixed with the enthusiasm really gets to me. I grabbed my old midi keyboard and I'm already halfway through this video (Only took about one and a half hour lol) . Your way of teaching clicks with me. If I ever manage to play this fluently you WILL get a video from me. Stay awesome man. Also the tunes you pick for this are just sooo good. Do you write them yourself? They are amazing.

Totally caught off guard with this one. You don't look like a funk player but man can you bring on the jam! Sweet!

Man "Lighter" I am delighted!!!🤩

keep em coming dude, love the content

I hurt both of my hands last week and my learning wishlist has been growing nonstop since then I can't wait to be able to try this
