The best on this Tutorial is the Voice of the Speaker. 👍🏻 He has all of the Groove in this explanation. 👌🏻 And the only Thing to play like this is Soul. When you feel it, then ITS all you need.

@charlesvanderhoog7056 25 дней назад

Yeah! I played like this in the seventies, funk all around. Pieces lasted 15 to 30 minutes in this vein, long long solo's. It was absolutely crazy but great fun. And people danced and danced on these grooves for hours. Can you believe it? (Disco had not been invented yet. That came with Saturday Night Fever, 1978, movie. House, garage, techno, all that stuff started around 1990.

@pianoproductivitypeace 25 дней назад

Love it! Must of been a great era! Some of my best musical memories are playing funk for hours on end at bush parties - 10min solos, building up the dance floor - great times :) I also have massive appreciation for the genres that came later, I am a 90s child! Thanks for sharing :)

It’s my 50th anniversary as a synth player…nobody plays like me, but you still taught me something! (I never learned piano, so my left hand has been chords and pitch-bend only). You’re a champion mate. So cool & casual, making the complex accessible and actually easy. I think everyone noticed your discipline in holding back the urge to let fly. But you did it, in the way only Australians can. Thanks for actually thinking about your audience as people, it shows, and is a rarity in this world. 👍🌟🔥
