Stop using ONLY OCTAVES in your left hand 🛑 | You have other options 

Literally the best gospel piano teacher on RU-vid hands down

Hi. I just wanted to thank you for introducing me to this technique. I don’t ever recall anyone ever sharing this technique. It really does sound beautiful. Thank you very much. I am going to use this process as much as I can. I wish you continued success with all of your music videos and all of your music endeavors. Plus I am also wishing you continued financial success as well. Thank you again for sharing this wonderful technique. Have a wonderful day.

Such an underrated topic

Like I was wondering what to do with my left hand just last night, and then boom I bump into this! So dope!!!!

I REALLY needed this. Thank you SO much!

Yes, I’m re-watching!! This is GOLD!!🔥

Sometimes i do chords with the left hand especially if I'm playing melodies with the right, or 1 + 5, or 1+5+1. I always tend to play the chord in the left if im going to hit 7th chord (for example) in the right hand.

Our teacher and mentor! Much appreciated sir. I'm implementing these on Sunday definitely.

I love open jazz/neo voicings. thank you. MORE PLEASE.

Thanks! this video really helped me out! keep it up

Learned soo much from this channel it’s crazy

Clear and very easy to follow - brilliant. Thanks Sean.

I’m gonna try this. Thank you!

WOW! this is so helpful Sean! God bless you!

Sir I could listen to you play the whole day and still want more. Just too nice

Great video!. Very informative💯

Your break down of theory and application with examples are top notch👍💯

Been looking for this exact tutorial. Love the way you take your time and explain things in detail. Others either talk way too much, or play at breakneck speeds leaving us puzzled and more confused. Thank you!

I do quite enjoy playing my octaves.. LOL I’m used to it. I’m trying to change it up thought. I’m 3 years in. It’s a working progress.

Oo, I’m enjoying this lesson. Thank you! God bless you.

just blew my mind bro. thank you!!

Awesome content! very informative and helpful! :)

Amazing grace played by amazing pianist

Your voice is so calming! I use it to calm myself when I'm stressed and/or not practicing. Thanks for the good work!

thank you so much man God bless

Very informative brother Ty👼🏽🎹💛

Wow thank you sir... You just changed my play... God bless you

Saved to favorites list

I guess you finally mastered how to create loops now. It really adds much to your play. Great info Boss. Thanks for sharing

This is fire Thanks for this Sir

Lots of creativity in this video.

you have changed my playing.#SeanWPiano (South Africa)

When I was taught as a beginner I was taught right-hand melody and left-hand chords.

Thank you Sir. I'm delivered

The master on key 🔥🔥🔥 Thx Sean 🙏🏽

You are so correct. When we learn we all only concentrate on the right hand... Feel like you were speaking to me personally there... Lol

Very nice explaining good bro... God bless you...

I am usually the opposite, chords left hand, melody right hand, this also really helps me!!!

I'm some one who is learning how to play songs and I like music theory I've seen this done before and I didn't understand I didn't understand it in songs but thank you for explaining it, now I could go ahead and use this with the full knowledge of what I could do I learned a lot from you and just in this one video I guess I will be coming back again and again.

This so amazing Sean!!!!!Thanks!

That sounds great already 👌

Great work thanks. Can you please do a teaching on passing chords?

Que lindo essa forma de tocar ... traz alma pra música... 😭

This is RICH thanks Sir

Good lesson

This is a very good lesson

So helpful,,, God bless you professor,,,

Big man Thanks for a great tutorial

The 1-5-10 is also nice, I like to use that as well as the 1-5-9, especially in the context of the 1 and the 4 chords

I love the 3+1+2 especially. Sometimes I add an upper 5 because my hand can go that far. A slur between the 1 and the 2 makes it so interesting. Avoiding octaves on the left hand always makes the chords sound "Fuller".

I love your video 🙏😎🙏🙏

Thank you big Man

Thanks

I really need this

Yahooo. Beginner stuffs are coming? Thank very much, sir.

wow! wow!! wow!!! thanks. a good shift for me

So does the 1-7 in 'sweet' give it a touch of irony because it's longing for the 1-8? These altereds sound so good.

I chuckled when I saw this cause it's something I also came up with to replace playing octaves.... It's a beautiful voicing for the left hand

yeah no this is SMOOTH!!!!!!!!! 😭🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Sean ...this is excellento info ....YOU ...MY BOSS NOW !! This will take me to another level !! btw.....what MIDI note software you are using that shows us those screen chord names ? I would love to see visually, what the heck i am playing when adding notes like in your software ! I can manually name them but really slow !

Sean is a genius. That move at 7:44 was like peach cobbler. When I play an Fm11 chord I voice it LH 1 5 m3 RH 5 b7 9 11

In Good Will Hunting there's scene where Lambeau tells the story of Ramanujan. How with no education, he found a simple math book, and after some time with it, he began to do some of the most advance math proofs ever done. I've watched dozens of piano videos over the past decade, and I could never wrap my head around the two hand connection. So my head could only understand memorizing some right hand chords and adding two root-based octaves below it. And because of that I always just felt frustrated like doing anything worth playing would be simply too high to ever reach. Like if you can't wrap your head around standing, you may never even try to get good at crawling because standing might as well be magic. But the cheat sheet you have given in the first half of this video... it blew my mind and I can wrap my head around it. And it makes standing not seem like magic. I feel like I could keep coming back to this video at multiple stages of improvement and still have my mind opened further. Obviously I've subbed and I'll watch other videos. But that I can say that about this single video says a lot. Thank you so much for this!

U crazy 🔥🔥🔥

Nice work bro. I will like u to listen to a particular song by Cory Heney. Art of Love Album and one of the track is Naanaanaa. Pls I need a breakdown 🙏

My guy, these highly functional beginner lessons are everything. Great job to n breaking down the basics.

please i want you to do a tutorial on country music and old school gospels please

That Fmaj2 is 🤤

thankkkk youuuuu

reaching an 11th is pretty easy for me...great stuff

Sean just be beasting so calmly.

I play tenths or fiths. I also form triads and clusters if i was in a full band setting

Thanks for your great videos. Is it okay for one to have a convenient key to play on even though they can play on other keys? Hereby using transpose.

This is for me

Wow for me from 08:23 to 08:30 is heaven. I’m sure Cory will steal this 😃

I would bought the course for the info in this video -do you HAVE A COURSE 😮

Sean! Does this explain how some piano players get that bottom sound Without going down to the lower octaves and playing bass notes? I hear sometimes when musicians are playing, they have more of a full sound and they’re not mimicking their right hand nor are they playing just the bass note. I’m sure you’ve played that way before. Can you explain this theory?

I’m working on it. The coordination just isn’t there yet! Lol

Good one Sean! A question though... Which method do you recommend for a one man band like me who plays for the entire worship team and church... I prefer octaves coz they give a consistent bass note for the singer and drummer as well... Pls what do you think?

Good day sir. If that keyboard in your side is not use to you, I humbly ask it for our church because we donot have good quality keyboard in our chucrh. I am looking forwarod for you response.

goodday everyone, how can i pls be download all dis videos posted here on youtube pls..... i try all i could do ....but NO....pls i need need someone to enlighten me pls

You were doin some tasty stuff in there, doc!!! Yessir!

I feel called out

🤩🤩

Dude...u r killing me with stretching that left hand cuz my hand is short and chubby lol

I can only reach an octave. My hands are tiny, and I have stretched them to the max. An octave is my thumb and pinky at 180°. My 9th reach is sloppy and unreliable.

Is that a Yamaha MoXF behind you?

My fingers stretched to fit notes perfectly.... I shocked myself 😳

That minor triad for the left hand kinds so rich

What do you call that chord at 6:03, a SeanWilsonRaise1?

What should i learn as a beginner?

hey sean i can strech to a 11th, can u tell a good voicing plz

I can reach 9 fairly comfortable but somehow is so hard for me to reach the 10. Any hand stretch exercise tip?

The left hand is very IMPORTANT !

Isn't the chord at 8:29 an inverted dominant chord

I didn't learn about right-hand chords until 2008.

I've been playing music for 22 years, I don't think I will ever understand the second half of this video!

What if one is short handed and can't stretch as you? Not everybody can do that....

I’m here

Hand size matters?

I wish I could play Octaves in my left hand! (My hands are small)
