What you’ll learn

- Improve your groove on the keys

While guitarists learn strumming patterns from the earliest stages of their learning, piano players are often not taught how to “groove” until much later in their musical journey. It’s my hope that these courses on Funky Piano Rhythms help pianists catch up rhythmically so that they can jam confidently.
The first course in this series was focused on learning lots of rhythms and ingraining the patterns. This course is meant to detail rhythms so that the student has plenty of stylistic options.
Whether you are hoping to improve your ability to jam with others, improve the groove in your music productions, or play fancier rhythms while you sing, this course has something for everybody.
The rhythms taught are of course meant to sound funky, but that doesn’t mean you can’t play these rhythms outside of a funk song. These rhythms also work well within hip-hop, RnB, soul, neo soul, latin, chiptune synth, and plenty of other styles.
In this course we will touch upon the following subjects:
Hinging
Grace notes
Chord stabs
b3 & b7
Quartal Harmony
Velocity Sensitivity
Left Hand Movement
Organ Grinds
Chord Voicing Alternation
Adding a Melody
Blues Licks
So you know what inspired this course and what’s covered within it. Now is your time to decide if this course feels right for you. Remember, if you decide to jump in, make sure you set time aside to practice. Understanding how these rhythms/details work is far less beneficial than working up the muscle memory for these patterns so that you can play them with ease.
Remember, the goal is to have fun, get funky, and learn something new. I hope to see you in the first class!
Who this course is for:
- Intermediate pianists/keyboardists
- Music producers looking to add humanized groove to their productions
- Keyboardists in bands looking to improve their ability to jam
