    I like that you mention that moonlight sonata is written in cut time, however counting it 1, 2, 3, 4 is maybe not the best advise, and actually contradicts what you explained before, that this time signature has 2 beats. I would suggest counting 1 and 2 and instead. Or in this particular case, 1 - trip - let - and - trip - let - 2 - trip - let - and - trip - let. Aside from this, great video by you and obviously a stunning dedication to learning this instrument by Luis!

    Your comment about looking at the vertical notes for hands (RH,LH,HT) is revolutionary! I’m an adult learner, just passed Grade 1 after 9 month, hoping to pass Grade 2 in November and the step up from sight reading hands separately to hands together has been almost impossible for me. Going to try to utilise the tip vertical reading, or at least use the 30 seconds to analyse the bar notes vertically. Cheers Matt!

    We just got a piano and me and my partner are both total beginners. We’re learning using an app. But even though I’m way behind him on the app, I’m actually far better than him at this point. He’s just speed running through the app and unlocking all the songs he can. Whereas I won’t progress to the next lesson until I can 100% whatever it is I’m learning. I know this because I made the same mistake when I learned guitar as a teenager. I know that in a month or two’s time it’s gonna catch up with him and he’ll hit a wall when he tries to learn something more complicated.

    This video is both inspiring and frustrating. Inspiring because you see that some people can learn quite a lot of piano playing in such a short period. And frustrating because I am more than six years on this and can't remotely reach tthat level. So, well, I will keep trying!- Perhaps one of my "faults" is that I am playing keys on a band and so that takes also lots of my playing / learning time. You can't have it all!

    I've noticed another thing. It's one thing to play on a digital piano and playing on an acoustic piano. I just made the shift from a Kawai Digital to a Yamaha B3. The feel is quite different, or so I think. I remember Josh Wright saying if we only have a digital piano to find an acoustic piano every once in a while and practice on it.

    Nice, man! It was fun rewatching this with your comments. I laughed with you at both Moonlight Sonata 3rd Mvt attempts 😂 To answer some of your questions, indeed I learned almost all of these pieces using UA-cam tutorials, including Arabesque and Fantaisie Impromptu (Rousseau's videos). Looking back, dynamics and technique were lacking, but learning the maximum amount of pieces in the least possible time was what kept me going at the time. After uploading this video, I realised that I wanted to get more out of the piano and to do so I needed to work more on dynamics, musicality, technique, reading music and to learn some theory, so I decided to have a few private lessons for guidance. I started practicing scales and arpeggios at the beginning of each session (5-10min) and to use sheet music to learn pieces, instead of tutorials. I learned some Einaudi, Händel's Minuet in G Minor and Pathétique Sonata 2nd Mvt - I uploaded both in my channel. Once again, I only picked songs that I really enjoyed listening to, even though they were a little more advanced. I can learn pieces through sheets, but I can't sight read. It's not my main goal to be able to sight read. A little after that I decided I wanted to create my own piano arrangements / play by ear, and so far that's what I enjoyed the most. Whenever I'm stuck, I try to get a lesson for guidance. Thanks for the lesson on arranging 🤝🏼 It's all been a big experiment, but I think my main goal is to compose more original music, piano arranangements and to be able to play anything by ear. If anyone is still reading, I will upload a 4 Year Progress Video update in August / September, so stay tuned ;)

      Agree, but I also have midi devices recording my "actual play time" and 2.5 hours of "practice" gets me one REAL hour of playing, if I'm lucky? Got to take all the yelling at the sky in frustration looking at youtube videos, or staring at sheet music trying to figure out fingering etc and just flat out distractions. I still get in 2 to 3 hours on my weekends, but it has to be at least 1 good hour a day IMHO.

      People sometimes offload digital pianos second hand lightly used on eBay. If you get used to watching the listings and do your research on what you need as a base line to get started it can be possible to get something for low cost, and better than in a shop. But you might need to collect it so add in the fuel if you have a car, or paying a friend with a car. Having said that, shops also sell digital second hand too if you are patient. And some shops sell through eBay. Often these include courier service. It’s not free or perfect, but it’s a lower cost way to start if you do want to.

      @@dees3179 That's really good advice. Thank you I'll keep looking. I've been wanting to start playing for years now. A little over two years ago I bought myself a Yamaha p - 145. But unfortunately I had to sell it and leave my country because of the fighting. Years have passed and the desire to play the piano has not disappeared.

    Nice video 🙂 I've just started reading grade 2 level, and use a mixture of landmark notes with stepping or skipping up and down. Will get to reading whole words soon...I hope!

    write the 6 chord as vi not VI its a minor you know that. also calling chords numbers with this context is misleading. you could of 100% added a tag line to say 'here i have a video on how to name this correctly check it out' and BAM better and more correct information AND MORE VIEWS

      Chord 6 is a minor chord in a major key. Not every song is in a major key. So I didn’t use upper or lower case to demonstrate major or minor/dim chords for 2 reasons. Firstly I didn’t talk about the types of chords, so it would add more confusion to those wondering why some are upper or lower case. Secondly, I didn’t specify the key or tonality, so it’s unclear which chords would be major, minor or another type of triad.

    "Where as playing them as inversions sounds like this" goes on to play the chords plus the melody. You're not teaching well
