How To Fill In Those Spots In Songs Where Nothing Is Happening

This short video on piano playing has to do with adding filler to places in songs where not much is happening, for example when a melody note is being held 3 beats or more. I can think of songs where the melody actually sustains a note for 5 beats, and if you don’t come up with something interesting to fill up that space, your listeners are probably going to start thinking about something else beside your music!

About Duane

Duane Shinn (that would be me) has good news for you if you want to play the piano. He (me) has little fat hands & stubby little fingers - not at all suited for playing the piano - more suited to making mud pies or some such. I am also fairly uncoordinated with just average musical ability - certainly not a great piano player. But I've learned a ton about music over the years and people tell me I'm pretty decent at explaining how music works & how to progress more rapidly on the piano. Over the years I have developed about 150 techniques for conquering the piano. Most professional pianists can do these techniques, but very few can explain them in a way people can understand. I specialize in making complex techniques simple. I invite you to watch a few of my free videos and see some of these for yourself before making any decision about taking any of my courses.
