Thank you! 🙏

Hi. I'm very sorry for your problems. Are you on the teachable site because the main site I am now using is not teachable anymore, it is fresh learn. This is where you would go to sign up for the recorded class: class.chordsarekey.com/chords-are-key-for-piano-seminar For a zoom class you would go here chordsarekey.com/online If you are still having problems give me a call on my cell and I can walk you through it. Thanks for your interest in the materials.

That is great to hear!

You are so welcome!

Merry Christmas!

Amen.

I'm working on getting up to 4,000 viewing hours so I can start getting paid a little bit. I'm open to any ideas you have to help me increase viewing.

Thank you. I really appreciate that

Here you go. paul.zhdk.ch/pluginfile.php/81664/mod_page/content/3/Misty%20Leadsheet.pdf?time=1600070455430

I have a document on my materials at fresh learn with lead sheets on it but this is only visible to students who have attended my Instant Piano Class. If you are a beginner I would encourage you to attend. You can sign up at chordsarekey.com/online

Merry Christmas!

You're very welcome!

You are welcome. Let me know other songs you would like to see a tutorial of and I will try and get these done

@@chordsarekey3235 Thank you so much , that’s very kind of you ❤️

Most welcome

Thanks for the visit. I will be putting up more Simon And Garfunkel Songs soon

Welcome aboard!

it is all about music theory and intervals and scales. remember everything comes from the major scale in music theory and if you do lead piano that is based on the rhythm section of the song. So in the beginner key of C major you have only white notes on the piano and you have your C major diatonic scale of 7 notes which is C , D , E, F , G , A, B and C going up ascending. and in the beginner key of C major you have your 7 diatonic chords that are found in the beginner key of C major . The pattern for piano chords in key of C major is Major , minor minor, major major, minor and diminished. So the tonic is C major, the subtonic which is D minor, the mediant which is E minor, then your subdominant which is F major, then your dominant chord which is G major, your Aminor chord which is the submediant, then finally B diminished is your leading tone. in music theory you have two different types of modes, relative modes and parallel modes. parrallel modes share the same root note but the other notes change, the relative modes have the same type and amount of notes but they all get rearanged. so the relative modes of C major beginner key is C ionian, D dorian, E phyrgian, F lydian, G mixolydian, A aeolian and B locrian. So knowing all this here comes the main point. a C major triad piano chord is based on the C major diatonic scale. So in a normal simple C major triad piano chord you have your root note C, major third note E, and your perfect 5th note G. usually E is 4 half steps away from C and usually G is 3 half steps away from E. but if you have C major inversion chord then all of a sudden the arrangement of those intervals of notes of that chord actually change completely and the whole entire chord gets re arranged, and will therefore sound different and will look different too, and gets a new name too. these are called "chord inversions" and are used to put more color and tone in to chord progressions to make them sound more fancy for performance purposese which thicken out the sound. for example. you can take the E note of a C major chord which is the major third interval and put that E note on the bottom (to the left in other words), then put the G perfect fifth note of the C major chord to the left on the bottom in between the E major third note and the C root note. so you end with the musical notes of the piano chord being E , G and C which is an inverted C/E piano chord which is an inverted C major chord with an E in the bass. hope this helps. but before you even begin to learn about chord inversions please try to learn music theory from a professional piano teach first as it will really help you understand piano chord inversions better. then put those piano chord inversions in to a proper song so you can use what you've learnt to put it into a practical situation (like using it in the sounds of silence paul simon and art garfunkle song from the 1960's) :)

@@ryanmcdonald2027 I have learned all my scales but this hasn't helped.

An inversion is just playing the notes of the chord in a different formation with your hand. The best way I can explain it is to take a C chord in the root position (with the root note C on the bottom. Then take the C note and put it on top. This is now a 1st inversion C chord. If you then take the e note and put that on top it is now a 2nd inversion C chord. Do that again and you are back where you started.

@@chordsarekey3235 thank you. I took a screen shot of your answer to be able to refer back to. Thank you so much!

@@ryanmcdonald2027 that all sounds good, but over my head yet. I'll come back to it though. Thank you.

Thank you so much! 🙏

I would just watch my hand position and imitate that.

yeah. I joke about handing out honorary dark classes in my Instant Piano Class after explaining this HAHA

wow You are in Brazil!

He did not call it the C scale.

Sorry. I finally figured out how to film without having it sideways DUH

What an absurd first comment.
