Excellent explanation. I like how you go through the different kinds of slash cords. I'm saving this for future reference. Thank-you.

Keep continuing post new videos you r great teacher. ❤❤❤❤❤ respect

I have a performance day color is tomorrow

Priceless information! I thought I understood about slash chords but it turns out, I didn't! Thank you so much.

Very informative. I've seen a lot of this type of "slash chord" notation in fake books and always wondered about the theory behind it. Thx 🙏🏽

Thank you very much for playing and video recording this. It's one of my favorite songs of all time.

Thanks so much 🙏 an awesome 🎉 lesson worth years of lectures. Can't wait for more. 😊

Thank You xx

I think it's confusing for beginners. Better stick to the quint circle and harmony nomenclature...

Will you be discussing voicings?

Very instructive and helpful. Thank you! You explained slash chords clearly & thoroughly for a relatively new(but old) piano self-learner.

So beautiful

This is transposed right?

Great lesson. Perhaps you can create a class explaining 7ths vs 9ths

I thought that slash chords had a different meaning. The letter to the left signifies the chord regardless of the inversion and the right letter signifies the bass note.

Thank you. I never knew that some kind of music use more or less slash chords. Thanks

I did know about slash chords...but the second part of your video is making voicing more clear ...

Great ! Thnxxx👍👍👍

Naming each keynote or chords by LETTERS 🔤🔠🔤🔠 is very helpful in every lesson,!! Counting is important too!!

Thank you! This is a good lesson. I am wondering if you might be adding a fifth book to your Upper Hands series. It would be an added incentive to continue learning new information from you. I've found your instruction most helpful.

Hi I Saw your video On slash Chords the second. I Saw the first. But it’s a bit much at the moment so I am going to practice more and try to understand. I am still trying with Book 1 chords. Come to Think of it chords are hard to play and I have encountered the slash chords in my fake book. Now I understand what thye are and Will try to work on Them slowly. Thanks so much. Love Playing the piano especially wren I am Down or udset or stressed. Shar

This piece is nice but I think gets shadowed by Traumerei

Your videos are too short

Does this mean that "slash chord" means to use a particular inversion of the chord?

Thank you. Demo clarifies it more

Figured out the C/E chord. While a bit daunting, Slow practice Will help. I am still practicing the regular chord anyway. Thanks for explaining.

Figurer out the c/E chord and leasing it at that for now. A bit daunting but practice and slog tales it. Interessant Way though. Thanks.

Thank You. I have been playing slash chords for a few years, however sometimes I see a more complex chord and go into panic mode , it is then that I take it very slow

yes I'm continuing with lessons, yes I would like to see more demonstrations in BOOK 2

This is definitely a much-needed approach among the swarm of online and other methods -- I would definitely encourage you to provide ongoing demos and guidance for those who wish to continue to develop from the excellent foundation you have provided.

👍🙏

Lovely. I definitely want you to keep doing the video demonstrations . I use them to learn the way to try and play the tunes you are teaching. I even try and follow along but this is harder. Are you leaving permanently or just talking about the end of book 1? I couldn’t quite tell. Can I connect without 60 and me? Thanks again. Love learning with you

luckily stumbled on the blog (subscribed) and loving the jazz arrangements. Do you have a book of your cocktail jazz arrangements i can purchase?

The link in the description doesn't work 😢 what is the chord progression?

You spoke about fake chords, reminding me that 7, or maybe 8 years ago, you asked did I know what a fake chord was. I had no clue. Since then I have bought, or borrowed from a library. sheet music books with fake chords. Thanks for your help. Len (from Ontario Canada)

So helpful thank you !

Hi Gaili, I am really enjoying and learning From UHP Book 1. I recently saw a video where you talked about Fake Books. I am using the one you talked about . First Fake Book is lovely and while I have been playing quite a few of the pieces, since doing UHPbook 1, I am trying to incorporate the chords but of course, I don’t know all the chords. You mentioned that you try to keep 3 note chords. How would I choose which 3 to use. Pg 26, Bye Bye Love has a 4 chord G7 so which letter in that chord could I leave out. ?? I have to constantly be counting as if not, I go too fast. I find this challenging.On page 5, Ain’t misbehaving, there is a C# dim. Which I looked up but not sure which are the correct notes. ?? I seem to have 2 versions. The other one I love is pg 10- Alley cat song.Timing is difficult for me and so I am still plugging my way though Book 1. I don’t not to rush to Book 2 yet. I am really enjoying playing the pieces in Your Book 1 but have trouble sometimes. Practice is essential. I am thinking of going to some lessons here because I find it hard to follow with you as I don’t know how to put my iPad so that I can play and listen to you. There is no space near the piano.. I have a detachable keyboard so maybe I can remove it nd put the monitor on the piano where the book goes but not sure how this ill work either. Sound confused don’t I?? Anyway a work in progress.

Thank You

What a jolly lovely melody👏☺

Very interesting and useful. Thank you for kindly shearing this.

This Chopin piece is eternal, bravo!!!

In any Debussy piece it seems they are ten compositions talking between them!!! 👏👏

Bravo, it sounds wonderfully!!!! 👏👏👏👏

Thank very much for this second part of Moonlight Sonata in E minor, very useful!!!

A very good idea to transpose Moonlight Sonata to E minor, it is much easier!!!

So informative and very interesting! This makes sense for sure. Thank you for so eloquently sharing this information with us.

Спасибо! У Вас получается.....

I love you, thanks for your work!

Killing changes and movement - thank you

fourth time watching this sounds so beautiful
