If you’re a beginner and enjoyed this video, consider purchasing access to his online courses. The way he breaks down chords, technique, ear training, analyzing repertoire, etc. to the very basics has unlocked so many doors for me personally. Being able to communicate with other musicians in a more intellectual way has always eluded me, until now. Granted I am 36 (still consider myself a piano beginner), and was involved with music thru much of my schooling, I never really... got it. Warren helped me understand what to work on and how to build a solid foundation. I am forever grateful as understanding the language of music speaks to my very soul and makes me feel things I could not feel without. Much love, and many thanks, Warren 👊🏻💥

[@PianoLessonwithWarren]

Thank you for the shoutout, and I’m thrilled to hear of the progress you’ve made with my program 😊🙏🏾

[@333ministries]

Warren, you are a great teacher. Most videos either have someone just spewing much information w/o definitive explanation, and others seem like they are just trying to show how much they know. You and possibly two others are the real deal when it comes to teaching. Thank you.

[@PianoLessonwithWarren]

Thanks brother, really appreciate you 😊👍🏽

STEP 1: ARRANGE NOTES ALPHABETICALLY 5:25 STEP 1b: ARRANGE IN STACKED 3rds 5:55 *STEP 2: FIND THE 3 NOTES THAT FORM THE CORE TRIAD 7:25 *note: hello the difference, b/w *add 9s* (as well as add 11, add 13), and *maj9s* is ....... MAJOR 9 chords (maj9) have the major 7th as well -- for example C (root) E(maj3) G(P5) B(maj7) aaaand D(maj9) This creates a *C major 9th chord* (Cmaj9) because it contains the B note aka the 7th note in the C major scale. [for a Cadd9, just remove the B note-leave out the 7th, so it would be => notes C, B, G, D, aka scall degrees 1, 3, 5, 9. STEP 4: IS THERE A MAJ 7? STEP 5: IS THERE A MAJ 9? 16:40

[@marcot7216]

my piano teacher suggested your channel to me and now I'm thankful he did because your videos are really helpful, thanks Warren

[@patriciaswain2473]

This lesson is exactly what I needed! I struggle with naming the chord. Putting them in alphabetical order along with stacking 3rds is a real eye opener for me. Thank you so much Warren for continuing to listen to our comments and make tutorials accordingly! ❤️

[@PianoTutorialsWithChrisEbute]

Wow you did a great job in this video. The topic is well explained. Thanks for lavishing us with great contents

[@CygnusRoc]

Your videos explain things in great detail, thank you.

[@LeatherKeys]

Hey Warren,, @21:38, for the 1st step, when we arrange the notes in Alphabetical order shouldn’t the ‘A’ be on the bottom because A comes before C? I got a bit confused there?

[@PianoLessonwithWarren]

It doesn’t really matter where the A is, because you’ll then arrange in stacked 3rds, that’s where things get more clear. Arranging in stacked thirds takes president over the alphabetical order.

[@LeatherKeys]

[@pianohamba216]

God bless you for all

[@tammyrobinson6409]

Thank you for sharing this video. I will be applying this information to my next practice session. I’ve learned from other piano teachers and from piano books that the left hand determines the chord name. Is this a valid fact? Perhaps I’m missing some parts. Thank you

[@PianoLessonwithWarren]

Yes, because the left hand often is carrying the root of the chord, which is critical for naming the chord.

[@tammyrobinson6409]

Thank you Warren… you’re the best

[@sancobagama3890]

Thank you Warren sir you are always dropping piano gems. I however found it difficult to arrange the notes in alphabetical order due to enharmonic equivalence, for example what I call an Ab may still be called a G#

[@PianoLessonwithWarren]

This is where stacked 3rds makes a difference.

[@eugeniapledger746]

Wow ....Thank for breaking that down!

[@gbengabalogun4604]

God bless you so much for this sir. Have been looking for this particular lesson(Naming chords) for a long time 😭😭😭, am glad you're my teacher, all the way from Nigeria

[@officialojplays101]

Sir Warren Thank you for all your lectures you're an amazing Inspiration. I have a Quick Question though, the second example "D minor 7", when you decided to walk us through the naming process, I paused the video and I decided to try it out on my own though I only arranged it alphabetically. I know it's soon but I'm actually familiar with some chords and I needed more information sir. I came up with the First Inversion of F6 Chord before I played the video and you named it sir as D minor 7. My question sir is, "is my naming generally Correct or acceptable?"

[@PianoLessonwithWarren]

You haven’t really explain your naming process, but if you got to the same result, then I’d say it’s correct

[@officialojplays101]

Yes sir Before I arranged it alphabetically, I got F6 but when you arranged it sir, it gave D Minor 7. Soo I was a Bit Skeptical about my Naming Process. Because the chords seemed straightforward to me. Like it was F6 before it turned to D Minor 7 Sir.

[@missakamadhuwantha3512]

Thank you

[@evertondunbar8136]

What's up bro, good job as usual, keep it up.

[@lpa9974]

Thank you for your video. Question please: At mark 17:50-how are those notes in alphabetical order (ABCDEFG)?

[@PianoLessonwithWarren]

Stacked thirds take President as arranging in alphabetical order isn’t enough to tell the chord.

[@jfpary7336]

Very interesting.

[@paulcarestia3181]

I thought this was a really good lecture. Thank you very much. So I sat down to my pedal steel and there's a chord I play that I wanted to figure out what it was. It has the notes A G C D. So I rearranged the notes alphabetically G A C D. There is only one stacked third I can see no matter how I arrange these notes, and that's between A and C. So, how would I name this chord?

[@PianoLessonwithWarren]

ACGD =Am11. The only thing missing is the 5th of the chord “E.” Bu it has all the crucial notes - root, third, and seven.

[@paulcarestia3181]

@@PianoLessonwithWarren Unlike the piano, pedal steel is an instrument where often times one can only play some of the notes of the chord. These notes I mentioned were for a chord where the song was in the key of F and it turned out that the bass player was playing the F note. So now the chord became F A C G D, and now it's a Fmaj9add13. This has often times tripped me up. But thank you for the 7 Steps. That was extremely helpful to me!

Warren, please how did you get your back drop

[@kenmccarthy9037]

Excellent! For the first time, I understand this topic well enough to finally be able to do it. I tested it out by hitting some random "crazy" chord on the piano and then running them through your process. I don't know if I'm naming them perfectly, but I'm naming them well enough to be able to reproduce them in all twelve keys. I guess a chord symbol is like a chemistry formula. Anyway this is what I discovered: C Dim sus2 D# Dim 7 minor and C Dim 9 (for some reason I kept coming up with diminished triads. Thanks!

[@PianoLessonwithWarren]

Awesome 😎

[@starlighttone3545]

Interesting ! Thank you

[@danepaulstewart8464]

Master Warren… yup. That’s a good name. I absolutely LOVE your music instruction and I don’t even play piano, I play guitar. The guitar fretboard is a very different environment from the linear piano keyboard, and YOUR lessons inspire me to get more out of the guitar fretboard and it’s limiting shapes and familiarity traps. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@Saghaley]

What is the difference between the chords C9, Cmaj9, and Cadd9? I've looked at websites and they conflict with the information in this video. You say all an add9 chord is doing is adding the 9th scale degree, but I've found websites that say Cmaj9 and Cadd9 are the same. also, C9 is different for some reason? it has a minor 7th-scale degree. also, why do any of them have a 7th scale degree when it says 9?

Hey Bro. Warren good lesson. Isn't Hot in the Jamaica (where you're originally from)? Or is it you've been up North for so long you gotta get use to Hot weather again.🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞

[@PianoLessonwithWarren]

Well yes, Jamaica gets hot, but not so humid like Florida, plus we have the ocean breeze. Also I’ve gotten “nothernized” living in the cold too long 😂😂

[@helenteoct]

Hi Warren, so add9 = sus2?

[@PianoLessonwithWarren]

No, Sus2 doesn’t have a 3rd but add9 does. Example CDG=Csus2, and “CDEG”=Cadd9

[@lpa9974]

Do you mean alphabetical order in each octave? (21:28) -Thank you.

[@PianoLessonwithWarren]

No, you start with the first note and go all the way up excluding any duplicate notes.

[@Jinx504]

25:14 it needs a B to actually be F#min13

[@GraceAleilo-kj4op]

Dose it mean all primary chords and major chords and all secondary chords are minor chords?

[@michaelvarney.]

Cool. Now it would be fun to see a video where all the other chords are named in a grouping of notes assuming each note is the root. C E G is C E G C is Em b6 G C E is G6 sus4 Yes these are inversions, but a quick way of naming these would be fun to learn, especially extensions etc.

I know some advanced players who can hear chords, but to name complicated chords they can't
