[@igortakesabride1139]

Hey there! I really need your help! I just recently (because of your video) learned about major scales having relative minor scales and vice versa and why and how they function. I'm having trouble applying it, though. Could you PLEASE rescue me by examining and explaining what the heck is going on with KT Tunstall's sone 'The Universe & I"? I'm trying to create a bridge as in that song, but I'm confused as to what's occurring with the harmony and how she's implementing the Bminor scale in the bridge after the main song uses DMajor. Something about the structure of the song completely baffles me as to how to transfer this structural harmonic idea in my OWN creation. My sing is also in the key of DMajor, but whenever I try to make a bridge section starting with Bminor, it doesn't gel. Any clue why or what I can do?!

[@keithedester474]

Just doodling around with this chord progression is hauntingly beautiful.

[@grassrootspiano]

I am so thankful that there are talented creators, educators, and musicians like you on KZbin as it’s not as common, You calmly explain things, and don’t offer any gimmicks and show the true path to musicianship! Bravo🎉

[@PianoFromScratch]

Appreciate it, thanks! And folks reading this, be sure to check out this channel too 👆

[@yudipitre5720]

I love this teacher. He definitely knows how to teach and make his lessons understanding and clear. Thank you

[@edgrigsby8610]

You DEFINITELY have the gift of teaching. It just clicked with me how key signatures relate to chords. Thank you so much!!

[@PianoFromScratch]

Awesome! Thank you so much!

[@williambligh6622]

Grade 4 as a kid and then nothing for 40 years. Coming back to it using my Yamaha Mox 8 and just landed on your channel. Love your content and presentation. No heirs or graces, just solid useful information. Practicing this chord progression and some inversions now. Thanks so much……..subscriber here.

[@stephenbender7593]

I've been playing chords for a while, but I was stuck just paying the cheat sheets. Thanks for this tutorial. Subscribed.

[@pianohands2]

Oh my…. I’ve been watching piano videos for a long time….you have done a FABULOUS job of simplifying and explaining improv.

[@PianoFromScratch]

Ah thanks!

[@3llaGotDaSauce]

A video on grace grace notes will be very helpful, we need it as well

[@iainmackenzieUK]

seriously helpful. This gives me at least 3 months of work ahead :) Will be checking out your other stuff too Many thanks

[@diannerayner2099]

This was one of the most helpful tutorials ever! thank you so much

[@PianoFromScratch]

Great, hopefully there will be more to come!

[@maylam988]

Thank you so much ! This video answers exactly those long standing questions on my mind. Rarely do other teachers shares magic and knowledge to this extent and you’ve explained it so clearly as always. The message I get here is knowing the chords, scales and progressions, be creative with improvisations using multitudes of combinations. There’s so much to learn and all your videos help so much.

[@PianoFromScratch]

Really glad the channel is helping!

[@richardmugwa4206]

esxatly where I was at, I can play chords easily from chordfy but I wanted to sound real, this helps

[@shastabob56]

One of the best keyboard tutorials I have ever seen. Thanks!

[@PianoFromScratch]

Thanks, hopefully it helps a few things make more sense

[@gangwu4541]

Thank you.

[@stevenclarke2655]

Yes, please, to a video on grace notes. This video was great! I'm self-teaching and am at a point where I am comfortable with a fair number of chords and changing between them, but now need to know what to do with the chords besides just repeating them until the next change. The info here is exactly what I need to move on, with ideas simple enough to get started with, and then moving on to more complicated material that will keep me busy for quite a while if I explore it deeply enough. Thanks! (Going over now to join your Patreon.)

[@PianoFromScratch]

Thanks, pleased to hear it was helpful. Remember, it was just one example, it can sound a million other ways with different rhythms and chords etc but hopefully that approach is a useful starting point. Oh great, I will say hello over there!

[@bettyennin6335]

Thank you again

[@annapayne214]

Yes! More please !!!

[@ramsub3179]

wow, just wow👏👏👏this is what ive been looking for. ive seen a lot of videos but this tops them all.

[@ricardocadilha5804]

This is it. The video I was looking for and didn't know.

[@riotvan000]

'Cause I give you all of me And you give me all of you, oh-oh

[@PianoFromScratch]

Ha yes good spot, same chord, it's fairly common. Although my inspiration tbh was an old Cat Empire song.

[@patsmusicnstuff1026]

What an extremely helpful lesson! Thank you!

[@PianoFromScratch]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@angelabuckley5584]

I’m curious that you don’t appear to mention your own name, unless I’ve missed it?! I really like your style of teaching, and as an older beginner, I am becoming more confident and enthusiastic! Thank you! 😊

[@ezyngho3798]

Am new to piano and have bought a keyboard. Am learning the black and white keys and C-scale. Am closely following you but yet to understand what you are doing here but hope to get there some day like you said building up on vocabulary I'll try.

[@Gareth.W]

Great video for a newbie like me... although I've now got a Coldplay song in my head after watching this 😁

[@PianoFromScratch]

Oh sorry, I wouldn’t wish Coldplay upon anyone 😂

[@coloaten6682]

@@PianoFromScratch Me either!! 🤣

[@karenanderson4870]

Oh yes, this was exceptionally helpful! Thank you. So clearly explained and demonstrated. This is perfect for where I am at currently and will definitely take my playing a step further. Will watch this again and put your ideas into practise.

[@PianoFromScratch]

Glad it was helpful!

[@qldsafari]

This is great, thank you! Yep would love some ideas & tips on using grace notes, cheers🙂

[@PianoFromScratch]

Noted!

[@CAVIGHI-ny1hm]

Great! Congrats! Waiting to watch more videos like this great one!

[@PianoFromScratch]

More to come!

[@ravetv6085]

Thanks, this is exactly what I want to learn for a long time.❤

[@PianoFromScratch]

Great!

[@ilovemyjob9108]

This is like a conclusion from all videos tutorial that I watched, thank you ❤

[@SimplyTresha]

Truly thank you for this! I am taking lessons, but this video cleared up so much for me!

[@mellyju]

Thank you, just found your channel, and I really like it.

[@tmarty4269]

If someone knows how to chord around a little bit, imo this may be the ultimate newbie video

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

Merci for your videos.

[@PianoFromScratch]

De rien

[@3llaGotDaSauce]

Thanks a lot, you're the best teacher among all💪🏿

[@Annalenalovemusic]

[@lombahond]

Danke!

[@PianoFromScratch]

Thank you!

[@mirandapasquini673]

thank you for teaching us how to the magic works! i have plenty to work on here.

[@PianoFromScratch]

Good luck!

[@pixelfrenzy]

Very useful, and catering for a range of beginner-level abilities - thanks. I started playing with Simply Piano about 5 weeks ago and I realised watching this that I'm already learning something almost identical with 1-5 on the left hand and the major or minor triads on the right, broken up in to 1 / 3-5 and 1 / 2-5 patterns. So your video has given me some things to try out later when I get a bit better.

[@ThatMakesSenseToMe]

Oh hey this is awesome. Thank you!

[@prithacaroline2837]

Super tutorial

[@PianoFromScratch]

Thanks, hope it was useful

[@nelsoncolereis4058]

Great video and exercise, thanks! A grace note video would definitely be helpful. :)

[@PianoFromScratch]

Thanks, I think It will do that then

[@suzannelibrownrigg8241]

Thank you. It's very helpful.

[@fishmut]

Wow , thank you so much for this awesome video , I’m a newbie to piano I play simple tab covers but really hopeless playing chords , this is going to help me immensely to progress, your teaching here is so much appreciated more than you know . Liked and subscribed. 🙏

[@denysemarie4334]

I'd like to see a lesson on grace notes.

[@1jadeitejade]

[@bettyennin6335]

Thank you for always finding ways to help

[@alejandrosierra9077]

Thank you for the tutorial, it's really helpful. It'd be greatest to have another one on grace notes

[@PianoFromScratch]

Great to hear, sure think I will do that soon!

[@elainahuyett6531]

I’d love to see a video on grace notes, also. Thanks

[@deberahward1925]

Super helpful, wow!!! Thank you!

[@patfoss8983]

Thanks, enjoyed that video.

[@PianoFromScratch]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@F.O.H.]

yellow is a little difficult to diferencate against the white keys. Just a thought.

[@PianoFromScratch]

Ok thanks for the feedback. I have thought about the kind of blue I use but wondered if it may be too dark on the black keys. I think you may be the first to mention this to me tbh but I will bear it in mind and see if more people seem to agree 👍

[@user-bj1eq8ie3q]

Hello Corey Lennox your You Tube Video are amazing. I would like to be a Patreon and I will support your channel monthly. I am looking forward to learning all I can and one day be able to play and know by piano well. Thank you and I am looking forward to downloading your materials. 🙏

[@DrQuickNick]

THANK YOU!

[@Chatosvideos]

Wow! I love this using chords and breaking notes with it. Right with it a music composition plays in your head. I like to see a song in mind that applies to the chords you have introduced. How do you put your chords into a song.

[@hgdrn]

Great vid, thanks.

[@PianoFromScratch]

👍

[@stuntdouble777]

Awesome lesson

[@PianoFromScratch]

Thanks, hopefully it explained a few things for you

[@6foot7dad]

Brilliant! 👍

[@PianoFromScratch]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@marcomarco2482]

❤❤❤

[@unkolawdio]

Goodmorning

[@chequemiel]

wao great

[@slamdunk99639]

Grace notes, yes please.

[@PianoFromScratch]

Noted, I think I will soon!

[@theresamills166]

Would like to add a little soul!

[@MarioEZugasti]

So i made of list of the chord progressions to practice but what stumps me is the patterns. I cant figure out how to arrange them to get a good sounding flow.

[@PianoFromScratch]

Each time will different depending on the song, rhythm, chords etc as well as what you like. Takes some trial and error really, go slow at first to find something that sounds good to you. Maybe just do a couple of variations to start with, don’t try too much or that’s when you’re most likely to go off course. Like I mentioned in the vid too, takes experience and best thing is to build up a vocabulary of things to try by learning other songs/copying other players etc and through that you will start to develop your ear for it too. Good luck and stick with it! 👍

[@ernestrodriguezjr.1677]

Grace notes

[@blackboxcomics5966]

14:15 📍

[@alowl450]

There are good reasons to call the progression, i - VI - III - VII

[@beverlyhale9687]

A little too fast and advanced for me right now,so I saved video to watch later

[@MagnifyYaweh]

Man I’ve even looking for this video for the longest! I hated playing blocky chords, it didn’t sound interesting

[@jguild45]

Beginner lesson?

[@tere9438]

For chord, yes. For aural, intermediate

[@josiynn125]

please give one of your keyboard if you dont need

[@PianoFromScratch]

It’s not a spare one, sorry!

[@WareBare]

I like your delivery but this really isn’t a beginner lesson at all. As it says in the description I’m not being mean. just honest In no way is this a beginner lesson. Thanks

[@obcmissions]

The piano sound is terrible. Very difficult to listen to.

[@PianoFromScratch]

It's a Kawai keyboard recorded direct in to my computer. Sounds like a keyboard to me, of course not as nice as a real piano but a real acoustic just isn't practical in my situation unfortunately. Do you think a VST would be better?

[@karenhardy6629]

Țhen don’t listen. If you’re watching this to learn, why then would you comment about the piano sound? Your comment, quite frankly, is mean and tacky. Really ? Just like he just said, “It’s harder to do than it sounds”. 16:55

[@andybyrne3754]

It sounds nice to me!

[@pixelfrenzy]

Sounds fine on my laptop speakers.
