Chord Progressions 101 (Piano Lesson)

[@thewordofgog]

Oh wow! So much information packed in to just 9 minutes of teaching. THIS is what the internet should be about. This video is just gold dust! Thanks so much guys, Pianote does it again

[@richard135b7]

Parallel keys. Who talks about parallel keys on their piano Channel? No one but you. Thanks. Now that I know about that concept/ theory that'll take me to the next level.

[@Stadsjaap]

This is without a doubt the clearest introduction to chords from first principles. Incredible job explaining the why in three minutes flat. Thank you thank you thank you!

[@brrtrk4875]

wow, this is awesome!!!! in 9 minutes you explained so much and in such a great and comprehensive way! Thank you!

[@SanjoyMeitei-hd4yo]

@@jorjablake its not necesary you can search for others tuturiales and free books if you are not lazy

[@anastasiac680]

Ok! Thank you, Kevin and team for this unicorn! 😍🤩There is nothing like it! I am so excited and amazed at the same time. I have searched and searched for something like it but no one has been able to explain it with such simplicity yet so comprehensively. Bravo! This is hands down the best video on cord progression and WHY and WHAT you even need them for. Filled in so many gaps for me! ❤ (me sits my coffee down, and runs to my piano, it’s time for practice!)

[@Feedyoursouldaily]

This is gold.

[@eileensauter5056]

Thank you for taking the time to explain all this. All I’ve been told is just do it this way. I understand the process better when I know how and why. I’ll keep watching and see what else you can teach me. I am 65 and practicing for many years. I’m still struggling. Thank you for sharing.

[@ramtin-iviil]

Canon progressions are literally Diamond 💎✨

[@michaelbeeministries2020]

Thank you Kevin! That really helps! It reminds me of a horizontal circle of fifths, but much easier to understand. Thank you again! 🌞👍

[@gabelyu8261]

Borrowed chords (mixing C and Cm) are the king! 👑

[@martellmoore3387]

my name is martell, i have got to tell you i have been trying to play the keyboards for over 50 years to no avail. You are the very best.

[@paulholden1153]

Keven you ROCK! Thank you bro.

[@joeharmon4352]

Thank you, Kevin. I always learn from your videos - you are a great teacher!

[@bluzedogg]

This is brilliant and I've never heard it said better. I'm ordering my keyboard today. For a songwriter who is not a keyboard player, we only have to learn this in the key of C and we can transpose it for other keys. That's amazing.

[@polymathkim]

Been having a trouble with chord progressions, so i just play it by ear. But this is soooo helpful! It would help me become more versatile with chords and accompaniment, which i desperately need for creating songs

[@dakayaerus]

Wow, just grasp slash chords! Thank you!!

[@gideonhtoo456]

thank you ! Teacher ,this is the easy and best way to learn Keyboard . thank you very much.

[@danielgallardo7249]

Even as an electric guitar and bass player, I found this review on chord progression very useful! Thanks for the great succinct video.

[@CollegeHustler]

Great explanation quick and simple

[@ghost_cipher]

Your explanations are wonderful! Thank you!

[@akelanumata4650]

Amazing concepts. Thank you .

[@jamesrose2976]

Wow. Your explanations are sublime. Thank you! The balance between contemporary and classic (al) harmony is really nicely handled.

[@RubinGaming1]

This Video is pure Gold. THANK YOU❤

[@Donnycr]

Fantastic explanation, thanks Kevin

[@RCPGMoshi]

Very nice! I learned to play organ. Still play it. Sometimes, I play piano, but I'm not a pianist. Very good information there. I play in a church and many times, I have to put my own chords, because some music sheets just have the melodie, and knowing this is very useful. Great video! 👍

[@adrianwilliams763]

Wow. Did that open the door to beautiful music.🎉

[@manasshukla2664]

Thank you this was really helpful

[@Kasunm3]

Most valuable piano lesson ever ❤ Thanks Kevin

[@anastasiac680]

Pianote, you could create a whole 30-day corse based on this video. Lotsa theory and application. It would help so many new piano players. Fingers crossed🤞

[@happybakergirl1292]

Yes, it would also help wanna-bes-that-don’t-know-how like me. Thanks. 😂

[@RajithaRajan]

Awesome! Loved it! 👌👌

[@cbvoicenotes267]

Thanks soo much for this vid my guy! All kinds of unique cords and progressions to play with for sure!!👍💯👌

[@isaacshaw1596]

The theory is not quite truthful, very simplistic but I get the point. I mean just to prove my point, Eb major and C minor are not the same key. To be clear, they have the same key signature but aren’t the same key. The chords if you use the natural minor are the same but really you should use the harmonic minor because you are dealing with harmony which gives minor keys the different feel and sound that pop songs often fail to produce because they use the natural minor.

[@PianoteOfficial]

While Cm and Eb are not the same key, the point of parallel chords is to achieve a sound that moves out of C major. Kevin simply explains if the minor diatonic formula is hard for beginners to learn they can achieve the same chords by thinking of Eb major. In this example it would not make sense to use the chords from C Harmonic Minor since the V - G major is already present in the key of C.

[@MooreMusic12]

Wow thanks ❤😊

[@proezzy6591]

Thank u so much

Amazing lesson 💖

Thank you!

[@JerickOrbeta]

I love that keyboard😍

[@Vodhin]

You know you got a good chord progression when the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.

[@josephjester4917]

You know you have a bad chord progression when it sounds like all of the songs over the past 50 years.

[@shREDhead44]

Vi - I - ii - Vi is fun to improv over, with like a IV - V - I resolution

[@isaacjohnofficial]

Thanks for this

[@davidbalan6571]

The ' 135 rule' is that basic minor, major, diminished, and Augmented , chords must be created using a root 3rd , and 5th.

[@16bidouille]

excellent,excellent,excellent from FR

[@gobisunthar4725]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Kamanya]

I've never understood this being a very novice, by ear, guitar player. On the odd occasion I have jumped on the piano, I can follow the melody easily but always battle with the chords. I have a good ear but the theory to support my messing around was always a mystery. Many thanks!

[@mohxeroameste721]

This is my first time leaving a comment on KZbin because the video is totally of value to Me. I love you sir 😂

[@EarTrainingMastery]

Wonderful lesson. What application did you use to highlight the key pressed, please?

[@ikreate4u]

I hear the melody I want in my head and play until I find it on the keyboard and wished all of this made sense for me but it is like another language. Somehow my fingers know where to go but when I try to name it as progressions if makes my mind fizzle in confusion. I will keep trying though. Thank you

[@hqiu6828]

[@DelasVC]

I still struggle to understand how switching up scales works when writing chord progressions. Do you have any videos on that topic on this channel (I already searched but didn't find anything, otherwise I wouldn't ask :D)? So what I mean is (and maybe this is incorrect, cause I'm not an advanced musician at all) that say I'm writing a song. That song has a bassline and it's playing in a certain key. Now I'm trying to find interesting chord progressions. How can I find interesting progressions that don't necessarily stick to the scale the song is written in but still match? Is that even possible? It seems like it when I look at reference songs that I like. I mean, you do it in the video to by going from Cmaj to Cmin. How would that fit to a bassline (or also a melody for example) that is written in Cmaj? Any help would be much appreciated :)

[@Fatso-mL]

Hi, can you also do in f#

[@anonymike8280]

2:50 Yes, it needs more sad.

[@ilfantasticobananajothesci3922]

"alrite there it is" =) easy

[@PassiveSmoking]

What are diminished chords?

[@Ruben_Van_Haute]

It's a minor chord with a lowered 5th. For C you have: Major C E G Minor C Eb G Diminished C Eb GB The 7th diatonic chord in the major scale and the second in the minor are diminished chords. And to be complete, there is also an augmented chord which is the major with a raised 5th: C E G# But you will not find this as a diatonic chord in the major or regular minor scale.

[@marthaamuriat]

I would love to be a professional pianist but I have failed to learn how to play melodies.

[@mpritchard]

This is one of those videos, where I think "This is going to make a lot of sense and be important, but I'm just not there yet." Time to stop watching videos and get back on the piano bench.

[@kontemplatemusic2189]

Geez! Dude, you just revolted the whole pop music industry. 99 per cent of pop singers now wonder if you weren't racist by saying "diminished" the remaining 1 per cent pretends that they know what you're talking about. You're lucky that you didn't mention augmented chords. They would have reported you for crypto advertising viagra.

[@TheFantasticlub]

slash is bad explained, how do you form that? no clear

[@Amatteus]

You made a mistake.. You said C, F and G are the most important chords in any key .. And this is not true.. I, IV, and V are the most important chords. Some keys like G do not even have F . its a F#

[@area51junkyard]

im confused

[@dabongz7691]

Keyboard is extremely hard to learn

[@user-ms2th4fv8u]

[@tooru9387]

Just play songs you like I’m no expert keyboardist I just play a lot when I’m feeling down and I don’t even play properly I just watch song tutorials and learn by ear
