Hello, I love your videos!! It has helped me a lot. Would you be able to play The Greatest by Cat Power?? It’s one of my favs and I cannot find any tutorial on it 🥺

[@ayberkulgen5180]

I cannot believe how simply you explained it! I started learning basic chords, but this will DEFINITELY help me remember the rarer chords. Thanks so much for this! You’re amazing!

[@BitesizePiano]

I'm so pleased you found it helpful! 🤗

[@wilfredricarte2061]

I believe in your prowess in playing the piano can you play " there's a place for us by Frank Sinatra, oh this is a song ERRATUM.

[@wilfredricarte2061]

I don't know how we can reconcile our interpretations, do you have a more better idea that I may consider.

[@unworthyServant08]

I already knew about playing from lead sheets, but just for finding out how to create 9th, 11th and 13th chord extensions, I find this video valuable! I'm glad I watched!

[@BitesizePiano]

So pleased you found it useful :)

[@icespa2729]

Csus ? you are literally the only YT I've encountered who explained this. Thank you so much!

[@wilfredricarte2061]

I got additional knowledge of the chords, credit is given to the tutor and I love it,

[@PebzEdition]

I love you so much,thank you,you explained it so well,wheres your millions of subscribers at?

[@newyorkmyndd9801]

Yes, This is pretty much how i play now which is great and has opened up so many songs for me. I did not get this til this year (pandemic life). now i need to go back and re learn my note reading which has fallen off. Trying to balance both. Thanks for posting.

[@ElliannaTsai]

This was sooo helpful. I had NO idea how to play these, and this was so simple and easy!

[@heidithompson9363]

This was really helpful, thank you. The guitarists in my band use these sheets to play our songs, having started to teach myself through lockdown, they decided keyboards would be a great addition, so glad I found this

[@jojoaugustus1383]

You have no idea how much a love you right now. I have been looking for this since I started to play Lana del Rey mainly and other artists. They always have those F#m/A, and I was like.. wtf ??? And you are right : I only know when to play the chords, but I need to learn how to " embellish " the song with the way I play...(you have a video on that I know haha ). Because playing when it is written makes the song a bit dull sometimes Thanks again :) your channel is a bless (don't know if that's English, but you'll get what I meant) Oh and ... More Lana please :) 😘😘

[@wilfredricarte2061]

The chords and lyrics are instructural and I deem it is more eventful if given a chance to perform it.

If given a chance I can interpret it correctly and make it more eventful.

The best teacher ever! Can you please talk about how many different chords exist?

[@BitesizePiano]

There's basically an infinite amount of chords - it's better to break them up into groups!

[@luna-mq8xi]

@@BitesizePiano it would be cool a video about chords groups😍

[@BitesizePiano]

@@luna-mq8xi I have already done many like that!

[@tsmusic2000]

You are really doing an awesome job with your tutorials - thanks for that! Maybe you could explain (in a future video) how to figure out a well fitting rhythm pattern for an accompaniment? What is the best orientation point - melody rhythm, drums, guitar part? Thanks in advance.

[@BitesizePiano]

I've *sort of* done a tutorial on that, but definitely scope for another!

Wow, I wish my college piano professor had explained chords this way. You described them in a way that makes them easier to remember. I was hoping there was a trick to knowing what to do with piano tabs/guides when they don’t have a split bc I don’t know what to do with my left hand other than playing the root note or octave, or which inversion to use, but it sounds like you kind of have to have an ear for that 😅 Thank you SO much!! Truly grateful you share your teaching skills with us 🤗

Hi I love your channel! I would love to see a tutorial of the song “I still talk to jesus” by Lany

[@ramesherrabolu1590]

Thanks for posting the video. The take home messages is the chords apply to the lyric lines below them. Wondering if the example you showed is a standard representation. Is there a list of these piano chord sheets that one can buy.

[@BitesizePiano]

Of course they’re a standard representation, why would I teach otherwise?

[@ramesherrabolu1590]

@@BitesizePiano Thanks for the reply. Also I forgot to ask as to how I should use them to practice i.e. which chords would I play with Left hand and which ones I would play with my Right hand. Lastly do you have a recommendation on something that I can buy to practice.

[@boogiewoogie2010]

Writing "mj" for major chords is not very common or a standard practice. It's usually written with a capital M or "Maj". So instead of "C mj" it will be "C Maj" for C major.

[@BitesizePiano]

I’ve seen mj also used a lot and is how I was taught 👍🏻

[@erikhorvath4297]

When you mentioned jass chords and wrote down it's shorting i thought you are talking in a different language😆🤦 i mean english musical system has a way different system compare to hungarian for example😅
