This was great, I have been researching "what piano chords sound good together" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Nonason Ranincoln Genie - (do a search on google )? It is a smashing one off product for discovering how to play the piano like a pro minus the hard work. Ive heard some super things about it and my buddy got cool results with it.

Your enthusiasm and unique approach is great at renewing my faith - with hands and style catching up - remembering it all, after avoiding the 88 key approach for too many decades, keep it up! It's nice using a portable midi controller with adequate key weight and choice of 4 awesome 9 foot grands [never need tuning either] at my finger tips - feeling spoiled happy after 2 decades since the Millennium! Another keyboardist friend that was a piano tuner when we met 40 years back is still strictly 'old school' and lumbers around with his upright in tow - while I say why bother when you can simply carry the thing and load it in a car?

Hi beson b! We have a free beginner course that is great! www.pianote.com/getting-started It is four free lessons that teach you the notes, your first scales and your first chords to play songs. If you like our KZbin videos you might like it. From there you can decide whether to keep learning online (hopefully with us:) ) or get private lessons. The biggest advice I would give is to find a course with structured lessons. So you know you are going step-by-step along the right path, and not wasting time jumping around to different videos.

@Pianote Long story short - My understanding of the music theory -> If a song is written in just one key (and i suppose most of them are written this way), and it is said "This song is in C Major", that means that ALL the notes (ALL OF THEM) played in that song need to be in The C Major scale (CDEFGAB). Am i right? If it includes other notes (like for example a D#), it means the most fundamental rules are broken and the person who composed that song was lacking some knowledge. Maybe there are songs which have this kind of mistakes, but they are mistakes and it would be nicer if they wouldn't be there. This is my understanding of the music theory, as a beginner. Am i right or did i misunderstood? Now comes the question. Cubase has a "Chord track" feature which helps you create chord progressions (it suggests the next chord based on the previous one). Now, if my first chord was C Major (and my song is supposedly a C Major song), why does Cubase suggest me D Major chord as one of the best choices for the second chord in my chord progression? D Major chord contains the note F#, which is NOT in the C Major scale. Isn't that a BIG and fundamental mistake? To make the things harder still, Cubase names D minor (a chord which has all its notes in the C Major scale, and, by my understanding, should fit closely into my chord progression, next to C Major chord) an unlikely match and puts it on a distant row, far away from my Initial C Major chord, to let me know that i should not use it. Do you see my puzzle? If you can see it, that means you also see where my understand of music theory stops working. Can you, please, put me back on track and help me understand what is happening? Thanks in advance!
@PianoteOfficial4 жыл бұрын
Wow great question, thank you! Yes if a song is written in one key (which most are) then all the notes "should" be from that key. However, music is art. It is not so strict that rules cannot be broken. So if a song in the key of C has a D# it's not necessarily a mistake and the composer is not lacking knowledge. These notes that are outside the key are called "accidentals" and they can actually make the sound sound incredible! Listen to any jazz piano song and it will be full of them :) So from a basic standpoint you are correct, but as with all things the more you learn about the rules the more you learn that they can all be broken haha

So in picking out a melody of a pop song, should the chords in that key work best with it or are there other related chords I could use? I played the melody to “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” by Diana Ross and found that it was in E flat major. Some of the chords in the scale worked, but others sounded a little off. Are there other associated chords I could use or am I getting ahead of myself? (LOL ) This is just so exciting to me that I am able to play like this after years of not knowing how.

"di" in "Diatonic" does not refer to "two" but the word comes from dia- (greek for "through") and -tonic: Meaning through the tone, notes coming only from one key (in this case of C major, only white keys). You got some strong guessing skills, never thought about that perspective though :)
