Thanks for the most logical instructions with chords on the piano. I learnt to play chords on a guitar more years ago than I would like to say, and could just pick up a guitar and play them without thinking, but recently purchased the Yamaha P515, and for the life of me, just couldn`t remember how to play the chords. I guess muscle memory came without much effort before. But watching this has given me more inspiration to press on, and have another bash. (not literally).

If any of you had trouble understanding this video or missed a tiny detail, feel free to look through my notes, it should contain everything included in the video; with some additional things I wrote down. Notes: White - 7 (Letters of the Alphabet: C,D,E,F,G,A,B) Black - 5 = 12 Notes Sharp, Natural and Flat Symbols: # (♯) = Sharp ♮ = Natural b (♭) = Flat C Group: C,D,E F Group: F,G,A,B Each Black Note Has Two Names. 1. Sharp = Above (eg. Black Note to right of C is C Sharp) 2. Flat = Below (eg. Black note to left of D is D Flat) Intervals are two notes, or the distance between to notes. Order of Intervals by Wideness: minor 2nd - 2 Notes Inside. (eg. C+C#) Major 2nd - 2 Notes Inside. (eg. C+D) minor 3rd - 3 Notes Inside. (eg. C+D#) Major 3rd - 3 Notes Inside. (eg. C+E) Chords (or Triad) = 3 (or more) notes. Major Chord = Major 3rd + minor 3rd (eg. C+E+G = C Major) minor Chord = minor 3rd + Major 3rd (eg. C+D#+G= C Minor) Examples: F# Major Triad = F#+A#+C# A Major Chord = A+C#+E A Major Chord = A+C+E 3 Inversions of C Major Chord: C+E+G, E+G+C, G+C+E A chord progression is a group of chords. Example of Chord Progression: C, G, Am*, F *m = Minor Play Chords in Different Inversions for Smoother Sound. This is called Voice Leading. C Major G Major A minor F Major C ➘ G ➙ A F E ➘ B ➙ C ➚ A G D ➙ E ➚ C Underlined/Circled = Notes that are common with the next chord. (eg. C Major has a G, and G Major also has a G.) Figure out chords, draw out letters, circle common letters, draw arrows pointing. Rhythm is essentially the timing of all the notes that we have to play in a piece or scale. Rhythm Pattern: C G Am F 1,2,3,4 | 1,2,3,4 | 1,2,3,4 | 1,2,3,4 (Play chords in this rhythm while you hold down the root note of said chord.)

[@hugofoltin5647]

what does "draw arrows pointing" mean, I dont understand the arrows, according to what do I draw the arrow from where to where ?

[@MRshifT11100]

Great set of notes detailing out everything, nice to be able to read it out as well as watching. One thing that confuses me about the chords though. For A major chord it has A + C + E. But between the A and the C there is only 2 notes, so wouldnt that make it a Minor? Also with the inversions of the Chords from the video he has 4 notes inbetween, particularly GCE, but is still called a Major? If anyone could make it clearer would be much appreciated.

What a great explanation in such a short time. I am very musical and play 5 other instruments including the Anglo concertina, but my piano teacher in gr. 8 slapped me on my fingers with a stick because I could not read sheet music! (Which I still cannot do but I produce instrumental arrangements for local TV.) She put me off from piano for the rest of my life. If anyone could just explain the chords like you did in under 10 minutes to me instead of wacking me on my fingers, I could have been a pianist a long time ago. Thank you, you have a gift. You speak my language and do not require that I first have to struggle through learning sheet music to understand piano. You put me back behind my keyboard in 7 minutes. God bless!!

[@ptsteelers]

I use to "dabble" with guitar. I knew a few chords and played a little, very little, but nothing grand and still have no true knowledge of music theory. However I injured my ring finger on my fret hand (nerve damage .. tried to catch a knife when it slipped out of my hand and sliced up my finger pretty bad. Good catch, stupid thing to do)) and so now I'm trying ... at the nice young age of 50 ... plus ... :) to give the piano a go. Just as a little hobby, no future plans or anything just something to mess around with and maybe learn a Beatle tune or something. However, you are the first person that I have seen in my youtube searches that showed me the "intervals". I knew how to make a major C chord, but didn't truly know WHY it was the way it was. Oh sure, I have seen people use the "3-2" spacing description in their videos, but the way you just described it ... it was like a little light-bulb went off in my head. As this video is so old, I have no idea what you are doing now, if you are still around or not or if you will ever see this or not, but just wanted to say thanks!! That little bit helped me a lot. So yeah, THANKS!! Perry

I will have to come back and replay this - but I love how you explained this, it is the first lesson I've grasped so quickly about piano keyboard theory. I was going slowly insane. .... I might cry.

I think I might have to watch it several times, but that's cool. I think it will work for me.
