Learn 4 Easy Piano Chords to Play Thousands of Songs FAST

[@bonniewalker2361]

I love this video. I am a Pastor's wife and recently started playing in the church after we lost our regular piano player. I tried to take one-on-one lessons and failed horribly. I find that I can relate well to your form of teaching. I am looking forward to learning more.

[@TheStrataminor]

Hope it is going well! Blessings from a fellow Christian in Queensland, Australia!!

[@steveedwards4495]

Brilliant, thank you. Just confused by the graphic that shows C D# G?

[@aszandek]

Hi, That is great! Thanks. By the way, the C major descripton on top (from 1:18), has a small mistake. The green mark is on the Eb, so it is a C minor, but you played and told it well. (You can repair that video if you want.) All the best, keep going!!!

[@JamesWatsonComposer]

I really appreciate your philosophy on teaching chords first. It trains students to internalize theory and harmony intuitively and aurally as well as technically.

[@scotthunt2479]

It is amazing how much one can learn just by watching you play. I'm a beginner, and am now learning chords (still learning the scales, though). I began playing "Let It Be", and started in middle C like you do. However, I was inexperienced enough that I moved my right hand "UP" to get to the Gmajor instead of moving my hand DOWN to get to the G. No wonder it didn't sound right. Too focused on playing the G moving up, probably because that's the way I learned scales (C>D>E>F>G, etc.) and subsequent chords (triads) moving up while in Cmajor. Thanks for straightening me out.

[@chelsea3794]

Finally someone make it easier for me to understand why, why, how, how & what those 4 major chords are for. THANK YOU! God bless.

[@jbentonio]

I used your method for Googling a song's chords and realized I can play TONS of worship songs using the four chords you showed me! This is great!

[@pianoly]

That’s awesome! What song will you learn first?

[@jbentonio]

@@pianoly My girlfriend loves the song "Honey in the Rock," which uses the same chords! However, I'll have to transcribe the song to C so I can play it using the chords you taught me in this video. Will you do a video on transcription someday?

[@pianoly]

Oh wow I’ll have to check that song out. Amazing that you know about transcription. Yes, I’m sure there will be a video about that soon!

[@jimkingsland1645]

Thank you for this clear snd concise lesson. Your combination of the actual keyboard and the chord overlay makes it seem easy, which is extremely motivating! “Let it Be” is a great song to learn. More Beatles please!’ I recently discovered your channel and I’m all in. Thank you!

[@R.Akerman-oz1tf]

I certainly would recommend this vid to ANY beginner(age notwithstanding).

[@RazaAli-xz9qo]

Thanks!

[@pianoly]

Thank you so much!

[@Fantasia5417]

I took piano lessons when I was younger. Now I'm ready to try again. You are a fantastic teacher and I am working on your methods and lessons. I would love to learn my favorite song : Imagine, by John Lennon. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful talent.

[@CelticDreamsCoUk]

Has no one else noticed the glaring error? ? 1:28 ..... "C major is always going to be the notes C E G" ....I agree, so why does the chart above it show C major as being C D# G. I really love your videos, but if you are teaching basic chords to beginners, it's somewhat pointless if the video is fundamentally wrong.

[@johnnyjohnstone7684]

I wanted to thank God for everything He has dun for me but a chose something i can not do at all to thank Him and playing Keyboard or Piano is one of them

[@ruthowino5381]

You are an excellent piano teacher and player , thank you so much, you are lovely.

[@pianoly]

I'm a total beginner with the Piano / keyboard as from literally today, I have just subscribed to your channel and Kaitlyn you really do impress me and really hope i can make this a favourite hobby of mine. Love your style & delivery. Bless you!

[@wickedninja8599]

Okay you showed these chords starting at C4 and going up and then Let It Be was C4 and below. So how would you know if a chord starts at C4 or higher or lower? So if the C chord starts on C5 or C3 how would you know?

[@alainf2315]

I see in the picture above your piano it doesn't give CEG for the C chord but C Dsharp G.

[@sharksmeoow]

You are a great teacher thank you so much for your videos I’ve learned a ton already!

[@thebelieversplace]

Question, I am new to this but I'm wondering about the four chords and what it would look like on a sheet of music? Notes, sheet of music. C-Major, F-Major, G-Major & A-Minor chords

[@Wiser65]

[@dorneikaritchie241]

[@ricklarson9312]

Great info.. I have been watching Kaitlyn for awhile now. I watch a few good teachers.. For those wondering PIANOLY with Kaitlyn is in my top 3 not in any certain order! Great teacher you will not be disappointed.. I really think she gives some the easiest content to learn she goes slow and explains extremely well.. Lee 01-17-2024 from MN

[@robinsonchristian702]

Thanks for your Guidance.God Bless you..

[@HalicBokwe]

Please we are grateful to have you ma please i just developed interest in learning the piano but need to start with the naming of the keys first

[@amitayudas1411]

"Let it be" was sounding So wonderful

[@j3ro3n]

The C Major chord in the example at the top of the video is actually a C minor chord. (Eb instead of E) You're playing the right chord but the example is wrong.

[@pianoly]

You’re right! I noticed it after upload. 👎 Hope you found the video helpful!

[@marinerIcarus]

Thanks for simplifying my new hobby.. have been struggling a while.

[@MA-dg1qr]

Kaitlyn, I have a question for you. In this video from 1:20 (time into video) to about 4:08 you demonstrated the chords C major, F major, G major and A minor. In your demo, you proceeded up the scale (to the right) with the chords following C major. Then when you did the demo using these chords for the song “Let It Be”, you start with C major at the “C4” point on the scale but then used the other 3 chords going down the scale (to the left). That threw me since you demoed the last 3 chords (prior to the song) going up the scale. I get it that those are the correct chords, but is there anything on the play sheet that would convey that direction relative the C major? Also at 1:17, the graphic image of the C major chord has illustrates a black key with green coloring to indicate to strike that key. I assume this is just a typo, correct? Kaitlyn, you are a brilliant instructor. I am sooo enjoying your KZbin channel and am an older student who want to play the songs that I love using your methods. Thanks, Mark in Woodland CA

[@JohnNgusa-m4v]

Thanks for the knowledge

[@runwiththerunners8152]

Wonderfully explained thank you. One day I would love to be able to play 'Music was my first love' by John Mills.

[@marjoriesell8079]

I never learned chords in my lessons as a child. At 74, it's time! I have just been playing whatever music is on the page! I think I'm a 4th grade level. I can play the entire Poet and the Peasant overture. I started learning it 60 years ago but never finished learning the last pages until two years ago. Phew!

[@vincelucas5722]

I'm loving your videos!

[@vibecaptainthe9147]

thank you very much! Can you make a few song tutorial, with these 4 chords?

[@pianoly]

Yes, one is already in line to be coming up soon! 😊

[@teedtad2534]

Try them please 🙏 🔥🙏🔥 for your New Videos! Thanks much! You are a good teacher!! Enjoyed this video! Keep an easy SLOW pace step by step! . blessings!! 💠💡💠💡💠

[@verunaslaninkova7869]

Thank you so SO much

[@blousug]

Thanks al lot for th video. I'm a bass player and I have been getting really into learning my fretboard, scales and modes. I realized how you can just use that theory to play the keyboard, so I have been learning basic chords and triads on the keyboard. Eventually I want to create melodies with my midi keyboard to go along with my bass! Have a good day.

[@pianoly]

That’s awesome, Maria! Thanks for watching!

[@fredhumber3865]

Recently I made the decision to learn to play the piano. I’m now seventy eight and have not the time for ta twenty five year training program. Well,you are the answer to my prayers. You manner of teaching is uplifting and encouraging. Thank you for offering this course. I’m so excited and looking forward to playing and singing. You’ve given me the confidence……..it’s going to happen. Thanking you in advance.

[@RubenValdez-u2p]

Hi, I am a newbie trying to learn this beautiful instrument I'm starting to see your videos I hop I can learn the song Big shot from The Artist, Billy Joel . Thank you for your patience, thank you, ma'am. Ps Happy new year.

[@ignasitebe2384]

Wow! What awesome class, thank you a lot for that! My favorite is the 3rd, the waves arpeggio, due I realized it sounds amazing with the sus pedal, and once the two hands are flowing coordinatelly it's like an hypnotic trance... really sounds like magical waves... and I was surfing them...what a feeling! Then the most challenging was the 6th, two octave arpeggios, due this cross thumb on the forth note, who has to jump 3 keys instead the one we get used on the scales technique... so really big jump for my clumsy thumb... 😛but I will keep practicing until master it due you're right, arpeggios are really amazing!!!

[@pianoly]

Glad you’re enjoying them!!

[@ponniambal4273]

Thanks so much. You are so inspiring and motivating ❤🙏

Hello! After a brain injury many years ago I lost my ability to play the guitar. I spent a lot of years on stage and its all gone. re-learning the guitar is just not happening but I refuse to give up on music. I can plink out a couple of simple tune segments on a piano and I have access to a piano. I'm going to give this a try for the next six months. Lets see where this takes me. Than you!

Awesome.. you have inspired me to buy a keyboard..when I was young I could play the piano by ear.. and I've been messing around with free Garage Band on iOS ipad mini..its a little small.. and also now use the King of FM synthesiser plug-in .. both these are free and awesome too. But I realised I need a keyboard at least to experiment .. after your video I now see I need to learn other things too.. thanks again ..awesome..I'll be watching videos..
