Hi handsome geeez im crazy i hope u can add secondary piano with color of which u are pressing. I know it can be solved by listening you properly of which notes to be played but it would easier (forrr me) to see colors clearly. I hope u can considerate pogi 🤓 Yawa ka igat nako 😂

It's amazing what one can learn on the internet today. Anything from physics, astronomy, philosophy, painting, cinematography, and music just just name a few interests. All it takes is a willingness to learn and a good teacher like you. Thank you! Great job!

I’m a 76 yr old beginner. I love your videos. You teach as well as you play, beautifully. Thank you for all the help! When I begin to think I am a hopeless case, you help me get through the problem and carry on with my practice.

[@kandamy1]

Interesting how many older beginners follow these videos ( myself included) . I think it may be to do with us being more self motivated and keen to learn not just in a formal class type situation- we're ready to experiment across music genres and perhaps less constrained by self-consciousness that can be difficult for younger people.

[@jeannettestuckelschwaiger5071]

Im 76 yo as well and beginner too. Very interesting to read other older beginner's expérience. My issue is that Im slow now😢 Thank for sharing.

[@jaganvideos]

I’m 42 and an absolute beginner. I got a P125 last week and I’ve started to follow your lessons. You are a gifted person and the best teacher I’ve found on KZbin. It will be lovely if you can create a playlist for beginners like me with your videos in sequential order - which exercises to practise as a beginner. Thanks in advance. Keep the great work going.

[@Divinemessages69]

Just when I thought this video was perfect you then bring on the cutest dog I've ever seen! And the way he was adoringly looking at you whilst you were talking just melted my heart. Thank you so much you are helping so many of us feel like playing like a pro isn't just a distant dream!

Thanks again for your wonderful presentation, Jazer’ I am a disabled Vietnam veteran and almost 74 years of age. I am a self taught piano, keyboard player, 50 years’ I developed my own method for playing based on math and muscle memory. I play and sing all styles from 1920’s through 1990’s music. My concentration is in Christian, gospel standards ,and oldie classic rock. My weakness is technique and theory’ I am constantly trying to further my learning’ I love your methodology of teaching.

Glad you think so! And thank you for the support! 🤓

[@karricompton]

I’m so glad my piano teacher made me play scales, chords, and chord inversions ad nauseum. It really helps me play from chord charts.

[@Netherfly]

Yeah. Im only just starting out (month 5!) but I had SO MUCH trouble learning chords until I just said, screw it, and started just hammering down all the chords I knew (which, TBF, is 6 chords) repeatedly while staring directly at my fingers.

[@MeowItsGhazt]

Whats a chord chart ¿ Is it just straight forward a chart of chords or is there something else I need to know

[@jesutunmbiolaitan5613]

Please any exercise for ear training

[@donnaking4353]

Thank you so much for this explanation of using inverted chords. I am 79 and just started piano 4 years ago. My husband is 84 yrs old and has been playing lead guitar professionally since he was 14 years old. He lives and breathes chords but can confuse me too easily. Because of your videos I am now understanding more what movements and practices I can do to improve my playing.

[@beatricekao3802]

This has just changed how I play the piano forever! It's true that I've only been playing it for about a week so every video is changing how I play every day but still this is gold!!

[@FunkymetalBL]

Awesome! This also forces you to know all the notes on the keyboard and then form the chords quickly. It’s a great exercise to practice. Thanks Jazer 🙏🏼 🐶 🎹

[@steveorourke8609]

I've been playing with inverted chords for years and only recently discovered the term for what I was doing. I love being able to describe a 1st inversion vs. a 2nd inversion. This is truly a richer found - I love sharing notes so that only part of the fingers move. Great stuff! 😀❤

[@musiciansdreams2541]

As someone who masters this technique/practice This was very interesting to watch and I'm happy that learning piano today is way easier for others thanks to your videos and other many new ways to study and learn

Best tutorial I’ve seen so far on inversions, particularly within the context of a chord progression. Thank you for taking the time to put this together. Great exercise 🙌🏼

[@kabedford]

That was great, dude! And I love the pooch! :)

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

I watched one of your videos 4 months ago and went out and bought a piano. I watched this 3 months ago, and here I am again. You have a very musical way to teach piano, and a cute puppy. This is a iV I V vi progression. And I think this is a great one to either practice on the circle of fourths or fifths, as well as chromatically. I started doing this yesterday...and came across this video again today. it seems that the shift should be similar in every progression in every key. And there are some standard basic chord progressions so this gives me a great idea for mastering this. I'm trying to do this since I'm working on a II V I progression on the circle of fourths. Merci beaucoup for your efforts. Great teachers have a place in heaven playing for the other angels.

[@Aquaerials]

Love your videos and style. You're definitely one of the best teachers on KZbin.

I've heard of this concept before but never really clicked until your video! Will be adding this to my next practice session!

[@l-pat]

Greetings from NZ! I had piano lessons when I was 13 "for something to do" and had been on the waiting list for ages. Then when the time came, I wasn't really into it and found the teacher daunting. I didn't learn much about using the right hand chords to play (as I gave up). I had to read sheet music which I hated (got in trouble for memorising the songs lol) . I lacked confidence to play in front of people and was in awe of my now late mum's natural talent thinking I wasn't good enough.. I have just started picking it up again as a way to feel connected to my mum. (and still know all the root chords!). I may be investing in a piano keyboard soon! Just mucking around on the ipad at this stage but it's very limiting. I love music and need it in my life. I will check out more of your lessons. Had no idea of inversion chords Thanks!

[@alwlferventdreams2651]

Trying to get better at singing and playing at the same time, this method is very helpful to not get distracted by big jumps and I feel less likely to play the wrong part. Thanks!

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

I started piano 8 months ago after watching one of your videos. Merci beaucoup. I don't know how many times I've watched this video, but someone made a comment that really hit home. There was a technique being demonstrated, and he said it's an intermediate technique. If you can't play this chord voicing technique easily in every key, you're still a beginner. I find that when I go into different keys, that doing the exercise in the left hand in C Major while trying the sequence in the right hand in another key helps to understand the movement. And of course I practice this in my left hand also. How long will it take me? It doesn't matter, I'll take the time. Thanks for helping me to start on this journey, Jazer.

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

I'm watching this for the nth time and using it as a template for chords in every key. And yes, music is amazing especially when you can recognize patterns. But putting it in practice is the goal. I would love to see your tips on modulating between keys. You have such a musical gift of making transitions sound beautiful that would be useful for taking my playing to the next step.

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

I'm not lying when I say I come back to your videos often. I have discovered the Tonnetz chart and am starting to learn some music theory. R, P, L are ways to shift on the Tonnetz chart meaning a Parallel shift (from a Major to a minot), a Leading shift (using the 7th and replacing the root note) and a Relative shift (keeping the Root and the 3rd and using the 6th, the relative minot) Do you know if there is a Tonnetz visualization for inversions?

[@timothyroy7132]

@@lawrencetaylor4101 Wow, I enjoy music theory but hadn't heard of the Tonnetz, this is really amazing! I may print it out, as well as the Circl of Fifths, and hang them above my keyboard. Not sure yet how to use it for chord progressions but I love the visual representation of chord structures.

I came to know how to play inverted chords as a result of my laziness to jump from one root chord to another. Also this helps me as I get agitated easily when I'm playing and thinking of whether I'll be able to press the correct notes.
