Thank you! Finally, a video that at least touches on playing a slash chord with the left hand only. For example, if you want to play the Melody with the right hand and have to play a slash chord with the left hand.

I think I’ve finally decided on the Piano Tutorial channel I’ll mainly stick to. Your explanations are not only straight forward and easy to follow, but there’s also the calm, friendly way you teach that makes lessons fun. Good job.

Excellent Lesson Scott!!!!!! Thanks so much!!! I’m Totally CLEAR on what “SLASH CHORDS” are for now……I was not good in math….So i always thought of them as fractions….to be avoided. But now I’m clear! Appreciate it!😍

Slash chords have a lot of character. They are used frequently in James Bond music. Thanks, Scott, for the video.

One of the lessons make reference to "Over the Rainbow," but that song is not in either Gig book. Is there a 3rd Gig book available?
@pianoinaflash6 жыл бұрын
No - but you should try to figure it out yourself :-) Start the melody on a C, then jump up an octave to the higher C and figure out the rest of the melody hunting and pecking from there. Then to give you a start on figuring out the chords by ear, the first few in the changes progress similar to this: C, Amin, Emin (then Edim passing to...) F, C Just relax and let your ears tell you when you should move from chord to chord - I bet you'll shock yourself, and it is GREAT ear training practice now that you are in Course 4 where we are doing all the interval training. Have fun!

What is that Triangle icon when you wrote the Bflat7 Mr Scott?? By the way, your Learning Piano in a Flash is a super great book. I read it about three times or more and am currently learning to play from it, I just aced Row Row You Boat, Jingle Bells, & Joy to the world last night - Going to the section on Blues Scales next. Many Thanks for being, probably the best piano teacher around (The World Yeah).
@pianoinaflash5 жыл бұрын
First off, thanks for the nice words! I'm really happy my stuff is helping you have fun on a piano ... That triangle is just another way to designate "Major 7". and to add... for folks that use those triangles (like me when I am hurriedly writing down changes) they will usually also use a dash to designate "minor" - so a C-7 = C Minor 7

Great lesson, as always thanks. One thing though - is it just me and my iPad, or are all louder parts in the video accompanied by a low crackling noise? Gave the whole thing a vinyl vibe ...
@pianoinaflash6 жыл бұрын
Ha! No clue... Maybe it was clipping (levels too hot) when we recorded it and we missed it in post? Who knows... No intentional "throw-back" vibe though I assure you. :-)

I think it might be your iPad. We aren't getting any crackling on our end

I double checked on the PC and still get crackling, e. g. at 1:55 when playing the F-chord

I only play chords with my left hand, yet mostly ALL that show how to play a slash chord show the chord played with the right hand with the slash played with the left hand. How does all this work in with the tune played with the right hand, usually?
@pianoinaflash4 жыл бұрын
That's a very good point John ... Guilty as charged. Ha! The answer is that it takes a "little" more advanced technique that would mostly fall into two categories. 1) Use the sustain pedal this way: Reach down and play the bass note (to the right of the slash), "grab" it with the sustain pedal so it keeps sounds, then come up where you normally would play your chords and play the chord that is to the left of the slash. 2) Play just bass note in your LH, then, while playing the melody note as the highest note you hear, fill in some of the chord tones with the remaining fingers of your right hand. i.e. play the chord in your right, but add the melody note as the top note. Hope that helps...
@johntowski71604 жыл бұрын
How does one use the slash chord when playing the chord with the left hand, expecially C/A. I usually play the tune with the right hand, and you're showing the chord played with the right hand and play the A in the bass. Confusing!
@stephanienodwell59446 жыл бұрын
how do you play a D2 chord?
@pianoinaflash6 жыл бұрын
That's usually another way to say Dsus2 in chord symbology. You replace the third in a triad with a second. So in this case it would be D,E,A (the normal F# 3rd of a D chord slides down to the 2nd, or E). Hope that helps :-)
