I have played keyboards in bands since 1983 and still do. I still do not (bother to) read music. I did have a teacher in the early years who taught me the importance of knowing chords and how they are constructed. A very old book - "Chord Construction Magic" by Bill Irwin - actually written for organists but still applies, had been my bible for years until I just know naturally about the sound I want, the direction I want the music to have (direction also means emotion to me). Players - please learn those chords. Feel the emotion from your music. Kaitlyn's video is a great place to start.

I can't believe it. My mother gave me one piano lesson when I was maybe 5 years old. It stuck with me my whole life. It was the 4-3 pattern. I started teaching myself piano years ago to fill in at church when we lost the keyboard player and I used that method to find the chords. Someone else stepped up to play piano that was experienced and I stopped practicing and just went back to guitar. I never had the chance to play on Sunday. Its been 60 years and this is the 2nd time in my life I heard someone explain it.

Just so you get what the “sus” is in a sus 2 or sus 4…..you are “suspending” or not playing the 3rd in a 1-3-5 major chord, and you replace it with the 2nd or the 4th. So it’s really an incomplete name for those chord shapes, but it really means “suspend the third and play the second” or “suspend the third and play the fourth.” It’s a nice “tension” chord that wants to resolve back to the 1-3-5 shape.

Thanks for that. All my life and no one has explained the structure of different chords to me like that. It seems such a basic thing to explain, regardless whether it helps with playing existing sheet music or not. (Now I just have to make the opportunity to take up learning to play again. That bit ain't going too well.)

❤ Love your lessons Kaitlyn and as guitar player and home recording enthusiast I have recently bought a midi keyboard to go with my DAW. Using piano chords gives you a nice basis to build an instrumental song by adding layers of guitars, bass and drums. I’m really excited to particularly learn the majors, minors, 7ths and sus chords which cover most of what’s needed for a good rock, pop instrumental. The thing I love about midi is you can play the chords at a manageable BPM then speed them up to whatever sounds good without any change in pitch.
