How to Play Passing Chords on Piano for Beginners

[@logikriver]

Even an advanced piano player has to watch from step 1 🤩

[@prettysimplemusic]

Ha!!! Love it bro!!! Advanced - Maybe not Step 1, but there’s definitely a lot packed into the simplicity of each step! 🔥🔥🔥 Much love 💚

[@Josekawa96]

I was just wandering where he left the beginner part

[@logikriver]

@@Josekawa96 Lol 🤣 I understand what you mean

[@kabuungecha7614]

So glad to be here.

[@seanonel]

"Amazing Twinkle, how sweet the star" There. You"ll never unhear that!

[@prettysimplemusic]

Ha!!! I love it bro... Yessir, always trying to keep it simple and relative for instant playability!!! Much love! 💚

[@seanonel]

@@prettysimplemusic You're a legend in my opinion. Love what you share with us. Many thanks and blessings in Him!

[@stalingomez5251]

I've tried a lot of video tutorials and courses but i didnt advance at all, until i found your channel. Your excercises and way of teaching is the best i found here. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@keysbythenumbers]

And that’s a big YES for me on tri-tone breakdowns.

[@prettysimplemusic]

Dude said big YEs!!! I guess that definitely means I need to put it on the to-do list!!! I'll keep you posted on what I come up with my bro!!

[@philatkinson3955]

I tried this last night...wow new day, new life, new opportunity...I am very excited about all this, even with my missing right index finger, I am praising God...I was playing Amazing Grace last night and crying...🥰🙏🎶

[@prettysimplemusic]

Wonderful! This 1000% MADE MY DAY!!!! 🔥💚

[@shawnwellons1744]

I have been teaching myself piano or keys for 20years or more and lately I thought about giving up but all I can say is where have you been All of My LIFE, watching this video has inspired me to try again because I can play but it's pretty plain to me but with this I believe that I can add flavor now so thank you and I'll definitely be watching

[@GermaineJohnson-c8l]

Yes you made it very easy to understand......Where were you all theses years...Thanks my brother

[@prettysimplemusic]

Love to hear this!! So glad to have you along with us now my brother! ☀️💚

[@Bashanvibe]

I love how take everyday applications and make it a teaching lesson with a different approach making me see more options from what I normally play!!!

[@prettysimplemusic]

My brooooo!!! The baddest board player in the ATL!!! Thanks bro - I'm trying... it's a process trying to simplify what is already so simple, then make it into something relative to what is needed for the gig/job/occasion... Much love my man!!! 💚

[@DynamicRockers]

Thanks KC for the lesson and your positivity! The chromatic addons are so nice to spice up the transitions.

[@prettysimplemusic]

Glad you like them! I was a little reluctant to add that type of dissonance, but it seemed to crossover pretty well... Much love my friend and thanks for the encouragement!!!

[@DynamicRockers]

@@prettysimplemusic There's so many possibilities but this one definitely has a gospel vibe. You're welcome KC, great video as usual. thanks a lot for the great quality of content you share.

[@bglidden1962]

I love how you look amazed at the sounds you're producing! This was a very informative video. I am now a subscriber and looking forward to learning more!

[@michaelthemitschkopetsch6350]

So cool to hear you cheering....thank you

[@prettysimplemusic]

Thanks Michael! I’m truly blessed to have your love and support and for taking time out to comment! Much love 💚

[@KennethGonzalez]

KC, your breakdowns and ideas are *the best*! This is applied ear training at its finest

[@prettysimplemusic]

My man KENNETH!!!!! As always man, you keep me lifted and encouraged! I don’t take our friendship on this musical journey for granted! Guitar, Keys, whatever… We’re truly stronger together!!! 💚

[@misterpigman]

God Bless you KC, you are the best. Hopefully you'd dive into that tritone lesson

[@prettysimplemusic]

Yessir my friend - That's the plan! I appreciate you and excited about the weeks ahead!

[@slawekiwanek402]

God bless you for those tips and tricks ! When you got to the tritons, I felt like I am in a boat with super nice ups and downs down the river ! Thank you !

[@prettysimplemusic]

Thanks a lot Slawek!!! It’s truly my pleasure… I really love that analogy of the boat!! 🛶

[@SterlingChris-tion]

I'VE BEEN PLAYING 🎹 FOR A WHILE BUT YOUR VIDEOS HAVE TAUGHT ME A LOT! 💪🏾🙏🏾💯

[@makhimanqina8776]

[@Jvaldes609]

I’m so amazed at the content of your channel my brother I listen offline at my job then go home and review in front of my board it helps when you are so clear in your explanation’s.

[@prettysimplemusic]

Mannnn that’s actually a great idea!!! To listen first to get an overview, then dig deeper when you’re able to sit and dive in! Love it my bro! See ya again when you get home & much love! 💚

[@amosunique3090]

Thank so much for sharing your knowledge. Indeed piano playing made simplified with ur channel. God bless you sir

[@yesayasonice]

Bro! This has changed my life! Subscribed to you bro

[@prettysimplemusic]

Wow man!!! Dunno if I’ve ever heard that compliment before! Definitely humbled my brother! Much love to you and thanks for subscribing!!! See you next Monday! 💚

[@elvisngenzi6932]

Love your energy, and you truly live your purpose here to simplify music. It's very clear. God bless you. Hope you'll get to doing videos on improvising on the keyboard sometime.

[@themodernscientist]

I've playing piano for quiet some time but your videos even the ones for beginners proof super useful to me. You deserve more than just a thumbs up and a comment. Thanks once again man. 😃

[@prettysimplemusic]

Thanks so much Dr. Desmond!!! You’re right, sometimes as experienced musicians we can still find something useful in the smallest simplest of concepts! Much love to you and many blessings! 💚

[@jamesallen5223]

Was about to leave a similar comment! Not a beginner but I guess still a beginner in some ways and found this video useful

[@musician1026]

A lot of us piano players who want to get better with the passing chords you are very special to us right now I'll be listening

[@joybenjaminyou3904]

Wow! This is awesome, your explanation is superb. I would love you to complete that song, Amazing Grace

[@Briabeats420]

Yh, because this video is in no way for a beginner. This video actually explains nothing.. Just shows how to make the passing chords in a c-f progression and if your chord progression is different, none of the creator's concern

[@NOVIAUGI]

Man, I love how simple you make playing. Many Blessings.

[@zackariasholmdahlsjoberg9626]

This was exactly what i needed in my life right now!! He Will provide 🙏

[@prettysimplemusic]

Yes He will!! Thanks so much for watching, much love! ☀️💚

[@prettysimplemusic]

Thanks so much Peter!!! I'm grateful to hear that this video helped sharpen your musical journey... See you next Monday!

[@wantehtelevision]

You are the booster of my piano life.

[@prettysimplemusic]

Wowowowowow!!! Never heard that before! I greatly appreciate the encouragement! Glad to play a part in your piano life!!! Much love! 💚

[@FeelingGreat2024]

KC, love how you're sharing! Yes, I would love more info on tritones and how to apply! Thx in advance!

[@prettysimplemusic]

Steven wussup my bro! Yessir I’ll definitely dig deeper into them as well as discovering the most easiest way to apply them! Much love and many blessings! 💚

[@GhMusiciansCorner]

Thanks Uncle ,we will need more on Passing Chords . Hello from Ghana

[@prettysimplemusic]

Hahahaha... man... I love them just as much... they're certainly a tricky topic, but I think I have a workaround to make them super simple to implement asap... Much love my bro! 💚

[@anointedfingerz598]

I get inspired whenever I watch your lessons. Please can you make a video on tritone and giant steps

[@malvinmanuel4518]

It was helpful and tritones lesson is of paramount importance to learn

[@pastordavidssayndeejr]

I been playing for over 20 years but I don't play like pros. I decided to take my music career more seriously and YOUR CHANEL IS DOING THAT for me. You are born a TEACHER.❤

[@philatkinson3955]

Wow, I lost a right index finger on my right hand few years back...but this showed me 1-3-5 no matter what position I can handle...I played clsssical when I was a kid, but now I am retired and enjoying your videos! God bless, you changed my life, I love piano...and I'm a professional drummer for last 30 years...lol🙏🥰😎👍

[@prettysimplemusic]

Phil!!!! Yessir man, I’ve discovered that we really only need our thumb and pinky to get the job done!!! The other fingers are the fill in notes!!! Much love my bro and glad that you’re touching lives both on keys and as a professional drummer!!! 🔥🔥🔥💚💚💚

[@n0limittroy]

You’re the reason why I love music.

[@franklinowusuafriyie]
