First time in my 55 Years of musical "career", that I have learned the diatonic scale! Wooow...I feel real motivated! Always make music without musical theory, but I feel that I am sort of stuck...So I searched the net to learn musical theory, and here I am....I wish a year of hard practicing had gone by already! Your video inspired me to make this important step!

I find it interesting that some people who know how to read music 🎵 cannot play a basic song 🎶 without the sheet music in front of them. And they play far better than I do. My first guitar teacher taught me chord progressions in each key where I don’t need sheet music for most songs to play. When I learned where middle C was on the piano 🎹 I could play your basic songs. It’s hard to play with someone who took piano lessons. Why don’t they not teach you chord progressions?

One could argue that internalizing triads (and chords) BOTH ways is important. How they are constructed from intervals AND how they are built diatonically off a certain scale (major, melodic minor, 6-th diminished, etc).

The thing is, watching all of these adhoc videos su just as this you will learn the piano at such a snail pace that you just won't bother in the end. This is how I learnt my chords but you need a more structured approach to go beyond this. And sometimes watching someone playing great tunes can add to frustration cos. One must find a structured approach otherwise you will be going round in circles!

I finally got an in person teacher. My progress has been so much faster. What I was missing, was a structured learning plan, as you have pointed out. I stumbled across this video after I was asked to memorize the 12 major and minor chord.s. Very helpful information as a supplement to my in person learning. I will check out this instructor’s site.

This is brilliant lesson! I love practicing it. Im new to piano. I don't know if i am missing something, or there is a mistake on every 3rd chord in fingering on left hand in lesson sheet. First two are 1, 3, 5, which is fine and then 5, 2, 1?

I imagine this method works alright if you know your stuff. For an absolute newbie like myself, no idea what a diminished chord is, or any of those other terms apart from major & minor. The original way appears easier to a beginner like myself.

Wouldn’t it be easier to just learn the learn chord shape for each chord quality starting from C? Like learn the pattern for Minor Chords with ud, SDU, SD, 2ud, SD, ul, dl? Where ud =up, then down; SDU = Super down, then Super up; 2ud = 2 iterations of up, then down ul = up-left dl = down-left up = white (w) - black (b) - white down = bwb Super down = www Super up = bbb up-left = bbw down-left = wwb

I'm like classical piano been playing a long time, but never got the theory thing. So I'm thinking to instantly recognize chords will help me learn a piece faster and memorize it better. Do you have a program just for learning chords faster?
@riddar12 жыл бұрын
In actual facts, it's a way of looking at things and each look may bring something that suits us. I find your approach very formative since you practice chords while practicing scales since chords are a scale from which some notes have been taken away. Personnally, because I haven't leart it as a second nature, to find which notes belong to a scale, i've learnt the "mathematical progression" of that scale and I apply it to my notational system : first note of the scale is 0, second is 0.5 and so on until 5.5. I know for eg that a major scale is 0 1 2 2.5 3.5 4.5 5.5 so to find what A major scale is I just have to follow the pattern. To that I have learnt a number notation of the notes : C is 0 Csharp is 0.5 etc. It was easier for me for the counting to chose C =0 instead of c=1. because i am used to think lets say A / la, which don't represent a number, and saying is the sixth, is artificial and has nothing mathematical, hence useless to me when reproducing a pattern Major chord 0 2 3.5 If I want to know which notes in Bmajor, I think B = 5.5 , and I add 2 w
@stanle4291 Жыл бұрын
Wow, realy inspiring way to use the numbers. Maybe with only adjustion: in a common music notation the notes start with 1. And instand of 1.5 for C# I would use 1#. Well, I'll try and report about my experience. :)

Love your tutorials - on that note (no pun intended) you're skipping past the effectiveness in learning the entire major scale, ie D major. Essentially, you're just playing the major/minor chords that include white keys only, and instead bypassing any chords that involve black keys.
