    Im a pretty young pianist you could say, at 13 years old and have been playing for 6 years. I really want to progress even more and get better I take part at the school band for example and my teacher actually gives me motivation. I don’t want to flex or anything, just want to tell you that this actually helps, because ppl always ask me to play things, and chords are pretty important in plying by ear. You really make me happy with your piano vids, so fun to have fun learning something😝greetings from Germany bro👍

    About a year ago I was at a family members funeral. At the funeral there was someone playing the piano. I was never a musical person and really had no interest in classical music or in the piano. I have no idea what piece the person played but it just hit me. It was the first time i really listened to someone playing the piano and it was beautiful. After the funeral I tried searching up the song but never found it. And also that day I ordered my first electrical piano. I've been playing the piano almost everyday since then and I thought about writing some pieces myself and ended up here. This was a really good and clear video and I'm gonna be watching alot more of you in the future.

    @LadanzaTube Před 5 měsíci +17

    Nothing totally new for me but what a fantastic video all explained so good and well structured. Best video on that topic I watched!!
    But please now make as such a video that is about playing song covers with melody in the right hand and left hand patterns in the left. Please focus on left hand patterns and when to use which one and how and why in the left hand. Talk about arpeggiated patterns and rhythmic patterns so we can play a cover on the piano if we know the melody for the right and know the chords (no matter if we have a Leadsheet or sort it out by ear)
    Please do such a video. I would really appreciate 🎹💖🎹💖 and I'm sure more people would too 🙏🏻🙏🏻🤗

    I believe Advanced vs. Professional are at best subjective terms and are interchangeable. I know plenty of people who play professionally but play at intermediate/advance level.

    • @matticawood
      @matticawood  Před 4 měsíci +1

      Indeed…the entirety of music is subjective really so it is more about; how well can you produce the sound that you want - then it’s trying to remove the limiting factors, either information or technical.
      I also happen to know many that play professionals that are limited in either knowledge or technique and therefore can’t produce the range of ideas that they would like to.
      The level names don’t really mean anything, it’s just a more fun way of labelling them rather than “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”. 😊

    You are such an amazing educator, who can effectively demystify many seemingly complex theories. It is demoralizing for self-teaching learners to build technical skills without proper instruction and guidance. I didn't even know what I didn't know before watching your videos.

As a classical pianist, I have been struggling to understand how to play pop and rock songs on piano so that they dont sound plain and empty and your video "8 levels of playing chords" really helped me in that and this one is even more in depth!

    Thank you, it is relevant for me to understand the music harmony. But sharp means one semitone up. “One key up” is quite confusing, for instance D is one (white) key up from C.

    • @matticawood
      @matticawood  Před 3 měsíci

      No problem 😊 The closest key to the right of a C (up 1 in pitch) is the next black key rather than the white key. The reason it’s better to think of it that way is because an E# is the same as playing an F 😊

    Hello there!
    Just discovered your chanel and this is the kind of thing i have been trying to understand recently so this help a lot! Really well explained.
    I have a question though, is there a video explaining the rules of changing key when playing a song? Like playing in c major, and sometimes using a B minor or things like that. And the melody, that is played in the same key if i don't mistake? how does it work? are there tips or rules? Or am I just mistaking. Idk if i'm clear....
    An example of chord progression that i found recently, but i don't understand which key it's playing into :
    CEGB
    BD#F#A
    BDEG
    ACDF

  • @romanoromano1487
    @romanoromano1487 Před 2 měsíci +1

    Is adding 7th notes in triad called dominant 7th? Is this the same?

    • @matticawood
      @matticawood  Před 2 měsíci

      In music “dominant” means note 5 or chord 5 in a scale. So in C major, the dominant chord is a G chord.
      A dominant 7th is chord 5 in a scale with the added 7th to it. So the dominant 7th in a C major scale is a G7 chord (GBD-F).
      A dominant 7th is a unique type of 7th that has the important function in music of confirming the scale that’s being used. The reason for this is because it’s the only chord type where it’s notes can only be seen in 1 scale. So a G7 (GBDF) confirms the key of C major because a G7 won’t be seen in any other scale. 😊
