What’s up my piano friends!! Today we’re going to learn piano chords for beginners, to intermediate, to advanced, all explained in 10 simple steps.
This lesson is something every newbie needs to know, but if you already have a lot of experience you can absolutely learn a lot as well.
Oh, and by the way - along the way we’re going to learn some easy songs you hear on the radio. So not only are you mastering chords step by step, but you’re also going to be learning piano chords for popular songs and having fun in the process. And they sound absolutely beautiful.
This tutorial is designed to walk you through the basics of each step so that it’s BARELY harder than the step before. Starting with one hand, and moving to both hands. Starting root position and moving to voicing with inversions. To make it as simple and frustration free as possible.
Here’s what we’ll cover:
00:00 Intro
00:24 Beginner Chords & Patterns
01:25 Playing the First Song!!
01:47 Intermediate Chords & Patterns
04:18 Playing the Next Song (The ROMANTIC One)
04:41 Step 3: Advanced Chords & Patterns
06:35 Playing MULTIPLE Songs Using Chords
By the way, stay around to the end - the LAST step is going to allow you to play a bunch of your favorite songs from the radio in the key of C, with all the major and minor chords you need.
Oh, and also you’re going to learn something called a chord progression, meaning a series of chords that sound good together you can use for anything, pop, jazz, worship songs, gospel, and learn songs from All of Me to Billy Eilish to Can’t Help Fallin In Love to Hallelujah to Queen.
Throughout the video, I'll cover essential techniques and exercises, ensuring you grasp every concept thoroughly. Plus, you'll master all the necessary notes while steering clear of any bad habits. Once you master chords and scales, you really have the building blocks to piano.
By the time we wrap up this tutorial, you'll be rocking out to these tunes like a pro, leaving everyone amazed. So, let's jump in, take it step by step, and learn some awesome piano songs together. Before you know it, you'll be the pianist you've always wanted to be.

Happy practicing!!

피아노를 배우게 싶게 동기부여를 하는 당신의 정말 멋진 수업입니다. 오래오래 이 유투브 채널을 지켜주세요 ❤
@@jameskaura9393 Thank you!!
I played piano with lessons reading sheet music age 5-16 and then stepped away until 32. When I picked it up again, I was saddened by how much skill was lost. Then my friend showed me how to play using chords and it was life changing! I wish I would have started this way…. It allows the musician to tap into their creative side so much easier and takes the brain out of it. What a service your teachings are… thank you! 🙏🏻🤠💗
OM GOSH! Don't send Zach a hat cuz you just inflated his head beyond production designs (laughing). Truly though, you're right, the chord shapes not only sound great but teach the shapes you'll be using in most non classical music.
That happens to so many people! The "conventional" way is to start with sheet music, but the reality is for most people who want to learn their favorite songs from the radio, learning chords is a way better way to start. Then you can always learn sheet music later on *if* you want to
@@Gr8FriknApe 😂😂
So true. Thank you both for confirming my experience. I was assuming I wasn’t a freak of nature. 😁

Three days ago I never played the piano in my life. I Am 55 years old. I've always dreamed of playing the piano. Day 1 I found your first beginner video 4 notes, GCCE, I spent day one practising until I could do with my eyes closed and I got my speed up. Day 2 your video of 4 chord progressions. Practised all day yesterday. I practised until I could play with my eyes closed using the shapes in my head. I nearly cried it felt so wonderful I am actually playing music. My husband cannot believe how good I sound. Today I move on to this lesson. Thank you so much. I cannot express enough gratitude. I feel musical. It is beautiful 😍
This was such a heartwarming experience 💕
You're such a talented teacher , I thank God for the gift he gave u.
Thank you so much
Excellent first lesson!
The next thing i would add would be reversing the bottom and middle keys in the right hand pattern so it's descending, which also sounds really nice
I appreciate this. I am self-taught. I never allow anyone to hear me butchering the classics. Now, I will be able to WOW them instead of staying silent. Thanks a bunch!
Just improvising over a nice chord progression is what I (a total beginner at the age of 45, coming from the guitar) love and what I do when I'm on a dead end with piano lessons. Helps me alot in just keeping the Instrument alive and fun.
These are the kind of exercises I look for to help build muscle memory. Simple, fun and not to complicated.
Really wonderful. Praise the Lord
Your way of teaching is fentastic! May God bless you Sir!
Bro. You just gave me the cheat code. It's all finally starting to make sense!! Thanks man!! 💪💪🙏🙏
Glad the cheat code is working, you're welcome 🎹
One of your very best lessons, Zach! You casually snuck in a couple of inversions that make this progression so much easier to navigate, and the left hand rhythm at the end really amps it up. Great job!
Thank you!! Glad you noticed the inversions in there 🔥🔥
thank you this lesson is so amazing
Love these videos and charts, you made my life so much better with your lessons; thank you so very much. Keep up your hard work, you’re definitely doing great things for a lot of people.
Thanks so much for the kind words, and will do
This is absolutely amazing . So easy to follow. Thank you for taking the time to share on here with the world. 😍
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Another great practical piano video Zac! Can not wait to try out these techniques! Many many thanks.
The graphics really help! Thank you!
Great to hear, they take me a lot of time to do after recording, so glad to know it's appreciated!
Thanks for the big help for teaching daughter !
awesome thank you for this x
Love this thank you so much for the lessons they are so brilliant
So simple thankyou
Aside from really teaching, you do one very important thing by your videos: you motivate and encourage newbies. Thanks a lot and keep it up Zach!
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it
Wonderful!
Great! Please make a video about Inversions.
Alright I'll put it on the list 👍👍
You are awesome Zach! how come it feels so easy when you explain it.
So glad you liked it, I put a lot of time and effort into simplifying things as much as possible :)
Back at the piano for the first time in twenty years... I feel like this video got me farther ahead when it comes to actually understanding how piano actually works than six months of my boring old piano lessons as a kid ever did 🍻
Amei sua explicação, muito obrigada!
Hlo im indian but your video very successful bro im very happy your video is very successful
Thank you for this, you are my really first piano teacher
Awesome lesson, as usual! Thanks Zach
You're welcome Eduardo!

👍🏼
Awesome, excited for your progress!
Thanks for your effort ❤️👍🏻
Love your videos so much, you explain things in a way my brain can get hold of and understand quickly. 👍👍👍☕
Awesome! Thank you!
This is very nice..I can almost practice chords❤
Thank you so much for uploading the video
Can you help by playing some hymns, Christian songs if possible 😊
Sure thing, here's a video that'll help ya out a lot with that: czcams.com/video/L1bdF_0FAPY/video.html
Thanks a lot for sharing the link..😊
You are the GOAT super human piano. I love youuuu. Thank you ❤❤❤
Aw, thanks a million! 🎹 So glad you're enjoying the tunes! Much love! ❤️
I just subscribed because you're awesome.
thank you because I learned something from you in playing the piano, because I want to make music
I played this at my job orientation. Now I'm the office legend
Let's gooo!!!!
Well i learnt a lot thank you
Wow, awesome!
Loved this tutorial!! I get it. Question? Once you have inverted a chord, how do you tell by looking at it, which chord it is, since I usually tell by the bottom note
Another awsome lesson!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Zach, can you please make a video for how to play rush e? Love your videos❤
THANKYOU FROM INDONESIA PIANO TEORY LEARNING.GOD BLESS YOU.BROTHER.
Thank you!! Glad you liked the video 🔥
You are teaching well
God bless you ❤
Thank you ❤
Very helpful!
Thank you!
Incredible!
Makes it look so simple, I wonder how many weeks its going to take me to figure out steps 7,8,9? Another challenge...
Thank you!
dude, I just remembered this nice song a few days ago, and started listening to it again after some time. kudos for your effort! I'll let you know right now I'll send you an email asking for the song in advance
Love your enthusiasm. I'm 72 and decided to learn the piano. I have never played any instrument and don't know how to read music. But always wanted to learn the piano. So loving your cheat sheets. I started practicing and found that in your ultimate beginner piano cheat sheet, the C major is played with CEG, But in your Iconic Songs Cheat Sheet the Taylor Swift C Major is E G C, same notes but different fingers. Why are they not the same.?
YOU ARE THE BEST!! Do you do any gospel hymns?
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it
I do have a lesson on church hymns, not exactly gospel but maybe it can help ya out! czcams.com/video/L1bdF_0FAPY/video.html
Awesome video! How do you find songs where you don’t move your hands with your thumb on starting C position? So songs with key notes (C to 6) for both hands?
Ok, I got my first keyboard 2 weeks ago and am a complete beginner. I have watched your video on loop and have practiced for about 2 hours now and I think I am at Level 2.5 (ish - lol). I cant believe how hard it is to get left hand and right hand to work together, my head understands a simple instruction but my fingers don't want to work. You have a new subscriber in me, thank you so much for your instruction videos they are really helping.
Thanks for sharing your piano journey; I'm glad the videos are aiding your progress-keep it up! 🔥
Neato. That is a big help.
Glad you enjoyed it Philip
hướng dẫn của bạn thật cô đọng dễ nhớ giai điệu đẹp đáng để học hỏi luyện tập/ Cảm ơn

Iam beginner vry helpfull video ❤
Superb discribe
Thanks so much
Thanks bro for u nice lesson❤❤❤❤❤
It's my pleasure, enjoy playing piano 🎹
thanks...❤😊
No problem 😊
Saw a documentary about Paul McCartney from the Beatles, he said that he can't read sheet music at all! He's done pretty well without it, hasn't he. Great tutorials Zach, they help so much 👍☕
Yeah man I'm leaning I think you're the best piano teacher.
Wow, thanks!
is there anyway you can create a playlist from the first video we should learn to the last?
This is awesome. That said, however, when I played So Sick of Love Songs for my senior friends they looked like deer caught in headlights (crickets) (chuckles). Sorry couldn't help myself (snickers). Seriously though, this is some GOOD SHIZ man! I will be plugging this video in soon while I practice. I can see the benefits. Thanks Zach.
Thank you so much!! Glad you're having success with the lessons 🔥
I am new to playing the piano. Any suggestions which keyboard to buy, looking for something mid range. It will need a Bluetooth function so I dont wake up the neighborhood. Many thanks.
Wish me luck as I’m applying these lesson on a laptop keyboard using FL studio😭😱 But, hey, I wanna learn so no excuses💯
I needs to learn to follow your inteligence
👌
Thanks a lot for the wonderful lesson 🎉😊 keep shining 🌟
Yes
😃
I'm just bought digital piano on last Saturday , And come to your channel , thing is I don't know which video I need to learn first.
If anyone here see this comment , please guide me.
I Love that music can be so simple, but sound so complex. Who knew big pop songs were just block chords with a little pizzazz 😂
Thanks for the video Zach! I suppose it's time for me to start my new key for the week. On to E major!
Woohoo!! Thanks for the kind words :)
good singing
top👍
👍👍👍
THANK you for sharing your expertise!!
Happy to hear it Marsha!
Do you have any videos showing how to play the chords by finger? I just want to practice playing and building muscle memory with C D E F G A B obviously triad chords. I need to know/visually see I'm playing each chord correctly. Don't want to memorize wrong finger technique. Hope this makes sense. A 3 part vid would be cool. One showing the major chords. One minor. And the third showing rhythm exercises with the chords. 12 123 1234 1-12...3 if this makes sense. All this with just chords and correct finger positioning for all chords: CDEFGAB
Question why is f major and c major are in different notes?
this is Fantasicos la moriano ...don't ask me what it means it just sounds as nice.
Ior basig cord isn't God you have a fehler tip am Cmajor und G major in rest you are a very good teacher
Whats the difference between minor and major chords?
2:38 “now this isn’t actually as hard as it looks”
me, only hitting the notes with my long nails because my hands don’t work like that:
❤❤❤❤❤❤
👍
Nice. But as a kid for the octives my fingers need to stretch a bit
this is fucking genius! Will come back 1 month later and feedback my progress
Awesome! Share your progress here. Thank you!
You seem to be playing 1 2 4 fingering for am c and g instead of 1 2 3. Any reason for that?
So for chords, you'll use both fingerings depending on the situation. It mainly matters what chord you're playing *next* - if the top note goes UP in the next chord, you'll want to use 124 so that you can use 5 on the next chord. If not, often times people use 135. But either way is fine!
im just starting ,step 3 took me 30 minutes on this 7 minute video but im going to keep at it lol

The cheat sheet links nkt working 😢😢
Reduce the speed by 50% and practise the steps one a day and you will reach your goal.
I’m trying to learn piano but I never heard any of these songs. 😂
This video is really misleading I played A Minor and now I’m in custody 😡😡😡
i don’t get it😅
Aye yo
Underage involvement, probably a s*xual encouter. Joke. The age of consent varies place to place, and most people misuse the p-word (what fake "Prophet" Muhammad, peace not upon him, was lol 💀). Shalom. @@imaginelookingatthisrn
