What’s up my piano friends! Today we’re going to go over the 6 BEST chord progressions for piano beginners. Trust me, this is the easiest tutorial out there. If you can follow simple instructions on a cheat sheet you can learn this stuff no problem. Here are the 6 progressions (named for the emotion they give off):
TOP 6 CHORD PROGRESSIONS:
1. The “Catchy”
2. The “Emotional”
3. The “Road Trip”
4. The “Evil”
5. The “Somber”
6. The “Sinister”
Oh, and what’s even better, is we use a concept called Chord Stacking to make this EVEN easier! So basically once you learn the first chord progression, we simply “stack” the chords in different orders and transpositions to create the other 5 with zero extra effort on your part.
Sounds too good to be true, but trust me, you’ll see what I mean in the video :)
Oh, and MAKE SURE YOU STICK AROUND TO THE END!! We’ll be covering the top 3 “Money Patterns” you can use to really bring these chord progressions to life. I use these ALL the freakin time lol and they work wonders.
And lastly, I’d love to hear from you. Leave a comment and let me know what you thought of the video, if it helped you or if you got stuck somewhere. And make sure you download the cheat sheet it’ll make the whole process 10X easier:

Zac I waited 8 weeks for the delivery of piano, in the meantime I printed off your cheat sheets and today I started to master a sheet per day. I am 81 years old.
AWESOME!
Carla Martin All the very best
Good luck, Sir, it’s never too late to start.
fantastic
@@urbino49 knowing that you are 81, convinces me that I too have some hope at 68. Zac is an awesome teacher.
Honestly at first, your energy felt like you were trying to sell me something. But as I went through the video open mindedly, I realized that you're just really passionate about your craft. I really appreciate this video and it's one of the better piano lessons on youtube I've come across so far. Watched the video 2x to get the chords down haha. Glad to have found you.
I felt the same way! I was tempted to move on because Zach appeared up to a sales pitch. But, I've checked out several of his videos the last three weeks and I believe he's just truly passionate about teaching piano to others. Thanks for the videos and free resources Zach.
Thought you were selling stuff too. Most the time guys with your vibe are. Glad to know sometimes that kind energy isn’t just BS. Thanks for your genuinely useful techniques
Zach's definitely selling his services, but he's also an excellent teacher and dedicated to helping his students, as well as making it a thriving business.
Iam getting to learn more of piano practical as I watch u tube
i agree i wish we had teacher like you in our country
nice id never played a piano by just watching i learned
I am thankful to God i found this channel because im just started learning piano without teacher.
Both sons are deployed…. At 41 instead of being sad I come to your page and practice 💖Thank you for showing us your way💖Piano has always been on my ‘to do’ list💖
After over 50 years of mediocre piano playing chained to hokey sheet music arrangements, you've opened the door to freedom! Your energy and the amount of content you offer are unbelievable. You're such a gifted teacher. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
My story, too! Thank you!!
I found my favorite piano teacher 😃👍 I'm sticking with this guy to teach me how to play piano😁👍 he's so energetic and upbeat and most importantly breaks everything down so great! Five star rating! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Yea me too I love your name and profile picture!
Me too
Yeah your videos help me out so much
5 stars⭐🌟🌟🌟🌟
Your videos are hands-down clear-the-clouds, makes-instant-sense, multiple a-ha moments GOLD. It's a massive relief for us who are trying to wrap our brains around playing the piano. Finally this stuff makes sense. But you know how those old-timey player pianos were at 100% power on every note? No matter how much you love the song, it can wear you out listening at that intensity. Anyway, your content is so good that I watch the videos over and over to make sure I don't miss a thing. Thank you for making them.
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the videos! 🎹
I'm 45 years old and I have this dream long time ago to become one of the people who are talented in playing piano so now I am watching your program and your videos and trying to be a great piano player. Awesome ❤❤
Me too
Zach is SUCH a good teacher 😭. These tutorials are amazing - I am a complete beginner and his method of teaching is so practical and supercedes all other piano tutorials BY FAR!! The tutorials are so energetic that I stay engaged throughout and have fun while learning. Thank you Zach!
After watching these videos and practicing for a few days, I've come to realize my root frustration with learning the Piano. All of my teachers taught me how to "preform" but none of them taught me to play, create, and explore like these videos/resources have. My passion is back, thanks to you. Your teaching style is stellar.
I’m 70 years old and just started 4 weeks ago. Zach you make learning so much fun. Thank you for making it “understandable”. I’m getting there
Dude!!! I had purchased my keyboard a while ago and bounced around youtube a bit trying to learn, and then i ended up putting my learning on hold, I discovered you like 2 weeks ago and you inspired me big time, i never though a guy on youtube teaching this could be so cool. HaHa!!. and your cheat sheets are so F*#!in Awesome!!! Thank you so much.
Hell yeah, i’m also glad I stumbled with his videos
I always thought that learning to play the piano would be too difficult! At seventy seven years old I find these lessons awesome and loving them. Thanks Zach.
Zach your humor and energy is infectious! But from watching my first video of yours since quarantine began back in March of 2020, I’ve been hooked and subscribed. I tell others about your passion, skill and humor! Started playing keyboard on my iPad, then my hubby actually bought me a keyboard. I’m an absolute adult (ok, OLD haha) beginner & am now enjoying playing and even practicing. I’ve purchased some of your courses, very very reasonably priced compared to others out there. But never felt pressured to do so. I learned of your email availability because I chose to receive your emails, which do also keep me motivated to practice regularly, as this virus thing can weigh us down at times. But then I play a little something on my piano & my mood is changed instantly to one of joy. Thank you also for all the free ‘cheat sheets’ you offer. Please don’t stop sharing your passion. Please keep making videos for the world to enjoy and to teach the rest of us that we too can share the gift of music. You are a gift!
It’s the first time that I’ve watched a beginner’s video completely.. as for others i get lost in the middle.
Thanks dude 😎
I am over 56 and I need more time to learn it 😊. Thank you for this lesson. Yesterday I bought my first digital piano 😊😁.
For those of you out there that think learning to play the piano is an insurmountable task. I recommend you dive in and stick with it. I’m a 55 year old beginner, that has been playing for just over two years. Long short of it, follow Zach’s plan and download his free PSH class. I found him after two years of trying to learn in all sorts of ineffective ways he talks about. His classes are well thought, and full of basic important fundamental to get you started down the right path. It has worked for me. And I have since branched out to his other classes, theory, ear training and HT Domination to name a few. Which are all worth it! Plus if you have a piano related question he gets back to me in a day or two! Great stuff! The key is carving out practice time each and every day! Good luck and stay the course!
I’ve just started working in a nursing home that has a piano so I want to learn to play so I can entertain the residents. Your lessons are just what I’m looking for, so thank you for the content you provide. ❤
@lindatown, I worked in nursing homes for many years. Keep practicing, because the residents will absolutely love you for it. 😊
A a teacher in a totally different discipline, I appreciate the effort that you took to break down these lessons.
At first I thought you were like way too much energy but now I realize that you’re excited and a very good teacher and I love that for you *nasaly high pitched voice* . I like this Im getting it
This is exactly the kind of instruction I am looking for. I was a high school English teacher for 34 years and a basketball coach for 40 years, and I can see a real parallel between this and what/how I taught and coached. Thanks!
as a beginner, this is great, love learning, got to remember, I"m over 70 years old, so it takes me awhile, lol
I'm all over 70. I'm working on progress cheat sheet # 1 the catchy.Thanks for video from my sister. I'm going to hang in there.
Me too !
I am like Johnny Morgan I am 68 and It seems like its harder then it has to be please help
Johnny, I am so glad to see that there are some beginners that are in my age range. I am 67 and worried whether I am too old to learn, but I am willing to try.
I am 82 and it really keeps me focused. I am so blessed.
Too funny! Uncle Frank here Zach. I finally watched this video and it got me belly rolling. Love your enthusiasm! One of the best things that ever happened to everyone during the "Lockdown" was the explosion of artistic genius in all of us. I bought my keyboard and learned how to read music to help with the boredom. I found you and your positivity stuck in my gut (laughing). One and a half years later and I am still motivated by your enthusiasm. Thank you for everything you do for us.
Again and again and again, it really works. My hand coordination is much better from day one. I have one week done started of with the four chord progressions and now the sixth chord has come on so fast. True to your word, the more i practice my hands and fingers become easier to play. Second week ever playing the piano and i feel as if i had months of teaching. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. Your energy is so positive I Don't get bored at all, so delighted i came across your tutorials. 💛
OMG ZACH I GOT IT!!! You are the BEST PIANO TEACHER EVER I HAVE LEARNED SO MUCH FOR A BEGINNER
THANK YOU NEVER STOP SHARING YOU ARE SUCH A GIFT.
leveled up so much with this one. by the end of progression #1 i was playing with my eyes closed. the muscle memory part of your lessons help a ton
zack i got it
I have struggled to play keyboard for the last 20years but today I can play through your teaching.God bless you abundantly
Thanks my 5 year old with asd loves your videos and is learning fast. Wish you could see it. ❤
It's just so fun to lean with you and I can believe how much I have learned already by your kind of style in teaching!
I loooove your teaching style! I learned more from this video with the last segment than I have in an entire year. Thank you so much. Like, some of your other commenters, I am a slow learner and this was very helpful! Your passion for piano shines through!
At 62 years I bought a piano four days ago. I already sound like a true pianoplayer thanks to yout great lessons and "cheats". Thanks for your lessons from Sweden!
Just hit 60 years young and wanted to incorporate new songs with old. Beginners need to have fun. Can't wait to find one of my favorite songs to rock. Mahalo.
So glad I found this channel. I got my piano a week ago and really into it along with a guitar. Thanks man for putting this channel together. Now I can give piano a second chance and really enjoy it!!!
Thank you so much. I think I may have learnt more discipline whilst learning an activity in the two videos of yours I've watched than in my entire life... I'm 30😙😃😅🤟
Awesome Maya. Glad these videos have helped you! 🎹
Zach great name my sons name is zach..anyways I'm 49 yr old took piano when I was younger..my son got a keyboard and now want to learn how to play..been watching your videos and u r a GREAT teacher..thank u
That's awesome! Glad you find the videos helpful Joanna!
This year after having a piano for about 15 years ive decided to try and practice at least 2hrs a week. These tutorials seem very informative and breaks it down to a level I can get to grips with.
Your teaching method is so amazing. I really never thought that i can play the keyboard that easy and Sounds that good too. Thank you so much for giving me hope to continue learning . God bless you.
Hi Zach
Searched the whole internet and found finally your sheets. Brilliant and manny thanks. This is helping already it’s keeping it simple . John from the Netherlands 👍👌😀
The best Piano Teacher ever. Never knew that I can play piano one day. Thank you Zach for being an amazing teacher.
74 years young and can play with one hand but not with chords, this has been GREAT good for me...WILL CONTINUE TO LEARN YOUR SO MUCH FUN....thanks
well I'm in the house for awhile with the self isolation, so I've vowed to hang with you and do what I should have been doing all a long, practicing. I've sworn off Netflix and I'm going to hang out with you. I'm going to practice, I'll let you know how it's working out for me. You are doing a great job it's me not practicing. You make it so easy. Thanks I'm going to try to figure out some church music with the information you have so kindly provide. Thanks again stay safe y 'all.
Same here lol
X2
Me too!! It gets so tiresome to just keep lookiing for more shows to watch on Netflix or Amazon. I would much rather be improving my piano skills and having some fun with my own music. I just found Zach's video on progressions today and I have to say that I am excited and happy. I am going to play more piano and get outside for some exercise a bit more. --Good, positive changes for my life! Take care.
Sach as a complete beginner you are the most entertaining the best beginner friendly piano teacher I've ever seen
Wow if I'd have learnt as much as I have with you in the last 15 minutes in the 2 hour masterclass with Stephen Ridley I might just have been conned out of a hell of a lot of money. Thank God for YOU xxx
I think that I'm geting this. I haven't played in years and I'm picking up the piano again after years of being away. I sat down and did my scales but these videos are helping me jazz things up a little. Thank you for your videos.
That's a very cool video man...
Guys who ever is trying to learn chord progression .... Jus follow this video .... It's a real gift to piano learners... Hey btw.... I jus got all the 6 emotions and all the variations ryt and ryt again and agin
I've been struggling with this for the longest. Trying to play songs and having issues with remembering all of the chords for it. Thanks so much for breaking this down.
I can apply this on some of the songs I'm learning.
I got this now!
Great, i have to drink 5 hours energy to keep up with this video sooopper
I have played played drums and percussion all my life and thought there was no hope in learning a new instrument...your lessons got me from a zero to hero in a week!!! Thank for making it so easy and fun!!!
Zach is truly the best piano teacher on CZcams. good luck zach
I've been doing several chord progressions from these videos, definitely helps to understand better as I'm very much a beginner.
Great lesson. As long as I pause the lesson and practice each section for a few minutes as it's being explained I find that by the end of the lesson I can play along fairly accurately. This 30 minute lesson took about an hour with me learning as I go. You're a great teacher and I'm amazed at all I've learned in the past few days alone! Thank you!
Oh wow this is brilliant. I am a complete beginner. You explain everything so clearly and I love how you pause to let me practice and print FREE downloads. Thank you so much for your energy, enthusiasm, simple explanation and for giving your time. I really can’t thank you enough.
Hello...begginer here.33.frm Philippines I thought its too late for me to learn how to play piano but i think i got a good teacher.😊😊thank u for this channel.it helps a lot.
i've just started to play piano and your lessons are very helpful Zach, thank you!!!
Thank you so much. I love your tutorials; you are so funny & energetic. I love how you take extra time on editing to be very visual & detail, it helps a lot for beginners like me. You are awesome! Your tutorial videos are one of the best here in youtube. You deserve millions of views & subscribers. Again, thank you so much! :)
It’s tricky and I have been playing on and off for about 7 years but totally related to what you said on your email I received which was so incredibly inspirational. I already can feel where this is going to end and it’s really down to a new style of practice that is what no other videos can come close to. Excellent work and thank you again for re inspiring me to my piano 👍🏴
I am sitting watching this video now. Thank you for how you explain and how patient you are. I enjoy playing a practicing my keyboard again. Thank you.
Love this Guy, he is so gifted and he makes his lesson so easy too understand , Thanks for being an excellent teacher , your piano lessons rock!!!
Yes
Absolutely brilliant this is by far the best guy to learning to play the piano I’ve only done 2 days & I’m hooked.
Mark chelsea bully can you be friends with me please
Me too!!
WHY do you want to know him? do you like bullys?
Sitting in Belfast Ireland and doing a wee practice every day. You're a star. I'm actually sticking with it because you make it so easy.
Zach, I got it! and understand what you are teaching us in this lesson! it is great to have people walk you through something instead of getting right into what we're doing without a clear explanation.
thank you!!!!
Never in my life did I think I could play anything on the piano! You have helped my non rhythmic self so much 😢😂😂😂
Thanks Bailee. Glad you found the video helpful! 🎹
Thanks Zack, Another truly excellent video. You obviously put a lot of effort into making it.
Piano IS difficult to learn, but the systems approach gives us learners ways of playing a range of stuff, that is not just learning and forgetting individual tunes (story of my piano life). It also gets our fingers on the piano more, doing real things that really increase our abilities and thirst for more.
Zippy presentation. Good video skills also, very well put together. Nice one Zack
No problem! So glad you enjoyed the video 😍
I took piano lessons when I was 10 and I didn’t appreciate it then. I always hid from my piano teacher. Now that I’m 35, I regret not taking those lessons seriously. I wanted to re-learn playing the piano since I already forgot how to read notes. Finding your youtube tutorial is awesome. Maybe if I practice more, I can somehow relearn it from scratch. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
I have been wanting to learn to play for decades and just two days of watching this video my piano playing actually sounds like something
❤ I love your energy & positivity in the instruction, cuz you make learning easier & fun. I learned a new term for practicing small segments, you called it "chunking!" Ty so much Zack! You are the best!
Thanks. Glad you found the video helpful! 🎹
"In what world is that for beginners?" Ha ha so true😄
I know right?? 😂
Cheat sheets?
How do I download the cheat sheets
@@sheryldengler1772 in the link
Start over
ive searched for many piano teachers online and unfortunately i found you ,and ive been doing well since i started watching ur videos .thanks so much
Zach, you are a amazing teacher! Not only is the lesson very easy to follow, your approach on not just showing some notes, but explaining something about the chords so people can use what they learned in trying other songs. And..what you say on the end: how to showing practise!
I know my chords (i play jazz doublebass) , i know were the notes are, know the inversions and can lay them down (yet not in time though) on the piano but always wondered what to do with it … now i have material to exercise with. Thank you so much! This is a great start for me!
Ps, just watched your ted talk and not only did i totally like and recognise it, it gave me rudimental ideas about helping digistarters in healthcare were being able to use the computer is nowadays a necessity. (If any one has some ideas in line with this pianolearning approach, please let me know!
Your amazing teacher ❤ thank you I learn a lot ❤❤❤
Thanks. Glad you found the video helpful! 🎹
Great job of keeping it simple, easy to see & FUN! Great sense of humor!
Thanks !👌🎶
Zach!! You are a truly incredible teacher!! Love your videos - reignited my interest in piano after such a long while, you/your amazing videos are such a blessing indeed!! 💕
Got it! I love the fact that you mentioned that you watched a lot of video tutorials and get all the good things and dump the wrong things and create the best possible tutorial.
Where were you fifty years ago when my older brother and sister wasted my parents and piano teachers time and money which resulted in my younger brother and myself missing out on lessons. I wish you a long and happy life. God Bless you
GOOD QUESTION AS EVEN NOW MANY GUYS ARE DOING THIS...
Loveddd this lesson!! Thank youuu
Awesome, great to hear! 😍
Man, you're the best piano teacher on CZcams by far! I bought mine in the beginning of 2020 and started to watch you only now (2021). I've learned substantially more with couple of your videos than the 100's I've watched in the last year.
Thank you Zack I'm getting better watching you and following your direction I don't know when I'll be able to play in church for real but I do need a coach you're the only coach that I'm understanding right now
I’m actually shocked I sound like I can almost play. Great way of teaching. Thank you!!
Awesome. Keep up the great work! 🎹
Zach, if it wasn't for you I would've quit the piano a long time ago. I consider myself a slow learner, musically anyways, but you explain things so well and seem to really understand the beginner mind set that I really feel that I can learn the piano. Thank you so much.
Wow, that makes me feel really good that you're still at it learning, keep it up, and thanks for the kind words!
As a fellow slower learner, I agree that Zach explains things so well, that it helps me keep plugging on!
@@maureennishimoto7261 Hi Maureen, how long have you been trying to learn piano? Do you have trouble playing both hands together? I'm trying to play the scales with both hands together and it seems to be improving. I play my scales every night.
I , ever since I’ve been a child cannot read music , I’ve always played by ear . I love the piano and can play a little , just like hearing a tune , I could play on my right hand and do nothing with my left lol . For over a year Ive been trawling you tube , and watching one hour this guy , I can actually play chords and make sense in the piano . I’ve been using Phianoze also , but stick with this guy . I can now play Moonlight sonata lol . Thankyou x
Really good video by a talented presenter. I'm a 75 year old beginner of piano. I understood and completed the suggested programme in a few weeks. Not quite fluent enough to adapt it to a songs chord progression yet. That could be because I'm too young.
Age is just a number😊
You are THE BEST on presentation, content, quality, EVERYTHING!
THANKS!!! Realliy appreciate it :)
@@becomeapianosuperhuman6765 how can i downloa
Enjoyed your videos Zack! You made this dummy a master! Keeps it up! Don't stop;. Do more popular famous songs! And impressive chords!
Zack I love watching your videos . 73years old been practicing for more years than I want to count still not proficient . If I had an instructor like you I would be one of the best. Keep it up Zack ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️
loving your videos brother - i am a complete beginner and begun learning 2 days ago from scratch - i followed a lesson or 2 and already and i am improving loads - THANK YOU !! My dream is to play moonlight sonata and some Jazz - gonna keep following you and practicing ! so good
You've outdone yourself with this one, Zach! We all learned something and loved your jokes, too!
Good to hear!! Spent an ungodly amount of time editing this thing haha, so good to know it's appreciated :)
Help l don't understand anything
I am 16 years old. Thank you for the video tutorial, this is very helpful for me, who is a beginner. I really enjoy being able to play 4 notes at once thanks to your tutorial. Thanks a lot Mr.
I love the method you use to teach piano. I am 71 years old, have had piano teachers but none like you. Love your videos! Keep them coming!!!!!
Zack, I got it.
The hardest part is trying to find where I download cheat sheet as can not see the link. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
@jackie Simmons
I don't know if you found it yet but incase you haven't, the link is in the description box😁
Iv never regretted finding this channel Zack is a treasure
My wife got me a keyboard for my birthday last month and using this video as well as your cheat sheets to play has been instrumental 🎹 Thank you Zac!
I'm confused, I thought a C major chord is C E G?
same
There are many different ways to play each chord, you can play C E G or for eg. You can drop the C at the begining and play E G C,
i love this guy so much....... he is the true teacher........
Great content, I've been practicing scales on flashcards and now I'm trying to piece together chords- your tutorial's the perfect in-between- keep going!
Omg I have been learning the wrong way all my life, thankyou for showing these videos
Awesome Dee Dee. Glad you found the video helpful! 🎹
So much passion in it. I watched this piece from 4 am to 5am. I will try the emotional one on a kalimba later.
I love the way you teach, you take your time to show the notes to play where as others go so fast
Zach! I got it! Really, you could teach this to a rock. Your methods of teaching piano are groundbreaking! All the piano lessons I took in the past don't come close to the ease and simplicity of your lessons while making no sacrifices to the important music theory we all need! YOU ROCK!!
Thanks Bernie. Glad you liked the video! 🎹
This is great!!!!
I’m 70 years young and am working with my grandson. Neither of us can play but are off to a good start thanks
