Piano and Guitar: Tips for Playing Together

- Playing piano with others can be a challenge. Whether you're accompanying a singer or playing along with a guitar or another instrument, this video tutorial will give you some tips and ideas on dos and donts.
The main goal when collaborating with other musicians is to complement - and compliment :) - each other. The best way to do this is to stay out of each other's way. No, I'm not talking about packing up your portable Steinway and walking away; I'm talking about playing in different frequency ranges or using a very different accompaniment pattern, or anything that can differentiate the two of you.
The other option is for you two to be in perfect sync: play the same accents, change chords in exactly the same time and work together to build up a "wall of sound", a concept which has been popularized by Beatles' producer Phil Spector.

honestly can't thank this guy enough for teaching me something everone else seems to think is common knowledge. As a guitar player, nobody gets deep into how duets work and only into solo use of said instrument. this will help so much with the piano sound I'm trying to implement. Thanks man.
The problem is most musicians don't have basic decency. They're rude. They want to be heard and never think of the total outcome as a whole.
Couldn't have said it better myself, too many forget there's more than just a front man or guitarist making the music. Again, thank you for the video :)
MangoldProject i have a band mate who play organ and i play electric guitar i have mo idea how since im not used to it. I just tell him that we need to press the same chordshapes. But i heard that we still classed what should we do
@@MangoldProject true brotha.
Appreciate Video clip! Forgive me for the intrusion, I would love your opinion. Have you researched - Riddleagan Possessing Piano Remedy (do a google search)? It is a good one off guide for learning how to play the piano easily minus the hard work. Ive heard some decent things about it and my friend at very last got amazing success with it.
You presented three options not two :o
HOW TO NOT CLASH IN MUSICAL ARRANGEMENT:
1) different freuquency playing
2) different rythm
3) playing a 100% in sync ( more for super professional players-eexample ACDC Black to Black)
THANKS A LOT THIS WAS SOOO GOOD! SUPER SIMPEL, JUST THE NECESSARY INFORMATION- LOVED IT! THANKS
TRUE GENIUS CAN EXPLAIN SIMPLEEE!!! :)
I've played piano like 30 years. Lead worship music at a church for a couple years . But I was raised on classical. This video is so helpful. Thanks ! I'll probably watch a few times.
This is a brilliant lesson. I play with a band in church and this is really helpful. Thank you!
The result of standing in front of many Marshall amps during many practice sessions :)
Man this was really eye opening for me trying to learn how to combine sounds more effectively in a production situation. Stellar content as always dude thanks!
Pog
great video - helped me lots. I'm a guitarist (unpopular figure from almost all the pianists here) who plays with pianist at church. It sounds great when piano and guitar play together in their respective frequency.
And absolutely terrible when you're the guitarist trying to follow the drums and the painist is in their own world 🤣.
what was that random applause at 4:58 hahaha nice video
LOL
Its to mark the clip for editing process.. the clap can be seen in audio wave
@@adarqiz4dzlaeff lol that's why it seemed so NPC-like.
P.S. Great vid, just what i was looking for :)
loved the tutorial... and the cat too
My cats have cost me more failed takes than I care to remember ...
Pussy makes the world go round'
When is the cat

If me and my cousin who plays guitar tried to duet it would be like mixing sugar and pepper then putting it on lasagna
Underrated comment
Same bro, I'm the pianist and my cousin is a guitarist
Love the organ option, fits and sounds great
Thank you. I wonder about what makes my band sounds "like a war". Hope after applicate this, my band will sounds better. Thanknyou for the lesson. This is so priceless.
4:22 6:05 7:33
Thank you! This tutorial was both incredibly useful and entertaining. 8 years late to the party, but I will definitely be using this advice, when I play with my bandmates and friends we sometimes clash, as you put it, so this will be some interesting stuff to try out! I'll probably combine a bit of the two options, if I'm being honest, especially since option two is pretty hard to maintain 😅.
Amazing! The clashing is like imagining and extra pair of hands taking up the piano! I've just taken up piano as a hobby recently and the notions explained in your videos are easy digest.
You are brilliant. I have struggled with this for so long.
I play guitar with a pianist often. I tune my guitar to DADGAD tuning, which gives me more interesting chords that sound great with my pianist. I also simplify rhythm when I strum, and will fingerpick or play whole-note strums in a drop.
Thanks for the tips! I find that strumming can be complex, but the more complex it becomes, the more important it is that the keyboardist either "dials down" his own complexity, or matches yours exactly.
Aw cool...thanks for that...thats awesome too...✌💜😃
That's exactly what has lived in my head for so many years but i haven't been able to explaining properly! Thanks
Thank you for putting this lesson together. It is extremely helpful!
Excellent tips! I play with guitar players all the time ! I will us these tips ! Thank you!! Lee
Blessings to you brother, such an amazing topic and explanation is marvellous. You tube should give you an award for this creativity.
so simpel and so cool thank you a lot ! perfect! no unnecessary informations just on point love it!
Thanks heaps...this bit of info was exactly what I was looking for...I much appreciate your generosity in sharing your knowledge...kindest regards Mel from Australia...✌💜😃
exactly the video I was looking for considering the piano its a full spectrum instrument and the guitar takes basically the same freq range that normally a piano plays. Thank you so much for this
Still playing?
@@AirsoftStriker Yes I am.
Actually at the moment I am fortunate enough to be playing in a band with a fine guitarist. I tend to have a rather dry sense of humor at times, please accept my apologies if I have offended any of you competent guitar players out there. Then again, if the shoe fits... Great posting by the way.
Thank you so much for your most interesting tutorials!!🎶🎹
YOU SAVED MY LIFE THANK YOU
Got any more tips on this subject? I have been looking for this for a long time. And the funny thing is when you ask a teacher this they can't explain it nearly as simple as you just did.
One more tip: turn the guitar player's amp towards him. That will make him play quieter and save you from ringing in your ears :).
Lovely lesson. simply splendious.
Awesome video, a very important topic that not many explain.
It’s a treasure😍
Thank you for this video it’s priceless!
one way that I deal with this scenario in a band setting (with at least an acoustic and electric gtr) is to not only alter my voicing but also the chord qualities. for example for the C chord using a C2 or Csus or extended chords with melody and ear guiding what I will actually play
Thank you for doing this video I can’t Wait to Play with my friend
Thanks a lot . My friend and I play over the Same chord progression and our sound always clashes. I was looking for something like this :)
It was very very helpful. Thank you!!
You're the man, this is gold!
The pun is not lost upon me.
You’re a great teacher, very knowledgeable
Nice! Another way to plY along with a guitarrist is playing the scale notes two octaves apart in each hand.
Thanks! This was very helpful
This helped me so much!
thank you so much for the video
Really helpful. Thanks buddy❤️
Love your tutorial Thank you
very useful tips. Thanks!!
This is a well thought out refresher course for a studious engineer.
Not sure engineers were my target audience, but what the heck :)
This is awesome
Great lesson!
Thank you for this interesting (and entertaining) video!😊
can you make a video explaining how or when you can do all those pass notes or whatever arregment u made between chords?
Can you make a Piano and Bass : Tips for playing together. That would be awesome !! Please !
+Juan carlos Cruz de los santos Ok, I'll add it to my queue :)
It would be easier if you make a video of full band + piano in different styles so se can see how it’s the best way to play with different voices and such. You can make an entire series and that would bless many many lives
Was that guitar part played with a capo at the 5th fret?
+Powerflare Why yes! Good call :)
what is this witchcraft?
If you're used to play guitar you recognize the sound.
Also, the chord voicing, aka the notes actually played, which are stated at the beginning of the video wouldn't make sense on open strings!
fikradas all the more trouble the capo makes the guitar even less audible and limits the rage of frequencies heard
Wow man thanks a ton!
Which listen should i go to if i want to play the chords like u did ? on the piano of course
yeah so that when you're playing with the band,the rythm sounds clean and smooth. That's what I'm doing if we were on jamming.
Good video , learnt something today
Organ works good for sustained noted
Thank u very much for the time spent on this video tutorial . Please how can u do the guitar struming for piano separately from slow to fast in an easy to understand manner?
every tips are worthy brother
Just what i needed
I really like playing guitar. :)
Thats right guitar is the best good thing im guitar player
Awesome! Thanks for this :)
+Max AnimePianist My pleasure!
Very helpful...Thank you so much !! can u pl upload some more videos on the same topic with different examples?
+Sasmit Rudra I'll look into it. I've played with plenty of guitar players and think I have some good insights to offer. However, the basic ideas always stay the same: either be really in sync with the guitar player, or stay out of each other's way.
Thanks for you reply!!!
great video!
Thank you. That helps alot
thatt's very helpful! thank you
Thank you!
Bro thank you so much!!!!!
Very clearly explanation. Thank you. Lovely kitty BTW :-))
Hey,thanks for the tips!
I am a singer, guitarist and also I have been playing piano since one year now.I used to mostly accompany my voice with guitar until indidn't learn piano but now i carry both-my guitar and piano with me in gigs to give different flavours in different songs that i sing ,since some of the songs are upbeat and some are mellow.I want to make myself better at accompanying my voice with piano.I own a PXS 3000(casio) which also has the capability to layer strings/organs/pads and many other tones over it.Could you suggest me how i shall approach for now?I mean should I also take care of the layering and stuff since i love it in live performances or should i only work with piano sounds for now?It's a 2 man band-I handle the piano/guitar at once and i have an accompanist on tabla with me.
🙏🏻please help
Wow, I love you!!!
very helpful. Thanks!
+James Carlo Carilo No problem, glad I could help out fellow musicians.
Can you please post how you played the piano with the guitar but only the piano bits on its own? the 2 hand sync was brilliant on its own!
I strongly recommend all the guitar players here to try some fingerpicking. It gets 100 times easier to play along with the piano than while using a pick
An option I didn't see you know that is determine who's going to play Melody line who is going to play the chords. So when your face the piano play The Melody line
Subscribed !!! Want tips on playing piano with a gospel singer(Using bass guitar on the left hand).
Very useful!!!
+Veranek Happy to hear :)
Hello and thanks for that. I play classical guitar and my sister piano. I've trying to find some nice melodic songs to play together (including singing), but I can't seem to find any. Do you or anyone else here have suggestions?
thank you for this tips..Godbless
Thank you sir
Thanks for this :) can you please make a more detailed video about left hand progressions. right now i am limited to playing a chord at its root position or one of its
inversions or in an octave form. what i want to say is, that while playing a chord with left hand my hand position is static.I can arpeggiate, but it will be using the same notes which i held at first. How do i bring a motion at my left hand playing? I really want to improve it by like playing the root note at the lower register and then playing an arpeggio one octave higher and move one octave more. while playing the same chord. and make the rhythm sound connected for all chords. what should be the finger positions to be able to play like that? as currently even though i can figure out in my mind what notes i have to play, i am unable to do so. maybe due to wrong finger positions. Thanks!
+Abhishek Verma Hi Abhishek. I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for, but I'll try and think of some ideas. If there are any specific videos/patterns you have in mind share a link and I'll take a look.
thank you
The way you play your chords sound very nice and fluid. So are u using the inversion chords? BTW thanks for your videos, I watched them all, very inspiring, sweet and perfect.
Yes, I use inversions all the time.
nice job
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Option #4: Tell the guitar player to play with the cat instead.
Plunderkid this is a good comment
Thanks for the Video clip! Excuse me for the intrusion, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you tried - Deyvelynar Celebrated Dominance (google it)? It is an awesome one of a kind guide for discovering how to learn the piano fast minus the normal expense. Ive heard some decent things about it and my m8 finally got amazing success with it.
Thank you..!
+Lord Jack Happy to help out.
Nice thanks, 👍 I'm a beginner at piano
brilliant
So basic but so helpful.
Very important for pianists and guitarists to learn how to play together. Typically guitars follow the rythym/beat of the drums. At the small church i used to play guitar in, I'd tend to get thrown off by the piano and loose track of the drums.
She was definitely playing as if alone lol and drove me nuts🤣
Man, a crappy band member can tank a band. I've suffered through similar cases ...
How did u record the guitar ? Cable or Mic
Nice...very helping vdo
+Tania Ghosh Thanks Tania.
great video
+J. Charles Thanks!
very useful thank you, im trying to play with my brother and it wasnt goingwell
Great lesson mr. I`ve been thinking a lot on the subject, and the only solution used was the third one, hehehe. Thanks for the lesson and keep it up!
If the piano is the dominate instrument, and you want to play along with them, such as in a gospel song, how would I play the chords on guitar?
Listen to the song is a guitar even appropriate?
As sad as it is, as guitarists we must simplify our strum pattern even down to one strum per chord to accompany a piano leading more complexly. Generally, as the complexity of one instrument rises, the other instruments simplify.
Or play "popcorn" notes. Works really well with soul music
@@jonathanmounce6008 I love being a pianist😎
Piano is Mother of all instrument but guitar is like evil of instrument no acoustic electric xD
Master, oh wise one teach me your ways
8:52 look at this cute cat over there😍
Clearly option #3 is superior ;)
+Kyle Hohn Easier said than done, though!
Can I ask which voicings in the guitar ur referring to with order of the notes u mentioned?
Dear Mangold,
I believe you are the ideal person to propose a third way to accompany a guitar .That is playing in the same spectum but with rootless chords .I shall be glad to hear something about it.
No, even rootless chords will clash if they're occupying the same frequency & rhythmical ranges. It doesn't matter if they contain the root or not. Rootless chords would be a good idea to play when jamming with a bass player, though!
I would like to strum like this 5:09. Will try by ear. I'm a guitar player try to strum on keyboard. :)
