Now drill the circle of fifths and fourths into ur head. backwards forwards and sideways. You'll soon figure out there's no such thing as a wrong note as long as you voice it correctly with the right timing.
took me about 10 years of messing around on my keyboard in my room to figure out the information in this video... awesome stuff. Wish I saw this sooner
I've gone through a couple videos explaining this, but this one was the most useful by far! Explaining foreign concepts to me in a super approachable way. We love to see it !
Your content is super informative and really helps make the piano less intimidating, wish you were around when I began playing haha. Keep up the great work!
I've watched so many lessons explaining this exact same thing (granted, guitar videos).. I just never knew it until now. This is the only way it's actually made any sense. Thank you!
Oh my gosh! This made so much sense! I've never had a video help tie up so many loose ends up in my brain. Thank you so much for your help! My journey to songwriting begins :)
This is one of the best videos on chord progressions. You literally made this super easy to understand and get. You gave text, examples, formulas, etc. Thank you!
I have been teaching my self on my stage-1 /Korg 88 key piano and until I saw your video it had been really tough. It takes the right person or coach to simplify a teaching lesson. "(Not just anybody can teach everybody)". "(Not everybody can learn from just any teacher)". It takes a click or complete understanding of how a lesson is taught to certain individuals.
omgg pls the wwhwwwh is so useful should've came here before getting embarrassed in my piano classsss 😩 brooo literally I've been cramming this for like a year and now here we are thankyouuuu
I started learning the piano not long ago but have found it to be rather confusing. Your tutorial just blew my mind, the way you explained the chords just made everything click. Would love to see more, definitely going to look into your Udemy course!
See most people teach and stare at you or shove sheet music in your face, the fact that he explains everything clearly and all you see is the piano and the intervals helps a lot.
This was incredibly helpful for a noob like me. I bought hundreds of dollars worth of musical software, with no clue how to use it. This really just helped a maaaasive amount.
Thank you, I can understand..I don't speak so well English but you don't speak so fast...Thank you very much..I 'am going to see more of your videos before subscribe...I like your way to teach...thank you..so much
Newbies should start here (being one, myself). I have wasted so much time watching other videos, which, as useful as they may or may not be for others or even myself, all just generally said the same things and fell a bit short in getting this stuff to stick for me (which may be, and likely is, of my own shortcomings). I feel like I have finally defeated stage one! lol Thanks a lot!
Know you were trying to keep this succinct so that people can see how straightforward you can get from little knowledge all the way to creating chord progressions on a piano, I would have just added a quick mention of inversions, especially since your final example used an inversion of three of the chords that you illustrated with... Just think it wouldn't have complicated the topic too much to share such an important point that chord progressions most often depend so much on the inversions used to sound as good as they do... For anyone not familiar with this; note how he is not playing the chords as he taught them earlier in the video when he plays his final example (at 6:00) using the I, iii, vi, IV in C Major scale, in that the I chord, the iii chord and the IV chords, if you look at what his right hand is playing in each case, the notes don't match the notes of those same chords as illustrated earlier in the lesson. Studying them a few seconds may reveal it's the same notes, just in a different order. The bottom line is that, if you play the required notes that make up any chord, with those notes scattered anywhere over the keyboard, it is still that chord, no matter how you may scatter them. This is an extremely important concept to understanding the power of chord progressions (why certain ones sound so good to us), of creating your own chord progressions, or replicating the chords of a song you like. You will likely notice that, for example, playing all the correct chords for your favorite song, using their "root positions" -- as he built them first in this video, where a C chord has the C note as the lowest note -- most likely won't sound like they do in the song you like. You can easily demonstrate this power to yourself, by creating any simple 2 chord progression (like his I chord to the iii chord) and then playing it using different inversions of those chords. You will quickly realize how many different combinations there are, and, more importantly, how different so many of them sound. Behind these sounding different is how our ear interprets the lowest and highest pitches we hear when a chord is played. So an essential "secret" to creating chord progressions for songwriting, is to come up with not only a sequence of chords that you like, but specific inversions of each chord that not only sound best as you move from chord to chord (to you the songwriter, and to be successful, your audience!), but that also magnificently support whatever melody you come up with... As Hans Zimmer would say, it's all about Story. I'm sure this is all covered in your later videos and want to pass on I was impressed with how succinct you did make a progression from understanding scales to making basic chord progressions!
You're welcome! Also keep in mind that the two most important notes for how you arrange the notes in the chords you play, are the Top and the Bottom notes (this becomes bigger when you start playing two handed chords, where notes are more spread out and you start potentially having notes appear more than once, such as playing the C note twice in a large two handed chord of C). Often the top notes will be the melody at times, or enhance it, and the bottom note forms an important pattern moving from chord to chord. For example, it is very powerful to have a bottom note that moves chromatically (half steps ascending or decending) or diatonically (with scale tones ascending or decending). That is not to say that the bottom note cannot make jumps, but jumping all the time will be less powerful.
as someone who is self-taught with keys, this really helped tie everything together
Yup
Same with guitar, I can connect the pieces now.
for sure mann
Now drill the circle of fifths and fourths into ur head. backwards forwards and sideways. You'll soon figure out there's no such thing as a wrong note as long as you voice it correctly with the right timing.
@@mir.9805so you know the pieces fit?
Damn in this single video,
One with zero music theory can create some awesome progression...
So well planned and well explained..
Just by watching this video you actually learn a bit of music theory
took me about 10 years of messing around on my keyboard in my room to figure out the information in this video... awesome stuff. Wish I saw this sooner

You are an amazing dude for making this video.
Oh I finally got how to make a proper chord progression! Thank you!
6:00 pretty sure he just accidentally created the chord progression of The Office theme.
😹
Lol
Ikr?! My mind automatically played the harmonica sound after he played it
You are genius!! You made this look so easy. A dumbo like me could follow this!! Terrific:-)

@Samuel Powers I have very poor impulse control. I sing and such, and wanted to learn. It's hard to learn without something to learn with.
I like the way you explain and thanks for your patience and time to teach us. God Bless You.
Anyone else hear Daily dose ?

B Miller That's great to know, thank you!
Hi pls I need your help
thank you for sharing!
I just use a scale and then fill in what ever notes sound good together as a chord
a drawback to that strategy is that you wont use notes outside the chromatic scale, which leaves you without augmented or diminished chords.
This helps a lot, even if I'm not writing songs. XD
what a sick vid!
ty so much
nice! just not long enough to get more tips! need more pop songs to work with! do more uploader!
i like how you played the intro of naked at the end :)
honestly helped me understand it much better lol
Thq! Dudu! Love you for your video your soon to reach nic no of subs
thanks a million..
