    In this video I answer a very commonly asked question - how do I transpose a chord progression on the piano? It is a relatively simple process, it just requires some practice.
    The first thing to do is make sure you are familiar with the key that you are transposing to. The next thing you need to do is to learn all of the chords as their chord number. Once you have done this, move to the new key and play the chord numbers that you have previously worked out.
    I go over a couple of different examples using common chord progressions so you can see exactly how to do it.
    If you have any questions just leave them in the comment box below.

      Many thanks, I've been looking for "piano music chords and lyrics" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Nonason Ranincoln Genie - (should be on google have a look )?
      It is a good one off product for discovering how to play the piano like a pro minus the hard work. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my partner got amazing success with it.

  • @cpfeifer8263
    @cpfeifer8263 Рік тому

    Wonderful - I am very excited to find this - but, it is too fast for me.
    I need to write this all down, write down the notes, and look at the keys to see which key is which.
    Writing and looking at the screen at the same time is difficult, and I miss something.
    Repetition is really important - this is all NEW to me.
    I want to stay with this and learn it. I'll keep watching - and hope I can watch the first lesson until it is second nature.
    And I will be practicing for sure.
    Thank you.

    • @Piano_Pig
      @Piano_Pig  6 років тому

      That's okay you can still learn just as much from the internet. You just need to make sure you aren't missing any important parts of playing such as scales and theory.
      What sort of troubles are you having with chord progressions? I am here to help :)

  • @robinshyam8881
    @robinshyam8881 6 років тому

    Sir, How to remember chord progression? I always used to forgot chord progression when I play keyboard . Actually I don't know the theory of chord progression. C G Am F= Sir, How G comes after C, Am after G and F after Am. Any formula is there to memories chord progression.

    • @Jays8397
      @Jays8397 6 років тому

      Robin Shyam just write in down on a paper if u can't memorize. And different placement of progression gives different feeling like C G Am F, i can change to Am F G C, Am F C G, F G C Am, C F G Am etc, u can add other chord inside to improved like F G Am, F G Em7 Am7 Dm G C etc
