Your videos are excellent bro. You offer a Bible's worth on information.. and break it down with so much concise detail. and when you put those sticky dots down.. you're spoon feeding us in a way that really gives us a chance to absorb what you're showing.. IT'S GREAT TO FIND SOMEONE ON HERE WHO REALLY WANTS TO TEACH.. Thanks so much for these valuable lessons.. i've subscribed, watched, and liked a ton of them Peace
Very helpful. Actually I started piano almost two years ago, and I used your video to learn my chords. I found it to be one of the best on the Tubes and I made good progress. Merci. I've had a couple lightbulb moments recently. Each principle chord has a minor 7 chord contained within it. You can change the chord simply by changing the bass note. A I changes to its relative minor by playing the vi in the bass, the V with the iii and the IV with the ii. Maybe other people learned that earlier than I did, but it's nice to spread the word.
Good to hear from you again, Lawrence, always enjoy reading your comments. Yes it's always helpful to spot patterns like that and chords hidden within chords. Once you start, you'll see them everywhere!
J’ai une question. Comment choisir les positions d’accord adéquates quand on s’accompagne pour chanter? On choisit la note qui colle à la mélodie ou pas? Merci ã vous! 😊
Do you consider the shapes/fingerings for particular chord inversions to be identical in your mind at a practical level, regardless of the root/key you select? For example, a root position C major triad looks different than a root position Db major triad on the keyboard, because of the inclusion of black keys. However, those two major root position triads are fundamentally the same thing in terms of their intervallic structure and general shape/fingering (e.g., I would use fingers 1, 3, and 5 in the right hand to hit a root position major triad, regardless of where the chord is rooted). Because of this, I have always been told that each inversion "feels" the same under the fingers, regardless of whether black keys are included in the triad. Thus, as long as your major and minor inversion shapes are "in your fingers", you can reconstruct the appropriate chord inversion by feel when given any root. But to me, the inclusion of different black notes in every different key makes it seems like each key uses slightly different shapes for these inversions, and thus one would have to practice these shapes in all 12 keys to truly get them down. I have heard this practice recommendation before and see the value in it (but coming from guitar, it seems wild). To this end, I've been practicing cycling through one type of major triad inversion with roots going up chromatically so that I can start to "feel" these commonalities in shapes across keys, but was curious to know your thoughts on the matter as it relates to productive practice. Hopefully this crazy word salad makes sense. Thanks for your content; great stuff.
Yes and no I suppose. The shapes appearing different on the keyboard itself in different keys is certainly one of the challenges of learning. At first, yes they all seem different, but with enough experience, your brain gets more and more used to it, you start to see the commonly used shapes as the same thing, you see the same spacings (intervals) between the notes whether they are black or white. That being said, it's only up to a point, the more complex a pattern becomes, the harder that gets so I guess we all have a level of ability when it comes to how quickly we could transpose something to another key. And of course, playing a whole piece of music in another key can sometimes mean a change in technique too.

@@chantalnadeautoutsimplement Je suis débutant, mais il me semble que tu ne veux pas jouer le note du mélodie. Laisse le voie libre pour la voix.

What about quartal harmonies?

I mistakenly press two keys when I need to play one key
