Hey Zach great teaching man I always wanted to learn how to play the piano ever since I was a kid this video was fun and very helpful keep making these videos for beginners
Thank you so much for your tutorials. I've seen others beginer tutorials and they play two-three keys at once or they go too fast! Your lessons are perfect. For the first time in my 46 years I can sit down and learn to play our beautiful 120 year old upright piano that we saved from our neighbours, that were going to chop it up for firewood. She does need a bit of a tune but the two pedals still work! So playing the C,G,C,E combo is giving me hope!!! I'm so excited!
Thank you 1,000 times. I bought a piano 23 years ago and am terrified of it. Instead of encouragement, I got ridiculed by family, friends and even a music teacher. Now that I have found you and when no one is around to hear me, I am playing this first lesson over and over again at 70 years of age. It made me so happy, I cried. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I will continue to use your lessons every day.
Best wishes, peaches! I'm 70 as well. Have a brand new yamaha keyboard, still in the box, I got for Christmas 10 years ago. I hope we both enjoy this journey and hope we can stay in touch and encourage one another! Best to everyone here!!😊
I'm hella depressed and need to get involved in something to get out of my head a bit. My job has a grand piano that patrons and workers can sign up to use. I decided, "why not?", so here I am for my first lesson.
I’m 24 and I’m in college. Since I was a kid I always wanted to be a pianist and we grew up poor so I never wanted to burden my mom with asking her for one. But after i got my associates I decided to get myself a 61 key Yamaha keyboard and your video helped me understand how to play. I feel like a child again. Thank you.
i'm 28, i have wanted to learn piano my whole life. my partner just bought me a beautiful keyboard and this is the first video i have ever watched to learn piano. i am amazed how simple it was to learn the chords, this video is such a great help for me and i believe you have really set me up with great foundations for this new adventure i am embarking on. thanks so much to you. this is amazing. i am so excited.
Anyone else here because they never had the opportunity to play an instrument as a kid but now as an adult you do? I always wanted to play piano, we couldn't afford one or lessons My wonderful husband got me a keyboard and now I can finally play 😊❤️
I hope you've enjoyed learning thus far! Like you I never learned to play an instrument despite growing up in a household that highly valued classical music. Unfortunately my mother viewed everything outside of studies as a distraction that could impede academic performance. Forty-odd years later, I'm finally ready and have time to learn due to a recent diagnosis of cancer. My dream is to learn to play at least one sonata by Mozart (in C Major, K 545) and Beethoven (Moonlight sonata) respectively before I shuffle off this mortal coil; so here I am with my clumsy, old fingers trying to fulfil a dream, albeit a modest and rather banal one...
Same here my friend. When I was little my parents couldn’t afford a piano. So I gave up on piano. But now my husband bought a keyboard for our 2yrs old daughter…and I’m very excited to learn how to play myself. Good luck to me!
Back then, my parents promised me to take a piano course. Then suddenly turned back on me saying that we actually dont have the money to afford it. I was very disappointed at that time :(
I m a beginner at age of 55, trying to learn piano and for that searching out a coach on net. I must say today my search is over at your channel. Your way to coach is energetic, very clear and both these makes learning interestingly easy. Thank you so.. much.
Yes, this a great material but if you need an additional or alternative coach, follow my channel, I've been playin g for years and will be creating content around learning to play as well as going live so that viewers can play along.
I have been a criminal spending over 10 years of my life behind bars for fighting and being an idiot. I sat behind a drum kit and learned to play not very well but I can play. I never in a million years thought I would be able to play piano especially not enjoy it. When I tell you this I want you to believe me, the feeling I felt learning to play this was indescribable. I felt like crying. To me, this world was so far away. Now I’m sat in front of my keyboard enjoying something I never thought possible. Thank you. You’ll never know how much this has done for me.
Thank you for making these videos, I'm 62 and on my first day with a piano (electric) and look forward to learning from you. I like this style of teaching.
I totally love the "dog" trick for learning notes. One of the ways I was taught is to look at the 2 black keys as chopsticks and the 3 black keys as forks. Just to the left of the 2 is c for chopsticks and to the left of the 3 is f for forks.
Great idea! A lot of ppl also see the three black notes as a "house" so at the start it's the "Front Door" (F) and then on the right is the "Back Door) (B)
My brother took his life and he loved piano. This first lesson is for him and learning not only for him but for the memory for my family knowing him to be pianists. I hope to stay consistent and become pretty good at this. R.I.P. this one for you🎈❤️
Lessons are expensive and disruptive to working parents, UA-cam is such a blessing. Our daughter is homeschooled at 6 and if we paid for lessons for everything (piano, Spanish, Muay Thai, jiu jitsu, etc.) and had to travel for all of it we couldn't get what's best for our daughter. With stuff like this online you're truly changing lives!
This is great! I'm 46 years old, I've been playing drums since the age of 11, and I've always wanted to learn the piano, and this video is really helpful me locate the notes and the beginner pieces are really breaking in my fingers. I can play fast and technical stuff on the drums, but this is a new beast to take on for me. It's a challenge, but I love music, so I'm enjoying it! Thank you! I will keep practicing too!
I've also been drumming for a while now and decided to give this ago! What is it do you think that attracts drummers to the piano? (I've seen several people in this comment section alone who also play the drums)
@@thebeardsgarage Absolutely! He sure did. And the original drummer for Matchbox 20, Paul Doucette, became their full time piano player maybe like 10-12 years ago.
Just got a keyboard and started playing again after 50 years. I found your channel and it's great. You explain everything so well and it's so easy to follow along. Keep up the great work. Love it.
all I've ever wanted was to play music for my own enjoyment. when I took lessons as a kid/teenager I felt so much pressure and ultimately failed. this video is awesome and gave me the opportunity to achieve something simple on a musical instrument. I'm definitely subscribed now. thank you so much!
Teenager now but originally had been enrolled in piano lessons but lost I interest quickly. I've always wanted to play piano but my progress was so slow to where it should be, I came across your videos and learning these patterns actually helped me build a little bit of confidence. Thank you
I am learning after more than half of my life has already passed. I always wanted to learn it but either did not have the resources to buy a piano or did not have time. It’s my time to learn it now. I appreciate how you made it so easy to learn it. ❤❤
Wow, I started taking piano lessons 2001. I think I lasted a week. I started again May 2023. It seemed like climbing Mt. Everest. I was getting frustrated. The instructor was great. It was just I saw a long a tedious journey ahead of me. I googled piano lessons and your youtube video popped up. OMG I'm motivated again and you gave me hope. I look forward to learning from you. Thanks. You are blessing me.
I have been playing guitar for over 40 years and dabbled with keys when I was a kid, but lost interest. Now I want to get back into keys and this lesson is a great first step to get familiar with the keyboard. The last bit of advice on this video holds true in learning the guitar as well. Do NOT mimic or try to figure out a song based on chord charts or tabs. You will not learn the song without any feel and you are learning someone else's interpretation of the song which may be completely wrong. Learn your chords and their positions and you can get your favorite songs down so much easier.
I’m 70 yrs old and always wanted to play piano. Never had the opportunity as a child. Had a brain tumor. Had surgery a year ago. Now just trying to play a little bit for my own enjoyment. Thank you for this instruction! Wish me luck.
@@becomeapianosuperhuman6765 Thanks for the video! John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Hi , I am from India . I have learnt classical Carnatic music for a few years. After coming to the USA, I wanted to learn keyboard (I tinker with it , play songs but without harmony) I wanted to learn chords but was intimidated by the score sheets - you channel is awesome for people like me to learn chords without having to learn reading notations !! 🎉
I bought a full scale electric piano from my nephew recently. I did a search for piano lessons. This one came up. I have been a musician playing stringed instruments for many years. I've always wanted to learn to play piano, and this video series is just what I need. My daughter is learning too. Thanks for these videos. They are helping me immensely.
Okay I just did this on my family's electric piano and sounded way more impressive than I have any right to after playing for literally five minutes 😂. I'll definitely be checking out your other videos.
I’m in my first week and very excited! I’m a beginner, and I’ve tried and given up once, as I couldn’t learn the notes (in 1 day lol), but I’m so impressed with your method of teaching. I can already play a few things and that’s amazing in a few days!
I'm a music producer that have been playing for years and will be creating lots of content on my channel about learning the piano. I see you are a singer/songwriter. Follow my channel, I believe it will be a good source to knowledge and inspiration. Thanks!!!

I have been wanting to learn piano for years but have never really had the motivation to do it. I decided, screw it, Im starting today. I head off to college in a month and I want to learn how to play before I leave as a party trick sort of thing. Wish me luck UA-cam!
Zach, I wanna thank you so much! I am a beginner and absolutely loving your videos - your generous, amazing and helpful content made simple and fun - true mastery on your part. Too many make it complicated I agree. Hey Zach, your light and passion shines through! Thank you, so grateful to have found you. Keep up this amazing creations and teachings. much love, Thuvaraka x
This is by far the best way I've seen someone teach the piano... even over me!😁 I'll definitely be adding this kind of teaching to my teaching style. Thanks a ton man... you earned a sub
Thank you. 66 years old here, and lost my son in March, so I needed some motivation just to even turn his keyboard on. I'm very excited to get started.
Thanks a lot WE have a piano at home for years that we've bought for our daughters for their piano lessons but they have stopped from longtime so somehow going through your piano lessons on UA-cam I'm overjoy of learning new things in life
I'm just getting interested in learning how to play the piano and you sir have explained beginner fundamentals extremely well thank you for this! You have earned another subscriber.
I wished of playing piano but I couldn't afford one until my first salary at 24 I bought one, and this is my first tutorial video I ever watched. Thank you. Will watch this over and over
Congratulations on your purchase. learning to play is very rewarding. I'm a music producer and have been playing for years and will be posting lots of content on my channel about learning to play as well as going live and playing so that viewers can follow along. follow me if you'd like another source of lessons and inspiration. Thanks!!!
Thanks Zach, Really like your teaching method. I just turned 65 & got a keyboard controller. This is what I should have done years ago. (I don't want to say bucket list, it's too depressing :) I've taught guitar & bass for 45 years & came to the conclusion students need to learn to play, hear & feel music first. Once they have achieved this learning to read music, (traditional notation) is easy. When parents play with their children they teach communication first. (Not just speaking but listening also). Once that is happening then & only then can they teach them to read & write. Thanks again, B.F.
Thank you so much....i'm 60 yrs old and have wanted to learn to play a piano since my school days. Now that i have retired, have longed to fulfill my dearest wish. My husband encouraged me to search online and wham!!!! my teacher is here!!!! Please dont stop with your teaching❤❤
I just ordered my first keyboard off Amazon. I've been watching some different piano lesson channels. Just came across yours and it's great! Been playing guitar for years and always loved the piano. I cant wait to start. Definitely going to be watching a lot of your tutorials! Thanks 🙂
Excellent! I'm also a beginner, I started learning drums almost two months ago, the husband bought a kit and I've been learning on it. I also want to learn on piano on the Yamaha keyboard my husband got me for Christmas 2 years ago poor thing has been sitting in a corner neglected for those two years. Have you started yet?
My Mom passed away earlier this year…she always wanted me to learn to play the piano - even buying a beautiful piano for my sisters and me when we were jst kids. That piano is coming to my home…and at 53, I’m going to learn how to play - I always regretted never learning how to play. I am so grateful for your videos - thank you.
My mum passed away 7 years ago and like yours, she wanted me to learn piano. I tried but then gave up when it got too difficult. I really regret it. I haven't got her old piano but my dad just gave me a Donner digital piano and I'm trying again. I'm 52. I hope you are enjoying learning. It has to be enjoyable and I'm just taking it slowly. Good luck
Never had a lesson in my life, watched the video twice, and after about 45 minutes of practice I sound smooth as butter. Amazing. Thank you for the video. You are a gifted teacher.
This lesson is way better than the other one I just watched. I'm producing and like to make my own chords as opposed to sampling so this is going to be awesome
Came across this by accident scrolling at lunch. I'm going to try this as soon as i get home. No piano, but i have a keyboard. Learning to play the piano is on my bucket list. I'm 57 so i need to get started. I wish my mom didn't let me quit lessons when i was little. I've made my mind up that I'm going to play Christmas toons by November! Wish me luck. 😊
Just a few days ago I've bought myself a Synthesizer Casio keyboard, because I decided to learn to play the piano/synthesizer. So it will me be busy for a while aside being bored what to do and buying stuff, look at it and put it aside. Now I can be busy for days, weeks, months and maybe years. Now I find your video to play a melody as a beginner and it worked for me. Thank you for this video, because some friends are impressed by the first results of playing the piano/synthesizer.
You’re the best! I’ve been playing for 2 years and finally started performing in front of people and it’s 😧. Hopefully it gets easier the more I do it. Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you SO much! Piano and Keyboard are my dream instruments, and now I can finally begin to play! My mom loves this song and I can't wait to teach my siblings!
Wow! I got my first ever keyboard today and and the same time i learned how to play basic simple chords from you. Even my son learned very fast. Thank you so much
My youngest, age 9, got very excited about piano lessons potentially being available at the school in the new year. If enough kids sign up. Wouldn't stop talking about it (less than 2 weeks) He got a $50-key board for Christmas on Sat. And didn't want to put it down. Found your video. Had him give it a try tonight. He watched it twice. Has figured out which keys are what and actually played the patterns you go through 2 times, with the last going by mostly memory, correcting himself when he played the wrong note. Look forward to seeing where he goes with this and where he will be by the time lessons if they start in the new year.
I've just found this at 23 years old. I played when I was very young but stopped and have always been sad about that. Monday starts a new semester and I will have access to the piano at school. I'm going to commit to learning. Thank you for your simplicity of explanation
Im 74 soon.. thinking of learning to play the Piano..i hope im not to old 😭. Bot my children play the piano... They are adults now with their family..they have busy lives.. I would love to surprise them..thats my new years resolution to learn. Thank you Sir.
I always wanted to learn an instrument and I had the opportunity to learn a little bit of the recorder and piano while in elementary school but never continued to practice once the class was over. Here I am at 26 years old going through a mentally tough time. I decided to deactivate social media and spend my free time working on myself and learning an instrument is one of the ways. Thank you for making it easy! I’m excited to see the progress after a few months
I’m new to playing an instrument and the piano has always caught my attention and now I want to learn how to play. Im not in a rush. Thank you for this video!❤❤❤
@@becomeapianosuperhuman6765 hey!! I just wanted to keep you updated on my piano lessons. I’m learning how to play my first song called Paralyzed by NF. I’m actually improving! With that being said, I just wanted to say THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEOS!!! Your videos have been very very helpful!!! Watching your videos has taught me a lot and will continue to watch them. ❤❤❤ keep up the great work! And hope everything is well for you! 👍 💪 👍 🙏
As someone who used to just mess around on the piano ive grown a love for it i never thought id have, this is my first lesson and im excited to do more! Thank you so much
All I have to say is you are dope🎉 I have ADHD and if someone like me at 46 years old can learn those chords that quick that says a whole lot about the teacher. Thank you. That was pretty cool.
Thank you so much I just got a piano today and simply piano didn't teach me much but only the basics but after finding you, you helped me play with 2 hands now thank you so much I'm glad I get to learn with a professional 😊
Mine arrived 3 days ago. My wife and I always wanted to play and now we have the opportunity. Thank you for these initial lessons. Looking forward to make it a huge part of our lives ❤
Thank you so much for this informative and easy to understand and apply video! I’ve always thought i am not musically inclined. I can’t read notes what more play musical instrument but recently I’ve been intrigued with the piano. At 38, I am deliriously happy I managed to play some tunes from this video tutorial and it was my first time ever touching the piano! Something I thought was impossible before. I’ll keep practicing and learn other techniques and chords as I progress. Thank you so very much for this video!!!
I play this on my strat to learn the fretboard and arpeggios #1 - cge - c major triad #2 - cgd - csus2 triad #3 - cge - c major triad #4 - cgf - csus4 triad
I have tried watching so many videos about piano to grasp a basic concept to understand using acronyms- Zach has been the best. You use simple language to make me remember and try to memorise and understand the patterns- Additional the energy you put in each videos is quite exciting.. i dont know how times pass by.. earlier I used to spend more time on insta which adds no value but now I am finding something productive where i feel am making good use of my time- thank you so much for yhe efforts.❤
I always look at the piano as an impossible to learn, I might not get to be a Mozart, but with your easy and simple explanation of every key, now I don’t feel intimidated by the piano, thank you 🙏
You’re an excellent teacher. I just have to keep stopping and starting your instruction you are going so fast lol but I cannot believe I’m learning that fast! Thank you so much you are a wonderful teacher!!!!!😊
Thank you so much for all of your videos! You are an outstanding teacher! I played a little bit when I was in elementary school and forgot everything. Now as an adult I wanted to get back into piano. I stumbled across your UA-cam channel and now I can play a couple of simple songs that sound really impressive! Thank you so much again!
This was awesome. I used to play piano as a kid and I have wanted to get back into it for so long. This video was not only informative but super inspiring. Instant subscribe. Thank you.
Wow thank you!!! Best lesson I've seen! I will practice this for the next week and come back to the next vid. This is so awesome and gives me motivation to get out of paralyzing depression
How long did it take you to learn this. 🤔 Been doing for about 30 mins and can do it slowly and know the melody without the sheet. But nowhere near to perfection. Obviously it will take longer than 30 mins to get it brilliant, just wondering how long it takes other people.
I am soooo excited! I've always wanted to learn to play the piano. I encouraged my son and grandson to learn, and they did. Now it's my turn at 62! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I started following you a couple of weeks ago and what an inspiration you are my friend , you explain everything so clearly, I've just purchased an 88 weighted yamaha keyboard so let the learning begin I'm in this for the long term
This is so fun~ I played the accordion for 5 years when I was a kid, so I'm good with the right hand. My left hand is still looking for buttons! I think I can work through that with these videos. Thank you so much for teaching us!

My condolences for your brother. But follow your own passions, not others. Only continue learning if it's something you want for yourself.
I’ve played piano for about 16 years now but I’m trying to help a friend learn and I found this pretty helpful to explain things!
Glad it helped! 🎹

Kindly help me also
Jesus saved me three years ago, and I have always wanted to learn the piano. I’m here for my first lesson to start learning old hymns. Praise God!
Jesus or the doctors or whoever actually saved you

Whatever you do, do it for the glory of God! Keep it up!
Lessons are expensive and disruptive to working parents, UA-cam is such a blessing. Our daughter is homeschooled at 6 and if we paid for lessons for everything (piano, Spanish, Muay Thai, jiu jitsu, etc.) and had to travel for all of it we couldn't get what's best for our daughter. With stuff like this online you're truly changing lives!
So true.
This is great! I'm 46 years old, I've been playing drums since the age of 11, and I've always wanted to learn the piano, and this video is really helpful me locate the notes and the beginner pieces are really breaking in my fingers. I can play fast and technical stuff on the drums, but this is a new beast to take on for me. It's a challenge, but I love music, so I'm enjoying it! Thank you! I will keep practicing too!
How much more have you learned since, and can I get some good links. First timer without a musical bone
Hey Ben Folds was a drummer who became a pianist!
I too have been drumming for many years and finally decided to give this a shot!
I've also been drumming for a while now and decided to give this ago! What is it do you think that attracts drummers to the piano? (I've seen several people in this comment section alone who also play the drums)
@@thebeardsgarage Absolutely! He sure did. And the original drummer for Matchbox 20, Paul Doucette, became their full time piano player maybe like 10-12 years ago.
Just got a keyboard and started playing again after 50 years. I found your channel and it's great. You explain everything so well and it's so easy to follow along. Keep up the great work. Love it.
Me too I have started back.
all I've ever wanted was to play music for my own enjoyment. when I took lessons as a kid/teenager I felt so much pressure and ultimately failed. this video is awesome and gave me the opportunity to achieve something simple on a musical instrument. I'm definitely subscribed now. thank you so much!
Starting today...yey! My bday present for me...I'm 62 and a beginner...❤
I got my first lesson for Christmas, I’m 63.
Sending encouragement and support!
Me too ❤
Teenager now but originally had been enrolled in piano lessons but lost I interest quickly. I've always wanted to play piano but my progress was so slow to where it should be, I came across your videos and learning these patterns actually helped me build a little bit of confidence. Thank you
Glad you found the video helpful! 🎹
It's ok to go slow as long as you're learning n growing regularly
I am learning after more than half of my life has already passed. I always wanted to learn it but either did not have the resources to buy a piano or did not have time. It’s my time to learn it now. I appreciate how you made it so easy to learn it. ❤❤
Wow, I started taking piano lessons 2001. I think I lasted a week. I started again May 2023. It seemed like climbing Mt. Everest. I was getting frustrated. The instructor was great. It was just I saw a long a tedious journey ahead of me. I googled piano lessons and your youtube video popped up. OMG I'm motivated again and you gave me hope. I look forward to learning from you. Thanks. You are blessing me.
I have been playing guitar for over 40 years and dabbled with keys when I was a kid, but lost interest. Now I want to get back into keys and this lesson is a great first step to get familiar with the keyboard. The last bit of advice on this video holds true in learning the guitar as well. Do NOT mimic or try to figure out a song based on chord charts or tabs. You will not learn the song without any feel and you are learning someone else's interpretation of the song which may be completely wrong. Learn your chords and their positions and you can get your favorite songs down so much easier.
I’m 70 yrs old and always wanted to play piano. Never had the opportunity as a child. Had a brain tumor. Had surgery a year ago. Now just trying to play a little bit for my own enjoyment. Thank you for this instruction! Wish me luck.
You make it so easy to learn. I don’t have a piano yet, but after watching your video, I’m getting me one. Thank you!
Awesome, glad this inspired you to start playing! 🎹
I borrowed a keyboard it works really well! Then there's this guy making it look super easy I'm inspired!
@@becomeapianosuperhuman6765 Thanks for the video!
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
I just bought a Roland FP10-ACR at Costcos... the best entry weighted keyboard I've discovered. I can stop playing one i found this website!
Love his editing style like how he reminds us to like like the pointer like him taking his time to teach love love love
Hi , I am from India . I have learnt classical Carnatic music for a few years. After coming to the USA, I wanted to learn keyboard (I tinker with it , play songs but without harmony) I wanted to learn chords but was intimidated by the score sheets - you channel is awesome for people like me to learn chords without having to learn reading notations !! 🎉
Awesome Laxmi. Glad you found the video helpful! 🎹
I bought a full scale electric piano from my nephew recently. I did a search for piano lessons. This one came up. I have been a musician playing stringed instruments for many years. I've always wanted to learn to play piano, and this video series is just what I need. My daughter is learning too. Thanks for these videos. They are helping me immensely.
Awesome Jimmy. Glad you found the video helpful! 🎹
Thanks!
Just bought me a keyboard yesterday. THIS IS the lesson i started with. I got it down! day 1. Easy and sounds cool. Highly recommend!
Amazing, excited to hear you nailed the lesson on day 1! Glad you liked the video 🔥
Which keyboard did you get? How’s it
Going a month later?
This is the beginning for me! The mystery of playing the piano is now revealed! Thank you!
Okay I just did this on my family's electric piano and sounded way more impressive than I have any right to after playing for literally five minutes 😂. I'll definitely be checking out your other videos.
I’m in my first week and very excited! I’m a beginner, and I’ve tried and given up once, as I couldn’t learn the notes (in 1 day lol), but I’m so impressed with your method of teaching. I can already play a few things and that’s amazing in a few days!
If you gave up after 1 day, I doubt you have the temperament to be good at anything.
@Mat Broomfield seriously dude
ok
As a singer/songwriter, I am expanding my piano knowledge learn chords and their letters by watching impressive videos like this
Thanks Yung. Glad you found the video helpful! 🎹
I'm a music producer that have been playing for years and will be creating lots of content on my channel about learning the piano. I see you are a singer/songwriter. Follow my channel, I believe it will be a good source to knowledge and inspiration. Thanks!!!
If you want to learn how to play piano just stay on the piano for all course and practice. You will be amazed at what you will accomplish! ua-cam.com/video/kZeI90o-VEU/v-deo.html
If you also wish to learn how to play the piano:
-Start with the Basics: Learn the names of the keys, basic music theory, and how to read sheet music. Understanding these fundamentals will make learning more complex pieces easier.
-Practice Regularly: Consistent practice is crucial. Aim to practice daily, even if it's only for a short period. Regular practice helps build muscle memory and improves your skills over time.
See you guys when you can play your favorite songs effortlessly and feel amazing at the piano!
Thank you
Had access to lessons as a kid, but was so unmotivated by learning sheet music. Excited for your videos, thank you.
Rock on! So glad you enjoyed the video
@@becomeapianosuperhuman6765 what made you want to do this? Offer quality content for free? (I know you're selling too, but it's gracious how much free content too)
I have been wanting to learn piano for years but have never really had the motivation to do it. I decided, screw it, Im starting today. I head off to college in a month and I want to learn how to play before I leave as a party trick sort of thing. Wish me luck UA-cam!
Zach, I wanna thank you so much! I am a beginner and absolutely loving your videos - your generous, amazing and helpful content made simple and fun - true mastery on your part. Too many make it complicated I agree. Hey Zach, your light and passion shines through! Thank you, so grateful to have found you. Keep up this amazing creations and teachings. much love, Thuvaraka x
This is by far the best way I've seen someone teach the piano... even over me!😁
I'll definitely be adding this kind of teaching to my teaching style.
Thanks a ton man... you earned a sub
Awesome! Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video! 🎹
You're a great teacher &
I love the contents you're providing to the world, anyone who watches your videos will definitely gain lots of piano skills

Thank you. 66 years old here, and lost my son in March, so I needed some motivation just to even turn his keyboard on. I'm very excited to get started.
Hugs.❤
Thanks a lot WE have a piano at home for years that we've bought for our daughters for their piano lessons but they have stopped from longtime so somehow going through your piano lessons on UA-cam I'm overjoy of learning new things in life
I'm just getting interested in learning how to play the piano and you sir have explained beginner fundamentals extremely well thank you for this! You have earned another subscriber.
Awesome. Thank you! Glad you liked the video! 🎹

I wished of playing piano but I couldn't afford one until my first salary at 24 I bought one, and this is my first tutorial video I ever watched.
Thank you.
Will watch this over and over
Congratulations on your purchase. learning to play is very rewarding. I'm a music producer and have been playing for years and will be posting lots of content on my channel about learning to play as well as going live and playing so that viewers can follow along. follow me if you'd like another source of lessons and inspiration. Thanks!!!
Thanks Zach, Really like your teaching method. I just turned 65 & got a keyboard controller. This is what I should have done years ago. (I don't want to say bucket list, it's too depressing :) I've taught guitar & bass for 45 years & came to the conclusion students need to learn to play, hear & feel music first. Once they have achieved this learning to read music, (traditional notation) is easy. When parents play with their children they teach communication first. (Not just speaking but listening also). Once that is happening then & only then can they teach them to read & write. Thanks again, B.F.
Thanks, Bill! That's awesome! 65 and still learning, LOVE it! 🎹
I recommend calling it a "fuck-it list", where the goal is to do things on the goal in a few years, instead of you know.
Just got a piano for Christmas and this is the first tune I have played - loving it.
Thank you so much....i'm 60 yrs old and have wanted to learn to play a piano since my school days. Now that i have retired, have longed to fulfill my dearest wish. My husband encouraged me to search online and wham!!!! my teacher is here!!!! Please dont stop with your teaching❤❤
I just ordered my first keyboard off Amazon. I've been watching some different piano lesson channels. Just came across yours and it's great! Been playing guitar for years and always loved the piano. I cant wait to start. Definitely going to be watching a lot of your tutorials! Thanks 🙂
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed the video! 🎹
Which keyboard did you order? I'm planning on the same.
I just got a keyboard too ! So excited to learn ! Never played anything before. Can’t wait!
Excellent! I'm also a beginner, I started learning drums almost two months ago, the husband bought a kit and I've been learning on it. I also want to learn on piano on the Yamaha keyboard my husband got me for Christmas 2 years ago poor thing has been sitting in a corner neglected for those two years.
Have you started yet?
@@charlottesmom I did, I'm really enjoying it. It's a nice change from playing the guitar 🎸
My Mom passed away earlier this year…she always wanted me to learn to play the piano - even buying a beautiful piano for my sisters and me when we were jst kids.
That piano is coming to my home…and at 53, I’m going to learn how to play - I always regretted never learning how to play.
I am so grateful for your videos - thank you.
I’m sorry for your lost stay strong and blessed 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I’m so sorry for your loss. May she Rest in Peace. I’m always here for you. ❤️
My mum passed away 7 years ago and like yours, she wanted me to learn piano. I tried but then gave up when it got too difficult. I really regret it. I haven't got her old piano but my dad just gave me a Donner digital piano and I'm trying again. I'm 52. I hope you are enjoying learning. It has to be enjoyable and I'm just taking it slowly. Good luck
I literally just spent more than an hour on my first piano and learned this, went from horrible to actually making it sound decent. Thank you!!
Never had a lesson in my life, watched the video twice, and after about 45 minutes of practice I sound smooth as butter. Amazing. Thank you for the video. You are a gifted teacher.
The best 13 mins of my life ❤
This lesson is way better than the other one I just watched. I'm producing and like to make my own chords as opposed to sampling so this is going to be awesome
Awesome!! Glad you find this lesson helpful! 🎹
You are that genius of a teacher, who can make a million people want to learn piano.
Thanks Srinivas. Glad you found the video helpful! 🎹
You are the best Piano Teacher ❤
Thank you, Suresh! Glad you enjoyed the video! 🎹
Came across this by accident scrolling at lunch. I'm going to try this as soon as i get home. No piano, but i have a keyboard. Learning to play the piano is on my bucket list. I'm 57 so i need to get started. I wish my mom didn't let me quit lessons when i was little. I've made my mind up that I'm going to play Christmas toons by November! Wish me luck. 😊
How did it go?
Just a few days ago I've bought myself a Synthesizer Casio keyboard, because I decided to learn to play the piano/synthesizer. So it will me be busy for a while aside being bored what to do and buying stuff, look at it and put it aside. Now I can be busy for days, weeks, months and maybe years. Now I find your video to play a melody as a beginner and it worked for me. Thank you for this video, because some friends are impressed by the first results of playing the piano/synthesizer.
You’re the best! I’ve been playing for 2 years and finally started performing in front of people and it’s 😧. Hopefully it gets easier the more I do it. Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you SO much! Piano and Keyboard are my dream instruments, and now I can finally begin to play!
My mom loves this song and I can't wait to teach my siblings!
Wow! I got my first ever keyboard today and and the same time i learned how to play basic simple chords from you. Even my son learned very fast. Thank you so much
Awesome Shane! Glad you found it helpful! 🎹
My youngest, age 9, got very excited about piano lessons potentially being available at the school in the new year. If enough kids sign up.
Wouldn't stop talking about it (less than 2 weeks)
He got a $50-key board for Christmas on Sat. And didn't want to put it down. Found your video. Had him give it a try tonight. He watched it twice. Has figured out which keys are what and actually played the patterns you go through 2 times, with the last going by mostly memory, correcting himself when he played the wrong note.
Look forward to seeing where he goes with this and where he will be by the time lessons if they start in the new year.
I've just found this at 23 years old. I played when I was very young but stopped and have always been sad about that. Monday starts a new semester and I will have access to the piano at school. I'm going to commit to learning. Thank you for your simplicity of explanation
Fantastic tutorial. Gets a little basic concept across but makes you feel like you've accomplished a lot in a short amount of time
This was incredibly interesting. Now that I’m retired I want to learn how to play the piano. You’re an excellent teacher!
Im a bass player but I just got a midi keyboard and this lesson just gave me the courage to keep learning piano! Thank you so much for these videos!
Im 74 soon.. thinking of learning to play the Piano..i hope im not to old 😭. Bot my children play the piano... They are adults now with their family..they have busy lives.. I would love to surprise them..thats my new years resolution to learn. Thank you Sir.
I always wanted to learn an instrument and I had the opportunity to learn a little bit of the recorder and piano while in elementary school but never continued to practice once the class was over. Here I am at 26 years old going through a mentally tough time. I decided to deactivate social media and spend my free time working on myself and learning an instrument is one of the ways. Thank you for making it easy! I’m excited to see the progress after a few months
So cool! I said 10 minutes practice for my first day and I am already 33' min haha You are an awesome teacher, mate!!
Awesome Eduardo. Keep up the great work! 🎹
You’re awesome, I’ve been trying to learn on my own and just having you break that little bit down taught me a lot..
Awesome Brandi. Glad you found the video helpful! 🎹

As someone who used to just mess around on the piano ive grown a love for it i never thought id have, this is my first lesson and im excited to do more! Thank you so much
You're very welcome! You can do it :)
All I have to say is you are dope🎉 I have ADHD and if someone like me at 46 years old can learn those chords that quick that says a whole lot about the teacher. Thank you. That was pretty cool.
You are such a fun teacher. Thanks for your generosity and great personality
For sure Marilyn, so glad you liked it!
First day sober and I’ve had this keyboard forever. Let’s do this.
You can do it, I have faith
Thank you so much I just got a piano today and simply piano didn't teach me much but only the basics but after finding you, you helped me play with 2 hands now thank you so much I'm glad I get to learn with a professional 😊
Awesome. Keep up the great work! 🎹
My 7 year old son has been wanting to play piano and now he finally can because he said you take everything slow and steady. Thank you!
Mine arrived 3 days ago. My wife and I always wanted to play and now we have the opportunity. Thank you for these initial lessons. Looking forward to make it a huge part of our lives ❤

Thank you so much for this informative and easy to understand and apply video! I’ve always thought i am not musically inclined. I can’t read notes what more play musical instrument but recently I’ve been intrigued with the piano. At 38, I am deliriously happy I managed to play some tunes from this video tutorial and it was my first time ever touching the piano! Something I thought was impossible before. I’ll keep practicing and learn other techniques and chords as I progress. Thank you so very much for this video!!!
Awesome Lola. Glad you found the video helpful! 🎹
I play this on my strat to learn the fretboard and arpeggios

#2 - cgd - csus2 triad
#3 - cge - c major triad
#4 - cgf - csus4 triad
I have tried watching so many videos about piano to grasp a basic concept to understand using acronyms- Zach has been the best. You use simple language to make me remember and try to memorise and understand the patterns- Additional the energy you put in each videos is quite exciting.. i dont know how times pass by.. earlier I used to spend more time on insta which adds no value but now I am finding something productive where i feel am making good use of my time- thank you so much for yhe efforts.❤
Wow this was the easiest guide I've watched so far on day one piano! Thanks so much.
I always look at the piano as an impossible to learn, I might not get to be a Mozart, but with your easy and simple explanation of every key, now I don’t feel intimidated by the piano, thank you 🙏
You’re an excellent teacher. I just have to keep stopping and starting your instruction you are going so fast lol but I cannot believe I’m learning that fast! Thank you so much you are a wonderful teacher!!!!!😊
Thank you. This has brought me so much joy. Will practice this for a week. Then move on to day 2. Current challenge is the speed.
This is excellent, I can see you thought this through... best videos I've seen us for beginners 👌
Thank you so much for all of your videos! You are an outstanding teacher! I played a little bit when I was in elementary school and forgot everything. Now as an adult I wanted to get back into piano. I stumbled across your UA-cam channel and now I can play a couple of simple songs that sound really impressive! Thank you so much again!
This was awesome. I used to play piano as a kid and I have wanted to get back into it for so long. This video was not only informative but super inspiring. Instant subscribe. Thank you.
Awesome Preston. Glad you found the video helpful! 🎹
Wow thank you!!! Best lesson I've seen! I will practice this for the next week and come back to the next vid. This is so awesome and gives me motivation to get out of paralyzing depression
You are an amazing and enthusiastic teacher I anyone would want to learn from. Thanks a ton for this free courses.
This is the greatest piano lesson I’ve ever taken. I was able to play my first ever real melody. Thank you so much.
How long did it take you to learn this. 🤔 Been doing for about 30 mins and can do it slowly and know the melody without the sheet. But nowhere near to perfection. Obviously it will take longer than 30 mins to get it brilliant, just wondering how long it takes other people.
@@nikitadenny2964it as 15/20 minutes for me, I'm a beginner and I've never played an instrument before.

This is so fun~ I played the accordion for 5 years when I was a kid, so I'm good with the right hand. My left hand is still looking for buttons! I think I can work through that with these videos. Thank you so much for teaching us!
