My #1 Beginner Keyboard Recommendation
As a beginning piano student, you need a keyboard that has 88 or 76 keys, weighted keys, and is affordable. I've found the best value keyboards are Yamaha's.
Here is my top keyboard recommendation.
Yamaha P-125

This is a great keyboard for a beginner and also a great keyboard to grow into.
Hey everyone, good to be back! 5 years is way too long. Here's the link to the Chord Formulas Handbook:
musiciansinspired.lpages.co/chord-formulas-handbook/
I have a lot of content ideas in the pipeline. Concepts I still don't see on UA-cam and concepts I think could be taught better. Expect more content coming your way!
Very well done!
thanks ❤
Thank You very much!!!
When will the pipeline throw out its co tent, please?!?!
ähm, ... content!
This is absolutely astonishing. I've been at this for decades and this is the clearest and most comprehensive and succinct introduction to chords I've ever come across. In summary, it's an educational masterpiece. My compliments (and gratitude!) to the chef.
TOTALLY AGREE!
+1 brilliant presentation, the cleverest people are the ones who can present sometimes confusing concepts in an easy to understand manner.
yes... I have been in and around this subject on UA-cam since late 2000s -- and I have been checking now and then - and this Guy has it all so comprehensively - giving away so much info for free is like GOD sent...ahahaha.. thanks brother...!!!
I totally agree, this video is my reference for learning the chords 😊 well done!
Where were you when I was an aspiring piano player with, what I know now, a bad teacher? I learned more about this in a 30min video than 3 years piano lessons.
Ive been doing this for most of my life and I can honestly say, this channel is the absolute truth.
Awesome ❤
facts
High Praise bro! I've been following you for years myself
Facts bro & this ish is free! Unbelievable
This has got to be the most straight forward and comprehensive explanation for chords and their notation that's (relatively) friendly and understandable for new learners on the entire internet.
100% agree as someone learning this stuff, self taught. A lot to take in but certainly doable.
I just happened to stumble across your video.. I am a private teacher in my 56th year of teaching…yes I am passionate about teaching. I explain to my students everything you are showing in your video. And I create worksheets and videos to show this. Your video is much better looking than mine. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Ellie
He is a tasteful pianist as well as a clear and knowledgeable educator. A relief to find a genuine musician who actually knows what he's talking about and can present useful material rather than the often confused and mediocre material available.
I've watched soooo many videos, understood them, understood theory, have 2 years of music school and theory, school band, my own bands, 50+ concerts but man, this video gave me much more
Blown away with you. This is SO CRYSTAL CLEAR!! 😭😭😭 You have such a gift. And THANK YOU FOR THIS BOOK!! OMGahhhh!
Good morning! I have been study music chords for over 5 months and I failure to reach my goals. Today (3-16-24) I found your video (and thank you very much for the free handbook, it means a lot to me) and my music prospect has change from D to A. Thank you for you kindness attitude to share that knowledge. It help me a lot, you do not have idea. Now, I feel more confident to be a successful person in my classes goals. God bless you!
This video is going to be THE legendary UA-cam lesson about chords for coming years. (And I can't explain how timely this video was for me) (Also, this was posted after a 5 year gap? wow)
This is the most rewarding one hour i spent on UA-cam. The way you explain the theory is genius🎉
As a jazz musician, this is amazing! I would suggest making a part 2 to this video using some basic standards implementing your teachings, and also making a part 2 of how you can learn to comp using simple block chords and maybe teaching basic alternate voicing that a typical jazz pianist would use! Similar to your intro of "Someone to Watch Over Me"
It's like the brain is receiving everything you are saying. Can't thank you enough. Bless you bro. Keep up this awesome work ❤
After spending several days streaming videos to learn about the basic piano system to help me progress, this is the best one. The instructor broke down the system progressively and incrementally built the learning based on the previous knowledge. You will find ease in listening and understanding without the need to stop the video and wonder about an unfamiliar term that suddenly pop up from the instructor which makes you go somewhere and search an answer. Apparently, that was what I did in other videos, not this one. Thank you very much!
This is the truest, clearer, honest, simplest, detailed, compressed, and entertaining at the same time in one video. ❤
I just want to say, "Thank You!!!!"...your knowledge of music theory and concepts, and your ability to easily present and explain them in a comprehensive manner, is, in my opinion, "unsurpassed".
I mean, there are others out there that probably have equal to or similar knowledge of the subject matter and I'm sure a lot of us are familiar with them by name, and they're good people, however, I sincerely don't think any of them teach as well as you do. I've learned so much so quickly simply watching your video.
I have referred so many people to this video, and they too by their own admission say they've learned so much so quickly.
I not only have a solid grasp of Music theory and chord structure but I can literally apply it and I can play better and I can play pretty much any song on the piano.... And I've only been playing self-taught for about a year!
Thank you again I look forward to more of your content..
😂
This my second comment about this video because i NEED you ti understand just how DIFFERENTLY you have been able to put this all together with the CLEAREST MOST LOGICAL associations that has probably ever been written.
Think about this: music books and textbook companies have FOR YEARS tried to accomplish what you have done here. Please dont discount this for exception because it is similar to how you were taught it. Maybe so but probably over months not in ONE HOUR!
TRULY A SPECIAL METHOD. May you become wealthy for your contribution to society.
Man... What can I say.. You really gave us a clear, grammatical projection of the piano theory. I am an absolute beginner and with this video I have all I need to learn with clarity and really metabolize all these intricate concepts. I huge thanks for you dedication and time spent for all of us. Absolutely sublime..
This is incredible useful information for constructing chords. No-one can put it together better than you, Rob. Thank you so very much. Dee
I can't thank you enough for clarifying these foundational concepts that have been overly complicated by mostly everyone. You have made me gain more faith in myself and made me believe that I can actually do this, no words to explain how relieved I am right now. Thank you so so much.
As a self-taught pianist, my brain is not braining
real
I think it’s important to add that when omitting notes you can very well omit the root note of the chord so long as the bass player is covering that note, for example if a song has a Cmaj7 in it, the guitar player could just play an Em7 chord and the bass player could play a C note and the listener would actually hear a Cmaj7 being played. It’s actually very useful to do this in a song I feel it frees up space in the lows mids and prevents muddiness (clashing of frequencies) it could be used this way in a song: during verses the guitar could just be playing an Em7, but during the chorus for could then switch to playing a Cmaj7, along with the C on the bass for added energy.
Respect for this guy for making the handbook free for everyone❤️
The best piano tutorial in chord theory! Thank you I have been praying for a system or formula for understanding extended (7, 9, etc.), augmented, diminished, etc. Chords
I HAVE TO SAY... I PLAY KEYS ALREADY AND STILL FOUND SO MUCH REINFORCING KNOWLEDGE AND JOY FROM YOUR METHOD OF TEACHING. AMAZING VIDEO... GREAT JOB. ADAM IVORY.
THE MOST important take away from this video for me is the walkdown, i used to think it's all about top most note to carry the melody but you made it easier for my little brain to comprehend.
I watch it many times and i give my time for seeing the advertisement as i try to say thanks for ur hard work 😊
This is an amzing video, in every aspect. It shows that you are a perfectionist and I can‘t imagine how many takes and small adjustments you made to be happy with the result. Just wow.
This was so helpful thank you. Much easier to visualise chords now!
I’ve spent t 30 years playing guitar. Today I finally leaned what the stuff I’ve been reading means.
This has been the most informative, densely packed and useful content on music education ive consumed in probably 10 years. Respect you so much for teaching this in such a perfect manner.
Wow, I've learned so much in an hours time,. You indeed have the gift of summarizing complex terms and make them understand able to myself a beginner. The best I've seen so far.
I am a beginner in music, and would a test that you are a great teacher. Covered so much in a short time that I could read jargon that are difficult to understand.
Truly greatiful.
I know how to play the piano reading notes and I play guitar with chords since the era of the Beatles but notes for classical pieces for guitar solo. Never had formal studies of music theories just what our mom taught us when were little, basic note reading.
I wanted to learn how to play chords on the piano many lead pieces but never understood nor managed to play chords on the piano for a simpler way of playing a variation of any piece. I've seen so many videos and this is best , clear explanation and well illustrated that I have encountered right from the beginning of your video .❤ ❤❤❤🎉. Finally, I understood all those numbers. I've been wanting to play my compositions from my guitar to the piano. Thank you very much! You are indeed a great gifted teacher.
Rob, Welcome back, we have missed you. Ready to learn something new. Thanks. Great Lesson.
Thanks! Will be experimenting with different types of content for the "new UA-cam"
Great lesson,l always wondered how it worked. I must watch it until it sinks in. I wish l had seen this years ago.theres a lot to take in.
Are you going to do more videos like this? Are you going to do one on voicing?
What an impressive teacher you are!! Perfect explanation and organized delivery of these concepts. Thanks 🙏
Omg thank you so much for these formulas. Understand how these chords were formulated helps a great deal, rather than straight memorization.
An impressive amount of information told in such a streamlined way and demonstrated flawlessly.
Will definitely keep this in my piano handbook of videos ^^
You are such a patient teacher, I really learned a lot from you. Thank you so much.
Your way of explaining all of the keys chords and symbols is the easiest to understand. You did and excellent job! You made me feel like it was easier than I thought as you were patiently and effectively breaking it down.
Thanks. Now that's what I call building the proper foundation in understanding the basics of the piano keys.
Wow, thank you so much. I highly appreciate the detail put into the video and handbook. Also the clarity and consideration for different ways of learning the chords 😊
This is easily the most epic music learning videos Ive found on youtube. Kudos to you bruv. That was cleanly explained.
Very very cool summary and concepts of thinking !! Thank you very very much for this !! 👌👍👍
This is 🔥. From basic to advance chord theory in an hour. Thanks 🙏🏿
I'm so glad I found your video at the very beginning of my piano learning, I feel like in one hour I've learned so much that might otherwise have taken weeks or months. Thank you so much!
I've checked a lot of videos on UA-cam because I really wanted to learn the piano so bad, and this is the best Chord lesson I've seen here on UA-cam!
Thank you so much for sharing! 💯💯💖💖
This is so far the best music theory I’ve ever had keep it up plz❤
Great workshop! Been through it twice already (while using my keyboard). Probably will come back to it. Got your excellent Chord Formulas Handbook. Thank you so much! 🙏
This is by far the best, most informative video on chords I've ever seen, bar none. Thanks!
Genius is making the complex simple. Very easy to follow. Thankyou!
I think this is called instantantly falling in love with music...... im a little busy, so i play a few songs by hearing only with the melody, and for the cords, i will see youtube.... i have searched what a cord is, and how many types are out there? But no clear explanation..... this video is so good that i am watching it with full concentration..... before this, i thought to lay down and just sleep after watching enough youtube videos..😂..... finally gotacha man .....love you.... and can u pls do some videos on how to play the cords with the meoldy ...... it would be a great help for my improvement in music❤
Wow! Your video on how to play every chord was just fantastic. It is the most comprehensive guide to chords that I have ever seen. And it was presented in a way that really made sense. The handout is also a great resource. I will be letting my friends know about it so they can utilize this excellent resource. Thank you so much for making the chords video. I can't wait to see what you have in store for your viewers next.
This video was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you! 🙏🏽
This is by far the best, most concise and complete chord tutorial I have ever seen/heard in 44 years of playing guitar and keyboard by ear with only basic chords. I'm very happy to have found this and will watch it many times more. Thank you! Wonderful job.
An amazing work you've done here. Thank you
Best chords explanation video ever! Thanks for creating this❤
Very clear lesson.Thank you so much....from Philippines. Davao Oriental.
Really useful. Needs to be digested in chunks though.
The finest music theory lecture you will see on UA-cam.
Excellent! This was quite an eye-opener to understanding chords!
This is absolutely great! Such a phenomenal job. Thank you! ❤
Really easy to understand❤ Thank you for making this
The other day i wished there was a video explaining chords and chord symbols on a piano perfectly and clear and what more could I ask for, thank you so much!❤
Hands down, the most comprehensive coverage and step by step progression through the jungle. Thank you!
Wow, this is really helpful for a beginner like me. Thank you!
This is honestly one of the most helpful tutorials I’ve ever watched. Simple, easy to understand, and straight to the point. For a while I’ve been wanting to know how to play more complex inversions/voicings of chords but wasn’t sure where to start. I really want to be able to play jazz and often times the chords I’ve seen people playing confused the heck out of me, but you made it easier for me to understand. Thank you so much for this, and I will always come back to this video whenever I need to review something.
I am a complete novice with the piano and music theory and I must say this video was so so so informative and helpful on my journey to becoming a pro ! THANK YOU SO SO MUCH !
This is absolutely beautiful and simplified.
im a beginner, i was afraid if i could ever understand the chords. you made it very easy and understandable in a single video. i should express my gratitude to you..thank you so much.
What an explanation and presentation! Top class, not seen anywhere else. Congrats and thanks 🙏
This video answers all my questions I had the last 20 years, thank you so much for posting
Thank you for this excellent tutorial x
What an excellently made and presented video. Congratulations and thank you for this :)
Awesome ! This is very useful. Thank you.
Best breakdown Ive seen so far compared to any other UA-cam video on piano chords
This is pure brilliance! Thanks you so much for putting this together ❤&🤗
Wonderful lesson. The more complex chords are a lot clearer to me now. Thank you.
Thanks for the book! What very kind of you! 😤😭❣️
This is the most clear anyone has ever explained chords THANK YOU!!!
By far and wide the best video on simple music theory!!! Thank you so much!!!
probably the best online class so far, I'm learning step by step!
No wonder music theory is important. There is no need to memorize all chords as long as one knows the principles behind it. One can instinctively knows all types of chords easily. Eventually memorization will be deeply rooted in the memory.
Thank you!
Great lesson! Thank you for being concise.
Man! You’re a life saver 🙏 This video is absolutely everything I always wanted to know! Thanks a lot!
Wow!!!🔥🔥 what an Amazing lesson from you great man. Much Appreciated, keep it up the good work 🙏🏾🙏🏾❤
You explain and demonstrate superbly!!!
This video is gold, I went through 8 years of classic piano without knowing how to read chord symbols beyond the the simple triad system
This is the best and comprehensive video which covers from very basic to the very advanced. You won’t even need to watch any other video after this
Thank you for this video and the free handbook. Most of it is well over my head, as I am a raw beginner and have reached a saturation point, but it all makes perfect sense, and I'm sure it will come into focus as I'm able to absorb more information. As a retired typesetter, I must say I'm impressed by the handbook-very nice layout. Well done!
This amazing!
Absolutely helpful!
Excellent presentation! Thank you!
What a so comprehensive and so well explained class!! I had never seen before so complete and clear presentation about chords. Congratulations!!
Thank you so much 🤝
This video helps us to know all the chords.
Thank you very much. this is a very comprehensive course that summarize all the chords theory. It connects all the dots for me. Thank you!
I am soooo grateful I stumbled across your video! THISSSS was clear and concise teaching! Please know you are so appreciated!!!!!!
Thank you so so so much. Excited to learn from you!
I began a self taught piano journey a month ago and this has been invaluable to me. Truly, thank you for this video.
Amazing video. Thank you!
