In this piano tutorial, we look at an easy method to build major and minor chords. The idea is to count the notes in half-steps. Doing this allows us to count the notes between each note.
For example, a major chord plays the root note, skips 3 notes, plays the next note, skips 2 notes and plays the next note. So the first skip is 3 and the second skip is 2. Therefore we can call major chords "3-2" chords. This applies to ALL major chords.
To construct a minor chord we need to reverse this, so we need to play a "2-3" chord. An easy way to remember this is because the first skip of the minor chord is small, and minor & small can mean a similar thing.

Glad to be of assistance! 😀

I can't believe I've been playing the piano for 13 years and know all the chords by heart but never noticed that omg 😂
Haha, you learn something new every day :)
Hi! I’m new to piano and I’m trying to learn on UA-cam. Does EVERY chord that starts with a certain letter is called ()major or ()minor depending on the 3-2 and 2-3? And are all of th chords like this?
@@reginaphalange5113 yes
Laura Schmidtke ok
Winner of a video, I have been researching "piano chords tutorial for beginners" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Nonason Ranincoln Genie - (search on google )?
It is a great one of a kind product for discovering how to play the piano like a pro without the normal expense. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my m8 got amazing success with it.
I've played 5 years of violin and only just learned the difference between major and minor chords besides minor sounds sad.
Me too 😂
but... but.. but major sounds happy...(
Yes, my music teachers said “if you want to know which is minor or major. Major is happy and minor is sad”
Contemporary musicians?

It is a great exclusive guide for discovering how to play the piano like a pro without the normal expense. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my brother in law got great results with it.
Never played piano before, but I bought one yesterday as I’m increasingly obsessed with the beautiful sound..
I’ve literally looked at so many videos on here, only to be more confused.. until now.. you guys at PianoPig are GODS to me now, thank you so much.
I feel so confident in my new journey going forward..
To anyone thinking about learning, I’m 45 and just starting, it’s never too late.. 💪 🎹
That's great to hear you've been enjoying the channel, Paul! You're certainly never too old to start learning and I wish you all the best on your musical journey 😀
Lakini umechelewa
Yeah man I’ve been playing since I was 7-8 and I’m almost 16 now and from my experience if you keep at it for a year exactly you can play songs that take others 2-3 years to play because of how much time you put into it
how’s your piano journey going?

Very short and efficient in teaching. As a beginner in learning to play piano. This is perfect way to differentiate major and minor chords
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
I'm never drinking again.... I thought I saw a pig appear on his key board!!!
Nemo Nemo lol
Well there is!!
Nemo Nemo s
Me too
There is HAHAHHAAH
tons of hours on books and wikis. this guy clear my head in 4:30 . GREAT WORKS!
This explains a lot of crucial basic information about piano chords. Thank you very much for this video.
Glad you enjoyed it :)
This might be the perfect explanation for beginners. I’ve asked so many musicians what the difference between a major and minor chord is (I’m musically illiterate for the most part), but this has been the best explanation I’ve seen so far. Thank you so much!
Learning piano by myself. I hope I do well. Your tutorials help a lot, thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Watched so many frustrating tutorials that were like taking ten steps forward and 20 backwards. This was at a manageable pace for a beginner and finally provided clarity and helped me stay motivated about learning chord progressions.
I have been learning piano since few months. Was always confused with the chords, but u made everything clear n easy today! Thank uh so much. Thumbs up for you sir!
Can not express how helpful this was on my piano journey
The visual representation up top really secured it for me. I’ve been messing around with the piano for a few weeks casually playing it every once in a while and I’m really starting to get serious with it. This video helped tremendously.
Awesome! I'm glad to be of assistance 😀
I literally couldn’t understand before but this is so simple, it’s nostalgic. Thank you!
That was a good .lesson ! Finally someone EXPLAINED how to build chords thru simple steps . He did the steps at a SLOW easy pace! That was helpful !
This is actually a breakthrough in understanding how chords work 🤯😱 Thank you very much for your work and simplicity of teaching. Most of the time, less is more.
You are an amazing teacher!
This is such a great video! I’ve been playing piano for 8 years but this is the first time I really understood how to get major/minor chords without having to memorize many things.
This video is genius, I can't get over it.
At a rather advanced age, I have just started piano lessons :) I am loving your instructions - thank you so much!
This is incredible , I suddenly feel like a musician , and ready to go on tour... LOL ;-)
I’ve been lost for a while. Thank you, this helped a lot.
the last 30 seconds of the video taught me more than anything ive come across in such a way that clicked and made sense without random “rules” just numbers man
WOWWWW, soo I’ve Been really struggling to learn the majors and minors and the flat notes on the keyboard or piano but after watching this video it seems so simple and I don’t see how I struggled with it so much thank you @PianoPig for all the help keep up the good work and hope you’re still making UA-cam videos because I’m going to definitely be watching a lot more
Hey who put that thumb down. This video helped a lot.
Erica Snyder the frustrated people probably but still dis video great

Thank you! So clear and easy to understand! I really appreciate it! 👍👏
This lesson is very easy to understand and thus very useful for me. Thank you, Teacher.💐
I have played piano for more than ten years now and only now have I realized that they is another way to distinguish minor chords than other than “sad”

I've been practicing piano for 6years but my teacher never taught me chords and the music sheet just so I don't leave his classes.
Thank you.

People who dislike the video mush have holding the phone upside down 😂😂😂
Just bought a digital piano to learn. Thank you, ur tutorials are a god send
Major chords sound like "The Good"
And the Minor Chords sound like "The Evil"
Minor sound sad.
XD
I've been trying to tach myself an instrument for year and decided to give the keyboard ago and I've never understood the difference. Thank you this has helped massively and such a simple way of explaining it - it's glued in there now!

This really helped me out to understand the difference between major and minor chords!! Thanks!!
Thank you for explaining the major and minor concept. As a complete beginner I could not understand the major, minor thing.
Now it is clear to me.
I have got a new drive to learn to play the piano.
most of the piano lessons on youtube are confusing.this is the only channel that cleared out many things for me.so thank you so much sir.Also your accent makes it more eccentric and much more interesting.
What a patient and very helpful teacher; you will learn much that is very useful by following these presentations.
Thank you!! Finally I found a good piano tutorial fir my needs.
You explained it very well.. Thank you!
No problem!
Absolutly am a winer Thanks Broo Am from Tanzania
Much respect to you
I'm proud of watching you lesson!
May God bless you!
I thank God who has given you a such skills!
Thanks!
This is the proper way to demonstrate the difference and teach what it is. Many other videos out there with a lot of views do music a great disservice. Well done!
Ive been producing music without music theory knowledge , now i am starting to learing music theory and this video has by far been most helpful. will definately recommend to anyone who wants to learn chords .
I’m very new to music theory and this video made me feel like I’ve unlocked the secrets of the universe. Thank you so much! I can’t wait to watch more of your videos and continue learning!
And thanks to you!! now I know how to play anything on this earth .. here’s a virtual hug!❤️🤗
Oh my God!! Be my teacher!! Hats off to you!!
Thank you. Really useful. So clear. I feel that I can work out quite a few chords from this.
Have written a simple song of praise using the E major chord. However, this video confirmed that it is in E major.
Thank you so much.
I just purchased a piano and was so confused on what a major minor is. But you easily broke it down (: thank you!
The best explanation of major and minor chord even my music teacher with due respect to him.has not taught me this not other utubers..it was so clear explanation vow thank u sir..subscribing ur channel
Awesome! Very easy and valuable lesson for me as a beginner. Much appreciated 😘👍
jesus christ , now all i have to do is check for 2 notes inbtween the first 2 notes.
if there is its a minor.
if theres not 2 its major. SOOOO simple.
I can recognize any chord just by looking for a two or not. cheers man.
So glad I started learning the basics from you.
I've been playing for a long time by ear. I've never knew the difference. I watched this at a coffee shop. Now I can play more efficiently since this simple and effective video.
LOVE IT!! YOU ARE THE FIRST ONE TO EXPLAIN IT SIMPLY AND BEAUTIFUL!! NOW, NOT ONLY CAN I RECOGNIZE A CORD, I CAN NOW BUILD ONE AND KNOW WHAT IT'S CALLED!! THANK YOU!!
Thank you so much youre making learning scales and cords easy. Calming and fun!
Thank you so much I used to play piano (keyboard) for 4 years and I still didn’t know basic things!
Thanks to you! I understood about chords and how to build them. It only takes a smart person who understands it to explain it to others. My piano book did not explain it as simply as you! my piano teacher did not explain it as well as you! Thank you so much!
Very simple way to understand major(3-2) & minor(2-3) chords/triads
Thanks.
I wish I had spent more time learning this earlier in my life. Great tutorial.
Superbly explained ! All those who put a thumbs down - can you tell what more were you expecting from this ?
Good question! ;)
this is an amazing tip!!! can't express how grateful I am to you! this immediately solves my biggest problem in learning chords. Love you!!
Thank you so much for this video. I’ve been playing for six months and never grasped the knowledge behind the major and minor chords I would just play what I see on tutorials but now I understand !! Thanks 🙏👏🏽😀

I play a bit of piano but its all self taught from yt videos that just shows what notes to play. This is extremely helpful thank you.
