just discovered this and we are in lock down, must be meant to be, gives me four weeks to learn to play the piano. (supposes to be working from home but what the hell). all the best to everyone from New Zealand
I'm from New Zealand too! I just got a keyboard yesterday and now that we are in lockdown, I can learn a new hobby. Mind you I'm only 15. But today I spent over 2 hours trying to learn a song from one of my favorite artists (Harry Styles) I really enjoy it tho so that's the main part :)

@@prodbyfrigus On pianos there are keys that you press that make different sounds. If you press down on one key, the noise it makes is considered a note. Whenever you press down on a single key, you are playing a note. Every key on the piano/keyboard, whether it is black or white, is considered a note. Chords are certain combinations of notes to make a variety of sounds. Major and Minor are different types of chords you can play, which are based off of the notes you play. For example, if you play a C Major chord, your first finger (thumb) will be on a C note, your third finger (middle finger) will be on a E note, and your fifth finger (pinky) will be on a G note. That's what I got from it. I've never played piano, but I do play guitar a lot. I got interested in piano/keyboard, but I don't have one. I'm currently saving money to get one.
I started to learn how to play the piano about 15 years ago, and DO have a basic understanding of music theory, but the simplicity of major and minor chords was never defined to me like this. I think it's awesome! Certainly beats trying to memorize all the chords. I'm anxious to see what ELSE he can simplify!
This is amazing! I bought a keyboard about a month ago but quickly lost motivation since I couldn't figure out how to remember the chords. But, after watching this video I have learned the chords but most importantly it has re-lit a fire of motivation to keep learning! Thank you so much!
What an amazing video. It's so hard to find teachers who know how to eliminate all the unnecessary clutter and stick to what beginners need right now. Thank you so much!
@@thehonkening1 his/her instructors probably dragged this process super long with "kiddy" songs in between lessons to maximize financial profit for "lessons"
major chord : 4+3 minor chord : 3+4 etc. finding c major c is the base plus 4 is e then plus 3 is g c major = c e g finding c minor c is the base plus 3 is e# then plus 4 is g c minor = c e# g this is how I find my chords
Lol it's about how to figure out what your left hand should be playing after you've got the melody you want in your right hand. If your root note is C, you count 4 half-steps from there and hit that, then go an additional 3 half-steps up to get the final key. That's how you make a major chord. If your root note is C, you count 3 half-steps from there and hit that, then go and additional four half-steps to get the final key. That's how you make a minor chord.
Luisa Fernanda Lòpez Hernández Ok I exaggerated a little! Yeah he's not great but he's the only one in my area and I can't afford to go anywhere else. I only have lessons like twice a month though.

I've been playing drums for 8 years but I always wanted to learn HOW TO PLAY THE PIANO. My one and Only goal is by the end of this year be able to play "Giant steps" on the piano, thats why im here. Happy new year everyone!
I've been playing drums for 11 years and I'm in the same position as you I want to learn different instruments, like guitar and piano, love this video, very helpfuk
+Cristiano S I started playing drums mainly and piano (intermittently) at 18... at 42 now I am so glad to have started with the piano and I feel blessed for making that decision. Primarily, because it literally keeps me young, but there are many benefits. In the present, I have mastered a whole style of sound and (in the last 5 years) after being able to make my hands independent from each other, it is a "whole new world" the piano itself (even a digital one, such as I have), especially if connected to a set of "stage speakers" (even if low) for rehearsals/practice, etc. You can accomplish a lot in these times with so many online tutorials and if you practice 2~3 times a week for 3~5hrs. a day, I definitely would recommend it, and you should progress at a higher rate than students trying to pursue this musical direction like 25 years (or more) ago, when the Internet was non~existent [as an educational tool]...
Playing the piano require practice with both hands by doing drills/exercises. Music scales and chords are like patterns, it is important to remember each pattern scale to be able to see what you are playing. I consider myself to be a contemporary classical pianist with a strong background playing keyboards, etc. The more you practice your hearing will get sharper. Practice, practice and practice is the key to learn to play the piano or keyboards. Buying the musical instrument of your choice is the first step, practice 1 hour per day min, recommend 2 hrs, you will see results in a short time, Good luck!
+David Suazo I understand that practice is everything and I have been focusing on learning specifics of songs but what can I practice other than scales to make me more fluid on the piano in general?
I will encourage you to purchase a full size keyboard 76 key or 88, heavy weighted keys. Each finger has it own memory believe it or not. You can start by learning all your minor keys: C, D, E, F, G, A, B... C . this is 1 octave in the key of C mayor. Learn all the accords/Chorus of each note like for example the accord for C mayor will be: C, E, G. I feel that the best way for you is to start playing your accords with both hands, you start slowly, each hand has it own rule of finger position, so , you need to apply this single rule, why? because in order to play with both hands your hands have to be ready to play more complicated scales. Through the years I have learned that every good pianist or keyboardist have to practice everyday. If you don't practice you will never see good results, so, practice minimum 1-hour each day, I guarantee you results. I'm getting ready to launch a sequence of piano and keyboarding lessons for free. I feel that visual aids through video is the way go. Guitar Center has a poster for keyboard or piano where it shows all the music notes, relatives, etc. This poster is a good reference to have because it shows you the position of each note, accords, and relatives notes, etc. Your hands position is very important, each finger position is to be obey in according to how to play on each hand. My English is not good enough, for this very reason I will start making video lessons. You can always write to me at suazorecords@gmail.com In order to master the tempo through a song is necessary to play with both hands. All fingers are utilized when playing the piano/keyboard. If you would like to learn the right way, practice is the key.
Genious!! 2 years i tried to learn guitar from zero... and he here he just described everything I wanted to know about music!! Amazing, 10 minutes and all understood!🤩
This video is my first step to learning piano/keyboard. I've always wanted to learn, for as long as I could remember. I learned how to play guitar and took guitar lessons, but Piano has always been my endgame, I just never learned it because I live in a small town where no one knows how to play or willing to teach. 25 years old I've decided to learn how to play myself. I'm bookmarking this video for when my keyboard comes in the mail and I can get started!
I already knew these basics but the trick to just count from 1-8 and remember in numbers which notes are half steps and not full steps is a genius tip! All other tutorials tell you to learn to remember fullstep-fullstep-fullstep-halfstep..... to remember the scales which is WAY more difficult to remember than to just remember these numbers. Thank you so mcuh!
Honest review? I came here after 5 years only to write this. This video works!! I thank God that I came across this video. It saved me, my time, my effort and my money.. Thank you so much Mr. Tim. You're a Gentleman first and then a great teacher and musician.
Marq Mac right!!! I use mpc so i placed notes all the time but could never play it on my keyboard straight live. I wanted to learn all the chords and tricks of key notes because i noticed some notes blend with others way out of range . So far since the numbers portion at the beginning of the video i realize i been doing it all wrong, and this is going to make it all right
Yes, but this leads to the confusion that @InstantPianoGenius speaks of and why the numeric system is an easier way of learning. The method exploited here only displays 7 counts (Whole-Whole-Half-Whole-Whole-Whole-Half) and does not consider the root note. The full scale is 8 notes, so unless you state (Root-Whole-Whole-Half-Whole-Whole-Whole-Half) it does not add up only notates (Re-Me-Fa-So-La-Ti-Do) again, only 7 counts versus adding the root (Do-Re-Me-Fa-So-La-Ti-Do) that is 8 counts. 3-4 right next to each other and 7-8 right next to each other is a brilliant way of explaining it on a beginner based level. Video games have a symbol system approach: One could say a certain power move is Kick-Kick-Punch-Duck-Kick and deliver a superpower for the character. However, when taught it is learned as (Triangle-Triangle-Square-Circle-Triangle) and that is easier to grasp for the end-user than trying to remember what Kick or Punch is initially. The numeric system in relation to the piano is BRILLIANT for learning the essential patterns of scales and chords before the hassle of remembering notes because it will only circle back to the numbers game anyway with chord progressions (like the popular 2-5-1) and fuller chords (1-3-5-7-9-11-13) and/or their tight or wide inversions, etc. So starting with numbers, as done here, and where a musician ends up anyway makes complete sense.
This is way easier than looking at a colored scale for major/minor chords and trying to figure out how the crap to actually play them. This is so helpful and seems super practical and easy
I knew there's gotta be some sort of technique in learning how to play piano than hearing the old fashion and boring way from our music teachers 🤣. Finally this guy was generous enough to share it with us. Bravo! Thank you sir!
Oh my god. This lesson has changed my life. I have been trying to learn music since a long time.but nobody told me about this golden secret. Thank a ton Sir.
First Teacher who simplifies keyboard player, not those guys who come teach absolute beginners in 1 minute a move they have practiced for 1 month. Kudos to you boss, I have just subscribed to your channel all the way in Cape Town South Africa
Here are some notes I took while watching in case anyone wanted a quick review after watching. Fingers 1-5 starting with thumb Half step - Any note to any adjacent note is a Half-Step Ex: Going from B-C is a half step because no black note is between them Whole step - Note between them (Doesn't matter if white or black) Number System: 1 from you hit the first note and 8 to where you hit the note again The count begins on whatever note you choose to start with (ABCDEFG) Major Scale - all whole steps except (3&8)
This is actually pretty simple if you just really listen to him carefully and take your time watching it even if U have to watch it over and over you'll just be understanding it more.your brain will automatically train itself. Just takes time and practice very logic.
You're indeed a pro; a piano genius! Thanks a million! You can't know how much you have educated me so quickly & easily. My heart is relieved. God bless you unreservedly.
+Steve Kimble I go to school for this shit, so I didn't get lost, but it was very informative. Bottom line, watch it a couple more times, it's worth it :)
My whole piano game changed, a few years back when i stumbled upon this masterpiece video... I was able to easily play and sing along on piano.. ❤ So Grateful. And still learning...
Finally..... I found the video I watched 7 years ago to learn how to play the piano. I used to watch my older sister play the piano like a prodigy while I was just standing there, staring at her play and not knowing any single chord or note that my sister plays but just enjoying the vibe of the music. Now, I am 16 years old and I teach a kid from my school how to play the piano. I want to teach her first the basics so I have thought of this video that first taught me how to play the piano too. So, I searched up again for like a half an hour and finally, I found this video. I will send this to that kid and I am excited to see if she's going to be like me someday.
This is an amazing video! I think the people that don't understand the number system, or the ones that are getting totally lost, do not quite understand: what a scale is, playing in a certain key, or other music theory fundamentals. Also, in order for this to be helpful, you need to have a piano or keyboard in front of you to practice each concept after he introduces it. Once you have a grasp on it then continue watching to the next part of the video. Good luck learning!
WOW.... Mind blowing I've been looking for this all along.... Thanks for sharing. I know you've got more to give out. Please Don't stop sharing with us
This video is absolutely fantastic and changes the way I look at a piano. I always looked a piano as very very difficult to play and I thought I could never learn it but this video changes my mind. I play bass guitar but have always loved piano and I can read sheet music a little.
This is an amazing tutorial..thank you Tim..very clear and easy to follow..my 9 year old son is hooked to the piano after watching this video..and just after 10 days he is able to play many chords with ease..thanks a lot again Tim.
well i spend my 15 years as wating to learn piano and lately just started to learn piano XD it been 8 months and i wish i were start like a 10 years ago at least XD You can check my lates upload i just uploaded my practice session for the first time hehehe i still need a few years more to be decent tough
I was very curious about the minor and major but then after watching other version right after this one it became so easily recognizable this has helped me so much as an beginner
my family was cleaning during quarantineand found granpas old keyboard we plugged it and all 12 of us(6 cousins) didnt know how to play exept uncle chao, this was very helpful for me and my cousins during quarantine, thank you very much
"You know how to find that information" finally someone who teaches in a way that I understand! Plus I don't have to speed up the videos because you talk at a normal rate! :D Thank you!
It's official. My mind is completely blown away. I never imagined understanding this could ever be so easy. If I could super like or like this video multiple times I would.
Wow. I've been playing the guitar for about 6 years now, and thought I'd grown enough to experience the motherboard. Well, thanks to this video, the keyboard/piano makes so much sense it's mind-boggling. Thanks for this video, dude!!!
That's great, Drew. Because I played piano first, when I play guitar I think of intervals and chords in terms of piano. With piano everything's laid out in front of you so you can SEE the notes and the intervals, etc. I'm not really sure how guitar players picture things in their head, since to me at least, it's all "hidden" in the frets. :-)
i could say the same thing about myself since im also a guitar player for 5 years now, and after watching this video i guess now the way music runs in my head is kinda more clear, because after all music isn't just notes on sheets nor a put-together sounds, it's more of an image that reflects the person using the methods i'v just pointed, i like this counting system i think it'd work pretty good for a new starter, and it is true that no one has ever tought me that although i used to take piano lessens when i was 5 or something, so here's a +1 and a sub sir.
InstantPianoGenius In my case as a guitar player I think of a fretboard as simply a series of movable shapes - be it the chords I know or the scales I know

If you don't practice you will never see good results, so, practice minimum 1-hour each day, I guarantee you results. I'm getting ready to launch a sequence of piano and keyboarding lessons for free. I feel that visual aids through video is the way go. Guitar Center has a poster for keyboard or piano where it shows all the music notes, relatives, etc. This poster is a good reference to have because it shows you the position of each note, accords, and relatives notes, etc.
Your hands position is very important, each finger position is to be obey in according to how to play on each hand. My English is not good enough, for this very reason I will start making video lessons. You can always write to me at suazorecords@gmail.com
In order to master the tempo through a song is necessary to play with both hands. All fingers are utilized when playing the piano/keyboard. If you would like to learn the right way, practice is the key.
Me, at the beginning: I can't do this, I'm a failure.
.
.
Me, at the end: I am THE piano genius.
Hey how’s your piano journey? I am a beginner if you have any tips for me then please share:)
Genious!! 2 years i tried to learn guitar from zero... and he here he just described everything I wanted to know about music!! Amazing, 10 minutes and all understood!🤩
This video is my first step to learning piano/keyboard.
I've always wanted to learn, for as long as I could remember. I learned how to play guitar and took guitar lessons, but Piano has always been my endgame, I just never learned it because I live in a small town where no one knows how to play or willing to teach. 25 years old I've decided to learn how to play myself.
I'm bookmarking this video for when my keyboard comes in the mail and I can get started!
How is it going?
Have you been playing ?
Me: i want to learn piano.
Also me: doesn’t understand a single thing 😂
Team Celena I feel you 😂
Team Celena same. Still lost lol
I feel you
Me too...i got a head ache,.
High five !
Holy shit, I just bought a keyboard and was going to take lessons, but now I change my mind. After watching ur video I dont need lessons..
Good job 👍, how is it coming along?
David Brown maybe not good because he hadn’t responded.
@@DavidBrown-dh7jf he is busy with simply piano now...lol
@@asylumrain 😂😂😂
It's still better to take lessons than to learn on the Internet
I already knew these basics but the trick to just count from 1-8 and remember in numbers which notes are half steps and not full steps is a genius tip!
All other tutorials tell you to learn to remember fullstep-fullstep-fullstep-halfstep..... to remember the scales which is WAY more difficult to remember than to just remember these numbers.
Thank you so mcuh!
it is sound so easy,But i am trying my best ...You are a Legend man...
Wow I've learnt more in these 10 mins than I had watching hours worth of other tutorials. Nice one, 1-8 is a great method
Honest review?
I came here after 5 years only to write this. This video works!!
I thank God that I came across this video. It saved me, my time, my effort and my money..
Thank you so much Mr. Tim. You're a Gentleman first and then a great teacher and musician.
holy shit. been playing by ear all my life. this video lifted the veil so to speak. it is all clear to me now.
Marq Mac right!!! I use mpc so i placed notes all the time but could never play it on my keyboard straight live. I wanted to learn all the chords and tricks of key notes because i noticed some notes blend with others way out of range . So far since the numbers portion at the beginning of the video i realize i been doing it all wrong, and this is going to make it all right
Same here xD
Played all the time by ear and it sounds actually good, but know I know what I can do better. :-)
FACTS
Superb. This numbering system can help many of us to play so well. I really appreciate your support and help. Good on you.
I Lové It!!!
It gave me just thé push I needed to Dust off my old midi and get back to playing
Same !
Simple:
Major Scale - Whole-Whole-Half-Whole-Whole-Whole-Half
Minor Scale - Whole-Half-Whole-Whole-half-Whole-Whole
Easy guys. :D
Thank you! When he was teaching "between the 3-4's and 7-8's" I thought, wasn't it two and a half, three and a half?
Yes, but this leads to the confusion that @InstantPianoGenius speaks of and why the numeric system is an easier way of learning. The method exploited here only displays 7 counts (Whole-Whole-Half-Whole-Whole-Whole-Half) and does not consider the root note. The full scale is 8 notes, so unless you state (Root-Whole-Whole-Half-Whole-Whole-Whole-Half) it does not add up only notates (Re-Me-Fa-So-La-Ti-Do) again, only 7 counts versus adding the root (Do-Re-Me-Fa-So-La-Ti-Do) that is 8 counts. 3-4 right next to each other and 7-8 right next to each other is a brilliant way of explaining it on a beginner based level.
Video games have a symbol system approach: One could say a certain power move is Kick-Kick-Punch-Duck-Kick and deliver a superpower for the character. However, when taught it is learned as (Triangle-Triangle-Square-Circle-Triangle) and that is easier to grasp for the end-user than trying to remember what Kick or Punch is initially. The numeric system in relation to the piano is BRILLIANT for learning the essential patterns of scales and chords before the hassle of remembering notes because it will only circle back to the numbers game anyway with chord progressions (like the popular 2-5-1) and fuller chords (1-3-5-7-9-11-13) and/or their tight or wide inversions, etc.
So starting with numbers, as done here, and where a musician ends up anyway makes complete sense.
@@navigatormoore Wow! This comment is absolutely amazing!
I never thought of that.
Thank you so much!!🎹👍🏻
@@navigatormoore I am a damn beginner. Thanks a lot for excellent explanation.
This is way easier than looking at a colored scale for major/minor chords and trying to figure out how the crap to actually play them. This is so helpful and seems super practical and easy
I knew there's gotta be some sort of technique in learning how to play piano than hearing the old fashion and boring way from our music teachers 🤣. Finally this guy was generous enough to share it with us. Bravo! Thank you sir!
Oh my god. This lesson has changed my life. I have been trying to learn music since a long time.but nobody told me about this golden secret. Thank a ton Sir.
First Teacher who simplifies keyboard player, not those guys who come teach absolute beginners in 1 minute a move they have practiced for 1 month. Kudos to you boss, I have just subscribed to your channel all the way in Cape Town South Africa
"We're going to use C because C is all white notes so it's easier to SEE."
lol xD
GOOD ONE IMAO😁😁😁
use color key would be awesome. Rainbow key
😂 Just noticed that!!!!
PianoPro. xyz - Beginner piano lessons
why did keys start with C instead of A?
Here are some notes I took while watching in case anyone wanted a quick review after watching.
Fingers 1-5 starting with thumb
Half step - Any note to any adjacent note is a Half-Step Ex: Going from B-C is a half step because no black note is between them
Whole step - Note between them (Doesn't matter if white or black)
Number System: 1 from you hit the first note and 8 to where you hit the note again
The count begins on whatever note you choose to start with (ABCDEFG)
Major Scale - all whole steps except (3&8)
Thank you so much for these notes!
Excellent notes, I've learned them INSTANTLY! :-)
I thought it was a joke. Thank you!
Awsome thank u
Much appreciated, thanks for the notes!
This is actually pretty simple if you just really listen to him carefully and take your time watching it even if U have to watch it over and over you'll just be understanding it more.your brain will automatically train itself. Just takes time and practice very logic.
You're indeed a pro; a piano genius! Thanks a million! You can't know how much you have educated me so quickly & easily. My heart is relieved. God bless you unreservedly.
Already knowing music theory makes learning this much easier
Smooooth that's true
Smooooth boss
2:01 this man just single handedly ended racism
I might have to watch this a few times cause i totally got lost.
+Steve Kimble I go to school for this shit, so I didn't get lost, but it was very informative. Bottom line, watch it a couple more times, it's worth it :)

My whole piano game changed, a few years back when i stumbled upon this masterpiece video... I was able to easily play and sing along on piano.. ❤ So Grateful. And still learning...
Yaww quarantine people is here and planning to learn in and buy a piano
Damn straight. I bought one and this is 2 weeks in, I am feeling very comfortable with the keys and learning songs fast.
Are here
That’s exactly why I’m here
Yee I kindaaaaa bought soooo
Yeah already bought a keyboard 🤗
Why am I here I don't even own a piano lmao
Majda Cekic Download a piano app
I know this is old but i cant find any apps.
pianoist is a good one
obsession my friend
Majda Cekic You should know it rather than asking us. Overacting ki aulad hai ye sale Angrez. Foolish.
please upload more videos, you are an awesome teacher !!
Finally..... I found the video I watched 7 years ago to learn how to play the piano. I used to watch my older sister play the piano like a prodigy while I was just standing there, staring at her play and not knowing any single chord or note that my sister plays but just enjoying the vibe of the music. Now, I am 16 years old and I teach a kid from my school how to play the piano. I want to teach her first the basics so I have thought of this video that first taught me how to play the piano too. So, I searched up again for like a half an hour and finally, I found this video. I will send this to that kid and I am excited to see if she's going to be like me someday.
I like how while im learning to play the piano, i'm getting flipped off in the process unintentionally
This is an amazing video! I think the people that don't understand the number system, or the ones that are getting totally lost, do not quite understand: what a scale is, playing in a certain key, or other music theory fundamentals. Also, in order for this to be helpful, you need to have a piano or keyboard in front of you to practice each concept after he introduces it. Once you have a grasp on it then continue watching to the next part of the video. Good luck learning!
The number system is a better way
Espen Steven
The number system is how i was taught just never stuck with it
I started learning piano a year ago and this has taught me more in 5 minutes
WOAH I'M MINDBLOWNED. I BOUGHT A KEYBOARD AND I THOUGHT IT'LL BE A HARD THING TO LEARN BUT BY WATCHING THIS, EVERYTHING NOW IS EASIER...
Oh my God. This summed up my four years of piano class. I wish I watched this sooner.
Thanks for the heart.
I just wished my piano teacher taught me this years ago...well done
WOW.... Mind blowing I've been looking for this all along.... Thanks for sharing. I know you've got more to give out. Please Don't stop sharing with us
Samuel Abraham so give it to me straight, can you play piano or not
Nelson Arias I believe I can find my way around the piano
10 months later, give it to me straight, can you play piano?
Yes
Tim, you are the absolute best teacher, eliminating all the bs and just cutting to the chase...
I honestly can’t believe how much I learned and figured out in 10 mins. This is one great video
Maths teacher: We will start with the number system.
InstantPianoGenius: All you need to know is the number system.
me:
This is amazing after 11yrs this is still relevant and helpful
This saved me quite a few hours + made the fretboard on the guitar more 'readable'? for me instantly.
What a gem to find when starting out.
This video is absolutely fantastic and changes the way I look at a piano. I always looked a piano as very very difficult to play and I thought I could never learn it but this video changes my mind. I play bass guitar but have always loved piano and I can read sheet music a little.
This is an amazing tutorial..thank you Tim..very clear and easy to follow..my 9 year old son is hooked to the piano after watching this video..and just after 10 days he is able to play many chords with ease..thanks a lot again Tim.
Wonderful! :-)
this is the most *ONE SMALL TRICK - PIANO TEACHERS HATE HIM* crap I've ever seen XD

"there's white notes and black notes. They're all equal"
+Dann Niel DAT RIGHT DERE. NO RACIAL DISCRIMINATION. lol
LMAO SHUSH
Made my day😂
Fake news
Dann Niel I think you just fixed racism.
I was very curious about the minor and major but then after watching other version right after this one it became so easily recognizable this has helped me so much as an beginner
I took piano as a child. Lockdown has made me want to revisit it. Thanks.
me 10 secs ago: writing a report for my assignment .
also me: in the library learning how to play piano without even having a piano.
TheSakta same lolll
Yfg
there’s white notes and black notes but just think of them as being equal
*racism levels drop to 0%*
They are not equal. Just think of them as being equal.
Jk
EQUALITY!!! IT IS FINALLY HAPPENING!!! WEEEEEEE
Hahahahahaa love that
So many nonsense comments here tsk tsk
Trump: **disagrees**
2:26 that one lesson the world needs to know
my family was cleaning during quarantineand found granpas old keyboard we plugged it and all 12 of us(6 cousins) didnt know how to play exept uncle chao, this was very helpful for me and my cousins during quarantine, thank you very much
Brilliant, thanks!
After watching this for the first time, I am able to play Moonlight sonata (3rd movement)
I know right! Piece of cake.
I don’t play piano but after watching this I was able to play all of Mozart’s symphonies on my iPad garage band
@Ijaaz Abdulla its a joke mate
Ijaaz Abdulla no you can be a master of any instrument and only know chord and notes names
Ijaaz Abdulla composing but maybe but learn chords notes and practice is all you need
"You know how to find that information" finally someone who teaches in a way that I understand!
Plus I don't have to speed up the videos because you talk at a normal rate! :D
Thank you!
It's official. My mind is completely blown away. I never imagined understanding this could ever be so easy. If I could super like or like this video multiple times I would.
I have literally made a long notes with diagrams through this video.
Thank you very much I really needed this😄
Wow. I've been playing the guitar for about 6 years now, and thought I'd grown enough to experience the motherboard. Well, thanks to this video, the keyboard/piano makes so much sense it's mind-boggling. Thanks for this video, dude!!!
That's great, Drew. Because I played piano first, when I play guitar I think of intervals and chords in terms of piano. With piano everything's laid out in front of you so you can SEE the notes and the intervals, etc. I'm not really sure how guitar players picture things in their head, since to me at least, it's all "hidden" in the frets. :-)
Definitely, man. It's an arduous journey, but if you stay the course, it's a lovely instrument to have under your belt.
Cheers, dude. SERIOUSLY.
i could say the same thing about myself since im also a guitar player for 5 years now, and after watching this video i guess now the way music runs in my head is kinda more clear, because after all music isn't just notes on sheets nor a put-together sounds, it's more of an image that reflects the person using the methods i'v just pointed, i like this counting system i think it'd work pretty good for a new starter, and it is true that no one has ever tought me that although i used to take piano lessens when i was 5 or something, so here's a +1 and a sub sir.
InstantPianoGenius In my case as a guitar player I think of a fretboard as simply a series of movable shapes - be it the chords I know or the scales I know

This teacher has the best skills in teaching.
DUDE..... THANKS.... FOR REAL!!!!!
Honestly! I really did learn a whole lot in 15 minutes than I did in any piano class.
