I'm a drummer but every now and again I go through a music theory/piano phase and this made me understand what a diminished and augmented chord was just listening along. You have a great way of explaining things to somebody with little understanding without coming off condescending. You've given me a dozen "a-ha!" moments where it magically clicked. Thank you so much.
remember to be realistic - you will need to do a bit of work whichever system you choose for learning to play piano I have spent months researching into different systems and found an awesome website at Denelle piano lesson (google it if you're interested)
Back in high school, the teacher used 4 simple descriptions for the 4 chords: Major - happy, minor - sad, augmented - strange & diminished - odd. When it comes to running the notes of a chord, the slow movement from the Haydn Surprise Symphony #94 comes to mind. The top part starts with the notes of the C major chord C, E & G in repetition: CC EE GG long E follow by FF DD BB long G. The middle part of the piece starts with the notes of the C minor chord C, Eb & G in repetition: CC EbEb GG long Eb follow by the same FF DD BB long G sequence. The only note that changed was the E to Eb. You basically flatten the 3rd note (middle note) in the sequence by a semi-tone to change from major to minor.
OK, I'll give you this for the root forms. But this is only 1/3 of the primary chords in a musician's arsenal (not counting 7 chords, 9 chords, etc.) How can we tell the difference between different inversions of the same chord? ( i.e. Cmaj 1st inversion (C/G))
? I have not played piano for years and have forgotten all my chords, therory, I hear that learning by ear would be easy to start all over, as a beginner. How do I start again as a beginner?
help, I can correctly guess which chord number that chord (ex. Dm of C maj is II )is but I am having entirely hard time recreating every note that consists of a chord
But how do I identify what major chord that is? I mean, like if someone plays a G major chord, I can recognize that its a major, but how would I know its on G?
Sir,this is a request from a piano student.I need to know about how to create chords for song or how to identify that chords used in a song??? This is a humble request....Kindly reply for this question....
I should reference this video to my teachers at school. It would have been pretty useful to use this video to teach the people in my year 8 class when I was doing year 8 :D
you need to have a naturally good ear to tell the difference right away, you might need to develop better hearing for this method but this is far faster than counting the interwals
The letters A to G represent the 7 notes found in the C major scale. "Do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-si" is translatable to any key; in this case he is using the C major key which is C-D-E-F-G-A-B, where: C = do, D = re, E = mi, F = fa, G = sol, A = la, and B = si. If you search up "piano with letters" on google images you can find "middle C" and the white keys following it will be D, E, F, G, A, and B, after which the cycle of letters on the white keys will start over again. I'm sure there is also a UA-cam video out there where they play the C major scale on the piano, so you can see what it sounds like as well. (It will most likely sound like your do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-si, unless for some reason your country doesn't use C major as the standard.) If you have a piano that you can use, try it out for yourself too!

me: ok that sounded like an Fmajor
"So most of you prob. Knew, but the first was a Fminor"
Me: DAMMIT!
Why am I watching this? I'm still learning how to play twinkle twinkle😂
Very informative. I would of suggested to play it arpeggiated too, in that way the viewers/listeners could identify it by its intervals.
"would have" not "would of".......... it's the English professor in me. :)
Or "would've".

Very informative and I like your friendly, encouraging style.

thepianoplayer416 I like sex it's nice
strange and odd literally means the same thing
What’s the dominant 7th?
@@DrDLL99 mystery. Weird
dominant 7th is when the first three notes is a major chord and then add major 7th . A C# E and G
Thank you it helps me for the aug and dim, can you do the same with 7th 9th and the inversions please ?
Piano's beautiful. :D
i would be happy to study music further under your teaching.
I can hear the difference but when i try to remember the sound i cant remember it lmao

This was wonderful lesson! Thank you so much
You reference other videos. I cannot find them. Please link them in the description or in a comment. Thanks
I still can't identify major and minor lol
Dwayne min major is happy and minor is sad 😂
Dwayne min remember practice makes perfect
But major is also next note's minor. It's happy and sad at the same time 🤣
@@dayasday759 what do you mean? I can't hear the difference
@@dayasday759 Happy and sad is not a good method because in the context of a musical piece, the progression will make the sounds feel different.

Thank you so much. This was extremely helpful!
I agree, very informative and helpful! :)
Thank you for the ideas. Really want to implement it.
But how do I identify what major chord that is?

same doubt
I got intimidated by all the difficult "pro language" at the start xD
Could you make a video to identify augmented triads dominant 7th and diminished 7th?I’m appreciated.

Thanks Rob
If you play minor chord after some other chord in the same key the difference isn't as strong
Very good tutorial. Thanks Robert!
This guy is my guy👑
I still have a hard time finding the difference
X-GamingStar hhhhhhhlmao

Music teachers have always sucked at teaching how to listen for chord progressions.
me too..
หthe audio quality of this clip is not good. Find some other clip and listen it easier
great, now all i have to do is figure out the difference between the first, second, and third inversions, and all types of seventh chords as well...
Very useful sir
thanks robert
Thanks. This is helpful!
Great video 😊👍🏾
Thank you! 🤗
very helpful .. thank you👍
Watch this from the beginning and tell me that this dude doesn’t remind you of the rabbi from Seinfeld.
omg yeah
Super helpful
THANK YOU!!
Slenderman?
In my country we use do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-si, so this video doesn't help me much because I don't understand what a C or E is :'(
Do is C so that’s how it goes
The letters A to G represent the 7 notes found in the C major scale. "Do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-si" is translatable to any key; in this case he is using the C major key which is C-D-E-F-G-A-B, where: C = do, D = re, E = mi, F = fa, G = sol, A = la, and B = si.

👍
Hi all of you guys you shall really listen to William Branham's they are very important, urgent
great lesson will you be my teacher??
Many many thanks!
..thankyouuuu
The augmented triad sounds like a train 🚊
Looks a bit like Mark Hamill!
Same chord, slight differences
Me that’s here cause my theory and ear training exam is in 3 days...
Thnaks
No peaking 😂😂😭
No fair peeking!
I still can’t recognize the instrument.
Jk just want likes
Lol I hear everything the same 😂
I don't have a piano 🙂
They may be cracked at piano but I'm cracked at fortnite building kappa
piano: k-kawaii >///
Anyone else who watches Young Sheldon thinks he looks like Dr Sturgis?
