Thank you Lance! So glad you found it helpful. I find this chord progression very soothing and satisfying and fruitful to improvise with. All the best with your music making!
Thank you for this clear, concise and well-paced lesson. I like your statement “There is no wrong way to start.” Your demonstration with your LH (without using your thumb for fingering) allowed me to not get hung up on fingering but listen to the chords and pay more attention to your RH.
Good he NAMES EACH keynote and CHORDS. Letters.marked is helpful too! He.explains well! Just don't rush it.bro for.beginners! Do MORE demos with counts!
Want some more ideas for this? I had my students compose (with my help) and improvise (without my help) over this same chord progression, playing each chord 2x in a row (C C Dm Dm F F C C). They used the pentatonic scale in the right hand (but with some occasional F's thrown in, since F can also work nicely since it's part of the Dm chord (2nd chord) and F chord (3rd chord). Here's the video: ua-cam.com/video/y5-KrKD2FJs/v-deo.html
Quarantine project-couldn’t get a piano tuner! Also, I’m assuming you mean fingerings for the LH chords-if so, it’s because it’s easier to see what notes I’m playing if I use those fingers. I should have said that I don’t personally use that fingering! Some beginners gravitate toward that bizarre fingering and I find that they grow out of it pretty quickly
That’s a great question. There’s no reason not to use F-it sounds great, especially over the second and third chords, since F is one of the notes in those chords. The reason for sticking to C D E G and A is because it is a limited set of notes that has its own sort of melodic logic (called the C major pentatonic scale). Play them up and down a few times and you’ll hear that logic-it’s so strong that the listener can usually make sense of a melody built on these notes even when the chords underneath don’t contain those notes. The other reason to keep to these notes is that F clashes pretty strongly with the first chord, whose members are C, E, and G. Particularly it clashes with the E-E is the note the F wants to resolve to when it’s played over a C. So, basically it takes a little more musical experience to effectively use F over this chord progression, so to make things a little easier for beginners I limited it to the notes of the pentatonic scale.
Loved it!
Thank you! I'm glad!
That's a great intro - thanks for posting. It's given me plenty to practice on.

Thanks Lynn! Appreciate your specific feedback

You’re welcome!
@@SheridanSeyfried Thank you, please take care ❤️😁
I been looking for this vid but no one showed me how to use it to make a melody
Do you mean that this video helped show you how to make a melody?
@@SheridanSeyfried Yes . Can you make a vid doing pentatonic scale in patterns in a different scale
Nice
Thanks!
Very helpful, but I have to ask what is up with your fingerings? And the out of tune instrument?

Why did he choose c,d,e,g and a? Why not f for example?

Sure nice to watch fingers that aren’t jeweled or tatted up.
Ur right hand is in the pentatonic but ur left is just playing any chords? I dont get how that works
guys just drawing on his piano
Lots of talk
