Presentation is perfect. Love the pace and modest style, no fill, no exaggerated gestures, just quality tips & techniques helping you discover another level.
This comment is for all your videos. I hope your head isn't exploding by people telling you how brilliant your teaching & explanations of 'why' things work better are. Thank you sooo much for making me want to play more.
Keeping all the chords in one octave is such cool advice for a beginner, thank you. It's obvious after you say it, but it still surprised me a little to realize "oh yeah, you can play every triad with just one octave!" Great exercise, great video. Thank you!
Love this video. I am one week without a piano on vacation. Can't wait to get home and put my fingers on the keys to practice all that I am learning from you.
I love the concepts you break down and then show ways to begin to practise them. The inversion through staying within one octave is such a simple way to grasp inversions i am gonna spend sometime on that as a practise. Working my way rhrough a chord voicing book but will be adding this to my practise. Fantastic Teaching
Nice to know I must be a pro as I know all the inversions...now if I can just figure out getting better at rhythmic bass line...how to work in the scales.(which I also know)...etc... 🤣🤣I'm in the same boat as the guitar player below... BTW..Your suggestion on how to practice is exactly how I taught myself..the tricky part is when you start using chords beyond major and minor and the inversions..I am still slow on that
Oh interesting! Oddly enough I've never come across that concept, had to look it up. If you can understand & use that concept I think these inversions will actually be easier :)
I really enjoy this video, subscribed, I'm looking for more content like this, hope you keep it coming. You're an excellent speaker, the video showing it is great, although could probably be even better if you do the piano highlighted overlay that many do. I use midi jarr, which is free, others use chordie app
2:12 😂😂definitely couldn't find the inversions on the fly when I started incorporating inversions in my playing at first. But, I did manage to memorize C, F, Dm/DMaj from (A Chord, root position), Em from (G chord, root position), D#Maj 2nd inversion, G#Maj 3rd inversion and C#major 2nd inversion. The rest, I'm not able to identify in a blink of an eye.. the only problem I'm having is that some chords shapes are uncomfortable for me. Especially when I have to position my fingers in between the 2 black keys..somethings I would accidentally his nearby notes...
When I'm playing piano as a beginner is it ok if i use only 2nd inversion in a whole song chords progression? Because my muscle memory is using only the 2nd inversion at my right-hand then my left hand is the bass. My problem is if I mix the 1st inversion and 2nd inversion. I got confused and I got mistaken easily while I was playing the song. because my muscle memory knows only 2nd inversion. Is that ok?
I really appreciate you teaching style. I am a guitar player now learning piano. As a lesson request, could you teach some Rhythm accompanying patterns for different grooves to apply to these chords. As a guitar player we have strumming patterns and fingerpicking patterns. Is there a a basic set of patterns or a way to approach the playing of chords in time? Thank you!
Yo wait how does this not have more views? Thank you for helping with this topic, I feel like I've been stuck at the intermediate level for so long but this might take me to the next level. Great video!
Appreciate it! This can absolutely make the difference for folks wanting to sound more professional when playing chord progressions. Let me know how it goes!
Dude, your channel is gonna explode You're such a good video teacher it's unreal You answer all the questions I have without even asking Please keep it up!
Thank you great advice I'm practicing inversions as I speak..cmaj. ...Dmin.. all white keys pretty simple to start and I got a looper I recorded it on RC-600.. every household should have one...
I just bought a Yamaha p-45 and I love it is a simple one no fancy bells and whistles.. just piano organ strings harpsichord ... simple piano for simple folk.. about 2 months ago.. on my way... In my Rock and roll fantasy

Awesome tips! Especially the third one. And also very encouraging to keep practicing 👍🏽
Amazing!
Very well explained, thank you 👍

Wow, this is exactly what I have been looking for!! You really are a very gifted teacher. Please keep going.
THIS IS TEACHING. Finally found someone who knows how to teach. Thank God!!
Hallelujah ❤
I’m learning to play chord inversions, still not too good grabbing them on the fly, but I’m learning . Thanks for all your help.
I always lack the motivation to practice inversions😅 but your tutorials make practicing inversions more fun for me, thanks for the great video
Happy to hear that!
I have seen 3 of your videos so far. I have to be honest, probably the 3 top videos on piano technique and theory that I have ever seen
Wow thank you!
❤❤❤ You have a very wonderful way of teaching ❤❤❤ . Thank you so much Ted.
You are a good teacher..i learned a lot today..thank you
I was wondering how to practice inversion so that I would be able to remember them and find them quickly. Thank you!
This is a great video and I’ve been around music my entire life.
Oh thank you, just what I needed....excellent tutorial!
Excellent!

Thank you very much ❤
Wow, merci beaucoup. I just learned about Rule of the Octave and this seems like the logical continuation of that.
Oh interesting! Oddly enough I've never come across that concept, had to look it up. If you can understand & use that concept I think these inversions will actually be easier :)
really good video! taught me quite a bit
commenting so this video will hopefully be seen by more
Can you do a video on learning inversions with 7th jazz chords? Thanks.

Hey man good classes! I'm beguiner jazz piano...I want to learn to play!
Thank you so much! TED.
I'm from Brazil.
Amazing!
I didn't know about Step 3 Listen For Melody 😢 why am i learning this too late
I'm hearing Taylor's voice in the 2nd range you picked

Amazing coincidence - this is the next video I'm going to publish! :)
You are like an answer to a prayer, I play better, and I've seen just two videos. The possibilities are really endless. Thank you!

Very well done. Makes it so easy to learn. Please keep it up.
Excellent lesson on chord inversions. I love the exercise.
Is there a trick to choosing the correct inversion?
approach it by taste or whichever one transitions easily in proximity to the next chord
Thank you Ted for great tips!
Dude, your channel is gonna explode

Please keep it up!
