I played guitar for over 30 years and trying to understand the nature of cords. I only new the cords but never had a lesson explained to me like this. Great to have as my music teacher.
Great! So nice to have all chords in 1 video :) There is also 1 nice trick for the 7th chords. Sometimes it's not that obvious what is the 7th step of the scale if you don't know the scale, let's say D major scale. To find the 7th for Dmaj7 just go 1 semitone to the left from D - and it's C# (So Dmaj7=D F# A C#). With minor 7th it's similar but with 2 semitones to the left. So From D, 2 semitones to the left is C (Dmin7=D F A C). Some time ago I created a video about it so feel free to check it out :) it's quite useful when you want to quickly find the 7th :)
I bought a keyboard about a month ago, and this channel has been my number 1 source of learning, thanks a lot! This video is great and easy to understand 💙
My goodness! This has been at the top of my wish list for a long time, but never got around to completely research it. Today, it plops right into my lap. Thank you!!! Never really understood diminished and augmented cords, and you just blew my mind.
Awesome A good teacher is always a good teacher.👍 Please, my problem is when to apply some of them while playing. I studied most of them before, but if you are not using them, they will just disappear. Please play a song, illustrating when to apply them while playing songs and this will also be helpful for people watching you. Thanks and God bless you.
Thank you Lisa. We always appreciate your patience to teach us the theory of music. Today' theory together with inversions is the best way to burn my brain.
Thanks so much for this. I have a few piano students and this is so helpful for me to teach them a style other than the strict classical that I was taught. My students are making me be a student again.
What a beautiful video. Teaching is surely an art. I use to think of these chords as impossible to learn and understand now that notion has gone all of a sudden. Thank you ❤️
Thanks Lisa! But the missing bit of information is that it's the 3rd and 5th note FROM THE SCALE! For example, the first 3 notes in the scale of D are D (1), Fsharp (3) and A (5). If you flatten the 3rd to get D, F and A you now have D minor. I'm sure this is obvious to some, but if, like me, you made your first triad on C, then made your next on D (which will be D minor)... but you then tried to flatten it using the minor rule on the chart (ie flatten the 3rd) then it doesn't work! You have to know that when you get to the D you must now think of the notes in the scale of D.
It's been less than one week since I started learning piano and I have been loving your channel. Thank you for all your content. I was wondering if there is a document that shows which finger to use to play each note while playing a chord? Would it be possible to update/add another image notating the finger alongside the formulas?
Thank u ☺️ u helped alot of beginners like me, i hope this channel will get more subscribers because these types of lessons are paid in school teachers
oh my god! is it true? you really replied? Thank you. You're the only one youtuber who replied to me. Thank you ☺️ Hoping that one day, i will become as good as you playing piano.
Great video. Thank you for sharing the basics, how to form the chords. Suggestion: Could you speak a bit slower? (yes I know we can pause, rewind, and watch) but it helps newbies like me. :D Thank you so much though for making this video.
Hello Professor ....great job you did...can you also explain the symbols...Example: I know how to say C major 7th...the symbol correct me if I am wrong...C7...the symbol for C minor 7....C_7 C Diminished 7....Cdim7...I let you do this ..teaching us the symbols....thanks again
Thankyou for this Lisa Witt, very usefull and clear. Question? what if we are using another scale than C major? Does this method work then or do we use the circle of fifths?
Hey Lisa and Pianote Team, Thanks again for another super helpful video! My question is about the fingering for the four note chords. Some shapes are really awkward to make, especially with stubby fingers. Is there a formula or do I just have to get my stretch on? Can some keys be played with the left hand? Like maybe the 1? I notice that the 1 is never flatted or sharped.
This is possibly a really daft question, but are the chords the same for the left hand as they are for the right? As a learner I am ok with my right hand and most of the sheet music for beginners I have only one or two notes are played with the right hand at one time but the left hand has the chords. I'm confused!
This was interesting & informative! Thx! NOW...what about all those weird chords. G7sus4, Eb9(#11), Ab6??? (Just glancing thru a pop book l have.) And l see chords on lead sheets that are 11 & 9s. I know l had this in theory classes, but they always make me crazy!!! And having very small hands...well that's no fun at all! (Can't play octaves in R hand, can sometimes in L!) I enjoy your videos!!!
Yes, I found this very helpful. I knew part of it, but you explained some of the chords that I never "bothered" with. But, I can see/hear from your lesson today how important it is to learn these other chords. It's amazing how much better a song sounds by just learning, for instance, the C7 chord. As an example, the song "What A Friend We Have in Jesus" sounds so much better with just that one chord change (in appropriate places in the song). Applying alternate chords can/does change the "feel" of a song. You are such a joy as a teacher; your enthusiasm is contagious. I'm new to your channel; just subscribed last week. Just as feedback to you, I stumbled onto your channel through a TikTok video. I'm planning to spend time going through your previous UA-cam and TikTok videos. Do you have another channel where you just play piano music instead of teaching the music? Hope you have a great weekend. 🙂
This is soooo hard. I can’t digest all of this in one class as a beginner. 😢Is the course offered in the paid program goes just as fast and hard? I was planning to take the paid version. Now I’m hesitant. If it’s gonna go this fast, I’m gonna get lost. What should I do? This is why I failed out of most of my music classes in college. They were going so fast and I had no foundation of it all.
This is great. What would also add to it would be adding the chord symbols because I still get mixed up with things like C7 and didn't used to know what a plus or little circle was. They could be added to the description. Thanks.
notes are like the letters that make up a word and chords are like the words that make up sentences. those sentences are the patterns of chords that you use to make a song!

Thank you!!
Can she play the chords from "Rolling in the Deep" by Adele? How can the chord pattern be played to easily match the melody?
I bought the Chords and Scales book. Love it!
It would be nice to hear these chords in a popular songs, to see how they cosy up!
beautiful
I played guitar for over 30 years and trying to understand the nature of cords. I only new the cords but never had a lesson explained to me like this.
Great to have as my music teacher.
I’ve not had such understanding in my life! I’m playing piano beautifully now!!!
Great! So nice to have all chords in 1 video :)

another good approach!

promise we've got lots more to come too :)
Mine too hahaha
Which one you bought
@@Godddd144 it's the Yamaha PSR-e360dw, it's pretty 'simple' but it sounds really really good
@@Ezekku ohhh nice
I'm planning to buy yamaha es373
This lady is a great teacher I'm only understanding her teaching she knows how to teach and she makes it fun so that you won't get bored
My goodness! This has been at the top of my wish list for a long time, but never got around to completely research it. Today, it plops right into my lap. Thank you!!! Never really understood diminished and augmented cords, and you just blew my mind.
Finally! Now I understand the difference between Cmaj7, dominant 7 and "C7". Been confused for years. Thank you!
Every piano player needs to watch this video
I’m about four weeks into playing piano. I am very much appreciating your lessons!
"I don't love the sound of this chord..... but it exists!" always finding the silver lining! :D
I love the suspended 4th or sus4. I love the sound when its followed by it's root chord.
Some of those chords have a lovely "dark and stormy night" vibe! Cool!
Your method of learning the Keyboard is so easy to work with, Kudos Lisa
Thank you Lisa for your guidance. God bless. Fr. Joe A.
All these maj and min 7’s sound so beautiful! 🤯
You are simply the best. The best for someone like me who just bought a keyboard during the pandemic lockdown.
Thank you for always teaching with so much ease. You make piano lessons super interesting and create an eagerness to give them a try! 😉😀
Glad you like them!
Musical progress, HERE I COME!!
Very nice teaching,making learning these things believable and attainable , Thankyou .
Awesome
A good teacher is always a good teacher.👍
Please, my problem is when to apply some of them while playing.
I studied most of them before, but if you are not using them, they will just disappear.
Please play a song, illustrating when to apply them while playing songs and this will also be helpful for people watching you.
Thanks and God bless you.
You make it look so simple I play by ear with one had (no chords ) ….yet 👍👍👍thank you so much now I will try chords 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you Lisa. Love and light❤
Thank you Lisa. We always appreciate your patience to teach us the theory of music. Today' theory together with inversions is the best way to burn my brain.
our pleasure!
Hello, Lisa. Excellent lesson and very useful. I love it.Thank you so much. God bless you always. Greetings since Cuba🎹🎶💕
呢首歌個人認為係學友近期最好嘅作品。成張唱片都係好好聽嘅簡單爵士樂，不過香港唔流行，十分可惜。
Heartfelt thanks to you for helping me learn playing the keyboard. You're the best. ❤️
So simple - thank you!
Thanks so much for this. I have a few piano students and this is so helpful for me to teach them a style other than the strict classical that I was taught. My students are making me be a student again.
What a beautiful video. Teaching is surely an art. I use to think of these chords as impossible to learn and understand now that notion has gone all of a sudden. Thank you ❤️
So so encouraging to read comments like this!
To be honest! This channel is what I want related to piano... Quality videos, great explanation, understandable, etc. Thanks to the team and you!! 👏🏻
soooo happy to hear that!
This is not fair. Cheat Code. Insane. Thank you
Thank you for this. Love it and enjoy them all together in one video along with chord sheet. Chords made easy. Yay!!!! You’re awesome! 👏👏❤️
Hmm, as a guitarist I expected to see a sus4 in there somewhere, and maybe even a 6 - why so many of the lesser knowns (eg 7b5) in a beginner lesson?
Thanks Lisa ❤❤❤❤
Brooo! It makes sense! It makes sense! 🤯 Thank you 🥹
This is ridiculously helpful! Thank you ☺️👌🏼
very glad to help!!
I’m a big fan of your now. Will watch all of your videos. Thanks for teaching us!
Always excellent ……Thankyou so much
I Just have to tell you, YOU ARE AWESOME 💗
What a great lesson and a free guide sheet too! Many thanks
The background piece is fire😍😍

I lob Eb as it has both a very happy satire and a sad kinda tonality to it
this video helped me so much

Madam please can you make up a complete tutorial for"lesson for playing all 12 keys"
Lisa mam, make a playlist from where we have to start....
absolutely! there is this great effort but all the content is kind of disorganized. A playlist may help
all of the organized content is at pianote.com! this is just a nice way for us to get beginners started on the piano for free :)
@@PianoteOfficial
Okay
Hello Thank you for Teaching Us. But I have question on How to play Bm/A piano Chord. Thank you so much
Excelent!!!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Do you have practice exercises for all of these?
Does this same principle apply to minor chords? I tried with A minor and got sorta confused
This is possibly a really daft question, but are the chords the same for the left hand as they are for the right? As a learner I am ok with my right hand and most of the sheet music for beginners I have only one or two notes are played with the right hand at one time but the left hand has the chords. I'm confused!
Can we have a video on 9th, 11th, 13th chords to and how to play them....Plzzzzzzzzz
This was interesting & informative! Thx!
NOW...what about all those weird chords. G7sus4, Eb9(#11), Ab6??? (Just glancing thru a pop book l have.) And l see chords on lead sheets that are 11 & 9s.

Lisa please I have request... Can you please do a tutorial on how to play "The Entertainer " by Scott Joplin
I have a question. If I want to find the D major chord, do I just count white keys?
You must have flexible fingers to play the piano ,good hearing nad motor coordination, also attention divisibility
This is soooo hard. I can’t digest all of this in one class as a beginner. 😢Is the course offered in the paid program goes just as fast and hard? I was planning to take the paid version. Now I’m hesitant. If it’s gonna go this fast, I’m gonna get lost. What should I do? This is why I failed out of most of my music classes in college.

How do you use all these variation when reading a partition?
Can you teach the flowy style
Nice earings
Do I have to play same cords with my left hand?
be bless .please attach for me all piano of pdf from start biginners upto to now
Does that mean it's the same way for scale's?
Wait, so if I memorise these chords and how to write them, I can play any sheet music if it has the chord names? 😐
👏👏👏❤️❤️
This is great. What would also add to it would be adding the chord symbols because I still get mixed up with things like C7 and didn't used to know what a plus or little circle was. They could be added to the description. Thanks.
I’m new to piano what are chords for?
notes are like the letters that make up a word and chords are like the words that make up sentences. those sentences are the patterns of chords that you use to make a song!
Can i request a song?
It’s “every breath you take”-police
