Totally agreed‼️He is so talented and so dedicated ❤️💜👏 Thank GOD I discovered your channel there are so many oldies I wanted to learn and you teach so well 💪💪
Nate is a master at teaching piano and covers POP songs so well! He has an SIMPLE way to make things clear to understand! Music 🎵🎶🎵🎶 was confusing til this guy opened up his website. Very FEW people on the internet are like Nate! I ve seen many videos when people have music tutorials they just do NOT know how to teach well!! Thank God 🙏 🌠🙏🌠 for Nate!
I am so glad I watched this video. I have been trying to just understand what makes a chord a chord. Now it makes WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY more sense. I really appreciate you.
This was the best explanation ever. Counting that wwhwwwh was killing me. 😂 now I just count up four and up three for major. For minor I don’t have a problem. I just lower the third by half step.
this guy has made the piano understandable to me. there has to me a mathematical formula for this thing, and now i know it, 4-3, 3-4. thanks man, i have tried to learn this thing since i was 10, it i s 15 yrs later
Great tutorial, well explained, even I can understand & get my head around this. You made a very good point about Not counting the first piano key, when counting up to the third. This I found is a common mistake, as generally in life when we count things, we count the first item. This is the first tutorial I have watched, and it appears your method of teaching may be suitable for me. I would suggest that what we are actually counting here is Intervals, and look forward to exploring some of your other tutorials. We may be on the same wavelength.
Awesome, glad you enjoyed it! And yes, through teaching private lessons I learned that counting the first note was a common mistake. You're right about intervals...I just released an intervals video you might enjoy: ua-cam.com/video/A9oHwvnKfvs/v-deo.htmlsi=4LMi2L7optuf1pfN
GREAT JOB, Nate‼️❤️💜 I wish I’ve found you 36 years ago when I started my first piano lesson because this is exactly how I wish to learn my piano and not through rote and notes 😂😅🤣
I have given up on learning to play the piano long ago. I found it boring and monotonous, especially music theory. Recently, when I discovered Echo City and listened intently to your efficient and easy teaching method, my interest came back. From that moment, I watched all your UA-cam presentations to relearn my skills. Thank you for your generous time and for sending me the piano chords for the classic piece, Can't Help Falling in Love. I am registering to be one of your numerous students Nate. Imagine how boring the world is without music. You are doing an excellent service without you being aware of it. Kudos and God bless.
Thanks, Nate for the great approachable videos. I studied music years ago and did the minimum required piano proficiency training but really nothing since. I’ve started using your videos to pick up enjoyable songs I can sing along with after many years away from music. I like your style and format! BUT, you’re killing me with the inconsistent nomenclature on screen. It’s picky but important to understanding a triad. For example: F# triad is NOT F#, Bb, Db All triads are composed of 1, 3, 5 with root being 1. The third and fifth names are modified with sharps or flats as needed to match the intervals needed for major/minor/aug/dim. So for F#: F#, G#, A#, B, C# F#, A#, C# F# is ROOT F# to A# is a THIRD F# to C# is a FIFTH Hence the 1, 3, 5 in the triad. What you show on screen is 1, 4, 6. Makes no sense. Can’t have a sixth in a triad. Yes they SOUND the same and are the same to the hands, but it’s important for learners to understand how intervals relate to chord construction, especially as people advance.
You're absolutely right, I was being lazy and letting my MIDI display software do whatever it would do. In the last couple of years I've paid more attention to chord spelling in my videos. It just unfortunately means a lot more editing time of multiple screen recordings to get it right. I do plan on redoing and improving this video at some point :)
hey man i really like your videos its explained like a helpful big brother and i just learned harvest moon thanks to you! do flat and sharp keys mean the same thing (black key) and just are a sound difference? moved a little quick and i got a bit confused there
Hi! Sharp means to go up a half step (usually to the black key right above a note), flat means to go down by a half step. So they are just two different ways to name black keys...F# and Gb are the exact same note on the keyboard, and sound the same. Cheers!
A Major triad is A C# and E - calling it Db in place of C# makes a real mess of the A scale - people need to learn scales and how the patterns for (for sharps) for C(0) to G(1#) to D(2#) to A(3#) etc and flats go c to F to Bb to Eb to Ab etc and pattern helps you recall how many flats or sharps... otherwise all your guidance is really helpful
@@harryfento you’re absolutely right - when I made this I was at the mercy of what my midi keyboard software displayed and I just capitulated haha. For this reason I’m going to redo this video soon. Cheers!
Hi I have recently got a new keyboard and am a beginner. I having trouble with my fingers pushing other notes. Any tips to stop this happening? Thank you.
Hi! Make sure you're using good technique (wrists up, fingers curved, playing on your fingertips). Take things very slow and deliberate for a while as your fingers get adjusted and figure it out. You'll get there!
Can't speak for his exact program and what it contains but we both work with a chord based approach - my program is geared towards playing accompaniment in the style you hear on classic pop and rock records. If you have questions about my courses, feel free to shoot me an email at hello@pianowithnate.com cheers!

Thank you so much for all the kind words John, it means a lot, and I'm so happy I could help you find a way in to *enjoying* learning piano
Thanks for explaining so well. Would you mind making a tutorial on how to develop hand independence, thanks
Good idea! I'm planning to make a finger independence "piano warmup" video soon

Is that a Juno 60/6 in the corner? If so, do you have a photo snapshot for mimicing piano sound on it?
Yep it’s a Juno 6! I typically don’t try and mimic piano with it, I go for the lush synthy pads 🙃
You helped me a lot and taught me how to play my first song and sing.
Pleaseeeee do 1 step forward and 3 steps back by Olivia Rodrigo
What an honor! So glad to have helped you with that
@@PianowithNate yup thank you!
It was Heather by Conan Gray and you made it so easy to follow and the sheets you produce are also amazing so thank you
