    Welcome to our Pop Chord boot camp!! Today I have a FULL piano lesson for you on some of the most popular chord progressions used in music today. We are going to learn three of the most commonly used progressions, and you can practice along in real time to get better!
    We'll also be looking at several different INVERSIONS for each chord, and we will practice moving through the chord progressions using different inversions.
    I do just want to clarify a little mistake! At 7:39 I say the song "Apologize" was by Maroon 5. Of course, it was One Republic! So let me 'apologize' for that (see what I did there?!).

    When I was in my late 30's I began taking piano lessons. I took lessons for 6 months before sadly I had to stop. My biggest problem was reading the left hand with one side of my brain and the right hand with the other. The treble cleff and the bass cleff were difficult for me. We never went over the chords or progressions and I wish we had. I have Multiple Sclerosis and was told it has a big effect on my diminishing IQ. I'm going to take it up again after watching your videos. I play the flute and don't have a hard time with that be ause I began playing on the 4th grade and my long term memory is great. Short term not so much. Wish me luck I'm feeling excited about it. I'm also going to get my grandaughter who's six enrolled in lessons. ❤

    Lisaaaaa! Love the way you teach and your charisma / voice 👌🏻. And with those chord progressions you covered pretty much every song from the last century. I keep using them to improvise. I’m a newbie and I get it that you mostly teach stuff in the key of C which makes it easy to understand but how to go about if you’d like to transpose the same cord progression in another key besides learning every scale and every chord within that scale .. maybe an idea for a future tutorial ?

    • @PianoteOfficial
      @PianoteOfficial  4 роки тому

      Great idea Vito! As for playing in other keys, I definitely recommend practicing your scales and chords in different keys when you can. It could be as simple as picking a new scale to learn one week and practicing that in addition to your regular practice routine!

      @06XTOR 4 роки тому

      @@PianoteOfficial Thanks for the Reply! Your channel has helped me so much. Good to know! I am either playing Christian worship music, pop or a lot of 80s music, some country. Toto-I'll be over you, Maroon 5-she will be love , FGL-Holy, Bethel Music-Hallelujah, Starship-Sarah, Ed Sheeran-Perfect, Richard Marx-endless summer nights, Hold on, Elevation Worship-do it again, see a victory. I could go on and on but it just seems like a ton of music that i like anyway is in B flat, A flat, C sharp. Don't get me wrong there are songs in every key. But once again.. I love the channel and your tutelage. And maybe i should have been more clear when I said the "popular songs" that i like. I know a lot of people will not be into Christian music.

      Because I'm staying in the major key, so I'm relating the chords to their number in that key. You absolutely could say 1-6-3-7 but you'd have to specify that you're in the minor key!

  • @arielnapenas8240
    @arielnapenas8240 3 роки тому +2

    Thank you. Appreciate all your videos and find them so helpful. Just curious, how does one choose whether to play the root chord versus an inversion chord? Is it just how it sounds? Intermediate stage, so eager to learn, but still find myself stumped trying to determine "how" exactly to play a chord ( root or inversion?). Thank you to anyone who can shed some light.

    • @bleonardyou
      @bleonardyou 3 роки тому +2

      I’m a six month newbie on piano but have played guitar and studied theory for years. I use inversions to play in one area of the piano. For each chord in the progression I can find an inversion that allows me to barely have to move my hand. However, each inversion sounds different and I look forward to the day that I can choose an inversion based on its sound.

    • @AnthonyBrady100
      @AnthonyBrady100 Рік тому

      It may be that when a chord matches a melody note, the inversion to use, is the inversion which has at its top the same note an octave or two away from the melody note.

  • @reghobbs6019
    @reghobbs6019 5 років тому +1

    Hi Lisa, I think that your progression from the Am to the F in the last example is easier and sounds better when you made the “oops mistake” and went to the F just by playing A C F (pinky only moves up 1 note) and then onto the G. This is how I was taught when learning keyboards with the left hand chords only. It minimizes the movement and I think it sounds better. Just making my observation! I think your classes are great. My favourite progression (going back to my Guitar playing days) is the C Am F G(7). Or G Em C D7 etc. hundreds of songs use these progressions. Using the Circle of Fifths to show the minor chord to the Key you are using. Keep making the great vidoes.

    Very useful lesson, cord progressions come in useful in backing up vocals
