just about to start playing again after over forty years! i learned lots before but your lessons make me wonder why I ever stopped. You make things sound so easy and enjoyable much more than when I was a child! I will be watching for all your new videos!!! Keep them coming please!
So I finally got myself a MIDI controller... The info you have put up here is SO much easier to follow than most, Clear, Concise, and no weird Tangents to explain your process.. Thank you very much for sharing this stuff!
I’ve played many instruments for many years, I have played in many bands and have written many songs for bands to play, I was always a bit scared of music terminology and found it hard to take in, I recognised that I was using certain patterns and chords but did not understand why they worked well together. I have watched your lesson today and it seems so simple and intuitive, you are an incredible relater of information, you must be a very,very popular music teacher and deserve all the success I undoubtably believe you must have. Thank you so much for being the first you tuber to teach me so much.👍
YOU COULDN'T HAVE EXPLAINED IT IN ANY SIMPLER WAY. This is probably the best Chord Lesson out there. So basic. So fundamental. Every beginner should watch this.
As a total beginner I found this really well presented and informative. Followed the triad etc, got a bit lost a little further on but that I can come back to. Really helpful, thanks for posting
I want thank you for this video I took music theory in college over 15 years ago I've played in bands since then and have all but lost most of my theory I have been searching for a very very long time on the perfect video refresher and you have that video once again thank you so very much for providing me with the perfect RUclips video tutorial
I always found chords on piano strange to understand before, since I've been a drummer almost half my life, but this tutorial has really helped me learn how everything is structured with piano chords. Thanks so much for uploading this video, it has truly changed my whole knowledge behind the subject! :D
Incredibly helpful video. I used this technique to translate over to other keys and it works great. I've always tried to figure out what ex. "Gmin5" means and no one was able to tell me. Thank you so much!
You are welcome! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I have hundreds of free videos here on my channel and also at pianovideolessons.com If you're looking for a coach, consider my virtual studio! courses.pianovideolessons.com/virtual-piano-studio/
Wonderful tutorial , and great video:) I will be using this to practise my piano learning..... So grateful to you and other wonderful people who does these for people like myself who wants to lean.
are the major chords in every key are the 1st, 4th ans 5th chord of the scale? and the minor chords are 2nd 3rd and 6th? then the 7th is diminish? is that right?
PianoVideoLessons alright thanks a lot. is that what they called family chords? like when u want to know the whole chords of the song just determine the first chord and use it's family chords?
joe madden Major scales work from the root note and go up in this pattern *R (root note) W (whole step) H (half step)* R W W H W W W H G A B C D E F# G To put it one way, if you play chords in order keeping the F natural and not sharp, the third chord you would get would be B diminished and not B minor. Try it out and you’ll kinda get an idea.. Gmaj, Am, (B D F) vs (B D F#), Cmaj, (Dm) vs (Dmaj) and so on.. Also, the 7th note in a major scale is always a half step down from the note you started on. In C maj it’s B, B maj it’s A# E it’s D# and so on I really don’t know why, but my guess is the 7th note of the scale adds tension and has to be close to the tonic for that distinct resolution.
@@andrewsilver7048 So If It were A Scale, would it be like A B C# D F G A A# C D E F G A B C or B Scale? B C# D# E F# G# A# B? C D E F G A B C let me know..
Yes, they are minor chords. In musical harmony we refer to the I, IV and V chords as the primary chords, as they are primarily used for harmonization of melodies. The ii, iv and vi chords are the secondary chords (and also the 3 minor chords in the key) they are referred to as the secondary chords since they are used for harmonization, but less frequently than the primary chords. Hope that helps. In major keys it happens that the primaries are all major and the secondaries are all minor. In a minor key this is not the case.
In that case can you do a video on chords in any minor key? That would be really helpful. Btw you're doing a great job. You don't rush in your teaching methods and that helps learners.
The C note in the key of G is any C on the keyboard! Just like the G note in the key of G is any G on the keyboard. ...and the F# in the key of G is every F# on the keyboard. Good question, though. Thanks for asking.
dragonheart If there are sharps it's because the key you are in also has sharps. Here's the same concept in the key of G (which has F#): ruclips.net/video/-M0OChRuaFw/видео.html
I liked How you Teach People to play Piano Chords
Thanks have you learned how to play from a lead sheet? ruclips.net/video/XPw9xXHvbnE/видео.html

Hi there! You got it! In all 12 of the Major keys you will find those qualities of chords as you described!
PianoVideoLessons alright thanks a lot. is that what they called family chords? like when u want to know the whole chords of the song just determine the first chord and use it's family chords?

You are the best
why we have to use the F# and not the F on G scale??
joe madden
Major scales work from the root note and go up in this pattern
*R (root note) W (whole step) H (half step)*
R W W H W W W H
G A B C D E F# G
To put it one way, if you play chords in order keeping the F natural and not sharp, the third chord you would get would be B diminished and not B minor. Try it out and you’ll kinda get an idea.. Gmaj, Am, (B D F) vs (B D F#), Cmaj, (Dm) vs (Dmaj) and so on..
Also, the 7th note in a major scale is always a half step down from the note you started on. In C maj it’s B, B maj it’s A#
E it’s D# and so on
I really don’t know why, but my guess is the 7th note of the scale adds tension and has to be close to the tonic for that distinct resolution.
@@andrewsilver7048 So If It were A Scale, would it be like
A B C# D F G A A#
C D E F G A B C
or B Scale?
B C# D# E F# G# A# B?
C D E F G A B C
let me know..

Simply because it sounds nicer
Subbed. Thanks!
Cool! Thanks Michael!
In G Major, the A, B and E chords are called Aminor Bminor and Eminor correct? why do you label them as secondary. Its the same thing yes?
Yes, they are minor chords.
In musical harmony we refer to the I, IV and V chords as the primary chords, as they are primarily used for harmonization of melodies. The ii, iv and vi chords are the secondary chords (and also the 3 minor chords in the key) they are referred to as the secondary chords since they are used for harmonization, but less frequently than the primary chords. Hope that helps.
In major keys it happens that the primaries are all major and the secondaries are all minor. In a minor key this is not the case.
In that case can you do a video on chords in any minor key? That would be really helpful. Btw you're doing a great job. You don't rush in your teaching methods and that helps learners.
is there a pattern for keys? in C they are all white keys. however in G you skipped up to a F# before landing back on G, why is that?
nice
Im in a song key in G. But their is A major chord instead of A minor how is possible?
thank u
You are welcome!
Your video was very helpful but I didn't understand what is root position ?
Root position means that the chord has the notes stacked in thirds with the letter of t the chord name in the bottom position. I hope that helps.
Thank you for helping me out !
Super
Is the C note in the key of G, middle C?
The C note in the key of G is any C on the keyboard! Just like the G note in the key of G is any G on the keyboard. ...and the F# in the key of G is every F# on the keyboard. Good question, though. Thanks for asking.
This might be a stupid question but....can you do the same using a minor scale?....Im a beginner here :/
Yes, you can. :)
Nice sister
how do you know notes in a key
like this: ruclips.net/video/gQqyuVZPMKc/видео.html
Why is there a F# instead of a normal F in the key of G/G scale?
This video explains it all! ruclips.net/video/gQqyuVZPMKc/видео.html

Panic! At The Disco Fangirl Welcome to the black parade.
Like it madam
I forgot...how can you tell when a chord has sharps? Like the F# you had
dragonheart If there are sharps it's because the key you are in also has sharps. Here's the same concept in the key of G (which has F#): ruclips.net/video/-M0OChRuaFw/видео.html
