I took piano lessons when I was 7 years old. We didn’t have a piano at home for me to practice on. My grandma had a piano and I’d go practice on weekends. My grandma played piano by ear and I watched her. Well when I went for my lessons I would try playing my lesson by ear! My teacher told me if I didn’t stop trying to play by ear I would never learn to play! I didn’t know what cords were, didn’t get that far. I just learned what the notes were on the piano. I proved her wrong! If I lesson to a song enough and can remember the tune and can set down and play it in the key of C. I’m learning more here from this guy than I did from her! It’s good to know the three cords to start with. I’m 82 yrs old now and still learning! Great site here.
You are absolutely right. I started learning the violin at the age of 7, according to the music not by ear, and even the four strings of the violin were never in tune. I make noise every day and annoy my neighbours. After my last music class four years later, I still don't know any basic music knowledge, I just pull the strings in the correct position according to the sheet music. And the violin became the most painful memory in my life. I'm 61 now and want to start learning the keyboard, hopefully I can keep playing at your age. I wish you health, happiness and longevity
Bro. Seriously. I practiced piano after my dad passed away a couple years ago. Got decent with chords and a few scales. But inversions were killing me and my progress. Thanks for the great video and getting straight to the point without asking for money. This is what makes me want to donate money for videos. Rather than this Ridley guy who wants 5 grand. I’ll stick with you.
Best tutorial ever on chords... I took lessoNs for 2 years as a child,played fur Elise and the first movement of moonlight sonata at the recitals but only ever knew how to read the treble clef. I watched my teacher play the songs and copied her until I memorized them. Never learned a chord or scale...now I'm 43 and I only can play those few songs I memorized as a child. I want to learn the right way so that I can play anything I want with or without sheetmuzic. I've watched a few videos and yours is the only one that made chords so easy to understand!!
Agree with others that this is the best tutorial I have seen for memorizing chords - very intuitive, logical, and easy to remember. Thank you so much!!!
This is by far the best vid I seen on memorizing chords so far as a beginner. As a visual person trying to memorize random series of letters feels like learning a new alphabet 😂😂😂 This will help a ton thank you!!!
@@AaronBowley Lol .... I said as a beginner. And my brain understands better with visual patterns, not so well with letter sequences. Just made it easier for me in regards to what I was trying to figure out at the time.
@@JellyMelodies i teach music and with my new/beginner students we learn intervals on the first day (how to construct a major or minor chord from any note) .
I'll be damned if this isn't one of the most useful lessons I've seen for beginners. I just learned the hard way recently and I wish this was the very first video i watched before starting piano.
I'm 66 and always had a piano or keyboard in the house. Took a few lessons when i was around 8-9, then again around 19-20. But I mostly taught myself by ear, learning chords. But I feel I've been stuck at the same level for years and years. People who aren't musicians hear me play and think I'm good but I know how much better I could be. I'm currently trying to decide which online course I'd like to try. I'd appreciate any suggestions for someone like me that doesn't really need an absolute beginner's course. Thanks!
@@PianoFromScratch Imagine how much easier it would be if every chord has the same fingering/pattern... Wait, that actually exists. It's called an "isomorphic keyboard". ruclips.net/video/L8zkQp4egp0/видео.html

Absolute Chad. No intro just straight into the topic love this format. ❤️ The book I'm learning from only teaches through songs, but I really wanted to get the scales down to be able to write songs more easily. Thanks so much for making this video! ❤️🙏
I designed something very similar about 7 years ago for my piano improv students. I figure we're all basically spatial learners when using chord progressions on the piano. Thx for your detailed video.
I know I don't know you personally but I was here when you had about 2k subscribers and I'm SO HAPPY to see how you've grown and blown up!!! So deserved! My new keyboard just arrived so I can't wait to get started properly. It has touch sensitive keys so I think that will really help me. It's the Yamaha PSR E373 if you're interested! Thanks so much for your incredible content! (That ending caught me off guard though haha! 🤣 I was like, "Oh! Guess I'll go practice then!)
@@PianoFromScratch thank you so much!! 😭😭I finally managed to nail some chord changes yesterday that I really wasn't able to do before so I'm making progress! Started teaching my 5 year old son too and he pics it up quicker than me! 🤣🤣
💯 Hi buddy! Can you test us in one of your videos: for ex.. naming a specific major/minor chord, and we play it at the moment and so on.. I want to know how quick I react :) thank you
I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times. 78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways. 81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times. 88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders. 92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come; and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified. 99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations." 102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." .....2 Esdras 7:75 /////////////
My dad used to play piano. He learned when he was a young boy, and when I was a kid, he used to play in pubs and clubs, so I've always wanted to learn to play myself. Now, far too many years later, I have my own piano and I'm determined to learn. This video is brilliant. Learning any instrumemt is daunting and it's good to have an idea where to start. Thanks for sharing.
Genius! By FAR the best explanation video I've seen - just getting back into piano after many years away - thank you for this! I look forward to the rest of your videos.
I just stumbled on this video today while working out in the gym! This is a GREAT video! I love learning patterns; it's so much more functional. I'm primarily a guitar player and drummer. But I want to improve my keys skills, and this video is really helpful.
Good explanation. I used to wonder about the whys of chords, like why is a chord labeled a Gm or a G7 or a Gsus4 or even a Gdim. Knowing the scales you can easily make chord patterns on the keyboard. The magic and mathematics of music is amazing! 😀
I made flash cards in high school of every chord type including altered chords. I'd have one pile of each chord and shuffle those and turn them over and play them instantly. I'd have another pile of cards of ALL of the possible chords (There are hundreds) mixed up and would do the same, turn them over and play them without pause. Then when I saw chord charts I had internalized every possible chord combination through my own flash chord training.
@@Sprucingiscool you may try find an anki deck with chords. I'm not sure if they exist since I've never looked for these things 😂but people nowadays make Anki decks for every imaginable purpose
That's a very nice thing! That's probably very efficient, and goes along what's been said in this video, this is a way of practicing them. Actually, following the same idea I think I'll be doing a small Python script that does that automatically with text-to-speech which automatically says out loud a chord every 2 seconds or something like that. I guess this approach can be quite efficient for internalizing many things when learning piano, by actually showing random things and doing them. That comes along smart ways to memorize them like this video does.
Thank you so much you didn’t start off talking about who you were who you know who they knew and so forth and so on and before you know it half of the videos it’s just rambling on you did a super job you’ve got right to the point and thank you I just subscribe to you and I press the like button thank you❤️😊👍👍🥹
For me, what worked was just looking up songs on Ultimate Guitar. In retrospect I started off with a lot of songs with chords in the key of C (totally not on purpose) and would sometimes discover a song with a flat or sharp that in the moment I would think ehhh it doesn't seem too hard which would over time open me up to songs with even more sharps/flats. I was at an age where I would just play songs on repeat so memorizing wasn't an issue. If this video seems confusing, I would try devoting a ton of energy to one chord song a week and always try to find a song with at least one new chord. This would be an organic way of learning but I think it also depends on your learning style!
Same, I learned them through being exposed to them, although it did take longer to really know all the chords which root is a flat or sharp, up to the point where you don't have to even think about it.
You’re a great teacher dude, will be checking more vids out as I’m at the beginning of my piano playing journey (27 yo) and this video was very helpful, thank you
Really enjoyed the practice tips for this, thank you - some great ideas! I have really focused on just locking in major chords recently -- practising first by group and then going up in half steps, hands separately then together etc -- and it has made the world of difference. I can feel the muscle memory developing and my speed of finding each chord increasing noticeably. Thanks again for the great content and guidance!
My piano teacher who taught me chords taught me this building all major chords with the pattern of starting at the root note, then moving 4 half steps to the next note, then 3 half steps to the last note of the chord. He taught the minor as root, then 3 half steps, then 4 half steps. This works out to be exactly what you taught. He also showed me the pattern for building 6ths, 7ths, augmented, diminished, etc. As he added more chord types, I would have me practice them in songs. He was a jazz pianist and was awesome. I wish I would have had him as my teacher for longer. I still have my list of how to build the chords 35 years later!
Coming from guitar, this works for me. All ive ever really practiced is shapes, i've added their corresponding names after. Thanks for this, this was very cool! Now i get it. Learning music theory would be beneficial but i just cannot seem to get myself to do it.
Been learning piano for about a year now. This channel is what I’ve been searching for THE ENTIRE TIME. The PDFs too! Good pedagogy is severely lacking, not just on RUclips, but in general. Yours, my friend, is exemplary!
Sir - you are too good an Instructor - superb ! In fact you are '' Excellent " ! You made memorising chords, and how to make Majors and Minors sooo..... very simple ! Well done Sir - Plz keep it up ! Warm Regards.
You are an excellent teacher💛⭐ I follow these videos and I remember everything!! I will def get the chords cheat sheet! Thank you so much for providing this for free. Ipayed for a piano course but his teaching is half as excellent as yours⚡
Been learning piano from Simply Piano, and the first thing I noticed after watching your video is that it's teaching you to play C, F, A instead of F, A, C, for the F chord, and for the G chord it teaches is B, D, G instead of G, B, D as in your video. From what little music theory I've learned so far I understand that this is still correct, but it's interesting to me that Simply is teaching the chords that way instead of the way you're showing to me in the video which seems more intuitive (I was originally thinking that the "root" note was always the leftmost one when I first learned of the concept) so I'm not sure why they're teaching the cords that way. Maybe they're trying to get you used to the idea of stretching to reach notes, maybe they're trying to keep your hand as close to C as possible, I don't know.
Simply Piano are showing you chords for a beginners song and not showing you " Root " basic song chords.. They are using inversions. This is for a couple of reasons. 1; Less 'complete' movement of your right hand... keeping the hand in the one position, as much as possible.. only changing one or two fingers.. 2; same chord but using a different 'voicing'.. ie. bass note.. or slash chord eg: F/C = 2nd inversion of the F chord.. You are spot on with your F & G chords in root position.. F chord = F, A, C .. G chord = G, B, D.... 1st , 3rd, 5th. F chord -- root position -- F, A, C. 1st inversion -- A, C, F. 2nd inversion -- C, F, A. G chord -- root position -- G, B, D. 1st inversion -- B, D, G. 2nd inversion -- D, G, B. ALL of the other chords follow the same sequence whether major or minor, dim, aug. or other.. Jazz chords may have a 3rd inversion using the 7th note of the scale ( chord ) please don't go there.. If we all just used the root chord for every song on the planet.. music would be so BORING.... Inversions add a little spice of life in music as does so many many other things.. I hope you will try the inversions one note at a time and listen to the difference.. I think you will like.. Cheers..
Your video has been a tremendous help to me and I've spent the afternoon practicing your advice. Thanks so very much, I now actually believe I can play something other than bagpipes.
Remembering all major and minor chords has such a significant impact, it helps me to derive more complex chords, better understand chord progression (hence instantly recognize key signature), transcribe songs without using chord apps and etc. Old school but extremely important, it all starts with scales!
Awesome video. And you could probably take it further? Notice that each group of chords he demonstrates - C F and G (white white white) for example - follows the classic I / IV / V chord progression used in hundreds of popular songs. So after you've mastered what he's showing in the video, you should be able to play La Bamba or Twist and Shout in all 12 keys (starting with the keys of C (WWW), A (WBW) and Ab (BWB)). Then the logical sequel(s) to this video might be to do the whole thing again (a) using first inversions throughout; (b) using second inversions throughout; (c) starting in root position or 1st inversion or 2nd inversion for the I chord, and then fingering the easiest and closest inversions of the IV and V chords. By then you can do it all eyes closed!
Timestamp 8:42 is what finally did it for me. After spending a lot of time on other channel's videos and websites without them helping at all (like learning all the "oreo" chords [black white black] or the "hamburgers" [white black white], etc.), once I did the practicing suggested in this video, it instantly clicked. And I mean instant. Suddenly I could play all the major keys without really thinking about it. In my next piano lesson, my teacher said "D major" and I immediately found the chord, whereas before it was such a struggle. Thank you!
This is absolutely gold!!!! thank you, I know some people wants to know the whys and hows, but i just want to know where to put my fingers, thank u a million for this content!
Great vid, thanks! Also 👇 God LOVES YOU so MUCH that He sent His only son to die in YOUR PLACE so you won't have to die under Gods judgment but live forever IF you fully trust in Jesus. So believe in Him and repent From thinking wickedness please🙏🙏🙏
Fun video. Not everyone who learns to play is taught theory properly, and once you can read music then you can get away with knowing very little theory at all. Modern compositional software is so good that you hardly even need to know theory to even write music (once again, if you can read it). I think one thing worth emphasizing is that beginners shouldn't be scared of the black keys...Sure, it's easier when you're in your first few weeks and just trying to remember ABCDEFGA, but once you're at the point of trying to play songs, transposing everything to (or searching for scores transposed to) C Major or A Minor is counterproductive. You play the white keys differently when you have black ones in the song and it's good to get used to that as soon as possible, and it's actually easier to play more complex stuff when there are more black keys. F Minor is delightful for arpeggios, it has 4 flat notes in the key and the white notes are the 1-5-7 so chances are that you're playing black keys 3/4 of the time. I shudder to think what songs in that key would be like to play if you transposed them to A Minor...
I have been trying to get the hang of chords for a long time and just couldn't quite wrap my head around it for some reason. During this video a light bulb went off in my head and it all makes sense now. Thank you so much sir.
Ok so… I thought these chords were gonna be hard to learn and I’m a self taught wanna be piano player I can play like if you showed me something basically but playing by ear is my goal and I’m kind of getting there I can probably find the piano key to the sound I’m hearing but it’ll be a min but that’s all irrelevant to hear I REALLY JUST LEARNED ALL THE MAJOR AND MINOR CHORDS LIKE THAT?? Like aren’t these all the chords that people play or is there a lot more than just major and minor chords 😅
I studied piano in university and of course, never learned this. However, this is a helpful way of learning about the pattern and feel of chords! Nice! Thanks!
Thank you so so much. Finally not a video teaching me some songs or some '4 important chords'. I wanna learn this properly so thank you for this!!! Sub😊
Thank you very much for showing us, organizing, and visualizing this pattern Piano From Scratch!!!!! 7:24 / 11:40 I've learned that the two white keys in the middle are actually half notes and you have to jump over one of them to get a full note in either direction. Even though they sound continuous if you just play the white notes. (Maybe I'm tone deaf to white continuous)? I don't know..
I’m a good fan of you!Your approach is simply the best👍 Does the above not include All major Blacks like F# c# and Cb majors! Does it not need any mention! Please clear my doubts🙏
Great lesson... carrying on you can flatten both the 3rd and 5th to make diminished. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 C D E F G A B C C Eb Gb = C diminished To diminish or take away . I see a pattern of chords 135, 34, 43 34 meaning 3 half steps at first then 4 half steps or 43 4 half steps then 3half steps. 135 351 513 Flipping the order to invert or inversions of the same chord. Someone pointed out you dont play 135 and 135 both hands it sounds redundant and 1st semester. But if you change them up 135 left hand and 34 or 43. right hand suddenly it starts to sound better . The person illustrated it stating Paul McCartney did this and you instantly hear it in Beatles songs. Same chord but inverted. same notes but different order.. The inversions slow me to a snails pace but I think its a matter of working them out and cherry picking the ones that grab you so you know by trying each type which sounds best to your ear.. So its your favorite choices of what combinations to play either hand. The person illustrated it by trying to play the same chords both hands then changing it up and instantly you hear it become more musical or the best combinations leap out too you so you notate ok those pair up and those do also and if you know them that good then you can screw chords up on purpose to make people laugh. Cause by then your gonna know the FUGLY ONES and its fun to use them knowing full well for the expressions you will get. Like Yosemite Sam showing Bugs Bunny how to play the tune right.... we should all be able to play that wrong also or know what the wrong note was or be damned to hell for eternity...
Hello guys I’m actually new to this key , scale thing so if it is E minor scale for singing it is Em F# Gmajor Am Bm Cmajor and Dminor right ?🙏🏻 The key of my song is Eminor and I was singing it in Eminor, Aminor, B minor , GMajor, and CMajor is that right ?
Nice job. I learned piano way before RUclips so I never had anyone show this method. In saying that, I was always visual and muscle memory (the fingers naturally felt the distance; like your major 5th example). It was interesting to watch you walk through what I had been doing for years, all the while wondering is this how other people do it. ;)
How I memorise? Find the perfect fifth, like from C to G, Put your middle finger in the middle, if it feels like it can’t go further up naturally, then its major and vice versa. The more you play with them, the more you memorise. Also scales.
Its really amazing tutorial. Im just learning how to play piano and i think your tutorial is more precise and easy. Although its too fast. Could i get the free pdf 12 chords? I couldn't open it.
Well this sucks..maybe I have abused too many drugs because my brain is overloading and smoking..I cannot seem to retain information nearly as good as I used too..very frustrating.😮
Tryna learn the basics on piano, cuz tryna learn those easy songs immediately is a pain. Getting use out of a old keyboard I never got to use before. Tryna practice everyday is tricky cuz of other stuff like school and hobbies like drawing hehe. Videos a bit to fast to follow with a keyboard, if I were to slow down the speed I wouldnt be able to learn to recognize these chords things. Will likely needmto repeat this vid again cuz its close to done and now im confused again. Though this is a good video, the struggle is real.
I am 26 years old and I am starting to play piano. There is none of our family that plays piano. Can you give me advises or techniques? I will appreciate it ❤🥰

I took piano lessons when I was 7 years old. We didn’t have a piano at home for me to practice on. My grandma had a piano and I’d go practice on weekends. My grandma played piano by ear and I watched her. Well when I went for my lessons I would try playing my lesson by ear! My teacher told me if I didn’t stop trying to play by ear I would never learn to play! I didn’t know what cords were, didn’t get that far. I just learned what the notes were on the piano. I proved her wrong! If I lesson to a song enough and can remember the tune and can set down and play it in the key of C. I’m learning more here from this guy than I did from her! It’s good to know the three cords to start with. I’m 82 yrs old now and still learning! Great site here.
That's amazing, thank you for sharing!
Awesome
You are absolutely right. I started learning the violin at the age of 7, according to the music not by ear, and even the four strings of the violin were never in tune. I make noise every day and annoy my neighbours. After my last music class four years later, I still don't know any basic music knowledge, I just pull the strings in the correct position according to the sheet music. And the violin became the most painful memory in my life. I'm 61 now and want to start learning the keyboard, hopefully I can keep playing at your age. I wish you health, happiness and longevity

Your stories are very inspiring. I'm a young artist looking to grow. I hope you guys the best thank you for sharing your stories :)
Wow! This is really motivating a still a new student at keys but really hoping to become a great player
Bro. Seriously. I practiced piano after my dad passed away a couple years ago. Got decent with chords and a few scales. But inversions were killing me and my progress. Thanks for the great video and getting straight to the point without asking for money. This is what makes me want to donate money for videos. Rather than this Ridley guy who wants 5 grand. I’ll stick with you.
Best tutorial ever on chords... I took lessoNs for 2 years as a child,played fur Elise and the first movement of moonlight sonata at the recitals but only ever knew how to read the treble clef. I watched my teacher play the songs and copied her until I memorized them. Never learned a chord or scale...now I'm 43 and I only can play those few songs I memorized as a child. I want to learn the right way so that I can play anything I want with or without sheetmuzic. I've watched a few videos and yours is the only one that made chords so easy to understand!!
Same story !! I’m 21 now and I want to learn the right way
Same here.
Agree with others that this is the best tutorial I have seen for memorizing chords - very intuitive, logical, and easy to remember. Thank you so much!!!
I can’t watch this I keep looking at memes! NOOOO I WANT TO KNOW THIS
This is by far the best vid I seen on memorizing chords so far as a beginner. As a visual person trying to memorize random series of letters feels like learning a new alphabet 😂😂😂 This will help a ton thank you!!!
Glad it was helpful!
wtf is random? there’s a specific interval between notes lol just 2/3 or 3/2 for basic minor/major chord
@@AaronBowley Lol .... I said as a beginner. And my brain understands better with visual patterns, not so well with letter sequences. Just made it easier for me in regards to what I was trying to figure out at the time.
@@AaronBowley when learning new things it can seem quite alien before understanding intervals etc
@@JellyMelodies i teach music and with my new/beginner students we learn intervals on the first day (how to construct a major or minor chord from any note) .
I'll be damned if this isn't one of the most useful lessons I've seen for beginners. I just learned the hard way recently and I wish this was the very first video i watched before starting piano.
I'm 66 and always had a piano or keyboard in the house. Took a few lessons when i was around 8-9, then again around 19-20. But I mostly taught myself by ear, learning chords. But I feel I've been stuck at the same level for years and years. People who aren't musicians hear me play and think I'm good but I know how much better I could be. I'm currently trying to decide which online course I'd like to try. I'd appreciate any suggestions for someone like me that doesn't really need an absolute beginner's course. Thanks!
I love this concept of grouping the chords by pattern. Great lesson, thank you so very much!
Hopefully just makes them easier to memorise in the beginning
@@PianoFromScratch Imagine how much easier it would be if every chord has the same fingering/pattern...
Wait, that actually exists. It's called an "isomorphic keyboard". ruclips.net/video/L8zkQp4egp0/видео.html
I took piano lessons when I was 7 years old. We didn’t have a piano at home for me to practice on. My grandma had a piano and I’d go practice on weekends. My grandma played piano by ear and I watched her. Well when I went for my lessons I would try playing my lesson by ear! My teacher told me if I didn’t stop trying to play by ear I would never learn to play! I didn’t know what cords were, didn’t get that far. I just learned what the notes were on the piano. I proved her wrong! If I lesson to a song enough and can remember the tune and can set down and play it in the key of C. I’m learning more here from this guy than I did from her! It’s good to know the three cords to start with. I’m 82 yrs old now and still learning! Great site here.
Great video and very well explained. I'm an older beginner and I found this video very helpful. Thank you 👍
Great to hear!
Absolute Chad. No intro just straight into the topic love this format. ❤️
The book I'm learning from only teaches through songs, but I really wanted to get the scales down to be able to write songs more easily.
Thanks so much for making this video! ❤️🙏
upvoted bc chad
I designed something very similar about 7 years ago for my piano improv students. I figure we're all basically spatial learners when using chord progressions on the piano. Thx for your detailed video.
Man I really need to go all the way back to the beginning with my music theory skills
I know I don't know you personally but I was here when you had about 2k subscribers and I'm SO HAPPY to see how you've grown and blown up!!! So deserved! My new keyboard just arrived so I can't wait to get started properly. It has touch sensitive keys so I think that will really help me. It's the Yamaha PSR E373 if you're interested!
Thanks so much for your incredible content! (That ending caught me off guard though haha! 🤣 I was like, "Oh! Guess I'll go practice then!)
Thanks! Very much appreciate the support. I see you have a channel doing well too so good luck with yours and have fun with your new keyboard! 🎹🙂
@@PianoFromScratch thank you so much!! 😭😭I finally managed to nail some chord changes yesterday that I really wasn't able to do before so I'm making progress! Started teaching my 5 year old son too and he pics it up quicker than me! 🤣🤣
@@AyeshaShaSha Ah well done and good luck teaching your boy!
@@PianoFromScratch Thank you!
Idk why I’m watching this when ik how to play moonlight sonata 3rd movement 😂😭
Cos erreyone still learning!
Great video I learned so much from this video huge help
This is brilliant man. Simplified chord structure so well making it really easy to visualise and hopefully keep myself right! Cheers!
I appreciate this so much as a huge visual learner, this simplifies everything!!!
Agree.
You nailed it, it's especially great for us visuals!!! The tactile and math (proportions) folks, too.
💯 Hi buddy! Can you test us in one of your videos: for ex.. naming a specific major/minor chord, and we play it at the moment and so on.. I want to know how quick I react :) thank you
I have a playlist on that already you can check out here's a link ruclips.net/p/PL95TTZURe5UudwtZZBAOq_wcW1dkONvDX 🙂
I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times.
78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways.
81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times.
88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders.
92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come;
and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified.
99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations."
102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." .....2 Esdras 7:75

This video deserves a million likes and subs...now I can locate any major or minor chords including the flats and the sharps
My dad used to play piano. He learned when he was a young boy, and when I was a kid, he used to play in pubs and clubs, so I've always wanted to learn to play myself. Now, far too many years later, I have my own piano and I'm determined to learn. This video is brilliant. Learning any instrumemt is daunting and it's good to have an idea where to start. Thanks for sharing.
This is the best introductory video to chords I've watched. Hands down!
Genius! By FAR the best explanation video I've seen - just getting back into piano after many years away - thank you for this! I look forward to the rest of your videos.
I just stumbled on this video today while working out in the gym! This is a GREAT video! I love learning patterns; it's so much more functional. I'm primarily a guitar player and drummer. But I want to improve my keys skills, and this video is really helpful.
Amazing lesson! Thank you for this content. So helpful.
Good explanation. I used to wonder about the whys of chords, like why is a chord labeled a Gm or a G7 or a Gsus4 or even a Gdim. Knowing the scales you can easily make chord patterns on the keyboard. The magic and mathematics of music is amazing! 😀
I made flash cards in high school of every chord type including altered chords. I'd have one pile of each chord and shuffle those and turn them over and play them instantly. I'd have another pile of cards of ALL of the possible chords (There are hundreds) mixed up and would do the same, turn them over and play them without pause. Then when I saw chord charts I had internalized every possible chord combination through my own flash chord training.
Holy shit...that's awesome !!
I think this could be my way to go on chord learning
If you have them digitally could you send them through a link
@@Sprucingiscoolomg me too please
@@Sprucingiscool you may try find an anki deck with chords. I'm not sure if they exist since I've never looked for these things 😂but people nowadays make Anki decks for every imaginable purpose
That's a very nice thing! That's probably very efficient, and goes along what's been said in this video, this is a way of practicing them. Actually, following the same idea I think I'll be doing a small Python script that does that automatically with text-to-speech which automatically says out loud a chord every 2 seconds or something like that.
I guess this approach can be quite efficient for internalizing many things when learning piano, by actually showing random things and doing them. That comes along smart ways to memorize them like this video does.
Please sell an already printed copy of your online spiral notebook no internet or electronic device needed thanks.
Thank you so much you didn’t start off talking about who you were who you know who they knew and so forth and so on and before you know it half of the videos it’s just rambling on you did a super job you’ve got right to the point and thank you I just subscribe to you and I press the like button thank you❤️😊👍👍🥹
For me, what worked was just looking up songs on Ultimate Guitar. In retrospect I started off with a lot of songs with chords in the key of C (totally not on purpose) and would sometimes discover a song with a flat or sharp that in the moment I would think ehhh it doesn't seem too hard which would over time open me up to songs with even more sharps/flats. I was at an age where I would just play songs on repeat so memorizing wasn't an issue. If this video seems confusing, I would try devoting a ton of energy to one chord song a week and always try to find a song with at least one new chord. This would be an organic way of learning but I think it also depends on your learning style!
Same, I learned them through being exposed to them, although it did take longer to really know all the chords which root is a flat or sharp, up to the point where you don't have to even think about it.
This is what doing now
Very helpful explanation!
The clarity this video bestowed upon me is heavenly.
Thank you for your very informative video! You cleared up and made sense of the minor chords!
Thanks, very clearly presented. It was the D,E and A flat major I could never remember but I think I'll be able to manage that now.
You’re a great teacher dude, will be checking more vids out as I’m at the beginning of my piano playing journey (27 yo) and this video was very helpful, thank you
Really enjoyed the practice tips for this, thank you - some great ideas!
I have really focused on just locking in major chords recently -- practising first by group and then going up in half steps, hands separately then together etc -- and it has made the world of difference. I can feel the muscle memory developing and my speed of finding each chord increasing noticeably.
Thanks again for the great content and guidance!
Glad it’s working! Yea it’s satisfying when you can recognise things easily and your fingers just fall into place
My piano teacher who taught me chords taught me this building all major chords with the pattern of starting at the root note, then moving 4 half steps to the next note, then 3 half steps to the last note of the chord. He taught the minor as root, then 3 half steps, then 4 half steps. This works out to be exactly what you taught. He also showed me the pattern for building 6ths, 7ths, augmented, diminished, etc. As he added more chord types, I would have me practice them in songs. He was a jazz pianist and was awesome. I wish I would have had him as my teacher for longer. I still have my list of how to build the chords 35 years later!
This is one hide Gem on youtube💎💎💎💎
Coming from guitar, this works for me. All ive ever really practiced is shapes, i've added their corresponding names after. Thanks for this, this was very cool!
Now i get it. Learning music theory would be beneficial but i just cannot seem to get myself to do it.
Been learning piano for about a year now. This channel is what I’ve been searching for THE ENTIRE TIME. The PDFs too!
Good pedagogy is severely lacking, not just on RUclips, but in general. Yours, my friend, is exemplary!
Thanks, Chris!
I am just a starter. I wondered how ppl learnt the chords.
I really like the bifurcation into ALL WHITES and WBW. That simplifies by a long haul.
This was amazingly explained. Loved the grouping, so much less intimidating.Thanks a million!
Sir - you are too good an Instructor - superb ! In fact you are '' Excellent " ! You made memorising chords, and how to make Majors and Minors sooo..... very simple ! Well done Sir - Plz keep it up ! Warm Regards.
This is really helpful for beginners
The best chord memorizing lesson man, you're amazing. Thank you for it
I already know all my chords and this is still helpful
This is how I teach chords to the students for about 10 years! Great!
this video confused me
You are an excellent teacher💛⭐ I follow these videos and I remember everything!! I will def get the chords cheat sheet! Thank you so much for providing this for free. Ipayed for a piano course but his teaching is half as excellent as yours⚡
Ah thanks, I’m really glad they help you out 🙂
Been learning piano from Simply Piano, and the first thing I noticed after watching your video is that it's teaching you to play C, F, A instead of F, A, C, for the F chord, and for the G chord it teaches is B, D, G instead of G, B, D as in your video.
From what little music theory I've learned so far I understand that this is still correct, but it's interesting to me that Simply is teaching the chords that way instead of the way you're showing to me in the video which seems more intuitive (I was originally thinking that the "root" note was always the leftmost one when I first learned of the concept) so I'm not sure why they're teaching the cords that way. Maybe they're trying to get you used to the idea of stretching to reach notes, maybe they're trying to keep your hand as close to C as possible, I don't know.
Simply Piano are showing you chords for a beginners song and not showing you " Root " basic song chords.. They are using inversions. This is for a couple of reasons. 1; Less 'complete' movement of your right hand... keeping the hand in the one position, as much as possible.. only changing one or two fingers.. 2; same chord but using a different 'voicing'.. ie. bass note.. or slash chord eg: F/C = 2nd inversion of the F chord..
You are spot on with your F & G chords in root position.. F chord = F, A, C .. G chord = G, B, D.... 1st , 3rd, 5th.
F chord -- root position -- F, A, C. 1st inversion -- A, C, F. 2nd inversion -- C, F, A.
G chord -- root position -- G, B, D. 1st inversion -- B, D, G. 2nd inversion -- D, G, B.
ALL of the other chords follow the same sequence whether major or minor, dim, aug. or other..
Jazz chords may have a 3rd inversion using the 7th note of the scale ( chord ) please don't go there..
If we all just used the root chord for every song on the planet.. music would be so BORING....
Inversions add a little spice of life in music as does so many many other things..
I hope you will try the inversions one note at a time and listen to the difference..
I think you will like.. Cheers..
Thank you so much 🙏💯💯💯👍
in my opinion...... this is the most useful and facilitator "point of view" for grouping the chords.... thank you.
Your video has been a tremendous help to me and I've spent the afternoon practicing your advice. Thanks so very much, I now actually believe I can play something other than bagpipes.
Wow Ken, you play bagpipes! That's an extraordinary instrument. Love love it's sound! Kudos!
Thanks. This is all I needed…quick and useful.
Remembering all major and minor chords has such a significant impact, it helps me to derive more complex chords, better understand chord progression (hence instantly recognize key signature), transcribe songs without using chord apps and etc. Old school but extremely important, it all starts with scales!
Wow coming back after learning every scale i can actually hear you.! This is beyond incredible!!! Thank you!!!!
Easy to understand and straight to the point. Thank you for the video!!
By the way you’re awesome at teaching! I love your videos and will be on your channel daily!!
Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you. I’ve been playing these shapes for years and not understanding what they were.
This is awesome, I was about to give up before I found this lesson!
Glad it helped!
Awesome video. And you could probably take it further? Notice that each group of chords he demonstrates - C F and G (white white white) for example - follows the classic I / IV / V chord progression used in hundreds of popular songs. So after you've mastered what he's showing in the video, you should be able to play La Bamba or Twist and Shout in all 12 keys (starting with the keys of C (WWW), A (WBW) and Ab (BWB)). Then the logical sequel(s) to this video might be to do the whole thing again (a) using first inversions throughout; (b) using second inversions throughout; (c) starting in root position or 1st inversion or 2nd inversion for the I chord, and then fingering the easiest and closest inversions of the IV and V chords. By then you can do it all eyes closed!
That would be so much easier if every major (same applies to minor) chord had the same shape…
…wait, that keyboard actually exists.
Really useful thank you
Timestamp 8:42 is what finally did it for me. After spending a lot of time on other channel's videos and websites without them helping at all (like learning all the "oreo" chords [black white black] or the "hamburgers" [white black white], etc.), once I did the practicing suggested in this video, it instantly clicked. And I mean instant. Suddenly I could play all the major keys without really thinking about it. In my next piano lesson, my teacher said "D major" and I immediately found the chord, whereas before it was such a struggle. Thank you!
omg thats so perfectly explained! Thanks for teaching me something so valuable in just over 10 minutes :)
Thank you so much for this video. Finally after years of only playing by sight reading I now understand what’s going on!!!
Best video on chords I have seen, especially coming to piano from guitar! What a great method!
This is absolutely gold!!!! thank you, I know some people wants to know the whys and hows, but i just want to know where to put my fingers, thank u a million for this content!
Great vid, thanks!

God LOVES YOU so MUCH that He sent His only son to die in YOUR PLACE so you won't have to die under Gods judgment but live forever IF you fully trust in Jesus. So believe in Him and repent From thinking wickedness please🙏🙏🙏
Fun video. Not everyone who learns to play is taught theory properly, and once you can read music then you can get away with knowing very little theory at all. Modern compositional software is so good that you hardly even need to know theory to even write music (once again, if you can read it).
I think one thing worth emphasizing is that beginners shouldn't be scared of the black keys...Sure, it's easier when you're in your first few weeks and just trying to remember ABCDEFGA, but once you're at the point of trying to play songs, transposing everything to (or searching for scores transposed to) C Major or A Minor is counterproductive. You play the white keys differently when you have black ones in the song and it's good to get used to that as soon as possible, and it's actually easier to play more complex stuff when there are more black keys. F Minor is delightful for arpeggios, it has 4 flat notes in the key and the white notes are the 1-5-7 so chances are that you're playing black keys 3/4 of the time. I shudder to think what songs in that key would be like to play if you transposed them to A Minor...
Fantastic. Liked. Subscribed. Notifications on. Thank you
I have been trying to get the hang of chords for a long time and just couldn't quite wrap my head around it for some reason. During this video a light bulb went off in my head and it all makes sense now. Thank you so much sir.
Ok so… I thought these chords were gonna be hard to learn and I’m a self taught wanna be piano player I can play like if you showed me something basically but playing by ear is my goal and I’m kind of getting there I can probably find the piano key to the sound I’m hearing but it’ll be a min but that’s all irrelevant to hear I REALLY JUST LEARNED ALL THE MAJOR AND MINOR CHORDS LIKE THAT?? Like aren’t these all the chords that people play or is there a lot more than just major and minor chords 😅
I studied piano in university and of course, never learned this. However, this is a helpful way of learning about the pattern and feel of chords! Nice! Thanks!
know your intervals. its easy. learn to read and understand music.
Thank you so so much. Finally not a video teaching me some songs or some '4 important chords'. I wanna learn this properly so thank you for this!!! Sub😊
Thank you so much❤❤❤
Very very good teaching, love it ,thank you very much,I want you for my personal tutor, how's it possible thank you
what about inversions? there is 48 more chord shapes that you have to memorise
Thank you very much for showing us, organizing, and visualizing this pattern Piano From Scratch!!!!!
7:24 / 11:40 I've learned that the two white keys in the middle are actually half notes and you have to jump over one of them to get a full note in either direction. Even though they sound continuous if you just play the white notes. (Maybe I'm tone deaf to white continuous)? I don't know..
I’m a good fan of you!Your approach is simply the best👍
Does the above not include All major Blacks like F# c# and Cb majors!
Does it not need any mention!
Please clear my doubts🙏
This is a good starting point and rationale, but how about the chords with 4 keys, are there some similar logical and basic patterns involved?
Self notes:
1- shapes
2- finger exercise
3- minor ( move a key ahead)
4- peactise methid
5 - *circle
Great lesson... carrying on you can flatten both the 3rd and 5th to make diminished.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
C D E F G A B C
C Eb Gb = C diminished
To diminish or take away .
I see a pattern of chords 135, 34, 43
34 meaning 3 half steps at first then 4 half steps
or 43 4 half steps then 3half steps.
135
351
513
Flipping the order to invert or inversions of the same chord.
Someone pointed out you dont play 135 and 135 both hands it sounds redundant and 1st semester.
But if you change them up 135 left hand and 34 or 43. right hand suddenly it starts to sound better .
The person illustrated it stating Paul McCartney did this and you instantly hear it in Beatles songs.
Same chord but inverted. same notes but different order..
The inversions slow me to a snails pace but I think its a matter of working them out and cherry picking the ones that grab you so you know by trying each type which sounds best to your ear.. So its your favorite choices of what combinations to play either hand.
The person illustrated it by trying to play the same chords both hands then changing it up and instantly you hear it become more musical or the best combinations leap out too you so you notate ok those pair up and those do also
and if you know them that good then you can screw chords up on purpose to make people laugh.
Cause by then your gonna know the FUGLY ONES and its fun to use them knowing full well for the expressions you will get.
Like Yosemite Sam showing Bugs Bunny how to play the tune right....
we should all be able to play that wrong also or know what the wrong note was or be damned to hell for eternity...
Hello guys I’m actually new to this key , scale thing so if it is E minor scale for singing it is Em F# Gmajor Am Bm Cmajor and Dminor right ?🙏🏻 The key of my song is Eminor and I was singing it in Eminor, Aminor, B minor , GMajor, and CMajor is that right ?
Nice job. I learned piano way before RUclips so I never had anyone show this method. In saying that, I was always visual and muscle memory (the fingers naturally felt the distance; like your major 5th example). It was interesting to watch you walk through what I had been doing for years, all the while wondering is this how other people do it. ;)
Watched this again, and this video really helped me to turbocharge my understanding.
How I memorise?
Find the perfect fifth, like from C to G,
Put your middle finger in the middle, if it feels like it can’t go further up naturally, then its major and vice versa.
The more you play with them, the more you memorise.
Also scales.
You look like Ed Sherran and your videos are really usefull
Haha thanks
Yeah I also thought he looks like one of the one direction band guys...😍😍 Am a beginner in learning piano this is really very helpful...👍👍
very nice and good
Its really amazing tutorial. Im just learning how to play piano and i think your tutorial is more precise and easy. Although its too fast. Could i get the free pdf 12 chords? I couldn't open it.
Love this. What about the left hand?
Pardon my ignorance, I am a beginner. Sorry if this was already asked… to many comments to read through.
Do you sell all your PDFs as a single book? I would definitely buy the book :)
Maybe at some point when there's a few more topics covered I'll be able to do something like that but not at the moment I'm afraid
Well this sucks..maybe I have abused too many drugs because my brain is overloading and smoking..I cannot seem to retain information nearly as good as I used too..very frustrating.😮
Tryna learn the basics on piano, cuz tryna learn those easy songs immediately is a pain. Getting use out of a old keyboard I never got to use before. Tryna practice everyday is tricky cuz of other stuff like school and hobbies like drawing hehe.
Videos a bit to fast to follow with a keyboard, if I were to slow down the speed I wouldnt be able to learn to recognize these chords things. Will likely needmto repeat this vid again cuz its close to done and now im confused again. Though this is a good video, the struggle is real.
The grouping was very helpful. TYSM
I am 26 years old and I am starting to play piano. There is none of our family that plays piano. Can you give me advises or techniques? I will appreciate it ❤🥰
