You got to love him, he doesn't mess around he teaches. He is great at explaining and his cheat sheet are so helpful. Thank you Zach . God will always help because you are always helping others.
I’ve been playing self taught for (no lie) 35 years. Your videos have improved my ability ten-fold in about 2 weeks. Thank you for your method. Cherished.
Hello there. So, have you mastered the drumming rudiments and are you able to perform a proper 2 stroke drum roll? Do hope you don't mind me asking, but had practise pad and sticks, DVDs, tutorial books, a couple of lessons and practiced for eons. Had a kit and COULD learn grooves and beats. Even John Bonham/Bernard Perdie shuffle! However, ultimately gave up due to failure to satifactorily master the rudiments. Regards - Mike
As a Retired Drone Pilot, been following Dr.K for inspiration and laughter for years, just received my Casio CTK-2550 today, know Nothing about music, keyboard, yet your video’s have not let me sleep! To Excited, THANK YOU! At 65, your never to old to learn a NEW TRADE! Thank You!
I am a 69 year old disabled Vet with Parkinsons. I am just learning and find your instructions easy to follow and understandable. You are helping me get the joy of music back in me.
Dude! Fantastic video and series! I'm a home general contractor of 25 years with sausage fingers and never played a musical instrument in my life until now. I received an old, beat up piano as partial payment for some work and decided to finally give it a try. Your videos, printable aids and a little dedication have led me to actually making music!! I'm a super slow study, but you took the mystery, wonder and dream of piano playing and made it understandable, achievable and FAST!! WAY TO GO!!!!!
I've watched this video multiple times for 3 days now. I picked up C Major the first day, I was getting aggravated yesterday because I couldn't grasp the rest of it. I just decided to try again, I've been sitting here for 10mins and I picked it up immediately! I will recommend this video to anyone wanting to quickly do it. Thank you for this!🥇🏆
I kid you not I paused it at around 4:52 and played it flawlessly for about 10 mins only about some weeks into keys and man this is very good stupid simple teaching by a genius ! Thanks man
I have been learning to play the piano for the past year through an online provider. But I could not see myself ever able to improvise anything regardless of their promises. With this one lesson I finally get it! Thank you so much for sharing.
Everytime that I learn something with the easy medthod that you use to teach tears comes to my eyes because I know that My God has brought you into my life. I thank you everyday!!
This guy is great. I tried to learn chords many years ago but thanks to him, now I get it I'll be 71 in November but caught on in less than 30 minutes!
I've been learning piano for the last 11 months, and have learned to play with both hands, too. I discovered your Four Money Chords yesterday, and found them straightforward, but such a welcome change to the normal tunes that I've been playing. Tell you what, Zach, the difference is you.... you and your enthusiasm for what you do!! Now I'm looking at the Simple-but-mesmerizing-piano pattern, and it's such a blast to pick up on an entirely new challenge. At age 73, I wish I had longer fingers, but it's great exercise to get my clumsy hands working! Good on you!
you are the best piano teacher for beginners that I EVER HEARD ABOUT. It is like piano for completely dummies (just like me) and it rly works. I tried everything else and i didnt have ANY coordination. Now I finally could pass the stuck phase that i was with the piano. I couldnt learn it at all, but your lessons guide me through it and kept me motivated, it was super helpful, I did them in 2018, im back now to try more of your amazing tutorials and methods, because im feeling stuck again. I have hands coordination now, I know scales and chords, im looking for improvisation and also ill try to get better at rhythms and patterns with the chords, i do like this video tho, it seems "easy", but you did put it in such nice way increasing the difficult that makes me wanna try the entire lesson. * Ill put the time that i took to learn once I try the lesson to finish i just want to say thank you for your videos and all the effort you put on it believing anyone can play the piano. I do love your methods
I've always wanted to learn piano. I found your Learn 4 chords play 100s of songs video 2 days ago. Watched the whole thing and went out and bought a 61 key midi keyboard yesterday. I've learned so much from you in just 48 hours that I had to comment. The way you teach is fantastic and works incredibly well for me! I'd recommend your lessons to anyone in any age group that wants to learn. Thank you!
Been playing 3 months (self taught) took 10 mins for me. Sounds like bragging but not lol. I learnt (and still remember) how to play a few songs as a kid but that's it. I think having the blessing of being able to playby ear helps a lot. Actually there an app that can train you too play by ear. Well worth it 👍🏼 This channel is unbelievably good, I mean I feel I should be paying to watch these vids 👌🏼
Wow! Exellent lessons... I was having issues with right & left hand coordination... last night I watched this lesson layin down before I went to sleep and was blown away as I followed your finger exercises and my left and right hand were doin their parts... Appreciate All your time & knowledge you put in to these videos and printouts. I've learned from other videos, however, I've advanced way more with hand coordination and positions in just 3 videos of yours. Your benevolence will be rewarded.
I have been trying to learn the piano for the past 30 years and couldn't really 'get it'. I was just reading notes and playing(very difficulty too since i was trying to learn by myself most of the time). Now i'm excited to learn and play. You are building up my confidence. I like how you take step by step methods in teaching us. Thank you!!! I could stay up all day and night just learning and practicing with your videos!
Exceptionally taught and easy to learn, with Mr. Zachs, teaching I learned to play it just by watching his fingers and didn't even need to pause to figure out cords. -Charles L.M
You are a great teacher I learned it in about 5 minutes it's my 2nd day I'm 35. haven't played an instalment in probably 25 years thought it wasn't cool ha God bless!
This is awesome!! I learned in about 45 minutes then took a break for an hour an for some reason played better the second time but, I'm a boomer and I only started this last weekend so Im pretty slow 🐌 This is a awesome lesson and very useful. The fact that it uses simple progressions instead of trying to play each measure note for note ( which is hard and quite frankly, frustrating for me ) makes me feel a greater sense of accomplishment and sounds great. Thank you so much for the lesson and the cheat sheet 🙂👍
First part I learned right away but then I have experience as I am a voice teacher and performance coach and I studied music in college. Zach, I have been following you for the past 2 years now, you are so awesome and an exceptional✨teacher! I am even one of your piano university students, but I must confess that due to some ‘life’ stuff over the past 2 years I haven’t been able to put my focus towards my music and becoming a better pianist, etc. However I am happy to say ...to use the Johnny Cash song “I can see clearly now the rain is gone...” and so I came here to RUclips this morning to look up your ‘secret sauce pattern’ that I had ‘accidentally’ come across a month ago while watching your amazing tEDTalk (people! Go check it out RIGHT now it’s SO inspiring!) but found myself instead here on THIS lesson. I just wanted to say...YOU ROCK⚡️ and thank you for being a TRUE-to-the-heart💘 exceptional teacher and Super Human! And btw... your periodical text messages with videos to inspire us to practice are working.. and you always bring me a smile and a chuckle! Ty!🤗
I started playing by ear with just the major cords of this progression for the song “Stand by me” by b.b. king, when I was 10. I’ve since used variations in right hand playing style for those chords and applied it to many synthesizer jams but never ventured past that with the minor cords. Really appreciate this video. I was looking for something slightly outside my comfort zone with that progression that would give me more options and this was right up my alley. Thanks again!
Ive been trying to figure how to play my songs with taking awkward leaps between each chord in a song and the inversions cheat sheet was exactly what i was needing. Zach i honestly love you bro.
Thanks Zach.... I pop in and out. You are my piano guru. I really like how you present your videos and explain what you are doing. Been diddling with the piano for years....my mom played by ear....I don't seem to have that talent, but have a real desire to just sit down at the keyboard and play out my emotions....sosmetimes happy, sad, introspective.
I am using my sons account giving you my comment Mr.Evans..You´re such a blessings to me..You really explain everything very well ..Thank you so much for sharing your talent to us..
Thank you this was very helpfull I am a sixty nine year old guitar player who has.nuropathy and can’t play guitar any more but I have been able to play piano again thank you this has been a great help to me yours John harper uk Manchester
It took me about a half an hour, my keys still sound a little choppy. However I have the biggest smile on my face right now because it sounds pretty decent.
Just wow! I will watch your every single video and practice every single day to learn how to play piano!! First time in my life, i am sure tht o can play!!! Thnx my friend, you are good teacher..
Love this been playing keyboard for a month, learnt this in few minutes, enjoyable way to learning am coming on leaps and bounds since watching ,love all videos fun and quickly learning
Hey Zach!! Thank you so much!!! I've been practicing the traditional way for months. As soon as I tried your 4 chords (and beyond), life has never been the same! LOL. So, thanks for putting this up for us! Much love from Bangkok! 🇹🇭
You sir are a gentlemen and a master Wizard. I learn it in 15 min but its not perfect coz i have weak hands. It's my second day touching the piano. You motivate me to learn coz i progress so much in such a short time. TY best teacher.
These lessons are great! I sometimes lose track of the rhythm if I don't listen which is perfect cos I need to learn how to listen as well as play👂 it's helping my depression alot. I appreciate you teaching these lessons and for free 😊
Thanks to you ! Comment on an old video as a beginner who started one week ago keyboard (got some musical background behind me, i play guitar, didgeridoo and handpan but without any knowledge in music theory and getting stuck in the learning process) and decided to learn som music theory before really getting into it. I should admit that it is very easy to understand and starting to play by self when all the pieces clicks together. Even without much practice, the lesson is understood in a matter of minutes. And i can also apply it to guitar, which a huge benefit. I'll be able in a near future to speak properly the music language. Don't skip theory and just experiment with this and you will have fun very quickly. With any instrument. And take the time to find an instrument that fits you. You'll learn so much asside the techniques. Thanks again for the videos :)
I love how broken up the Learning experience is. It always seems hard at first bc it’s so new. But it easily starts a a pattern in your mind. Just keep engaging like he said and it will be edged in your memory. Kim
As a musician forever/ music theory/ read notes..trying to relearn some stuff. U r crazy..I mean this in a great way. The way that u talk.. my mind works!!! Thanks!!
This is an awesome video to learn piano. I have no prior music experience and it took me a couple of hours to learn the first basics steps. Then another couple of hours to learn the chords. I dont have a good voice, thats the only challenge for me to get a melody for a song. I am working on that. Thank you Zach, this is awesome
I just learned this pattern in about 30 seconds.. so check it, I've played guitarr (completely self-taught) for 16 years and now all of the sudden i can come up with so much more creative melodies on a piano, than I've ever been able to do on guitar.. (and I just started trying to teach myself to play piano probably less than a year ago) absolutely speechless.... this was a great lesson 👏 super informative yet fast and easy to learn
Awesome! I signed up for the piano superhuman course. It's free and really great. I felt a significant improvement in my piano skills. I recommend it to everyone. If you can, go for the mastery courses too.
Thanks a lot sir u r a guru to my piano ty for making it so simple n clear, as i m one who always loongd to play a perfect chord but cud never do it on my own, buh bcuz ur clear explaination, i cant belive but i cud play it well in 10mins
I have to say after watching this video I view the keyboards in a totally different way now this is the most intuitive teaching video I've seen So thank you very much and it took me about 15 minutes to learn
@@werdnacole Okay, the replies I'm getting on this comment is making me see how I'm not very good at showing when I'm being sarcastic or not... Sorry about that 😅 When he said that it just made me laugh so much, he reminds me of a high school music teacher that tries to make learning the piano the best thing the kids will ever learn in school *(he's NOT wrong though!)* I love this guy's enthusiasm 😂❤ A very good teacher and really funny.
I have watch handfuls of song tutorials on youtube for piano beginners and ill tell you what, I've never learned as much with all those combined as i have with this video. Thank you. I have subbed.
Great Beginners video. I have taken this idea and am using 3 notes in the right hand, and octaves in the left hand. Trying out various note combinations of the chords (inversons). Really intersting as to how one can control the tension and release.. For the C & G I go down in the right hand, then for A & F go up. Love you energy and enthusiasm.
I am a bloody beginner and played the guitar once (but at some point I gave it up... and yes, I was thinking about changing the instrument earlier) I just tried out the first chords and it gave me hope cause I love music but I just failed in doing what I want and now I think I could try another instrument and learn piano and keyboard. After that very first video I managed to do some other chords from another video (I mean "the sad, catchy, road" one). Now I looked to this song and yes I paused for now cause I have to bring it together first (and I feel like my hands are not into it right now)... but I'll try it tomorrow. I am motivated and I think in around a few days to a week I could manage it. I am not good in reading notes and so I have to thank you that you enable people like me to make good sounds too.
This video was extremly helpful especially the hymn reading one, now i can really get the money , thank God for you can you do a track pad on how to put lyrics to hymns i really need a song class to.Thank you
Thank you very much! It's really important to show someone how to fish instead of giving him one you caught. Really good job, love your work keep it up!
Just got a keyboard for my daughter and needed a refresher course. This was perfect! I Watched some of the top videos on RUclips but they are for people that read sheet music. I don’t so this was by far the best. Thank you!
I do not have a piano to practice yet, but I love your teaching methods.... I think I can play it easy just watching how you teach the pattern. Getting a piano soon!
Wow thanks so much sir! It's soo easy and fun! I am a 10 year old girl. I really wanna be amazing at the piano so keep making good lessons. It's so easy and it sounds like if we are a pro on the piano but we are not that much. Imagine you went to a party learning this song! Everyone would cheer. ❤Thanks
THIS WAS AWESOME. I haven't taken piano lessons since I was a kid. I didn't enjoy it very much. Not because of my teacher, who I loved and appreciated, but because I was forced to learn it. I've gotten the learning bug for piano now and figured, "If I can just learn the various chords, that will get me further than I could ever imagine". I went through a couple of videos by different people, and then landed on this one. After this one instruction video, I just played through all of LET IT GO. Slowly and a bit choppy, but I did it. HA! I'M SO EXCITED. Thanks so much, especially for the cheat sheet! I just loved this!
I can’t believe how much you are giving away .... this info and your breakdown of it in manageable and sensible portions, is outstanding and is very valuable. I’ve gotten further in one afternoon than I thought I ever could ... THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!
I surprisingly picked this one up quite quickly love the way you take us through the steps and have the other keyboard on to to show us. Overall it probably took me about half an hour 💞
thank you for all you do this is really helping me to get into playing just bought a keyboard last week so this is all new and you make it so clear and properly progressive. by the way I am 70 yrs old and trying a new life style.
Hi Zach! I got it as you played it, and will now practice it over and over. Really love this whole video, you have made a lot of things clear, which I have struggled with for a long time before I found your videos. Thank you so much. I am really enjoying your lessons. 😎
It took me less than 45 minutes to learn the first lesson. However, I haven't perfected it yet. Also, my challenge is playing soft. I will get it soon. Margaret
You’re the best! Thank you for being so passionate about teaching us! Seriously the best piano teacher everrrrrr!! And you rocked that Frozen song!! Like a G!
I've been with you for 2 year's now and I continue to learn from you. Had this down in 10 minutes and I plan on implementing it into my lego block patterns. Thank you so much!
Great video!! Super informative and easy to follow, I’ve been wanting to play piano again, I had lessons when I was a kid but I hated it. My teacher was so mean and it was all play by ear and no sheet music. She would hover over me and poke me with a sharp pencil if I messed up, i knew like twenty songs, but as soon as my mom said I didn’t have to take lessons from her anymore, I literally forgot how to play, like a mental block... I moved to Fort Collins Colorado a year ago and they have pianos placed all over the city in the summer, I’d love to sit down and make some music. I’ll check out your website too, thanks my dude!! You make it easy to understand!
You're great, Zach! :) Thank you for your love and dedication to teach piano lessons to people like me. I'm a fan now. :) You make things easier and fun. God bless you! 😘
Thank you I’m still in school I’m 11 and I’m learning this thank you for this video now I can finally show my friends and maybe show a concert to the whole school! Thank you!!!!
I'm searching and keep searching some piano tutorial in yt and google but I didn't even found something that will help me to play piano, or maybe i just dont get how the way they teach, but this is so easy to understand, and it will help a lot. Thanks
Hey Zack, great job. I just wanted to point out that in the guitar tab (at 12:09), you'll notice that the capo is on the 1st fret. Therefore while playing in the Key of G on the guitar with the chords that appear in the tab you are actually playing in the Key of Ab (Fm) (since the capo shifts everything up half a tone), which is the key the original song is recorded in. Just wanted to make that clear in case beginner piano players wonder why playing the Em on the piano doesn't sound the same as the actual song (where it's actually an Fm).
I helped friends to move piano and left alone whit it sitting so decided to open RUclips. This is first video and it took about 10 minutes to learn that part where you say to comment. I’m no musician and it’s sketchy, but it’s really easy doable ;)
WOw! Amazing once again! I agree with the comment below me....sky is the limit now!! We can improvise, créate, play any song, etc It's perfect thank you!
Took me a half hour or so to get my fingers coordinated together to get through it once without a mistake. Then after one round of it all, my right hand fingers just freeze like they suddenly forgot what to do. LOL. I'll let it rest until tomorrow's session and see if my fingers don't smarten up a bit overnight. I'll have to work on this lesson for a few days to get it down. My brain goes, "Hey, I get it! That seems soooo easy!" Then my fingers go, "Nope. Not gonna let you off that easy. We all like to do our own thing!"
I’m 7 years old and I am practicing piano. I love your song and videos because there easy and beautiful! The thing is that I don’t know the chords. Can you make a video of chords? I would like you to do that.

your corect
Your lessons are the bomb! At 66 years old I finally feel like the sky is the limit!
Hats off. I am half of ur age. But i thought i never could learn piano at my age
I find it odd that a 66 year old would say anything is 'The Bomb'
This is so wholesome
I love this
Such a lovely comment. Heartwarming

Thanks, man! I'm a 72 year old rock drummer and want to learn some piano basics. Great job teaching! Keep the lessons coming!
Same thing here but 32 :)
After piano I would love to play drums. Wowwww
Hello there.
So, have you mastered the drumming rudiments and are you able to perform a proper 2 stroke drum roll?
Do hope you don't mind me asking, but had practise pad and sticks, DVDs, tutorial books, a couple of lessons and practiced for eons. Had a kit and COULD learn grooves and beats.
Even John Bonham/Bernard Perdie shuffle!
However, ultimately gave up due to failure to satifactorily master the rudiments.

Love this been playing keyboard for a month, learnt this in few minutes, enjoyable way to learning am coming on leaps and bounds since watching ,love all videos fun and quickly learning
Awesome. Glad you found the video helpful! 🎹
Yo Zach, I'd never thought that I would never play a piano in my life. But my dream came true. WOW! Thanks for teaching me how to play the piano.
Hey Zach!! Thank you so much!!! I've been practicing the traditional way for months. As soon as I tried your 4 chords (and beyond), life has never been the same! LOL. So, thanks for putting this up for us! Much love from Bangkok! 🇹🇭
You sir are a gentlemen and a master Wizard. I learn it in 15 min but its not perfect coz i have weak hands. It's my second day touching the piano. You motivate me to learn coz i progress so much in such a short time. TY best teacher.
These lessons are great! I sometimes lose track of the rhythm if I don't listen which is perfect cos I need to learn how to listen as well as play👂 it's helping my depression alot. I appreciate you teaching these lessons and for free 😊
Keep up the great work Maya! Glad you're finding these lessons helpful! 🎹
Thanks to you ! Comment on an old video as a beginner who started one week ago keyboard (got some musical background behind me, i play guitar, didgeridoo and handpan but without any knowledge in music theory and getting stuck in the learning process) and decided to learn som music theory before really getting into it. I should admit that it is very easy to understand and starting to play by self when all the pieces clicks together. Even without much practice, the lesson is understood in a matter of minutes. And i can also apply it to guitar, which a huge benefit.
I'll be able in a near future to speak properly the music language.
Don't skip theory and just experiment with this and you will have fun very quickly. With any instrument. And take the time to find an instrument that fits you. You'll learn so much asside the techniques.
Thanks again for the videos :)
God Bless You, Zach. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!!
Great lesson. I love how you teach. 50 year old and impressed myself tonight.
I love how broken up the Learning experience is. It always seems hard at first bc it’s so new. But it easily starts a a pattern in your mind. Just keep engaging like he said and it will be edged in your memory. Kim
As a musician forever/ music theory/ read notes..trying to relearn some stuff. U r crazy..I mean this in a great way. The way that u talk.. my mind works!!! Thanks!!
This is an awesome video to learn piano. I have no prior music experience and it took me a couple of hours to learn the first basics steps. Then another couple of hours to learn the chords. I dont have a good voice, thats the only challenge for me to get a melody for a song. I am working on that. Thank you Zach, this is awesome
I just learned this pattern in about 30 seconds.. so check it, I've played guitarr (completely self-taught) for 16 years and now all of the sudden i can come up with so much more creative melodies on a piano, than I've ever been able to do on guitar.. (and I just started trying to teach myself to play piano probably less than a year ago) absolutely speechless.... this was a great lesson 👏 super informative yet fast and easy to learn
Awesome!
I signed up for the piano superhuman course. It's free and really great. I felt a significant improvement in my piano skills. I recommend it to everyone. If you can, go for the mastery courses too.
Thanks a lot sir u r a guru to my piano ty for making it so simple n clear, as i m one who always loongd to play a perfect chord but cud never do it on my own, buh bcuz ur clear explaination, i cant belive but i cud play it well in 10mins
You're a great teacher! Very easy to learn. Now, have to do my part and practice my finger muscle memory! Thank you
I have to say after watching this video I view the keyboards in a totally different way now this is the most intuitive teaching video I've seen So thank you very much and it took me about 15 minutes to learn
"And they're SO popular and famous that they're on THE *RADIO!"*
Haha I love this guy's enthusiasm!!🤣👍🏻
A common chord progression used on dozens of popular songs, which yes are on the radio. You just need to listen more carefully.

Okay, the replies I'm getting on this comment is making me see how I'm not very good at showing when I'm being sarcastic or not...
Sorry about that 😅
When he said that it just made me laugh so much, he reminds me of a high school music teacher that tries to make learning the piano the best thing the kids will ever learn in school
*(he's NOT wrong though!)*
I love this guy's enthusiasm 😂❤
A very good teacher and really funny.
I love how simple and easy the patterns are it only took me 5 minuets to be able to play the first one😄
I have watch handfuls of song tutorials on youtube for piano beginners and ill tell you what, I've never learned as much with all those combined as i have with this video. Thank you. I have subbed.
Wholeheartedly agree, this lesson has changed things for me
Great Beginners video. I have taken this idea and am using 3 notes in the right hand, and octaves in the left hand. Trying out various note combinations of the chords (inversons). Really intersting as to how one can control the tension and release.. For the C & G I go down in the right hand, then for A & F go up. Love you energy and enthusiasm.
Wow, the best most well explained piano lesson on you tube. Thank you for this it's awesome.
Thanks Michael. Glad you enjoyed the video! 🎹
I am a bloody beginner and played the guitar once (but at some point I gave it up... and yes, I was thinking about changing the instrument earlier)
I just tried out the first chords and it gave me hope cause I love music but I just failed in doing what I want and now I think I could try another instrument and learn piano and keyboard.
After that very first video I managed to do some other chords from another video (I mean "the sad, catchy, road" one).
Now I looked to this song and yes I paused for now cause I have to bring it together first (and I feel like my hands are not into it right now)... but I'll try it tomorrow. I am motivated and I think in around a few days to a week I could manage it.
I am not good in reading notes and so I have to thank you that you enable people like me to make good sounds too.
This video was extremly helpful especially the hymn reading one, now i can really get the money , thank God for you can you do a track pad on how to put lyrics to hymns i really need a song class to.Thank you
Dude you brought me back to the piano after a long break. As I learned it the classical way I missed so much great stuff. Thank you
I picked it up pretty fast! you are an amazing teacher!!!
this is actually a fantastic teaching method! Loving it!
I'm glad you like it Matt! Thank you so much
Thank you very much! It's really important to show someone how to fish instead of giving him one you caught. Really good job, love your work keep it up!
Just got a keyboard for my daughter and needed a refresher course. This was perfect! I Watched some of the top videos on RUclips but they are for people that read sheet music. I don’t so this was by far the best. Thank you!
I do not have a piano to practice yet, but I love your teaching methods.... I think I can play it easy just watching how you teach the pattern. Getting a piano soon!
I hope you have a piano or a keyboard now to practise! ^_^
Best music teacher on RUclips hands down.
thanks zack, i am going to be working on these lessons. with a bit of arthritis i will do my best.
Wow thanks so much sir! It's soo easy and fun! I am a 10 year old girl. I really wanna be amazing at the piano so keep making good lessons. It's so easy and it sounds like if we are a pro on the piano but we are not that much. Imagine you went to a party learning this song! Everyone would cheer. ❤Thanks
Great video! It took me about 5 min too learn the first exercise. I will now try the advanced versions. Sean (8 yrs old)
THIS WAS AWESOME. I haven't taken piano lessons since I was a kid. I didn't enjoy it very much. Not because of my teacher, who I loved and appreciated, but because I was forced to learn it. I've gotten the learning bug for piano now and figured, "If I can just learn the various chords, that will get me further than I could ever imagine". I went through a couple of videos by different people, and then landed on this one. After this one instruction video, I just played through all of LET IT GO. Slowly and a bit choppy, but I did it. HA! I'M SO EXCITED. Thanks so much, especially for the cheat sheet! I just loved this!
I can’t believe how much you are giving away .... this info and your breakdown of it in manageable and sensible portions, is outstanding and is very valuable.
I’ve gotten further in one afternoon than I thought I ever could ... THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!
It makes all perfect sense to me. Only got started a few days ago but I am already dreaming about playing the piano. Such fun 😁
I surprisingly picked this one up quite quickly love the way you take us through the steps and have the other keyboard on to to show us. Overall it probably took me about half an hour 💞
thank you for all you do this is really helping me to get into playing
just bought a keyboard last week so this is all new and you make it so clear and properly progressive.
by the way I am 70 yrs old and trying a new life style.
Hi Zach! I got it as you played it, and will now practice it over and over. Really love this whole video, you have made a lot of things clear, which I have struggled with for a long time before I found your videos. Thank you so much. I am really enjoying your lessons. 😎
Just bought a piano and your lessons are of great help to me..be blessed guy
It took me less than 45 minutes to learn the first lesson. However, I haven't perfected it yet. Also, my challenge is playing soft. I will get it soon. Margaret
You’re the best! Thank you for being so passionate about teaching us! Seriously the best piano teacher everrrrrr!! And you rocked that Frozen song!! Like a G!
With your videos you make me feel that i am awake again from the dead thank you keep posting more videos like these god bless you and your family
Thanks. Glad you liked the video! 🎹
just under 10 seconds,, Zach,, the master Evens top man.
I've been with you for 2 year's now and I continue to learn from you. Had this down in 10 minutes and I plan on implementing it into my lego block patterns. Thank you so much!
Because you were brave enough to sing, I have signed up. Good on you!
I'm from Brazil, and a beginner on piano. Your videos are the best! Thanks for that.
Thank you, subscribed and joined, teaching my grandkid to play. This is awesome!
Great video!! Super informative and easy to follow, I’ve been wanting to play piano again, I had lessons when I was a kid but I hated it. My teacher was so mean and it was all play by ear and no sheet music. She would hover over me and poke me with a sharp pencil if I messed up, i knew like twenty songs, but as soon as my mom said I didn’t have to take lessons from her anymore, I literally forgot how to play, like a mental block... I moved to Fort Collins Colorado a year ago and they have pianos placed all over the city in the summer, I’d love to sit down and make some music. I’ll check out your website too, thanks my dude!! You make it easy to understand!
This is valuable information!! Thank you!! I’ve been looking for something like this to learn the chords, yet fun!!
Thank you SO much! I guess being old doesn't stop you from playing piano!
You're great, Zach! :) Thank you for your love and dedication to teach piano lessons to people like me. I'm a fan now. :) You make things easier and fun. God bless you! 😘
Thank you I’m still in school I’m 11 and I’m learning this thank you for this video now I can finally show my friends and maybe show a concert to the whole school!
Thank you!!!!
I'm searching and keep searching some piano tutorial in yt and google but I didn't even found something that will help me to play piano, or maybe i just dont get how the way they teach, but this is so easy to understand, and it will help a lot.
Thanks
Hey Zack, great job. I just wanted to point out that in the guitar tab (at 12:09), you'll notice that the capo is on the 1st fret. Therefore while playing in the Key of G on the guitar with the chords that appear in the tab you are actually playing in the Key of Ab (Fm) (since the capo shifts everything up half a tone), which is the key the original song is recorded in. Just wanted to make that clear in case beginner piano players wonder why playing the Em on the piano doesn't sound the same as the actual song (where it's actually an Fm).
Sounds like U2: With or without you. Love the courses. I’m a beginner and your tutorials are brilliant for me. Thank you so much ✌️
I helped friends to move piano and left alone whit it sitting so decided to open RUclips. This is first video and it took about 10 minutes to learn that part where you say to comment. I’m no musician and it’s sketchy, but it’s really easy doable ;)
Absolute beginner here. I find it hard to play with pinkie and middle fingers and keep the ring finger “out of the way” 😅
Sameeee
Same but it's a good thing you're doing it because this is a great finger strength exercise
Yep that's me
same here
WOw! Amazing once again! I agree with the comment below me....sky is the limit now!! We can improvise, créate, play any song, etc It's perfect thank you!
I love this, took me only a few trys.
Your videos make me relax after playing my sheet music!
Took me a half hour or so to get my fingers coordinated together to get through it once without a mistake. Then after one round of it all, my right hand fingers just freeze like they suddenly forgot what to do. LOL. I'll let it rest until tomorrow's session and see if my fingers don't smarten up a bit overnight. I'll have to work on this lesson for a few days to get it down. My brain goes, "Hey, I get it! That seems soooo easy!" Then my fingers go, "Nope. Not gonna let you off that easy. We all like to do our own thing!"
I’m 7 years old and I am practicing piano. I love your song and videos because there easy and beautiful! The thing is that I don’t know the chords. Can you make a video of chords? I would like you to do that.
This has become my fave channel on RUclips.
Same this is my fave out of all the Chanel’s I’ve subbed too
Amazing tutorial and step by steps for anyone who wants to learn how to coordinate without trying books that make you make sounds that you dont know
