This is insane, THANK U. It really opened my eyes for how important and how much you can do with your left hand to make everything just sound different.
That was another awesome video lesson. One of the best music teachers ever. This teacher's mind or brain works like a computer ----- such as making the associations so quickly with assigning different key positions based on the regular chords. But also amazing in knowing all the various chords and their names so quickly. It's sort of like computer chess at high speed ---- making moves quick, looking ahead very quickly ----- applying strategies in real time very quickly, and art --- IQ, everything - all at once. Definitely a talent too.
Loving your lessons. This one is very short and I wish it was longer because I feel there's a few more areas you could cover or maybe cover those areas in a bit more depth. Maybe play around with a few more chords and key variations? Would be great.
Thank you Man....just this....thank you from Italy!!! I saw so many different piano and harmony lessons video on youtube but whit you it seems really "easier" for me to learn!!;)
@Dave S.: Sorry but RUclips won't let me reply to your question directly, so here is my indirect answer: yes, you could think of the right hand notes as pedal notes. I have a video about this kind of trick: ruclips.net/video/0gZG6nO9m8U/видео.html
Oatmate Interesting observation. I have to admit that "implied harmony" is not a formal theoretical concept and in fact one which I made up so I can sort of bend its meaning to suit my needs :). With the Eb bass I'm playing Eb, C, G, which make up the Cm chord. However, the Eb bass strongly "implies" an Eb or Eb6 chord (missing the 5th) in my opinion. The best way to answer the question is to try and substitute both chords (Eb, Cm) and see which one sounds more similar to the original voicing, and deciding based on that. Hope that made some sense.
Oatmate It is true that what matters ultimately is not the theory but how things sound. On the other hand, theory and chord names do play an important role because they let us identify patterns that repeat themselves in different songs and make us realize the universality of music.
A combination of both. Music "rules", or "theory" as it's sometimes called, will tell you what options might sound good (consonant), but will not tell you how to choose between them. That's where creativity comes in.
Ooh i kinda get it Your right hand will be playing the main chord key of the song while the left is the one playing the chord progression of the song If the key is in D, your right hand will try to play the D chord while thee left hand shall play the chord progressions of D such as D-A-Bm-G? Uhmm am i right?
Mangold, I’ve not been able to find a tutorial on this approach: add chord/melody to a more continuous, rhythmic baseline, such as typical of blues or boogie woogie. I don’t know if any composer wrote in this way that a walking or jogging baseline appears first, then right hand. I have no problem doing RH after many LH but this one particular I can’t seem to find the appropriate RH
@@MangoldProject Hi Mangold, I'm sorry but this idea came straight from me, not thanks to any video i saw. I was noodling a steady left hand groove and was wondering how i can add some punctuating right hand chords or riffs. If the LH is the slower, or percussive style, the RH would have no problem, but i suddenly got confused what to do with RH when the LH is a ongoing, running groove
@@ejshelby5460 I'm still unsure what you have in mind, so I'm afraid I can't offer any advice :(. If you happen to run into something like that, or record yourself performing it, send a reply here and I'll have a listen.
Something is missing in this video. The left hand bass note is typically determined by the melodic notes played on the main downbeats - typically at 1, 3 or 5 note intervals below the melodic note in the large majority of songs. In your video here, could you explain when and why you would change the bass notes while playing the same melodic notes on the right-hand? It seems that what you are demonstrating in this video is something that would be used primarily to play an interlude midway through a song.
It's difficult for me to rationalize my points against a set of preconceptions I'm not even aware of. The truth is that the left hand bass can be determined by a great many things, including the melody; the chord; the progression (preceding and following chords); and the composer's desire to create harmonic interest/motion, among others.
Thanks for replying to my question. My apologies if my question was a bit vague :-) What I’m trying to understand is what is it that I should be able to do and play on the piano after watching the video? Am I in actuality learning from the video how to play different types of chords off the tonic note of C or am I learning how to play different chord progressions to create a simple tag intro or ending to an improvised song?
@@MangoldProject The other day, I realized that the common rule to finding chords to go with a melody (“find the basic chord that carries the melodic notes played in the strong beats” and “play the chords that are in the melody’s key signature”) can be rephrased or reframed into much more immediate and concrete terms as “play the melodic note on the strong beat as note 1, 3, or 5 of the chord”. This is equivalent to what I said in the previous message “play the root note at 1, 3, or 5 note intervals below the melodic note”. This deceptively simple change in wording can bring so much more clarity! This simple reframing and rephrasing of the rule for finding chords for a song (and the root notes or bass notes) literally enabled me to quite suddenly add chords to and extemporaneously play songs by ear on piano and play songs in any key (and without actually having to identify the key if the song). It was an amazing ah-ha moment for me. :-)
You are always great playing but you don't gave us the reason WHY we use this chord or another .....For example at the begin you where playing octaves (C) on your right hand and various chords (C, F, Bb, G and so on) on your left, some of them sounded to my ear nice and matched and some not. So how we choose the right chords then ....Simple maybe......????
I wouldn't say simple, but I suggest you check out my full jazz piano course here on RUclips, which discusses many of these ideas and especially "how to choose chords": ruclips.net/p/PLP9cbwDiLzdKVOHbx4B0EhwYNksXYaX3s
Pianists can't help themselves can they, a chance yet again to show off and they talk about a lesson like they're teachers. They aren't mostly, just have no one to play too.
Can't stop listening to the first melody.)
Alexei Talankov I kind of enjoyed playing that one, so glad the feeling came across.
Agnus Marley imma see if I could hack yours.
This is insane, THANK U. It really opened my eyes for how important and how much you can do with your left hand to make everything just sound different.
Thank you so much! So good! I really struggle with adding creative left hand progressions to my right hand compositions
This was insightful in a way that most tutorial videos are not. Thank you very much
Wow 😮😮😮 you are the best teacher...I was struggling with this base. Thank you for sharing 🙏. Be blessed 🙏.
i hav been a silent student of yours. Thanks a lot.
Thanks for "dropping by" and saying hello :)
This is exactly what I needed to see in my learning. Awesome
Glad it was helpful!

Excellent. Doing this exercise also promotes left/right hand independence.
Thanks for the video. I play the piano in grade 6 currently... was helpful ur video.

Thanks really trying hard to break the base line code ..thanks this is practical....not gimmicks. Good job.
Thank you Sir. Im a beginner and coming across your videos on RUclips has really helped me
Was going through old comments and found yours. Hope you've advanced and got the hang of it by now!
I really hope this guy kept playing
@@DonutCopper2000 i really hope so to
0:27 just saving a time stamp for my self

Thank you so much. I learned a lot
I need to learn this :-)
1:37 just saving for the melody
Love that first melody
SO good !
that sounded dope!
Great tutorial
RIP Ray Manzarek
fantastic lesson, thanks!!!
Alex Winson Glad to help out!
thank you for this video
Superb

Thank you
You are the best, all your videos are interesting thank you
Thanks Saad.
very good
That was cool dude, good job.
You are a v v v nice teacher
good lesson, thank you. your tutorials are the best
Thanks Gato!

Dave S. Thanks Dave! I plan to continue, so stay tuned!
+Bronson Lum C7 (in the right hand) over a bass of Bb (in the left hand).
an ASMR piano tutorial xD! Great video though, loved it
really true!
Excellent !
Great technic. Also is possible playing the C, D, C together with the right hand.
Really helpful and intuitive
Very nice sir
Very good.. its very heplful
Thank you that lesson really clicked with me
omg...i love this dude...
Thank you For sharing! Lee
+Rick Larson You're welcome Lee.
Thanks!
wow. you just open my mind with that.
That's what I'm here for.
I can't play one octave in one hand because my hands are little
😂😂😁
Where can I learn more of these implied chords?
the first melody had this interstellar vibe haha
i really like your lessons mate!!!! :) (y)
emekajji seven Thanks a lot Emekajji! Hope to see you back for upcoming lessons.
Should some Am be Am7 since there is a G?
Hi sir i just want to ask if the major chords and minor chords is using only for left hand? Im beginner. Thanks
Wouldn't c minor be an implied harmony ehen you play Eb as the bass?

With the Eb bass I'm playing Eb, C, G, which make up the Cm chord. However, the Eb bass strongly "implies" an Eb or Eb6 chord (missing the 5th) in my opinion. The best way to answer the question is to try and substitute both chords (Eb, Cm) and see which one sounds more similar to the original voicing, and deciding based on that. Hope that made some sense.
I see. When it all comes down too it, the name of the cord really dosen't matter, but the sound does. :)

Cool what makes you choose those notes for the base are you just having fun creating it or are you following a music rule

Ehhhhhh brother that a dope tune, I was really feelin it. Please tell me it was yours....would love to collab, I'm a singer/composer.
yep
@MangoldProject Hey this video was very informative but I would appreciate if you could make a video on how incorporate bass in songs. Thanks.
In the pipeline!

Your Welcome
prettey good
1:36
Do you give online classes
Would the notes being played in the right hand be considered pedal notes?
Oh great, now every time I watch music videos there has to be a yousician app ad.
Hey, it's better than the paper towel ad I get on every single video I watch on RUclips ...
Me like videos , thanks !
Is that a Roland you have there? What's the model? :)
RD700GX
I knew it! Thanks for replying :)
I mean, i feel asmr in this video
Not gonna lie this sounds like gotenks theme
if I can get this I could get better and better.
I think you can compose a song with that melody
hitting puberty? haha love the vid tho
Make me bass left hand in G chord pls
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Sorry I'm lost
I thought left hand play chord and right play melody ....im wrong😅😅😅
Voice crack time stamp 1:20
wats this song called u are playing?
+i_lov_turtle teri It's just an improvisation for the sake of this video.
Please fix your mix on your voice.... i didnt come here for ASMR
The noises coming from your mouth make it very annoying to watch, the rest of the video is very good 👍
that voice cracks😂

Yes.
