Piano Superhuman, I could not access the free download. Please can you send it to ancestordesavio@gmail.com I am Emmanuel. you have a nice teaching technique
Man you on point but I have a question for you your stuff sounds like Top 40 music however what do you have for us Funk and Neo Soul players? Because this doesn't sound like anything Funky at all
You are the best piano teacher i encountered on youtube. May God bless you. I am 55, and have been trying to learn to play. And you are such a blessing to us.
Thanks Zach, for the video my wife and i are in our late 60's. Both of us never played the piano before. But this late in life i thought i would never play but my wife got sick and she needs to do things that she never done so her brain can create new pathways for learning. One of the things she can do to help her is play music. like the piano. So here we are I am her coach in trying to help her in something i never done. So i am slow but i am trying. Also i am not good on this computer eather. I just love your playing and my wife likes it too. So thank you for trying to help us. Tom & Genevieve.
Hey Tom & Genevieve, wow such a great story. I applaud you for helping teach her - I know there have been a lot of studies that suggest playing an instrument can help keep the brain working and learning, so it's a great thing you're doing. So glad you're enjoying the lessons, and keepup the good work
Holy Crap! I can't believe how easy you made this. You are a great teacher. You are right, other on-line piano teachers show the chords really fast and then say now go do that. Well, I can't go do that. I even paid a lot of money for a year of one of those courses trying to learn to do this and did not learn a thing. Got very frustrated and quit, then I found you. You know how to actually teach, that is a gift not everyone has. I now attend your Piano University classes and am learning so much and the cool thing is the lifetime membership was cheaper than a year with the other one. I just went and played what you showed in this video and I am extremely impressed with myself, it sounded like I knew what I was doing... and the best part is I did know because you broke it down for me. Thanks and looking forward to part 2!
Thanks so much for the kind words Sherry! I put a TON of time into making sure I'm breaking everything down and giving y'all all the resources you need, so its really great to know it's appreciated :)
I'm just starting out playing the keyboard. I've watched a lot of videos on this subject. On youtube there are probably 5 good teachers. This is one of the best guys to learn from. The best part is you're not boring. You don't drone on and on. You stick to the fact that you're teaching newbs. I don't need to be drilled in music theory. I have books to read about that.
Smatchet, he probably wasn’t born twenty years ago when we needed him!! Haha!! No offense Zach!! But u look very young!! Incredibly knowledgeable but young!! Thanks so much for ur tutorial!! U rock!! From the old lady in Boston!!
I've never seen a video so well explained. I've been playing for two years but playing from a chord chart is something I never truly understood because the videos were way too fast and I was stuck with super simple rhythm patterns. I cannot wait to see the part two of this video to learn even more ! Once again thank you so much for your work Zach you're an amazing teacher
Hi as a senior this is part of my bucket list, I like the way you teach. And hopefully I can come through with your teaching. Mr Frank from Maryland. Wish me well ....tks
Not only is your piano explanation clear, your accent is so easy for me to follow. You see, I'm from Argentina, and I learned to hear a British accent, that's why it is sometimes difficult for me to understand the different accents of the United States. But your English is like a glass of water to me. As we say here in Argentina Thank you very much for being like you are! I also want to add that your voice is so full of energy and passion that it motivates just listening to it
17:58 excellent! You have explained it so well indeed😊 I would like to ask one question. Why are we using C G A F in left hand. And not other notes with Balance Bottom heavy balance top heavy respectively. Why have we selected these notes in this sequence only?
Zach, I wanna thank you so much! I am a beginner and absolutely loving your videos - your generous, amazing and helpful content made simple and fun - true mastery on your part. Too many make it complicated I agree. Hey Zach, your light and passion shines through! Thank you, so grateful to have found you. Keep up this amazing creations and teachings. much love, Thuvaraka x
This is such amazing teaching…..it is clear, simple, concise and importantly conveyed in such a manner that actually learning to play the piano is achievable. 5-STARS to you
Hi Zach I just purchased a keyboard and just starting to play. I am a drummer in my younger days And am also learning bass guitar. These are the benefits of having a room open up when your son moves out to make a music room! I am so enthralled with the sound of piano notes and chords it is actually soothing to hear those Sounds come out.and really enjoy how you make so easy to understand. Especially chunking.
Thank you Zach. Another excellent lesson and so easy to understand. I'm taking a piano university class and hope to be playing well soon. I'm a complete beginner. To the people who are watching this, you will never find a teacher as good as Zach. Most people teaching in the internet know how to play but that fact does not translate to knowing how to teach. Zach is a great piano player and a tremendously gifted piano teacher, he really knows how to teach.
Zac i cannot agree more with what you said about supposably beginner videos that dump viewers with a bunch of stuff all at once. I have always been interested to play the piano but have been too afraid to try it. with your style of teaching, doing it in bits, i might actually have a chance.
thank you , your training step by step is easy to understand and simple to start, just start learning piano(self learn) from your videos. i really like that you include the proper learning steps.
Thank you for your videos and your efforts. I was a novice on the piano three weeks ago and your free lessons helped me. Now I am a beginner. Thanks Zack!
AWESOME CONENT I was actually looking for more complex rhythms since I already have a few under my belt, but I saw you were teaching FROM GROUND LEVEL and I actually really liked the way you presented it! I’ve been playing for a couple years, but I followed along from one finger up. If I can ever afford a teacher, I’m looking for someone with your energy and your patience
You are amazing teacher, Zach. I have been watching some of your videos during the pandemic and make me addicted. Now I can play with my two hands 😄 Greetings from Indonesia.
This is a great method of teaching! Already have one of the courses (hand speed) and things are coming together after just 45 days. This video is bringing it to life. Thanks Zach
BRAVO ZACH - ✅THIS WAS AN EXCELLENT LESSON!!!!! THANK YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!🙏🙏🙏. REALLY APRRECIATE IT……..AND ALL THAT YOU SHARE WITH YOU. Ok GOD Bless 😍
Thanks Mr. zach. U r simply awesome, this is the best way to teach rhythms. It is so tough to understand, I could only sense it now. Same even guitar strumming. I am practicing now. I am really happy. I will practice this on piano keyboard too. I see there is link in rhythms on strumming and this. Only D here no UD unlike in guitar strumming. Thanks again for your wonderful way to teach for piano lover's Generation.
I've been needing rhythm patterns for playing songs. I can hardly wait for the intermediate lessons. I'm a member of best piano class, and Supercharge taught me HOW to practice, and Techniques are building my STRENGTH and DEXTERITY. I highly recommend them.
I am truly loving ur vids! i learnt to play when i was 10 but stopped around age 12. now at 34 i am re-learning and loving the neurons firing back up. This is only my 2nd video so far of yours, and i cant wait for the next. i have started viewing sooooo many but not felt it but your passion and energy and actual beginner lessons for a beginner it makes me want to learn more and more. you have really helped me feel a little more like i want to live and learn lol. sounds lame but its true. thanks!
I've always wanted to be able to play the piano... but never been able to. Haha I still can't play it, but after watching a couple of your videos Zach I can sure fool my family into thinking that I can!! Thank you so much!👍🙏😁
I don't at the moment!! But I can come out with some soon. Here's a quick overview: Maj7 chords is a major chord, with a major third on top. So a C Maj7 is CEGB. Fastest way is to first find the major chord, then add the major 7th by going one note down from the root (so one note down from C is B) GMaj7 is GBDF# FMaj7 is FACE Maj9 chord is just a Maj 7 chord, but thhen you ad the 9th on top. To find the 9th, just go two notes up from the root. So: CMaj9 is CEGBD GMaj9 is GBDF#A FMaj9 is FACEG Hope that helps!
Incredible stuff as always. You’re so right about the people who teach one small step and then jump to “okay now let’s put it all together” and they start playing chord progressions that they never went over 🤣🤣🤣🎯
Thanks for a very helpful lesson. I am practicing the rhythm patterns, (great brain exercising by the way) but I’m not sure, as someone who likes to play simple folk and blues music, how I would use them.
Hey John, so yea it could help as a brain exercise just to get rhythms under your belt, but for folk/blues music, this lesson is going to help you out a lot more: ruclips.net/video/MuDkPso7qwY/видео.html
wowwwww thank you so much i really like the bottom and heavy notes (it's my first time to know it). but really only one finger in the left hand? i though i will play same chords at my right hand. thanks
Thanks a lot for making it easy and understandable because you are teaching it one by one and one at a time slowly. You have a good lesson and strategy for a beginner like me. I subscribed and liked your video for I learned a lot. I hope your next lesson will also be clear and slow to cope up with the lesson. God bless you.
Sir, you are well explained and I Like it very much. But I think sometimes if you slowly explained it. Thane , I, so Like it. Thank,u from India (Assam).
Hej Zack Do you have tutorials for Hammond organ B3? That would be very helpfull. I like your way of teaching very much. Greetings from Jytte from Denmark

Zach thanks for all that you do, do you have any videos that explain maj7th and maj9th chords I need HELP!!!!
I don't at the moment!! But I can come out with some soon. Here's a quick overview:
Maj7 chords is a major chord, with a major third on top. So a C Maj7 is CEGB. Fastest way is to first find the major chord, then add the major 7th by going one note down from the root (so one note down from C is B)

Maj9 chord is just a Maj 7 chord, but thhen you ad the 9th on top. To find the 9th, just go two notes up from the root. So:
CMaj9 is CEGBD
GMaj9 is GBDF#A
FMaj9 is FACEG
Hope that helps!
