- If you want to step up your piano skills, come in and learn this straightforward trick that produces an amazing sound: playing chords in fifths! This is so simple but sounds so good that everyone should know it. I'll show you what this trick is about, demonstrate how it sounds and give you a neat way to practice it by playing the major scale in a way you've never seen before ;).
I can only be grateful because those who know this secret don’t teach it. I’m 71 and have been looking for more than 6o years for someone as generous as you. Thank you.
Easy tempo too 👍😁 😁
🥺
Agreed 🌷
Gob bless you for sharing this info
I’ve seen multiple videos that talk about the circle of 5ths but this is the first time I’ve seen the concept of 5ths applied and explained in such a clear way. Thank you!
BRO im saying. i just saw this video and was like "OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH got it."
Helpful hint guys: A Chord is primarily ""3"" alternate notes UP any Scale - on *ANY* instrument (or 4 notes DOWN from any Scale*). EXAMPLE: a C Major or minor Chord is C E ""G"" {the 5th note UP from C}.. F Major Chord is F A "" C""; {the 5th note UP from ""F""}. G Major or minor Chord is G B ""D"" {the 5th note UP or 4 notes DOWN from ""G"" etc. etc.} . Alright gang, Kick-a** !!! 😁👍😁
The term "5th" is literally the a way of measuring distance in terms of tones/sound in regards to music interverals any key you start with is unison LETS SAY C count C as 1 and 4 white notes up is G 4+1=5 perfect 5th or a "5th"
Let me take my time to tell how much I appreciate the way you take your time to point out every little detail. A lot of people are great musician but you are a fantastic teacher , you know how to break it down . That is the key to teaching anything , you have to start from the basic and explain the terminology step by step . Thanks very much , with all these lesson I feel as if I am in college it can not get better than this . One more thing a lot of us are trying to learn something and we just cannot seem to get It right , and the reason is I think is this we are using the incorrect method . That is why there is school , and teachers , instead of us trying to learn everything by ourselves or reinvent the wheel so to speak , we can get advise from others and Dreams will come through achieving your Goals ahead of time . Again I am so greatfull for all of this knowledge that you are imparting , it is becoming clearer that the Universe and God is One , have a great day
Mangold, Your musical concepts are magical and so enjoyable. Richard Mahan 83 yrs.young.
You're an inspiration Richard :) I hope i'm still learning at 83. I know 30 year olds who I think have stopped
What a great use of the circle of fifths. You teach us how to take a musical journey. While I'm not quite at the level yet, this isn't something that is impossible for a beginner. You are an great teacher for aspiring students.
LOVE THIS!! Music with no tonal center opens new dimensions of music possibilities...
In this hard times, learning music is life saving ; as your channel ; I realize I'm here for years now and I never thanked you :/ ...So thank you so much for sharing all of your knowledge here !!
Cheers from France :)
Thanks. I hear you guys are getting it pretty bad in France, so be sure to stay safe!
Hey, I'm 17 and have been trying jazz piano for a couple years now. Your videos are an amazing medium for me to learn because I can't afford professional lessons yet you have a way of delivering professional thoughts to your viewers without making it too hard to understand. Thanks from a viewer.
The best teachers are your favorite pianists. Transcribe their solos and playing and imitate them. That's how jazz was learned for many decades before it was taught in universities.
Looking for this for forty years! God bless this brother! Much ❤️ love 💗!
I have heard this many times in jazz music over the years and never knew what it was. Its great for talk music or intros. But can be used as chords for songs as well. Add meledoies to each chord makes it even better. I love this. I'm going to learn this in ever key.. This is also can be considered a scale mode
That is the most beautiful combination of notes I have heard, so peaceful,so ambiguous ,like the harbinger of a summer storm, thank you so much, I am 73 and learning piano after playing guitar since the hippie days
Thank you for making this so easy to understand.
I will use this tomorrow at church when we are in free praise. Also plan to workout this on the saxophone.
May God bless you!
Cool. Have a good time trying it out.
This was a massive a ha moment for me, thanks so much!!! Really great video.
Very well done and fully explained without too much theory. I will work on this until I master it completely. THANK YOU!
Fantastic as always.
Clear teaching with nothing missed!
Very clearly explained and a whole new world opens up for me, I was looking for new ways to make chord progressions, awewsomeee
Another way to teach this using the circle of fifths (C major is my example): Pick any note on the outer part of the circle of fifths (C) - play that major triad with your left hand (C - E - G). That is what key you are in (C major). Look at the very next note (G) that is clockwise on the circle of fifths from the note you originally picked. This major triad (G - B - D) will be played with your right hand. This (G) is your fifth. The circle of fifths is extremely helpful for figuring out many things. :)
Chameleon Sky thanks for this!
Great !
Thanx !
Amazed about the circle of fifth and how it simplifies this lesson.
You are the winner!
Good way to teach this concept thank you. End result of each chord = a Major 9 chord. I'm a guitarist but this looks like fun so I'm going to sit down at the piano and give this a go. Thanks
I watched this lesson and a slow 'Ah -Ha' crept over my mind. Lots and lots of tonal possibilities from this and lots of ways to add interest to 'standard' progressions. Intros and outros all take on a new possibility. Thank you for this.
Food for thought? Food for thought, maybe, but I haven't encountered such way of teaching. I think most people are lost at jargon, myself included. You put in a way that's graspable. These chords are so full, I sort of hear symphonies. A lot of melodic ideas arrived ar me while watching this. Love the sound. Loved the way it was presented. Let's see what we can do from here on out. Thx!
The difference between you and the other teacher that you are an honest teacher .... God Bless you ...you are a gift from God ...
Thank you for this exercise. It's definitely one of those things that demystifies the keyboard. 😎😊
Stopped playing the piano for a while, so this is great stuff to get my teeth back into the keys. I can think of multiple ways to use this. Very nice lesson! Keep it up!
This is the best damn video I've seen on the subject and just leveled me up.
Cool!
Beautiful! I have long wondered how they achieved that sound. Yet it is so simple. Thanks!
This has helped so much. Being still in school and only starting playing a few years ago this has helped me find my sound. These types of spacious chords are what I love!
Just discovered this gem. Thanks a lot for sharing. I was not that clear about the use of perfect 5th with the left hand to stack chords and now it all makes sense!
This should win the Oscar medal for best intro ever!
Love this trick. It's a lot of fun to play with.
This opned up my mind to a pathway to "IMPROVISATION." Always seems so overwhelming: play this scale over this chord symbol. Pairing specific triads, arpegiating one - that's a path to explore..... thank you
Set a great explanation on an awesome technique. never explained better
You just an amazing person! :) thank you so much! Every video is a revelation!
Thanks Natalia. I'm having fun making these videos.
I have been looking for this for very long time and couldn't figure out what it was or how to look for it. I am very appreciative . Thank you so much
Yes very well said for a beginner in chord progression!
Wow! This opens up a new world to me! ! Thank you!
This is just a Major 9th chord voicing with the 5th doubled. It absolutely has a tonal center (which is the key of the left hand triad). The floating quality comes from the 7th and 9th in the chord. You can also do the minor version which results in a minor 9th chord. "Stacking 5ths" however, usually refers to the so-called Kenny Barron voicing in which you actually stack perfect 5ths to construct the chord, resulting in Major +11th and Minor 11th chords. These sound even more floating.
I think the tonal center depends on how exactly "disjoint" the two triads are. Sure, if you play F A C E G then it sounds like an Fmaj9 and has a clearly defined root. However, what happens if you play F and C far apart on the keyboard? This definitely sounds "confusing" to the ear. However, it's not as if we'll come to some sort of agreement on this, seeing as there's not objective "centrality" metric that can unambiguously settle this.
I guess I’d think of it as a 1-3-5-7-9 major chord also. But I like the idea of thinking of it as two chords, and then moving the bass around between them to change the perception. Gonna mess around with this...
Excellent lesson in modern harmony for music keyboardist'
Ahh, this is how Joe Jackson's "Steppin' Out" is put together- very nice video!
Ooooh-really. (Scurries off to check it out)
Wow! I had never though of this. Thank you for sharing!
Fascinating! This is the kind of motif or compositional idea that fellas like Debussy, Schonberg and Stockhausen might have experimented with. I know that Debussy teased tonality by using quartal chords. What you've shown definitely teases tonality and I thought that I might have heard an underlying dissonance. There's definitely tension. Thank you for showing that there's quite a bit that can be done with the lowly triad
This is a REAL gamechanger for me. They sound SO beautiful. Reminding me of Sakamoto….
I have to say one of the few tutorials where I can get new ideas.
Really excellent teaching of a really useful concept. In just a few minutes, you expanded my musical universe, and I am hugely grateful.
I’m so blown away! You are awesome 😇
I dont know how to thank you man the way you explained it was very clear 👍
A comment is a good way to thank a creator on RUclips!
Thank you! I’ve been searching for that sound for years!
Very clear direction and easy to pick up. You sir, a good teacher you are!
Glad it was helpful!
The circle of fifths seems to really come in handy for this lesson. Thank you!
Yes. It comes in handy in general!
Your lesson is wonderfull and great. thank you so much... In deed you have brought me new idears.
Thank you, thank you, THANK you! I've heard chords like this so many times and wasn't sure how to make them.
These new tricks are gonna make some panties drop 👍🏻 seriously this changed my play style gave it a refinement from the simple playing I have.
I hope the 4 people who disliked this video have something better in this life to offer. Awesome tutorial my brother keep it up, you have imparted me a lot. God bless you
Don't worry about the dislikes. Even if I upload a video of 3 dancing kittens curing cancer there will still be dislikes. That's the way some people are.
MangoldProject you are right sir.
Yeah, what MangoldProject said 🙂
I hope the 137 people who disliked study a little bit of basic music theory before they come back to this video and like it
MangoldProject lol,true story.
Sounds great can't with to learn this. 4th modulation in the left really ad to the colors of the sound. Thanks for sharing this exercise!@
Thank you so much for this tutorial. For me, it opened a door I've been trying to open for a while. You made this easy to understand.
This is a gamechanger for me. They sound SO beautiful. Reminding me of Sakamoto….
Good Video and Simple to understand. Thank you Sir
So bloody simple but very useful. thanks for this, this will influence my composing straight away...
Thanks
Great lesson.
Please continue to share your knowledge.
Be blessed.
I intend to do so!
Very cool. Can’t wait to get to the piano in the morning. Thank you.
Wow! My entire original songwriting psyche has just had a major paradigm shift. Thanks heaps.
Awesome 👏, thank you for sharing your gift with us! God Bless!
Wonderful video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge😊
I hear this a lot in the Pentecostal church but no-one will teach it. My wandering is over!!! Thank you so much!
I watch almost all your videos and study them thanks for the great content!
Tears of joy for this kind of tutoria! I rock my world with this. Thanks for this great break down. I should be ur number one fan from today.. i love you!
Prepare your tissue paper, because I release new videos every week or two! Or three, sometimes.
U are the best teacher i have met, secret review easily
Your videos have kept me going. I don't know why your videos are so easy for me to understand, However, I have been a struggling piano player for many years trying to crack from beginners level to advance over 15 years now. please, do you have a structured pattern of study to help me follow you from begging to advanced to stop this confusion I have had over all these years. It's frustrating me. SOS.
Thank you, always great great pointers
OMGGGG fabulous simple idea but POWER!!!!! thank you so much!! really appreciate
So cool! Now I have to experiment with stacking minors too! Thank you for showing us this.
Love this because I love maj7 Chords. This concept makes everything sound fuller when i have to play without a band
Thank you very much. A bit ahead of where I am at but I have learnt something about floating chords and relationships. Each teacher , and many fine, explains in their way and that is good. Important to look at further explanation in comments. Greetings to the cat. :)
Thanks. Cat barely acknowledges greetings, keeps licking itself.
thanks teacher, with this technique the composer, make wonderful songs, and this can be transposed to different chords, it has been very helpful
Thank you so much for this excellent video. Very helpful.
WOW! you've so given me TONS of ideas! So simple yet so brilliant! thank you so much!
And I am glad you did not move Miru as he sleeps. Thank you this is in my Watch Later Playlist. I watch it as a replay to learn. Have a great day sir.
Ur a very good teacher... Love u sir
This is awesome !
I had never met this.
So helpful!!
Thank you !!
This sounds like a lot of the music in Breath of the Wild
You have no idea how many people have told me that ... Never played the game myself, though.
thank you, i was thinking the exact same thing
This is an awesome tutorial. I really wish to take piano lessons from you. You make everything look very simple yet beautiful when played.
This is an amazing teaching. The visual symmetry is also interesting.
The way you explain things is perfect, thank you!
Great lesson ... Really opens things up ... Sounds fantastic
Much appreciated 👍
Thank you so much. This is truly great to know. ❤️
Thank you so much, I am excited to play around with this
Thank you for the video, Sir. My piano playing is being transformed by your efforts. That's a really cute cat.
Love the sleepy💤🐈 cat story, thank you for lesson, very cool 😎
Thanks so much for this... This video just fell in my lap; I am almost certain this is how Joe Sample did there intros of my favorite songs (A Rainy Day In Monterrey, Midnight And Mist)
Excellent. Many thanks.
you always describe tricks simply and effective
Great lesson! Thanks!
Muito bom! Já vi esses truques em diferentes canais do RUclips, mas não ficou tão claro pra mim como aplicá-los, como nesta aula. Parábens. Espero que continue dividindo seus conhecimentos conosco.
Just had to sign in to "like" this super video. Very good instructional tool and your English is excellent. Such a simple idea, yet as is often the case, quite complex to become fluent at, I look forward to practcing this chord structure. Thanks for such an interesting and useful contribution.
Excellent, awesome delivery.
Me encantan sus trucos. Son geniales y muy bien explicados. Gracias infinitas.
Excellent info, very well demonstrated and explained. Thanks for posting!
This was massively interesting to watch. It's my first time seeing something like this method of generating music with this approach. It appears to have massive possibilities with what can be generated here. This definitely makes me want to brush up on my music theory so that I can try some of this. Thanks very much!!!!!
Massive indeed! For example, have you ever noticed that:
C13#11 = C7 + D
Fantastic Video. I am really enjoying trying to put it together. I nearly got the right hand down, I'm writing it out as score for practice.
Good. Writing it out will help you internalize the idea.
Well done and very clear. Thank you.
Interesting! Thank you very much!
You really teached me something, Thanks alot
You're welcome.
