If you like this lesson, definitely check out www.zombieguitar.com/ It is a one of a kind site dedicated to teaching guitarists to understand the fretboard inside and out!!
This makes perfect sense - as it’s the same way I boosted my knowledge 40 years ago... by sitting at the piano with my guitar and working out what I was playing, on both instruments, and having a great time. It’s also a great way to experience those blinding ‘eureka’ moments... when something finally makes sense!
Brian great great lesson. I already was playing guitar and started with piano because I want learn all I can about playing music and guitar. This lesson added to already eye opening discoveries I have had since including piano into my study.Also that is why I started doing Zombie guitar. I don't believe,when it comes to music you can every stop learning. Please do more lessons with the piano. It makes what you learn on guitar fall into place much easier.
Literally bought a keyboard a few days ago thinking it would help with guitar. Haven't found many helpful videos comparing the two until yours popped up in my feed. You're a good teacher man this video helped alot. Would for sure watch other keyboard related videos if u were to make them. Your circle of fifths guitar lesson changed my playing too. Thanks for putting these out
YES Brian more ! Got my start with music as a kid on piano, but never really understood its relation to other instruments. Only that ALL instruments can be better understood and relate back to the piano. Kind of like the piano is the universal instrument for all music. Right now I am learning the guitar with help from your lessons, but also learning mandolin, which is similar in layout to the violin. But all relate back to the piano. You are the best teacher of music theory I have found. So not only are you making my guitar better but your theory is helping me to get a grasp of what I missed with the piano. So yes more lessons involving both instruments sounds good to me ! Keep up the great work ! Thanks
Guitar is my first love, but I'm also into piano and I'm practicing but in the meantime I use a set of keyboards to teach music theory to my guitar students. It's so much easier to see and understand the theory with a piano. #1 Zombie ~ A Michael
Brian. Incredible how you constantly 1up yourself from your previous videos/lessons. Your knowledge and enthusiasm is contagious. I’ve said it before, will say it again, You da best on this whole internet thing.
another good method for seeing the minor/major relationship is playing the triads over the bass note, c, for c major sound, and play the same thing over the a note, using drones this way is a good way of hearing the other modes also
I wish I'd seen this 30 years ago! I had classical piano lessons for 6 years, but when I first got my hands on a guitar I found the fretboard incomprehensible and fairly frustrating. Having the same note in different locations proved a difficult concept for me. Another hurdle was the 1D layout of a keyboard versus the 2D construction of a fretboard. The intervals are much less obvious on the fretboard and there really wasn't anyone around to point me in the right direction. Unfortunately, I lost my enthusiasm pretty quickly and sold the guitar and amp. It wasn't until last year, after discovering some helpful RUclips guitar and music theory videos, that I gave guitar another shot. It's been much better the second time around.
I am a piano player (accordian) with Grade 10 piano and Grade 2 theory. I am trying to learn the guitar. I know the notes, the key signatures and the elements of harmony, base, melody , etc, etc, etc. This is the first time I have seen someone link the piano keyboard and the guitar fretboard and I really appreciated it. A couple of things clicked for me. I hope you continue this series, and if you don't, I would certainly appreciate any advise that you have to offer.
Wish I could give this a 1000 thumbs up 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼!!! The piano keyboard layout always made sense. The guitar? Clueless! The fog is beginning to clear after watching your video. Thank you for explaining this so clearly!
After a lifetime of playing guitar I finally learned what the “key” or signature means. Now my brain is hungry for more. Thanks so much!🤙 p.s. you’re an amazing teacher.
I really like your way to summarize everything together as a whole. You have a “global” view of music. I play piano and it is nice overview. I especially like using the strumming pattern on the piano. Good for midi production. Thanks.
Thanks! This was really interesting. I never really looked at a piano as a way to understand more about the guitar. I hope you continue making more of these types of videos
EXCELLENT LESSON Brian!!! THANK YOU!!!🙏🙏🙏. Yesssss, Definitely, have at it.......With more Lessons how Understanding Piano Music Theory - that will help us understand how it ties in with the Guitar🎸🎸🎸. God Bless you!
I wish I had seen this RUclips video in 1984 (would have been hard since there was no RUclips... or internet... or computers that could stream...) I did eventually discover this for myself after decades of struggling on guitar.
Man, that was amazing, learned more in 30 m than months of reading books, watching videos, and trying to figure out this stuff, awesome teacher. You definitely earn my subscription. Cheers.
Aha again when I saw that I could build my own circle of 5ths and 4ths by simply flatting the 7th(C to F) or sharping the 4th(C to G). More importantly, this is simply the procedure for maintaining the whole steps/half steps for the Major scale.
As I started learning digital Piano several years ago, my ability to absorb guitar lesson is sky rocketting. Do you know why?. It's bcoz there is no way you can play Piano without knowing the music theories. Before that, I am lazy enough to focus on learning guitar theories bcoz I was stuck at memorizing chord patterns and then just playing along with ready made song/music.
@Brian Kelly You are Very Very good at teaching and explaining !! You are one of a few who really knows the guitar and has a desire to share. There is so much confusion online!!! Why everyone wants to help others without knowledge and understanding the subject? They don't even bother to prepare to teach a lesson before turning on cameras... As a result the net is a big mess made of 99% unrelated information chunks. Hard to find a True Teacher who you really are by nature and who is truly knowledgeable and very well informed. P.S piano stuff and comparison is a great idea, please keep doing, very useful, some have a few instruments at home and it helps to quickly get the concepts of theory and practical use.
Wow! you have taken your teaching to a new level. I have an appreciation for the piano, I wish to be better at playing piano, I will look at the course mentioned. I would add use a guitar chords book to help relate to the piano not a piano chord book if you are a guitarist. I use Guitar Chords edited by Jake Jackson - Flame Tree Publishing. This has chord spelling along with chord shape boxes. Once you understand the piano layout you can relate, guitar to piano. Yeah carry on with this concept of teaching, I haven't see anyone else do it. I watch a lot of YT. There maybe someone else I've not seen, however I'm subcribed to you, so I get yours first. Great job.
Not sure if your a music theory teacher but if not, you should be😎. Something about the way you explain music theory in all your videos that I like.👍. Thanks Brother🍺
I'm dead keen. Some time ago I acquired an el cheapo keyboard, with the precise objective of understanding chord construction and theory. It worked as well. I'm not aiming to be a skilled pianist, but using it the strengthen my guitar knowledge. But why say no to further skills?
My goodness Brian! I could have done with this when I started learning bass guitar towards the end of last year. Coming from a piano, then drums, then keyboards background I pieced it all together slowly. As a youngster the piano teacher just had us playing scales and pieces by Mozart, Beethoven etc. Never delved into the theory at all. Wish she had. Anyway, do more please coz it will help with it all.
aah so funny! as a guitarplayer, so many stuff i didnt get on the guitar coz - even with some (basic) music-theoretical background - you have to twist your brain like seven times to get it. easier to just let the muscle memorize. but recently, there was a piano - and i just startet to play it and it worked out - only because of musical theoretical understanding (basicly exact the things you explain so nicely in your video). on the piano is like the whole theory rolled out and laying in front of you. (little bit like a cheat, after long years on the guitar:) - so for me its like a bonus instrument to play now and i enjoy it A LOT. - so seeing your video now just wraps up what i recently found out and could apply. so it was fun to watch, coz it deepend this experience i had even further and helped me also get the link back to the guitar.
Please do more videos using the keyboard. So clear and helps my understanding of music theory in a practical way. It really makes things click to see this comparison of keyboard and guitar.
Thats very good, l myself are a long time guitar player and have just started playing piano, that was a good insight has made me think about my objectives about guitar playing.
They are both string instruments.. But. the difference comes from the phisics.. How each one is constructed. The piano has one string for each 88 notes connected to a key you can push..88 strings each one of a different length.. The guitar has 6 strings with 12 or 24 notes on each and you put your finger to create the right distance of the string for each note.. That creates complication because you can not play two notes of the same string at the some time.
Aha moment #1 for me comparing keyboard to guitar neck. I used a guitar neck diagram and wrote the notes one by one starting with low open E. When I realized that I had a pattern on the 1st 3 frets going vertically and one line going horizontal on the high E string and the rest of the frets and strings up to the 12th fret were all duplicates!
I been playing guitar on and off for 30 years and the last 5 years learning theory. During start of pandemic i started learning to play piano and now i think im better at piano than guitar. IFunny that piano seems easier for me than guitars although i love playing guitar more.
Cool Brian, you're right on time! I pulled out my keyboard a few days ago to start playing it again to broaden my music vocabulary along with my guitar and here you are! Awesome! And you play the keys pretty good! Your channel is awesome, Thank you.
Hi Brian definitely keep the piano up with the guitar can we have more guitar relative to the piano scenario I need all the help I can get plus it helps to memorise the notes on the fretboard great lesson Alfred Sibbons
Brian Kelly, you are a mighty man at the music. This was great. I have a keyboard in the house this long time and not a clue what to do with it until now. Thanks.
I tell all aspiring guitarists to take a month and learn your basics of piano. Like guitar it has its ‘shapes’ but as a theory tool it is much easier. It also gets us thinking horizontally as a guitarist.
I’ve been studying guitar and piano simultaneously also. A couple of points to expand on: 1) The piano is essentially a visualization of the C Major scale. All black keys represent Whole step intervals (wwh-wwwh), which is why there are two black and then three black keys. [yeah it makes it as confusing as heck to think about all the other Keys, but beginners need to think in C!] 2) All Keys are basically Major keys. The Relative Minor, as demonstrated well on the guitar part in the video is really just the 6th Mode (Aeolian) of the C Major scale. That in itself doesn’t help expand one’s understanding...until you figure out that it also means that ALL the modes can be played using the same scale patterns on guitar that you already know! It might be easier to learn a nee pattern for Modes that you use a lot (like Minor), but it isn’t necessary.
I can not explain how much your lead guitar road map helped me I found yours was that , and that really changed stuck in a same place life !!! And since then I watched many if your videos !!! But mate !!! Why you don't have any playlist on your channel it's really hard to find videos on a particular series like , music theory , mastering leads , chord tones etc !!! Take Love ❤️❤️❤️ And yeah !!! This is a guitar channel and we are guitar lovers , but at the end of the day we are music lovers !!! So without any hesitation do this kind of video more !!!
Hi Brian, king regards from Portugal. Surprisingly these awesome piano connections referred in your post got me even more excited with guitar playing. Thanks to it there is a lot of stuff that makes sense for me now. So I assume that your objective was accomplished once again which is using all possible and adequate means to get to an end: learn how to play guitar. Please keep up with these awesome piano guitar relationship lessons. It got me subscribing your channel right away. Thank you so much.
Do you think that learning to play piano, obviously a two-handed exercise, had any positive impact on your fretting hand when playing guitar? Thanks for this lesson!
This is the best video to help a beginner. Especially comparing it to the piano. You definitely hit it with this lesson please do more. I learned piano first and now trying guitar. I find guitar so much more confusing because all you hear is play pentatonic scales and caged system . When looking at different teacher it could make you pull out your hair. There fingers are flying 😳 and you like ok . 👍 Now this is a great comparison it definitely will give more understanding. Please do more of these if you can. Thank you Definitely you are awesome for taking your time and go further for us to understand.
I did a more recent and much better video on this topic. Check it out 😁 www.zombieguitar.com/blog/using-the-white-keys-on-a-piano-to-demystify-the-guitar-fretboard
Every time I watch I learn somthing new I've been trying to play since I was 13 I learn more from you in one video then I did in years on my on I'm 53 after watching Mabey 10 hours of your videos I can play in key no about circle of faiths penatonics diatonic modes and much more now I'm intermediate heading for pro I will get you package on the third thanks guy you helped me for free now I'm ready to go pro thanks clark
Thanks a lot. Appretiated. Why not to mention at least once that there are not only two M&m "perspectives" but seven perspectives. Without mentioning this a beginner will learn that there are only two. Thx
I'm not really into gaming personally, but I did build this PC. I do a lot of video editing and recording, so I wanted a powerful computer. This one definitely does the trick!!
Hey Brian , seen you comment on ,Ted Nugents Spirit of Campfire .. . It looked like you wanted to JAM with Nugent. That would work and cool. If so , glad your on board.. Rock n Roll Zombie !!!
OMG, I can't believe that I've been playing for this long and your explanation of exactly what a diminished 7th Chord is FINALLY makes sense to me. Love your videos!
Awesome! Glad you liked the vid 😀. Keep in mind that I just showed triads in this video though. So what you saw was just a "diminished triad", not a fully diminished chord, which contains 4 notes in total..just to clarify!
@@zombieguitar Yes, thanks for that clarification. But getting this first step down will help me understand the diminished. I have just basically been ignoring it because I didn't have a good grasp of "what it is". Now with the understanding of how the triad is formed, I can build on that. I appreciate your straightforward "cut to the core" style. For me it is very useful.

Learning music theory on the keyboard can make everybody a better guitar player and composer. Best of luck!!!

Very interesting video! (ok, it's only been posted for 25 seconds. Yet, it is. I bet. And will now figure out how much)
🤣🤣🤣
I've always wanted to see how a piano looks at music vs a guitar. Well done! Thanks for putting this up.
After a lifetime of playing guitar I finally learned what the “key” or signature means. Now my brain is hungry for more. Thanks so much!🤙 p.s. you’re an amazing teacher.

Your way of explaining this really helps to clarify these concepts. I vote for more! :)
You’re awesome dude 👊😎 Thank you for all of the Knowledge brother 🙏😎
I agree piano is logical and … linear
Thanks! This was really interesting. I never really looked at a piano as a way to understand more about the guitar. I hope you continue making more of these types of videos
EXCELLENT LESSON Brian!!! THANK YOU!!!🙏🙏🙏. Yesssss, Definitely, have at it.......With more Lessons how Understanding Piano Music Theory - that will help us understand how it ties in with the Guitar🎸🎸🎸. God Bless you!

Comparing and contrasting piano and guitar is exactly what you said it is: Super Helpful. 👍👍

That was really useful, I lost the plot a little halfway through, brain tapped out! 2nd watch much clearer!! Like it, many thanks :)
Very special good lesson...thank you very much!
It wll be good to have more lessons about this relation, guitar/piano
Excellent! Have to watch it again so I'll remember it better. Use the piano as much as you can, as it does visually make more sense. Thanks!
Please do more videos using the keyboard. So clear and helps my understanding of music theory in a practical way. It really makes things click to see this comparison of keyboard and guitar.
yes, holly FS! more piano videos! this was awesome - where shall i send that bottle of bourbon, scotch, irish (circle your choice) ?!?
Hey Brian, really interesting perspective. By the way, "YES, please do more of this type of video!"
FOR SURE Brian do more piano stuff it helps us on the guitar quit a bit , thanks for this wonderful explanation ,it all makes sens.
Thats very good, l myself are a long time guitar player and have just started playing piano, that was a good insight has made me think about my objectives about guitar playing.

Excellent tutorial for anyone learning either or both instruments, like myself. Thanks Brian
great lesson Brian and yep I own 5 Vintage electric guitars a Vintage acoustic and a Yamaha P-115 piano so it made sense to me and was most helpful.
thanks man. good stuff. got the piano tuned for my woman for christmas. this will help alot.
I been playing guitar on and off for 30 years and the last 5 years learning theory. During start of pandemic i started learning to play piano and now i think im better at piano than guitar. IFunny that piano seems easier for me than guitars although i love playing guitar more.
Great video Brian
Thank you !
Keep the piano lessons coming
I really like how you explain this stuff Brian, thanks for the effort mate
Cool Brian, you're right on time! I pulled out my keyboard a few days ago to start playing it again to broaden my music vocabulary along with my guitar and here you are! Awesome! And you play the keys pretty good! Your channel is awesome, Thank you.
Thank you,I keep coming back to this lesson, it's so helpful cheers
Hi Brian definitely keep the piano up with the guitar can we have more guitar relative to the piano scenario I need all the help I can get plus it helps to memorise the notes on the fretboard great lesson Alfred Sibbons
Really nice! Your Wheel of 5ths was eye opening and this is as well. Thank You.
Many thanks learned a lot even turned the lightbulb off afterwards thanks again.
Brian Kelly, you are a mighty man at the music. This was great. I have a keyboard in the house this long time and not a clue what to do with it until now. Thanks.
Loved the piano and guitar comparison. Mind expanding. Dean.
Awesome lesson thanks for posting and yes would love to see more like it 👍👍👍
I just got a midi keyboard and this is really helpful
I tell all aspiring guitarists to take a month and learn your basics of piano. Like guitar it has its ‘shapes’ but as a theory tool it is much easier.
It also gets us thinking horizontally as a guitarist.
ive been meaning to do thiis for ages, thanks for reinspiring me! amazing lesson as always mate..
hope you do more. this is important stuff to groove to..totally will help make the connections. tip of the hat to the circle of 5ths
Brian, great job bringing it together for me! Now I understand!
I noticed I could kind of see the fretboard much easier after starting to learn the piano this video helped me piece it together a little more thanks!
I bought a keyboard 2 weeks ago to try and work this one out, good you are blending the two instruments here.
Yeah that was awesome man. It would be good to learn about 4 part writing and how it relates from piano to guitar.
I wish he created a guitar for all program.
I’ve been studying guitar and piano simultaneously also. A couple of points to expand on:
1) The piano is essentially a visualization of the C Major scale. All black keys represent Whole step intervals (wwh-wwwh), which is why there are two black and then three black keys. [yeah it makes it as confusing as heck to think about all the other Keys, but beginners need to think in C!]

Very good points!!
More PLEASE! Thank you Brian
Yes definitely more of these videos mate! Very helpful
Yes please do more of these videos with piano comparisons ;)
I can not explain how much your lead guitar road map helped me I found yours was that , and that really changed stuck in a same place life !!! And since then I watched many if your videos !!!
But mate !!! Why you don't have any playlist on your channel it's really hard to find videos on a particular series like , music theory , mastering leads , chord tones etc !!!
Take Love ❤️❤️❤️
And yeah !!! This is a guitar channel and we are guitar lovers , but at the end of the day we are music lovers !!!
So without any hesitation do this kind of video more !!!
Thanks man! Glad you like the vids 😀.
The playlist is my website, Zombie Guitar. It's much better than RUclips, so I always direct everyone there 😀

Glad to hear it Clark. Thanks so much for following along!! 😀
Learned more in 10 minutes with him than in the three weeks at the music studio
You are the BEST. Thank you so much!!
Yes! Thank you! I'm going to pass this on.
Thanks a lot. Appretiated. Why not to mention at least once that there are not only two M&m "perspectives" but seven perspectives. Without mentioning this a beginner will learn that there are only two. Thx
Very true. I didn't want to get into modes in this video, but I definitely will in an upcoming vid!
great lesson Brian! Presse more of these! very good
A perfectly thrown change up!
YES!! Do more with the piano, please.
Love the visuals on this. Super helpful
Hey Brian great explaining the only thing I missed is the every other note method?. Do you have a video for that. Thanks

Great lesson - make so much sense. Keep it going
a brilliant video again. thanx budy
You gaming on that pc? Looks like a gigabyte Nvidia card?
I'm not really into gaming personally, but I did build this PC. I do a lot of video editing and recording, so I wanted a powerful computer. This one definitely does the trick!!
Hey Brian , seen you comment on ,Ted Nugents Spirit of Campfire .. . It looked like you wanted to JAM with Nugent. That would work and cool.
If so , glad your on board.. Rock n Roll Zombie !!!
Haha I think that may be a different Brian Kelly 😀
Bri , it was from zombie guitar. But my guess , not you. But ya , funny !
OMG, I can't believe that I've been playing for this long and your explanation of exactly what a diminished 7th Chord is FINALLY makes sense to me. Love your videos!
Awesome! Glad you liked the vid 😀.
Keep in mind that I just showed triads in this video though. So what you saw was just a "diminished triad", not a fully diminished chord, which contains 4 notes in total..just to clarify!
@@zombieguitar Yes, thanks for that clarification. But getting this first step down will help me understand the diminished. I have just basically been ignoring it because I didn't have a good grasp of "what it is". Now with the understanding of how the triad is formed, I can build on that. I appreciate your straightforward "cut to the core" style. For me it is very useful.
Yeah , make more of this kind of videos
Thanks Brian,that was interesting.👍
Very good comparing one to the other.
Super helpful more please Jerome
