      Fingering
      Where I'm getting confused is the fingering on this for the left hand. You say it's the same but I don't see how on the left hand. I am referring to which finger on the keys not the keys themselves

      @@williamjones3534 I'm new to piano but it looks to me like, if you are using your thumb, middle finger, and pinkie on your right hand for a cord, you will use the same fingers on your left hand for the same cord. The difference is, for instance, if your thumb on your right hand is on the key of E, it will be your pinkie on your left hand that will be on the other key of E. The same keys but opposite finger configuration on each hand for the pinkie and thumb.

    Don't sleep on this tutorial! A little theory for the beginners: what Jazer is doing is taking the G major scale and utilizing the very popular I / IV / V / vi chord progression. So G major is your I chord. C major the IV chord. D major the V chord. E minor the vi chord. And he's playing them in vi / IV / I / V order. You can apply this concept to every single key. For example in C Major instead of G major you could play this with A minor (vi) F major (IV) C major (I) G Major (V) applying the same inversion patterns. You can do this with every single key for a beautiful sound. Try the C scale for a slightly easier version or perhaps B flat scale for more complexity. Or whatever you want. Phenomenal exercise that will remain relevant for all levels of learning. S+ tutorial.

    • @vidmaster7
      @vidmaster7 2 года назад +6

      @@KeeperOfDr3ams Hi. I would start with learning and playing basic chords in the key of C. The key of C is made up of all white notes. Start on Middle C which is roughly half way in the middle of a piano and the key just before two black keys close together. The first note is C, then D, E, F, G, A, B, and C an octave higher. These are all played on the white keys. A chord (or triad) is built by playing the first, third, and fifth notes. In this example, you would play C-E-G. Play the C with your right thumb, the E with your second finger, and the G with your fourth finger (different opinions about this but it's a place to start). Then try playing them one-at-a-time instead of all at the same time. That should get you started. I hope that helps.

    Jazer, I live in Maceió, Brazil. I have dual nationality (English / Brazilian.) I had a really bad piano teacher at school (I studied at a Public school in England), which is why I stopped having classes. Your tips have improved my playing and inspired me beyond imagination. I´m almost 77 and I am going to go back to having piano classes. (My family have longevity) ... At 77 I am really fit and go in for road runs, sailing, flying aircraft and parachuting ... I work a lot because I founded an English language school to teach Brazilians English, all classes online. I´ve written the methodology and I franchise the system to other teachers. but my main aim is to improve on the piano. (I took advantage of the pandemic to improve on the piano ... I rose from abominably bad to just plain bad!! Lol! ... The exercises for chords in this video are simple but very effective. Please don´t stop! ... Thanks for everything!

    Jazer; you're a good teacher. A couple hours with this and I've got it. I thought your youtube audience might enjoy this poem about learning the piano.
    I have ten fingers.
    The piano has…really…
    twelve notes plus octaves therefrom.
    I tell my fingers
    each day
    “land somewhere new. Somewhere
    you’ve never been. If it sounds good
    then lead me forward. If it does not.
    We go again.
    Ten fingers. Twelve notes and octaves.
    Fingers: spread yourselves newly. Knuckle middle finger
    rise a bit. Good.
    Now…listen. OK?
    send five left fingers to the lowest octave
    teach them where they belong
    repeat the patterns repeat the patterns
    bring the fingers back up
    then throw them like dice
    at the keyboard let them fly
    repeat the patterns again
    repeat the patterns: over time
    my fingers know things, acquire sense and pitch
    before my ears know
    before my brain knows
    my fingers know.
    And, strange as it may sound, always listen to your fingers.

    Thank you so much my lovely … love how beautiful they all sounded. This gave me something to practise 🙌🏼
    I’ll admit I stumbled upon chord progressions when I went back to my keyboard after a 20 yr break last year.
    All I could remember was the C,D and G chords as well as some of the 12 bar blues so I was just having a bit of a play round and found (later upon watching one of your videos) that I was practising chord progressions.
