Very nicely done! How long do you think it takes to get comfortable and know all the chords and inversions? Major, minor, 7th? Thanks again for your time!!
Oh my goodness--it can take years to really digest the information. I'm still working on my jazz chords and I have been doing piano my whole life. But I would learn the chords in this order: Major 3 note chords, Minor 3 note chords, Diminished 3 note chords, Augmented 3 note chords, Dominant 7 chords, Fully Diminished chords, Half Diminished chords, Major 7th chords, minor/major 7th chords, and then the jazz extensions and other types of chords. I am going to do a simple video soon on the basics differences of the first 4 chords I mentioned. Be on the lookout!
@@OlympiaPiano I fail to find the benefit of different fingerings on your video. I feel the thumb should start on the G note regardless of inversion you're playing.
@@OlympiaPiano OK I can't wait, I'm really looking for one in particular. I want to start working on all of them using the circle of 5ths right away 😅. I just want make sure I'm using the fingers and techniques. Thank you for creating this channel.
If I had to choice, I would say the flats/sharps dominant 7 chords because that's usually where the fingers used are unfamiliar for me, personally but I don't mind D7 being next.
Great explanation of the chord structure and fingerings! I have a specific question about the left hand at the ascending 2nd octave with the 4 finger (3rd) over the thumb (root). I struggle with that crossover and its very hard to play that legato, and I have smaller size hands which doesn’t help either. My right hand descending has no problem with 4-1 crossover. If you could tell me a good way to strengthen that position I would be very grateful. And thank you for the wonderful teaching you use in your videos.
First of all great job taking the time to work on these arpeggios which are not easy for anyone! My hands are pretty big and I still practice these a lot. So if I am understanding you correctly, you are struggling with the first cross over ascending in root position so fingers 2 (F) 1 (G) and 4 (B). If this is is the case, start by first practicing those three notes in isolation and try to pivot over the thumb. Let your thumb just kind of be on the side and notice where on the key fingers 2 and 4 are playing--finger 2 might be further in the key where 4 might be closer to the edge of the key. Let me know if this helps. It is very natural for things to feel stronger with one hand, especially if the RH is the dominant hand.
great tutorial！very helpful， thank you！
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching--I am going to do more Dominant 7 arpeggios soon so check back soon! Best wishes
Nice Jenni 👍
Thanks! More coming soon.....Appreciate your support

@@OlympiaPiano Well, that wasn't what I was wanting to hear! Lol :( Thanks for the info - now time to get busy! :)
beautiful ☺️

@@fastscales Every pianist is different--thanks for considering. Glad the G staring point works for you.
Great , glad I found this channel. Is there videos on this for the other keys?
I will be doing them. Is there a specific dominant 7 arpeggio you are looking for? I usually do them in order of circle of 5ths so D will be next.

Which one in particular?

Hope that the strategy is working!
