I’m a damn guitarist Jack and I loved this. After the last one I actually tried playing what you taught on our home piano which before this only my daughter played. She is pretty good and actually said ‘Dad - I didn’t ever realise you could play!’ Fantastic and I’m gonna practice what you taught today and hopefully impress her more. Thank you - so inspiring. Keep them coming! Just need to know to switch to D and G now!!
I've always been a fan of alternating the 9 and the 4. One of the best examples was that cheesy gospel version of Joyful Joyful in the movie Sister Act although, it's in C# which is even easier!
I’m a guitarist who joined a band as a keys player (with no experience) a few months back, so these videos are super helpful to me. Thanks, looking forward to the next one!
This is so awesome , Jack! Thanks for putting these types of videos up - I know a lot of people like me want to learn some of your tasty (dodgy) pentatonic licks ! Keep it up
Wow, that's so cool cos I've been using similar stuff (e.g. bass C with an upper reg. waterfall D-A-B-E etc) so I was curious where you'll take it and you also you gave some nice context. Cos lets face it: classic triad stacks suck! (unless you're writing kindergarten themes - ok, I'm being a little extreme for effect...)
So... Jack...it's a C9...without 3,5, or 7. That is why any note works well with it. You have two more notes to go (for 11,13). The G in an octave helps those other notes to establish this tonality. The arpeggio...just allows the C major overtones to be heard in clearer manner. Nice video.
To jazz it up rather than use a regular major trichord I 7 it, play it from the 7th and move the root one step. So for C I use Bb D E G with C in the bass. In G it sounds great for some odd reason. Over G play F A B D. For a nice ending chord in C play G major over C octave.
OK. You're playing C2 in the root inversion adding a lower G. But how do we show this inversion on a chord chart? My method is C(2)5 or perhaps C(2)5/G. Just saying.
Theoretically, it's also a Gsus4, but it doesn't matter. Leave out the 3rd and a triadic chord turns ambiguous, really those notes could be any C or G chord. Just for the sake of pedantry: +C minor is present in the keys of Bb, Ab, and Eb. +C major is present in the keys of F, C, and G. +G major is present in D. My goodness, just look at all the places you can go with that "Csus2" and still sound like you know what you're doing. 7 keys! That's more than half of them and they're all right next to each other on the wheel! It's a bloody miracle chameleon! But just knowing that doesn't tell us anything about what to play next. Where do you go after Csus2 or Gsus4? Where did you come from to get there in the first place? Apparently, a little over half of anywhere. Yes, it's helpful to give names and definitions to things you already innately understand, but learning the theory without first listening to and transcribing / playing by ear a lot of music that employs those things is like trying to read a dictionary for a foreign language. Just starting out, everyone learns to speak first before they analyze what they're saying. Linguistic analysis didn't exist before language, and it's not like the endless volumes of theory texts and "how to" music manuals existed before anyone tried to play anything either. Start where it matters - by listening and playing. Worry about the pedantry and academic wank later.

Jack please make this a series.Your way of teaching is very easy to follow
You should make a playlist of all your teaching videos. They're great!!

Jack, thank you. I’ve been avoiding piano for so long now I find a lesson from a reviewer I’ve watched a thousand times…Great! I’m on it!
Jack you're a genius!! Please make sure to make more tutorials like this one in the future.
What a bloody legend Jack is. Please keep these coming!

Bloody lovely!! I do wish I grabbed an FP30 before lockdown so I can dedicate time to learning.
Teach us some of your song styles that you play when you Demo new keyboards. That would be great if you could break them down 🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹 for us
I’m a guitarist who joined a band as a keys player (with no experience) a few months back, so these videos are super helpful to me. Thanks, looking forward to the next one!
Love how you change totally change the chord’s feeling by the bass note. Tight work here Jack!
Nice work!
Your absolute genius ! seriously you give us secrets! you give us life ! keep dat coming mr jack and his team :D
Thanks Jack!
That’s sweet, I appreciate The teaching
Nice teachings, guru Jack.
This is so awesome , Jack! Thanks for putting these types of videos up - I know a lot of people like me want to learn some of your tasty (dodgy) pentatonic licks ! Keep it up
Again, you're a great teacher. Thanks. :-)
Sweet! Thanks for the tips Jack, this guitarist appreciated the kb help!
Wow, that's so cool cos I've been using similar stuff (e.g. bass C with an upper reg. waterfall D-A-B-E etc) so I was curious where you'll take it and you also you gave some nice context.

This is a great nugget and your way of teaching is ideal. Thanks so much.
Lovely work again Jack
Thanks Jack! You actually made 3 years of music theory almost seem worth it😂...can you do more please? Cool!
That was bloody brilliant.
Yeaaaassss... this video blew my mind!! I'm off to the keyboard immediately.
Thanks Jack!
More videos like this 🤩🤩🤩
Thank You Jack. I would love more of this in the future :-)
Thanks, Jack - I'm now a drummer who sounds like he can play keys! Please teach us more ways to sound amazing! :)
bravo, jack
AMAZING LESSON MAN!

Jack has made me want to learn to play piano. Can't think of a better teacher.
More please! :)
based Jack.
Great videos!!!!!!!!! 🎵🎶

Thanks for the new lesson senpai
Amazing! Thanks for another great lesson Jack! On to the homework then :D
Hi Jack. Sorry if I offended you with my last comment. Wasn't interested. Love your videos. Keep it up and happy New year. X
C is becoming my favourite key on piano, lol.
OK. You're playing C2 in the root inversion adding a lower G. But how do we show this inversion on a chord chart? My method is C(2)5 or perhaps C(2)5/G. Just saying.
Its only Csus2. For more check Rick Beato's video about pop chords.
Theoretically, it's also a Gsus4, but it doesn't matter.
Leave out the 3rd and a triadic chord turns ambiguous, really those notes could be any C or G chord.
Just for the sake of pedantry:
+C minor is present in the keys of Bb, Ab, and Eb.
+C major is present in the keys of F, C, and G.
+G major is present in D.
My goodness, just look at all the places you can go with that "Csus2" and still sound like you know what you're doing. 7 keys! That's more than half of them and they're all right next to each other on the wheel! It's a bloody miracle chameleon!

Ha! First thing I thought watching the first video was, "sounds like that Bruce Hornsby dude".
I may interval a new one for you in the near future :) ;)
