Nice!

[@BirdsPianoAcademy]

Thanks!

[@yurkinsongromov7998]

Many thanks! But why do you not use all 4 notes for C7 and F7. Only 3 notes in first part of lesson?

[@BirdsPianoAcademy]

Hi. Good question. I took out the 5th in each to get away from the standard block chord, and also because 5ths don’t really effect the quality of the chords in question, unlike the root or 3rd for instance.

[@yurkinsongromov7998]

I see. OK)

Hi Arthur. Thanks for the great video! I was wondering what type of piano you are using. Is it a Yamaha Clavinova? It sounds very nice.

[@BirdsPianoAcademy]

It’s a hybrid, called a Yamaha NU1X. 🙌🏻🎹

[@eddies.1664]

Just saw an online sales demo on that model. Wonders never cease. Thank you!
