If you think about learning how to read music fluently like learning how to read the English language fluently…there are patterns to memorize and steps to follow in order to get to the point that you can ACTUALLY read fluently.
And one of those important patterns and steps to master is CHORDS.
Chords are kind of like common sight words. They are ALL OVER THE PLACE.
And instead of trying to sound out every sight word every time you see it, at a certain point, you have to start recognizing them faster if you want to be able to read fluently and with any sort of speed.
When you can look at, recognize, and play chords quickly, you become more fluent and way faster at not only reading music, but playing with more accuracy and flow.
In today’s tutorial, I teach you 2 things that you can do to learn every chords, QUICKLY.
If you were to follow these 2 steps in the video starting today…by the end of this year you’d be a lot faster at reading music and recognizing chords quickly.

Yeah I've learned that method than memorising all chords, because I'm so weak on memorization
I don't think you said it but it seems for regular major and minor chords the 3rd note is a 5th or 7 half steps from the root. I wish you would consider a clip on mic so your voice does not get lost in the bright room ambience. Also it would keep your voice volume much more constant. Thanks for the content.

Billy Joel is an absolute master of chords & arpeggiating!!! For just some examples check out "She's Always a Woman to me" & "She's got a way"!!! I can honestly( pun intended 😂) go on & on about Billy Joel who is my favorite piano player!!! This was a great reminder about the fundamentals of chording!!! # Keep Inspiring Ashlee 🌟👏🙏👍🤘

I've seen this before in an older piano book. This is probably a common method of building chords from the root.

The formulas Summary C Major = Base Note + 4 + 3 Cm Minor = Base Note + 3 + 4 Cdim Diminished = Base Note + 3 + 3 Csus2 Sus2 = Base Note + 2 + 5 Csus4 Sus4 = Base Note + 5 + 2 C7 Dominant Seventh = Base Note + 4 + 3 + 3 (same as major chord + 3) C7maj Major Seventh = Base Note + 4 + 3 + 4 (same as major chord + 4) C7min Minor Seventh = Base Note + 3 + 4 + 3 (same as minor chord + 3) Fully diminished 7th = diminished chord + 3 Half diminished 7th = diminished chord + 4 Augmented = Base +4 + 4

One thing that I find very helpful is to learn the shape of a particular chord on the keyboard. So, if I want to play a C major triad in first inversion, I just play that shape. It's still important to learn the music theory, and to understand *why* that shape is a C major triad in first inversion. But when I'm playing, it's too complicated to work through the formal theory in real time, and it's much faster to just know the shape and play it. Of course, there are a lot of chords, and thus there are a lot of shapes to learn! This is a process that takes a long time, and I still haven't fully mastered it. But when I know the shape of a chord, then this is the fastest approach. Also, First!

Shapes also help with the jumps. If you know the shape of the chord you’re jumping to, you only have to aim your thumb and the rest of your fingers are aligned. Also there are a lot of chord types, but for major and minor triads there are less shapes than chords. C F G - same A D E - same Ab Db Eb - same Bb B F# - each unique

Why do all these piano posters say "quickly" or "fast" ? This is standard chord construction and it still requires putting in the time even if it's separate from knowing key your in.

Well, it’s much faster than spending years learning in depth music theory :) but yes, of course it still takes time. Although the more you do it the faster you’ll get.

Here's MY system, Ashlee: Major chords sound happy. Minor chords sound sad. Diminished chords sound scary. Augmented chords sound like a mildly disturbing dream. All the more complicated chords can be put off till tomorrow, or perhaps next week. 🍺🎹
