Does every chord have 2 scales mixed into it?

I've just bought myself a keyboard because I've wanting to play piano for so long. Everytime I hear a piano sound or someone playing piano I get excited by it's sound, weird but it's true. I'm in my sixties and I do enjoy your lesson. It's so much knowledge and you're such a patient teacher. Thank you. My reason for learning is to play worship songs. I love worshipping The Lord and I really want to sing and play lots of melodies for The Lord. God bless everyone watching this video. 🙏 for more knowledge and fast learning of new skills and techniques. 😊

Dude, I've learnt more about music an playing piano in an afternoon following through the video than I've learnt in the last 6 months since I've started this journey! Thanks so much for putting this together!

I'm 58 and a total newbie at piano , this video is the only one that actually makes sense to me. Thank you . I'm hooked.

I have watched a ton of YT videos for beginners.....i just got my new and 1st electric piano a Yamaha P-225. A Christmas present to my self but it just got here Dec 28th 2023.....Just found this YT video and I'm feeling encouraged.

Nothing feels better than a new keyboard! I started with a Williams Legato Iv which is a quality digital piano compared to its predecessors but returned it for a Yamaha PSR-EW310 arranger which is more my speed for needs. Because I didn’t have $750+ to drop on this

Wow, I am watching this 6 am on Christmas Day I have recently retired and have started to learn piano. I bought my keyboard three weeks ago, and in that time I have watched hundreds of videos on how to play. I’m so glad I found this one it is by far the best and easiest to follow. Thank you for taking the time to do this.

Hey Corey , I’m Kieran , about to have our 9th child , I love the piano , as a music producer using fruity loops, I’ve never really understood the piano,,, until this video , you’ll literally took the shackles from my feet, I’m now using progressive chords, scales and have a vast understanding. It was basically the way you explained it as nobody else ever did, what a legend, thankyou

​@CoreyLennox I just found your channel, and what that comment said, I totally agree. You have obviously thought a lot about how to teach this stuff in a modern way. It really works for me so far. Pretty sure I will take your course.

best teacher ever! first thing i did was take the note stickers off my keys and it was the best thing i ever did! thank you so much!

I'm a recent subscriber and am glad I found you! I'm 80 and have loved music all my life. However, I've never been able to find a way to express it. The way you teach has me excited that I may finally be able to make/play music. After watching a couple of your videos I can see what you've been talking about ..the similarities between songs....etc. Like I said, I'm excited!

Thanks for your tremendous lessons for beginners. I really enjoyed it, and I will be following up continues

Just watching thus video to when you show how to play a few major chords, I'm already picking up and singing different songs. This is literally the best learninh video out there.

Been making music for 2 decades and already learned a few things in the first 10min. Your approach to teaching this is the best I have come accross Cory. Liked and subbed.

I have watched KZread videos for 10 years on playing piano. This is the most insightful ONE video you will ever watch! I am ready to play now!! Thank you Corey. And I will check out your course!

I'm 65 years of age, and I had never been near a piano till 2 months ago. My favourite style inspirstion is blues and boogie woogie. So having retired with time to filI, I started looking at types of keyboards. I bit the bullet strsight away and brought a Roland digital fp 30. with fully weighted 88 keys. This was an expensive risk, but I didnt care. After just 2 months, I find I can already produce melodic patterns, including a basic blues bass riff, and now there is an inner desire to learn more. Then last week, after a lot of you tube surfing, I stumbled on this video. Its the perfect tool, Ive wstched it from start to finish a couple of times, and now I dip in at random on bits I think I need to work on. You see, I think a lot of people who self teach in this way become put off by the thousands of videos and methods out there, as they all concentrate on one aspect at a time. People get bored and they hop over to another video, and realisticslly its becsuse they cannot fathom how it all fits together to make them become the type of player that they yearn to be. In my view, this video suns up in one go how the keyboard works, and it gives you all the tools for the job straight away so you can decide for yourself where you need to go with your skills. To know how scales, keys and chord progressions work are all essential skills from the start. Im not really bothered about just learning tunes parrot fashion, as without the theory to back it up, that will be all you can play. Im already loving my new hobby, and wish id started years ago. This video is priceless. Well done.

so as far as being a great pianist? By going to Berekley, you're also a big brain.

This video has helped me immensely. Your instruction is simple and easy to follow. The practice prompts are timed in intervals that keep me engaged.

Thank you for a very concise class but oh boy 3 years before I’m ok, oh well I’m 76 and I’ve always wanted to play. You have a beautiful daughter!

Just bought a Yamaha EZ 300 keyboard to see if I can learn basic playing at 68 years old Patience and practice just hand movements scale practice and learning the major and minor Chords and key layout will be enough for a week or two less haste more progress,thank you for you excellent instruction if in 6 months I can play simple music I will be so happy thanks

❤ WOW I'm getting the difference the black and white keys have been confusing me. But now you're making everything discovered or no more Mistry. I can now spot any key on Piano keep making step bye step video like this ❤❤❤❤

@CoreyLannox I have no music background. My keyboard was gathering dust( on the cover :)) It just occurred to me why not give it a try! I played many KZread videos but I am sure this one is gonna do me good! Thanks.

Corey you are a great teacher. Walking us through step by step, making difficult concepts simple, making us feel confident, then humbling us to keep us on track (40:10 - 42:30) 😆 🤣

Thank you so much for explaining it so well! I have been searching for a good course on learning the piano & I thank The Lord for finding me The Best Instructor like you! God bless you

Im feeling inspired. There may still be hope for me yet. Have not really applied myself. Hoping to teach myself this year

I watched the video and at 49 aI finally going to start after all those years. I know it takes years of dedication, but I feel with these courses I bought I will be able to do it.

Have been playing the piano for 2 years but still learned quite a bit from your video!

I have been playing piano but never understood how to progress. I prayed to God to help me understand piano playing and wallah! .. He led me to this video… and I have watched so many videos but this video explains so much more. I love you for sharing this video. Thank you Sir.

This is brilliant and allows me to map out a learning path for myself. My brain needs to have the big picture and a map to understand what I need to practice and learn. I couldn’t cope with beginner methods as they don’t give me a sense of where I’m going with them. This video does! Thank you!

Thank you for this🙏

Thank you for your time ! I’ve learned a lot. As a beginner, I’ve expected the professional level already.

Man this finally made sense. I found another of your videos on music theory because I’m learning bass and out of all the videos and books I read you explained everything so well. That video lead me here and now I’m shopping for a keyboard lol. Thank you so much.

This is very exciting method. Thanks

It's good I found this video because I wanted to look for an actual and "engaging" discussion on piano playing basics (I've been wanting to learn how to play piano, it's just too bad I can't afford even the electric 61-key yet. I might have to wait until I have the budget). I just bookmarked this video so I can keep reviewing things until then. Your viewer from Philippines👋

Thank u so so mutch for ur music lesson I do enjoyed them❤🙏

I’m a really beginner and no nothing about piano and was getting frustrated by watching all these beginner videos and was about to sell my 1 years keyboard. I’m glad I ran across this video. I’m talking my stickers for sure now and just start over from here. I was told to buy this 88 keys weighted keyboard that will also help.

Hi Corey, this was a terrific and very informative video. I took piano lessons (twice) when I was young. I am now 62 and want to try taking lessons again. I am going to follow your lessons in this tutorial video and get the book you suggested. Where could I find lead sheets? They would be very helpful. I think I will sign up for your online lessons as well. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent. Your daughter is adorable 💝

I cannot tell you how many times your instruction has helped me just get comfortable in practicing. Some of your lessons I've been through dozens of times. Practice time, half an hour, what am I still very bad at? Okay, let's do that thing I can't do, there's a section of lesson just for that. After a few weeks, I can do it on my own, still struggling of course but I can and I've always been intimidated by music and instruments for the very reasons you describe. Didn't know the theory months ago. The real kicker for me is learning scales and like you get a sight picture using firearms, you can get a sight picture and then a feel picture for scales. That technique hugely helps in driving the scales into seemingly less the brain and more the muscle memory. Doing this has also really upped my melody and "music feel", I don't know what to call it, maybe ear. Perhaps intuition for what works and the emotion it creates. I'm so much faster at figuring out which notes sound like what because process of elimination. Find the scale and if you can, the key, roll with it until you feel that click. Those are your notes. Now figure out the rhythm. Biggest challenge among many is being comfortably ambidextrous and of course finger technique for consistency. Broken chord arpeggio is really really hard for me to do consistently. I can do it but not on the fly. But that's fine because it sounds good and feels rewarding once you "get it" at least for that little while before the conscious mind is like "hey, are you doing this right?" and that's when the whole rhythm and smoothness falls apart. Sometimes I wish I could shut the brain down and simply play but I guess just like karate, the only way to get passed that is more practice. So in an overly verbose form; thanks man. Your way of explaining this "clicks". I felt stupid at first but, I get it. I'm an old guy, not looking to go pro but yes, old people can learn new tricks with a method of learning that fits them.

I watch this video once a week. And, yes. I get more from it every time I watch it. I only practise on my day's off from work. Even though I should practice every day. That being said? I get more from this than all the books I've bought so far.
