Wow, that's awesome Floyyd, glad to hear it!

Alright it’s been 12 years! Please give us part 3 for free. I just turned a dusty keyboard into a playable instrument within 25 minutes! These lessons are incredible. Never seen it simplified so coherently like that! Numbering system kicks major ass

I'm really glad to hear that... And when musicians I'm performing with tell each other what chords to play, they use numbers to describe it, not notes, so it makes sense to understand the numbers from the get-go because it's more logical and (in my opinion) less confusing because you can apply the same rules to any key. (Also, when it's loud on stage, yelling "E !", D !", "B !" C !" "G!" all pretty much sounds like "E !", so in that way too, numbers are better. :-)

At the bottom of one of the video's thumbnails, it says that you can easily build chords by simply using the 5, 2 and 1 fingers on the left hand. That's an excellent tip that I don't think was mentioned within the video. You can further simplify by forming and rolling your chords off the bass note (at interval 1) by playing 1-5-8-10 interval above the bass note (using only my 5, 2 and 1 fingers on the left hand) when improvising a song on piano.

To you I am indebted for life for showing me how to play the piano instantly. I am a guitarist, and would never have touched a piano but for your video. God bless you!

Thank you...this made learning chords and scales really easy. Keep up the good work...Looking Forward!!

I have stopped playing piano for like 8 or 9 years now due to exams and family issues and never could go back and right as I was feeling very down I went back to piano and it made me feel so good but also I felt clueless because my knowledge was like half there and half not and that made me feel like maybe music is not for me or maybe I just can't learn it but now that I am watching this it makes me feel like I can go back to it

I literally thank God for this and I do hope that you will continue making more videos because I'm longing to learn. You are great!

Very interesting. I started piano lessons one month ago and this has simplified a whole lot for me. I'm excited because it's actually working for me. Thank you lots

wow, this is much better than how i learned to play years ago, which i forgot because it was all just weird memorization. this makes alot more sense.

Thanks so much! I took piano lessons for years and now can hardly play anything besides the classical stuff that is still memorized. Looking forward to picking it up again and thanks a lot for a great way of explaining it!

Great job. Please keep teaching the whole world. You said you are not a piano teacher. You are a GREAT PIANO TEACHER. And a good musician. Thank you for teaching me and the world.

This is amazing I learned so much from just the two videos you posted. I wonder how much I'll learn on your website.

I've been learning piano for two days (this is day two) and with this guy's help from the last video, I can play my entire 61 key keyboard forwards and backwards with both hands (one hand at a time, messing up a bit of course.. but only for now), and can almost do it without ever looking. I say everything out loud when I touch a key for extra help but this guy REALLY helps. I'm looking forward to this next video. Pretty much writing this b/c damn.. what a helpful video ya know? Also, @XxRGFxX, if someone says play this chord, you just count your fingers (unless you've done it enough to memorize where the hand is supposed to be) and bang. you just played the chord. *Edit* I also placed tape on my keys to help memorize which ones are which

Great to see an online lesson like this. I've seen many that never bother to teach things the musicians think about them. The great thing about the number system also is that you learn about how chords function within the music (i.e. how they relate to each other). You just can't do that learning chord by their letter names.

You just simplify it....You are the real deal! Thanks for uploading this.

this is just what i've beem looking for, i hope you make more

You have opened up my mind to seeing the piano a different way. I was really confused about transposing songs and the way to break it down it makes so much more sense

I found your videos really interesting and helpful. Your idea about learning piano by the "number system" is fascinating. I love how you were able to just switch keys and play the song in any keys just because you learned the numbers or the chords. Brilliant.

This is my First time I got all the notes. Thank you! This is way more easier than piano lessons I've watched

This is amazing. Thanks for sharing.

omg I love you. I always learn something new from your videos. goodbye letter system hello number system!!!! great video :)))))

I really do believe I got it! Dont have a piano at home but I will try this out when I have one in front of me. So to be able to do this you need to know what major chords are, right? And lets say you are starting at A major, then you have your right hand placed on A, C# and E right? A is number 1, C# is number 3 and E is number five right? And to play that song you are playing in the video you are also playing on the 4th key which is a D. And when you have played that one you place number 1 finger on the 4th and all the other fingers follows but the only difference is that there are other keys? Please tell me I got it right lol

Yeah. In Twist and shout, that Major scale rule of half step from 3-4 and 7-8 has to be kept in mind to understand how he found the 3 chords in A scale when he changed from it from C scale. He changed the song chords from C, F and G (1,4 and 5 using numbering system) in the C scale to chords A, D and E (which is the 1, 4 and 5 keys in A major scale) to play that song in A scale. But as the video progressed towards the end and he started playing the keys as a master, I couldn't keep up and make any sense as it was too fast and way advanced for me who knows nothing beyond names of Keys 😅. But what I do not understand is this, If a song uses both major and minor chords how will you number the chords and in which scale will the numbering be done (because numbering is done on either the major or minor scale, can't mix both right?) some knowledgeable person, please enlighten. 🙏

The "number" relationship between different related notes and chords exists whether you take the time to observe them or not, they're the "skeleton" that holds everything together.

yea, "numbers" or "letters" its the same principle mainly, even though i know all the chords, notes, etc. i taught myself to compose mores on the number method. it came natural. doing it from a math standpoint makes the creation of melodies easier to put together. If you had been exposed to numbers first then suggested letter instead, probably would be the same shock to the system.

@allanjeong

6 жыл бұрын

Numbers and intervals are particularly useful (as mentioned in the video) because it enables one to play a song in any key based solely on the note intervals between the melodic notes, and between the melodic note and bass note play on (or sometimes after) the main down beats. For example: Play BASS note at 1, 3 or 5 intervals (plus 1 octave) BELOW melodic note played on (sometimes after) down beat with left-hand pinky. More often than not, play bass note at 1 or 5th interval below the melodic note for melodic note I, 5 for II, 3 for III, 1 for IV, 5 for V, 3 for VI, 3 for VII. Why is it useful to play a song in any key? 1) a singer might request the song be played in a key to match his/her vocal range (as mentioned in the video); and 2) one can't possibly remember the original key signature for every recorded song in existence when performing a song on the spot or by request. I will sometimes play a specific song in one key one day, and play it again in another key on another day without much thought.

Well counting definitely is something everyone should learn but it doesn't cross instrument lines like learning the 7 major key cords and the sharp and flat rules for each of the12 keys. Ceg the c major cord is the same on the guitar or piano. I did study this method intently and appreciate the usefulnless of it for a keyboardist. I was able to play the 12 scales on the guitar because I learn them on piano. By the way Johnny B Gooden was awesome.

to be honest wouldn't it be wiser to teach people chords not numbers??? because your having people memorize numbers not notes so when they are going to read music or told to play so and so chords or notes they are going to be lost because you brainwashed them with numbers lol like im on beginner status with piano and learned chords/notes and your whole numbering system messed with my head lol it totally makes sense but in reality nobody is going to ask you to play numbers but great tutorial tho
