Agreed. It's a potato/potato situation (imagine I said that two different ways). I'm a rank amateur but I know enough to recognize that it can be a sus2 or an add9. Calling a "Transformed 1st" doesn't diminish the value of this video. It's gonna help me for sure.

So the short version: Play a sus2 in the right hand, and play octaves or fifths in the left. As long as you're in the same key, it will sound good. Just so everyone knows, that transformed chord is actually a sus2 chord.

same here. I haven't jammed or improvised so all what i can do is play pieces by myself. My friends and my dad's friends are jamming and I wanna be able to join in.

I hate all the technical theory B.S. being bantered around in this comment section, obviously by a bunch of know-it-alls that didn't learn a thing from this video. Okay, it's a suspended chord but the actual name makes no difference in relation to the lesson he's teaching. Improvisation is a "feel" and visual-pattern sort of thing. He says to "Play a major chord and replace the 3rd with the 2nd" and no matter who you are or what training you may have, it is easy to understand and easy to do. Using the same chord with the right hand and improvising on that basic chord by simply changing the bass note is not common knowledge for most piano players. In that regard, the overall lesson here is much broader than what he can fully explain. You can perform this technique with just about any chord but this lesson is much better because he uses a chord that creates tension and tension always sounds great in improvisation and as filler in accompaniments. This little trick is a staple of the Bruce Hornsby style and many others as well. It includes a decent (yet basic) understanding of the theory that anyone can immediately grasp and shows a lot of real-time examples how to easily invert the chord and sound like a million bucks almost immediately. I'm sending all my students to this link to check it out. Good video. Really good!

+Milan Maru, perhaps but I think you might be hard pressed to name five, or if you can do that, convince me that those no-theory musicians are actually telling the truth about what they really know. I believe that Irving Berlin was a natural tunesmith without much need for theoretical knowledge. However, Paul McCartney (who is often cited as not being a theory-wise musician) definitely understands what he's doing. IMO no one can learn to play piano as well as McCartney without understanding music from a higher level. My experience reading, hearing and playing a tremendous amount of music reflects that the best progressions, modulations and melodies are created by composers that are seasoned pros that unmistakably understand the theoretical art form better than kick-around hacks.

+DontYaTalkSIlly Maybe not what "sounds" good perhaps but understanding theory in many ways puts a good argument in your head exactly WHY it sounds good. People not formally trained sometimes believe a myth that learning theory will stunt they're already natural abilities but in my experience that's not true. I'm mostly a self-taught, play-by-ear musician that learned quickly that as my play-by-ear skills improved, likewise my ability to read music, memorize it and understand it better improved as well. Music theory is a simple mathematical science that gives order to an infinite universe of musical options. When you understand the science, everything makes a lot more sense.

You have sparked my interest and kept the flame going inside me. I also found if you take the 7 and the 4 cord and play a riff going down the piano using a few inversions it has a weird but satisfying sound. Thank you for emplimenting your knowledge to the music community. I greatly appreciate your time and effort in 2019.

Now I can focus more on developing the ability to more quickly recognize progressions by ear as I play by ear.

Hi Asit! I'm sounding didactic but wish you wouldn't say that so to speak. I feel that if one is so moved as you by piano music that you can make great sounds with this amazing instrument because of your sensitivity and ear and what I feel could be an innate talent too. Maybe you're not playing major classical works etc but the piano and its sounds are therapeutic. I really like acoustic pianos more than digital. If you have room where you live maybe first get a small piano, then maybe after a year get a grand piano. Sometimes, I've heard, some people have given their grand pianos away because they are so hard to move and cost a lot to move. I'm 63 and might part with my few material things and hit the road and be a globe trotting darma bum, yet if I were not to do that maybe I'd make an "aircrete" dome off the grid. I'd then have my acoustic piano moved from where I store it with relatives. It's a very nice small "spinnet" and weighs 298 pounds and can and have hired weight lifters to move it as really all they would carry is 149lbs each. Maybe at first you should get a spinnet. Carpe Diem!

You have a kind of sensitivity to what you are exposed to and translate that into positives for your own life and that's profound! Thanks too for your advice. I don't have a lot of material things to part with and maybe next spring I'll leave. I'm thinking of buying maybe an old boat cheap and float a few weeks down the Amazon River and stop to buy food in villages on the way, but have enough room for provisions. I think I could buy a boat in Peru maybe for a low cost and just resell it or give it to a needy person. I'll miss piano, but that's the way it is. Maybe in Santiago or Buenos Aires go online and get a on way ticket somewhere cheap, or if I could get on some boat somehow. I know once I'm in Indonesia I want to go on one of those old traditional sailing rigs the natives use and maybe go island to island for a while. I have to go cheap on only $683 a month Social Security. Imagine, vaccinations I'll need can cost $1,000! That can effect my time of departure.

hI! That's great you are going to seek a niche in the greater design of "modern" life and have a profession. I went to university many years and kept changing my major and ended up working 101 jobs all my life at minimum wage or lower and ruined my back. I think you have many adventures ahead with such a profession. One of my goals was to be an oceanographer. My nephew took a highly rated scuba diving course down in the Keys of Florida and got certification and also with underwater photography. He got a job in Maui in Hawaii working for a scuba diving tourist business there but didn't like their poor safety precautions and quit. He stayed and worked as a security guard and scuba dived, but then returned to US to finish his degree. He then went into Dept of Fisheries or specialized in fish somehow and was assigned for several months to observe fish in a mountain river in Idaho. He was with I think US Fisheries also in Wyoming for several months too. Now he is an "observer" aboard a big floating fish factory in the Bearing Sea off Alaska (at times in high seas it's a dangerous job and had a few close calls with waves washing over the ship deck) and next assignment is off west coast of Europe I think and with US Fisheries. He's had more adventure and paid for it than most do in a lifetime, and all within only 2 yrs after graduating! I didn't focus and sounds like you are, so doing the right thing! I'll only have $683 a month to travel on too. I might decide to live in a place if I like it. I love the sea and also "flight" watching various sea birds in flight, and ships, and sea life in general and will probably stay at times at various sea ports. You have a great plan and staying focused is the key. The sooner you know your major the sooner you get out, although I liked higher education better than high school, yet even in college it can be daunting at times and feeling confined, yet happiness comes from within and one can be happy anywhere, any age. Carpe Diem!

Very cool way to explain using "transformed" chords. I've never heard it described that way. You might want to say it is also called the ninth of the key or chord. I am trying to learn to improvise and this really helped me.

Wow awesome! So glad I found your lesson and I have to say, it's awesome to know you're playing for church as well! Good job!

This is, I believe ( from several years of piano lessons way back) a much nicer way to keep practicing scales -after practicing your scales of course!- while staying truly connected to the exercise, because of the melodic, and creative, elements added to it. Bravo, you a a brilliant educator!

thank you so much for this, I’ve never understood this type of stuff with theory but you made me understand it very well

Very well done tutorial. This technique is so simple, yet so effective. You are brilliant. Your pacing and explanation makes it easy to comprehend, so thank you.

So true

This video made an amazing difference in a whole new understanding of piano. Thanks man, this is awesome. Always been difficult for me to understand piano because I alwaysed played by ear, this helps alot even with that so thank you

You are a wonderful piano teacher! Beautiful sound. Thank you so much. Love it 😍

you know my brotha, the greatest of teachers are not the ones who know the most about what ever subject, but the ones who can deliver it in a way and make it intriguing enough that the student retains the information, I only had 1 in all my years, well tutorials online are much like that in a sense to where, out of all the options on a particular field of interest there are on youtube, one has to sorta SIFT through the many videos till he finds one that resonates with him or herself, that being said theres allways a coupled good ones amongst the piles of trash, YOU my friend are one of the good ones, you have a gift for teaching, so great video, im add like a son of a gun, so it takes a great teacher for this hands on learner to grasp a video on a perticular concept. is it jjust piano or do you carry that gift with you and apply it elsewhere in your life, if not, think about it cuz that's a power, the power to get through to a person such as myself, not an easy task. YOURs and like 4 other vids on piano and music theory has changed the game up for me like crazy, I play by heart and head, but now its coming together faster and faster cuz im starting to understand it more and more and its becoming easier or more soulful or flavorful sol to speak, ill shut up now. NICE vid.

WOW! What an incredible comment to read. Thank you for taking time to encourage me brother! I do this for a living now full time as of 3 years ago (I had a Civil Engineering Career for 4 years before KZread and selling online courses)... What is your end goal with piano? :)

Great stuff! So easy and sounds so great. Question: is it the same for minor chords?

OH MY GOD! I am excited!

FABULOUS TUTORIAL AND IT REALLY WORKS! Beautifully explained!

Interesting. Makes everything sound like a Bruce Hornsby track!

also, some questions I've been wanting an answer for a long time: what do you use to add all the extra stuff on the video. ex. the digital piano at the top of the vid, what program would you use for that and does it involve midi?

Always set the mood

The most beautiful style I have ever heard someone play.

Its not a "C transformed chord" but a Csus2 chord instead.

+panzerdriver Correct. If he used proper chord name and then proceeded to make out all of its keys, people would have learnt it and at the same time learned what a suspended chord is. Right now new users think there is something called a "transformed" chord. Im not sure that is appropriate for beginner piano players.

+luckiest charm It's NOT a Csus2; it's a C2. He would have had to put an F in the chord to make a sus.

+MrAiredales Its a Csus2. C D G where middle note E is suspended and instead the 2nd note of scale is added, thats a D. That makes it a Csus2 chord. If he used F instead of D, it would be a sus4 chord instead.

+MrAiredales if u add an F its a Csus4 chord. "sus" is short for "suspended" which means the 3rd of a chord is replaced w/either the 2nd or the 4th. when u replace it w/a 2nd its called a sus2 chord (ie root-3rd-5th becomes root-2nd-5th). when u replace it w/a 4th its called a sus4 chord (ie root-3rd-5th becomes root-4th-5th). so this is actually a Csus2.

You're a legend. You play great. Well done. I would be happy to know just 20 percent of what you know.
