For those of you who wonder about C major being "G C E" and not "C E G": they're both C major chords. "C E G" is the root position, "G C E" is an inversion. One is not "simpler" or "better" than the other, and I chose to teach the "G C E" form because it fits in better with the other chords. If you want to learn more about chords, inversions and basic theory, check out my Piano Quickie series: kzread.info/head/PLP9cbwDiLzdKY0kV1hPE4zNosvz_Ur7wD

@iLavaRF they’re called inversions and it’s the same notes that make the chord, just in a different arrangement to make the chord sound a little different, maybe that will help you understand more too :)

Hey, might want to throw some tips here when I start playing piano with my teacher long time ago... Here's how to easily place your hands on the board for any chords... For Major Chords: Example for C Major (C, E, G) - You will realize that the distance between C and E notes is 3 tiles and between the E notes and G notes is 2 tiles. Basically every basic major chords they have a distance of 3 tiles between the first two notes and 2 tiles between for the last two notes. For Minor Chords: Example for C Minor (C, D#, G) Basically almost the same like major chords but this time the spaces between the tiles just get inverted... 2 tiles between the first two notes and 3 tiles for the last two notes. Hope this helps. Cheers.

I have this as a response to another comment, thought I would put it as its own comment: For those of you who are total beginners, and possibly confused or overloaded (no need to reat the whole thing, but the concepts work off of eachother as you read on), some basic theory is super useful: -SCALES (often used interchangeably with "key" even though they are slightly different things): -Before looking at chords, we should be looking at what a "scale" is. Scales will have 7 notes in them (with some rare exceptions). The first note (lowest pitch, furthest left on the keyboard), is referred to as the "tonic" or "root" and it will determine the name of the scale (e.g. C Major). The 8th note is referred to as the "ocave." The octave is the same note as the first, but an "octave" higher. -Ex: The key of C major are the notes C,D,E,F,G,A,B. It repeats on upward, starting at the next C. Each time it starts again at C, it is in the next "octave." It works the same way going downward (to the left) -You can also think of these 7 notes as numbers, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 (with 8 being the octave) Place your right thumb (for this beginner lesson, we're using ONLY the right hand) on the white key immediately to the left of two black keys. It doesn't matter which set of two black keys. This note is always a C. Now put each of your other fingers in order on the white keys following. Your fingers are now on C,D,E,F, and G (1,2,3,4,5) -- thumb, index, middle, ring, pinky Practice Exercise:s 1). Place your right hand as above, 1,2,3,4,5. Play up and down from thumb to pinky, then pinky and back: -1,2,3,4,5...5,4,3,2,1 (aka C,D,E,F,G...G,F,E,D,C). -This works best if you play with a metronome, starting at a slow tempo (60 bpm) and increasing it in increments of 5 or 10 each time you are 100% comfortable. 2). Now, with your hands starting in the same spot, we will play all 7 notes in the C Major scale (and the octave). You will play with your thumb, index, middle first (C,D,E, -- 1,2,3), but instead of using your ring to play the 4th note (F), you will cross your thumb underneath and use it instead. Your hand will now be shifted with your thumb on the 4th note (F), and your index, middle, ring, pinky fingers will now play the 4th,5th,6th, 7th, and 8th (octave), notes - aka F,G,A,B,C(octave). 3). Once you have the above down (practicing to a metronome as above will help you to advance in skill more quickly), you will be able to descend in reverse in a similar fashion You will start in the position you have ended on in the previous exercise. Pinky on C, descending C,B,A,G,F (8,7,6,5,4) -- pinky, ring, middle, index, thumb. Play all those notes in that order. To play the last 3 following notes, descending, you will now cross your middle finger over the top and play the next note down (E, 3rd note of the scale), followed with your index and thumb on D,C (2,1). -Now practice going back an forth between exercise 2). and 3). -Now onto CHORDS, Yay!! (in this case, triads, the most basic chord that consist of 3 notes): -Now with all the fingers on your right hand on 5 adjacents notes, starting with the C (immediately to the left of two black keys), Press down the key with your THUMB, MIDDLE, and PINKY. You are now playing a C chord (in this case, C Major or CM. We'll get to minor later). The name of the chord is based off of the lowest note (aka, the "root." The term "tonic" is not used for chords, only scales) -The notes you are pressing are also referred to as "1," "3," and "5," - you leave out the 2nd and 4th notes when playing a basic chord (also called a triad, because there are 3 notes) -This shape, [1,3,5,], [thumb, middle, pinky] works as a chord (triad), no matter where you start on the white keys. Wherever your thumb is determines what the chord is called (e.g. C Major). Again, we'll get to major/minor later. -In the video he plays a C chord, an F chord, and a G chord. (as he said, if you don't say major or minor, just the letter, it will be a major chord by default). -He is playing them in a more advanced way, called inversions (not important yet) -The simple way to play them would be to place your thumb on C, and use your thumb, middle, pinky on C,E,G (1,3,5). -Now for F, thumb on F (immediately left of the 3 black keys), and use thumb, middle, and pinky on F,A,C (1,3,5) -G: thumb on G, middle, and pinky on B,D (3,5) When he plays multiple chords in order like this, it often repeats, and is referred to as a CHORD PROGRESSION. Often times chords are referred to as numbers, written in roman numerals. In the case of the above progression, C,F,G, it would be referred to as a: I, IV, V progression, because C is the 1st note of the key, F is the 4th, and G is the 5th. No matter what octave you play each chord in, it would still be called a "I, IV, V" progression. -(a more advanced concept: in any major scale/key the chords go in order as: I,ii,iii,IV,V,vi,viio, with lower case being minor, and the "o" (which is supposed to be small superscript) meaning it is a diminished chord. This pattern is referred to as CHORD ORDER. -Now for INTERVALS! yay!: -Now we are going to add black keys into the mix. -if you play every key (including the black keys) you will end up with a pattern of 12 notes repeating the 13th being the octave. Moving one adjacent key up or down (right or left), INCLUDING black keys, you are creating a HALF STEP (aka semi-tone). If you move two keys adjacent (including black keys) it is a WHOLE STEP (aka whole tone). -All twelve notes, including the black keys, is referred to as "chromatic." Using C as a starting point, the chromatic scale looks like: -C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G# ,A , A#, B, and C (octave). The "#" symbol is referred to as "sharp" (not hashtag, ha). Which means one half-step or semi-tone higher (to the right on the keyboard). The sharps are the black keys. This can also be written as: -C, Db, D, Eb, E, F, Gb, G,Ab, A, Bb,B and C (octave). The "b" symbol is referred to as "flat" which means one half-step (aka semi-tone) lower (leftward). -Also can be thought of in numbers, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12, and 13(octave) -The notes B to C, and E to F, do not have a sharp (#) aka flat (b) because there is no black key between each pair. TBC!!!!

You can consider getting a digital piano instead. They are a lot less expensive than the acoustic pianos and you have many options to choose from depending on features and your budget. The nice thing is there don't need to be tuned and they never go out of tune. I would also consider buying second hand. Good luck! 😊

You probably have some experience and like to flex on them to feel superior

For all who are confused about the C major and F major chords: What he is playing is called an Inversion of a chord, which should come later. Not sure why this is the way it's being taught here A C major chord consists of three notes : C E G A C major chord in its root position is: C E G. (Starting with root note C. So if you start with the middle C, both E & G would be to the right of middle C) An Inversion to this would be the same notes but in different order ie G C E (If this Inversion is for a C chord at middle C, then E would be the right of middle C and G would be at the left of middle C), which is being played in this video

Also knowing where the C notes are will help me remember where the other notes are too. I will continue to watch these videos to learn more! Thanks again!

U’re a brilliant teacher; never played or read music before, but u just simplified it all in a less boring way. Thanks! 👍🏾

I have just got my first keyboard for my birthday and I’m so lucky that this is the first video lesson that I clicked on. It’s excellent. Really informative, great visionary and a great pace. Perfect for getting me started. Thanks for taking the time to teach people like me. I’m looking forward to trying this and finding more of your lessons too. Great stuff.

Whatever you teach and however you teach it, you will always get people who want you to move slower or faster, and some of those will get frustrated and resent you for this mismatch. So you will always get dislikes, even if you do everything "right". Don't overthink it, I get plenty of ad revenue from this video to make up for the dislikes ;)

He is not a bad teacher. He covers EACH step pretty well being very detailed. Best part he is NOT rushing the lessons. . He does drills at a SLOW pace!! 🍧🫑🍧🫑🍧

This is fantastic. Haven't played piano in years and recapping on my music theory, fingering and following you is amazing... nice and clear... and easy to follow and apply practically. THANK YOU!

Ever since I was a little girl I’ve always wanted to learn how to play the piano, but back then piano lessons were too expensive so my parents couldn’t pay them.. later on in middle school I learned how to play the trumpet, then the violin but I never learn how to play the piano… I’ll be trying to learn how to play the piano by my own with your lessons :)

this is the fastest way to getting started. I myself had started off learning guitar by directly getting into the chords and i have to tell you i learnt more quickly than my counterparts who started with me but it took them around three years to be able to play the guitar properly because they wasted much of their time learning notes and notations and other stuffs.

Thank you so much my online teacher and this is what I have understanded: ------------------------------------------------ "C" always in begins at 2 black key notes. and note on the keyboard from begin side is ab cd efg abc and ahead ------------------------------------------------ 1)chord is c major, f major, g major amd a major and each letter called note. 2) C major: (thumb)G, (Index)C, (ring)F F major: (thumb)A, (index)C, (nickle) F G major: (thumb)G, (index)B, (ring)D A minor: (thumb) A, (index)C, (ring) E p/s: keep practice those and you will be in fluent in it ------------------------------------------------ this is left hand: F:pinkle G: ring A: middle C: thumb pedal: just press longer to make sound ringing!

We'll agree to disagree. Playing all chords in their root position will create a very unmusical result. There's nothing more difficult about inversions compared to root positions, so why not learn the more musical (and equally easy) approach? You can worry about theory later. Driving is the same: You learn what *works* and how to operate the car first, without caring what's the difference being an alternator and a carburetor, or why a stop sign has an octagonal shape.

Wow thank you so much, it makes so much sense. The resting of our pals and the natural form of the fingers make up the chords, and to mirror is with your left had with the lead note as the base. O completely understand and comprehend. I and never had any education in musics. This will help me craft my piano voices now. I can fidle to find things but I feel like you gave me a sharpening to become a tool. Thank you

That was a very interesting post, here are a few more tips on how to play the piano… Try practicing about an hour each day, or 30 minutes if you have a busy schedule. Do extra practice whenever you have more time. For example, on weekends you can do more than 1 hour, like two or 3, or even more. This is very helpful because it pulls you out of the routine of piano playing, and lets you practice more and perfect the pieces you play. Listen to the song or piano piece you are playing. For example, if you are taking piano lessons and are about to play a new piece, you could try searching on the internet for videos or songs and hear how it sounds. This can be very helpful because it teaches you how a song is played and lets you recognize the 'emotion,' the piece is giving off. Try not to look at the dynamics in a piece, as rules you cannot break. For example, if the piece starts with an 'mp' (mezzo-piano) it only means 'moderately soft' these dynamics don't have specific volume levels. If you are practicing, you don't need to play accordingly and then have a difficulty hearing yourself, you should only play as it tells you when you are actually trying to play it properly. Practice sight-reading and don't worry about making mistakes. This can be very helpful, because it's almost like scanning a paragraph and looking at the picture. It helps you to understand what the passage is trying to convey before you actually read it and lets you know what comes next. This is the same with music, and it can help you stop making mistakes. Pay close attention to your mistakes. Don't look at them as a burden, but instead as a pat on the back informing you what to avoid next time. (I read about these and more on Denelle piano lesson site )

Amazing. I was able to follow through with the video and can't wait to start the next lesson. Best online tutorial I have found so far.
