Piano Chords: Major & Minor

Показать описание
A simple and efficient method to construct ANY major & minor chord on the piano.

In this piano tutorial, we look at an easy method to build major and minor chords. The idea is to count the notes in half-steps. Doing this allows us to count the notes between each note.

For example, a major chord plays the root note, skips 3 notes, plays the next note, skips 2 notes and plays the next note. So the first skip is 3 and the second skip is 2. Therefore we can call major chords "3-2" chords. This applies to ALL major chords.

To construct a minor chord we need to reverse this, so we need to play a "2-3" chord. An easy way to remember this is because the first skip of the minor chord is small, and minor & small can mean a similar thing.

Never played piano before, but I bought one yesterday as I’m increasingly obsessed with the beautiful sound..
I’ve literally looked at so many videos on here, only to be more confused.. until now.. you guys at PianoPig are GODS to me now, thank you so much.
I feel so confident in my new journey going forward..
To anyone thinking about learning, I’m 45 and just starting, it’s never too late.. 💪 🎹

I have *never* thought of just adopting a 3/2 or 2/3 approach to chord memorisation, because I’ve always been taught the “Whole, half, half….” method.

Why on Earth more tutors don’t adopt your method is beyond me. This has completely reframed how I build chords for the better.

I can't believe I've been playing the piano for 13 years and know all the chords by heart but never noticed that omg 😂

Watched so many frustrating tutorials that were like taking ten steps forward and 20 backwards. This was at a manageable pace for a beginner and finally provided clarity and helped me stay motivated about learning chord progressions.

This might be the perfect explanation for beginners. I’ve asked so many musicians what the difference between a major and minor chord is (I’m musically illiterate for the most part), but this has been the best explanation I’ve seen so far. Thank you so much!

Very short and efficient in teaching. As a beginner in learning to play piano. This is perfect way to differentiate major and minor chords

The visual representation up top really secured it for me. I’ve been messing around with the piano for a few weeks casually playing it every once in a while and I’m really starting to get serious with it. This video helped tremendously.

I've been practicing piano for 6years but my teacher never taught me chords and the music sheet just so I don't leave his classes.
Thank you.
I will consider you my guru from now on🙇‍♀️
