I have played keyboards in bands since 1983 and still do. I still do not (bother to) read music.
I did have a teacher in the early years who taught me the importance of knowing chords and how they are constructed. A very old book - "Chord Construction Magic" by Bill Irwin - actually written for organists but still applies, had been my bible for years until I just know naturally about the sound I want, the direction I want the music to have (direction also means emotion to me).
Players - please learn those chords. Feel the emotion from your music. Kaitlyn's video is a great place to start.

After struggling to perceive the intended meanings of chords and their structure, your description of chords was so clear and concise. I now understand them. Thankyou Kaitlyn.

I'm about a year in, self-taught adult. (Lol), but this video, using math, was excellent. I've been driving myself crazy trying to understand the "mathematical logic"... I'm a retired math teacher, this video helped tremendously! Holy crap, you covered just about every way to make chords in ONE VIDEO. I wish I'd seen this about a year ago when I started playing. I even saved the video. Looking forward to more of your content! Great job! ❤😊😊

[TheRayjay]

I’m the type of person who is not easily impressed, but have have to say Kaitlyn, your teaching methods are outstanding the best there is, and Trust me I’ve watched a lot. You make everything easy to understand and delivered in a pace that’s easily followed. Incredible Ray from the UK.

All the Things You Are, Misty, and Moonlight In Vermont. I am a classically trained piano teacher and always want my students to learn several different ways of shaping music so they can play their favorites in addition to Bach, Mozart, and Chopin. So, though I teach, I am the student in your lessons. And though I have played piano for 68 years, I will pretend to be a novice to learn what you have to offer. Thank you.

I can't believe it. My mother gave me one piano lesson when I was maybe 5 years old. It stuck with me my whole life. It was the 4-3 pattern. I started teaching myself piano years ago to fill in at church when we lost the keyboard player and I used that method to find the chords. Someone else stepped up to play piano that was experienced and I stopped practicing and just went back to guitar. I never had the chance to play on Sunday. Its been 60 years and this is the 2nd time in my life I heard someone explain it.

[delphini]

A chord is multiple notes being played at a time
Major: 4+3 half steps

Suspended 2: 2+5 half steps
Suspended 4: 5+2 half steps
Dominant Seventh Chord: 4+3+3 half steps
Major Seventh Chord: 4+3+4
Minor Seventh Chord: 3+4+3
C Major: C,
C Minor: Cm
Dominant Seventh: C7
Major Seventh: Cmaj7
Minor Seventh:Cm7

You have such a pleasant countenance about you, Kaitlyn, and it makes learning from you such a wonderful experience! Thank God for creating YOU!

[wayneeck]

You are the best, with an incredible talent for teaching. I have to be your oldest online student at 76. I have played a little, about all my life by ear but with your talent to teach, I will be able to expand my ability to entertain myself, in my enjoyment and love for piano music.

[torpadar]

Lucky I found this video: had almost given up trying to learn. Thank you for making this video.

[andydejong]

I am a guitar player. I am really enjoying your videos, especially this one (Learn *EVERY* Piano Chord). Some of the things I was a bit fuzzy on with guitar, like diminished chords, are more clear after seeing you teach them on the piano.

[ellentau]

What a terrific and simple way of learning chords thank you!

[didianandakrpa]

I have watched so many piano tutorials over the years but your style is the best there is. Truly the best of all!

[percyhumphries]

the first song I would like to play is "seasons in the sun" when I can for the first time in all the years of trying I am excited about doing my piano lessons, I feel that as I learn with you I may be able to, as you say, play a real song, not just " mary had a little lamb" after ages of practice but my choice of song as we go along, Thank you

[csly]

As a beginner, I've struggled with the concept of types of chords. But this made sense! Linking the moods they evoke and the simplicity of numbering. Thanks very much!

[donaldmcmillan]

Wow, you made it so simple. I learned how to build major and minor chords from a keyboard player in a band when I was 16 but never knew how to build beyond that. (I'm a guitar player.) I'm 68 and finally found a great way on how to build chords that went beyond what I knew. Thank you for the lesson!
