Bro came out of no where and started giving the best piano lessons

12 minutes of logical instruction without any unnecessary tangents makes it easier to follow. Love it. Also appreciate, as a newbie, the info on using the sustain pedal and not assuming we all know how to use it properly. Thank you!

I am an intermediate self taught keyboard player with Yamaha PSR SX900 .Today I found this absolutely brilliant video from Ted .I can play any chord and was looking out for a video for hand coordination and arpeggios when I found your channel.Your video is very clear and you explain really well and demonstrate how to play.I will definitely follow all your videos and thank you so much.Please keep giving us more such videos

I can't afford piano lessons so I am one of theose persons who rely on YouTube to learn, so thankfully there are people like you who are out there gracing people like me. While I am at it, I would also like to say that I have picked up some great lessons from many other teachers on YouTube but every now and then someome comes along and take me over that next important hump and your lesson on chord inversions just did that for me with extras. These extras are what I was missing for a long time which other teachers either refused, didn't know how to or just didn't care to due to a non paid subscription or lessons and I do understand that. Everyone has to make a living some how. So thanks again for your grace have a blessed weekend

I’m a singer-songwriter and I write my songs on the piano. I’m always looking for ways to improve my accompaniment, rhythm patterns, and stylings. This was hands down one of the best tutorials I’ve ever seen on piano accompaniment for pop music. I’m subscribed and can’t wait to see more and pick your brain if possible! Thank you!

Hey just learnt more in 20 mins than years of private piano lessons. THANKS brilliantly explained. 😮 only now i want to punch my … have stern words with my teacher . i weep for my parents who paid for the lessons 😢

[tanaytauli]

Am now 59 and always been interested in piano since i was young but i never got any chance to learn but now thanks to your channel am starting to learn as they say learning is a lifetime process age limit😂

I'm a guitar player. I'm learning piano. Your method of teaching is so clear. For the first time I understand how to use the sustain pedal. Relating to guitar is awesome for me. Thanks. Subscribed.

Ted, I'm a guitarist who wants to learn how to play piano. Sub divisions explained like this has helped me enormously.

Most piano teachers on youtube don't get this. They note spell a chord which is important... but more important is the " how " to make it sound like music.

You're onto something. How to make chord progressions musical by rhythmically breaking up chords and arpeggios... now your talking.

Please expand on this. It is the key to making chords become music... to become a song.

Well done mate. Hope you become a big hit on youtube. I've been waiting for years for a teacher such as yourself!

[marcoantonioregiltv]

Loved the clarity and beauty of this video. Thanks so much!!

[Patoutchila]

Never touched a musical instrument in my life, bought a 66 keys keyboard for my 7 years old 1 month ago and here I am trying to understand and play the content of this video to help him progress. Thank you youtube for the possibility of slowing down the video!

[omajuwachristopher]

I'm a beginner from Nigeria . I enjoyed the training, however kindly send a teaching to enable me easily grasp and recognise keys and eventually get to play like a professional.
Thank you sir.

[marcuscabrera]

I listened to this entire tutorial in YT preview. Was absolutely glued.

[omikapasandul]

Underrated af

The chord’s progression he uses is from Radiohead’s ‘Creep’ for those who’re wondering. The original goes G, B, C, Cm.

[DumitruFabianFabian]

Elegant, efficient, calm, honorable wise man. So great to find you.

[graynickolas_]

I’m glad someone made a video on this FINALLY! I’ve been searching specific videos on rhythm for chord progressions for a while. Thank you for this direct, helpful video! 🙏

[o.m.]

This is the first video of yours I’ve watched and immediately got the sense that not only are you a well rounded musician but an exceptional teacher also. Definitely subscribing! Thank you. :)

[IreneKiew]

I've played piano since I was 9 (now in my 40s), was classically trained and then taught myself to play pop songs with guitar chords, but have not been able to get the playing to "flow" properly... it always sounds clunky to me. I tend to use melody in right hand (that's the classical training) and arpeggios in the left hand. Thank you for this tutorial, it's very helpful.

[magavino]

Is not easy to find teachers like you Ted on YT. Please, don´t stop your videos

[reziahamed]

I wish you get trillions & trillions of views for these wondeful lessons... Oh boy you explain so clearly & concise... 👍👍
