Learn To Play Piano Instantly: #1 Beginning Training (Pro Shortcuts)

This is a piano tutorial for beginners, but even if you are an intermediate piano player you will pick up some shortcuts about recognizing chords and intervals quickly by watching this fast-moving video.

This is Beginning Piano Lesson Part One, make sure to watch Part Two also. You'll discover how working musicians learn music by ear... I've rehearsed and recorded with world-class musicians who've played with artists like Journey, Rick Springfield, Billy Idol, Melissa Ethridge, Alice Cooper, Richard Marx, Michael Jackson, Boz Skaggs, Barry White, Nancy Wilson, Aretha Franklin, Michael McDonald, Kenny Loggins, Elvis Costello, Macy Gray, and many others...

I'll show you how THEY work out songs, learn chords fast, play songs quickly, and how you can do the same thing and impress your friends by becoming an instant "Piano Genius". :-)

major chord : 4+3
minor chord : 3+4

etc.
finding c major
c is the base
plus 4 is e
then plus 3 is g
c major =
c e g

finding c minor
c is the base
plus 3 is e#
then plus 4 is g
c minor =
c e# g

this is how I find my chords

I started to learn how to play the piano about 15 years ago, and DO have a basic understanding of music theory, but the simplicity of major and minor chords was never defined to me like this. I think it's awesome! Certainly beats trying to memorize all the chords. I'm anxious to see what ELSE he can simplify!

[allendope]

This is amazing! I bought a keyboard about a month ago but quickly lost motivation since I couldn't figure out how to remember the chords. But, after watching this video I have learned the chords but most importantly it has re-lit a fire of motivation to keep learning! Thank you so much!

Dude I cannot believe how much time and money I wasted on instructors when this guy just completed my 2 years of training in 10 min.

[rebeccamclaren]

This was so helpful! I watched it once and now I know more than my teacher taught me for a whole year 😂

[allams]

Simple:
Major Scale -
Minor Scale -

Easy guys. :D

[ThePandaGuitar]

What an amazing video. It's so hard to find teachers who know how to eliminate all the unnecessary clutter and stick to what beginners need right now. Thank you so much!
