In my opinion, BEST PIANO TEACHER ON THE WEB. Seriously, this is one of the "keys" (a pun. Get it?) that unlocks some of the magic of music. Clicking the subscribe button now.

Power chord explained very well. Definitely will be trying this technique out today. Thanks josef.

[lkcrutch]

YES! Thank you!!!! I have always wondered what exactly a power chord is/WHY I LOVE COLDPLAY SONGS SO MUCH and I feel you delivered so well on both counts! Can't wait to use this technique!!!

Do you want me to put together a coldplay song tutorial? If so what song’s your favorite?

Hi Joe, Love Coldplay, have been playing their music on bass guitar, but have just started playing keyboard, early days have been following your channel and have learned a lot in a very short time frame. Had lots of problems with my hands, tremors from having MS, have no movement from mid thigh down but can use sustain pedal by mounting it in front of my right knee, slight twist from the pelvis and bingo sustain, playing repetitive arpeggios has helped to calm the tremors in my hands. Best piano tutor on the net, big thank you.

Power chord - never heard this described so well until I came across your site. It certainly has improved my improvisation - even my husband is impressed 😁

Strong teaching CPA !!! Keep up your great work and have a fun and creative weekend my talented friend .. .jeff. . .LLLL

Actually this progression was written by Avicii which you can clearly here if you break down the chord, he used this progression in a lot of songs only difference is the voicing and order of the chords

[aditya]

Man! absolutely love these kind of videos where you explain how traditional chord progressions can be given a modern pop voicing
I really appreciate your work you got a new follower today. :D
