well this is why i played the up is down so good but i cant play it anymore just few days later
Thanks
I am SO EXCITED to have found you! Just like you, I was impatient and learned Beethoven's Fur Elise without knowing any music theory. I had to dissect it one note at a time and it took me months. I would like to learn the why behind it instead of learning each thing individually. You're teaching people to fish vs feeding them (with their piano), and I appreciate that.❤
Okay. I'm 41 and starting today and now I feel so encouraged!!!!!
This ate!!
Finally, somebody actually telling beginners to actually learn music theory instead on selling them some dead midi pack. Well done bro, keep grinding 🔥🙏
Midi packs are dope but only if you either already understand them and just looking for better workflow, or use them to study and learn the theory.
@@coltonshanley1921 way too expensive, especially that midi chord library one (forgot what it's called) such bs just a compilation of existing chords
Edit: Unison that's the one
😂
@@jadenakal5176 theres a free open source pack I forget what it's called but it's way bigger than unison's. I learned about it on a tantacrul video he's another great source for learning theory
Theory will come to you. Not everyone learns the same. If you keep playing, you have no choice to understand theory.
"Theory just makes sense of what you are doing but it's always the music first..."
🙏🏾
I read that as he was saying it
Yeah that was something that hit me.
@@NezzySetApartsame here 😭
If i did theory first I would think I didn't even like the instrument but I do think it's indispensable for evolution in playing
Absolutely a king for saying “always the music first” instead of putting his tag for the music course he’s selling. What a homie 💯
😂😂…fuckin tiring wit content creators always tryna sell us something…i respect it tho tbh.
"🎶A scrub is a guy who thinks he's fly...🎶"
And is also known as a buster 😫
@@dirtychewbrocca ‘Always talkin bout what he wants’…😒 lol
And just sits on his broke ass 😂
Literally all I could think of after that 😂
All those people who say “music theory limits your creativity” need to watch this video

I've been a pianist for 13 years, a composer for four years, and this is one of the best tips I've ever heard
Wow thanks! ✊🏾
The internet is a blessing bro
@@marznamx sometimes it is, like this. Other times... not so much lol
@@clamchowder5635 honestly bro
Hahaha😢😮😅😅😊
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for and to get it from a brotha who seems like he knows what he’s talking about AND CAN ACTUALLY PLAY means that much more❤️🔥
Immediately knew it was scrubs 😭
Well said! As a pianist i love learning new songs and it used to take forever when i was starting but now i can just hear and remember it for good🎹🎶💖💁♀️
Process! 💯
Very helpful video. I remember Paul McCartney saying one time how he would get on the piano, break up chords, and create songs out of it when he was with The Beatles.
Just explore, the understanding will come later! 🙌🏾
Honestly as a mathematician and programmer this concept seem to generalize really well to all learning: do first then after try to understand.
Because in school we are used to theory and then practice but honestly in my experience that's not effective, theory only makes sense when you have soemthing to reference to.
how can i use this tip to learn math and programing?
I’m 22 and been wanting to learn so many different instruments since I was a kid… I could easily have 10 years experience but 10-15 years later I’m still wishing I knew how to play and you just gave the motivation I needed💯
It’s never too late! 🙏🏾 ✊🏾
You made me borrow my sisters keyboard that used to be mine😂
Hahaha nice! Honestly I suggest learning your major and minor triads in both hands.
Most songs use those chords! Now you won’t be the world’s greatest pianist (yet) but you’ll have the tools to play most songs! ✊🏾
Totally agree. Like we sing a song and later we know oh this song is in C ,for example
I’ve been playing viola since fourth grade and just kinda followed along not really understanding why I did anything. Now that I’m learning music theory I’ve had so many “ohhhh, that’s why we did that!” Moments
The third chord is Eb7.🙂
It was corrected in the video caption!
And 1st is actually Db minor, since if you're in the key of Ab minor you can't have sharps (only a natural G if it's a harmonic scale)
All this stuff applies when you’re reading music guys 😂! That restricting mentality is the reason you guys are watching these videos in the first place 😂!
@@DeyquanBowens I'm not being negative, I understand it's technically the same thing, I'm only speaking from a theoretical stance. No need to take it badly.
@@Zain-dc4fc exactly...theory, not a fact, not proven. My theory says its a Pink Diamond Curved with a Twinkie #5 in the bass. If sounds good, and you understand why, the rest becomes semantics
This is actually true, and great for, learning in general. In all different, various areas. It’s actually a concept used to learn much more, way faster; and to master concepts in entirety as well - of course, its use is purposeful in achieving that mastery at a faster rate.
First song I learned was Light My Fire with both hands, 5 years later I realized what I did. I was 9 years old. Very useful tips!
Can’t play back any songs yet, but I started learning scales and chords, and now I label all my melodies loops in a key for future reference. Sound ideas come together waayyy quicker now.
I am slowing learning this as well in my journey as a pianist
i have this thing for learning a new instrument that worked with me very well with guitar, Its my third day playing piano and i’m loving it, I started on the guitar by playing note by note, and learning the hardest songs I could, like hotel California and its solo, took me a while but finally got it, and at some point I did so many notes over and over that I automatically learned name of chords, and now I can use Gtabs for example to learn new songs easily hut always started harder than I should
with the piano I’m on my third day learning today, i’m about half way learning Clair de Lune (Slower but getting there) and I know at some point I will bottleneck and will need theory, but every time I started with theory I drop it and get bored, and again nobody is helping me but I really enjoy it!
Actually some really good advice. The thing to keep in mind no matter what you do or try should always be “but does it sound good?” That’s what it always comes down to. You could spend years writing the most technical and harmonically intricate piece ever crafted but if it doesn’t sound good… what’s the point? Conversely there are songs by legendary artists like Lennon and Mcartney and BB King and Johnny Cash which, theoretically, are stupidly simple, but we still play them because they sound THAT GOOD.
Always ask “does this sound good?”
Theory not only makes sense of what you're doing, but it allows you expand on it. Knowing all those chords and stuff just makes experimentation a little easier.
I agree!
Bro this is sooo true.. thanks for this…. Your channel is fire
So true!
This is a spot on for every musician. The first thing I teach my students is literally what you've said here. Can't be expressed better - music first, theory just makes sense of it. Great to hear this truth once again and remind myself that it should be always like that.
You make it seem so casual and its easier for me to understand
(And that song is so recognizable lol)
My Choir master thought me how to play drums. His main focus was just to teach how to play rhythms of songs. I eventually adapted to that reality until I came across the music theory for drums. Introduced myself to rudiments and everything I had learned from my choir master began to make sense I was just apply stuffs to what I already knew and it was like damn sheeesh this sounds great! How come I didn’t know all this all this while. #like my man said, its always the music first ❤
Man, this is some of the best doggone advice. I remember the day I sat down and learned the circle of fifths, it made all kinds of stuff start firing.
Thank you 🙏 for sharing.🙏✨☮️💕
great tip! thats where i am .... Im learning theory of my favorite songs I play. Its not easy but rewarding one chord at a time
Yup! Don’t be in a rush to understand it 💯! One day it’ll just make sense!
@@DeyquanBowens 💯
❤true..@@DeyquanBowens
I like this tip a lot. I do try to decode some random things that pop into my head and will attempt to play them on keys. Arpeggios are basically sound loops, so if you can identify some chords, break 'em up until you get what you hear.
💯
Yes!!!
The way you broke that down just revealed everything I needed to know. In 30secs! Like how to play the piano lol. Arpeggiating the chords creating the melody. I just didn’t understand how it worked but that just told me a lot about HOW to use the theory and why it works the way it does. This is useful! These “learn how” TH-camrs teach in circles! You got a new SUBSCRIBER
I appreciate your comment! I’m glad I was able to help in such short time 😂! Welcome! ✊🏾
I wish I learned this way. Been at it for 4 years and all my teacher has really done is tell me to remember how to play the songs properly and give me a few pointers each class, but not even on piano as a whole just on playing that song. Still forget what some notes are when learning a song, and the fun’s been long squeezed out.
It’s not too late to learn that way. You have to let your curiosity lead as well! What do you listen to that inspires you to get to the piano? 🙏🏾
As a later beginner, almost intermediate I've come across the importance of this tip, they're alot of things I could hear when I started earlier and then now I nod my head like aaaagh I now see
Awesome tip
God bless you
✊🏾 God bless you as well!
It's the Niel DeGrasse Tyson of music!
😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
Like always If u really wanna learn something u gotta love it and just go explore it by yourself thats the best feeling
I appreciate you as someone who understands that the new generation needs music theory... A lot of TH-camrs just sell some midi pack nonsense to the beginners
Thanks
I started taking piano lessons years ago and of course they teach you theory and reading sight music and one hand at a time. Then I started taking gospel keyboard lesson where I had to learn by watching his hands, no sheet music or comprehension of music theory and it frustrated me. I learned at least 3 gospel songs fully but no theory understanding. Looking back now. It did make sense because the point was to learn common gospel patterns and chords so I could play other songs. I wish I remembered them now. 😒
I’ve been a drummer for like 8 years but didn’t learn a bit of theory. I started getting into guitar and I was learning theory faster than learning the actual guitar. I definitely don’t regret it because as I was going I understood how things work and why. So definitely incorporate theory into your play.
This man ain’t no scrub.
I see what you did! 😂 💪🏾 🙏🏾
Learning c major scale and c blues scale first thing I learned on keyboard piano.
I'm still learning and so far I have learnt a Interstellar easy cover
Thanks man I did the same thing that you did.
The first song I learned was Bohemian Rhapsody and that helped me a lot
So good! Reminds me of Drumline when the opposite team band leader said- “Just because you can’t read the sign to the men’s room, doesn’t mean you don’t know how to use it”
💯
I like that bit
One thing I do which helps me with learning songs fast and being able to be flexible with keys and learning different chords and patterns is I literally just scroll on reels or tiktoks and try to play along with any song that I hear.
Thank you man. I thought I needed to understand everything I was playing before I play it. Now Im going to learn to play a song and understand how it works afterwards. God bless 😁
Appreciate this advice !!
🙏🏾
This is a great tip, thanks. It could come in handy even with other skills set.
As someone who's been stuck for years behind the challenge of comprehending music theory, that lay quote hit me like a brick.
Facts. I’m a drummer all my life. Did some minor xylophone when I was a kid so I was somewhat familiar with notes on the piano. But drumming and the xylophone was the same. Learn songs first, then get to practicing developing your most comfortable technique to perform flawlessly. Everyone is different and can’t all be taught by some technique guru or music teacher. I started playing piano recently as I became visually impaired and needed a new hobby. Learned a song I really like within the first couple weeks to get somewhat comfortable.
I’ve been a musician for 12 years and 100% agree with this. Well said.
Thank you 🙏🏾
I started learning piano with Canon Pachelbel without even knowing its chord and the note because I was having much fun with the piano ,later when I become more advanced I realized that it was played in D chord and I started to become more confident with other classical songs, I started to learn how to find a note by myself and boom I go step ahead to my level
That meant a lot
I didn't think of it like that...thanks now I wanna play haha
So true man!! People always asked me how i got so decent at guitar. I learned songs. Theory to them after made it make sense. Once you are experienced, then you learn theory more and songs 2nd so they make more sense
I loved the advice
TLC - No Scrubs awesome song to this day
That’s a very good advice. I play violin and I started playing hard pieces even though they were hard and it leveled up my skills faster than I thought
💯
That's what I did learning guitar! Now I'm learning piano and this is definitely showing I'm already a step ahead knowing how chords work
Thank you for your advice. I always try to do a song that is harder than what I'm used to just to push my limits further. I'm still a beginner and only know basic chords, but what I like to do is mess around with the cords and try to put something of my own together.
Appreciate it Bro, I Love the tip melody,, ☺️🎹🙋💫😍
I LOVE THIS. Not mentioning caps. The first real song i learned when I got my first keyboard was Für Elise by Ludwig van Beethoven. Not necessarily the first one I chose to try, but the first one I chose to learn. I still don't fully understand Ludwigs mind. We will never understand another's mind. We can only express our minds to each other. That doesn't mean another will understand your mind.
P.s. I only learned the interlude and went short on. Very good to me.
Having 25 years of guitar experience helps tremendously also, the piano is so fascinating.
Great advice mate. I am self taught. Year in I have learned many songs and wrote about 15. The weird thing is I have only recently started to learn the chord names. Major minor diminished ect . Without learning the chord names I have had to literally memorise individual keys, even chord in every song. I did it the hard way . This guy is spot on with what he says.
Thanks for your comment! 🙏🏾 Keep striving for greatness! ✊🏾
I've been playing piano for 10 years and I still suck at music theory
i can play the music since when i am 14..but the thing is now 2024 um starting to learn theory..so both important to make sense..
Learning songs in general is the best way to practice
Yup! It gives you a realtime example of how the theory works musically!
Thank you Sir for your advise. God bless you
Perfectly said thank you Deyquan.
Thank you for the insight, Sir!😊
I have learn some songs while i was beginner(a classical song) and all i know was it sound great. It look pretty impressive. But now i have understand something like “chord progression I-V-VI-III-IV” and pretty much everything else. This is a very nice tips
Genius 😎
I am just getting back in to learning piano with my daughter and this was so helpful! ❤
Yup. One thing I learned as an early player is challenging myself to learn a whole song…step by step. The chord structure especially. As long as it took…. Then I’d learn the same song in a half step up & a half step lower in key. You learn a whole lot of how theory all ties together.
See you understand the process!
Ofcourse you can learn music by watching tutorials and all but how do you guys think mozart and beethoven learned to play the piano, they didnt have youtube back then. It may sounds strange but when you play piano, you play it out your heart. It is something you feel
This is exactly how i learned acoustic guitar! except right now im stuck in only cowboy chords and barre chords, still trying to perfect it before moving on to flat picking
First thing i ever learnt on piano was Gary Jules Mad World. Just loved the way it sounded on Piano
I love learning about chords I don’t know what they are because I’m a beginner in piano but it’s fun and I would like to know
Super accurate, the first thing i learned was truce by twenty one pilots... But had no idea wth i was doing, then learned lot of chords and scales and notice the theory. Love it!
Learning what arps was was a game changer
This is absolutely so true. Thank you for spreading the word💪
Yeah good tip. Get started then get better because starting the hardest part. 💯
I’ve got about 90% of “Echoes” Pink Floyd learned and down on keyboard. The verses are C#min, G#min, F#min, and G#maj. but the C# is inverted. Never knew about chord inversions and it literally blew my mind.
Facts just listen and do it by ear is the best teacher
I've always said learning major and minor chords is step one then progression. If one can get comfortable with chords and how progression works, you can play anything
Thanks man, I’m getting my first piano tomorrow, it’s a kawai es120 can’t wait to start learning
Best of luck!
Theory is life. I don’t care if it takes me the rest of my life. I’m learning theory first.
Thanks so much
I learned to play piano for the first time in elementary school. I played then clarinet. I loved the fact that I was placed into a piano class as my elective for H.S requirements. I really wanna get back into music. I am 19.
It’s not too late. START! ✊🏾
I learned when I was 4 years old. My first song was, ‘Mary Had a Little Lamb,’ and ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star,’ & ‘London Bridge’ 😂😂😂
Ain’t nothing wrong with that lol! 🙌🏾
@@DeyquanBowens , 😂🤣😂
Heck yeah, just learned Bohemian Rhapsody going into cream by wu tang
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Can you share a video? I’d love to learn how to do this since I just learned bohemian rhapsody
You're absolutely right. I was struggling with a lot of stuffs on the piano before I started learning music theory 😃😂 Theory opens your eyes to a lot of things and simplifies everything....
It made sense because I learned it first! Now when I applied theory, I didn’t have to think about the notes!
Facts....it will come back full circle.
Wish u all the success because this is true. Been making music for 7 years for the love of it and learning theory made it hella fun and way more clear !
You saved me bro 🙏🏼 thought I should just give this shit up but that made the most sense out of anything I’ve heard about learning piano
Wow! I’m glad you’re still pushing through this music journey! 💯
Thak you sir!!!
This actually may have helped me more than you know, thank you
This has made so much sense to me thanks
