Wow!!! You brought back memories. When I was six years old my mother taught me the I, IV, and V chord at the same time teaching me how to read the music from the hymnal. I use to sneak and try to play anything I heard on the radio and my first complete song was from the old Batman & Robin series playing the I, IV, V Chord Progressions. LOL!!!
This is a great foundation for building dexterity and consciously UNDERSTANDING which keys to press based on the notes within the primary chords. Genius teaching because without this, playing by ear within the number system would be like walking on water w/o a life vest. This method allows a musician to build intentional playing as opposed to a trial/error approach. Great content brother.
This is most comprehensive beginner to advance level teaching I’ve seen. Definitely your students have the best teacher. When I find some time id enroll myself
All I can say, as a sneaky member on You Tube, is get to be a member. This guy is Dope and de-mystifies what and when to practice without skipping the basics. Just do the work and watch it appear.
I was taught piano with the Thompson classical songbook, but later on (3rd-4th grade (piano lessons) I wanted 2 learn 2 play Gospel music. Yes, I could play Bach, Chopin, Mozart, but in learning 2 play Gospel music I had 2 start with the 3 chord method. CEG-CFF-BDG. That was my foundation . Later I was introduced 2 connecting chords & it proceeded from there.
SEAN, I need you to know that this video means everything to me, as a learning gospel player this has answered SO many questions and has given me the framework from which to build on. It truly says something as a beginner player when I know how to play dominant and diminished cords but couldn't figure out how to play to a song until now..
Loved your video Sean This is the very first time I have seen a beginner video you have ever made Such an advanced player breaking things down to this level is awesome Wish to see more of your videos like this for beginners Sean
I've finally discovered the information I've been looking for, for a long time. Thanks for making this video and sharing your knowledge and understanding of music. Peace and blessings to you and your entire family! (And to everyone who read this comment!)
I’ve been playing piano for about 5 years now. I’ve played many gigs (church and all). I’ve played in Mexico City World Trade Center for jazz, Latin, and gospel music along with weddings and local gigs but I have been humbled extremely. I’ve been self taught ever since I started. While I have learned a lot I have missed so much and watching even the beginners portion was incredibly informative. It opened a new perspective and really allowed me to understand the music I already knew how to play and be able to interpret music I struggled understanding. I am definitely adding this to my shopping list when I have the means to invest in myself. But in the meantime I will take advantage of the beautiful nuggets of knowledge here on TH-cam. With much gratitude I give you my appreciation!!
Sir, this is blessing me immensely! I will join your school and become a member! I’m impressed with how you teach everything! I have taken piano for over thirty years and you are ANNOINTED y to teach the masses!
Excellent, excellent video-thank you! I have played piano for just under 50 years, and I REALLY wish this was the very first concept I was taught!!❤not to mention, you are playing one of my favorite older songs in this video-Breathe, I think is the name….thanks again 💯
Impeccable teaching sir👌👍😀!.. unfortunately, I'm having an immensely difficult time trying to comprehend the content that you're presenting..but please be encouraged to continue teaching the saints how to play just as you have been doing sir👏!..
I think the main point in this video is that at the most basic level, you generally have only three chord options (8:56) to go with the melodic notes on the strong beats (so long as it's not passing note as in hap-py-BIRTH-day). For what ever song you're playing (and what ever unique chord progression that goes with the song, not just I IV V as noted at 2:37) and for what ever key you're playing the song, know that you can add a basic chord (or find the root note to play whatever chord you want) by playing the melodic note as note 1, 3, or 5 of the chord. And that's all there is to it for starters! : -)
The best Sean years ago all I knew was the one for five dominant 7 quarts because hymns were played that way back then back to this now learn the whole diatonic and building off of what I knew and every king supreme lesson thank you
i’m 19 and started piano lessons for classical music at age 5. we learned those basics that you taught in the video (Ceg-cfa-bdg) didn’t realize that it was helpful until now. i’m good at reading music and all those classical stuff. but after i started college, i wanted to learn more music theory and learn how to play jazzy gospel chords. so ty for this video!
Já faz um tempo que eu procuro uma aula com esse conteúdo valioso, tenho certeza que isso vai mudar a minha abordagem musical . Obrigado Sean por compartilhar um pouco do seu ouro conosco, um abraço do Brasil
Great video. How you described this is exactly how I learned to play. 15 years later I’m finally taking the time to start over and learn basic theory and I feel like I’ve leveled up another 15 years in a few weeks
I'm a beginner and just trying to establish a foundation and routine to learn to play in the different keys. I've been working on trying to determine what chords I should learn and how to plan when learning a song. This presentation is amazing to me because one person I was started to study and take online lessons from was saying you focus on the bass note and just let that determine the chords you play. But your approach is the harmonize with the melody. To me this is the secret to the special gifting and approach that you have that I love and this is the missing key for me to focus on the melody and harmonize the melody versus finding the bass note and matching that!! My question is do you always set alarm at 9:00 with the melody or do you ever use the bass note to guide you also?
Hi Sean, fantastic lesson. Thanks for that. Have you ever thought of having a camera showing your hands so that we can see how you distribute the chords between the 2 hands?
Thanks! Been stuck on the I IV V harmonization not knowing how to go from there...thx! Jermaine Griggs and you have been my best teachers...But what about min keys? i iv V7???
@@omorganstudios yeah, its more important for you to get the concept of a 2-5-1, and 7-3-6 is just a minor 2-5-1... understand the concept first, then go into other things

So cool, thanks!
This video is gold, it's all about the fundamentals that help develop the vocabulary and movements we hear......

That's in my prep vids, not Live yet
I was speaking on the 3 chords of learning 2 play Gospel by ear, I had a type-0. The chords are CEG-CFA-BDG
I play triads in all keys and I am not learning fancy chords until I have mastered all those triads.

Appreciate the support thanks so much! I wouldn't worry about minor keys so much, by mastering your major keys, you are also learning minors
@@SeanWilsonPiano hmmm 7-3-6 like a 2-5-1 I think I get it...
