      Hi handsome geeez im crazy i hope u can add secondary piano with color of which u are pressing. I know it can be solved by listening you properly of which notes to be played but it would easier (forrr me) to see colors clearly. I hope u can considerate pogi 🤓

    • @kandamy1
      @kandamy1 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Interesting how many older beginners follow these videos ( myself included) . I think it may be to do with us being more self motivated and keen to learn not just in a formal class type situation- we're ready to experiment across music genres and perhaps less constrained by self-consciousness that can be difficult for younger people.

It will be lovely if you can create a playlist for beginners like me with your videos in sequential order - which exercises to practise as a beginner. Thanks in advance. Keep the great work going.

    Thank you so much for this explanation of using inverted chords. I am 79 and just started piano 4 years ago. My husband is 84 yrs old and has been playing lead guitar professionally since he was 14 years old. He lives and breathes chords but can confuse me too easily. Because of your videos I am now understanding more what movements and practices I can do to improve my playing.

    I've been playing with inverted chords for years and only recently discovered the term for what I was doing. I love being able to describe a 1st inversion vs. a 2nd inversion. This is truly a richer found - I love sharing notes so that only part of the fingers move. Great stuff! 😀❤

    I watched one of your videos 4 months ago and went out and bought a piano. I watched this 3 months ago, and here I am again. You have a very musical way to teach piano, and a cute puppy.
    This is a iV I V vi progression. And I think this is a great one to either practice on the circle of fourths or fifths, as well as chromatically. I started doing this yesterday...and came across this video again today. it seems that the shift should be similar in every progression in every key. And there are some standard basic chord progressions so this gives me a great idea for mastering this. I'm trying to do this since I'm working on a II V I progression on the circle of fourths.
    Merci beaucoup for your efforts. Great teachers have a place in heaven playing for the other angels.

    Greetings from NZ! I had piano lessons when I was 13 "for something to do" and had been on the waiting list for ages. Then when the time came, I wasn't really into it and found the teacher daunting. I didn't learn much about using the right hand chords to play (as I gave up). I had to read sheet music which I hated (got in trouble for memorising the songs lol) . I lacked confidence to play in front of people and was in awe of my now late mum's natural talent thinking I wasn't good enough.. I have just started picking it up again as a way to feel connected to my mum. (and still know all the root chords!). I may be investing in a piano keyboard soon! Just mucking around on the ipad at this stage but it's very limiting. I love music and need it in my life. I will check out more of your lessons. Had no idea of inversion chords Thanks!

    I started piano 8 months ago after watching one of your videos. Merci beaucoup.
    I don't know how many times I've watched this video, but someone made a comment that really hit home. There was a technique being demonstrated, and he said it's an intermediate technique. If you can't play this chord voicing technique easily in every key, you're still a beginner.
    I find that when I go into different keys, that doing the exercise in the left hand in C Major while trying the sequence in the right hand in another key helps to understand the movement. And of course I practice this in my left hand also. How long will it take me? It doesn't matter, I'll take the time.
    Thanks for helping me to start on this journey, Jazer.
