Chords are built from scales. A triad is the most simple type of chord, it consists of 3 notes. To construct a triad you must take the 1st, 3rd and 5th. You could think of it as playing the root note, skipping the next note of the scale and playing the next one. Again, skip the following note and play the next one. These three notes create a triad. You can get major triads as well as minor triads (and more!).
You can also play these chords in different inversions. To do this, move whichever note is on the bottom of the chord to the top.

My god, he's still liking comments a year later, not to mention the magnificent tutorials. What a legend.
Many thanks, I've been looking for "piano chords book free download" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Nonason Ranincoln Genie - (should be on google have a look )?
It is a great one of a kind guide for discovering how to play the piano like a pro minus the hard work. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my m8 got great success with it.
Lol now 3 years
Hey everyone, the greatest results that I have had was with the Turbo Piano Secret (i found it on google) definately the best system that I've tried.
Lol
🔥
I liked the simply explanation of " every chord is built from a scale , to really know chords we need to know a scale " that's extremely important to know as a beginner
Excellent tutorial, very clear easy to understand in a simple language that even a child could understand. Thank you
As a child I agree with this statement
@@chiaracongiuhughes9102 same
The fact that he really made it so easy to understand. Thank you so so much for making this !! ❤️❤️
After several years of playing around, pointlessly, sounding horrible, I watched this video, and I understand now. I almost sound good... Lol
This explained what I, as a woodwind, never learned.
Thanks for explaining it perfectly.
After a year of lessons, I could never understand this. You just made it so clear for my musically stunted self. Thank you.
Happy to help!
I literally cannot wait to get home to try this out on my piano
Thank you! So much!
Jesus thanks mate it’s all I need straight to the point. No nonsense
I’m a no nonsense kinda guy 🙏
Thank you brother, i am trying to self teach my self to play at my church and certainly youve helped me ! May God be w you
This is great. I've played 30 years and subbed because your explaining is so helpful and clear ☺️
Thank you for your lovely voice, slow and easy pace, for highlighting notes on the piano and showing the sheet music! Best tutorial ever!
Thank you so much! What an excellent teacher and such a simple way to learn.I’m so excited.
Been playing Guitar for 25 years but piano has always eluded me and at 47 have decided to give it a go. Perfect tutorial style. Thanks.
I am a guitar player for about 10 years now. Never believed i could learn playing piano. Though i just wanted to learn to play basic chords, but TH-cam tutorials never helped me untill i found this video today.
Thank you so much man. You saved my life today. Buying my melodica tomorrow. Love from Pakistan ❤️🙏
Liked & subscribed your channel 🙏
@@TipuMusic respect
Excellent video. Looking for more of your videos!
It's cool that we musicians can share our professional experience via TH-cam! I'm so happy I am not alone. Viva la Musica!
Finally a tutorial I understand, ha ha. :-)
Easiest explanation I have heard about chords. Thanks super helpful. We definitely be following all you session
Man, I am a new learner and this video was mind blowing
It really helped me a lot. Thanks again!❤
You're a great teacher, easy to understand. Thank you for doing this for us all!
My pleasure! 🙏
You are a great instructor. Thank you for sharing.
love how you just jump straight into it! some videos are really long but this ones really to the point
I am no musician, but happen to teach 6th grade music. This really helps me to at least understand music that i teach children
You just made me feel good about myself. Brilliant teacher. Thank you.
Finally understanding these basic concepts that no one has ever explained well to me before 😭
What a great video. I'm actually using this in my high school music teaching and the students really understand the basics with the way you have displayed this and explained it.
Subscribed! This is one of the few tutorials that are straight to the point and easy to understand 👏🏽
Amazing I love how this is free and so amazing
4:35 it sounds like the part In the song La Vie on Rose where she says “hold” and then would carry on to say “me close and hold be fast”. I love it❤️
I'm watching Sept 2024!!!! I love how he takes his time, talks normally and not going 500 miles per hour. Thank you Sir!❤
From Arizona USA
Thanks man, much appreciated!
Best chord lesson ever. Thank you. I am learning the piano from you tube. You are the best so far.
Yasss. Been playing/knowing certain chords, from those piano synthesizer videos, without actually knowing the exact chord unless I thought of the practiced song in my head 😂. Thank you for this. Makes things much clearer 💕.
Note to Self: White chord triads are minors, black and white make majors/sharps, white uneven separations make majors with diff ways.
Many thanks for such a useful tutorial, as a beginner I find them very easy to follow and very helpful.
That's good to hear! Make sure to check out the rest of this playlist... I'm sure you will find it useful :) goo.gl/dyghoY
I am so very new to this. Spent some time browsing TH-cam for nubby lessons. This is the best intro I’ve come across. Thanks.
Wow ! This is great!.I've seen so many videos but this one is very easy to understand..Thank you.Keep it up!
Effing awesome!!! This is the basic basic basic information I needed. So many other videos teeach you how to play the chords but don't explain what you are doing.
You are amazing sir, just loved your way of teaching...I shall follow all your posts on you tube
Thanks ❤❤ who else is here watching in 2024

Melvin Simpson I believe in you!! I’m just starting to learn now too. I’ll try and think of some advice!
This is so helpful thank you so much, from an absolute beginner at 72yrs it's never too late to learn. I've subscribed
Wow you've explained this so clearly! Brilliant lesson thank you
Thank you so much! this was like a piano lesson for dummies to me lol. Easy to understand and your voice was nice to listen to! thank you!
Thank you so much I was so confused about the major chords and all those things, this is too underrated.❤️
You're welcome! Glad you found it useful 😃
Mind blown! My piano teacher has been talking about inversions and showing them to me but I never really got it until now. The light bulb is finally on, thank you!!!
Clean and clear. Thank you champ.
Thank you so much for such a great tutorial!! Learning The Keyboard is a struggle only the learner understands and - literally every step is a challenge
But this made it a lot simpler
Esp the inversion part!!
Thank you! Now these shapes finally make sense
this is the only tutorial that actually helped me. this is so great. you gained a new subscriber. thank you so much! 💗✨
I am so happy this video exists.
One of the best beginner courses so far
Started learning notes two days ago, glad I found this! My friend told me once I learn chords, it'll be easier.
Thank you so much for these videos. You are the only person on youtube who makes learning easy to understand. I'm really enjoying playing the keyboard thanks to you!
If I had this is 1998... I'd be the British Max Martin.
*I always thought that chords were played with the left hand and righties jus had to get used to it...* 😞
My school music 'teacher' would give us lettered music to play on a keyboard (AXEL F etc...) then leave the room until the end of the 'lesson'. Useless. Thanks to people like this guy,anyone who now has an instrument they want to learn and an internet connection will never not have exactly what they want.
Thanks for making that SOO simple to learn
No problem, glad you found it useful 😀
beautiful lessons for beginner, easy to follow
Thank you so much. This is what I have been looking for. 24.02.2023, 15:40
Anybody else just get their first piano/keyboard? Lol 🙋
Yup new midi controller
What's a midi controller! (I guess I could look it up of course). But no, I've had a Fender Rhodes for something like 40 years and barely ever touched it
me😂
I bought a fucking big keyboard with no history of musical instruments
Hows it going?
Thanks a lot! The first thing I learnt (after the key names) is that the 1st, 3d and 5th note of a C scale make C major. Then, I'd go to a video and see a person play a supposed C major, but with the fingers on the wrong places! Thanks to you, now I know it's an inverted chord! Thanks a bunch!
Thanks dude, this was so helpful 👍
A pianopig video a day will teach me the piano right away 😭✨✨🤝
Such a concise and to the point example of a chord and how its formed Give yourself a gold star
Brooo this guy still liking comments, this video was 4 years ago
Liking and replying 😉
The best & easy to understand tutorial on the internet so far. Wishing you all the very best brother! ❤️
This is one of THE simplest piano lessons for beginners😇💜. U need to be recognized!
Your explaination is very calm . Now i get to know little bit more about chords .Thanks
3:21
the first two literally are the most joy filled chords to me
D minor, E minor, F major, E minor, B flat major, F major (an Octave down), B flat major, (the last chord I can't name (B, C#, E))
though the majors may be it's saving grace
Thank you for the simple straightforward video, it was very easy to understand. Will be moving to your other chord videos.
Very informative. Thanks
BEST PIANO TEACHER IVE EVER RUN ACROSS, THANK YOU SO MUCH 🙏🏼

Edit, subbed with enthusiasm!
Thank you so much for this. You've explained so clearly. Thank you. I couldn't manage to access the playlist however.
This helped me so much thank u
Great start to the series. Thanks!
Simple tutorial great video❤
Thanks for a wonderful lesson on cords. I'm a beginner on piano and this is a wonderful music theory lesson!!!
Thank you so much for this!!! I watched the whole playlist and I learned so much more than all those years back in school! It was extremely well explained and the 3-2 and 2-3 system is amazing and I really wish someone had told me about it years ago. Well done!!! And thank you so much!!
Really easy to understand! Cheers
I learned how to play basic piano on my own by looking up piano chords on safari, saving them, printing them, pasting them on my bedroom wall and searching for guitar chords (because i know how to play the guitar). I found the tutorial slow paced and slightly complex than it actually is. But don't get me wrong this video is so much better than the others and is much, much simpler. But if you still don't get it, even if you don't know how to play the guitar, just memorize piano chords, look up guitar chords for a song you want, play it depending on the octave, (how low or how high the song is) depending on the pace, (how fast the tempo is) and add the base chord or base note for just a little bit of umph. And as some of you may know, many pop song are played with the same four chords; C, G, Am and F namely, Obla-di-obla-da by the beatles, High Hopes by P!atd, Girls like you by Maroon 5, Let it be also by the beatles and many more other songs. Never give up and always strive to be better at what you're doing. Goodluck!
Thank you so much, this is literally the only video that made sense to me
I'm so much thankful for your lessons, I'm just a level beginner in piano playing. I would love for you to teach me more. I would mine downloading your videos.
