If you like this lesson, definitely check out www.zombieguitar.com/ It is a one of a kind site dedicated to teaching guitarists to understand the fretboard inside and out!!
This makes perfect sense - as it’s the same way I boosted my knowledge 40 years ago... by sitting at the piano with my guitar and working out what I was playing, on both instruments, and having a great time. It’s also a great way to experience those blinding ‘eureka’ moments... when something finally makes sense!
Literally bought a keyboard a few days ago thinking it would help with guitar. Haven't found many helpful videos comparing the two until yours popped up in my feed. You're a good teacher man this video helped alot. Would for sure watch other keyboard related videos if u were to make them. Your circle of fifths guitar lesson changed my playing too. Thanks for putting these out
Brian great great lesson. I already was playing guitar and started with piano because I want learn all I can about playing music and guitar. This lesson added to already eye opening discoveries I have had since including piano into my study.Also that is why I started doing Zombie guitar. I don't believe,when it comes to music you can every stop learning. Please do more lessons with the piano. It makes what you learn on guitar fall into place much easier.
YES Brian more ! Got my start with music as a kid on piano, but never really understood its relation to other instruments. Only that ALL instruments can be better understood and relate back to the piano. Kind of like the piano is the universal instrument for all music. Right now I am learning the guitar with help from your lessons, but also learning mandolin, which is similar in layout to the violin. But all relate back to the piano. You are the best teacher of music theory I have found. So not only are you making my guitar better but your theory is helping me to get a grasp of what I missed with the piano. So yes more lessons involving both instruments sounds good to me ! Keep up the great work ! Thanks
I was a very frustrated Guitar student, found a toy keyboard and instruction book. Opened my eyes, began seeing how music actually worked and why I wasn’t getting it on guitar. I have several suggestions (not criticisms) I will add one at a time. No time right now. Thanks for posting this.
Brian. Incredible how you constantly 1up yourself from your previous videos/lessons. Your knowledge and enthusiasm is contagious. I’ve said it before, will say it again, You da best on this whole internet thing.
Man, that was amazing, learned more in 30 m than months of reading books, watching videos, and trying to figure out this stuff, awesome teacher. You definitely earn my subscription. Cheers.
I am a piano player (accordian) with Grade 10 piano and Grade 2 theory. I am trying to learn the guitar. I know the notes, the key signatures and the elements of harmony, base, melody , etc, etc, etc. This is the first time I have seen someone link the piano keyboard and the guitar fretboard and I really appreciated it. A couple of things clicked for me. I hope you continue this series, and if you don't, I would certainly appreciate any advise that you have to offer.
Yes Brian, I learned to play guitar as a teenager but never learned to solo. Dropped the guitar for many years. Then started to learn piano a couple of years ago. Understood much of the music theory. Last year decided to get back into guitar. Followed a couple of the online guitar teachers and yesterday discovered your channel. The way you teach soloing on the guitar is exactly what I have looking for. Thanks TH-cam algo for sending you my way. Definitely see benefit in seeing piano related lessons.
another good method for seeing the minor/major relationship is playing the triads over the bass note, c, for c major sound, and play the same thing over the a note, using drones this way is a good way of hearing the other modes also
I wish I'd seen this 30 years ago! I had classical piano lessons for 6 years, but when I first got my hands on a guitar I found the fretboard incomprehensible and fairly frustrating. Having the same note in different locations proved a difficult concept for me. Another hurdle was the 1D layout of a keyboard versus the 2D construction of a fretboard. The intervals are much less obvious on the fretboard and there really wasn't anyone around to point me in the right direction. Unfortunately, I lost my enthusiasm pretty quickly and sold the guitar and amp. It wasn't until last year, after discovering some helpful TH-cam guitar and music theory videos, that I gave guitar another shot. It's been much better the second time around.
Best lesson I've ever seen. Great comparison helped me greatly with understanding and demystifying music theory. Started on Piano aged 12 but never took to it. 46 years later those early lessons really did help me. Always wanted to try and compare keyboard to fretboard. Thanks Brian.
Wish I could give this a 1000 thumbs up 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼!!! The piano keyboard layout always made sense. The guitar? Clueless! The fog is beginning to clear after watching your video. Thank you for explaining this so clearly!
Brian, man, throw another reason up on the shelf of why I respect and appreciate you as a musician and a teacher. Years ago (OK - decades) when I was first learning the guitar (before sadly putting it aside for a number of years) some aspects of basic music theory confused me. I turned to our family's piano because it was just simpler to see things laid out linearly. It developed in me not only a new appreciation for the piano and how it works, but for music overall. You may be the first TH-camr guitarist/instructor to draw this comparison, or rather distinction, and tried to connect them for educational purposes. Please keep on doing what you are doing, brother. It is greatly appreciated.
After a lifetime of playing guitar I finally learned what the “key” or signature means. Now my brain is hungry for more. Thanks so much!🤙 p.s. you’re an amazing teacher.
I really like your way to summarize everything together as a whole. You have a “global” view of music. I play piano and it is nice overview. I especially like using the strumming pattern on the piano. Good for midi production. Thanks.
Cool Brian, you're right on time! I pulled out my keyboard a few days ago to start playing it again to broaden my music vocabulary along with my guitar and here you are! Awesome! And you play the keys pretty good! Your channel is awesome, Thank you.
Brian Kelly, you are a mighty man at the music. This was great. I have a keyboard in the house this long time and not a clue what to do with it until now. Thanks.
Thanks! This was really interesting. I never really looked at a piano as a way to understand more about the guitar. I hope you continue making more of these types of videos
OMG, I can't believe that I've been playing for this long and your explanation of exactly what a diminished 7th Chord is FINALLY makes sense to me. Love your videos!
Awesome! Glad you liked the vid 😀. Keep in mind that I just showed triads in this video though. So what you saw was just a "diminished triad", not a fully diminished chord, which contains 4 notes in total..just to clarify!
@@zombieguitar Yes, thanks for that clarification. But getting this first step down will help me understand the diminished. I have just basically been ignoring it because I didn't have a good grasp of "what it is". Now with the understanding of how the triad is formed, I can build on that. I appreciate your straightforward "cut to the core" style. For me it is very useful.
Guitar is my first love, but I'm also into piano and I'm practicing but in the meantime I use a set of keyboards to teach music theory to my guitar students. It's so much easier to see and understand the theory with a piano. #1 Zombie ~ A Michael
I loved this. I had a similar experience. I played the guitar chords for years and felt stuck because I didn't understand how the guitar works and I have to understand a thing before I can 'own' it. Then I ran across that course Piano for All and signed up, thinking maybe I'd give up on guitar and try piano. But suddenly it all made sense. It changed everything. Now I am really progressing on guitar. Thanks also to Brian's lessons as well as piano insights. I really appreciate this channel and Brian's approach.
Every time I watch I learn somthing new I've been trying to play since I was 13 I learn more from you in one video then I did in years on my on I'm 53 after watching Mabey 10 hours of your videos I can play in key no about circle of faiths penatonics diatonic modes and much more now I'm intermediate heading for pro I will get you package on the third thanks guy you helped me for free now I'm ready to go pro thanks clark
Please do more videos using the keyboard. So clear and helps my understanding of music theory in a practical way. It really makes things click to see this comparison of keyboard and guitar.
Just recently got my keyboard out to help with some background music to help with some songs I’m working on. I’ll be going over this video to help me understand what I’m doing and why. Great video Brian, thanks. Be well, be safe.
Wow Brian, this is a wake call to Piano. Thoroughly enjoyed this lesson. Love my Guitars but tend to neglect my Piano. I'll be cranking up my keyboard after this. Thank you so much.
@Brian Kelly You are Very Very good at teaching and explaining !! You are one of a few who really knows the guitar and has a desire to share. There is so much confusion online!!! Why everyone wants to help others without knowledge and understanding the subject? They don't even bother to prepare to teach a lesson before turning on cameras... As a result the net is a big mess made of 99% unrelated information chunks. Hard to find a True Teacher who you really are by nature and who is truly knowledgeable and very well informed. P.S piano stuff and comparison is a great idea, please keep doing, very useful, some have a few instruments at home and it helps to quickly get the concepts of theory and practical use.
I’ve been studying guitar and piano simultaneously also. A couple of points to expand on: 1) The piano is essentially a visualization of the C Major scale. All black keys represent Whole step intervals (wwh-wwwh), which is why there are two black and then three black keys. [yeah it makes it as confusing as heck to think about all the other Keys, but beginners need to think in C!] 2) All Keys are basically Major keys. The Relative Minor, as demonstrated well on the guitar part in the video is really just the 6th Mode (Aeolian) of the C Major scale. That in itself doesn’t help expand one’s understanding...until you figure out that it also means that ALL the modes can be played using the same scale patterns on guitar that you already know! It might be easier to learn a nee pattern for Modes that you use a lot (like Minor), but it isn’t necessary.
Grew up playing the sax, but can't sing while I do that. So, started teaching myself to play piano and guitar. I love how you brought both of them together. Still not good at either instrument, but advanced quicker on guitar. Am definitely going to check out Piano For All.
Thanks Brian. That was a great lesson and gives me a much broader understanding of key signatures - chords etc. Looking forward to your next lesson. Cheers
This is the best video to help a beginner. Especially comparing it to the piano. You definitely hit it with this lesson please do more. I learned piano first and now trying guitar. I find guitar so much more confusing because all you hear is play pentatonic scales and caged system . When looking at different teacher it could make you pull out your hair. There fingers are flying 😳 and you like ok . 👍 Now this is a great comparison it definitely will give more understanding. Please do more of these if you can. Thank you Definitely you are awesome for taking your time and go further for us to understand.
I did a more recent and much better video on this topic. Check it out 😁 www.zombieguitar.com/blog/using-the-white-keys-on-a-piano-to-demystify-the-guitar-fretboard
My goodness Brian! I could have done with this when I started learning bass guitar towards the end of last year. Coming from a piano, then drums, then keyboards background I pieced it all together slowly. As a youngster the piano teacher just had us playing scales and pieces by Mozart, Beethoven etc. Never delved into the theory at all. Wish she had. Anyway, do more please coz it will help with it all.
I loved it. Please do more of this as I am learning to play both instruments as well. I also heard that it’s much easier to learn on piano when it comes to theory. Excellent lesson
EXCELLENT LESSON Brian!!! THANK YOU!!!🙏🙏🙏. Yesssss, Definitely, have at it.......With more Lessons how Understanding Piano Music Theory - that will help us understand how it ties in with the Guitar🎸🎸🎸. God Bless you!
Thats very good, l myself are a long time guitar player and have just started playing piano, that was a good insight has made me think about my objectives about guitar playing.
aah so funny! as a guitarplayer, so many stuff i didnt get on the guitar coz - even with some (basic) music-theoretical background - you have to twist your brain like seven times to get it. easier to just let the muscle memorize. but recently, there was a piano - and i just startet to play it and it worked out - only because of musical theoretical understanding (basicly exact the things you explain so nicely in your video). on the piano is like the whole theory rolled out and laying in front of you. (little bit like a cheat, after long years on the guitar:) - so for me its like a bonus instrument to play now and i enjoy it A LOT. - so seeing your video now just wraps up what i recently found out and could apply. so it was fun to watch, coz it deepend this experience i had even further and helped me also get the link back to the guitar.
I can not explain how much your lead guitar road map helped me I found yours was that , and that really changed stuck in a same place life !!! And since then I watched many if your videos !!! But mate !!! Why you don't have any playlist on your channel it's really hard to find videos on a particular series like , music theory , mastering leads , chord tones etc !!! Take Love ❤️❤️❤️ And yeah !!! This is a guitar channel and we are guitar lovers , but at the end of the day we are music lovers !!! So without any hesitation do this kind of video more !!!
Yes, do more videos like this! As a kid, I went to school to learn to play piano (long time ago) and now I’m trying to understand guitar. For the past few months I tried to find videos like this. I still understand everything on piano but guitar is killing me. No logic at all. I mean, I love the instrument but I have no idea what I’m actually playing. People learn things visually; on piano is easy but I still don’t know the notes on the fretboard (I probably never will). I just learn the shapes of the chords or scales 😐
Hi Brian, king regards from Portugal. Surprisingly these awesome piano connections referred in your post got me even more excited with guitar playing. Thanks to it there is a lot of stuff that makes sense for me now. So I assume that your objective was accomplished once again which is using all possible and adequate means to get to an end: learn how to play guitar. Please keep up with these awesome piano guitar relationship lessons. It got me subscribing your channel right away. Thank you so much.
I guess the best aha was finally realizing how important ear training is. At least getting the sound of Major, minor, dominant chords. For scales being able to hear a Major or minor scale or pentatonic, as well as at least the Dorian and Mixolydian modes is very helpful.
Brilliant loved this lesson, Brian from Zombie 🧟♀️ Guitars is one of my favourite teachers on TH-cam, I love his simple and clear explanation of music theory it really helps to consolidate what I know and reinforce what I’ve got and where I can go, I also like Griff Hamlin from Blues Guitar Unleashed, Lemmo from Norman’s Rare Guitars, and Tommo Fujita from Berkeley / Guitar Wisdom and John Mayer’s Instagram videos from Sound Of Guitars on TH-cam and Cameron Cooper for the classic rock tricks
Wow! you have taken your teaching to a new level. I have an appreciation for the piano, I wish to be better at playing piano, I will look at the course mentioned. I would add use a guitar chords book to help relate to the piano not a piano chord book if you are a guitarist. I use Guitar Chords edited by Jake Jackson - Flame Tree Publishing. This has chord spelling along with chord shape boxes. Once you understand the piano layout you can relate, guitar to piano. Yeah carry on with this concept of teaching, I haven't see anyone else do it. I watch a lot of YT. There maybe someone else I've not seen, however I'm subcribed to you, so I get yours first. Great job.
Another aha was being able to see, looking at the white keys (C Major scale), the formula for the Major scale in whole steps/half steps. More importantly, I saw that if I played E to E just using the white keys I had a totally different formula of whole steps/half steps. So I saw that the formula was the most important thing to remember.
Not sure if your a music theory teacher but if not, you should be😎. Something about the way you explain music theory in all your videos that I like.👍. Thanks Brother🍺

Glad to hear it Clark. Thanks so much for following along!! 😀
Excellent tutorial for anyone learning either or both instruments, like myself. Thanks Brian
Hello Brian, Yes, please do incorporate the piano into more guitar lessons, makes everything so much clearer. Great lesson, thank you.
Please do more videos using the keyboard. So clear and helps my understanding of music theory in a practical way. It really makes things click to see this comparison of keyboard and guitar.
I bought a keyboard 2 weeks ago to try and work this one out, good you are blending the two instruments here.
Very good instruction. Very well explained in step by step terms. Thanks so much.
Look forward to this series. The studio is looking good as well!
I vote more.
Comparing and contrasting piano and guitar is exactly what you said it is: Super Helpful. 👍👍

Excellent! Have to watch it again so I'll remember it better. Use the piano as much as you can, as it does visually make more sense. Thanks!
great lesson Brian and yep I own 5 Vintage electric guitars a Vintage acoustic and a Yamaha P-115 piano so it made sense to me and was most helpful.
Wow Brian, this is a wake call to Piano. Thoroughly enjoyed this lesson. Love my Guitars but tend to neglect my Piano. I'll be cranking up my keyboard after this. Thank you so much.

You’re awesome dude 👊😎 Thank you for all of the Knowledge brother 🙏😎
Very useful Brian, the piano based lessons definitely work for me , I would welcome more, thanks for taking the time and effort to make these videos.
Really nice! Your Wheel of 5ths was eye opening and this is as well. Thank You.

You opened doors for me! Thank you! Well explained.
thanks man. good stuff. got the piano tuned for my woman for christmas. this will help alot.
Thanks Brian. That was a great lesson and gives me a much broader understanding of key signatures - chords etc. Looking forward to your next lesson.
Cheers
Really helpful video. How the piano and guitar relates is super helpful in learning the fretboard. More of these please!
Thank you so much ..for the enlightments and musical wisdom..! God bless you more ability and talents...
I noticed I could kind of see the fretboard much easier after starting to learn the piano this video helped me piece it together a little more thanks!
Yes! Thank you! I'm going to pass this on.
Very special good lesson...thank you very much!
It wll be good to have more lessons about this relation, guitar/piano
Thank you,I keep coming back to this lesson, it's so helpful cheers
This is the best video to help a beginner. Especially comparing it to the piano. You definitely hit it with this lesson please do more.
I learned piano first and now trying guitar. I find guitar so much more confusing because all you hear is play pentatonic scales and caged system . When looking at different teacher it could make you pull out your hair.
There fingers are flying 😳 and you like ok . 👍
Now this is a great comparison it definitely will give more understanding. Please do more of these if you can. Thank you
Definitely you are awesome for taking your time and go further for us to understand.

Wow Brian you are an excellent teacher you explain everything we need to know. Keep up the good work. Thanks a million!!!
I loved it. Please do more of this as I am learning to play both instruments as well. I also heard that it’s much easier to learn on piano when it comes to theory. Excellent lesson
EXCELLENT LESSON Brian!!! THANK YOU!!!🙏🙏🙏. Yesssss, Definitely, have at it.......With more Lessons how Understanding Piano Music Theory - that will help us understand how it ties in with the Guitar🎸🎸🎸. God Bless you!
FOR SURE Brian do more piano stuff it helps us on the guitar quit a bit , thanks for this wonderful explanation ,it all makes sens.
Vey good tutorial Brian, I'm glad I saw this because I am working on learning both instruments.
Yes definitely more of these videos mate! Very helpful
hope you do more. this is important stuff to groove to..totally will help make the connections. tip of the hat to the circle of 5ths
I really like how you explain this stuff Brian, thanks for the effort mate
Absolutely stunning way to explain music theory and practice. Waiting for another videos. Started looking for a keyboard...
Thats very good, l myself are a long time guitar player and have just started playing piano, that was a good insight has made me think about my objectives about guitar playing.
Loved the piano and guitar comparison. Mind expanding. Dean.
Brian, great job bringing it together for me! Now I understand!
Love the visuals on this. Super helpful
ive been meaning to do thiis for ages, thanks for reinspiring me! amazing lesson as always mate..
Great. Yes Brian, please do more piano and theory. You are the best!
great lesson Brian! Presse more of these! very good
Hey Brian, really interesting perspective. By the way, "YES, please do more of this type of video!"
aah so funny! as a guitarplayer, so many stuff i didnt get on the guitar coz - even with some (basic) music-theoretical background - you have to twist your brain like seven times to get it. easier to just let the muscle memorize. but recently, there was a piano - and i just startet to play it and it worked out - only because of musical theoretical understanding (basicly exact the things you explain so nicely in your video). on the piano is like the whole theory rolled out and laying in front of you. (little bit like a cheat, after long years on the guitar:) - so for me its like a bonus instrument to play now and i enjoy it A LOT. - so seeing your video now just wraps up what i recently found out and could apply. so it was fun to watch, coz it deepend this experience i had even further and helped me also get the link back to the guitar.
Learned more in 10 minutes with him than in the three weeks at the music studio
I can not explain how much your lead guitar road map helped me I found yours was that , and that really changed stuck in a same place life !!! And since then I watched many if your videos !!!
But mate !!! Why you don't have any playlist on your channel it's really hard to find videos on a particular series like , music theory , mastering leads , chord tones etc !!!
Take Love ❤️❤️❤️
And yeah !!! This is a guitar channel and we are guitar lovers , but at the end of the day we are music lovers !!!
So without any hesitation do this kind of video more !!!
Thanks man! Glad you like the vids 😀.
The playlist is my website, Zombie Guitar. It's much better than TH-cam, so I always direct everyone there 😀
Great lesson, very interesting to look at theory from the piano perspective. I welcome this type of content.
Yes, do more videos like this!
As a kid, I went to school to learn to play piano (long time ago) and now I’m trying to understand guitar. For the past few months I tried to find videos like this. I still understand everything on piano but guitar is killing me. No logic at all. I mean, I love the instrument but I have no idea what I’m actually playing. People learn things visually; on piano is easy but I still don’t know the notes on the fretboard (I probably never will). I just learn the shapes of the chords or scales 😐
YES!! Do more with the piano, please.
Hi Brian, king regards from Portugal. Surprisingly these awesome piano connections referred in your post got me even more excited with guitar playing. Thanks to it there is a lot of stuff that makes sense for me now. So I assume that your objective was accomplished once again which is using all possible and adequate means to get to an end: learn how to play guitar. Please keep up with these awesome piano guitar relationship lessons. It got me subscribing your channel right away. Thank you so much.
Thank you!! 😀
Fantastic Brian (as always), 100k subs approaching, thoroughly deserved. Congrats on the new studio.
Thanks Jeff...Almost there. Next stop 10M (I'm just bypassing 1M and shooting straight for 10M) 🤣🤣🤣
Great lesson - make so much sense. Keep it going
so resourceful - I love this series!
I guess the best aha was finally realizing how important ear training is. At least getting the sound of Major, minor, dominant chords. For scales being able to hear a Major or minor scale or pentatonic, as well as at least the Dorian and Mixolydian modes is very helpful.
Awesome lesson thanks for posting and yes would love to see more like it 👍👍👍
Brilliant loved this lesson, Brian from Zombie 🧟♀️ Guitars is one of my favourite teachers on TH-cam, I love his simple and clear explanation of music theory it really helps to consolidate what I know and reinforce what I’ve got and where I can go, I also like Griff Hamlin from Blues Guitar Unleashed, Lemmo from Norman’s Rare Guitars, and Tommo Fujita from Berkeley / Guitar Wisdom and John Mayer’s Instagram videos from Sound Of Guitars on TH-cam and Cameron Cooper for the classic rock tricks
Yeah , make more of this kind of videos
Yes please do more of these videos with piano comparisons ;)
Wow! you have taken your teaching to a new level. I have an appreciation for the piano, I wish to be better at playing piano, I will look at the course mentioned. I would add use a guitar chords book to help relate to the piano not a piano chord book if you are a guitarist. I use Guitar Chords edited by Jake Jackson - Flame Tree Publishing. This has chord spelling along with chord shape boxes. Once you understand the piano layout you can relate, guitar to piano. Yeah carry on with this concept of teaching, I haven't see anyone else do it. I watch a lot of YT. There maybe someone else I've not seen, however I'm subcribed to you, so I get yours first. Great job.
Another aha was being able to see, looking at the white keys (C Major scale), the formula for the Major scale in whole steps/half steps. More importantly, I saw that if I played E to E just using the white keys I had a totally different formula of whole steps/half steps. So I saw that the formula was the most important thing to remember.
Thanks for your explanation!
Many thanks learned a lot even turned the lightbulb off afterwards thanks again.
Yeah that was awesome man. It would be good to learn about 4 part writing and how it relates from piano to guitar.
Not sure if your a music theory teacher but if not, you should be😎. Something about the way you explain music theory in all your videos that I like.👍. Thanks Brother🍺
A perfectly thrown change up!
Very interesting video! (ok, it's only been posted for 25 seconds. Yet, it is. I bet. And will now figure out how much)
🤣🤣🤣
