You can even take it further by adding more and more chord notes until you end up with these large block chords. Lyle Mays (Pat Metheny's piano player) does this a lot very effectively. However, I find that super octaves are really sufficient for most lines, and they even have a nice clarity to them that avoids over-burdening the melody.
I just happen to be learning to play The Entertainer by Joplin. I think it has the so called super octaves mentioned in this video and those parts are making my fingers strain from the stretching. I'm just a beginner though Btw i love this channel... I learn the most from here than in any other channel. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise in a way that is easy for beginner to grasp, without dumbing down too much
There is so much to learn and enjoy too ... thank you for these lessons... it looks super awesome when u play ... it get difficult for me .... will try my best 🙏🏽 🇮🇳
Great tips! However, my vingers are rather short. It's hard for me to make an octave without also hitting another key. Do you have a tip for making the 'short' octave? I know it's possible and I need to look at the keys of the chords, but I never know which fingers of the chord sounds best? Do you know what I mean? :p
MangoldProject with difficulty. i understand the difference between an octave and a super octave. But my teacher somethimes showed me how to play the melody with two keys but he didn't do octaves because my hands were too small. Do you know another technique?
Are there any tips for playing 61 note ( and perhaps smaller ) keyboards that can make the keyboardist sound fuller and about as musical as though they were playing a 76 note or 88 note board?
Nothing in particular comes to mind, but a 61 note keyboard should give you a pretty good range. I'd assume that maybe transposing an octave lower and, if you're not bound to a particular scale, learn to play in non C major scales ;) (that lets you try to climb "up" or "down" and test fullness vs muddiness)
Sadly, I'm limited to only the power of super octaves... however, legend speaks of tell that only the greatest can reach, the mega octave (+2) or as some refer to it, the terror of the E... duh duh daa!!! edit: I just realized, I could've made a Dragonball Z joke...
Hey, been watching your videos for a few months now and Im having trouble doing wide voicing of chords such as this when you play octaves and play either the 3rd or 5th too. It makes me hand/wrist/forearm really sore. Like Im trying to learn journey - don't stop believing and the right hand constantly has stretched out right hand voicings and my hand etc hurts after like not even 10m.. Any tips?
In the meantime do you have any specific videos out on your youtube channel that you would recommend with exercises to prepare my hands to play comfortably in this style ? Of course, I can try this video's contents for a little bit everyday to build up strength but perhaps you can recommend another, in addition to this video?
These are great! Thank you very much. I love your channel by the way, I especially like your chord exercise video going through the circle of 4ths (or circle of 5ths backwards)
Actually super octaves don't really work well with the left hand! This is because as we play lower and lower notes, most musical intervals (except for octaves) sound muddy. A "super octave" means adding the third which just doesn't sound good, at least to most people (try playing a C chord - C, E, G - in the middle of the piano, and then at one of the lowest octaves).

I love this channel. Well explained, brief and effective tutorial.
This is an amazing tutorial. The way you described super octaves make so much sense-it's easy! Thank you, sir.
Wow cool Piano lesson ! Thank you 💪🏼
Famous swedish rockgroup: Jurgenburgen. :) I like it

ohhh.. that chord in A is exactly the intro for Chiquittita of ABBA!
Super! Your are a great teacher, with an amazing wide stretch between fingers...
That's nothing. Some people can stretch from Eb to G an octave above it.
@@MangoldProject That's unthinkable. Just a thought: How about a lesson on maneuvering wide stretches on the keyboard for small-handed people?
this shows how magical is piano!
Yep! Something I began doing myself as I wanted a FULLER sound for rather simple melody lines.
Thank you bro. My pop production will sound even crazier now.
There is so much to learn and enjoy too ... thank you for these lessons... it looks super awesome when u play ... it get difficult for me .... will try my best 🙏🏽 🇮🇳
Very nicely explained.
Thank you sir, you made it so simple!
Useful tutorial. Thank you for uploading it.
You're welcome! I hope it inspired you to play and explore.
I like the way you teach sir!

Can you do regular octaves?
MangoldProject with difficulty. i understand the difference between an octave and a super octave. But my teacher somethimes showed me how to play the melody with two keys but he didn't do octaves because my hands were too small. Do you know another technique?
This video earned you another subscriber :)
Welcome aboard.
Thanks 😁
good stuff. thanks.
As usual something new. Thanks for superoctaves:)

Gotta see a concert of famous rock group Jurgenburgen now . I think he is the piano player .
Not as good as flurbershpringel.

edit: I just realized, I could've made a Dragonball Z joke...
which piano is this ?
I love the song you played. What's the title?
No title, just an improv.
Alright. Thanks.
can anybody tell me how pianist create melody sound with Chord only..?
Hold on is this applicable to inversions too. ? Please help
It could. For example, 2nd inversion! (so, E G C E for C major goes to E G E)
@@MangoldProject woww Thankyou so much !
What is the formal name of superoctaves?
There isn't any, as far as I know.
Hey, been watching your videos for a few months now and Im having trouble doing wide voicing of chords such as this when you play octaves and play either the 3rd or 5th too. It makes me hand/wrist/forearm really sore.
Like Im trying to learn journey - don't stop believing and the right hand constantly has stretched out right hand voicings and my hand etc hurts after like not even 10m.. Any tips?
Yeah. Don't do it. Find something else that's challenging. Come back in a several months.
In the meantime do you have any specific videos out on your youtube channel that you would recommend with exercises to prepare my hands to play comfortably in this style ? Of course, I can try this video's contents for a little bit everyday to build up strength but perhaps you can recommend another, in addition to this video?
You can take a look at some of my other right hand exercises:

These are great! Thank you very much. I love your channel by the way, I especially like your chord exercise video going through the circle of 4ths (or circle of 5ths backwards)
Harder to do than it looks !
How to transform the pitch( like F major to some other majors) in between the songs?
John Nixon learn the tones in each key and establish all the thirds found
@2:06
What keyboard do you play on?
Ora mudeng aq mas...
I am 9 years old and I can barely make a 10 note with one hand on the piano. ( only left hand for some reason)
Come back when you're 13 :)
3:04
Great. But ehy, I already suscribed to that band. :/
When you have little hands…
Maybe, but small hands don't stop you from being a great piano player! Try watching Michael Pettruciani videos and then commenting about small hands.
:D:D are you kidding me? Super octaves :D:D so hard.. really.. Get skill first, then post :)
Just use a 4' or a 2' or even a 16' stop
This is for piano ...
super octaves left hand..........
Actually super octaves don't really work well with the left hand! This is because as we play lower and lower notes, most musical intervals (except for octaves) sound muddy. A "super octave" means adding the third which just doesn't sound good, at least to most people (try playing a C chord - C, E, G - in the middle of the piano, and then at one of the lowest octaves).
Can you go slower when you play?
Bro at that point just play the entire major chord
That's not always desirable. It might have too full a sound, and often sounds awkward when being planed.
Harder to do than it looks !
@Enescu sorry, my mistake. Duplicated in error
