    Omg thank you! This was the wall I hit on playing the piano. I know all the chords/notes but never really understood how soloing works! Halfway through the video and you solved my problem. 🙏

    Very good lesson ! I wonder how many young people take advantage of people on TH-cam like yourself, that are willing to help people learn. In 1970, when I was 14 yrs old, I couldn't find a soul anywhere to teach me to play piano by ear ! The people that knew how, didn't want to help you. Luckily, I finally found one man and I was the only student he ever had. His son(Tony Brown was playing piano for The Oak Ridge Boys then Elvis and is now a record producer. I think youtube and folks like yourself are a real blessing ! Thanks !

    Nice to see you back. Your lessons are some of the best. I've had your page not only bookmarked but open for years waiting for you to move away from CDs. It was the only thing keeping me from buying. The new site and online products are great. I can finally purchase. It would be great if you could also continue tips on TH-cam regularly.

    hey, I love your tutorials I was just wondering of you could make a tutorial on what to play in the right hand because I have got the ear to know which chords to play for a song but would love to learn to play those small little right-hand stuff that you play that just it so much better.
    thanks in advance.

  • @xakirazu14
    @xakirazu14 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    When I go for the tension, is it always going to be the fourth chord of every scale?

    • @GospelFrancis
      @GospelFrancis 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Not necessarily. In this video, if we take the D scale, the fourth chord is G and the tension chord is actually F#m (inversion). If we take the G scale, the fourth chord is C and the tension is on Bm (inversion). Usually a tension chord can be a diminished chord. For eg, in G scale, try playing the following run.. G D Eb dim Em

  • @frabajille
    @frabajille 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks a lot!! A question for you, imagine we are on the C scale, so I start with C chord and do sus2, then I go to Em chord and do sus2 also; well that chord will include F# which is not part of the C scale, so would sound weird. So in this case this would be a chord that I couldn't really transform to a SUS2 if I am on the C scale?? or do it anyway?
    thanks
