I was playing around with the first chord progression and patterns, and my husband asked me what song I was playing! I was so excited, because I’ve always only played what’s on the page, so to be able to play around with chords and make something that sounds so pretty is pretty amazing.
You really make learning to practice and play the piano a joy - mire fun than effort or work! I can’t bring myself to ✋ stop! Thanks for your ✨ sparkle, patience, and generosity. of spirit and time. HAPPY VALENTINES DAY❣️
I played piano for 10 years. But I was never taught chords etc. A travesty, I now know. But here I am years later after college with 4 kids and I would nearly cry every time I heard a piano. I missed playing. But I knew getting back into meant lots of frustration with what I had forgotten as well as frustration at what I was never taught. But. Your videos are a balm for the discouraged soul. I am so encouraged and excited about learning again. Thank you!!
I start learning right after Christmas last year, because of you, I am able to play 3 classic music and most beautiful Chords Progression, you are such good teacher, thank you very much.
really great lesson to watch again and again great service indeed to the music world that madam you and team pianote is doing for every music enthusiast. keep going and god bless !
I love Lisa's cheerful personality and her approach to teaching.,. I too, am a 43 year old beginner. This is for you Mr. Sutton.. you are a true testament to hope and inspiration
You shine! Beautiful you! I've learned so much from your videos! I'm unstoppable now....you've taught me the dynamics and principles of piano playing I'm no longer stuck on reading sheets anymore! This is a great accomplishment for me! Infinity thanks!
Lisa: Always 💙 your lessons - educational/informative, useful, challenging but presented @ a comfortable pace, and your friendly/personable nature comes thru👍. You are a gifted 🎹 teacher👏.
Love this lesson on patterns but could not find the notes so had to repeat the video so many times to take notes with pattern an fingering. Love to follow Lisa.
Really cool lesson! What i really like is that you show us your mistakes without feeling ashamed. It reminds me that we are not perfect and all make mistakes! 🙂
I love love this Thanks for all your patience It"s really easy to follow along It almost feels like i am having live lessons How you understand the needs of piano learners is just amazing Someday you will see what a piano player has been born in me from teaching skills incredible
As a beginner, I found this very doable, and can progress step by step....with a bit more practice. Now I can handle it with great satisfactory. Thanks very much for sharing this beautiful chord progression🥰👍👏 Please have more of this and benefit beginner like us😄😂
I am a perfectionist and have never learned anything that felt relaxing while learning however, piano relaxes me through the pain of learning and imperfection! I like that you laugh when you make a mistake and just carry on, I laugh too which I can't believe because as I said, learning is serious business too me!
I’m no where near as talented as you but I enjoy your videos and even if I make mistakes while playing I keep going! Mistakes an all sorta get lost in the music letting my mind get carried away speeding up the notes chords blocks or breaking them up slow them down and just find something creative. Thank you for making these videos
Hi Lisa!! Excellent lesson. 2 great lessons this week, referring to playing like Ray Charles. We need more tutorials like this one with the broken chord patterns. :-)))
You are adorable. It was hard to choose but I guess pattern 5 was my favorite. They were all so beautiful. I created some random patterns of my own. Thank you for this.
take your music to new heightS....LISA... Concentration means focused attention, and it has many uses and benefits. It assists in studying, enables faster comprehension, improves the memory, helps in focusing on a task, job or goal, and enables you to ignore meaningless and irrelevant thoughts. This of course, can assist you in achieving goals and in acting more efficiently.
What would I like to see.... Hmm. Maybe you can provide a sensible order for becoming proficient with chords. Should a student start in C and learn all of the shapes and the derived inversions, or try to learn one chord position (I, ii, iii, etc) at a time, in all 12 scales?
Lisa. To my knowledge nobody has ever done a piano tutorial on Roy Orbison,s shahdaroba.. can it be played on piano as it is a guitar piece with an unusual strum pattern, are you up for a challenge????? One of my wife's favourite pieces and I would love to be able to play this for her
A "C major" chord is always C, E, and G. In any vertical order, so it's still a C major chord if it's E, G, C or G, C, E. That's its definition. If you play F, A, and C, in any vertical order, that's an F major chord. Does that help?
😂😂 you know people’s taste.. tease a bit for that and then give it to them with so much love.. I am a guitarist, and it took 1.5 years to understand what I was actually playing while on piano it’s visible from the first day.. amazing experience, loving the piano. So blessed to have you as teacher.
I agree. I’m also a guitarist. Music theory is so much easier to learn/understand on the piano. It’s all laid out in front of you in an understandable way. Plus, songwriting is easier/different on piano as opposed to guitar. On guitar you get stuck in all your usual patterns and riffs. Sometimes I’ll write on the piano, and then transfer it to guitar... or the other way around. You can end up with some interesting songs. 🎸🎹🤘🏼
It's really hard to play D, F and B cord because my hands are a bit small or I'm playing it with the wrong fingers. Is there any easy way to play these notes?
which hand? for right hand, (lowest to highest) d f b should be 1 2 5. f b d and b d f should be 1 3 5. For left hand d f b and b d f should be 1 3 5, and f b d should be 1 2 5.if these don't work, you hands are astronomically small.
I do not know English Songs. I want to learn and apply chords to Indian Film songs. I have been playing keyboard for more than 20 years now. How can you help?
When i am practicing my chord inversions and progressions it seams like the chords lead me I feel as if i have no control over my chord progression lol
You are the most adorable piano teacher I’ve ever seen! If I was a kid and you were my piano teacher I would be mesmerized; I would practice so hard just to earn your smiles!
What I love the most in your video is the sweetness of your voice and gesture. Learning piano and relaxing in the same time 🤗.... If only I could have had a piano teacher like you when I was a child
Omg! So beautiful and so easy! (And I’m a beginner. 😁 Ordered a portable keyboard yesterday and will practice EVERY DAY! ). Thank you SO MUCH for all you give us! 🥰)
Now this is my type of lesson. Not an overwhelming amount of information, but a focus on very useful concepts. I like the finger dexterity challenges and the extra tips to personalize it. Thanks for sharing. You are a very good, down-to-earth instructor. :-)
I must say first Lisa, that you are compellingly beautiful. Second, your lessons are excellent for me, a many years long beginner. I'm definitely a more visual learner, so the demonstrations fall perfectly into my learning abilities. Of course, watching you perform the demonstrations is a huge bonus. Your joy and enthusiasm shine through, your smiles, chuckles and manner of presentation that feels like you are sitting here or I'm sitting there are priceless. Thanks for the it all.
if she was your teacher in real life, when you first met her would you say "I must say Lisa, that you are compellingly beautiful"? or do you think that would be a bit weird?
You are Phenomenal and a Beautiful Spirit. Have just started checking out your videos. You explain things so well and are so very patient. I feel supported through your nurturing powerful ways of teaching. Thank you!!! What a Gift you are
This is a great lesson. I love all the lessons you do around fun practice exercises and ways to improvise for a beginner. I'm not a beginner player, but definitely a beginner when it comes to improvisation and this frustrates me. You really broke it down. Can't wait to play with this some more.
Lovely! I’ve got plenty to practice now, and I only got halfway through the lesson. It sounds so beautiful though, that it will be easy to put in the practice. Thank you, Lisa!
Wow, since we are using those patterns, it almost sounds like the pattern for The Greatest Showman, Rewrite the stars...maybe a lesson on that song would be great! I know it's probably have a few flats in the song.
I actually found the first part of this a lot easier than i imagined because luckily i know a variation of this chord progression from a Beyonce track i learnt the basic Chord progression to a while back. Thanks for these tutorials they're such a big help and really clear to understand
A great lesson! I like it because it keeps me interested and practicing. I like when i start flowing smoothly through each pattern because it relaxes me. You look nice in those colors because it looks like you just came back from vacation from a sunny place. Thanks for making piano easy and FUN!
I very recently (like within the past week) taught myself to play Moon River like this. I had the chords, so I played the chords on top while I did broken chords in the left hand and it honestly sounds super pretty so I'm happy with it, haha.
I am watching this in 2021 and man I absolutely loved this lesson. Lisa always makes the lessons so easy to follow and fun to practice. It has really helped grow exponentially in my creativity and playing ability as a musician. Thank you so so much. Much love and Stay Blessed🙇🏿♂️ PS: I think having a live stream broadcast that will display the diverse talent Pianote has nurtured...Would be amazing🤯💯
This story may be a bit long - but then again, maybe it will speak to someone else. What would I like to see - even on your website? Lessons on how to pace myself to get proficient with learning all the chords in a chart and improvising the melody. I don’t want to pay TH-cam a monthly fee to download a few charts. Quite frankly, I would rather pay Pianote. I am a flutist who loves to improvise. I’ll play again in church whenever it’s safe for the band to play in our small space. I have had enough lessons on jazz theory recently to be fascinated with the logic how the 7 notes and 12 scales fit together. This pandemic has caused some mental shift for me. I realized, even after playing in flute choirs and bands for 40+ years on and off, I realized I wasn’t loving the flute, and I always thought learning the piano was beyond my capability. Then I saw an email from you where you showed the fingering - thumb under technique - for playing the C scale. I bumbled myself through getting coordinated, then realized - I can do this! I’ve checked out piano lessons through TH-cam, subscription ads, etc., and continue to come back to you. So I upgraded my keyboard, bought an 88 key digital piano - thank you for your reviews - put aside the flute, and have become fascinated with learning the piano. My interest is improvisation - and jazz. I want to be able to learn the chords in charts, and I want to take a song - classical, pop, 50s jazz, my own song, whatever - add a jazz flavor and improvise the tune with an acceptable left hand - with a chord chart. I am moving through David Reed’s Improvise for Real courses - and love them. When I asked him about what fingers to use when playing chords with his tonal center logic, he suggested I look online for traditional piano lessons. I immediately turned to you. Many of your videos have been very helpful; others are over my head right now. Learning charts instead of learning how to read bass clef is my direction. Can you help? Thanks so much!
Awesome lessons from a great teacher! I have been watching, practicing and learning a lot! Thank you for enriching people's lives. I play the guitar for my church's choir but always wanted to learn the piano. These lessons make it easier than traditional classes and help save a lot of time. God bless!

Hi Lisa!! Excellent lesson. 2 great lessons this week, referring to playing like Ray Charles. We need more tutorials like this one with the broken chord patterns. :-)))

Hi, teacher! The chord progressions you play are really beautiful! Can I use it as the beginning of my song? Because I’m going to write a song 🤓
Anoother really helpful lesson from Lisa.
Love it, enjoyed every minute, even when the duracell was running out haha. seriously enjoyed every second!!
You are adorable. It was hard to choose but I guess pattern 5 was my favorite. They were all so beautiful. I created some random patterns of my own. Thank you for this.
That's exactly why we made this vid!!
Loved all the patterns....!!!! Thank you so much guys 🧡

Wow really amazing and useful 🙏🏼😀 Thank You
Glad it was helpful!
@Soulful Notes Thank You...I would love to see it...
Whoa! That was hard but so much fun.
thank you im still learning
Lisa. To my knowledge nobody has ever done a piano tutorial on Roy Orbison,s shahdaroba.. can it be played on piano as it is a guitar piece with an unusual strum pattern, are you up for a challenge?????
One of my wife's favourite pieces and I would love to be able to play this for her
so this was a 1-5-6 minor-4 pattern on F major using diatonic chords? is that an accurate description?
Thumbs up
You should add it is in C major plus borrowed chord Bb from c minor...
It´s F major
@Pianote
In the minute 6:09 I note that you are playing the chord C using (E-G-C), why did we skipped a note?!
Shouldn’t it be (C-A-F)?!
Thank u
Actually until minute 7:00 I note that we r skipping notes (B&D) with our right hand
A "C major" chord is always C, E, and G. In any vertical order, so it's still a C major chord if it's E, G, C or G, C, E. That's its definition. If you play F, A, and C, in any vertical order, that's an F major chord. Does that help?

Can we use these patterns in our music recordings? Any copyrights involved? Thank you for the beautiful notes.
*KIndly make a video course on full piano course step by step*
Does anybody else hear the groans everytime a new section of the video starts ?
same, scared me for a sec i thought i was hearing things lol
Yeah, had to hit the replay multiple times to be sure it wasn't my breathing lol
Me too, lol. I had to replay to make sure it wasn't someone outside of my window. It's quite late as I'm watching this. Lol!
thank you for confirming I'm not going mad, like WTF is this weird groan sound 😯
Hellow please I want to know more how to play keyboard now I know few code example minor,major and dimished
It's really hard to play D, F and B cord because my hands are a bit small or I'm playing it with the wrong fingers. Is there any easy way to play these notes?
which hand? for right hand, (lowest to highest) d f b should be 1 2 5. f b d and b d f should be 1 3 5. For left hand d f b and b d f should be 1 3 5, and f b d should be 1 2 5.if these don't work, you hands are astronomically small.

Wow, since we are using those patterns, it almost sounds like the pattern for The Greatest Showman, Rewrite the stars...maybe a lesson on that song would be great! I know it's probably have a few flats in the song.
I dont even know that one! Checking it out!
I actually found the first part of this a lot easier than i imagined because luckily i know a variation of this chord progression from a Beyonce track i learnt the basic Chord progression to a while back. Thanks for these tutorials they're such a big help and really clear to understand
