Im grateful to GOD for guiding me to your channel during covd I taught myself piano I tried to watch other ppl n channel but you were the only one that helped me to understand and slow enought to get and keep moving and learning ❤ may God Bless you all and everyone watching
I'm not sure what amazes me more: how easily you explained the chordsystem or how great your voice fits with that song. I would really love to hear more worship music from you!
When you sang the song, my spirit felt calm and free. Your voice is so beautiful. Thanks, for making it so simple to understand chord playing. Love ❤️ your videos.
Me too, Lisa your doing great you’ve helped me learn a lot. Love your Voice it just makes me go into a new world and even forget of what’s happening where I’m at! ❤️💕
Hmmm... interesting. I always thought it denoted an inversion... So the normal G chord is G-B-D and I would play G/B as B-D-G, which is the 1st inversion.
I am 65 and taking on the piano again after many years of laziness.... You are a Joy 😂. Thank you for sharing your giftedness and letting us see the light in you that brightens each of your lessons.... 😊 😃
It's been 2 years since I've started to pick up the Piano due to the lockdowns and your videos still inspire me to play more and I've grown so much. Thank you very very much for teaching me the past years and giving me something to distract me with
I found your channel because my husband's family wants to have a Christmas hymn sing and I'm the only one with a piano. I've played guitar in church since youth group days, so the chords look familiar on paper. Thank you so much for breaking it down to basic fundamentals that are transferrable to all keys and easing the pressure! God bless you, sister! ❤
I am only 10 years old and I already know how to play piano. I only know how to play piano because of you, I love the way you feel about piano it makes me so happy when i play or you teach me how you play chords,scales etc. I also did the 5 day free piano lessons. Anyone who has just started i would recommend Lisa Witt she is so kind and she is so slow so you don't even have to pause the video. I love your music so much take care xxx
I love how you just added a Sus2 chord in the last 5 seconds of the tutorial and it was like “ohh, just do this and this, and there you have it”. You make things so easy to comprehend Lisa!
One of my favourite worship songs of all time darlin lubly. Your enthusiasm is contagious..I worship lead with guitar for many years but the piano is simply another dimension stupendous. Your tuition is soooo helpful luv you in Christ gray xxx
Self taught guitarist, I reverse engineered the counting thing on piano a few years ago. Thank-you for clearing up some of the ambiguity! My wife has a few grades in the flute - we’ve been trying to get a little more (practical) music theory on piano during COVID lockdown for use at church. Loving these videos - keep them coming, and look forward to meeting you on the other side!
Best ever! This makes piano easier than guitar. My biggest problem with guitar is that I want to be my own bass player. It's not that I haven't known this for decades, it's rather the way you tell it that caused the wheels to ratchet up in my mind. I have been reading from chord charts and using melodic memory to create new arrangements and write songs for decades. Your explanation put learning and improvising on piano EXACTLY how I understand music on guitar. It has been a stumbling block for me for my entire musical life. It's like taking a car you have loved for years and then rebuilding it with the perfect balance of go, turn, stop and style. It's still me, but it's MORE me. Thank you, Lisa.
I only bother with the 4:3, and for minors, just move the 3 down a half step. If you look at everything from how they are a major chord modified, it's really pretty easy to master quickly.
I just want to say thank you for sharing your gift! I have watched several of your videos after subscribing to a couple of "Learn Piano" services. I am 60 years old and decided to learn piano during the pandemic. Your lessons are so simple and concise and your personality is charming and contagiuous! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
There are tons of tunes that use the variation of 1,5,6,4 but minor the 6th....thanks for your time and sharing your knowledge to the younger ones!!! Much love!!!
Lisa I want to thank you. I have been chording and playing melody by ear on the piano for a couple of years now. I am originally a guitar player. Your courses have helped me understand a lot of things I didn’t before. So thank you so much and God bless. I am also a minister so you have helped me a lot . Thank you
I LIKE how you curve "ohuow my soul " I dont know if any one noticed..... And you know, after your explanation I thought I was gonna race on the piano in no time 🤗😃..... I like how you trick our brains too Ms. amazing curver. God bless you and stay happy 😁
@Lisa, you have a lovely natural singing voice, yet when you play something where you have a natural tendency to sing, you almost shy away and lower your voice. I know of people that are totally the opposite, try to sing and they either do not have a note in their head or ruin their singing by bellowing at the top of their vocal range spoiling their singing. You sing as gracefully as you play and that is a real treasure, to be able to sing and play at the same time is very challenging, yet very rewarding for a natural and gifted artist. :)
🇳🇬 Ma'am, I'm a beginner (learning for 10 months now), so as i was watching this and i began to follow, i went straight to my piano, playing along, it sounds really good and completely different from the way i v'e been playing my own "BLESS THE LORD OH MY SOUL" and i love it, thank you ma, i just learnt something new. But my question (coming as a beginner) : 1: On which key did you play ma? (sounds like Key G, i v'e been looking for the key for a while but i just ended up playing what you played and it's sounds amazing and so melodious) It sounds so different from how i v'e been playing and learning on Key C with the following chords: Fmaj, Cmaj, Gmaj, Fmaj, Cmaj, Amin, Gmaj. 2: As a Novice, i can only use major chords, so the question is how do i apply these minor and sus chord you just played if really you didn't play on key C? Thanks for the Opportunity ma.
Thank you!! I have searched everywhere for a tutorial like this. I was SO happy when I stumbled upon your newly listed video. Very helpful. You explain things so simply. It's encouraging, especially for beginners.
Thank you Lisa for explaining the formula for Major / Minor chords 🙂. Whenever I saw a chord other than the basic C, G, F, D.... I started to stress because I have to go to your E-Book with all the chords to see how to play that specific chord. Now I know. Ok, I know there are Diminished chords and others, but I'm not concentrating too much on those now. I'm only playing for almost 3 months now, and I still have loads to learn or master from all the info that I have at the moment 😊
Really great explanation there! One thing to add: I saw an E minor in there. In order to play ANY minor chord, you just move your middle finger down a half step. So instead of counting up 4 half steps you count up 3. So the half steps end up being 3 then 4 instead of 4 then 3.
I've been playing the piano since I was 9 years old (classically trained, too) and pretty good at site reading. Love the simplicity of reading charts! Thanks for sharing.
Excellent. I have played sight reading nut ever by chords because they are hard for me to understand until today. I am b grinning to understand with your simple, reachable explanations. Thank you so much. Will continue. And will recommend too.
The version I know, in a traditional hymn (I have heard the one you're singing too, but not in church): Bless the Lord, oh my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name. (Repeat) For he hath done great things, Hallelujah! He hath done great things, Hallelujah! He hath done great things, bless his holy name.
Awesome stuff. I'm a late bloomer. Picked up piano 2 years now because our church needed a keyboardist. Still feel behind because I'm more or less self taught...But your videos have been a God send.
Thank you so much for your very clear, well explained, and motivating lessons! Very glad to know that you too are Christian. Thanks and God bless you, sister.
I love your piano lessons. I already can chord a bit, but find it doesn't sound as good as I want it too. I believe I need fillers. I love church music, and that is my utmost goal. I wished your lessons were numbered so I can follow along. Thanks again.
Wow ! I got excited watching you getting excited about the "Em chord", yay! And the video was really helpful. Simple and easy! I would never complete the video without liking the video. Thanks~ . Plus you're really a greater singer, soothing along with the beautiful chords.
Your enthusiasm is incredibly contagious. Though I'm mainly a drummer, this will definitely be my source of learning piano in the future. Keep the content going!
You are the most fabulous teacher and make it so understandable. I recommend to all your fabulous website for learning...it is the best I have come upon thus far. I look forward to more videos on church music. Thank-you!
You are amazing. I'm so glad I found your channel. You explain things so easily and fun, that I wish I could take piano lessons from you in person. Thank you for making these video lessons.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I have always wanted to learn to play the keyboard and your videos are the best to understand. I appreciate that you take to time not just to explain it but to show the proper way of doing it.
You are definitely a very good teacher. I want to learn piano but I don't have it yet. Just preparing myself. Thank you sooooo much for teaching the besic things. 😊 So much love ❤️ from India 🇮🇳
Hi Lisa! I think you and Pianote should start an intermediate piano playing TH-cam channel. This channel is great for beginners, but I think a lot of people would like to have you guys start an intermediate piano channel. Just an idea. :)
I suggest you to learn chord scales of major & minor. Learn the fundamentals first then ... Practice learning hand fingerings and techniques ... When you're all set explore new goals to keep yourself motivated.
If you already know scales then use l - lV - V Chords it always work on Gospel songs, after you are use to l - lV - V Chords you can use Vl, Vll and dominant 7th as well
Your videos are so simple and easy to track with, I have just started teaching myself to play and your videos are exactly what I need! Ps you are a stunning human who is always radiating!
It was really useful. I always encountered sus without really knowing what it was so I had to look the chords up every time. But now I will practice them to remember them. Thank you❤
Very helpful video, thanks! I've just started playing at church despite not having lessons in over 15 years. I will look through your other videos to see if I can get any tips for arpeggio patterns etc.

I'm not sure what amazes me more: how easily you explained the chordsystem or how great your voice fits with that song. I would really love to hear more worship music from you!
Aw thanks! Our most recent video is a tutorial for 3 worship songs: th-cam.com/video/PhvekiYVzBQ/w-d-xo.html
I find it easier to just memorize the fingering for each chord.
When you sang the song, my spirit felt calm and free. Your voice is so beautiful. Thanks, for making it so simple to understand chord playing. Love ❤️ your videos.
I second this
Very helpful.... thank you.... Mam.. 👍👍
Yes we ❤️ to watch ur sessions and teachings thank you very much 👍👍
Me too, Lisa your doing great you’ve helped me learn a lot. Love your Voice it just makes me go into a new world and even forget of what’s happening where I’m at! ❤️💕
Yes she does have a beautiful voice
Oh also, if anyone is wondering, if you ever see something like "G/B", that means it is a G chord with a B note in the bass (i.e. left hand)
Thank you!
Thanks! We also have a lesson on those chords here: th-cam.com/video/2X2FMVe9YWM/w-d-xo.html
Hmmm... interesting. I always thought it denoted an inversion... So the normal G chord is G-B-D and I would play G/B as B-D-G, which is the 1st inversion.
@@vladyslavkamynin8121 yeah often it is an inversion
Yeah I used to think the same thing.
You really are a gifted teacher. Anyone can tell, you really enjoy what your doing.
I am 65 and taking on the piano again after many years of laziness.... You are a Joy 😂. Thank you for sharing your giftedness and letting us see the light in you that brightens each of your lessons.... 😊 😃

I recollect somewhere while I was told simply to think 4:3 for major Chords and reverse it to 3:4 for minor chords. It was a real thing not to forget.
I only bother with the 4:3, and for minors, just move the 3 down a half step. If you look at everything from how they are a major chord modified, it's really pretty easy to master quickly.
You're an amazing pianist and teacher! And this is the 1st time I've heard your voice and it's GORGEOUS!! You're so talented!

Can you please do a video on passing chords? They add so much richness to a simple chord progression! Thx
Yess
Lucas Fonseca thanks Lucas 🥰 looking forward to learning!
