This is so interesting. Please do a video about modulating to closely related keys. I can't get a decent explanation of this on youTUbe. Brilliant lessons you are making here. Love the chanell
Thank you very much, it is depressing though to think how much time it will take to play with your fluency 🙂 Don't shoot, I have another question for notation 🙂 8:50 I found out those slashes mean "play something". Do I guess correctly that with addition of the chords, the first measure means "play 4 times C chord in any inversion"? You play too fast to digest it from the video alone 🙂 Could it be also arpeggiated, so for example playing "c" (single note), then "e", and then "g" would count as three slashes in the first measure?
I really appreciate your questions, it shows you have a desire to learn! Don't let yourself be overwhelmed with how much there is to learn, or how long it may take to develop fluency at the keyboard. I've been playing piano for over 53 years, and even then, it took me some time to develop my technique, and I'm still seeking to improve. Yes, the slashes do mean "play something" and you are given a great deal of freedom as to what to play. A lot of it depends on whether you are playing as a soloist, or with another musician, or as part of a band. What I played in the video was just to demonstrate the chord progression, and not really to show you what to play. (That could be the subject of another video!)
It’s lovely that borrowed chords brings so much of color vocabulary. Can’t wait next video. Beautifully explained
Thank you for your kind words.
An entire course on borrowed chords…great idea! 🙏🏼
Thank you for your positive feedback!

Thank you for your kind words. I did a video on modulation a while back, but I can certainly return to this subject.
House of the Rising Sun has lots of borrowed chords. Well, only two, the IV and V chords from the parallel major, but it uses them a lot.
Good observation.
