  • People want to know, “what do I play on the right hand to make it sound beautiful?” I’m here to tell you. 😎 Improvising a beautiful melody does not have to be complicated, and you don’t have to have years of experience to try this.
    We are going to play a simple chord progression in our left hand, staying in the key of A minor. The progression will be: Am F G Em. We’ll just play fifths in the bass.

      Dear Pianote,what notes can I play(solo)over chord progression, do I have to play the same as the chord , for instance if the key is C major , the first chord is ceg, does my solo notes have to include ceg, thanks Gary

    I worked in the music department of a college. I was overwhelmed and discouraged by how incredibly difficult music theory classes seemed. Also the severity and strictness of hand placement and drills etc. Long story short i have been painting for 23 years now, Eventhough it was my childhood dream to learn the piano. I am so grateful to have discovered you. I guess better late than never. I wish i had had you for all of my classes growing up. I love the humility and the grace with which you share and teach what you know. "If you dont like how it sounds just move on". That is awesome! We could apply that principle in so many other areas of our life. Thanks to you and your beautiful, simple, playful manner, a childhood dream may finally come true. Please do not stop showing us new things and new ways of exploring. I bought myself a decent keyboard and im ready to learn from someone who truly knows how to teach and to convey. Thank you for making learning fun. Life and all of its burdens and trials are hard enough. You are a refreshment! God Bless You!!!!!

  • @dtdmusic6462
    @dtdmusic6462 4 ปีที่แล้ว +16

    This is my favorite chord progression, i've been using this since i started composing in epic music and even it's a simple chord you can build thousands of wonderful dramatic melodies. Also you explain this in such a beautiful way that makes me continue on this again :-).

  • @ionatanstrateanu2347

    This channel deserve a lot more attention, they present the concepts in a simple understandable way without makes you feel dumb. I’ve been self taught and playing for about a year and could never really find any videos that really explained improvisation. Though i took some lessons they only taught note reading which is nice but i wanted a deeper understanding. Thank you Very Much keep doing what your doing!

    I love watching your videos I bought a keyboard thinking I'd just use it as a way to relax and take up sometime. Didn't think I would be able to learn chords that fit well together. From improving though and watching your videos of just practicing and feeling the music is magic and I learn new things each time I play and it is becoming clearer and I can eventually make my own melodies for songwriting. Brilliant videos keep up the great tutorials. 🙂
