I am a classical, professional musician for 15 years now and I was searching for a way to teach my daughter playing the piano in a simple and easy way to have fun, because she was bored of learning notes and chordes, when I found your videos. Let me say , I am impressed by the way you explain the harmonic stuff without getting complicated, but still producing a nice bright sound. Thank you!
This is great, Jack. One thing you guys could do is to include the name of the chord, just so we can understand what you're adding and how it "feels", it'd help also when transposing to other tonalities. But this is great, mate!
You pretty much sold me on the Nord Electro 6d and just received it. And I can't even play for ****, barely know what a C chord is. Love the videos Jack you're an inspiration! Cheers
Ha ha ha, what a great approach. You play the root and the 3 with one finger in the left and the thumb, and then add some flavor with the sus2 on top, which means always a different voicing for the chords. Nice one 👍
Im a guitarist that is picking up piano and booyyy I got to tell you... Jack Duxbry is a gem. Dude you are insane. Thank you for being such a wonderful person!
Hands down the best beginner piano lessons I've ever come across, I literally stumbled across lesson 1, watched lesson 2, bought a Numa Compact 2 and all of a sudden I'm in love with keyboards again for the first time since the late 80's. Jack you absolutely hit the nail on the head with giving everyone the opportunity to make music right from day one without having to slog through endless repeats of nursery rhyme tunes and boring scales. Wonderful stuff!
Amazing "quick and dirty" tricks as you put it. But it really does make it easy to produce lovely chords in a very easy fashion. Thanks a bunch, Jack and Andertons!
Dude, this was the first key lesson, I have watched from start to end! Impressive! I will teach my 6 year old and I will investigate further. This content was simply amazing👍🏻 Can you please explain in an extra video the theory behind it?
This is wonderfully taught. So many possibilities came to mind as I listened. I would like to know a little theory behind the methods to further understand. You make it appear much enlightening to play. I’m learning and I will get this!
this is great, exactly what I need to get started learning chords. I understood everything about the chords but just wanted to know how you get the rhythm for the left and right hands.
I really enjoy your lessions and the other videos's! I have a question. What are the chord names which are formed with this technique (in the key of C, like you demonstrated). Thanks!
Hey Jack, what reason do you play the 2nd note usually rather than the 3rd note when you play your C chord? For example you play C/D/G, whereas I would usually play C/E/G for a C chord. Thanks (if anyone else knows please comment).
That s because he plays a Csus2 Chord (in his right hand). A normal major chord has the 1,3,5 note from the C major scale in a major chord: C E G What he plays is a Csus2 by replacing the 3th note to the 2th note. So you get: C D G. That is used to suspense the sound usually to resolve to a major chord (the I chord for example ) in the key.
Hi Jack. I really enjoy your lessons showing keyboard skills. I would like to ask if sometime in the future, you could show some soloing techniques. EG; shredding on a mono synth. Show the correct fingering etc:. Thanks...
Late to the 🎉 ! As an amateur keyboardist in various bands, I had overlooked the series for way too long. Even going back to C major was a revelation. I have my on bag of licks, but that Jack-*ss put the Bad-*ss bag of tricks in order (the squib-squib, the one-thumb embellishments etc.). You’re a live-playing musician dream teacher. I’d have more if you could tackle the minor scale, as this is what’s mostly used in you-look-awful-and-depressed-my-dear rock/New Wave/electro stuff in conjunction with the penta, while neo-soul guys seem to constantly go between major and minor. Keep up with the good fun, Jack-of-all-trade/Master keyboardist.
Hello Jack, Thank you so very much for this series. I had a chance to practice the ideas presented in this lesson. I have two questions about some problems I encountered. First, when I raise my right hand to press the G# with my thumb for the E chord, my index and middle fingers rub against the black keys and make them sound by mistake. How can I get better at keeping these fingers away from the black keys (C# and D#)? Second, in a future video would you please talk about making simple rhythms? I'm used to guitar, where I find it easy to strum a rhythm and change chords. What is the secret to doing this on piano? You are awesome for presenting these lessons!
I have a question for anyone but keyboard that's about $1,000 but you keep playing Neo-Soul with R & B hook up to a MP CX drum machine be kind I'm new to this
If you have the space & money for an 88-keys then we would always recommend that for learning the piano. If you want to just get started on some chords/scales something smaller would do but you might grow out of it quickly.

Jack, I found if you put your thumb in B when playing E in the bass as you walk up(C scale) it's 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is genius. So basically hold a root sus2 chord and muck about in the bass and you can get all the chords in the key. Brilliant!
Please keep doing these Jack and Tay Tay!
From one Taylor to another 😛
This is great, Jack. One thing you guys could do is to include the name of the chord, just so we can understand what you're adding and how it "feels", it'd help also when transposing to other tonalities. But this is great, mate!
legend! im feelin it. much prefer feeling my way through the creative process than reading about it..... all hail jack the preacher man!
Thanks, Jack and Anderton's. This series is so accessible, and I'm sure it's given lots of people the confidence to go play music together.
Glad this series has helped. It's been great to film and loads more on the way!

Well that was excellent! This old dog learned a new trick today. Thanks!
Jack - You are giving so much to so many who are struggling to grasp the many wonders 💓of the 88 Keys 🎹 When in the UK 🇬🇧- I’m buying you a pint 🍺🇺🇸
Wish you were my piano teacher in my early days. Thank you
Wow ! Thanks a lot......now i should be better......greets from germany
Very cool. Now to sound like a piano teacher.... now take that and play it in all 12 keys, see you next week.
Sing more often Jack! Love your voice 👌
Im a guitarist that is picking up piano and booyyy I got to tell you... Jack Duxbry is a gem. Dude you are insane. Thank you for being such a wonderful person!
I am glad to find your Tube channel. Learn a lot as a beginner. Hopefully more in the future. Many thnx.
Thanks and keep it coming. I learned more in 17 minutes, than I've done trying to learn from books in more than 17 years ;-)

Jack is such an awesome presenter and teacher. Thanks for this series.
Your Voice!!! You should show us some more of that because it sounds beautiful!
Amazing "quick and dirty" tricks as you put it. But it really does make it easy to produce lovely chords in a very easy fashion. Thanks a bunch, Jack and Andertons!
Mega! Nice one Jackie boy! 👍🏻
Very nice practical lesson without getting into too much theory.
Dude, this was the first key lesson, I have watched from start to end! Impressive! I will teach my 6 year old and I will investigate further. This content was simply amazing👍🏻 Can you please explain in an extra video the theory behind it?
Amazing stuff, Bro!
Great advice, thanks for the upload! Do you have similar tips/tricks for minor keys?
I think Jack might be an actual genius.
Great lesson Jack. Many thanks. I now believe I can fly!
This guy s the best xD total love
Made me want to learn piano now. Which one should I get to start ??
So good. Thanks
Royal Grand 3d is stunning. Great lesson. 🎉
Thanks for this help :)

Insightful, accessible and... fun!! Jack's a fine nutcase. Thanks and Kudos.
Brilliant. Thanks Jack!
Enjoyed this lesson. Seems easy and sounds great. Cheers Jack and TayTay

Great Jack, love it, your lessons are so musical!! Would be cool to see you teaching us funk rhythm playing...
Very useful, more like this please
very smart 👌 thank you jack!!!
This is freaking awesome dude. 👌 thank you.
Love these lessons Jack, much prefer this approach over 30min of drilling I III IV into the viewer...
this is great, exactly what I need to get started learning chords. I understood everything about the chords but just wanted to know how you get the rhythm for the left and right hands.
Thank you, Jack, for another great tutorial!
I really enjoy your lessions and the other videos's! I have a question. What are the chord names which are formed with this technique (in the key of C, like you demonstrated). Thanks!
Such a fun series, Jack. Love sending these to my keyboard students!
Thanks for tuning in dude! Glad they're helping you & your students.
Yay! This is what I need. 😊

Awesome! Will try this! 😀
Let us know how you get on!
Late to the party, but these lessons are phenomenal. Thank you so much!
Lovin your video's Jack, this was super cool and super useful too, many thanks !
Outstanding lesson. Learned so much from this - thanks.
This is a really great, approachable series. Nice work!
Great playing and you sing darn good too!
Hi Jack. I really enjoy your lessons showing keyboard skills. I would like to ask if sometime in the future, you could show some soloing techniques. EG; shredding on a mono synth. Show the correct fingering etc:. Thanks...
Thanks, that is great!
What an awesome lesson. Thanks so much for doing it.
Glad you liked it!
Magic voicings.
This video was super informative! Thank you so much!
Exciting lessons.luv it bro
It works. It`s magic. Thanks! Keep on!
A great little piano chord hack ;)

Pff.. I am a simple monosynth technoguy. I will never play with more than 2 fingers I guess. But hey. Jack got me like always !! :D
Thank you for ideas! Did you do a video on implementing simple jazz chords into non jazz songs for color?
Nice video! Any chance you'd want to do a video on those cool soul chords?
We've got that one lined up don't worry ;)
@@AndertonsKeyboardDept fack yeah! I ended up getting a polybrute! I loved your videos on it!
Nice one Jack 👍
Thanks 👍

I love it! Thanks for sharing your cheat tricks
Always Martin. Thanks for tuning in!
Has anyone seen a playlist with all of these lesson vids in one place? Can't seem to find them.
They are all here... th-cam.com/play/PLql5qabb8z90hrpGLy8_53JksgzR_elYO.html
@@geoffwebber8272 Thank you!
Happy Birthday 🎉
I have a question for anyone but keyboard that's about $1,000 but you keep playing Neo-Soul with R & B hook up to a MP CX drum machine be kind I'm new to this
You can use the Notes mode in MPC to play specific keys or chords, makes it really easy as it takes care of the music theory for you
When do we get the video on karate-chop piano technique?
If I was going to start playing keyboards tomorrow should I go straight for 88 keys or something smaller?
If you have the space & money for an 88-keys then we would always recommend that for learning the piano. If you want to just get started on some chords/scales something smaller would do but you might grow out of it quickly.
thx
That Duxbury falsetto tho
3:03 G#
"Posh chords" should be taught in music school!
✅❤️
Who's gonna tell Jack about the whole R Kelly thing, huh?
I feel like he invented this so he didn't have to use his ring finger which has a bandage on it
Have a deep interview with people like Daniel Bingham, Polite Mike etc... And pick their mind on how they go about playing piano...
Lesson learned: Buy a Nord 🤣
