The 8 Levels Of Playing Chords On The Piano!

Are you kidding me? The level of effort and time put into this video is insane. Wow. I wish I saw this video when I started out!

The value in this video is crazy! Really wished someone taught this to me in such a compact and easy way to understand, instead of having to figure this stuff out over the course of literal years. Great stuff!!

I love people who are willing to share their knowledge. This eloquently summarized 20 minutes could replace 2 years of music school minus those quirky moments when I had to go back to catch up on what was said while I was laughing. Seeing the beefy texture of music was the highlight of my day....

I love how you explain more advanced playing using language that a beginner can understand. You don’t assume that people already know a lot - you even explain what fifths and octaves are! - yet that doesn’t keep you from covering more complex things. It gives a beginner things to aspire to.

This is the single most valuable piano tutorial video on YouTube. Believe when I say I have watched maybe hundreds by now with the top teachers and this beats out all of them.

1. Triads 0:29 2. Inversions 2:12 3. Bass Notes 5:00 4. Octaves or 5ths 7:45 5. 7th Chords 9:51 6. Extensions 11:20 7. Left Hand Patterns 12:53 8. Right Hand Patterns 17:40

I don't know how to thank you. This video answers so many questions in my mind. I really wanted to understand how music turns rich, why the same song can be played like a novice and like a maestro. This one video answers all questions, wow! It simplified music for me.❤

As a self taught pianist that plays mainly classical I think this will help me be more familiar with improvising as well.

Great job on this video. An amazing amount of work went into doing this. One thing to point out. The extensions are called 9ths, 11ths, and 13ths because that implies there is a 7th in the chord. If there is no 7th, you would call them a 2nd, 4th, or 6th. I know in theory they are very similar, but if I see a C9 chord, I know to include a Bb. If I see a Cadd2, I know there is no 7th in the chord.

Genuinely, this is the best piano tutorial I have ever seen. You filled the exact knowledge gap that's been in my mind for 12 years. Many lessons, many tutorials, many hours. Never have I fully grasped the underlying logic to playing piano, nor did I know how to take my playing to the next level. I can not believe quite how directly you hit the nail on the head with this tutorial. The way you explained all this in one video with such clarity and simplicity has genuinely changed my life. Can't thank you enough

Outstanding! This mght be the most informative video I have ever seen in You Tube! I have seen thousands over the last 15 years. This is like a magician finally revealing to you how the tricks are done, thank you.

I stumbled upon this and thought it will just be like many other such videos where everything starts super simple and then you get totally lost and get no value from it. But this was different, systematically, step by step, things you can try. Thanks a lot for very good education.

Nicely done. I’m self taught from around the age of 3 years old, and seems I’ve been actually doing these things gradually, naturally all my life. I’m blessed with natural playing ability. I don’t read music. I have a great ear. I’ve never really thought about levels but I’ve actually been doing all this throughout my life without even knowing. You just taught me I’m on level 8 I think. This is crazy! Thanks for this video very informative.

This guy deserves way way way more than 44.4k subs! His video on this was amazing, I appreciate how much time he spent on one video! Respect!

Thank you. This is a great lesson and very helpful. Any chance you would consider a short follow up video demonstrating these techniques if we are singing and playing chords in the right hand instead of melody notes? Thanks again.

This is incredible and super super useful, thank you so much!

This might be my favourite video of yours so far but all of them are brilliant. I bought a digital piano 3 weeks ago and content like yours helps me see the light and the end of the tunnel. I’ve consumed so much content like this my knowledge far outweighs my ability but it’s helped me form a road map to follow. Thank you. 😊

What a genious video! As a guitar player and a beginner at piano I'm amazed with how you were able to divide the long journey on piano like this. Congratulations, SuperB job!

Wow. such a simple way to explain complex information. Great job. You teach such a volume of music quickly that others take hours and make it hard and confusing. Such clarity. Thanks.

As a complete beginner this was eye opening and extremely inspirational! Great info and examples with perfect editing. Pure gold! Thank you
