Piano Chord Tutorial #5 Tom Willett "Piano chords"

[DJJASONPRODUCER]

Thank you for this wonderfull videos =]

[Featureman]

@DJJASONPRODUCER Thank you so much for the nice comment.

[matimaui]

i really enjoy your tutorials, thank you very much for making them. now, i have a question: why is it that some people say it is not good for beginners to use the transpose button? i'm a guitarist so i don't have much time to learn piano and i was wondering if it could be a smart thing to learn songs in c and use the transpose button to play them in different keys. what is your opinion on the matter?

[Featureman]

@matimaui It is OK to do it all in C and use the button if you use only one keyboard. It is good to learn how to play in different keys if you use different pianos. Thanks.

[loveoutloud224]

what kind of keyboard is that ? & great tutorial (:

[Featureman]

@loveoutloud224 That is an M-Audio Keystation 88es. It is a controller with no sound of its owm. I use other keyboards through a MIDI cord. Thanks.

[Neorkodoi]

cit de rapid esti, extraordinar. esti tareeee.... multumesc pentru lectiile super... succes... thank you very much. And tell me if you are not a proffesionall teacher?

[Featureman]

@Neorkodoi Thanks. I am not a professional teacher. Have fun with the music.

[yvettealine]

love your videos, very 'easy' to follow, and great practice exercises. thank you so much. yvette

[Featureman]

@yvettealine You are very welcome. Thanks, Yvette.

[yvettealine]

good video, but from lesson 4 missing the notes in writing on the screen, as they can get hard to be sure of when just spoken quite quickly. but thanks, it's great.

[Featureman]

@yvettealine Thanks. I will try to use the screen subtitles on future lessons.

[vaitonas]

the ending inspired me.

[Featureman]

@vaitonas Thanks.

[Toppitmanilikeit]

Love all the stuff that I have seen on your site Tom. Your keyboard tutorials are excellent, very worthwhile and informative. You have taught me so much and it is greatfully appreciated as I learn keyboard. Thank you so much. Mike.....in England!

[Featureman]

@Toppitmanilikeit Thank you, Mike. Enjoy all the music there.

[silvermediastudio]

Great videos man, I've recently gotten back into piano after 20 years of not playing, and while I enjoy putting time into the basics/theory/reading sheet music that my teacher has for me, throwing in a bit of the blues/jazz/stride/boogie improve I've been learning from you makes it fun! I hope I get to hear you really cut it up in a later video.

[Featureman]

@silvermediastudio Thanks. I have many videos up including just me singing with piano in some that are not tutorials. I hope you enjoy them.

[kyleemmanuelle]

thanks for your help tom! thumbs up!

[Featureman]

@kyleemmanuelle You are welcome. Thanks.

[3fw34f]

what is the name of that song?

[Featureman]

@3fw34f It is not a song. It is just a chord pattern that was used for hundreds of songs such as You Send Me, All I have to do is Dream, Earth Angel, Angel Baby, Blue Moon and many others.

[DJMusicalporn]

@Featureman maybe he was thinking of chopsticks

[3fw34f]

what is the name of the song that you played?

[LanceMetal]

your brilliant i want a keyboard agen lol mines gone walkies somewere lol thanks man

[Featureman]

Thanks. The keyboards are much less expensive today than they were in the 1970s. have fun.

[MrLumierre]

Thanks

[Featureman]

You are welcome.

[lai1990A]

sir , wt is the difference between playing piano when reading notes and plying chord without noe hw to read music .. do i have to learn hw to read music .. because if i dunno hw to read how am i suppose to ply songs in the book

[Featureman]

I do not use books or sheet music. If I hear a song I want to learn I just sit down at the piano or keyboard and play some chords until I find the right ones for my voice. If you work with an orchestra that has written music for its arrangements you would need to learn how to read music. If you need to learn a song in a book it probably has the chord symbols written in the book. Some books do not have chords written. I never use books. If you need to learn from a book I cannot help you. Thanks.

[murzwrath]

that end bit with the boogie......wow

[Featureman]

Thanks.

[1phatmaximus]

thank you once again much appreciated,,,and thank you for taking the time to give us who are learning your experiance free on youtube,,,take care wishing you well all the best....Mac

[1phatmaximus]

dear Featureman i ask as im sure you knw yr business, i knw sod all, but am learning,,and got a bit confused in yr video at the point 2.00 where u say its a c whilst holding down e g then the c keys,,sorry ,, as u say c e g make a c chord does it work backwards as well,, c g e, as i say im only learning would appreciate yr advice,,, and thanks for getting back to me, enjoy yr lessons take care all the best......

[Featureman]

Any combination of C and E and G notes is a C chord. Use many variations as you play and you will learn how certain configurations sound better at different times. Experiment and practice. Thanks.

[1phatmaximus]

are u sure thats a c cord yr playing my friend

[Featureman]

C-E-G is a C chord. Thanks.

[VINYLSAMURAIS]

Just a matter of learning more playing as you do ! etc and understanding the chords etc, how and why things work how they do! So thank you for posting as its becoming a great help ! i will be getting on the piano tommorrow to practice!

Thanks mate

[Featureman]

Thank you. Enjoy the practice.

[101anmarte]

Excelent explanation! A great way to learn piano. There is any chance to give the lessons in Spanish? Thank you.

[Featureman]

Thanks. No. I speak only English but perhaps someone will someday do a translation.

[multibeejay]

How do you transpose a song? I mean is there a pattern? I'm beginning to like piano.. thnxxx

[Featureman]

Just watch the tutorials starting with number one and this one, number five is about how to transpose. Thanks.

[macmans2008]

wow your realy great thanks a lot for the lesson godspeed

[Featureman]

You are welcome. Thanks.

[szemingyam]

Mr. Music,

Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving.

Warmest regards,

Simon

[Featureman]

Thanks. Everything is great for me. I wish you the same.

[3wayz]

thank u. well apprechiated!

[3wayz]

itd b great if u did put some videos up on singing thanks again.

[Featureman]

Thanks. I will eventually get something up about singing after taxes, etc.

[3wayz]

do you have lessons on singing? ur piano lessons r really helping:)

[Featureman]

Someday I will do some singing tips again. Mainly be sure the song is in a key that is comfortable for your voice. Try different keys until you find the one that works best for each song you sing. You will sing different songs in different keys, not always the same key. Thanks.

[baham99]

Fantastic direction. I'm very fascinated about the pedagogy of teaching music, piano, and specific types of music. I think you explain both the "forest" (theory) and the trees (how to play) masterfully.

[Featureman]

Thanks so much.

[Evolutions35]

Mr.Willet,you're the best in internet for piano tuturial.I know little bit but not to much.Your teaching wery heplful for me Thanks.Regards from Istanbul.

[Featureman]

Thank you so much. My regards to you there.

[101Licious]

Very useful, thank you man! =)

[Featureman]

I am glad it was helpful.

[YoungB734]

HELLO THAT WAS PRICELESS LOL

[Featureman]

Thank you.

[juanCarlosvp7]

One more time thanks again!, I'll just skip saying it till the end o the tutorials, except when I have a question. But you know I say it everytime I watch some of your videos!

[Featureman]

Thank you. You are welcome.

[o71v3r]

thank you for the tutorials.

[Featureman]

You are very welcome.

[nickeax]

Thanks a lot for this great lesson Mr. Willet!

[Featureman]

You are very welcome.

[BigLon]

Got'ta love the Jerry Lee Lewis.

But you didn't comment on me being third.

Maybe it was cause the BigLon mis-spelled it,

and you didn't know what the heck I was a talkin' bout.

[Featureman]

Third is still in the running. You lost by a nose. Durante and Cyrano beat you.

[BigLon]

Dang it.

Foiled again.

Someday,

the BigLon hopes to be first.

Maybe there's a prize or something.

[desendus]

Where are the rest of the tutorials? I bought a keyboard just to learn off of these great lessons.

[Featureman]

Hi. I will gradually put up many more tutorials. I will not be using any copyright songs in the new tutorials so I have taken down the old tutorials that had copyright songs. I will be showing all the chords and riffs and I will be explaining how they are used in songs and I will show in future tutorials where to get the chords for the various songs for free. Thanks. Do practice with the new keyboard. You will be able to play whatever you decide to play.

[desendus]

Thanks. I'm looking forward to the next one.

[patrickcharm]

love it...thanks...

[TheChodyWang]

first

[Featureman]

You are the first. Thanks.

[RenegadeAssaultSquad]

LOL. I am the 2nd

[Featureman]

Second is good, too.

[BigLon]

tard

[Featureman]

Biglon you need to put a piano in the back of that Diamond T and do what Jerry Lee Lewis did during the opening credits of High School Confidential.
