[lgalvao87]

What is the brand and model of this keyboard?

I loved the piano timbre...

[MrWeedpatch]

most excellent...........

[JimmyV2009]

great!

[AdiSgoel]

thanku for clearing my doubt auggiedoggy...can u further clarify as to when will an arpeggio make distinction between major/minor

[auggiedoggy]

Thanks for this video. I found it very helpful.

[AdiSgoel]

I HAVE A QUESTION.....JUST IN THE BEGINNING OF THE VIDEO U SAID THAT ARPEGGIOS MAKE NO DISTINCTION BETWEEN MAJOR AND MINOR......THEN AFTER SOMETIME U SAID THAT "THIS ONE DOES"....

ARE THERE MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF ARPEGGIOS U R TALKIN ABOUT..?

PLEASR CLEAR THIS DOUBT....

THANK.U

[auggiedoggy]

@AdiSgoel : I took that to mean if you play the 1-5-8 arpeggio, i.e. C-G-C, there is no distinction, which is true.

[nigeleckzdee]

@AdiSgoel turn off caps lock.

[ijustseefaces]

Thank you for the lesson. Awesome job!

[therealmdhw]

Can you do a tutorial on playing with pedals (i.e. adding sustain to notes)? I have always wondered what the rule is - when and how do you use the sustain pedal on a piano? Maybe you have some general guidelines to explain how to use it?

[therealmdhw]

Thanks very much! This is the kind of information I have been looking for. Now I just need to get a piano or keyboard again :-) Thanks for all the tips!

[aligandi88]

what song is that or is it something you created? It sounds awesome!

[MangoldProject]

@aligandi88 Just a short something written to demonstrate the techniques discussed.

[aligandi88]

@MangoldProject Well it sounds awesome like it's part of a film score or something. Thanks for the post, i've been dabbling with the piano for a few years now although i didnt learn anything new, it was well taught and i absolutely loved the piece. Thats a definite five stars and favourited from me :)

Hello bro,

We all love you for your great lessons.

Please show us a tutorial "how to play Arpegio on the song..." for example the song "NOTHING 'S GONNA CHANGE MY LOVE FOR YOU". Can you do it for all of us? We 've learnt alot of theories from you. Please apply it to a a complete song like that.

We most appreciate your help.

[MaestroCorpJC]

great thank

[Trigger2O12]

One of the best on youtube for sure!

[brianappa]

Thank you so much for uploading this video! :)

[grandexandi]

THANK YOU! thats exactly what i wanted to learn! \o/

[MetallSwede]

God, this is where i am right now in my learning curve, but i can't get past this, cause every time i put my right fingers down, my left fingers wanna come down on the keys as well, and vice versa. They are very interdependent, which makes me only capable of doing solid chords. Trying to break the chords into arpeggios just screws everything up, makes me frustrated and i just can't get past it. :(

[TheYakkis]

@MetallSwede For some songs, I have to play with only my left hand until I don't have to think about it while humming the part for the right hand. Then do the same thing with the right hand. It makes it a lot easier when you use both hands because you have some built up muscle memory for each part. Best of luck, I know your frustration.

[Pianopod]

Brilliant tutorial!

[smithtdea]

[larestimer]

I JUST CAN SAY THANK YOU, YOUR LESSIONS ARE SO HELPFULL.

[IoannisGPetrakis]

your video is very helpful, gave me good ideas for my left hand. thank u and keep posting :)

[tmzfire2011]

hi, your lessons help me. just curious at minute 8:14 what chord on left hand are you playing?

[MangoldProject]

@tmzfire2011 : it's an Em arpeggio, using the 9th (or 2nd, as you'd have it) degree to give it a more "sophisticated" sound.

[tmzfire2011]

@MangoldProject yes its nice. wasnt your fingers hitting the keys in this order in arpeggio E G F#, B ? thanks for your last reply

[MangoldProject]

@tmzfire2011 Almost. There are 6 notes in that arpeggio: E B F# B G B.

[piano14]

very helpful and understandable good job

[Uss786786]

Hi thanx for the video its very good

But I wanna ask a question

I can play piano very good but while I am playing it with my right hand I dont know how to play with the left one

Its kinda confusing and little bit hard I know if i ll try then i can do it but I need some instruction so can you tell me please?

[cmcherry65]

very nice tecniques sir ....but cud u tell the 2nd pattern of arpiegios for aug and dimnished scales..

[bombayculcutta]

thank u very much

[toddandhisdog]

Simple is so often so effective.

Thanks for the new trick. Great thing to share with everybody. Thanks.

[MusicMonsterMan]

Absolutely brilliant! thanks so much!

[caroljm36]

Great lesson, thanks! Been trying to figure out these arpeggios..I know people ad lib them but I couldn't get the same sound..skipping the 3rd is a huge clue.

[danielbrodeth1]

thank you. it helps me alot :)

[iGVJ]

simple and to the point....gr8 job.

[Punkkid2829]

wow ur awesome!! i learned alot just by watching this video thumbs up...

i look forward to one day be playing like you...

thnx alot...

[nottyash100]

Hello very good instruction, I have question. when you double the root not are you playing the fith not again, it appears so in the video.

Thank You

[MangoldProject]

@nottyash100 What point in the video are we talking about? If you give me a concrete time (min:sec) I'll take a look.

[nottyash100]

@MangoldProject Thank you for taking the time too reply.

looking at the video it appears to around time 2:45.Minutes

It appears that you play the c (root) then the g (fifth), then the c again twice(double beat), then the g again. It may be the video quality at my end.

You are a very very experienced player, so please do not be upset by any of my comments.

Thank You

[vonamphuong]

@MangoldProject

Greetings,

I see that you put the title 1/2, does this mean you have the 2nd video? I cannot find it.

Please help.

Anyway, thank you very much for your lessons.

[nottyash100]

Thank you very well explained, this has really helped me. Keep up the good work

[Ilovedownloads]

My friend, rejoice in your talent and hard work and keep it to yourself, you have worked hard for your gift.

I hate seeing talented kind and decent musicians giving their talents and tricks away to the lazy undedicated and selfish who would NEVER return the same gift and be selfish with their knowledge.

Great video.

[vjnavo]

As one user has mentioned wonderful tutorial. The BEST HIDDEN Tutorial so far.

Thanks For that Video

[DrEslamKarem]

Really Marvellous, thanks for that video

[renald005]

the most helpful video. thanks. some of the gospel tutorials are people showing off to me.

[fatefan88]

great tutorial! the melody you created was really pretty. It reminded me of the lullaby-song from Casper =)

[randomhottea]

sweet. this is the kind of theory that i've learned through stupid books for years and years. before i quit we got all these papers FINALLY talking about hearing what would sound good instead of HAVING to play the direct thing all the time. too bad youtube didn't exist 10 years ago. I also play the guitar & people ALWAYS ask me how to strum according to the song. like what you said, it just depends on the situation & what you want out of it.

[RealKyloss]

neverthless123 is right - playing just 1,5,1 is not an arpeggio, 'cause arpeggio is made by chord notes played separatedly and 1,5 is not a chord, chord has 3 different notes at least, so please don't use this term at the beginnig of this lesson.

[randomhottea]

@RealKyloss: A chord is built upon the scale. and if i'm not mistaken 1 is still in the scale. Like the guy who posted his video said, power chords in guitar omit the 3rd and it's still a chord.

[RealKyloss]

@randomhottea

No, it's not a chord. Chord is build on 3 different notes. So called powerchord is not a chord, because we have only 2 notes. Check theory or whatever, wikipedia etc.

[randomhottea]

@RealKyloss yes i'll make sure to check wikipedia because it can be edited by anyone. Even then, your oh so faithful wikipedia says two noted harmonies can be called a chord. It's argued that it can be a chord or an interval. But if you look in ANY up-to-date dictionary, it'll say a chord is made TYPICALLY, or USUALLY, three or more notes, meaning there ARE exceptions such as the fifth chord.

[RealKyloss]

@randomhottea

You don't understand me. Anyway CHORD is made by 3 different notes, not 2, which is just interval. 1 and 5 is not a chord, end. But it can function as "like a chord" in certain progression, when it's "like a min, dom7th, maj" etc "chord".

Alone it's not a chord and the 5th especially has no "colour" unless it's b5 or #5. The 5th is the most ommited note in jazz especially on guitar, 3rd and 7th are not.

Anyway U can believe what U want.

really great ideas for left hand arpeggios, thank you for sharing

[unmeshdinda28]

GREAT!!!

[mrunal317]

excellent work. thanks for uploading this video.

[balubm]

Excellent video!! Keep up the good work!!

[KJEboys]

Excellent tuturial! That's where I'm having difficulties...breaking up the chord into arpegios. I can't get my left hand fingers to play correctly.... but I have no issues when I play as a chord.

Thanks.

[meshuggahfan]

OMG DUDE, thank YOU for saying what you said at 7:00. This also applies to the guitar, find what sounds good to YOU, and go with that, no need to pull theory in here. I've been saying that for years, finally happy to hear another musician say the same thing.

[pinchimike]

gracias muy bueno

thank you really good

=)

[Fierfoxy]

this video is good for they they can speak englishi lern english in school in germany

[lesserlight]

Thank you for the fresh perspective. It is so difficult choosing amongst the millions of combinations of bass and melodic patterns that sometimes when I play I become overwhelmed. There are so many different ways to think about it as well. Thanks for helping us on our musical journey.

[shamankingbatman]

hey man...i love this clip...it helped me alot on practicing my skills..

I have a request to ask... can you please look at "My Love is Here" by Jim Brickman?

Can you make a tutorial on it?please. I want to play it on my girlfriends debut. This is song is Soooo AWESOME!!!thank you in advance

[nevertheless123]

What ind of arpeggio is it that doesnt have a third?

I dont think you are doing it correctly!

[MangoldProject]

That's the problem: you're thinking instead of listening. Omitting the third may or may not work, depending on the situation; guitar players omit the third all the time when using power chords. Use your ears and make your own decisions - I've given you both options in the video.

[l3tl3v]

I'm a guitar player and when I play arpeggios on guitar I use the 1st, 3rd and 5th for major and when I play a minor arpeggio I just flatten the 3rd.

I'm not a real piano player but you'd think the notes you'd play on guitar would be the same as piano since its using the same basic theory.

[NikFrivilous]

Just listen to the guy. Does it sound good? Then it is good. He is omitting the 3rd to keep the lower register from getting muddy. Playing guitar and piano are completely different. Im originally a guitar player, if you are trying to learn to play piano the best thing to do is think of them separately because they are two different instruments.

[amazingvietnam247]

@MangoldProject

Hello Teacher,

Just want to let you know that You are doing the Best video i can find o the web. Great lessons. I learn 1hr from you better than 3months from many others.

I like it that you do slowly enough for beginners to follow, clear explaination, beautiful chord break up... Simply the Best.

I will let my daughter know about your videos when she grows up (only 4yr now, beginner at kindergarten).

Again, Thank you from Vietnam.

[kannadaguy]

[MangoldProject]

It's just a spur-of-the-moment creation to help demonstrate the concepts. It's not part of an existing song.

[kannadaguy]

wow... too good :-)

[aflacrocks]

do u only play chords left handed? i think it's kewl, cuz i'm left handed.. n everyone tels me i can't play a chord left handed... but i like it better

[MangoldProject]

Playing chords with the left hand is standard in jazz. So you're in good company - everybody does it!

PS

You should check out Ravel's concerto for the left hand - definitely will make you feel superior to the rest of us right handed pianists!
