120 random piano chords

[LESSOLITAIRE]

Brilliantly done! An invaluable tool! Many thanks for your time and dedication

[nugster1]

How that comment got 26 likes is beyond me.

[Bennehhful]

@fetymann Nope, you're missing the description.

[Fdirie]

Yes, the chords are correct and are exactly how a pro should play the chords. But reading the comments here, I notice that most of them are newbies, Be kind to them and show all the notes in chords. And finally, thanks for posting the video. Respect.

pooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooow

[fetymann]

Why is A minor repeating? Am I missing the difference?

[jbrandrn]

I'm sure I don't understand the theory of music as much as I'd like but I find these random two note chord 'progressions' very satisfying. Why is that? I'd love answers.to why this is.

[PowerRedBull]

@jbrandrn

I think the 2 tone variations are ''lighter'' to listen to, while still giving the feeling of the chord. Apart from that..Listening to interesting chords is just refreshing

[jbrandrn]

I love these two note chords. Amazingly calming. Removing the root is what does it!

[jbrandrn]

Reading through the comments I have to say sorry I disagree with most of you. I love listening to these 2 note chords with missing roots. Great post sesamee77!

[redandwhitekite]

crap



[superchrisbeatz]

what notes do i hit on the left??anyone help?

[jbrandrn]

@superchrisbeatz The root. When he names a chord the key that gives the name to the chord is the root. Amazingly mathematical when you think about it all.

[Yahuzi]

press 3 to play D minor 7th :D

[MrEandL]

Thank you for the lesson. I get it.

[dabeaner12345]

you guys are dickheads usually when you play 2 notes of a chord the right hand contains the other note. and playing block chords all the time sounds like shit anyway check out my titanic cover to by the way

[miststalker06]

This is good, had he informed that the roots and fifths are left out in advance. There are some nice progressions in here as well if you take a couple of subsequent chords.

All these two-note chords are voicings that you can use with the root and fifths in the left hand. It's a nice way to play, 'cause you can arrange your sounds more easily. I wouldn't play like this, 'cause I have my own way of playing, but for someone who hasn't yet found his/her style, this is terrific! Thanks for the effort

[Stakkarskatt]

What is the point of this video?

[KATOMATE01]

LAME and all your chords have two notes...wtf? take this shit off youtube...

[yypish]

Why did you made a film about chords, just make a funny video or tutorial or something and you will get way more hits.

btw a chord has THREE notes, sorry dude

[4LIVsE4]

this is so lame



[QuintonMillow]

A revolutionary way of playing! You are magnificent! I’m buying your product!!!!

I can see some people don't understand why you're doing it this way but I read some of your book so I totally get it! :-)

[QuintonMillow]

A revolutionary way of playing! You are magnificent! I’m buying your product!!!!

[rudynyc1]

only 2 notes??????????

[LindyPSvideo]

OMG.My ears are confused-_-"

It is hard to remember the chord's sound.

Your video will be my practice tool :D

[claudiaimpey]

I am scared!

[AcousticMusicPage]

This is BULLSHIT

[swva7956]

This won't teach people how to play the piano, just chords. That takes no skill. Teach them to play the piano instead of poisoning the minds of beginners with this crap.

[RingstingDJ]

The first few chords sound like the ones Deadmau5 used in his song 'some chords'. maybe he got it from this Vid. nicely

[marizpiano]

Nice job!

Just wanted to share with you a cool piano gadget recently featured in Gizmag

Google “gizmag pianomaestro”

[mariannemusic]

This is great because it shows some better voicing ideas than complete chords

[SSvolksgrenadier]

these arent just chords they are harmonics

[Felixxmit2x]

das ist total falsch ^^lol

[TheDoxster]

As a beginner, I think I understand what you have done. Thank you.

[happidaysss]

Thank you! I play piano, and even a beginner should be able to figure the rest out. In fact it is probably better for them to figure it out so they can train their ears. I've been playing piano for some time now, and just listening to it helped alot!

[hkubilay]

thank you very much for your effort, it's very useful.

[Slapnutzmalone]

I just don't understand why you would leave out the root. It doesn't matter if it's obvious or not, it's necessary for the note.

It just seems half-assed.

And you say you only have the right hand parts? A lot of the time the root is played in the right hand! The bass is played in the left and is USUALLY the root but not always.

[allmusictutorials]

it takes 3 notes to form a chord, each of these only has 2....

the best way to learn to play piano is by learning songs, on my channel i use synthesia to teach you tons of piano songs, check it out

[Zephur19]

People, sesameseed77 DIDN'T INCLUDE THE ROOTS! If you LISTEN you can HEAR them in the sound snipits! Just because it isn't shown doesn't mean there aren't included! As musicians, you should be able to tell if the root is there or not! Even if you AREN'T a musician, it's easy to tell if the root is there or not! -.-

[darafast]

@sesameseed77 Bbb is A

[SunilGangarh]

Are these even right?

[blukuwarto]

@sesameseed77

This isn't for beginners. They can't seem to understand why the root is optional on the right hand and why the fifth is optional altogether. It's frustrating because they seem so sure of what they know. :-/

By the way, I think this is a great video. The notes you showed are the essential ones. Additional notes would just be for added flavor. Thanks for posting.

[Ferankrum]

wow some people are really dumb, yet can still type comments. The chords are right (the few i saw). You only need a root, a 3rd and a 7th to get the sound of a chord. Root wasnt included because its really really really obvious.

the 5th is optional.

[HorseMan50]

B minor 7th with 2 notes = FAIL

[sesameseed77]

@HorseMan50 If you'd look a little closer, you'd see that the root is in the left, so there are three notes per chord not two.  FAIL

[HorseMan50]

@sesameseed77 1. There's no root on the left...

2. B minor 7th has 4 notes!

[sesameseed77]

@HorseMan50 If you listen to the music you'll hear the root. I don't show the root in the diagram because it's easy - same as the name of the chord. Also, the fifth is optional, so yes a Bm7 can have four notes, but it doesn't need four notes, only three. The root (in the left and not shown in the diagram), the third, and the seventh!

[mulloa1]

@sesameseed77 confusing for beginners :/

[Goldsinga]

@sesameseed77 horseman, you just got served :L :P

[mkrznar]

@sesameseed77 so it's fifthless chord :D PAWNED :D

[2211JW]

@sesameseed77 You should definitely be displaying ALL the tones in your displays.

Leaving out the fifth is NOT optional.

[whoopsiedoop]

there is no root on the left

[toanmorello2]

@HorseMan50 LOL

[romzombie1981]

very helpful thank you for posting this

[erniedoob]

Thank you for posting. I am almost 30 and started teaching myself piano about 5 years ago, and I could easily hear the left hand root note being played. Its sad that other people didn't realize that, especially one person who has been playing since they were 6!

[smertk]

why did you skip the root notes i mean B major is not a B major without a B note in it:D

[sesameseed77]

Because I'm just showing the right hand. The left hand is easy, it's just the root note (B for B Major)

[DevilishXangel00123]

Thanks a bunch. i really needed this. :]

[Stistrup]

yea.. you can't keep skipping the root. An a major obviously need an A in it..

[sesameseed77]

yep. Because I'm just showing the right hand. You'd play A in the left. That way you do have an A in it.

[Stistrup]

K, then im sorry. Meaby should just put a little notice in the video saying that or something for people who might miss it.

[Hephaestus02]

..I think all these stuff are wrong, a B major chord must be F#+B+D# and not F#+D#, and the B minor is F#+B+D not F#+D, I'm sorry but the chords are all wrong..

..sorry if ever I hurt your feelings, I've been playing piano since I'm 6 yrs. old and I've never learned about those chords you've posted..

[sesameseed77]

@Hephaestus02 It's only showing the right hand. The root is in the left. I left it out because it's obvious from the name, and because it's easier to think of the OTHER two notes that are related to the root note. Also, the FIFTH is optional!

[crashbro]

@sesameseed77 you just made it too complicated bud. If you're going to inform us on 120 random chords, show us every note within that chord, otherwise you are perceived as a moron.

[Josephgale20]

@sesameseed77 Obvious? You have to assume that people trying to learn are... Well... Trying to learn. Their novice, so they wouldn't know the "obvious keys." Thank you for your attempt.

[heinzgilbert]

@sesameseed77 There are so many noobs here. Guys these chords are jazz triads. where you have the root + 3rd + 7th. now to those who cant hear the root playing its your problem. whats shown on the diagram is the 3rd and the 7th played on the right hand.

[sharpshoter9]

@Hephaestus02 what have you been doing since 6 yrs old? Playing chopsticks the whole time?

[luffy3]

thanks

[springtime32]

wait so what notes make up a Dm chord? is it only a and f#? o And wat notes make up s E chord and Fmaj7 chord plz tell i really need to no:)

[poppromoters]

i am a beginner can u tell me how is for example a major play with out the a im already confuse

[Just0Nele]

Like it!

i don't play on the piano, but my sister have one

I gonna try it!

[sesameseed77]

First off, chill out. Nobody's cheating you. You're OK. You're gonna survive. Now, to your question - to create a seventh chord, you don't need to play the fifth.  Just, the root, 3rd and 7th. In this example, the root is in the left, the 3rd and 7th are in the right hand. If you want to know more about how they are used, try reading some sheet music, or better yet, pick up my book "How to Speed Read Piano Chord Symbols".

[hannahkatreena]

wow there are so many of this. how can a pianist memorize all of this stuffs?

[Dragonflamz]

once you know what patterns of notes make up certain chords its alright

[rallyboy88]

cheers..will help with my beat writing :D

[sesameseed77]

sure, it was fun to make.

[Albertoxs]

thanks for this
