[Featureman]

@Nicarmarkat7179 You will be able to play sogs and learn with 54 keys. Have fun there. Thanks.

[88antro]

you are amazing shame you're last name isn't bullett

[Featureman]

@88antro Thank you. I once knew someone named Johnny Gunn. Bullett would be a good stage name.

[88antro]

@Featureman im now following you on twitter. excellent videos

[ross19902008]

thanks for the help...

[Featureman]

@ross19902008 You are very welcome.

[ross19902008]

@Featureman I wont be able to play much, because I only use my right hand, I have CP, but I can play a little music

[Featureman]

@ross19902008 Some of the keyboards have a one finger button for playing the rhythm amd left hand chords while you play the right hand part. Good luck with everything. Thanks.

[Blaze264]

excuse me sir.. i have a 61 key digital keyboard. can i still learn how to play even though your teaching on an 88?

[Featureman]

@Blaze264 Yes. Whether the keyboard is a 4 octave or 5 octave or 88 key style, they make the same chords, the same way.

[Blaze264]

@Featureman Thank you sir. 

[faisalfarissi]

thank you sir. this is really a big help for a beginer like me.

[Featureman]

@faisalfarissi Thank you. You will have a lot of pleasure with music.

[tranez2205]

awesomeeeee ... :D ... I learn to play piano by myself, I can read the notes but I don't know the chords and how to combine it ... this tutorial helps me a lot ... check out some of my videos on my channel if u have time, sir ... ^^ ... once again thank u so much ...

[Featureman]

@tranez2205 Your videos are excellent. I recommend for all who read this to visit your channel for the music and the dancing. Thanks.

[dosullivan9936]

Awesome tutorial, just what I needed. I just started practicing on my own with my keyboard finally, I've gotten used to fingering and playing some simple music chordless, but then I discovered the idea of chords and my mind was slightly boggled. It's all starting to make more and more sense the more I watch your tutorials though. :D

[Featureman]

@dosullivan9936 Thank you. It is the easiest way I know about for playing music quickly.

[xraydog2011]

Wow,this is called sharing knowledge to the next generations :),awesome tutorial

[Featureman]

@xraydog2011 I thank you very much for the kind words.

[Featureman]

[Featureman]

@vmeda95 Thank you.

[billma12345]

This is everything I am looking for in a piano tutorial. God bless ya

[Featureman]

@billma12345 Thank you.

[i1forGodisvisible]

Thanks again, I was on piano some months as hopeless pupil, now since 7 days I "reconquista" the audio-world of synthesizers - with all the non-piano-voices, I love them - and just learned a great help of your keywalking.....

To the visual enrichement, I could and can give in my websides (not many are yet interested) there comes the world of tones..... If there is no or only little reaction on the great new public event, I can spend some time over the key-roads, finding consolation.....

[Featureman]

@i1forGodisvisible Thank you.

[Jg191984]

I never understood the piano until I found this video... Thanks for this tutorial!!

[Featureman]

@Jg191984 You are very welcome. Thanks for the nice comment.

[MrStuckinabox]

Hey man! I was thinking on getting that same keyboard but I want something that I can play through speakers live, because it doesnt generate the sounds, the computer does right? what setup were you using here?

[Featureman]

@MrStuckinabox The keyboard is plugged into a Yamaha DJX keyboard which makes the sound. The Yamaha has only five octaves but the keyboard MIDI connection uses the sound card in the Yamaha to make 88 key sounds. Thanks.

[MrStuckinabox]

@Featureman Oh cool, thanks for the help!

[ILoveTheBeatles618]

You teach piano at a nice slow pace. Good job!

[Featureman]

@ILoveTheBeatles618 Thanks.

[ILoveTheBeatles618]

[MrPoOpOoPiE]

[Featureman]

@MrPoOpOoPiE You will surprise yourself when you begin to play chords. It is a great way to begin playing music. Thanks.

[Featureman]

@Heahmount I do not know what part of Ireland she was from. She died before I was born. I did meet Johnny Cash when I was a radio announcer in Las Vegas. He was appearing at the Mint Hotel about 1965. He was very nice. I never travel now. I am a stay at home. Thanks. I hope all is well there. It is getting colder here now..

[Featureman]

@Heahmount Thanks, Noel. My grandmother came from Ireland. I hope all is well there.

[Maafa1619]

That over the shoulder perspective is genius!

[Featureman]

@Maafa1619 Thank you very much.

[MXPXHolland]

Your a great instructor! i was amazed that i could make some nice sounds in just 1 day of having a keyboard

[Featureman]

@MXPXHolland Thank you. Have fun with the keyboard.

[Featureman]

@djderyking Thank you.

[AegisJosh]

Is that a M-AUDIO KEYSTATION 88ES? Does it have speakers or do you have the keyboard plugged in to a computer?

[Featureman]

@AegisJosh Yes. It is plugged into a MIDI keyboard. The sound comes from the other keyboard.

[mikepiazza]

Very awesome...If you live close to NY I would love to take some lessons. Have played guitar for years and I am just learning piano for a few weeks... YIKES!!! I am taking lessons from a formal teacher and it is slow going, reading and stuff. You're lessons are actually keeping me sane, THANKS!

[Featureman]

@mikepiazza You are welcome. Thanks.

[MrASiddall]

My question is, why is it Am? What makes it 'minor' (I'll probably work this out myself in a minute

[Featureman]

@matthew3774 There are many more tutorials. This is the first one. Various types of chords and names are in later tutorials. Thanks.

[Featureman]

Thanks.

[zzzun333]

the page helped me ALOT! thank you soo much :D

[Featureman]

@zzzun333 Thanks.

[TheTruth285]

Very important question! Please answer if someone can. I was wondering. Lets say I played an E-G-E Chord in my right hand, or a C-E-C chord. would those chords be considered Parallel major 8th chords? Thanks.

[Featureman]

@TheTruth285 As long as you play a C and an E and a G in any order it is a C chord. I have no idea what a parallel chord is but the notes C and E and G will make a C chord. For beginners I recommend playing C-E-G as I show in the video. In future lessons I show other ways to make chords. Thanks.

[lukemd1]

best tutorial i have seen so far...clear instructions at an easy pace.

[Featureman]

@lukemd1 Thanks. I appreciate your nice comment.

[dianne768]

@lukemd1

I completely agree. You are the best by far.

[boogieman079]

a few years ago i used these lessons to learn a few chords on piano..they were really helpful!..thanks Tom...Steve

[Featureman]

@boogieman079 Thanks, Steve. You play piano and guitar fabulously.

[kloogh]

my guitar string broke lol i have a piano and since i dont have my guitar for a while il learn this ! thanks for the great tutorial

[Featureman]

@kloogh Thank you very much. I hate when a string breaks on my guitar.

[dianne768]

Finally, someone who goes slower and makes it simple.

One question though. Why is the A chord group called A minor and the other simple ones are just regular letters??

[Featureman]

@dianne768 You will learn about Minor and Major and 7th and Augmented chords in later tutorials. This is the beginning. It is an A Minor. We have to call it something and later it will make sense. Thanks.

[mnash3]

@ featureman - You are welcome.

[nelsonthekinger]

Feautureman you are my Hero!!

[kenled1957]

I've wanted to learn keyboard for 40 years and never took the time to even try. I'm going to give your method a shot! Thanks!!

[Featureman]

@kenled1957 Thanks. Have fun. The keyboards are very low priced now and music is fun.

[kenled1957]

@Featureman We've got one that looks like it has 61 keys on it that I bought for the grand kids to play with, time for grandpa to give it a go.

[Featureman]

@kenled1957 I have done many shows with 61 key keyboards. They are fine.

[cameronhjh]

THANK YOU SO MUCH... please Mr Willett, have a look at my only video on these 4 chords played in a different order that i posted a few days ago. I have liked, subscribed, and i hope you do the same to my video, as i really enjoy yours and find them easy to understand. :)

[cubyegrl4]

Thank you so, so, so much! I have always wanted to learn how to play the piano, and I tried to teach myself years ago and, well let's just say that I failed at that miserably. So I picked up the guitar but I've always still wanted to play the piano! When I started watching your videos I got so excited! Thankfully I remembered some of the basics, but your videos are so amazing I'm so confident and thrilled to be able to actually play some songs on the piano - a dream for me! Thank you so much!

[Featureman]

@cubyegrl4 You are welcome. Have fun with the music. Thanks.
