I can see Pouncer too loves your piano playing. I to appreciate you taking the time to teach some of us who havea hard time understanding. You put this things in a way that's easier to understand. Thank you.
I apologize for the ignorant animals dissin you like that, they didnt grow up. The worst kind is the people thumbing that comment up, those are the mass bitches.. followers..
lol you seriously named your cat pouncer? a little lame if you ask me....but your piano skills are sweet! I always give me cats cool names....the two I have now are named...soco and jager...they are brothers and the night we got them we happened to be drinking on some southern comfort and jagermister....I thought they were killer names...especially because soco is yellowish tan and jager is dark grey....
first of all........ a beginner im not. i've been playing, recording, and on stage for 32 years. ur trying to answer a moot question. thx anyway. geeez some people.
I don't get how these chords are special. Any novice or beginner at playing piano, and even intermediate students probably couldn't even tell you what notes are in a Cmin7 right at the top of their head.. These chords could be seen as advanced by even intermediate students. You mine as well have just taught diminished, augments, and suspended chords while you were at it.
@rennychenny Well, if a student, when hearing "Cmin7", can't tell righ away that there's at least a C, a minor third and a seventh in it, then he/she should learn basic chord reading and music theory. C-7 is probably one of the most used chords in jazz history.
i live on chillie's, anyway, yes, i just wish te fk you had shown us yer left hand too, fk ye anyway ! :) ...well demonstrated though. chris, n.ireland...heavy metal... not this nu shite !!
I guess what you are neglecting to show is that the left hand is playing the root note while the right hand is playing the 3rd or minor 3rd and the Natural 7 or the major7. For everyone, a just think of the natural 7th as a 7th and a major 7th has and Augmented 7th. Then the chord structure is consistent across all other chords. I am not sure why they didn't do this at the begining anyway
thx neblixsaber . I stand corrected on saying that a abmaj7 doesn't have a G-C in it. what i was referring to was on his video he's not playing a Abmaj7 chord. look close around 2:47. that is not a Abmaj7. all a Abmaj7 chord is a Cm chord with a Ab bass.
@MrSprayMonet That is Abmaj7. I double checked the pitches on my own keyboard; he's just playing Abmaj7 across like 3 octaves. His left hand includes Ab and Eb while his right has G and C.
wow do you know what your doing? I hate to be the one to tell you but a 'Abmaj7' does NOT have a 'G' and 'C' note in it. what the hell are you trying to teach these beginners?
@MrSprayMonet if Abmaj7 does NOT have a 'G' and 'C' note in it then all you are left with are a Eb and an Ab. that makes it a Ab5 which is just a basic power chord devoid of any majors or minors. what do you suggest a Abmaj7 chord is made up of? I think you might be a beginner if you dont know this. his teaching is correct.
if you really want to learn piano, the only important piano chords are the easiest. all the other ones are slush. I think I'm pretty good at it, and I've never heard of these.

WHY you don't go from the Root to half steps down (also a whole ton down )...than you have the 7th !!!!
And why you count four by the root...WHY you don't count at the 3th ,so you don't must count the second finger ,because its on the 3th lie right at the beginning :-)
ARE YOU LEARN WITHOUT A BOOK AND TEACHER ...is this right ?
because it compication your counting with fingers !!!!!!
great playing! sad that casio don´t made Lighting key´s piano any more! Why Why? casio PL-40R celviano AL-100 celiviano AL-150 was great instrument and give people a god help to learn to play. please casio, let LK-270 get 88 key! lighting key and program that show finger settings is great! now only Yamaha CVP-serie have lighting LED above the key. as guide lamps controled also from downloaded midifile. look at my channel how a beginner can learn fast with lighting key!
Wuau ik vind een een leuke en goeje trukje,ook om ritmisch leuk iets er van te maken.
wat ik heb begrepen is de terts met de septiem gespeelt in kwart ligging afstand,en is eigenleik secunde ligging,met eerste en de vijfde trap ,van septiem akkord veggelaten.! toch wel of niet ? JaWel.
ok this is great, but lacking in a huge dynamic that is not mentioned, that ultimately defines the sound.. and that is TIMING! . . please do a video on timing, I'm currently studying the dynamics of timing, which is a critical aspect of any music, thanks.
@chazzmusic OMG I couldnt even concentrate on this video after the cat came in, dude i am dying laughing right now. "take these two notes down and you get a cat" LOLLLLLL
Buy a cheap keyboard for $100, and learn Let 'em In, by Paul McCartney and Wings as a start from Youtube. Then just learn what those notes are. Sounds good, but is easy-peasy lemon squeasy.
Sounds like a very cool version of Autumn leaves to me.
PS_ I am glad I am not the only one whose cat thinks everything should be a duet :-) My cat Kallie is really into dissonance, like Pouncer. Must be a cat thing.
B +2= C# +2= D# +1= E +2= F# +2= G# +2= A# +1= B C# D# E F# G# A# (2 2 1 2 2 2 1 this goes for all major scales) and then take the 1st, 3rd and 5th to form the B major chord (B D# F#), add the 7th for a B major 7 chord (Bmaj7 or BM7) or the flat 7th to make the dominant chord B7 = B D# F# A
Its the bassline that makes this sound so cool. Too bad he doesnt explain what he's doing with his left hand also. Noobs will play just the 2 finger chords and it will sound nothing like Fm7 Bbm7 etc. Guess its not his intention to teach us how to play this tune. He simply wants to show us how to easily play 7th chords. Its pretty simple though, just invert the 3rd and 7th, and learn the difference between major and minor 3rd, major and minor 7th (and dominant) and youre done. Thanks anyways =P
the easiest way from me to teach this is to teach the 7 tones of the major scale. Both chords and progressions are based off of this scale. Then memorize the formulas to major, minor, 7th chords (1,3,5 - 1, 3b,5 - 1,3,5,7b). That's all there is to it.
Everybody has their different teaching style. This just works best for me.
I know what you're saying. It adds a step to finding chords. Compared to memorizing the chords, it adds a step. But the step makes finding Major 7th and Minor 7th chords much easier, and by extension, dominant and diminished chords. Once you have learned your chords and understand the theory, this "crutch" of an extra step becomes unnecessary and as you say "more difficult" than just having the chord memorized. But if you don't have the chord memorized yet, this method will help.
@sesameseed77 piano must take a lot of practice, at least for improvising chords...compared to somehting like six string guitar, with only a few positions, piano has so many different forms for even regular old tertiary chords...but it's rewarding, there's nothing like playing your own little rhythm-and-melody all by yourself...
@mikese93 six string guitar has HUNDREDS position for every chord.....even a simple major triad can be played in many ways and many position. It is very difficult to play melodies and harmony on the guitar at the same time (try jingle bells or any other simple song) because you can use only four fingers instead of ten......
@markokakokaliger well yea, but if you're playing piano-say you want to play a song in f minor, for example-the chord positions and melody fingerings are COMPLETELY different than d minor. with guitar, g minor pentatonic is the exact same fingering as A minor pentatonic, except it's two steps down the fretboard. as for melody and harmony, it's true some songs are impossible to play both, but again, since you're only using on hand, it requires less concentration.
@mikese93 Guitars are good for transposition scales like pentatonic but otherwise there are lot of scales that are just memorization. Piano is easier for just counting your scales out in a matter of seconds if you know the intervals of a scale.
@mikese93 i know, I'm just saying that knowing the intervals of scales, it would be easier to transpose them by math rather than by memorization because there are scales on guitar that don't have that transposition ability where you can just slide it a fret down or up.
@neblixsaber first let me say I'm not trying to get nasty at all. second, guitar IS all about sliding forms up and down the frets. piano is all about learning to play the same scales twelve different ways. all I know is that I know how to play music, very easily as far as soundwaves are concerned, but that doesn't mean I can improvise on the piano just like that-guitar on the other hand is second nature to me.
@markokakokaliger I just know It's much easier for me to play a chord progression on guitar than piano-on the latter, it's different with every starting note.
Not just on the staff. The musical interval of a fourth is an absolute: 5 semitones. This is true on the piano, on the staff, between any two notes absolutely. I don't know what books you've been looking at but a fourth is always five half-steps (semitones).
Argh. You and my girlfriend both. "Cut your nose hairs", "cut your nails". Next thing you know, I'll have strangers recommending I pluck my eyebrows. Can't a man be a man anymore?
Well, everyone has a right to say what they want on the internet. It's not like a face-to-face random stranger telling you to cut your nose hairs. THAT would definitely be rude.
It might be worth mentioning that this is called "All the things you are" Just for all those who, Like me, Wanted to know so we can learn it. Sorry if its been mentioned before. :D
If you play the chord too low, it can sound harsh. The bass note can be very low, but the 3rd and 7th should be no more than an octave below middle C (C4).
Hey Piano man, that was way cool, I've kind of learned it and am enjoying it...a lot! Thanx so much. Oh, I just remembered, what's that cool base line you use to accompany this rift? I'm trying to work it out by ear but I'm missing on some of the notes, could you throw me a bone? Cool cat too, pouncer, yep sounds about right.
In the left I'm mostly just playing ["root, three, five, three"] as a pattern on the quarter notes. Occasionally at the end of the pattern I throw in another ["root, three, root"] as swung eighth notes. Check out my books for more piano coolness and fun-aciousness.
can you teach me how to play basic chord progessions. Man you are really dope. i have a piano class this semester and all i know is the keys and i can't play a lick.
I can see Pouncer too loves your piano playing. I to appreciate you taking the time to teach some of us who havea hard time understanding. You put this things in a way that's easier to understand. Thank you.
From Fort Worth.

@MrSprayMonet A maj7 chord compromises of a major, then minor, then major triad.

@markokakokaliger well yea, but if you're playing piano-say you want to play a song in f minor, for example-the chord positions and melody fingerings are COMPLETELY different than d minor. with guitar, g minor pentatonic is the exact same fingering as A minor pentatonic, except it's two steps down the fretboard. as for melody and harmony, it's true some songs are impossible to play both, but again, since you're only using on hand, it requires less concentration.

@mikese93 Guitars are good for transposition scales like pentatonic but otherwise there are lot of scales that are just memorization. Piano is easier for just counting your scales out in a matter of seconds if you know the intervals of a scale.

@neblixsaber well my thing is that piano one has two hands and also 12 channels
mikese93 1 year ago
@mikese93 i know, I'm just saying that knowing the intervals of scales, it would be easier to transpose them by math rather than by memorization because there are scales on guitar that don't have that transposition ability where you can just slide it a fret down or up.
neblixsaber 1 year ago
@neblixsaber first let me say I'm not trying to get nasty at all. second, guitar IS all about sliding forms up and down the frets. piano is all about learning to play the same scales twelve different ways. all I know is that I know how to play music, very easily as far as soundwaves are concerned, but that doesn't mean I can improvise on the piano just like that-guitar on the other hand is second nature to me.

@markokakokaliger I just know It's much easier for me to play a chord progression on guitar than piano-on the latter, it's different with every starting note.

Not just on the staff. The musical interval of a fourth is an absolute: 5 semitones. This is true on the piano, on the staff, between any two notes absolutely. I don't know what books you've been looking at but a fourth is always five half-steps (semitones).

Well, everyone has a right to say what they want on the internet. It's not like a face-to-face random stranger telling you to cut your nose hairs. THAT would definitely be rude.

can those chords be played on bass guitar
thats what i would like to play it on
like a five string bass
SDight09 3 years ago
Yes, as long as you play them high enough.
If you play the chord too low, it can sound harsh. The bass note can be very low, but the 3rd and 7th should be no more than an octave below middle C (C4).
sesameseed77 3 years ago
yes you r right
i have to play them high to get the full chord sound
Thank you

Hey Piano man, that was way cool, I've kind of learned it and am enjoying it...a lot! Thanx so much. Oh, I just remembered, what's that cool base line you use to accompany this rift? I'm trying to work it out by ear but I'm missing on some of the notes, could you throw me a bone? Cool cat too, pouncer, yep sounds about right.
gnomietrout 3 years ago
In the left I'm mostly just playing ["root, three, five, three"] as a pattern on the quarter notes. Occasionally at the end of the pattern I throw in another ["root, three, root"] as swung eighth notes. Check out my books for more piano coolness and fun-aciousness.
