  • I do believe this is the Steely Dan "mu" chord??

  • @Detman101 Yeah, making any variation on a chord on guitar is a bi**h, where every chord is unique in shape, with piano, you just have to learn how to make any add2, dim7, etc chord, and you can make 'em all :)

  • @lifedeathatoz EDIT:By any song, I mean songs where the piano is the main instrument, like in the classics. In pop songs, like Don't Stop Believin', the chords are played mostly in harmony.

  • @lifedeathatoz A chord played in what is called "harmony", is a chord where you press down all keys at the same time, but you can just as well play a chord in "melody", which is what he is doing. Any song you play (basically) is made up from chords played in melody :)

  • all ur videos i have seen so far have been a great help, but this video confused me a little, aren't u playing plain notes???

    I mean ur right hand is not playing any chord, m i right??? coz if i am not wrong chord is when multiple keys are played at the same time... please clarify, thanks...

  • I have been playing by my ear all these years, but only the basic notes/scales... i am trying to learn/understand/identify chords by ear these days....

  • Wow, the Add2 chords are a lot easier to understand on piano. I know about the I-II-III-IV-IV-V-VI pattern for guitar but understanding and applying that to piano is just sooooooo much easier!! I'm sure your method of teaching has a lot to do with it. THanks for the info! Maybe I can impress my church keyboardist with some of this info hehe...
