Hi,
would you like to use four piano chords
that you can use to play pretty much
every pop song under the sun?
My name's Jazer.
Let's play some piano.
[Music]
What did I just play?
I just played a chord.
What's a chord?
A chord
very simply
is two or more notes that I played at the same time.
Now in today's tutorial,
I'll be using
chords
that have three notes each.
Let's start with the first one.
We're first going to play the C major chord.
What does C major chord consist of?
C
[Music]
E
[Music]
and G
[Music]
let's play that together.
[Music]
Let's try that again.
C
[Music]
E
[Music]
and G
[Music]
play together.
[Music]
There you go. You just played your first chord.
And that chord his called C major.
Let's move to the next chord.
The next code we're going to learn
is the G major chord.
The G major chord starts on G.
[Music]
Next we have B,
[Music]
and then D.
[Music]
let's play that together.
[Music]
Now if you've noticed something,
the C major chord
and the G major chord
have the exact same structure.
They just placed...
They just played at different spots.
So if I played C, E, G
[Music]
[inaudible]
and I wanted to play the next
G major chord,
all I have to do
is keep that same position
and move to G
[Music]
and that will give me G major straight away.
Next chord we're going to learn
is A minor,
A minor starts on A
and it has the same structure as the ones before.
So we have this one, A
[Music]
C
[Music]
And E
[Music]
Let's play that together.
[Music]
let's play that again.
[Music]
Cool!
We have three chords so far.
Next up we're going to play
F major.
Let's go to that.
So we have F
A
and C
[Music]
Let's play that again.
[Music]
let's recap what we have so far.
We have the C major,
[Music]
we have
the G major
[Music]
we have the A minor
[Music]
and we have
the F major.
[Music]
Now, if you're wondering why
the A is called minor
and not major,
it's called minor because
this chord is a sadder chord.
So
Because of the spacing between each note
this chord if you can hear,
[Music]
it's a bit sadder
than the other ones.
Okay?
But for now,
that's not a concern for us.
All we have to know
is the C major chord,
[Music]
G major chord
[Music]
A minor chord
[Music]
and F major chord.
[Music]
If you know those chords,
you're pretty good.
[Music]
So as you just saw,
once we learned those four basic chords,
C major,
G major,
A minor and F major,
you can play a lot of pop songs that you hear on the radio.
Now, if you like any tutorials for any of the songs I play,
or you have any requests for
tutorials, for the songs,
just let me know when to comments and I'll do a tutorial
if people are requesting for that.
So that's it for today.
