Im a pretty young pianist you could say, at 13 years old and have been playing for 6 years. I really want to progress even more and get better I take part at the school band for example and my teacher actually gives me motivation. I don’t want to flex or anything, just want to tell you that this actually helps, because ppl always ask me to play things, and chords are pretty important in plying by ear. You really make me happy with your piano vids, so fun to have fun learning something😝greetings from Germany bro👍

@matticawood 2 месяца назад

They definitely are important for playing by ear! I’m glad you like my videos and find it fun. 😊 At 13, imagine what you will be able to do on the piano in 10 years time. 🤯

Hey I'm from Germany too and always wished to play the piano but just had the possibility to start as an adult with nearly 40 years so your son lucky to start early and that consistent! Whish you all the best!! 🎹💖

@Sebbe777 2 месяца назад

About a year ago I was at a family members funeral. At the funeral there was someone playing the piano. I was never a musical person and really had no interest in classical music or in the piano. I have no idea what piece the person played but it just hit me. It was the first time i really listened to someone playing the piano and it was beautiful. After the funeral I tried searching up the song but never found it. And also that day I ordered my first electrical piano. I've been playing the piano almost everyday since then and I thought about writing some pieces myself and ended up here. This was a really good and clear video and I'm gonna be watching alot more of you in the future.

Not a funeral, but my "heart-stirring song I can't find" piece for the longest time like this was Gymnopedies no. 1 by Erik Satie. It was maddening. Took months to finally stumble on it in a video, used as background/mood music. All three Gymnopedies are powerful. Hope you can find your song.

Although I already know music theory, the way you explain it to new people is so amazing. Not everybody can do this. Keep up your great work!

You have the gift of teaching. You make the concepts easy to understand. There are a lot of outstanding piano players on RU-vid as you are, but don't know how to teach effectively. But you do. Thank you

@zehrakhan3246 2 месяца назад

You are such an amazing educator, who can effectively demystify many seemingly complex theories. It is demoralizing for self-teaching learners to build technical skills without proper instruction and guidance. I didn't even know what I didn't know before watching your videos.

@LadanzaTube 2 месяца назад

Nothing totally new for me but what a fantastic video all explained so good and well structured. Best video on that topic I watched!! But please now make as such a video that is about playing song covers with melody in the right hand and left hand patterns in the left. Please focus on left hand patterns and when to use which one and how and why in the left hand. Talk about arpeggiated patterns and rhythmic patterns so we can play a cover on the piano if we know the melody for the right and know the chords (no matter if we have a Leadsheet or sort it out by ear) Please do such a video. I would really appreciate 🎹💖🎹💖 and I'm sure more people would too 🙏🏻🙏🏻🤗

Just came by to tell you, that videos like this trully make a difference. As a classical pianist, I have been struggling to understand how to play pop and rock songs on piano so that they dont sound plain and empty and your video "8 levels of playing chords" really helped me in that and this one is even more in depth! Thanks for doing this, I will be looking forward to other videos like this!

@richpeeps515 2 месяца назад

I believe Advanced vs. Professional are at best subjective terms and are interchangeable. I know plenty of people who play professionally but play at intermediate/advance level.

@matticawood 2 месяца назад

Indeed…the entirety of music is subjective really so it is more about; how well can you produce the sound that you want - then it’s trying to remove the limiting factors, either information or technical. I also happen to know many that play professionals that are limited in either knowledge or technique and therefore can’t produce the range of ideas that they would like to. The level names don’t really mean anything, it’s just a more fun way of labelling them rather than “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”. 😊

It’s in G minor - G A Bb C D Eb F and it’s: chord 6 (Eb G Bb) chord 1 (G Bb D) chord 7 (F A C) chord 1 (G Bb D) Just with arpeggios and a melody (and a randomly loud section) 😊

@dhnguyen68 16 дней назад

Thank you, it is relevant for me to understand the music harmony. But sharp means one semitone up. “One key up” is quite confusing, for instance D is one (white) key up from C.

@matticawood 16 дней назад

No problem 😊 The closest key to the right of a C (up 1 in pitch) is the next black key rather than the white key. The reason it’s better to think of it that way is because an E# is the same as playing an F 😊

hi matthew thank you so much. now im one of ur loyal subscribers. i got a question, what if playing in other scales other than major scale? then it wont be M m m M M m diminished,, would be something else, right? are there similar fomula or how to decide... i heard there are tons of weird scales out there.

@romanoromano1487 7 дней назад

Is adding 7th notes in triad called dominant 7th? Is this the same?

@matticawood 7 дней назад

In music “dominant” means note 5 or chord 5 in a scale. So in C major, the dominant chord is a G chord. A dominant 7th is chord 5 in a scale with the added 7th to it. So the dominant 7th in a C major scale is a G7 chord (GBD-F). A dominant 7th is a unique type of 7th that has the important function in music of confirming the scale that’s being used. The reason for this is because it’s the only chord type where it’s notes can only be seen in 1 scale. So a G7 (GBDF) confirms the key of C major because a G7 won’t be seen in any other scale. 😊
