This Mind Blowing Hack Will Change Your Piano Life! 

Thank you for purchasing and for this great explanation. I really need you on marketing team as I couldn't have put this better. Thanks!

@@martinfinnmusic Martin, you should make a set of cards for shell voicings (Maj7, m7, Maj6, m6/dim7, mMaj7). Anyone can cut up a piece of folder board and draw the lines but it would be nice to see it done right.

Thank you! Yes, isn't it?

Really? You get taught this in grade 1 piano lessons

Not in my inn the area where I live. I have no need to lie to you about anything. But, still thank you so much for your knowledge. Best wishes.

What a lovely comment. I really appreciate everything you have said here. I am delighted that you got so much for it. I think everyone should know about this. When I first realised it for myself, it changed the way that I saw piano playing for good. The very best of luck to you from Ireland! Take care. Martin

​@@orrinbynum5978same here. I have been playing for a while and this was never shown to me until this guy. This shows that no matter how much we know something, we can ALWAYS learn something new.

I appreciate your last message Mr. Martin. I am from Baltimore in the US. I lived and a very poor area in my city and my mom could not afford to pay piano lessons but, she was able to get me a used piano around age 13. I started learning piano in high school. I learn a few things for free the free class I got there. I didn’t really have great piano teachers until I got into college. That is where things got a little more serious. I majored in voice because it was easier to get through the music program that way. However my 2 child came and disrupted my college education. So I have to leave and get a job to take care of them. They are grown now and I still got a chance to play music in churches and I learn a lot of things from listening to gospel recordings and I was a choir director/musician and that allow me to make a little money to help me take care of my children along with my post office job. When I came across your video I said this is opening up something new to learn different types of scales. That is why it was so eye opening for me because I am still teaching choirs at my age and I am pretty good at it. I hope to put out my own music for my bucket list this year. I am hoping that some folks will like my original songs. Thank you again for your knowledge because I am really got to make great use of the knowledge you gave me in my own music. All the best to you in your future musical endeavors. Have a wonderful day and musical life.

Crazy, right?! I think that everyone has a way of understanding these things only to find the right angle.

Horses for courses. :)

Yes, it’s such a game changer when you see it. Fantastic that you realised it yourself. Such a buzz when it happens and so simple once you see it. Re playing big chords with finger and thumb on white keys - essential. Otherwise you are very limited.

Yes, you're right. It's just an attention shift. I love the reveal when it happens. Re moaners - you're always going to get them!

Fantastic! That's amazing. Thanks for buying. Good luck with it.

No, you're Kidding, right 😂😂 ?? It is TOO obvious. So you've NEVER looked into the TOP half of the keyboard to see and NOTICE that the thickness of the keys is in fact all EQUAL 🤔🤔 😆😆???

Thank you very much. Crazy, right?!

As a student of mathematics, I am constantly amazed at how one textbook or video can present an old idea in an innovative way. As for the fact that this idea existed back in the 30s, where is that 94 year old publication? 😞 Right, no where! 😐 I really appreciate this lesson.

@@TebogoMotlhale Please oh wise one, grace us with your superior knowledge and great virtuoso skillset. We beg you to teach us the proper way to play the keyboard as we realize that you and ONLY you have the answers to music and life in general!! We beg of thee, show us, teach us, train us!!! 🙄

@@TebogoMotlhale nope

Thank you very much for your kind words. I'm thrilled. Yes, great for a guitar player coming to piano.

Haha!! Thank you. You are so welcome!

@@martinfinnmusic😂

Interesting way to reinforce the learned theory and transform it quickly into practice opportunities

I agree any new song ive learned i can hear my mistakes instantly just knowing how the song should sound, and im 100 percent a visual learner

Hey, thanks Rik! I’m delighted you like it and that you find it helpful. The very best of luck to you with the playing. :)

Thank you! I'll admit that the video is a bit click-baity but I wanted to get the message out there. Great comment and the best of luck with it all. Martin

Yes! I love the simplicity of it. I get a buzz everytime someone says it blew their minds. :)

Hey, thanks for purchasing. It was a lot of work but so worth it. The process itself actually taught me a lot. If need any help with any of it, let me know. 😊

Wow! Thanks for sharing. I love hearing that. Every day is a school day. Good luck with the playing.

You were on to it! So many people see it and it changes everything for them. Well done on that. Keep up the good work and you will discover all of the rest.

Thank you for your kind words. Yes, I love showing this to my students. Some of them get a shock!

Hey hey! Thank you. 😊

No way! That's so interesting to hear of the breadth of your education and experience and that you can still experience the revelation!!

I really appreciate that. Thank you for the comment and good luck with the playing.

Mind blowing for sure. It still gets me sometimes!!

Yes. It really helps to demystify the keyboard and solidifies the shapes of chords and scales in people's heads. Thank you.

Hee hee. 😛

I’ll take it. Thanks! 😂

Thank you very much! ❤❤

You're very welcome! Thank you. :)

Thank you very much. Yes, it is as simple as I can make it. I realised when I took up the guitar as a teen that that instrument is just another series of semitones and that all instruments (in western music anyway) are set up the same. Good luck with the playing. Keep challenging yourself and practice every day. :)

Hi Jim, thank you for your message. I really enjoyed reading it. Sometimes a simple reframing like this can make all the difference in your playing. I’m always keen to understand what’s going on under the hood - why and how songs work etc. Re having all the widths the same - maybe but you can be sure that there was a good reason they did it the way they did. The collective wisdom of the masters of the past can’t be beaten when it comes to refining instruments. The very best of luck with it all!!!

Thank you for your response, Mr. Finn. It means a lot. Good luck. Jim DeMian

Thank you very much. I never tire of it!! :)

Haha! Delighted. It really is. I'm still getting over it. :)

Really appreciate that. The world should know these things!

Thank you too! Yes, it is a very accessible way for anyone to learn chords, scales and arpeggios. Thank you for using it. Martin

Thank you!! :)

Thank you very much. Yes, it's all about the shapes. :)

Thank you for your kind words. Not earth shattering maybe, but can be a game changer if you didn't see it.

It's earth shattering for those like myself who can't break through the technical jargon or visualize the spoken explanation.

@@martinfinnmusic absolutely 👍 keep up the great work

As earth shattering as any totally new idea on a 300 year old instrument can be. Changes how I teach.

It's kind of obvious that those patterns just move up and down. But remembering those patterns when the keys look different in various positions is difficult, the idea to print cards for this really is a great idea.

Much appreciated. I hope you get great use out of it. I know I have!

Thank you for that!

I'm thrilled. Thank you back!

Nice one! I'm delighted. Good luck with it all! :)

Wow, Rose! You've just made my day. I'm delighted that you have found my guides a help. If you are anything like me you just want to know what to play and how to play it. It opens the whole thing up. The very best of luck to you with it all. Martin :)

Too kind!

My pleasure. Thank you. :)

Thank you so much. I really appreciate that!!

Yes indeed. They are essentially the same but with a different set up.

Brilliant. I wouldn't lie to you!

Thank you so much in return!!

Hey, that’s fantastic. I’m delighted to hear that and I wish you the best of luck.

Thank you!!

My pleasure. I hope you shock them at one of the rehearsals by launching into Eb minor. :)

Thank you!

Thank you very much!

Thank you for that!

Glad it was helpful! Thanks.

I love it. I've only just recovered mine from when I saw it first!!

Thank you very much. Yes, all this is true. You only have to see this once for it to make a permanent difference to your understanding of these concepts and getting or making the guides solidifies it. :)

My pleasure. Thank you!

It sounds like you have an ear for it and believe me, that’s half the battle. I hereby give you permission to become a piano player. Go for it!!

I appreciate that. Thank you very much.

Ha! Thanks. :)

Great comment. Thank you!

Thank you! Cheers!

Yes, indeed, you're right. You can see the pattern jump out at you.

Happy to hear that! Will do. :)

The Martin Finn Method? I like the sound of that! Thank you for your kind words and for a great comment. If I can help you with anything, please let me know and good luck with the playing. :)

So generous of you. Thank you sincerely.

I've done my share of goofing off too! Yes, it's great to get an insight like this to make you realise it's not as hard as you thought.

Thank you! :)

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks very much. I'm so happy about that.

I think so anyway!

Thank you, friend!

Fantastic! It’s my pleasure and thanks for that tip about the printing too.

Thank you. I think so anyway!!

Thank you! Yes, the idea is to create a really simple entry point for people. I don't think it sacrifices anything in the process. As you say, it helps in building muscle memory. :)

Nice. Thanks!

Thank you for that lovely message. Yes, please use it and let me know how you progress. I'll be sticking around, don't worry!!!

Thank you. I'm glad! :)

Thank you. The method you describe is a very useful one. However we come to our realisations is unimportant I think once we have them and can move to the next level up. I am a visual learner and it works very well for those who learn this way. The very best to you in your playing!

Welcome aboard and thanks!!

Thank you so much, Tom. Good luck with it all!

Yes, that's right. You are getting a lot out of this idea, it seems! One of my guides has chord inversions just like that. The jazz pack is in the works too. If you are having any trouble buying the pack, let me know. Martin :)

Thank you, Chris. If you are having any issues, let me know. :)

Thank you! Yes, I find it so I interesting. If you haven’t already seen it, check out my video about the strange mirror world of modes. I’m remaking it into long form soon. :)

@@martinfinnmusic Ha! That's awesome Martin, I am just about to make a quick video mentioning your great channel and concept, and I'm going to share something very simplistic about modes and how to find them, and what they mean using this method. This is very cool. I always knew a scale was tone-tone-semitone etc, but the relation to the fact that the size of the notes on the piano is static is awesome. Congrats mate! I'm just in the process of building up my channel. This is loads of fun.

Wow! You got a good start there. Definitely great for beginners and visual learners. :)

Delighted. Yes, dust off those keys. It's a sin to have them idle. :)

I think so too! Thank you. :)

Thank you! Cheers!

Really appreciate that!

Glad it helped!

Thank you so much. I made it as easy and accessible as I could.

Brilliant. I'm thrilled. Thank you.

You’re welcome. Thank you!

Thank you for the great comment. Very indepth. You are of course describing the obvious next step. That idea has been on my mind for a while now. Watch this space. Good luck with the playing!!

Thank you for that. I'm delighted to have that effect on you. :)

Thanks for the comment. Yes, everyone has their own way of understanding. For me, I struggled with learning scales from books. Maybe it's my ADHD, but I was impatient for the information. I wanted to just play. When I discovered this, it was the best single musical revelation I have had. :)
