What’s up my piano friends! Today we’re going to go over 4 simple chords you can use even as a beginner to play hundreds of popular songs on piano. Now, this is the simple, easy piano version. You could learn this in anywhere from one day to a week. Literally most beginner’s I’ve taught have learned this thing in about 3 days!
We’re going to simplify it by using some Music Theory Hacks - Don’t worry, you won’t have to understand exactly how they work. Just like you don’t need to understand electricity to use a light switch, you can just use these chords without understanding any of the advanced theory behind them.
So first off, I’m going to show you the exact NOTES of the chords. Next (THIS IS IMPORTANT) we’re going to go over the SYSTEM to learning them. A lot of beginner piano players don’t drill in the chords properly, and they end up frustrated and annoyed when it comes out sloppy, or when they can’t get hands together. But we’re going to eliminate that frustration by drilling it in step-by-step and using some techniques and strategies meant to solidify it into your muscle memory (like “The Four Rhythms!”)
And lastly, we’re going to talk about how to use “Money Patterns” and “Money Variations” to take this pattern to the next level - basically, these are simple variations in rhythm and timing we can easily learn withOUT changing the notes themselves. And it can give you a great way to spice up this chord progression when you use it in actual songs.
Oh, and sidenote: learning this can also help you start to develop some basic improv skills… so it’s like a 2 for 1!
Make sure you download the cheat sheet here to get started:
CHEAT SHEET INSTRUCTIONS:

2. Sign Up with your name and email (yes, it’s really free lol)
3. Scroll down to the bottom and click the “Learn 4 Chords Learn Hundreds of Songs” link

He is selfless and one of the people on this earth who use their knowledge to help others, even if it’s through a screen and about piano, it doesn’t make a difference.

If you want to learn how to play piano just stay on the piano for all course and practice. You will be amazed at what you will accomplish! Here's the link to the video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hdSmm9RquNXeZnk.html To anyone who wants to learn to play piano as well: - Focus fully on your practice sessions, avoiding distractions. Be present and attentive to the sound, feeling, and technique of your playing. Mindful practice leads to more effective learning and progress.

The last time I took piano was like 50 years ago. Typical scenario, I took it because my parents made me. Got out of it probably after a year. I feel like I never got past single note drills and kids Christmas songs. Pretty much hated piano. Now I’ve had a miracle! I’m no longer tone deaf and I’m singing on our church choir and I want to learn piano. I’ve been watching all the beginner piano lessons I can find on KZfaq, and I’ve found your the easiest to follow. I like the handout, single handed left rhythm drills, then right hand chords without moving around the keyboard. Best of all I love following your lighted keys above your keyboard!!! Somehow by watching your keys I don’t have to keep looking down at mine and lose my place when I would normally need to take my eyes off the video to see what I’m doing, if that makes sense. I’m excited to continue practicing your drills and make real progress that I can feel and hear. Thank you for making it accessible for me with little musical experience! The only thing that almost scared me away at the beginning was when you introduced chords that were not at the root, the way I learned from other videos, but once I got far enough along I saw why. I’m so glad I hung in there so I could see how quickly I would be able to play piano with two hands! That’s crazy and makes me want to learn more! Thank you!

UNTIL you broke those down and provided tips! It's mindblowing when you understand the structure that moving fingers inside the chords makes all the difference, it's EASY. At the end of the video I already know how to play these and now I only need to master these and add rythm. Simply amazing! Thank you so much!

I have always loved playing the piano, even though I never traditionally learned it. Growing up I would sit in front of it and just play random songs and beats, but I loved the sound, it really resonated with me and helped me to express myself. I've been in a very deep depression for a few years and haven't been able to find a solid hobby or even be motivated to do anything in general. However, after I found your videos, they have inspired me to start to play the piano again (and actually learn it) this time! This is the second video I've watched from you and I appreciate the encouragement for when things get tough to learn, since that is when I get scared or discouraged, thinking I'm incapable of learning it 😢 Playing the piano again, even for the bit I have, has been very therapeutic for me. I really appreciate your videos for sparking that in me again, so thank you again! Please keep them coming 😊

I’m 70 years old and starting to learn how to play piano. I’m a bass player on the worship team for my church. Zach, you made me finally get this. Thank you for your time to teach people how to play. You’re awesome. God bless you for your endeavors.

This is my second day playing the piano. Yesterday, I watched your first piano lesson, and today this video. Thank you for the exercises for muscle memory too. I can’t believe there is a free great content like yours. Thanks a million! I will stick to your lessons from now on!!

I'm 60 yrs old, a beginner, and have been playing songs with chords. This is great! I'm gettin' it, and this really is helping me use my left and right hand more than just playing a note on the left and a chord on the right, although even that's been great. I'm excited to learn more!

Your style of teaching is exactly what I wish I had 18 years ago when I started taking lessons. I quit out of frustration because I didn’t have the patience to study and learn how to read sheet music like my teacher wanted me to. Your videos are making me ecstatic to learn and play again!

I am a57 yr old lady, messed around with guitar years ago but nothing disciplined. I started cleaning, at my church. Of course there's a piano. I've only checked out a couple of your vids and I'm thrilled to say I'm getting it! We're talking a combined total of 45 min. Maybe hour. But I'm excited as can be. You teach way fast but thanks to tech I can slow you down or pause ya. Thank you, young man. From Billy Joel to some weird hymn I fully know the name of, I will play!!!!!

Thank you for the free lessons, and your encouragement! You are awesome!

I am 59 years old and took piano lessons for 2 years in my mid 20's. I did not keep up with the piano or the lessons because I was frustrated not being able to sit down at the piano and play without music in front of me. I decided I missed playing the piano and wanted to try again. I found this video and love the way you teach. After watching this video I can play the cords without any music. It is so much fun!

At 68 and recovering from hand surgery, I came across your amazing video and want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generosity in giving these valuable lessons. Over 50 years ago, I took accordion lessons and always wanted to learn the piano. I thought it would be an easy transition...wrong! Left hand wouldn’t cooperate. About 20 years ago I thought I’d get serious and actually purchased a baby grand piano. It’s a beautiful instrument that only gets dusted - until now. You’ve inspired me by your easy to follow instructions. And you are mesmerizing!!! I’ve got lots of practicing to do, but I’m more anxious then ever to start! Thank you!!

Great advice - really pushing the muscle memory idea and hitting those chords repeatedly until I'm getting bored. I've been having struggles with using both my left and right hands together using other methods - this is really helping. Used to play when I was a kid, but lost that ability. This seems to be improving that issue. Thanks so much!
