Hey guys! I hope that you are learning a lot from my videos! In this week I talk about some serious minor chords! They are the ones without sharps and flats! D minor! E minor ! A minor! Craziness!

I hope these are helpful! Now you know all the chords!

By the way, I know what you’re thinking! Piano is for lamos, why would I want to learn piano? Guitar is where it’s at! The only people who play piano are old fogies who are dead like Beethoven, Bach, and other crappy old composers.

But there are actually tons of cool bands that play piano! Here are just a few: John Mayer, Coldplay, Elton John, The Fray, Aliscia Keys, The Beatles, The Fray, Gavin Degraw, Radiohead, Muse and Eminem!

So ha!

Hey guys

My name is Rafe. I am in a band called Trick of Disaster. A few years ago I made a video called learn piano in 3 minutes on a whim, and now it has over 130,000 views and gets over 300 views every day. So because of that, I decided to make a lot videos. The idea here isnt to take someone from moderate to expert, but to take someone from beginner to moderate. I try to keep things as simple as possible, starting at the very beginning. It doesnt matter how inexperienced you are, the idea is Im trying to keep it so easy that even a novice student who has never seen a grand piano before will learn something.

Amazing Grace

admin — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 22:53:48 +0000

05-Dec-2007, Alfred’s Basic Adult Piano Course Page 94, For myself… this song is like a dictiation back to primary school, Because I just can’t keep looking at the book and watch the keys at the same time!! I will just somehow lost where I am at easily, and keep my head up and down throughout the song, and I can’t manage to not looking at the keyboard and keep my eye on the book as this song needs me to move my hand left and right quite frequently, so at the end I just give up and TRY to remember the song, just keep looking at the keyboard, but still, you will see me confused a few times in the middle of the video ^_^” ….

admin — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 01:08:00 +0000

‘Alone Together’ – Jazz Piano Lesson. Another of my recycled/updated live played midi files from my site at http://home.wanadoo.nl/dougmckenzie/
This my latest attempt to create a lesson on a video. This time, as well as the audio, piano view, scrolling transcription, chords and annotations, I have added as a separate view the leadsheet I used that scrolls along in sync with the improvised piano. Because so much is happening on the screen, you may want to download a free, much clearer to view stereo version and the leadsheet from my website at
http://www.bushgrafts.com
Also on my instructional video (see details on my website) there is a printable pdf version of the transcription, and also a bass/drums backing track to play along with.

If you have a fast connection and want to see this in high quality video to see the notes clearly click on this – http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=OqIwIr8HwR4&fmt=18
There are lots of versions of this song on youtube – most played in this key.

Learn Piano in 10 minutes – Learn to Play Bubbles in the Rain

admin — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 03:55:49 +0000

Here are the lyrics:
I know a girl, she’s like a rainbow
And she’s read the golden compass, likes elvis
And I think she’s pretty special to me
Well I think she’s really special

Chorus
She plays with bubbles in the rain (I like her like that)
She makes me feel like I’m famous (I like her like that)
and she is going out with my good friend
And that’s cool with me cause she’s still my friend
And she sings my songs while we play with bubbles in the rain

I know a girl she’s like a bookmark
And she’s got her own ideas about religion
And she did better on the LSAT than me
And I think that’s pretty special

Chorus

Bridge: This is where I get poetic
Just a little bit prophetic
Telling all the world about how I think it’s supposed to be
But I don’t know much right from wrong
I’m just a writer of a song
She says shut up sit down and sing your preach song, to me
(Key Change)
To me

Chorus
