Hey everyone, Jacques Hopkins here,
and I teach the fastest piano lessons on the internet
over at pianoin21days.com.
And in this video, I'm breaking down all the barriers
when it comes to learning how to play the piano
because I'm going to show you how you can be playing
your favorite songs on the piano in just four minutes,
even if you've never touched one before.
So if you don't know how to play the piano,
just looking at one may be intimidating and overwhelming.
And that's because we've got these white keys
and we've got these black keys,
what's the difference between them?
Well, I'm here to tell you there is no difference
between black and white keys.
We literally could have 88 identically looking purple keys,
but then how would you know where you are on the keyboard
at any given time?
So that's the reason we have white keys and black keys
is so that you know where you are at any given time.
The next thing we need to do is learn the names of the keys.
Now you don't need to memorize all 88 keys
because we have these sections of 12 keys
that just repeat themselves over and over again
across the entire keyboard.
So let's focus in on one of these sections
and learn the names of the keys.
[C] The white key just to the left of any two black notes
is a C [Ab] key and then [C] from there,
we continue down the alphabet
and go to the right on our keyboard.
So we have [D] C, [E] D, [Fm] E, [G] F, G.
Now the [C] alphabet starts over after G in music.
So we're [Dm] going to go A [E] and B next.
[N] There's our seven white keys,
let's learn the five black keys.
Black keys are named by the white key they are next to
and they also have the word flat and sharp in them.
The way this works is a sharp is a black key
just to the right of any white key
and a flat is the black key
just to the left of any white key.
[Db] So for example, right here, we've got C sharp
and then this [N] is also called D flat.
So every black key does have two names.
So now we've learned the names of every key
on the entire piano.
The next thing we need to do
is learn how to play some chords.
Chords are just multiple notes played at the same time
and they're the foundation for the songs
that we want to play on the piano.
The majority of chords fall into one of two categories.
We've got major chords and we have minor chords
and you don't need to memorize all of them,
you just need to know the simple formulas
and once you know the formulas,
you instantly know how to play all the chords.
So for example, the formula for major chords
is simply four, three.
What does that look like?
Let's say we want to play a D [D] major chord.
We'll start at D, go up the [Eb] very next four notes,
[B] one, two, [Bm] three, four,
and then the very next three [Eb] notes, [Dbm] one, two, [D] three.
That's a D major chord.
Let's say instead [Fm] we wanted to play a D minor chord.
[Dm] The formula for minor chords is reversed.
It's three, four.
So we'll start at D and [Eb] go up [Db] three, one, [Fm] two, three,
and [Ab] then one, [Dm] two, three, four.
There's D minor.
So [Fm] now you know how to play all [N] the major
and minor chords on the piano.
How do you know what chords make up the songs
that you want to play?
For that, we just turn over to Google
and in this case, I want to play All of Me by John Legend.
So I'll jump on Google and I'll type in All of Me chords
and the first result is almost always a good one.
So in this case, it looks like the beginning of the song
is E minor, C major, G major, and D major.
[Em] [C]
[G] [D]
So hopefully you can hear that [Em] this sounds like
All of Me by [C] John Legend.
[G] [D]
There are more advanced [E] techniques
that you can start adding in there
and make the song better and better over time
and with practice and eventually,
the chorus can [G] sound something like this.
[Em]
[C]
[D]
[G] [E] If you want to continue down this path
