10000 Reasons (Bless the Lord) piano tutorial in the key of E

Hi there!

Hope you are growing as we try and share more lessons on how learn how to play the piano or keyboard. I'd like to thank all for supporting this blog. It means a lot! It also encourages me to continue to practice as well.

Today I would like us to examine the song "10000 Reasons" by Matt Redman. It is going to be in the key of E. We sing this song in church and it's one of my favorites, so I thought I'd share it with you. I have added a video tutorial first which you can watch on my Youtube channel or just click on the video below:

Minor triads with inversions in all 12 keys

Hi there everyone!

I have uploaded a lesson similar to last week's one, only showing the minor root chords with the inversions.

Here is the video:

Major triads with inversions in all 12 keys

Hi everyone!

Today I want us to look at something for the beginners. This lesson was inspired due to many people I personally know, who struggles with playing basic triads in all 12 keys as they start out.

It is VERY important that you practice these chords, for as you grow, you will realize that chords are being used across keys, e.g. If you were to practice a 1-4-5 in Eb, you will play Eb-major to Ab-major to Bb-major. If you were to play that same progression in the key of Bb, you will use Bb as 1 and Eb as 4. So as you can see, you will use these chords over and over in different keys. So please make sure that know them without thinking!

Here's a video showing how to play all 36 chords:

6 Different ways of playing the 6-2-5-1-4 progression in the key of E

Hi there

Today we will be looking at playing the 6-2-5-1-4 (Circle of Fifths) progression in the key of E. You will be able to play 6 different ways at the end of this lesson, of which 2 are for those playing left hand bass, and the rest are for those playing with a bass player.

So here I have added the video lesson:
