Color Your Piano Chords With Ringing Notes (Sus2, M6, Add4 & 7ths)
In this Piano tutorial, you'll learn a voicing technique that adds depth and color to your chords using ringing notes, inspired by the open strings of the guitar. We work in the key of E major and let the root, 3rd, 5th, 2nd, 4th, major 6th and 7th ring over the chords, with Country Roads as an example, and then look at the ringing E, G, D and C. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 - Performance 00:57 - Chords from the Perspective of the Guitar 02:31 - Open Notes on the Guitar 04:06 - Key of E Major 04:18 - Root, 3rd & 5th 04:34 - Available chords 04:58 - All Diatonic Chords with E Ringing 07:18 - Practice Method for Pianists 08:29 - Ringing the 5th - B 09:12 - Ringing the 3rd - G# 10:59 - Ringing the 2nd - F# 11:58 - Ringing the G# with Country Roads 12:33 - Ringing the A - 4th Interval 13:13 - Ringing the B - Perfect 5th 14:28 - Ringing the 7th 14:56 - Ringing the C# - Major 6th 15:25 - Picking Add Notes Chord by Chord 16:29 - Part 1 - Conclusion 17:28 - Guitar Notes that Ring 17:54 - The Ringing E 18:51 - Simplifying the Process 19:48 - The Ringing G 21:09 - The Ringing D 23:36 - The Ringing C 24:30 - Final Thoughts ============================= 📹 Our Video Courses (Everything for Life Bundle) ➡️ https://learn-music.nathanielschool.com/ 🎹 Piano Courses & Private Lessons ➡️ https://piano.nathanielschool.com ============================= ▶️ Related Lessons & Playlists 🎵 Music Theory lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/PianoTheory 🎹 All our lessons on Chord Inversions (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ygtrGwGFmfyvMyGWH52EC 👂 Ear Training lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/EarTraining ============================= 🎓 Learn Music with Nathaniel School of Music & Jason Zac ➡️ https://nathanielschool.com 📚 All our YouTube lessons (1000+) by skill level, topic & genre ➡️ https://learning-portal.nathanielschool.com ============================= 💰 Donate on PayPal ➡️ https://geni.us/DonatePayPal 📸 Instagram ➡️ https://instagram.com/jasonzac 📞 Call +91 98454 65411 · 💬 WhatsApp chat +91 77604 56847 📧 Customised & Private Classes ➡️ music@nathanielschool.com 🎧 Listen to Jason Zac Music ➡️ https://riffs.jasonzacmusic.com/ #PianoVoicings #Sus2Chords #PianoChords
