How to Count & Feel 6/8 Time on Piano Using Arpeggios (Part 2)
6/8 time confuses a lot of players — this lesson helps you understand and count it on the piano using arpeggio patterns. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music explores the 6/8 time signature on the piano, using various arpeggio patterns over a chord progression. In this Part 2, you'll go beyond the simple triplet and eighth-note approaches to use accents across the six sub-beats for a busy and a lazy feel, plus irregular odd-number groupings. You'll first learn the most important, popular ways to play 6/8, then make the six feel sound unique with accents and non-chord tones. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 ============================= 📹 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/ #CompoundTime #PianoArpeggios #TimeSignatures
