Master All Your Piano Chord Inversions Starting From a Pivot Note
Here's a simple exercise to practice all chords, major and minor, with their inversions in both hands using block chords and arpeggios. Using a single triad, we connect its notes to every single major and minor chord that shares a common chord tone between them. To practice this on piano, the common note is anchored at the top position in the right hand and at the bottom in the left hand. We start with G and the six triads that contain it, then move the anchor note to B and D. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 - Performance 00:32 - What you will learn? 01:56 - Starting off with G Major with its Inversions 02:57 - Chord Trees 03:17 - Triads that have G in them 04:53 - 6 Triads that has note G 05:20 - Now for the Exercise 06:59 - HLML Arpeggio 07:25 - Minor Chords with the “G” Wall 08:39 - Practicing all 6 Triads 10:35 - Exercise in both hands 11:24 - Expansion of the Arpeggio 12:08 - Left Hand Pulse 13:04 - Expanded Arpeggio in RH & Slow Arpeggio in LH 13:33 - Clashes are avoided 14:05 - Changing the Anchor Note 15:36 - Mapping Chords w.r.t B as the anchor 16:40 - B as the wall on top 17:22 - Both Hand together with arpeggio in RH 17:39 - Expanded Arpeggio in RH 18:28 - Mapping Triads that has note D 19:01 - Picking “D” as the anchor 19:21 - Let’s train our Ear 19:48 - Arpeggiate RH & LH 20:09 - Future Practice 21:01 - Conclusion ============================= 📹 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/ #ChordInversions #Triads #PianoPractice
