One Rhythm Pattern Is All You Need to Create Music on Piano (Part 1)
Using just a one bar rhythm pattern on the Piano, let’s explore all the possibilities for creating music - Melody, Chord Patterns, Finger Exercises, Drum grooves & Basslines. We use a simple chord progression over the eighth note rhythm and build block chords, broken chords & arpeggio patterns. Ideal for improvisation, rhythm training, and just overall fun on the Piano! This is a 2-part series. Make sure to watch the second part as well! 🎹🎼 Join my Piano (+Theory) course & exclusive learning community (Members Only): https://geni.us/PianoCourse ☑️ Subscribe to our channel: https://geni.us/NathanielYouTube ✅ Donate on PayPal: https://geni.us/DonatePayPal 📜 Register for our Virtual music courses: https://forms.gle/zjYzJzPyNMon2Dhm6 👨👩👧👦 Follow me on Instagram and send me your recordings: https://instagram.com/jasonzac 🎧 Listen to Jason Zac Music: https://geni.us/AbsenceYouTubeJZB 00:00 Performance 00:36 Introduction 02:35 Building Eighth note patterns 06:16 Let’s learn the Rhythm Pattern 11:05 Part 1: Drum Groove with Chords 19:23 Part 2: Chord Pattern with Bass roots 26:20 Part 3: Bassline over the Pentatonic/Blues Scales Work on your “Rhythm Chops” - https://geni.us/RhythmChops Lot’s more Left-Hand Techniques - https://geni.us/LeftHandPiano Work on your Hand Independence - https://geni.us/HandIndependence 🔴 Piano Exercises - Beginner, Intermediate & Advanced - https://geni.us/PianoExercises 🔵 Beginner Piano Lessons - https://geni.us/BeginnerPiano 🟠 Ear Training - https://geni.us/EarTraining 🟣 Arpeggios - https://geni.us/Arpeggios ⚪️ Music Theory - https://geni.us/PianoTheory ⚫️ Chord Inversions - https://geni.us/ChordInversions 🟡Create MUSIC on the PIANO - https://geni.us/compose ———————————————————————————————————————— 📧 Customized Classes: music@nathanielschool.com 📞 +919845465411 💬 https://geni.us/WhatsAppChat ► More riffs here: https://geni.us/JasonZacRiffs ► Music Theory lessons: https://geni.us/PianoTheory ► Beginner Piano lessons: https://geni.us/BeginnerPiano ► Ear Training: https://geni.us/EarTraining ► Left-Hand Workout: https://geni.us/lefthand ► Compose Music: https://geni.us/compose ► Hand Independence: https://geni.us/HandIndependence ► Arpeggios: https://geni.us/Arpeggios ► Visit our website: http://nathanielschool.com ————————————————————————————————————————— Our recommended musical instruments & studio gear are based on your budget and your exact requirements Best Digital Pianos (Budget) 🎹 ✅ Yamaha Digital Piano P45 - https://geni.us/YamahaPianoP45 Yamaha Digital Piano P125 - https://geni.us/YamahaP125 Yamaha Digital Piano P71 - https://geni.us/YamahaP71 Korg B2SP Digital Piano - https://geni.us/KorgB2 Casio PXS300 Digital Piano - https://geni.us/CasioPXS3000 Best Beginner Pianos 🎹 ✅ Yamaha PSR E373 - https://geni.us/YamahaE373 Yamaha PSR E363 - https://geni.us/YamahaE363 Yamaha PSR E463 - https://geni.us/YamahaE463 Yamaha PSR EW310 (76 key) - https://geni.us/YamahaEW310 Best MIDI Controllers 🎹 ✅ StudioLogic SL88 - https://geni.us/SL88MIDI Roland A88 - https://geni.us/RolandA88 M-Audio Keystation 88 - https://geni.us/MAudioKey88 Arturia KeyLab 88 (Essential) - https://geni.us/KeyLabEss88 Nektar Impact LX88+ - https://geni.us/Nektar88 M-Audio Hammer 88 Pro - https://geni.us/HammerPro Arturia KeyLab 88 (MKII Hammer Action) - https://geni.us/Arturia88 StudioLogic SL88 Grand - https://geni.us/SLGrand Novation LaunchKey 61 - https://geni.us/LaunchKey61 Nektar Impact LX49+ - https://geni.us/Nektar49 Audio Interfaces 📱 ✅ Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 - https://geni.us/Focusrite2i2Scarlett Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Studio - https://geni.us/Focusrite2i2Studio Focusrite 18i20 - https://geni.us/Focusrite18i20 Microphones ✅ Microphone Shure SM57 (Dynamic) - https://geni.us/ShureDyna57 Ashton Microphones Origin (Condenser) - https://geni.us/AstonOriginMic Microphone Shure SM58 - https://geni.us/ShureDyna58 Microphone Sennheiser E835 - https://geni.us/SennheiserE835 Microphone Sennheiser E845 - https://geni.us/SennheiserE845 This is an audience-supported YouTube channel.
