Voicing Chords Made Easy on Piano Using Major & Minor Thirds

This lesson helps beginners navigate difficult chord progressions and improve piano accompaniment skills using just major and minor thirds. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music shows you how to use just major and minor 3rds in the right hand, floating the left-hand bass with single notes, to build almost every triad, seventh chord and even some complex jazz voicings. By pivoting the thirds against a moving bass, you can voice rich harmony with very little hand movement — making tricky progressions far more manageable. It's a beginner-friendly approach that instantly improves your accompaniment. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 - Performance 00:47 - Introduction 03:30 - Build Major 3rd from D 04:29 - Building from D to F♯ 04:53 - Let’s Look at the Chord Tones 06:15 - Changing vibe of D Major 07:15 - Make the Chord Progression Longer 07:56 - Lets look at other Bass Notes 10:55 - Use it in Passing Context 11:38 - ⚠️ Playing Chord which are not part of the D Maj Scale 13:22 - Lets Study the Min 3rd 16:11 - Using the C♯ Scale 16:51 - 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/ #ChordVoicings #PianoChords #PianoAccompaniment
