  2. bestinthebusiness says:

    The song is called Lean On Me, not Stand By Me, lol but still great video

  3. M0rganstudios says:

    Lol…haha..you’re right! wtf was I thinking?

  4. tekniklypyro says:

    idk how much you know about a piano, and im not claiming to know everything, but a triad is not a chord. a general rule for chords is in “steps”, including black notes. the general rule is 4 half steps, (a half step is white note to black note) to your first key, then 3 half steps to your second key. no metter which note yo u start with on the piano it always works this way.

  5. M0rganstudios says:

    Yes I know this, I’m not going that far with it at this point, to not confuse people. I don’t introduce chromatics until much later. I don’t think I ever equate triad to chord. There’s lots of chords that aren’t triads for sure, then there’s arpeggios of course. I actually have a degree in music theory from UNT.

    tekniklypro you have to know the basis of the music industry before you can even play, i mean if you dont know your sharps or your flats either F C G D A E B, and B E A D G C F, then i don’t think this would work out for you, M0rgan you should give a tutorial for flats and such if possible.

  7. M0rganstudios says:

    I already have a video with sharps and flats in it. It’s later in the series. They don’t need them at this point. This is only the second lesson in the whole series!! XD

  8. tekniklypyro says:

  13. M0rganstudios says:

    I explain all that in the tutorials. Too big of a subject for comments.

  14. M0rganstudios says:

    (move to part 2 vid and keep going, I have a playlist on my channel)

  15. TheBeatlesL0VE says:

    are those the basic positions for chords?

  16. M0rganstudios says:

    yep :)

  17. TheBeatlesL0VE says:

    you should show us how to play diffrent positions to all the basic chords and is it “stand by me” by John Lennon?

  18. M0rganstudios says:

    I believe Stand By me is by Ben E King. It has a cool bass line but you wouldn’t play it in triads like you do Lean on Me.

  19. MrTamaMan says:

    thanks, Im going to learn the keyboard as I’m already a drummer, very helpfull!

  20. Traxsmyth says:

    Lean On Me by Bill Withers, Club Nouveau remade it in the 80’s.

  21. jpjames1 says:

    What about the black notes

  22. M0rganstudios says:

    black notes in chords? I don’t go over that till later. Gets too confusing. Part 15 is where I introduce them.
