The 2 most important books
These two books are 2 of the Essential Series ! Major Key Scales/Chords (Green) & minor key Scales/Chords (Purple)
These two books give you access to EVERY chord you will ever need to play piano. This seems basic…and it would be if I had not labeled every chord according to the number system IN RELATION TO THE KEY ITS IN!!! Every minor & major key scale is in these books WITH the chords that go along with each and every scale! This means, if you practice and memorize these scales and their respected chords….. you will then have knowledge and mental bandwidth to grasp EVER song structure that exists and translate it over to piano!
This is how I got so good! I play by ear…but underneath the hood (my mind), THESE 2 books are WORKING! When I learn songs, I listen for the BASS notes first! THEN I start pairing chords to those bass notes. This is how I formulate the songs I learn by ear, you see there is a formula to it. But a major part of my method is PAIRING CHORDS. How can I pair chords to bass notes I find if I don’t know many chords to begin with?? Well, not only do I know MANY chords….I know ALL the chords (the basic versions at least, which is all you need). I know them all because of these two books! I know the patterns of songs when I find certain notes because I’ve learned every scale in minor AND Major. The number system is so crucial, that is why I explain it in BOTH these books and the chord progression books as well!
Both these books are free and unlocked so you can go and start training NOW so you can flow on piano SOONER than LATER!
