Piano - Chord Progressions Series (Major) Part 1

1. Maj chord pro (intro) final cut: Have you ever wanted to know how chords work together? How they connect? How you create songs with courts? How they create a harmony and a backbone for a song. Hi, my name is Eric, and I'm a tutor for Play Skillfully. In this course and series I'm going to be showing you a variety of different or progressions that are used in various genres of music. So we're going to look at the major chords, the minors, the extension of these chords as well, and how these Cads can work in a progression. All this is going to be shown to you in this course. I would love you to join this course if you're that person that struggles to put your chords together. If you're a songwriter and you need chords that will help you in your songwriting, this course for you, if you are a beginner and you want to learn some basic progressions, this course for you, even if you're more advanced, but you still struggle with putting course together and knowing which chords work together. This course for you. I hope to see you in this course and I look forward to teaching you. I'll see you all, you'll see. 2. Chord Progressions Explained : So what is a core progression? A core progression, or also known as harmonic progression, are a succession of chords that could be linked with the notes within the scale or sometimes they may not be linked. Let's use a C major scale as an example. Explained progressions. An easy way for you to grasp core progression within songs is by using the number system, which I will show you throughout this course. I'm going to break this down to you now using the C major scale. For example, in the C major scale we have to note C, D, E, F, G, and B. So let me explain this using the major scales. All the major scales and minor scales have the same character of calls that are linked to them in every key. For example, in the key of C major, the very first note, which is C, has the major code that is linked to it. But also if you go to the first note, which is going to be D, has the D major cord connected to it. If you go to the major call be the first note will be on, the first note will be connected to the first note. The major note will have the major code connected to it, and so on. The second, let's just use C major, for example, is going to be D. All the second notes within the major scale have a minor cord connected to it. The second within the C major scale is D. The D minor cord is connected to the D note in the D major scale is the second note within that scale. The minor cord is connected to the, every second Ne within the major scale is connected to a minor chord. And the third note within every major scale is also connected to a minor cord. The fourth Ne within the major scale is connected to a major cord. In major will be connected to the major cord. And the fifth note is a major again, the fifth note, and major is the fifth note, and D major is A. And the sixth note within every major scale is A minor as well. The seventh note within every major scale is A diminished. All right, that's all the calls that are associated with every note within the major scale. How do we now create a call progression from this information that I've given you? Again, let's use the C major scale for an example. The first note within the C major scale is, and we now know that the first note is linked to the major. The first note will be major, we say we want to connect that to the fourth note. The fourth note, we now know is also a major, which is F major. We will say that is a 14 progression going from one, which is the major, to four, which is the major. Let's now add another call to this progression. We have one which is major four, which is major. Let's now add five. Now we know the fifth note within every major scale is a major as well. The fifth note in a C major scale is, now we have major, major and major. We would call that the 145 progression. And that will be the same within every other key. If we was to move this progression to the D major key, it will be like this. One in D is D major four in D is major, five in D is a major, right? Because one is always a major, four is always a major, and five is always a major. That's basically how it all works. This was just a short overview of what they call progression is, and I will see you in the next lesson. 3. 1 - 5 Progression Intro: For our very first progression, we are going to look at the 15 progression. As I mentioned before, the one is a major. In any scale you're in, any major scale that you're in, five is a major. In any major scale that you're in as well in C major, that would be major and major. By the end of this lesson, you'll understand how the 15 progression works in all the other skills as well. I'll show you this next up. 4. 1 - 5 Progression Lesson: Hey guys, we're now looking at our first progression which is the on E five progression. We're first going to look at its progression in the key of C. And as I previously mentioned in the introduction, the 15 progression is to. In the major scale. Yeah, because it's one which is 2345 to the. I'll compare it to you first. So I will first demonstrate this to you, then I'll break it down. It goes like this one more time, it's 151y1 plan, is that major cord. Then I'll jump up to the major cord. Go down to the major cord. But what I'm doing in my left hand is I'm playing the bass part, so I'm playing the C to C like that. So we can put it all together will be like this. Yeah. And that's basically All right. Play that along with me after 41, 234-123-4123 and the game 12341234. And that is basically so that's how we play in the C major scale. If you can remember how the G major scale goes, it goes like this. 12345, we're going to stop the first five notes. The first note is, and the fifth note is D. Now all we're going to do is play the G to the D major. Back to major we put altogether, it'll be like this. To that, yeah. Still, one more time. So the left hand is doing the try with me now after four nights and slow, 1-234-123-4234, Okay. Next in the circle. Fifth is going to be the D to the D major scale. Again, the first ke of the D major skull is obviously D, keep going up fifth. The D major skull is A. So the 15 in the D major scale will be Major, Major. Back to D major, just like that. We add the base then, yeah, then put it all together to like that. So let me count you in off the 412, 341-234-3234, All right, next in the circle is going to be a major. So I hope you understand the pattern to this. It's pretty straightforward. All we're picking up is the first note and the fifth note of the scale. And the first and the fifth notes of the scale is going to be a major card for the A major Cadjiftheat. Back to A. Just like that. Very simple. All right. Do it one more time. So is, so I'm now going to go to the next scales a bit quicker because I'm sure you understand the pattern by now. The next note in the circle of fifth is going to be in the scale. It's going to be, it's the first note in the major scale and the fifth note is B. All right, So now we're going from the major. Major. Two major, yeah. Pretty simple. All right. Next note in the circle of 512345 is B. All right. So in the B major scale, we've got the first note which is B and fifth. No, which is F sharp. The B major, called the F sharp major card. Then back to the major card. All right. Next note in the circle. Fifth is going to be shop. All right? F sharp is the first note. C sharp is the fifth. No. 35. All right. So going from F sharp to shop. Yeah. Very simple. Now, I'm not going to play the rest for you because No, I want you to figure out the rest by yourself. Now this will be your task to play the 15 progression in the rest of the circle of fist I've not shown you so far. Okay, so practice the ones I've shown you so far. But also I want you to practice the ones I've not shown you. Just remember I pick up the first and the fifth in that scale and play them as major chord going 1-5 to one. All right, so all the best with that guys, and I will see you for our next progression. 5. 1 - 4 Progression Intro: We're now going to look at the on E four progression. One is always a major as I already mentioned, and four is also a major in any major scale that you're in. All right, so in the C major scale, that would be major and major. All right, so I'm going to show you this next up. 6. 1 - 4 Progression Lesson : Now looking at the 14 progression. This progression is similar to the 15, but we're just added in the four instead of the five, we're going in the C major scale. It will be to the which is the fourth note in the scale, then back to like this major major practice that one next in a circle. Fifth, we're looking at the major major. In the major one is the G, as you know. And four is the C, so it goes from G major to major two. Then next in the circle of five is the D. D is going to be D to back to D. All right, so it's D major two major, back to major Y. All that I'm showing you, practice that. You can pause and practice what I'm showing you. All right. The next in the circle of fifth is a major scale. We're going from A, the D today. All right? So A major to D major. Two major, all right. Next in the cell fifth is the scale. The first note in the major scale is fourth note in the major scale is A. If you know there's a pattern in all the scales, the second note in every scale is the first note in the previous scale, all right? As you see, is the first note in that scale of major, then A is the second. But A was the very first note in the previous sale which was a major. Yeah, it goes like this. Major, major, major. All right. Work on that for me. The next circle of five is the major scale. It goes like this then, which is from the previous scale, which is the major scale, then back to its major, back to major. The last one I'll show you before you figure out the rest of the scales and circle by yourself is the sharp major. Sharp major will be the first one. Then we go to major, which is the fourth note in that scale. It's sharp major, major to sharp major. All right? So now figure out the rest of them by yourself. Find the first note and the fourth note and play those chords and put them together. All right, and I'll see you for our next call progression. 7. 1 - 4 - 5 Progression Intro: For our next progression, we're looking at the 14.5 progression. So that will be major, major, and major in the C major scale. Also, I will show you songs that have the 145 progression found in them as well. So I'll show you this next up. 8. 1 - 4 - 5 Progression Lesson : Now we're looking at our 145 progression. So it goes like this in the C major scale. So we're going from the C major to Major major and back to C major. All right, one more time. Left hand will B, C, the F The right hand to the major major. Back to major. All right, if we go now to the next scale in the circle of fifth, which is it goes left hand first finger, fourth note will be fifth note will be D. Then back to, put that altogether with the Ds, it'll be major, major, major, major. All right, so now the D major scale, it will be A. Then with the major, major, major, major, major scale, then we go to at the D major, major, major, major in the major. Do it with the, it'll be like this major, major, major major, the B scale. It'll be B F sharp, the major major, F sharp major. Then to the next one is going to be sharp F sharp with the calls will be F sharp major major, C sharp major to F sharp major. Now guys, try and do the rest of the circle by yourself. As you've done with the previous progressions, we're going from one to the four to five, and back to the one, all right. All the best, and I'll see for our next call. Progression. 9. 2 - 5 - 1 Progression Intro: Next progression is the 251 progression. Two is always a minor, so that will be D minor. Five is always the major, so that will be jump, and one is always the jump. This progression is used a lot to end songs off as well. So I'm going to show you a few songs that has this progression found in them as well. And also you will understand how to play this progression in other keys as well. I'll show you this next. 10. 2 - 5 - 1 Progression Lesson: Play the 251 in C, Let's play the base part first. The left hand, so it's going to be, then, just like that, adding the calls, the two is going to be the minus. It'll be D minor five we know is major, then one which is major. Let us now do this in major. The second in the major scale is a fifth, D, F. The two in G is going to be a minor to major, two major. All right, let's go to the D. Now the second note in D major is fifth. First note is the calls will be minor to major to D major. All right. Next in the circle is a second note is going to be A. That'll be minor major to A major. Do that again. Minor to major to A major. Next in the circle is second note will be sharp then to B, then to, so that will be F sharp minor to major major. Next in the circle is going to be second in the B major scale is C sharp sharp to B. So that'll be sharp minor, F sharp major major next in the circle, F sharp. Second F sharp major scale is sharp, fifth note is C sharp, and first note is F sharp. The calls will be sharp minor to C sharp major to F sharp major. I would like you to now figure out the other scales by yourself with the calls, the 251 progression, and I'll see you for our next lesson. 11. 6 - 2 - 5 - 1 Progression Intro: Our next progression is the six to 51 progression. The sixth no is always going to be connected to the minor chord in the C major scale. The six will be A, so that will be A minor. Then we go down to the D minor. To major, and then to major. I'll show you this next up. 12. 6 - 2 - 5 - 1 Progrssion Lesson: All right, so for the 6251 progression, we already know the 251 progression. So all we're adding now is the six, the sixth note is A minor. The sixth note will be the A in the C major scale. A second note is D, as you know. Then we go to, then we go to one. All right, And the minor to minor to major, major. All right. Excel***t. Now let's go to the major scale. The sixth Ne in the major scale is, it'll be the sixth. No, to the second, which is the fifth, which is. And then to one which is all right, the six. N is going to be a minor. It's going to be in the six. A minor, which is the second to major, which is the fifth. Then to major, which is the one. All right, let's go now to the next one, which is the sixth note in the D major scale, is it's going to be minor to, which is the M. Two to A, which is the A major, which is the five into the one which is D major. Let's add the chords now. It's Min min, which is two A major, which is five major, which is on the next in the circle is A in the A major scale. Our new node is going to be shop, which is the sixth Ne in that scale. So it goes to the six, which is shop, which will be A minor to the two, which is a B minor to the fifth, which is the major. Then to the one which is a major. We add the chord sharp minor, minor, major, major. Next up is the major scale. The sixth note is the C sharp note to the two, which is sharp to the five which is and the one which is. We put it all together with the will be sharp minor to sharp minor to major major. All right, let's go to the major, which is the next note in the circle. The sixth note in the major scale is sharp minor, the two which is sharp minor to the five, which is F sharp major, and to the one which is major. If add the chords, it will sound like this. Sharp minor to sharp minor, to sharp major, then to major. Our next one before you do it all by yourself with the other scales is sharp. The sixth N in the F sharp major scale is D sharp. Second is sharp fifth is C sharp major, then sharp major. It'll be D sharp minor to sharp minor to C sharp major, then to sharp major. Okay, all the best in doing it by yourself now, and I'll see you for our next call progression. 13. 3 - 6 - 2 - 5 - 1 Progression Intro: Our next progression is the 3,625.1 progression we're now adding, the free fur is going to be a minor chord. If we're using the C major scale as an example, it will be minor to a minor to minor to major major. I will show you this next up. 14. 3 - 6 - 2 - 5 - 1 Progression Lesson: And now it's the 36251 progression in C major. It'll be like this. Deferred in C major is six is A, then 25 is one, is three is a minor. And it goes like this with a calls will be min, which is the 36 will be a minus, as we know, the two minus five major, then one just like that. All right. Let's go to the, it'll be free. Which is B minor to six minor to the two, which is A minor to the five, which is D major. And to the one which is major like this minor, minor, minor to major, then to major. All right, let's go to the D major. Deferred in the D major is F sharp minor. Then we go to the six, which is minor. Then to two, which is M, to the five, which is a major, and to the one which is D major. It will sound like this, sharp minor minor, which is the six. To the second, which is minor to the fifth, which is a major to the one which is major. Okay, excel***t. Next one now is the scale. The third will be sharp minor to six, which is F sharp minor to two. Which minor to five, which is major and one which is A major. Let's put that together now with the Dot minor shot minor, minor, major, major. Okay, for the B major scale, the three will be shot minor, six which is shot minor to the two, which is shot minor to the five, which is shot major to the one which is major. If I add the cords in the right hand, it will sound like this. D sharp minor to sharp minor to sharp minor to sharp major major, just like that. We are now going to look at the sharp major scale. In the sharp major scale, the fern is A sharp, that'll be a sharp minor to the six, is D sharp to the two, which is sharp minor to the five, which is C sharp major and to the one which is sharp major. So I'll put it all together, it'll be like this with the D. A sharp minor to D. Sharp minor to sharp minor. Sharp major, Sharp major. All right, so I'll want you to work on that for me. And do the rest of the scales in the circle by yourself. Find them by yourself. And then once you can do that, join me for the next progression. 15. 7 - 3 - 6 - 2 - 5 - 1 Progression Intro: Next progression is the 736251 progression. And the seventh note in any major scale is connected to the diminished chord. Now the progression will be in the C major scale. B diminished to minor to A minor. Minor to major, and then to the major. I will show you this next up. 16. 7 - 3 - 6 - 2 - 5 - 1 Progression Lesson: We're now looking at the 736251 progression. So in the major scale, the seven will be B free. As you know is the 62 is five is and one is. As mentioned in the introduction, the seventh note is a diminished chord in all the major scales. Okay, With the chords it will sound like this. That'll be seven. There'll be B diminished to minor to A minor, minor to major, major. All right. Now let's go to the major scale. Quick way to find the seventh n in any major scale is just go back one behind the root note of the scale. If for example we're in G, which is the root N of the scale, major scale, then behind it is sharp. That sharp will be the diminished or the diminished, the seventh note in that scale. And that is for all the major scales. All right, so we're looking at the seventh, which is the sharp diminished. Then we're going to the three, which is M, then to six, which is Min, then to two, which is A minor. Then to D, which is major and which is major. So it will sound like this. 736 to 5.1 of the chords. 73 minus six minor, minor, minor major. Okay, let's go to the D. As I mentioned before, the seventh will be behind the root, so then now it will be sharp diminished. Going to the three, which is sharp minor. Then to the six, which is minus, then to the two, which is min, then to the five, which is A major. And then to the one which is D major. Let me play in the left hand for you first. All right, so the right hand, 736 to 5.1 All right, now we're going to the A. The seventh note in the A will be sharps behind the A note, which is the root note seven. Then we're going to the 36251. So I'll play in the left hand first, so it goes like this, 736 to five. Let me end on the one which is a major just now. All right, We'll go to the major now seventh Ne will be D sharp diminished. Then we go to the three which is shot in, then the six which is so min. Then to the two shot, minor major, then major. I'll play it for you in the left hand first. Practice that in your left hand. Then at the right hand. So it goes like this with both hands. 736 to five, then one, okay? Next one is the B, again, seven note is going to be a sharp diminished. Then we go to the sharp minor, which is the third. Then six is the G sharp minor. Then C sharp is two, sharp is five, then back to one, which is B. I'll play it in the left hand first like this, then put both. It will sound like this and they will have it. All right, in the last one, before you attempt to do it by yourself, will be from the sharp scale. Our seventh note in the sharp major scale is then go to the three, which is a sharp min, then go to the six, which is sharp minor. Go to the two, which is sharp minor. Go to the five, which is major, and go to the one sharp major. All right, so I'll put up altogether, go to go to the third, which is a shot major minus, sorry. Then to the sixth, which is the D sharp minor. Then to the second which is sharp minor. Then to the fifth, which sharp major? Then to the one which is sharp major. All right guys, now that I've shown you what you need to do now, do the rest by yourself in the circle. All right? And I wish you all the best in trying it out. Just take your time guys, and I wish you all the best. 17. 1 - 5 - 6 - 4 Progression Intro: Progression is the 1564 progression. And this progression is actually very popular and is used a lot in pop music. The chords in this progression, if it was played in a major scale, would be major as one, major as the five, A minor as the six, and major as the four. Okay, so I'm going to show you this next up. 18. 1 - 5 - 6 - 4 Progression Lesson: We're going to look at the 1564 progression. I'm going to show you in the right hand, then the left hand, and we'll put them both together in the right hand. The one will be the major cord, the five will be the major cord. The six will be the A mind, the four will be the major. So that one more time to hold each call for 4 seconds. It's the major. 1234 to 1234 to -1,234.1 234 in the left hand play the so 234 to go. 2341234 to 123 for joining. Now, 234 to 1234 to 1234 to 1234, Okay. So once you can do those hands separately and put both hands together, and let's play together after 4 1 2, 3, 4 1 2, 3, 4, 2, 3, 4, 2, 3, 4, then 234, and again 1234 to 1234 to 1234 to 123.4 All right, and that's how we play the 1564 progression. 19. 6 - 1 - 5 - 4 Progression Intro: Next progression is the six on E54 progression, another popular progression used in pop music. If this was being played in the major scale, it would be a minor as the six, major as the one, major as the five, and major as the four. I will show you this next up. 20. 6 - 1 - 5 - 4 Progression Lesson: Guys, I'm going to show you the 6154 progression. So as we know guys, the six is a minor, then the one is major, then the five major, then the four major. Do it again. A minor to major, to major, then to major. All right? And the left hand will just be a minor to and then to the F. Okay. So work on that then. We're going to put it all together now. All right. So hold every call for four counts after 41234. A minus 234 to 234 to 234 to 1234. And again, a 234 to 1234 to 1234, then 234. All right. So welcome that guys. That's the 6154 progression. 21. 6 - 4 - 1 - 5 Progression Intro: Our next progression, which is also very popular, is the 6415 progression. In the Q, C major, the six will be A minor, the four will be major, the one will be major, and the five will be major. All right, so I'll show you this next up. 22. 6 - 4 - 1 - 5 Progression Lesson: Okay guys, so the final progression I'm going to show you is the 64 on E five progression. So basically the same numbers as the last progression, but we're mixing it up a little bit. Okay, So that's 6415. How pay? This one is like this. It goes to the 61234 to 4234 to 1234 to five, again, a 1234 to major, 1234 to major 234 to Jain, 24 to 234 to 234 to 234. That is how we play the 6415 progression. I now encourage you to go through all the progressions to be done so far and I'll see you in the next section. 23. Section 2 - Introduction: Welcome back guys. I hope you're not able to understand how these Corp progressions work together in this section. I'm now going to show you how these Corp progressions are used in various songs, from various different genres of music. And hopefully this section will also encourage you in your own songwriting endeavors as well. All right, so check this out and I hope you learn a lot from this section. I'll see you soon. 24. Beyonce - If i was boy: Hey guys. No, I'm going to show you a few songs that use the six for 15 progression. So I'm going to play the progression for you first in the key of C major. Then I'm going to play in the keys of the actual songs that I'm going to show you next. Okay, so I'm going to play in major first. The sixth called in the major key is a minor minor. The four is major, the one is major, the five is major. All right. Play it with me. I'll play it nice and slow. Let me just do one hand at a time. So I'll just do the right hand. So we are going to hold each card for four counts. Okay? So let's start off the 41234, Go A 234 to 234. To 234 to 234. So I'm now going to add the single base notes for each card. A will be of the ad will be of the C called, et cetera. All right. So we're going to do that now. So we're going from A then to then to All right. So we put it all together will be like this. 234 to 234. To 234 to 234. Okay. So let's put that all together. Now join me after four counts, 1234234 to 234. To 234 to 234. Okay. Excel***t. So we are now going to move this to a new key which is going to be the key of shop major. In the scale of shop major, we know in the key of shop, the sixth note is shop. The fourth n is the first no is shop, and the fifth Ne is shop. We are now going to apply the same calls we've done in the C major key. All right. Now the D sharp will be D sharp minor. The four, which is B will be major. The one sharp will be sharp major. The five, which is sharp will be sharp major. All right, and this is the actual key of the song we're going to do next. Play this with me. We'll do the right hand first, the left hand afterwards. Just join me now guys, for D sharp, it will be D sharp minor 1234, then we're going to major 1234, then we're going to sharp major 234, then C sharp major 234. All right, now add the left hand, so it will be like this. We are now going to add the left hand, so it will be like this. D sharp 234 to 234 to sharp 34 to shop 23.4 Okay, so that's the actual progression of the song. I'm going to show you next. The song I'm going to show you next is a song by Beyonce, and it's called, If I were a Boy, this song is in the key of sharp major. As I just showed you just now, we're holding D sharp for two counts, for two counts, F sharp for two counts, and C sharp for two counts. So it'll sound like this when you hear it. So it goes D sharp two, then two, then shop two, then C sharp two, shop 212, shop. That is the actual progression. Alright, It might be a little bit faster than what I'm playing now, but I'm going to play it for you first, then we'll come back afterwards. So as I play a song to you, I want you to use your ear to listen up for the progression and try and join in. All right?
