Worship Piano for Beginners LEVEL 2 [Play Amazing Grace with SUSTAIN CHORDS!]

1. Welcome to the LEVEL 2 Course!: Welcome to the level two of the worship piano for beginners course. This is a step-by-step, easy to fall out in-depth course for beginners. It is designed to help you master the fundamental techniques and skills to be able to play your favorite worship songs on the piano. In this level, two cores, you will be learning to read Nietzsche and to play worship songs with sustained chords. By the end of this course, you'll be able to play Amazing Grace using both of your hands and with using sustained chords. Now this course has two key components. The first component are, the lessons are scored, mastered a fundamental technique and theory that is going to help me play these worship songs. The second component, either lessons where I will be guiding you step-by-step in the practice process. Then you can simply play along with me so that you can master these skills and techniques. You will no longer feel lost not knowing what to actually do with all the musical information. You will be guided along with specific musical exercises that were afforded by your skills and technique. So you can reach me mastery and playing piano with expressive freedom. This course follows and builds upon the previous level one course, where you learn to read notes, to play major and minor chords from leeches, and to play in the 34.4 for time signatures with both hands together. If you haven't mastered these skills yet, I highly recommend you also check out the level one of the course first. All the skills build upon each other from level one into level two. So how do you take the course? Well, the skills and techniques learned in the lessons build up upon each other. You will learn more efficiently when the lessons are taken in chronological order. Hi, I'm Rio. A pianist worship keyboardist and instructive base and Netherlands. I'm so excited that you're here. And then we are going to be able to share this musical journey together. Now, let's get started. 2. Playing chords in 3/4 Time Signature: In this section, we'll be learning to play. Amazing Grace with both hands will be fortifying the skills that we learn in level one of the worship piano for beginners course. Now, let's get started. The skills we will review and fortify in this lesson are reading and playing from core charts, also known as elite cheats, and also counting and playing in the three-four type signature. I will also be sharing helpful practice tips in how you can smoothly transition between jumping chords later in this lesson. Now, let's begin by playing the first verse of Amazing Grace. As you can see, the song is in 34 time signature. And do you remember how in the level one of the course we played cornerstone in the four-four time signature. You also remember what the four-four time signature signifies. Well, as you can see, the bottom number for signifies that you will be counting using quarter notes. And the top number signifies that there are four quarter notes fitting in each measure. What is the difference when we play a song in the three-four times signature instead? Well, the bottom number four still signifies that you will be counting using quarter notes. But the top number tells us that there are actually three quarter notes instead of for fitting in each measure. And how do we count in a 34 time signature? Well, let me demonstrate. May swell. Now, I'd like you to come along with me as I demonstrate playing the first verse of Amazing Grace. Let's give it a shot, Ready? 1, 2 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3. Great job. Now let's have you play along to delete sheet. First. Do you remember the basic construction of major and minor chords? Well, major courts have four half-steps between the bottom and the middle note, and three-half steps between the middle and the top note. Do you remember what half-steps are again? Well, they are notes that are right next to each other. So these are half-steps, and these are also half-steps. How about the construction of a minor chords? Well, minor chords have three-half steps between the bottom and the middle note, and four half steps between the middle and the top note. So now that you've reviewed the major and minor chords, Let's first go through all the courts present in this verse. So here we got a C major chord with these three nodes, C, D, G. So we have four half steps between the bottom and the middle note. So 1,234.3 half steps between the middle and the top note. So 123. Next chord is C again, which we've already had. Then we have the F major chord. Can you find the F-Major chord on the piano? Yeah, those would be These three nodes. Then we come to that a minor chord. Now, remember that the minor chord has three half-steps between the bottom and the middle note. So 123.4 half steps between the middle and the top note. 1234, a minor chord. Now let's have you find the G major chord, which is in the next line. Feel free to pause this video and let's have you place your hand on the G major chord. Got it. If you've played these three nodes, B and D, You've got it right. So four half steps between the bottom and the middle node, again, 1,234.3 half steps between the middle and the top note, 123. So these chords are all that's needed to play the verse. Now, let's play the right-hand chords in the verse. I will first begin with a demonstration. Ready? 1, 2 3, 1, 2 3 1 3 3 1 3 3 3 3 1 3, 1 3, 1 3 3, 1 3, 3, 1, 3, 1, 3, 1, 3. Now, let's have you play along with me together. Remember, each chord is held for three counts. And take note that the C chord here and the a minor chord here repeat two times after each other. So they will be held for three counts for two times in a row. Now, let's give it a shot. Now please prepare by placing your right hand on the C chord. Ready? 1, 2, 3, 1, 2 3, 1 2 3, 1 3 3 1 3 3 1 3 3 1 3 1 3, 1 3 3, 1 3, 1, 1, 2, 3. Now, if it feels challenging to move your hands between jumping chords, here is an easy practice tip. So step one, you only play the bottom note of the courts. So instead of playing all three nodes all at once, just like that, you would start by only playing the thumb. So the bottom note of each of the chords, just like that. You see how it's a lot easier than having to play all three nodes. And two have to jump to different places at once. Now, once you get comfortable with playing the thumb only of the different chords, you can then add the pinkie. So this is step two. For example, when you take a look at the song, Amazing Grace, you see that in the beginning you have the jump between the C major chord, the F major chord. So in order to play this immediately, that can be pretty challenging. So what you can do is you can begin by only playing the thumb, just like that. And you go back and forth, back and forth and really try to feel the sensation of how far these two nodes are in your hands. Now, once you get comfortable with that, then you can add the pinkie. So he played the bottom note with your thumb and the top note with your pinky. And then you do the same thing with the F major chord. You play the bottom note, which is thumb, to note with your pinky. And then you go back and forth just like that. And you practice the jump by only playing the bottom note and the top note of each of the chords. Now, when you are doing this, instead of having to look at all two nodes at the same time. You can really focus your eyes on the thumb and follow your thumb back and forth. And in order to play the pinky accurately, what you can do is just to remember the sensation in your hands of how far the thumb is from the pinky and just maintain this rounded shape and just go from one place to another. And with your eyes you follow your thumb. Now, once you get comfortable with this movement, then you can add the middle note as well. So this is the last step. Now you can practice this way with any sort of jumps in the courts. Now, let's play through the song One more time together. That was great job. Now, feel free to rewind and to repeat this exercise until you feel truly comfortable playing this course along with the music. Now, let's move on to the next lesson to learn to play the left-hand baseline 3. Playing with all 5 Fingers of the Left Hand: In this lesson, we'll be learning a new skill. That is to play the left-hand baseline using all five fingers of your left hand now, but before we get into that, let's first begin by clicking the left-hand baseline nodes with the index finger. Now, do you remember in the level one course that we also played using only the left-hand index finger. You don't remember, you can always view those lessons in the level one course as well. Now, let me first begin with the demonstration. So that was nice. So when I am going to be playing the chord with my right hand, then I will be playing the note with the left-hand index finger. And when I'm going to be playing the F chord with the right hand, then I will be playing the note F with a left-hand index finger and so forth. So now let's have you first practice playing the left-hand alone. So you will be playing with your index finger on a different nodes before playing with both hands together. Are you ready? May I? Great job. Now, let's play with both hands together. Great job. Now we're going to introduce a new technique that we haven't done before. We're going to play the left-hand baseline. Not only with your index finger as we've been doing, but with all five fingers. When each finger plays the note that it is placed on. We call this playing with the five finger position. So instead of playing each note with the index finger, only, now we're going to be playing with all five fingers. Now, before we begin, I'd like to share with you and important piano technique about hand position. So when you are playing notes using all five fingers, make sure that your hand is in a natural rounded position. So I always tell my students, imagine if there's a little fluffy bird in find the palm of your hand. Or you can even imagine a wad of cotton ball inside that palm of your hand. You wouldn't want to crush this little bird with your palm. So you keep a little rounded space within the inside of your poem. Not like this with your flat thing. Errors are not like this with all your fingers clenched together, but your arm should feel relaxed and your hand is in its natural rounded position just like this. And your arms should feel relaxed, like they're just hanging from your shoulder joints. Let your arms here just droopy and if you feel any tension, stop Take a moment to shake out the tension and then try again. Now this position ensures that you can play with the most accuracy and endurance in the most natural way. When we practice playing in this position from the beginning of your piano playing journey, you can avoid any unnecessary cramps and pain even when you are practicing faster and for longer periods of time. Alright, now that you've got the correct hand position, Let's play the left hand baseline with all five fingers. Are you ready? I'll start with the demonstration. The left-hand baseline with all five fingers would be played like this. 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3. Now, let's have you play the left hand baseline with all five fingers. I will also play with the right hand. So you can play along with me. Remember to keep a round, natural relaxed position in your hands. The five fingers of your left hand are placed upon the nodes. With your pinky placed on the scene. The notes that your fingers are placed on are the notes that you're playing. So are you ready to play? 12? Sorry. Great job. How did it go? Now, please feel free to rewind and to repeat these exercises until you truly feel comfortable playing the left-hand baseline with all five fingers of your left hand. Now, let's move on to the next lesson and to play the verse with both hands together. 4. Playing Amazing Grace with all 5 fingers & with both hands together: In this lesson, we're going to play the verse with both hands together. Ready? Let's begin. When beginning to play a song. Always be paired by placing both hands in the position of where you will begin playing first. So in this case, we will place our hands on the C chord position. Ready? On, amazing, we have the ceases to chord with your right hand. And we simply play the note C with your pinky with your left hand. So let's have you also play along with me. So let's have you place your right hand on the CSS2 and then your left pinky on the seat. So amazing. And then all grace, we go back to playing a normal with your right hand and then the left eye keeps on playing. So we have amazing, Great. So all I did is actually switch my right-hand from going to the normal sequence. So I just simply started out with playing with the index finger on the team. When I switch to plane the normal seaport, then I play with my middle finger. So we have a scene graph. And then on how sweet we make this jump to the f s2 with your right hand. And then we play. So let's have you play that as well. Then with your left hand, we play the note, your index finger. So we make this switch from London. And then with your right hand we made this jump from the words to the test. So let's do that both hands together. So first chord, and then the left hand goes, the index finger in the right hand goes. So let's practice that a few times. So a chord C. When the jump to the back to see on sound. Let's have you do that along with me. And back to the C chord. So let's do that a few times with both hands together. Back to the C chord, and so on. Got it. Okay, so let's try to play the whole, entire first slide together. So that's how you place your hand on the ceases to, on amazing. Back to the normal C chord on gray. And a big jump on the system. Back to the C-corp. Got it on sound. So let's do it again. How sweet? The sound. Got it, okay, One last time. That faster now. How Got it? Okay, Now from the sound to the second line, see if there is a big jump in the right hand. So let's pay attention to that. So unsound we have seen corn, right? And then to go to that, see the right hand has to make this big jump to play. After playing C toward. Prepare your fingers for playing the a minor chord. Then with your left hand, remember how your fingers of the left hand, we're in the five finger position and your thumb was naturally falling on the G, right? But now we're going to stretch out your hand to be a little bit wider so that it can reach that. So your thumb was here to begin with, but then now it's going to stretch out so that it can leave a note. When we play an E minor chord on that same. So when we play from the sea to the E minor chord, you seen that not only is the right-hand making this big jump to play a minor, your left hand is also stretching out. Alright, so let's practice that transition from that. That that's any play along with me. Back to seek work a bit faster. So let's do that several times. Faster. One last time. Got it? Alright, so you've got that transition from the first line to the second line. Then let's start out from that state, the wretch. We start on the a minor chord. And then a wretch. It's pretty easy. And then on me, like me, though, right hand is going to make that shift one note to the left to play the four. And then with your left hand, it was playing that note song, right? But then what it's gonna do now is you see that your index finger of your left hand is already naturally falling on the note G, because we just that node a with your thumb of your left hand. So we're just going to play the note gene with your index finger. We used to play it with our thumb before, but because now it's in a stretched out position with your thumb and your index finger of your left hand is naturally going to perform on the G. So that saved a wretch like me. So unread. Thumb of your left hand on the a and then E minor chord, your right hand, your right hand makes that shift to the left by one note and then you play Jesus, for your left hand goes from the note to the note. Alright, so let's play that together. So first a minor, then Jesus for practice, just going back-and-forth. So minor again. G, a minor. Jesus, for, Let's play, play along with me. A minor. G, sus4, faster, a minor. Minor, getting us. All right, so once you've got that, then we simply end with playing the chord. So we go from four to the left end, just keeps on playing the G T times with the index finger. Now let's go on to the third line in the courts. And the third line is exactly the same as the chords in the first line, which is awesome. So on I, once we have the ceases to your right hand with your left hand, picky. I was as you can see, you go back to the normalcy court on loss. And then we make that big jumps to the right again on, but now, so then we have the f s2 on. But now then we go back to the sea. Was blind. We have this big jump to the right again. Stretch, stretch your hand. The left hand to play the note. She left him was blind. But now we go back by one node to the left. And then you put a Jesus for with your right index finger of your left hand on the button now. And then we make the big jump back to the ceases to then to the chord. Alright, You got this great job. Now, let's play through the verse together. Ready? 12312. The house was great job. How did it go play with all five fingers on both hands together? If you need more practice, there are also more exercises and then level one course as well. So check that out. Now you're able to play Amazing Grace using all five fingers and with both hands together. Now, let's move on to the next lesson. 5. Welcome to Section 2: Playing Amazing Grace with Sustain Chords: Welcome to section two of this level to course. And great job completing section one of this course. You've come so far and issue them following my courses from the first course in level one, you've really come a long way because you remember in the level of course, if you haven't taken it, you learn how to play cornerstone in the four-four time signature. And in this course, in the first section, you learned to play Amazing Grace in 34 time signature using both hands and all five fingers of both hands. So that's pretty awesome. Great job. Let's move on to the next session where you're going to be learning a new skill, which is to play a worship songs with sustained chords. Pretty exciting. So let's get started. 6. Introduction to Sustain Chords: In this lesson, we'll be introducing sustained chords. As you begin to play more songs, you may notice these small notations written next to the court in the lead sheets. These notations are called sustained chords. So SUS, SUS stands for sustained. And sustained chords can be noted with SAS to or just with the number two written next to the courts on lead sheets. And you can read them as a source to C chord or a sauce to F chord, for example, depending on the chord that you're playing. They are all sustained chords. As you can see, this lead sheet has such twos written next to the courts. You may have also noticed that some of the courts have sus4 written next to them instead of S2. They are also a type of sustained chords. And we will be learning about the differences between the SAS to and sus4 chords in the coming lessons as well. So what are sustained chords and why do we need them? And how do we construct them will be finding out the answers to these questions in the following lessons. Now, let's get started. 7. Constructing Sus2 Chords: In this lesson, we will be learning to construct sustained chords. Before we get into learning about how we can construct the sustained chords. Let's talk about why we use sustained chords. Now, it is because sustained chords add extra color and richness to the harmony. Now, let me compare by playing amazing grace with and without sustained chords. Let me start with the demonstration. First, I will play the song without sustained chords. Like how we've been playing it. My Oh. Nice. Nice. Oh. L. But. Next, I will play the song with Sustain ports. Ow. Oh L M worst W yes. So did you hear how the music sounded so much richer and more harmonious with the sustained chords. It's so much more beautiful, right? So now we know how sustained chords can add so much richness and color to the harmony. Now, let's learn about how we can construct the sustained chords. It's actually pretty simple. Remember how we learned about the difference between half steps and whole steps in the first course in this series? Half steps are nodes that are right next to each other in the keyboard and whole steps consists of two half steps. Now, let's try to construct a SS two C major chord. So how do we play this? First, identify which note is the root note or the bottom note in the C chord. Here's a C chord. Now, which is the bottom note? Yeah. That's right. It's the note C. Now count two half steps up from that root note C. Here's one half step up. Here's two half steps up, and now you come to the note D. Now, simply add that node D, the node that is two half steps up from the root node C to the C chord. A normal C chord has CNG. What happens when you add that D note? In total, you've got the note C D and g. Okay. When we play all those nodes together, it sounds like this. You notice that when compared to the normal C major chord, it sounds a lot richer. Now, you can play a sustained two chord in two ways. You can play a sustained two chord just like this with all these nodes. You've got the normal C major chord plus that D node. Or you can also take out the note, which is the middle note of the C major chord. Instead of playing all of these notes, you just take out that middle note, which is the, so you don't play the E, and then you just play CD and G. We were playing CDG before. But now we just play CG without the E. In essence, what you've just done is you've just replaced the original middle note. Which is this one in the C major chord. Now you play the D node instead of the. Do you see the difference? Here is a normal C major chord, and you take out the, and then you add the D. Now you've got c d n g. You can also call this a sustained two chord. First, we played a sustained two chord by playing the normal C major chord and then adding that second node, But instead of playing all of these four nodes, you can also just play these three nodes, C, D, and G, and this can also be called a sustained two chord. As you can hear, even without that middle node E, it sounds just as rich. Now, let's have you construct a sustained two chord. Since we've already made a SS two C chord, can you construct a two F chord as seen in Amazing Grace. First, let's have you play a normal F major chord. Y. So we've got A and C. Now, which note is the root note of the F major chord? Yes, that's right. The root node is always the bottom left note in the chord, which is the node F. Now, can you count two half steps up from that node F? We've got one half step up, two half steps up, and we come to the node G. Let's go back to playing the normal F major chord, which is F A and C. Now, and add that node g to the normal F major chord and we've got F A and C. We've got these four nodes. That's quite that. Now you've already got the sustained two F major chord. You can play with all these four nodes. Or you can also take out the middle note and then simply play F, G and C. This can also be called a sustain two F chord. You can play all four of these notes, A and C, or take out the middle note and simply play F G and C. Now you've got the sustain two F major chord. Great job. Now you've learned how to play SS two chords. Now let's move on to the next lesson. 8. Playing Sus2 Chords in Amazing Grace (Right Hand): Great job now that you know how to construct the Sustain Chords, Let's play Amazing Grace with the Sustain Chords incorporated in it. Let's begin. I'll start with demonstration. Alright, so let's play the first line of Amazing Grace with the Sustain Chords incorporated in it. So the first chord that we have is see Sus2 on the word Amazing. So that would be C, D, and G. See with your thumb, day with your index finger, and G with your pinky. And then on Grace, you go back to playing the normal C major chord, which is C, E, G. So can you see the difference between the ceases to chord and the normal C major chord here? Yes, exactly. The only difference is that on the ceases to record your playing the note D with your index finger. Then when we go back to playing the normal C major chord, you play the note E with your middle finger instead. So you're essentially just going back and forth between the the E, D with your index finger and with your middle finger. So Amazing zing Grace. Great. So what you can do actually is you can go back and forth, just switching between the seasons two chord and the normal see Chords ceases to normal. Maybe you can do it with me now. Ready? So heavier, thumb on the C, index on the D, and pinky on the G. So you've got the seesaw Sus2 Chords. Do you have it now? Okay, Great. Css2. And now move your middle finger on the and take off your index finger. And now you've got your C major. So you just go back and forth, ceases to say major. Now back to ceases to see major. So the, by concentrating on practicing these two chords, you can really fortify the switch between the Sus2 and the C chord. Great, So once you've got that down, then we go on to how sweet the sound. So as you can see in the lead sheet on how sweet on the word sweet, you have F sauce to. So as you remember, has this two is theft. G and C. Thumb, the F with your thumb, with your index finger and see with your pinky. Great. So from Amazing Grace, how sweet. As you can see, there's this big jump. So that can be really tricky from the previous lessons. Do you remember how you can practice these jumps? Yes, exactly. So you can focus by looking at your thumb. So first on Grace, your thumb is on the sea. And then on sweet, your thumb is on the F. You just begin by going back-and-forth with your thumb between the sea and the F. Let's have you do that with me. So you have C, C, F, and so forth. Great. And then after that, remember that you add the pinkie. So on the court, see you have thumb on the sea, pinky on the G. Then this is a C chord. And then when you move up to EF Core, do you have your thumb on the pinky on the see? You go back-and-forth both with your thumb and your pinky. Once you got that down, then you can add the third note. So on Grace is you can see you have C, E, and G. And the tricky thing is when we go from Grace with the C major chord to how sweet. He noticed that your hand shape changes So here we had the thumb, middle finger, and your pinky. But then on sweet, you have your thumb, index finger, and pinky. So not only are you switching your hand position from one place to another, you're also changing the shape of your hand. Thumb, middle finger, pinky. So let's have you do that first. On the C Major. Got it. Now, ready, prepare in the air that you are going to play with your thumb, index finger, and your pinky. Prepare these to read notes already in the air and then play that F sustain chords. So then lift your hand, prepare these two notes. As you can see, I'm already kind of like getting ready to play with my thumb, index and pinky, and I play the F on the F Sus2. Got it. So once he got these notes down, you go back and forth. See major. Prepare us to chord. Now go back to see major. And then a, again, absence two chord. Try doing that several times. C major, C major, F Sus2. And once you are used to it, you can get a little bit faster. See major axis to C major, F Sus2. Great. Got it. Alright, so now let's try the whole, entire firstline of Amazing Grace. So on. Amazing ceases to Grace. How sweet emphasis to the sound. See major. Alright, one more time. Amazing. So ceases to Grace. C major. How prepare sweet. F Sus2, the South Sea major. Great job. Now let's play through the first-line together. First, slowly and with counting. Ready? 1233333. Great job. Now let's play a bit faster with singing. Ready? Great job, learning to play Amazing Grace with the Sustain Chords incorporated in it. Now, let's move on to learning how to play with for Chords. Let's move on to the next lesson. 9. Constructing Sus4 Chords: Great job in learning to play Amazing Grace with SAS to courts. In this lesson, we'll be learning how to construct sus4 chords. Let's begin. Now. Let's take a look at the Amazing Grace lead sheet again. You may notice that there are some courts that have sus four with the next to them. Just like how the sustain two cores added rich harmonies to the music. The sustained for cords also add richness to the music are first demonstrate but playing a line of Amazing Grace without the sus4 chords. Then the second time I will play with the sus4 chords. Let's see if he can hear the difference. Here is the second line of Amazing Grace without the sus4 chords. May. It sounds rather simplistic right? Now. Here's the same line of Amazing Grace, but this time played with the sus4 chord. Can you hear a difference? It sounds a lot richer, right? So let's learn how you can construct and play the four chord. Now, it's also good to note here that a sus4 chord, or sustain four chord, is sometimes written simply with the notation sus4. So in this case G sus4, or sometimes it's written simply as G. For. Now, let's try to play this G sus4 chord on the second line of Amazing Grace. Now, how do we turn this normal G major chord into a Jesus four chord? Alright, so first you begin with the normal G major chord. Then you remove the middle node, which is the node B. Now you're left with the bottom note and the top note, which our g, n, d. Instead of playing the note B, you're going to replace that with the note C. So how do we know which node to replace the middle note with? Alright, so we get the notes C by counting down to half steps down from the top node. So 12, which is same thing as one whole note lower than the top node, right? So this is a top note, and then you get to the note C. So instead of playing G, B, and D, Now you're going to play G, C, and D. Then now you have the G cells for court. Great job. Now you know how to place us two answers for chords. Now, are you ready to play these chords in Amazing Grace? Now, let's move on to the next lesson. 10. Playing Sus2 AND Sus4 Chords in Amazing Grace (Right Hand): In this lesson, we'll be learning to incorporate the sauce to and sus4 chords in Amazing Grace itself. We'll first start with the right-hand, only. The beginning. Let's first practice at a slower tempo before we get into playing a facet them both ready? I'll start with the demonstration. So next, let's play the second line of Amazing Grace with the Jesus for court. Included. On that saved a wretch. We have the a minor chord with the nodes a, C, and E. So that's saved. Wretch and then or me. We go to the G sus4 chord. So this transition is a little bit tricky because you have to move your hand position one node to the left and change the fingers that you're playing with. So on a minor we have the thumb, middle finger, and pinky. And then on me, you shift your hand to the left OneNote and you have thumb, forefinger, and pinkie. So a minor. Now prepare G sus4 on the g, c, d, and now start going back and forth. Now play along with me, a minor, G sus4. Now back to a minor to the right. Now, Jesus, four to the left. With these three fingers, come back to a miner and you're getting this G sus4, a minor. Now keep going back-and-forth. Pieces for hey, minor, Jesus, four and so forth. So once you got that transition, now let's go on to the next score. So after the G, sus4, the G, C, and D on the word me, we have the chord G, again, the normal G-Major chord. Now, what do we do different. The only difference between the Jesus for the normal G chord, as you remember, is the auto notes are the same. But instead of playing the C with your fourth finger, we're going to play the note B with your middle finger instead. Now you have the normal G chord. So Jesus, for with our fourth finger on the sea, and back to the normal G chord with the middle finger on the beat. Now, let's play along with me together again. Jesus, for, with your fourth finger on the sea. Back to the normal G chord with your middle finger on the beat. Now, back to Jesus four and back to G. So practice along with me, Jesus four, and back to G. Again, Jesus four and back to G and so forth. So you can keep practicing this until you really feel comfortable With switching the nodes between the Jesus for the normal G chord. Now once you got that really comfortably in your hands, you can go back and play from the beginning of the second line. So you start by practicing in little chunks. So first, we practice the little chunk between a minor and the Jesus four chord and we went back and forth like that. Then after that, we practiced the little chunk or the transition between the Jesus for the normal GI. Once you get these little parts really comfortably in your hands, then you can play the entire line altogether. So let's start from that saved a wretch, so back to the E minor. So let's have your hand prepared on the E minor. So preparation is always key. So place your hand on the cord where you will be playing. And then let's start on the E minor. So ready? That saved a wretch again on a minor. Now transition and move to the left and change your fingers to the thumb. Forefinger, pinky on Jesus, for like me. Back to the middle finger on the G major chord. Alright, let's do that again. The second line, see a minor. Wretch. Again, a minor. Now, move your hand to the left one note, Jesus, for prepare your hand like me. Now back to the normal G chord again. Great, Let's do that again. That saved a wretch like this is for me. And normal G chord. Great. One more time. A little facet that saved a wretch, like me Jesus, for jeep a bit faster. That saved up Wretch like Jesus four. And G. Great job. Now let's play the verse from Amazing Grace with both the SAS two chord and the sus4 chords. First, slowly and width counting. Ready? 12333333. Great job. Before we move on to play in a faster tempo, please repeat practicing at the slower tempo until you feel comfortable playing the chords. Now, let's play together a bit faster. Ready? 1233, 3333, 3333, 3333. Great job. Now, let's play along together also with my senior. Ready. 12. Hi. Great job playing, Amazing Grace and substitute. And so spore courts incorporated in it with your right hand. Now, let's move on to the next lesson, where we will be playing Amazing Grace with a sustained chords, with both hands together, ready? 11. Playing Amazing Grace with Sustain chords AND with Both Hands Together: Great job learning to play with Sus2 and Sus4 Chords. Now, the next lesson we'll be learning to play Amazing Grace with the Sustain chords and with both hands together. Now, do you remember in the previous lesson we learned to play the Left Hand baseline with all five things of your lifetime. Now, let's first review that before moving on to playing with the both hands. Let's begin. Now, remember to keep the palm of your hand lightly rounded and your arm should feel relaxed like they're just hanging from your shoulder joint. Let's first place the pinky of your left hand on the note C, which is the bottom note of the first chord. And from there, we'll continue by playing the bottom notes of each chord in the verse, which will be C, C, C, and so on. You ready? Let's play together. 1, 2, 3, 1 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3, 1, 2 3, 3, 3 3. Great job. Feel free to repeat the left-hand part a few times until you've really got it in your system. Are you ready to add the right-hand chords now? Let's go through a chords together first before playing through the salt. Now, in the right hand of Amazing Grace, we start with the see Sus2 Chords on Amazing. And then we go back to the normal seaboard. Remember on Grace. And always remember from Grace, how sweet we have this big jump to the F Sus2. So major on Grace and F Sus2 on the word sweet. So always prepare your hand before playing the F Sustain forward and then back to the C major chord on sound. Now, there is one jump that we haven't practiced yet and the previous lesson, which is from the sun forward to that he minor chord. So in this case, you can also apply the practice technique from their previous lessons of just starting out with your thumb. Then you go back and forth between the C and a with your thumb. And then adding the pinky also. So then on the C chord we have the thumb on the sea, G, and then on the a minor chord, thumb on the pinky, on the E. So then you go back and forth it just these two nodes. Just like that. Then eventually you add the middle finger. See major, minor. And then you can go back and forth and practice this jump. Now, once you've got that jumped down, then we are on the second line on that. See, with a minor in red, again, a minor. So we practice this in the previous lesson. And or me, Sus4. And then going back to G major. So now you've got all the chords of Amazing Grace in the first two lines. Now, are you ready to play with both hands together? Let's play the first two lines of Amazing Grace with both hands together in the right hand, also with the Sustain chords and with the Left Hand playing with all five fingers. Alright, so on, Amazing, We have the pinky on your left hand, on the sea. And then the right hand we have the sauce to the see Sus2 Chords. Amazing. Then, then on Grace, we have again the scene in your left hand. And then with Right Hand, we go back to playing the normal C-Corps, right? So Left Hand just as CC. So nothing very exciting there. And on Amazing Grace, we just have this transition from playing the D with your index finger to playing the note E with your middle finger. So Amazing Grace. So let's practice that a few times. Amazing Grace. Got it one more time. Seeing Grace The focus here is mostly on the right hand. Left hand is just doing the same thing. Amazing Grace. One more time with it. Faster, Amazing Grace. Faster, Amazing Grace. Right? It. Alright, now let's move on to the, how sweet. So remember in this section, we have this jump in the right hand from C Major F Sus2 Chords. And always remember to prepare right? Because you're changing the fingers that you're playing with from 135, thumb, middle, pinky, two, thumb, index. Now in the Left Hand, you simply have to the pinky to the. So we have this movement practice staffers really get that in your system. Then with your right hand. First review this job, C major. Now, once he got that down, we're gonna put it together. So first on Grace, we have the C, C major chord in the right hand, pinky on the sea with the Left. Now slowly, prepare the next position. So index finger on the F, Sus2 in the right hand. And I'll go back-and-forth. C major to C major, major. Play along with me. See major. Now prepare the next one. And then play. Now prepare, going back to the sea. Then again. Now play a bit faster. Now, major, C major. A bit faster. Ssd. See, Got it. So now we're back to sound, which actually we already practiced because sound is again, see major. Alright, so let's try to play the entire firstline of Amazing Grace with both hands together. Sustain Chords included in the right hand. When all five fingers and the Left Hand. Ready? Amazing Grace. Always prepare. Which notes you're going to play first. See, with your pinky left-hand. And the ceases to with your right hand. Got it. Alright, ready? Amazing Grace. Back to the normal C-C chord with your middle finger. Now, big job. So that F Sus2 Chords, how sweet? And then big jump back again to the seat. The sound. Got it. It's a bit tricky. Yes. Alright, Amazing Grace again. Amazing Grace. Sustain record. In the right hand. Now, switch to the middle finger on Grace, Grace. Now, big jump. Prepare to F Sus2 cord. How sweet? The sound back to C. Now bit faster. Grace, normal seaboard. Wheat, F Sus2, John the Baptist. Bit faster. Now, Grace, how sweet the sound. Getting it. Again. Main thing. Grace. How sweet the sound. One last time. Saying Grace, how sweet the sound. Great job. Alright, you've mastered the first line of Amazing Grace, both hands. Alright, so let's move on to the next slides. So actually, the second line has almost the same chords as the last line of the verse. The third line has exactly the same course, the first line as well. So we will skip lines 2.3 and go directly the practicing the last line of the First. Let's begin. Alright, so that would be from, was blind, but now I see, So was blind. We have the E minor chord again. And then we immediately go to the G Sus4 cord on, but now and then on risc, we go back to the seasons take forward and then back to see. So it's slightly different. We haven't had this combination yet. So let's quickly practice that was blind. But now we have the J Sus4, which is the same That's also seen in the second line. He minor to the G Sus4. And then from here, actually we haven't had this combination yet from key Sus4 to see Sustain. So that's a little bit tricky. So Jesus for is with the thumb for thinner on the sea, pinky on the D. So we will be using different fingers going hungry and Sus4 to see Sus2 as well, you see we are using 145 on G Sus4, and then we go to one to five on CSS2. So that's a bit tricky. So what do you can do is you can practice going slowly for me Sus4 to see Sus2 again. And then here you can also apply a jumping practice technique, right? So first you just use your thumb and then go back and forth from G to C. G to C. Now once you've got that down, then you add your pinky. So we have a G and a D on the Jesus for then the seat and the gene on the C-Corps. So you go back and forth, writes same technique as we always use them. Then on the G Sus4, we add the fourth finger on the C, So B, C, D. And then we go back and forth going from GCD to see Dee, Dee, different fingers. Fourth finger here. Second finger here, for finger here. Second finger here. Now, let's start little bit slower to use those for C to G Sus4. Play along with me too. Okay, bit faster. Jesus for ceases to Jesus for ceases to be faster Jesus for so far. Now, I see, But now I see. Now a little trick is that you can remember that there's more concentration of fingers on the outer parts here, Right? Yes. To our next each other. And then on the next part, there's more concentration of fingers on this side. In this combination, the outer parts are always concentrated with fingers next to each other. The outer parts here, next to each other, out partying, right next to each other. Parts here. So once you got that right, then all we have to do is go to the last chord, which is the normal thing. That is pretty simple. We practice that before ceases to with the index finger on the D and the normal sequence with the middle finger on the E. So now let's play the entire last line Together. Was blind minor. But now Jesus, for I see ceases to. And then back to the normal see corn. Let's do it again. Was blind, a minor. But now OneNote, the Left with a fourth finger on the seed. Jesus for I see ceases to normal. One more time, was blind. But now I see the normal again was blind. But now I see. Great job. So now you can play the last line of Amazing Grace with both the Sus4 and the sauce to court. Now, let's play through the whole verse together from the beginning with both hands together. First, let's play slowly, then at a faster tempo. Now, let's give it a shot, Ready? 123, 123-133-3333. Great job. Now let's try to play a bit faster. Ready? 12312. Great job. Feel free to rewind and to repeat the lesson until you feel completely comfortable playing with both hands together. Now, congratulations because you can now play Amazing Grace, the verse of Amazing Grace, with both hands together and with Sustain Chords. And guess what?
