How to Play Piano in Less Than 1 Hour!
If you\'re looking for a way to quickly play the piano you\'re going to love this. Listen... most of you already know that the quickest way to play the piano is by learning chords.
But what most of you don\'t know is what kind of chord to start out with. There are triads, seventh chords, diminished chords and thousands more. There are closed position chords and then there is something called the open position chord, and with it, you\'ll be able to create your own music in less than an hour!
Look.. the reason why so many people have problems with the piano is they give up out of sheer boredom! They sense that it will take months if not years to create something that sounds like music on it. So they give up.
By starting out with open position chords, you\'ll immediately sound like a pro! Why? It all has to do with the way the chord is structured. First, it\'s a modern sounding seventh chord. All this means is the seventh note of the scale is used to along with regular triad notes to give it a more contemporary sound. Jazz musicians use it all the time.
Second, it covers more than 2 octaves of the keyboard giving you a very nice \"open\" sound. If you love contemporary stylings, you\'ll be playing them in no time with it.
And last but not least, you use both hands right away to create with! In fact, the chord is so wide open that you can literally create music without moving your hands around at all.
If you love the idea of playing piano but don\'t want to start with boring triads or note reading, you\'re going to love learning to play the open position chord!
