Hello, I am going to show you how to play the piano even if you never played the piano ever before in your life. I used a kind of really big scale in music and it is basically the Pentatonic Scale. Basically, if we used the black notes on the piano, it is going to make up a scale that is based of, this is called Penta. Penta is a group for five which is a five note scale so
(Piano Demo)
1-2-3-4-5 and repeats. And I can start it with basis
(Piano Demo)
There is that one, if I start on this one here
(Piano Demo)
And
(Piano Demo)
So, basically I think one of the root notes of this in. What if for the folks they do not read music? Basically we got pianos made up of two blank notes and three black notes and the way I used to teach folk’s who do not play piano or do not read music is that I am playing the first of two
(Piano Demo)
Or the second of two
(Piano Demo)
The first of three
(Piano Demo)
The second of three
(Piano Demo)
The third of three
(Piano Demo)
And those would be your work notes.
In my opinion, what sounds using better is the first of two
(Piano Demo)
And the second of three
(Piano Demo)
Those are really good home pictures and for this case others use the
(Piano Demo)
First of three as our home pitch and basically in music, what we are going to do is we start of for the home pitch
(Piano Demo)
Which is this case is F sharp for the folk’s that do not read music out there. We start for the home pitch and then we go away from the home pitch
(Piano Demo)
And then eventually come back from home. Now, we can move by step
(Piano Demo)
We can by lip
(Piano Demo)
Or we can stay on the same pitch
(Piano Demo)
And those of really the three ways melody’s mode is that I have move
(Piano Demo)
One scale wise motion by steps, step, step, step
(Piano Demo)
I will go by the lip and usually I result with a down or up, a lip and then I could stay on the same pitch
(Piano Demo)
And those are really the three ways that you should know and its move on the piano with all even you are always working on the gym.
So, what I used to tell a folk on this then we will take my home pitch which is a one of three
(Piano Demo)
And we will take this hinny on my left hand and is kind of basically my Bass
(Piano Demo)
If you notice the lower ones
(Piano Demo)
It rest in like for long period of time. So ahead that would be my home pitch
(Piano Demo)
And then whatever the home pitch is I am going to start with that and I move away from it
(Piano Demo)
Then when the Bass note dies, I can either hit the Bass on again, that same one
(Piano Demo)
Or I can pick a different one
(Piano Demo)
And when I want to end I go back to home together
(Piano Demo)
And you really can get some really cool sounds even if you have not played piano before and basically what I do is I just used tow fingers. I used this for one for the Bass and one for the melody and let us say what happens, the same thing one of three.
(Piano Demo)
And if I want I can hold on the pedal and really double the pedal of this and to sustain pedal of this. It really blurs everything together so with that you really get some really cool sounds
(Piano Demo)
So, I am making the next and gather it. I used to clear the pedal when I have to choose the Bass note. And this will be the coordination and after while that your feet fix up with your hands and you can kind of get that. So, let us play around the penta type of scale and see what you can come up with and you really can come over with a really compositions and that the beautiful thing about the penta type of scale really there is not any wrong notes on it. It really all sounds pretty good together.
Alright, well enjoy playing the Pentatonic Scale. Have a great day.
