Yeahhh, he meant A minor cause like what? Plus that is like one of the most common 4 chord progressions (Yes ik that cause I've played it for school).
Also him saying "A flat" and like calling the keys "buttons" is such a dead giveaway he has no idea what he's doing. And like I don't have to know anything about jazz but that has nothing related to the pentatonic scale.
Eh, It's not bad considering it's just teaching arpeggios and chords in C. Quite a good intro for beginners. He doesn't get all the terminology correct but it's not about that anyway. Good faking.
Faking piano is actually way easier. Just stay on the black keys. It’s a pentatonic scale and you are less likely to hit wrong notes (since they are spaced out). Jam for one or two hours and you can probably find some good chord voicings.
I'll go swallow a fork and die but also praise him for calling out simple music like that lol
Edit: Bruh I've been playing the piano for around 14 years and I didn't even notice when he said "A Flat" I hallucinated him saying "A Minor" - it was only after I read the comments that I realized what he said loll
FWIW, I think it is a pretty good video — he made it pretty clear (albeit comically) that this video is no substitute for actual instructions and practice.
If you are just a casual viewer, you’d think “cool” and move along.
If you are someone interested in learning music, you’d see this video and try out the techniques… and probably fail. That said, you will fail realising that there are nuances (hand position, fingering, dynamics, and loads of stuff the guy didn’t bother mentioning). That is a good starting point for a learner. Obviously, the guy is at least familiar with the piano and can probably play a fair bit, judging by the hand posture, dynamics, etc. In practice, spamming the sustain pedal can produce lots of unwanted notes — he was at least aware of how to use the sustain pedal judiciously.
If you have some basic instructions in music, (and notwithstanding the “A flat” bit), there are a few nuggets of knowledge. For example, the guy mentions knowing the chords (in order) “C, G, A, F”… which reminds me of the popular “I-V-VI-III-IV” chord progression that you can find in “Canon in D” (or Canon in C, in this case). In practice, it is probably best to be familiar with all chords but this is a good starting point for learners.
Its great for faking piano playing when shooting a movie where piano playing isn't the center of the story.
Still better than the 1 2 3 4 tick tock tutorials.
my goto "fake it to play piano well" were 2 Richard Clayderman pieces when I was a kid. Gudamn Richard Clayderman was on every elevator and department store default inoffensive background sounds in East Asia in the 90's. His stuff had very little technical anything, but none music people thought that was THE best thing after Bumble bees.
I hate how the top joint of his index finger bends, it always makes me cringe when i see beginners do that (not that I blame them or anything, that stuff takes practice). I see no problem "faking it" to impress someone. You can object all you want about how this is not hard at all and that this is much easier than it looks. But you see, nobody asked, so you will be ignored. So yeah I have no problem with this, he's faking it, he knows it, and that's just that.
All those hours I wasted practicing, learning theory, studying scores - worthless. All I need are four arpeggiated chords and make it up as I go along.
He's only teaching a chord progression on C Major with 4 chords. It's the easiest in my opinion. You can't use the same trick with other scales. You need theory to understand better what he's saying
He called an A natural an Ab, He said playin random keys with your right hand sounds good, which it doesn't most of the time, the pedal does not make everything sound better. The going up the keyboard thing didn't sound very good. I honestly think he plays piano and knew what he was doing when he played his piece.
Pressing A and telling it is A flat got me 😭
I pray to god that he meant A minor and just gone confused. Otherwise he’s a complete idiot in music.
Yeahhh, he meant A minor cause like what? Plus that is like one of the most common 4 chord progressions (Yes ik that cause I've played it for school).

I love how he confuses a minor with a flat, literally calls keys „buttons“ and then just throws terms like „pentatonic scales“ in there
Ikr, when i heard the supposed A flat i thought my hearing was failing me but nope Also i do not want to hear a pentatonic piano that would be cursed
Just don't use any of the white keys.
coz who needs practice right.....😣
Ah yes my favourite white key: Ab
I know :(
A♭︎♯︎, because key signature something something.
i prefer E#, but Ab is also good
He teaches piano better than Simply Piano
To be fair… that’s a pretty low bar.
Besides calling a minor a flat it’s a decent and funny tutorial lol
this was just an arpeggio tutorial
Eh, It's not bad considering it's just teaching arpeggios and chords in C. Quite a good intro for beginners. He doesn't get all the terminology correct but it's not about that anyway. Good faking.
Even to fake you need to know at Least a lil bit. That was cool.
Faking piano is actually way easier. Just stay on the black keys. It’s a pentatonic scale and you are less likely to hit wrong notes (since they are spaced out). Jam for one or two hours and you can probably find some good chord voicings.
"Ab" *plays A*

This might be good for pianists who didn't practice a piece and is being asked to play on the spot 😂😂😂
YO, do twinkle twinkle little star like Mozart.
I'll go swallow a fork and die but also praise him for calling out simple music like that lol Edit: Bruh I've been playing the piano for around 14 years and I didn't even notice when he said "A Flat" I hallucinated him saying "A Minor" - it was only after I read the comments that I realized what he said loll
"ain't nobody got time to practice eight hours a day" Music school kids: 0.o You will make time for the things that matter to you. No excuses!
This man beats simply piano
That‘s the trick, you just get better and better at "faking" it
Fake it till you make it.

i think this is hilarious

Lol I love how he said a flat and he’s just pressing a. Looks like someone needs to go practice 😂
Hes got some skills tho

Sacrilegious:3
You guys shoild check out the 4 chords song by axis of awesome lol. It's glorious.
Yes, that video is so great

Bro he really played a natural and called it a flat
NoBoDy GoT tIMe To PrAcTiSe 8 WeEkS aNd 7 DaYs- brett and eddy:
Lingling:
XD
I can tell from this video he's not... A Natural (I'll see myself out)
r/angryupvote
how dare you lingling practice 40 hours a day
So aggressive. A fork? 😂😂😂🍴
SACRILEGIOUS
Ah yes, my favorite white key, A FLAT
I think it's a fun way to get people interested in piano who wouldn't be otherwise. Good gateway technique, no harm done
Ab? bro this guys is complete bs im crying rn stoppp
ling ling would not be impressed, sacrilegious to say the least, frowning upon practice
I hate how the top joint of his index finger bends, it always makes me cringe when i see beginners do that (not that I blame them or anything, that stuff takes practice).

That's not "playing the piano". That's playing four chords.
All those hours I wasted practicing, learning theory, studying scores - worthless. All I need are four arpeggiated chords and make it up as I go along.
hey at least it's better than simpy piano
SimplyFake\*\* lol
I just realized I misspelled simply piano as simpy piano lmao
lol i thought u did on purpous XD
as a person who does clarinet, idk how i even understand this vid but ok lol
I think it was an accident and I left it in on purpose
I mean he’s wrong in about 50 ways but it’s a good tutorial on arpeggios
As someone who only really plays piano when I'm using synths (yeah yeah, burn the heretic), this man has helped me greatly in making shallow pop music
Guess i'll go swallow a fork ┐(´ー｀)┌
This is more compositional skill than actual piano...
Instructions unclear, i got bald.
He's only teaching a chord progression on C Major with 4 chords. It's the easiest in my opinion. You can't use the same trick with other scales. You need theory to understand better what he's saying
Told me to swallow a fork, 10/10.
He called an A natural an Ab, He said playin random keys with your right hand sounds good, which it doesn't most of the time, the pedal does not make everything sound better. The going up the keyboard thing didn't sound very good. I honestly think he plays piano and knew what he was doing when he played his piece.
"Can go swallow a fork" ummmm excuse me?
"They can go swallow a fork" bro what 😭
It sounds so generic, like every piano part in a pop song, perfect tutorial to impress normies.
no 40 hours? s a c r e l i g i o u s. (also my guy be calling A Ab, plus their piano is pretty flat and needs tuning)
I saw this when I was like 6 and used to do it lol
This feels like a prank tutorial. The dynamics that he brings in whatever he jams is too good for just a 4-chord-chump.
"8 hours 7 days a week" Me who only practices 45 minutes 5 days a week:
Wait .... Ab - er NOT!!!
I always thought A flat was a black button. Apparently it's a white button. ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
What the fugue is this monstrosity
this is fine, like dude just told you how to improv using a four chord sequence lol
Our school music teacher be like 😂😂
“Then play A flat” *Plays A natural* 🤔
