What’s up my piano friends!! Today’s video we’re going go over 3 easy piano tricks for beginners that sound impressive you can use instantly. And amaze your friends and family of course ;)
I call them Fake Piano Skills, not because they’re actually “Fake”, but because I’m just giving you easy stuff to play without really understanding the meat-and-potatoes behind the skills.
And my hope is you have so much fun learning these that you get excited and motivated to learn piano for real (if you aren’t already!)
Here’s what we’ll cover:
00:00 Intro
00:20 The “Tear Jerker” Pattern
02:02 The “Heart Melter” Pattern
06:13 The “Song Generator” (the MOST impressive!!)
Make sure you stick around to the end - the third skill is the most impressive BY FAR, and also actually might be a bit easier to learn than the first two.
Oh, and btw if you’re a complete beginner, no worries, this tutorial is specifically designed for beginners, and we start slow and take absolute baby steps tot make sure you’ll get it frustration-free.
Happy practicing!
-Zach

AWESOME!!!!!!

I can’t do the It

Thank u:)
If you want to learn how to play piano just stay on the piano for all course and practice. You will be amazed at what you will accomplish! Here's the link to the video: kzhead.info/sun/gtKvmNVxiqGwaX0/bejne.html To anyone who wants to learn to play piano as well: - Focus fully on your practice sessions, avoiding distractions. Be present and attentive to the sound, feeling, and technique of your playing. Mindful practice leads to more effective learning and progress. - Before diving into your practice session, warm up your fingers and hands with simple exercises like scales, arpeggios, and finger stretches. This helps prevent injury and improves dexterity. - Use a recording device or a smartphone to record yourself playing. Listening back to your recordings can provide valuable feedback on areas for improvement, such as timing, dynamics, and expression. See you guys when we're playing piano on the moon.
The last tip “look emotional and serious” got me laughing so hard 😂
Ahahahahaha
But it's sooo true...
You’re the fairest
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚
Hahahah
This is great to learn as a beginner because it lets you know what it actually feels like to be good at piano and makes you want to go further in piano to actually be good
i can respect this comment❤️
So true
@@stipane Me too! I won't though, but I could! 😂
I TRICKED MY FRIENDS!
im trying too
Looking "emotional and serious" is a bit hard when I'm laughing my head off. Thank you Zac you really make things fun and possible.
Ahaha you're welcome Cherryl!
Hello, how are you doing! Is my pleasure meeting a true believer friend like you here, l do appreciated your comments, you are wonderfully made by God, can you send me a friend request so we can be friends and share ideas together, if you don't mind.
He did say sensitive not serious. But yes that was funny. 😆
Bro I wanna learn sonata facile can u upload a video?
Mr. Zach, , Raj from India. Today, I am in a better position with keyboard basics, unlike 2 years ago, understand easily what u say in ur tutorials. Thank you again, whatever you stressed here is just good enough for a beginner and is true. With all my appreciations, I say, this is called Value Addition to piano playing from an expert, all experts cannot think like u, to prepare simple meal from Complex music theory and serve on table by teachings, encouraging, persistent on practice. Hats off to you Mr. Zach. I practice all u taught at this age of 62y. I do also think in similar way like u think, to share my learnings in my engineering field over years for young engineer's.
Hey Raj, good to hear from you. Love the attitude, 62 years old and still excited to learn!! Thanks so much for the kind words, and keep up the good work!
Dude, sweet vid. Im 40, and just started learning this instrument and i wanted to learn a song right away so ive only been practicing Una Mattina over and over and over. After my first 20 hours in im seeing great progress but today i branched out looking for some chords, and finger excercises just to round out my lessons. Just found this and found myself laughing out loud as i watched you play because its so easy and sounds great. Thanks dude. Im here to learn. Keep the good content coming
that’s nice I learned Una Mattina last year for my grade 5 exam!
It's the same here 😅
This guy is brilliant in giving you confidence his enthusiasm make you feel you can do what he is learning you to do. I have spellbound everyone one I play to, now I just want to take it further, thanks mate for putting me on the right path.
Zac talks fast, but I like him as a piano teacher. He always has excellent ideas about the songs to try and learn as a beginner and has suggestions as well for tricks to try to sound like a professional player right at the beginning. He makes piano easy to learn. He is great.
The second skill that was mentioned is actually a chord pattern but consists of only two notes, I suggest you use this technique with songs that use this chord pattern such as Perfect but Ed Sheeran, thanks for sharing this with us Zach!
the second strategy is a classic four note pattern, its used in heart and soul the famous duet piece. using this method you can also change the f you go to 3rd to a d and it will sound pretty cool. the d and f are two notes apart making them a good sounding pair allowing for the f be substituted by the D and still sound cool.
woah the tear jerker actually works im in tears 💀 the heart melter gave me a cardiac arrest it really did melt my heart
bro you're the best...started playing in high school...stayed same level for 40 years..now re invigorated @56 by your piano teachings..thank you~
Besides being a super tutorial, this video is hilarious. As a not-pianoplayer, these tutorials build my skill on the instrument and motivate me to get better. Thanks Zach!
“Beethoven came back from the grave and got reincarnated as you” this guy is so funny 😂
😂😂😂😂
I’m using the first 2 to practice using my right hand and left hand together and it’s helping a lot
These are great tips. I learned piano through sight reading with no ear training and very little chord progression theory and practice. Nevertheless, I was able through trial and error to develop the techniques necessary to improvise on simple chord progressions. I recognize some of these tips from learning guitar recently. I noticed that the melodic runs being used generally corresponded to the pentatonic scale, which makes sense because that scale is the most compatible with any scalar form (mode) in the originating key. A pro-tip might be to start with the middle C or A note.
I’ve been playing piano since I was 4 and this was still helpful for me!
OMG Zach, you’re a GENIUS!!!! These Piano🎹 Tricks are simply Awesome!!! *Was just sharing your material at our party today!!!✅. Great stuff!!!🥰
This is so satisfying, omg. So you can be practicing your beginner chords or sheet music or whatever you’re into and then do this every time you need a break and a moral boost to make yourself feel like you can actually play something awesome, love it!! 😄
I'm in awe....I took piano lessons as a kid... learned to read music, and teach myself to play bass...learned music theory in college, so I REALLY appreciated this...that chord progression in the left hand was something I predicted he would do ... GREAT VIDEO!!!!
Looks like we have a fortune teller on our hands
@@haydenshirley8152 more like a CPP chord progression predictor...and I'm retiring with a 1/1 record...
@@ironwood9 I wouldn’t blame you! Just don’t lose the skill and remember to exercise it once in a while
Wooow that is awesome I tried bobbing my head I couldn't keep up with the music but this is awesome I wowed my family with this piece. This is one place I learn everything about piano. Keep it up Bro
I've been playing every day for weeks with piano apps. Ended up settling on simply piano and have stuck with it but man this was the most fun I've had since! I started playing to have some sort of creative outlet and actually being able to improvise something that sounds good is awesome. Also great practice for hand independence!
oh god not simply piano
@@soofeesh Whats wrong with Simply Piano? What's your recommendation?
Nothing wrong with Simply piano but it's advertisements became a meme in the piano community due to how unrealistic it is. Keep using it if it works for you and good luck
I guess it helped me to read music sheet a little. But then the free trial ends 😤
Great content, keyboard-brother-warrior! Your enthusiasm is contagious, and I am sure these great insights into music-theory will pique the curiosity and intrigue of future virtuosos that may not have given music any thought before they saw how easy and beautiful this form of expression can be! Thank you!
E
watching many of your vids this one helped most-I am a pro musician songwriter singer producer but my left hand is now disabled its hard . I can only play 1 note left, sometimes 2 max. thank you
I just discovered you, you are amazing, hahahahaaa, I've been laughing so hard throughout the whole video!! Such a clever way to teach, simple things that we all should have learnt when being taught the piano instead of getting disappointed and frustrated! Thank you very much for the fun and at the same time helpful content, keep up the good work!!!
Thank you so much Zach! I play piano, so I kinda know how to play properly but this is still a very cool thing to know about! Also, I really love the way you teach, it really makes things nice and easy!
You're welcome!! So glad you're enjoying the lessons :)
True, "Heart Melter" sounds better than the actual "Sonata" I have to play!
I can read music, played tenor sax for many years, play a bit of piano by ear, and took two semesters of music theory in college. In those two semesters no one mentioned the good ol' I - v i- IV - V progression. Here in less than 6 minutes you have folks sounding good with that progression. When moving to the A minor chord I usually furrow my brow a little more and throw in a pronounced forward head bob.
Thank you soo much, It helped me out a lot when I had to play in front of a lot of people when I knew nothing about piano. Thank you I an very grateful
You had me laughing the whole time, simply because you made me feel like Im already good at playing piano and I haven't even started my first lesson 😂!!! That was amazing dude!
So suprised by how easy this was!! I wanna invite my friends and boyfriend over to show them my mad piano skills 😄
Fantastic! I can’t wait to share with my sons. They will love these tricks. Thank you
Hi there Zac, Thanks for your videos 😃! I'm learning piano (well, keyboard 😁) from scratch, and you're really a good teacher to follow! I've seen many videos of pro piano-players, I would like to know why do they play many notes together with the right hand? Thanks a lot! Diego.
Awesome!!! Excellent and impressive for me, absolute beginner!!!! Thanks, Zach, for making things nice and easy!
Thanks Neus! Awesome to hear it was helpful
Thanks a lot Zach you really helped me in moving a step ahead in piano playing
OK. So I just started piano today. And with mixing up Tear Jerker and Heart Melter I was able to free style some pretty cool stuff. I have no idea WHAT the notes are, but it sounded pretty awesome. And I could get the "feel" of using both hands and got an idea of rhythm (which didn't quite work for me at the very beginning). 4 hours later of having a great time on the piano (hands are VERY tired) and feel satisfied. THANK YOU!
Great lesson, Nice to add to the fundamentals to make practice more enjoyable. Thank you
Glad you liked it Scott!!
Always electrifying & power-packed yet simple tutorials presentation.
I’ve played piano for a while and tbh was a little skeptical from the title but these are actually really cool
Thanks for the piano tips love watching your step by step piano tutorials😊
I love your piano fake videos. The new beard is nice, too. I'm still practicing the way I learned from you. I'm making my choral group do the finger gauntlet to help learn the intervals. We sing the numbers.
Awesome Vicki! And thanks haha haven't shaved in a while
I have no hands .(
I feel bad for you
I feel bad for you
I feel bad for you
Ok keep playing
God loves u
This really helped!!!!! If you know the original notes of a piano, you can do these skills easy and it sounds like your a PRO!!
As a piano beginner, Thank you so much! That was helpful!
Excellent Zach! Thanks very much for all the interesting stuff you provide! I will enjoy trying this lesson out & it will no doubt keep my lack lustre practice ticking over more often. At the moment I just learn a few easy songs I like, or play around with some chords when I am motivated enough & have time. My main goal is to just keep enjoying it as much as possible without it ever seeming to much like work. Possibly be about 90 by the time I am any good 😂 Don't even know if the emotional face will help a t m 🤣 Cheers!
That's a great goal to have!! Music should be enjoyed, keep up the good work (and of course the emotional face ahaha)
I tried this immediately to learn piano cuz i really like piano and i want to learn it cuz i never had a piano, then my dad bought me one then i tried this, then it sounded SOOOOOO GOOD! Im still learning piano rn and watching ur vids Zach! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR UR EASY TUTORIALS, It really is for beginners like me.
Thank you so much for these invaluable tips... very handy at 83, when there's not much time to go and you want to complete everything before.....
Wow sir! I was waiting for your tutorial to be uploaded. Thank you from Bhutan 🇧🇹 -piano super human ...student
You're welcome!!
Beautiful thank you teacher ❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
You're welcome :)
Thanks Zach! I really enjoy things like this. I'm 71 and beginner at piano. Because of my age memory issues I've found it near impossible to try memorizing whole songs. But I can use chord progressions like this to improvise some good sounding music and it makes my time spent at the keyboard fun and motivating to keep practicing. Enjoy the upcoming holidays. Sal
Awesome Sal!! Love the attitude, 71 and still gettin after it. Keep up the good work
i am dutch 90 years old keyboardplayer execixe piano slowly not too much FRANS
This is amazing. It makes like you been playing for years. I tried & love it. Thanks for sharing.
Zach, Could you please add a description of how you are to count each measure of your improvisation? Is it in 4/4 time? Is you left hand in The Heart Melter pattern playing 8th notes? For me, seeing a sample lead sheet for each pattern with a few improv examples would be really helpful. Thank you very much!
To determine the time signature of the song it is necessary to know the tempo and listen to where the main beats are and what is accented. Every time the principal beat is repeated determines the length of the measure. The number of beats in a measure determines the top number in the time signature. In this case it is 4; it takes 4 quarter notes or 8 half notes to complete a measure, depending on how one hears the principal accent. The bottom number designates the note interval that corresponds to one beat in this case the quarter note can be used as the fraction. It could easily be written as 2/4 time as well depending on where one determines is the most appropriate place in the measures to designate the principal beat. Additionally the tempo of the song will determine which note interval is the most useful for the bottom number, for example in many waltzes that could be written in 3/4 time they use 6/8 time where, although there are 6 principal beats the tempo of the song usually determines that an eighth note is more appropriate as the designated fraction of the total sum of beats in the measure.
Your techniques are amazing, "Zach...!" They are simple and easy to apply...! And, I have learned a lot in a short-span of time. Keep it going...!
fantastic and fun tips. I'm maybe a hair above absolute beginner level and find this helpful to improv and just having fun. thank you!
This is fun. And also great to practice in all the scales, not just C
a minor🤔
i learn a lot today now im play piano like a pro, thanks for this lesson
Just found your channel in the recommendations and I can't wait to try them later! Edit: I'm a new sub btw!
Awesome Bonnie. Glad you like the lessons! 🎹
Hi Zac, I like the way you demonstrate the skills. You caught my attention and I laughed myself for such a pro sound skill and yet too easy to learn! I found you to be one of the best among youtuber pino tutor! Waiting eagerly for your next Fake skills😄
Awesome KT So glad you enjoyed it!
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🤩🥳
I Thought learning piano would take years search for tutorial for the first time and saw ur video 🥰🤸🏃🕺thanks u so much for the video😘
The heart melter sounds so good ,thanks Zach!
Could you teach us how to get away with fake singing too like most of the artists are doing out there right now? 🤣
Lol
i love love this , thank you so much i feel like a pro already ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the video! 🎹
Cool vimby
This was the video I needed man. Long time stubborn guitar player. So I just started playing the 🎹. And I just use the 3-3-1 method from any note and of course your suspended keys. But this open up a whole new playing field. Thanks! New subscriber, but looking forward to watching more of these great Videos. thanks again!
What a splendid idea. 😢😢it sounds better now with tears in my eyes.😢😢😢
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 MY MAN HIT THE STEVIE WONDER AND RAY CARLES!!!!!!!!!! LOL
Ahahahahahahahaha
This is a lot of cool music theory. For #1 and #2 you're improvising over a sort of power chord (only 1st and 5th note) in the same key. In #3 you're using the relative minor key of C (A minor) which turns the C major scale into A minor and allows you to do exactly the same simple improvising using the same notes but get a minor tonality. Very nice.
Is worth it.. I got learn this 👍👍 If you a left hand or good hearing, sometimes I play this 3 hand learn by other music ver clear
I like the 3rd. Effortless but touches the heart.😄😄
Your course is on my bucket list.
Great to hear :)
Bloody hell…this is brilliant. I’m going to try it right now! Thank you.
me: spending more time to learn this than it takes to actually learn piano professionally. This was a great video. Thanks for all the good info!
Awesome Eric. Glad you found the video helpful! 🎹
Hi this tutorial is soo helpful tysm for uploading this master piece 💕♪

Been playing by ear for 28 years. Just decided to learn to read music and it's coming along great. Love the tip but so you know on lesson 2 at about 3:03 you say 3 notes C B A but you push C B G. Just didn't know if you realized that. Didn't read the other comments. Other thank that thanks and I love the tips.
You're a freaking genius! I love this.
