hello musicians this is Corey Taylor from SkilledMusician.com where we are
helping musicians improve thank you all so much for checking out
this video today now today's video we're gonna focus on the stuff that gets
overlooked but it's tremendously important to making you sound great I've
called them piano hacks but what they are small little things that the pros
do not the big run or the big cord but the stuff they do in between before that
that that will make your playing sound amazing
so I had so many of these little hacks that I wanted to share with you all that
I had to split this video up into two parts so today we're gonna do part one
and then next week we'll release part two so definitely stay tuned and watch
both of those also check out our new Instagram page and check out our
Facebook page as well I have links to those in the description box so
definitely check those out we'll be releasing some new fun stuff I'm
hatching competition in some contests and we'll be starting some live videos
on Facebook and Instagram so definitely subscribe to those so you can be
notified when we go live so also remember we have a link to the sheet
music in the description box below so for each concept where we're talking
about we create the sheet music for it and you can grab that in the description
box below also we have a free downloadable lead sheet for our example
song that we're going to be using we're gonna use one example song for all of
these piano hacks and so that's free just just go in description box click
the link and download it alright lastly I wanted to tell you a YouTube family
thank you all some of y'all really reached out to me I was wondering why I
wasn't that bloating but I was out of commission for a little bit but I'm back
and we're releasing videos every week now so thank y'all who checked up on me
and I really really appreciate y'all so with that said let's not waste any more
time let's get started
so oftentimes musicians that I work with and teach they'll get the big stuff but
what they don't realize is that it's the small thing still the little licks here
the little ideas here their little movement here their little delay there
which makes they make the song that make the playing sound you make the make your
playing sound amazing and so what I want to do is I'm going to share a whole
bunch of these little small things that put together will drastically improve
your playing so we're going to use a song and this song is based based off of
a song by Dinah McClurkin called at the mention of your name so some of the
melody is a little different some of the chords are different but I've created a
lead sheet for you can download free you can download it just click in the
description box below and download that lead sheet and so that would be the
template that I'll use to demonstrate all these ideas and the song is an F so
I'm gonna play through it and I'm gonna play through it kind of kind of verbatim
left the lead sheet like how I see a lot of students play and then we'll start
adding some of these piano hacks as I called them so here's a song
you
all right so that's the so I'm coming with the melody for the most part now
we're gonna start taking these things apart adding things and really improve
your playing so let's get started
so many of my students when they're playing songs they just play the basic
chord so for instance on our demo song you see the first chord is f major with
the a as the melody so many times our students are played as
and then the second chord is f again f major with in first version with a and
the bass on the root on the bottom excuse me and seeing the melody so we do
this alright so many of my students will play it like that the next chord is a
b-flat major chord so the something like that so
and there's nothing wrong with that there are many times that I'll I prefer
to play that sound because it's what I need in the moment but let's yeah let's
create some other options I'm so some of the first options you can do is you can
extend the chords in other videos I've talked about colors so you can extend
chords and and and get add different colors or nones to the court that aren't
necessarily in this basic chord I used the example of like a hamburger my
Hamburg plain hamburgers like bread meat bread now if you had ketchup you've
added a different color or a different taste to the hamburger still a hamburger
but a different taste you add mustard some more taste you know
lettuce tomatoes and as you add more it's still a hamburger but now you've
transformed the plain hamburger into something delicious you know all right
so let's let's transform our chords from plain chords into something more so as
for our score all right so there are a couple extensions we can we can add so
if we take a basic F major chord at facing the the first extension you can
add it's the 7th so
gives the kind of a jazzy sound another extent and where I get that number 7
from he play Pascal 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 so so here's F major seven another one is
the ninth so one right there so and I'm gonna
leave out the seven for now so here's here than I let me bring the nine down
that's myself all right okay and let me give you one
more which will be the sixth or the thirteen so one two three four five six
seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen so Dee
mmm and it looks like a D minor seven if you're familiar with these chords but
it's also a f6 that's a nice color so those are three
colors you can add to your chords so let's just take the first three chords
of our song F f invert it and then b-flat and let's start adding these
colors so let's play it again for you just basic oh I had a color sorry stay
basic you
all right there it is so on this first chord let's maybe add the 13th so on F
this first F let's add this the 13 which is d
it's nice on this next court let's add so we invert the earth let's add the 7
that's beautiful on this B flat that's a different chord
let's add I don't know the 13 so let's figure out how we get the thirteenth in
B flat so let's play the B flat major scale 13 or the 6 so that's a G so we
have a regular B flat major chord how many add the G so let's do it again
let's change some um on the first chord let's play hmm let's add the 9 on the
first word instead of the seven so and many times I might leave out the F right
here because I have it down here so all right on the second chord
I have the seven well let's add the seventh and the nine so I'll keep the
seventh there and I'm having 9th on the left hand here so let's try it let's try
it so here it is again from the top so we have and then let's put our B flat
let's do just to make B flat major 7 as beautiful and then you see how we're
extending and adding colors to our notes so you can go through the entire song
and really begin to add colors to your place so now it's not just a it's kind
of stock sound but then we start getting something
right these different colors all right so that's one way you can definitely
improve your play
next Peter hack is to make the melody stand out and I have two ways to make
the melody stand out okay so you'll hear it all this are my kind of old veterans
in the game and the music Aten that is that the melody is your friend Melia is
the most important thing and so when you're playing songs you want them to be
recognizable and so you definitely want the melody to be there and so you want
the melody to stand out so often I have my students they'll come and play and
let's take our demo song now playing
and the melody kind of gets lost it amongst all the other notes so when is
that by useful many of my student says make the I you know the group Gladys
Knight & the Pips that's the old group so make the melody Gladys Knight and the
rest of the notes the pips in the background so so so what that means
physically is you're gonna play your melody louder and back down on the
volume on the rest of the notes so it sounds easy in theory but something
harder doing it real finger controls so let me try playing just the first little
bit and see if you can hear it so
hear that
all right so you did she out me the melody stand out still playing courts of
disease these are here but they're not front and center in your face over the
melody make the melody Center
so that's one way to really improve your playing gets make the melody stand out
all right another way to really separate the melody make the melody stand of it
is is to separate it from the rest of the nose literally separated so let's
take the first three chords of our demo songs we have right so F F again and
then B flat right well one thing you'll see me often do is do kind of a drop two
style of voicing and I have a video and drop two voicings that I put it it was
part of a bigger left hand series but I really took some time to I dressed drop
two voicings so definitely I'll put a card somewhere up here that you can
click and definitely check out that video because we really really got into
drop two voicings pretty good all right so so how do i doodle eyes out here so
if you weren't didn't see the video yet but drop two voicing simply means take
this second highest voice and lower why do we do that so the first chord we're
gonna take this F here and lower it a down octave and I might do another
octave but the point is we don't want any sound competing with the melody so
we separate the belly same thing with this course is a I have it done here I
can put it here
you see you can literally see as I play there's no note really close to the
melody as always it at least more than a third distance
all right now then I did something but the whole idea is to separate the melody
from the rest of the chord and that way your melody ends up sticking out and
it's really
you see this
so when you're playing you don't really have to worry about playing harder
because the melody is has this separation so that's another way you can
improve your play using that piano hack of separating the melody from the rest
of the chord
okay this is this is a really really big one this is one that we use all the time
to really improve the playing and that's what is it
so rhythmically displacing voicings voices so rhythmically displacing voices
that's technical terms for meaning don't play everything at the same time so many
my students when they play they'll play black cords
which is okay and has it and there's a definitely a time to do that but not all
the time so I want to give you some more options so they're out let me give you
I'll give you four ways to displace the voices the first way play the melody
first and then the rest of the chord alright so let's try that so here it is
you see
all right you see that's really and it works often you don't want to do it
everywhere because then you get this kind of weird timing issue but it's
definitely a great way to separate the melody as we talked about previously but
really to get away from these block courts now right okay another way let's
see let's do melody so the melody the outside voice is the melody and the
lowest voice in my left hand let's do those together so here we go
I'm sorry
all right so that idea right there really really is used often I mean often
often um I don't know I haven't really heard a musician not do that jazz gospel
whatever John reaches that option is really used heavily so definitely get
that one under your belts using playing the melody and the outside voice is the
highest and the lowest voice first and then playing the inside voices let me
give you another one I'm playing the left-hand guide tone first so if you
don't know the gaya tone is it's the third and seventh of the chords so for
playing for example F major seven
you want to play at the 3rd or the 7th now so third of 7th on 3rd and 6th and
depending on the core 3rd or 6 depending on the court alright so I utilize this
often on dominant chords and so what the idea is it's playing the guy turning in
your left hand first before you play the rest of the court so okay what I'm gonna
add a quarter here just for fun so after this B flat I'm at a b7 sharp knives
sharp 5 you see that and so it's for this b7 sharp 9 shot 5 the guide tones
are right d sharp and this a right
so
so it's matter
so you sort of did I hit the guys on first and I often do the third so I
won't use this seventh much I'll often use a third so
you see there's nothing to try the one some didn't
right here yeah so and what I'm doing is I'm going to first explore that b7 sharp
line chart 5 I'm not going I'm not going to play the 3rd in my left hand so I'll
proceed it by a half step and B 2 half steps
maybe I'll surround it maybe I'll do double surround
I might nothing this is it there's a hit what no
whatever
yeah all right so that's another way by playing the left hand I'm guy on first
and let's see I have one more for you and that's displacing the hand and so
playing for me I enjoy playing the right hand first followed by the left hand so
let me show you
you don't wanna use it everywhere
all right so you see it gives you this and what's cool about this is especially
in your right hand when you're playing kind of extensions when you play your
right hand kind of it kind of floats a little bit cuz we don't have contacts
and then you add the left hand which kind of grounds the sound so what it how
you see and then I've changed a chord a little bit so massage try again just
kind of floats then give it grounding
okay so that's a cool thing
see yeah I thought so that's four ways to rhythmically displace your voices so
the first way was played just a melody by itself and then the rested chord the
second way was play the melody and so the outside voice is the melody and
lowest note to get together and then at the middle voices third way it was play
I'm the guide tone in your left hand first and then the rest of the court and
then the fourth way is played one hand before the other and I don't pay my
right hand before my left hand all right so that's another way to another piano
hack for you to improve the plane
so another piano hack for you that will dramatically change your sound is grace
notes now anybody in gospel jazz R&B country we all use grace notes and so
the idea of grace notes is playing another note right before you play your
target note so let's say I'm just going to play a so I will play and for today
I'm gonna demonstrate two types of grace notes so the chromatic grace know is one
that's a half-step below so we'll say Qi sharp so on so let's say
I'm playing a on the beat so right yeah
so right before my I'm supposed to play my guitar you know I'm sorry I'm playing
that G sharp another one is kind of what I call scaler verse note which is means
in the scale so so in that case if I'm in F for instance the one below would be
G is that so we had G here G sharp a different sound and they're
appropriate for different occasions and I argue to ask both of them so now let
me give you let me give you two different methodologies for adding grace
notes there are many many many ways but this is just a way to get you started if
you're unfamiliar with these okay so one way is let's take a triad in root
position tell this stick with the key of F and that's made to try it here's what
I like to do I like to take my middle note which is a a and I like to grace
into that note so right here
sound should sound for me to survive you know that's now right let's try the G
I've heard that sound before
Yeah right
now let me give you a little tip because most people miss this and people I see
trying to play grace know so many times they'll play them wrong in this case
it's it's it's not a true grace note like so in essence instead it's not
before the court like you play this and then you better call it right that's not
really what it is what is this you see that okay so let me show you one more
way to grace which is doing both the G and the G sharps have done both the
scaler and the chromatic one it's together this is one gospel musicians
use all the time that's kind of a way to kind of bend the notes a little bit we
can't really bend notes on the piano unless you use the pitch Bend but so
this is our way of kind of bending getting in between the notes right all
right so something let's say but what happens
when you're playing inversions of course so let's say yeah we know if we're
playing in root position you know we can grace into this a time to move invert
the chord here I'm still gonna grace into the a even an inverted
even on vert up someone bringing down octave yeah
all right so now one cool thing let me give you two more cool things you can do
with these is and this works over every court every major chord so let's go to C
let's try it here so it'd be alright so now you'll see me sliding from one note
to the next that's something we do but that doesn't work in every key so you
should get familiar with playing two fingers as well it works when you're
able to slide from the Black Keys down to the white keys but you can't really
slide up that's at least very difficult so she give them familiar with you
things using two fingers not one all the time okay now one cool thing is let's
say I'm playing a b-flat major with some extensions so I have a belief that meant
for major not so if you look up here this is I asked
major try right there well I can still do my grace now from F right over the
flat what I did was I went back down I
here so and this idea works over minor chords now our minor chord in root
position doesn't really work like that well I said we played a D minor 11 so D
minor 7 9 11 well the sticker on top right there that
it's a C major triad so now I'm gonna do the same thing there alright so you can
utilize my minor chords or major majors with different extensions I'm still
looking for that triad and then make it happen there so that's one way you can
think of using grace notes another way if you're just skin started you it's
still a little confusing to you another way you can utilize them is that's just
of my students here just try grace and gracing the 3rd and 6th of the key so in
the key of F the third notice a on the sixth notice D one two three four five
six so it's almost do this anytime just practice now anytime you see a a and D
and you're in the key of F just grace into the note so
right here
so anytime I plant rent plan a and D I'm gracing into I'm trying to grace into
both of them and that way time to think about the cause I'm just thinking a and
D whenever I see a and D use those now that's a great way to get started
gracing at the notes okay so graceless two ways take the middle middle note the
third of the chord of a major chord and greats into that or just take the third
and sixth of the key in creation of those two okay so that's grace notes
okay Wow so you made it through those alright
great job thanks for watching all the way through now your job now is to go
and try to apply these and it might take a week you might take two weeks it might
take a month it might take two hours but definitely apply them each one
individually get it down and master it and then move on to the next one all
right remember we have sheet music in the
description box for each concept so definitely grab that and also check out
our social media pages our Instagram page and Facebook page and I'll put a
link to those in the description box below alright so thank y'all so much for
watching this again my name is corey taylor from SkilledMusician.com where
we are helping musicians improve so hopefully this video has helped you
improve so until the next one be blessed and happy practicing
