Exploring Chord Voicings: A Journey Beyond the Basics

It’s fascinating how the lessons we learn early on can quietly become unquestioned truths—especially when they come from someone we admire. Their method becomes the method, and slowly, our understanding gets encased in routine. It feels secure. Familiar. Even sacred. Until something shakes that foundation.

For me, that “stone” was how I understood chords on the piano. Triads had three positions. Seventh chords had four. End of story. I practiced them. I used them. I taught them. But somewhere along the way, I stumbled into the concept of chord voicings—and everything changed. The possibilities didn’t just expand; they exploded. Suddenly, what had felt like rigid architecture became fluid artistry. My playing became more nuanced, more expressive… more me.

The real shift wasn’t in technique alone—it was in mindset. I had unknowingly placed boundaries around my creativity, and voicings gave me permission to redraw them. It’s a reminder that musical growth isn’t just about gaining new skills—it’s about shedding old limits.

✨ Here’s something worth trying:

🧠 The next time you sit at the piano, take a moment. Pause before playing. Let the silence invite curiosity. Ask yourself: “Is there another way?” That simple question could be your key to transformation. You might discover a new texture, a fresh emotional color, or a voicing that resonates more deeply than anything you’ve played before.

Because what we play is only part of the story.
How we think about playing—how willing we are to challenge our habits—is where real growth lives. That’s the heart of artistic evolution. And that’s something worth celebrating.

So let your time at the piano be more than practice. Let it be discovery. Let it be freedom. Let it be a reflection of your voice, evolving one question at a time.

Beginner Piano Course: Instant Results Day One

A personal invitation to those who’ve always wished music could feel simple, soulful, and theirs. This is not your average beginner piano course.

A Quiet Dream, a Persistent Feeling

Cocktail Piano Confidence Kit If you’ve ever walked past a piano and felt something stir—something between curiosity and longing—then you already know. That feeling of “maybe… if things were simpler… I could play.”

I created the Cocktail Piano Confidence Kit for exactly that. Not for trained musicians or theory buffs. But for those who dream quietly of music that flows from instinct, not instruction.

The Problem With “Learning the Right Way”

Most beginner piano courses start with theory, notation, and rules. They build walls before doors. You’re taught to wait for freedom—to earn it through drills and worksheets.

But consider this: we all learned our native language by speaking it first. We didn’t learn grammar before expression. We simply spoke. And it worked.

Music can be the same way.

The Missing Ingredient: Trust

After years of teaching, experimenting, and reflecting, I realized most people don’t need more information. They need trust—trust in their own ears, fingers, and musical instinct.

And trust isn’t built through busywork. It’s built through action. Through playing. Through experiencing music as a conversation rather than a test.

What the Cocktail Piano Confidence Kit Actually Is

This isn’t a traditional piano course. It’s a handful of short, purpose-driven videos that get you playing immediately—no music reading, no theory tutorials, no fluff.

Learn how to use simple triads to improvise cocktail-style piano
Discover how just one chord can unlock an entire mood
Skip the PDFs—every second respects your time and energy

If all you take from it is one shape, one sound, one flow—you’ll still make music that surprises you.

Why I Created This

I’ve watched too many learners quit because they thought music wasn’t for them. That unless they followed the “real” process, they didn’t belong at the piano.

That narrative? I reject it completely.

I built this kit for the student I once was—the one who wanted to play, not pass exams. The one who wanted to make something beautiful before they understood why it worked. The kit is me reaching back and saying: you don’t have to wait anymore. Music is ready when you are.

A Note About the Free Video

Yes, I’ll send you the first video lesson for free if you want to try it. But this isn’t marketing—it’s generosity. A way to let the course speak for itself. To show you what happens when you let go and just play.

If that one video lights something up in you—I’d love to hear about it.

Who This Is For

You’ve never read music—and maybe don’t want to
You’ve always wanted to play piano, but thought it was too late
You’ve tried learning, got overwhelmed, and quietly gave up
You want to make beautiful sounds without needing permission from a theory book

If that’s you—I made this for you.

What You’ll Learn

How to improvise using simple triads—no theory required
How emotion drives sound more than rules ever could
How to create cocktail-style patterns that sound like you’ve played for years
How to trust your hands—and hear something worth listening to

You’re Already Musical

If you’ve read this far, you’re already musical. That impulse—that wonder—it means something’s alive in you already. You don’t need credentials to validate it. You just need a starting point that feels real.

The Cocktail Piano Confidence Kit is that starting point. Not comprehensive. Not overwhelming. Just honest, joyful, and ready when you are.

Play Piano with No Experience: The Day Mike Stepped Into Music

🎹 One Afternoon, Everything Changed

If you aspire to play piano with no experience, let Mike’s story serve as inspiration. One quiet afternoon, he walked into my studio with a bold request. After a brief introduction, he explained that he had an upcoming company meeting at a hotel—and he knew there was a piano waiting in the lobby. His dream? To sit down and play something that would turn heads.

He didn’t want to fake it. He wanted the real thing.

And here’s the twist: Mike had no experience playing piano whatsoever.

🎵 Starting with Simple Chords

We booked a lesson. When Mike arrived, we shared a few light words about his goal, and then I had him sit at the piano.

I introduced him to a few basic triads—easy major and minor chords that form the foundation of countless songs. We added a little movement, some arpeggios, and I let him explore what those chords felt like under his fingers.

Then we added the sustain pedal. Suddenly, these chords weren’t just shapes—they were music.

Within that first session, Mike was playing simple progressions and arpeggios that sounded smooth, deliberate, and expressive. His eyes lit up. He smiled like someone hearing a secret language he didn’t know he already spoke.

✨ The Power of Momentum

Over the next few lessons, Mike’s confidence grew. He wasn’t chasing virtuosity—he was building a musical moment. And each step made him more excited about his meeting. He envisioned sitting down in the lobby, letting a few chords ripple across the keys, and giving his colleagues a performance that sounded seasoned and sincere.

But the real win? It wasn’t about impressing anyone. It was about proving something to himself.

When Mike realized he could play piano with no experience, it opened a door that had always seemed locked. He didn’t need to master scales or read sheet music. He needed a framework, a little guidance, and the permission to play without judgment.

✅ What Mike’s Story Teaches Us

Playing the piano is not reserved for the gifted few—it’s accessible, forgiving, and full of possibility.

You don’t need years of lessons to sound musical. A handful of chords, played with intention, can be captivating.
You don’t need to know theory to create emotion. Pedal use and pacing bring life to even the simplest shapes.
You don’t need perfect technique to move an audience. You only need the courage to start.

Whether you want to play in a hotel lobby, at home, or in front of loved ones—you can play piano with no experience and still sound amazing.

🌱 Starting Is Everything

If you’re thinking, “I’ve always wanted to play, but I’m not musical,” let Mike’s story prove otherwise.

Your fingers already contain the rhythm. Your ears already understand feeling. You don’t need perfection—you need permission.

Start with:

Basic chords: major and minor triads are your gateway.
Arpeggios: break the chord into a cascading series of notes.
The sustain pedal: let those notes breathe.

That’s all Mike had. And it worked.

🗝️ Let Go of Judgment, Embrace Joy

Mike wasn’t trying to be the next jazz legend—he just wanted a musical moment he could feel good about. He got that, and more. And so can you.

Playing piano is as much emotional as it is technical. If you can release the self-judgment, open your curiosity, and allow yourself to experiment, the piano will respond. It will teach you as you go.

No experience? No problem. Let your first chord be your starting line.

🎶 Ready to Begin?

You’re closer than you think. Want to experience how good playing piano with no experience can feel?

I’ve crafted free lessons built around this very idea—starting simple, unlocking expression, and helping you create something real.

👉 Tap into the joy of playing with no pressure, no judgment, and no need for prior training. It’s all waiting at the keys.

Beethoven's left hand accompaniment Beethoven’s “Für Elise” stands as one of the most recognizable and beloved piano compositions in the classical repertoire. Its haunting melody and delicate harmonies have captivated listeners for centuries. While the piece as a whole showcases Beethoven’s genius, one particular element that has intrigued both pianists and enthusiasts alike is the left hand accompaniment pattern.

Simple Yet Effective

At the core of “Für Elise” lies a simple yet effective left hand pattern: the use of the root (1), perfect fifth (5), and octave (1) of the chord progression. This pattern, similar to a broken chord or arpeggio (though this pattern consists of an incomplete chord), provides a solid foundation for the piece’s melodic intricacies and adds depth to its overall texture.

The left hand begins with the tonic note, in this case, A, followed by the perfect fifth, E and then returns to the octave of the tonic, A. This pattern repeats throughout the piece, creating a rhythmic and harmonic backdrop that supports the melody played by the right hand.

What makes this left hand pattern so effective is its versatility and adaptability. While it was originally composed for “Für Elise,” pianists and composers have since utilized it in various contexts, demonstrating its applicability beyond Beethoven’s masterpiece.

In addition to “Für Elise,” this left hand pattern can be found in numerous other standard songs across different genres and styles. From jazz standards to pop hits, its use transcends classical music boundaries, showcasing its timeless appeal and effectiveness in enhancing musical compositions.

Use Beethoven’s Left Hand Pattern In Your Own Playing

One example of its application outside of classical music is in jazz standards such as “Autumn Leaves” and “Fly Me to the Moon.” Pianists often incorporate the left hand pattern to create a swinging groove while improvising melodic lines with the right hand. This juxtaposition of rhythmic stability and melodic freedom is a hallmark of jazz piano playing and highlights the versatility of the left hand pattern.

Furthermore, in popular music, artists and songwriters frequently use the left hand pattern to establish a rhythmic foundation in ballads and pop songs. Whether it’s accompanying a heartfelt ballad or driving a catchy pop melody, the simplicity and effectiveness of the pattern make it a staple in contemporary music production.

Less Is More

Beyond its practical applications, the left hand pattern in “Für Elise” symbolizes Beethoven’s innovative approach to composition. Despite its seemingly simple nature, the pattern adds depth and complexity to the piece, showcasing Beethoven’s mastery of musical form and structure.

In conclusion, Beethoven’s iconic left hand pattern in “Für Elise” serves as a testament to the enduring power of musical motifs. Its widespread adoption across different genres and styles highlights its universal appeal and timeless significance in the world of music. Whether in classical masterpieces or contemporary hits, the left hand pattern continues to captivate audiences and inspire musicians worldwide.

Learn These Primary Chords First

An Introduction To The Primary Chords

Why will knowing how to play your primary chords boost your confidence quickly? My decades of experience as a piano coach have made it clear to me that the majority of piano beginners want the shortest path to immediate results possible. This is understandable since even small successes breed further enthusiasm and interest. So what’s the best way to go?

Well, there is more than one option, of course. That said, it is my perspective that if you can get a handle on just a few of the most often used chords, the fun you can have with them can have you enjoying many hours at that piano or keyboard of yours.

Here’s How To Know What They Are

So, what are the chords used most often? Well, quite simply they are the the chords that are built on the first, fourth, and fifth degrees of a given scale. Let’s look at the note names in the key of C Major:

C D E F G A B C

The first, fourth, and fifth notes (or degrees) in this scale are C, F, and G. We use Roman numerals to refer to these scale degrees. Therefore, we can refer to these three degrees of the scale as I, IV, and V.

Once we build a chord on these degrees, we have the following:

C Major, F Major, and G Major (illustrated below)

The key furthest to the left in each of these chords is the name of the chord. We call this the Root of the chord.

These three chords, the I chord, IV chord, and V chord, form the “backbone” of the key of C Major. You will notice that if you actually play all these chords at the same time (not practical), you are playing all the members of this scale.

The I, IV, and V chords are known as the primary chords, or primary triads, of the key (a triad is a chord that consists of three notes).

These Primary Chords Serve As Your Foundation

The great news? Once you can play these three chords, you can play a lot of songs! That’s right… countless tunes include just these three chords. Here’s even more good news: all the other chords you will learn have their basic foundation in these three chords. Once you have a handle on these three, you are actually in a much better position than you might currently imagine.

Okay, since you know that there certainly is value in knowing this chord “trio,” let’s not put it off any longer. It’s time to play them!

Free Video Shows You How To Play These Chords And More

Rather than getting into a “wordy” explanation of how, it makes a whole lot more sense to show you how to play them. You have the opportunity right now to learn how to play all your major chords (including these three, of course) in a way that is so simply, it’s almost silly. Simply click on this link and you will be taken to a page that will direct you toward instant access to this very special video.

Your Ticket To Playing Piano By Ear

Since these three chords are primary, they are more apt to be used in most songs. A person trained to play by ear automatically listens for the existence of these chords. So, by making it a priority to familiarize yourself with them, you’re doing a world of good for your musicianship.

Keep It Fun

You’re on your way, so have fun mastering these major triads! By the way, if you ever have a question, feel free to send it my way. I would love to hear from you.

How To Play Piano By Ear: A First Step

Learning How To Play Piano By Ear

Child is listening to music The process of learning how to play piano by ear is an ongoing journey that opens doors to a whole new dimension of musical understanding. Are you capable of it? You bet you are. Don’t believe it?

You don’t have to believe that it’s possible. Why? Because the proof is in the pudding and once you get a tiny glimpse of success with using your musical ears, your belief will manifest automatically. Have you ever been amazed by a youngster who can do this well? It’s because that little one hasn’t yet learned that it cannot be done!

The Myth Of Playing Music By Ear

There is one major obstacle that often prevents people from enjoying success with playing piano by ear( this applies to any instrument, by the way). At one time or another, a person witnesses another individual pulling off the major stunt of squeezing a song out of those piano keys without any music whatsoever. To the uninitiated, this can seem like magic.

It’s not magic. Rather, a person who can play by ear is simply in touch with hearing certain sound distinctions that others may not be – yet. Anyone can start recognizing these “distinctions” by simply being receptive to them.

Sound Distinctions? Huh?

Yes. You are capable of discerning the difference between certain types of sounds. For example, let’s say that someone was to put you to the test by telling you that, with your eyes closed, either a sports car or an 18-wheel dump truck was about to drive by your house, would you be able to tell which one it was just by listening? Of course you could. But why? Because you’ve had a past reference that taught you how noisy one of the trucks can be.

See? You familiarized yourself in the past with a sound that you can recognize today. You heard it enough times where that recognition is instant.

That is the key to learning how to play piano by ear. You familiarize yourself with certain sounds to the point where this recognition is instant for you. If someone was to start playing “Jingle Bells” on the piano without telling you what song it is, what are your chances of recognizing it? Pretty darn good, right? That’s enough proof that you have the tools to play piano by ear. To get competent with playing music by ear, you just need to nurture the process.

Playing Piano By Ear Is Not Difficult

Here’s some good news. Playing music by ear is not a painstaking thing to learn to do. Rather, it’s a lot easier than that. The more fun you let it be for you, the easier it gets. It works the other way around, too… the easier it gets, the more fun it becomes!

Play “Jingle Bells” Right Now By Ear

Let’s just play a tiny segment of this song. Go to your piano or keyboard and choose one key to play. It doesn’t matter which one. Got it? Okay. Press that key down three times and hold it down the third time. Go ahead.

Did you hear “Jingle Bells?” Well, now… it seems that you have made a connection between a sound (part of the song) you’ve heard before and what you are playing. Chances are that you’ve heard that song so many times, it’s no effort to recognize it, right?

Okay, now you know that part of the song can be played simply by playing the same key three times. Do it… choose another key and repeat what you did a moment ago. Ahh! Success! Use another key… more success! (You are actually playing the song in different keys!)

You’re playing by ear! You might be inclined to not give yourself a whole lot of credit for what you just did but you would be underestimating an ability that you possess (really!).

A Secret To Playing Piano By Ear

Okay, this is something you just have to know. Ready? Playing music by ear well involves your being willing to have a lot of fun making lots and lots of mistakes.

Read that again a few times because 1) It’s true and 2) That truth is going to be a best friend of yours.

Here’s a little game I would like you to have some fun with. Go to your piano or keyboard and play a few keys arbitrarily. Do it again with different keys. Repeat the process dozens of times. As you do, just allow your ears to hear. As you do this, does anything you’re playing remind you of a tiny piece of something you’ve heard in the past? If not, keep at it because it will happen.

As you perform this exercise, have no concern about playing anything correctly. Just play and allow your ears to hear what you are playing. Don’t try hard at this. Have no concern about “being right” about anything. Just allow yourself the freedom to play and hear.

It Will Get More And More Interesting

There’s a whole lot more you will learn on this interesting journey and we’ll be covering more of it. Meanwhile, appreciate what you are doing now, keep a smile on your face, and allow your ears to do what they were designed to do… HEAR!

Inspiration Through Implementation

Use It, Don’t Lose It

One of the biggest compliments received by ProProach members of the program is that it emphasizes the utilization of what is learned. That program places a heavy focus on learning new piano chord voicings but it doesn’t stop there. You see, it actually provides genuine examples of the techniques and strategies discussed being incorporated into actual songs. There is no better way to reinforce newly learned concepts.

Do you make a regular habit of using what you practice?

If you happen to be working at perfecting a particular song segment, then it is clear that your practice time is being applied musically. But what about those exercises, including scales and patterns? Do you generally go through the motions of playing them or do you make efforts to incorporate them in musical scenarios?

For example, if you are a student of Hanon: The Virtuoso Pianist, it is understood that these exercises were created for certain specific technical benefits. At the same time, they can be put to music, too. Have you ever thought about using a little portion of Exercise #1, for instance, as a piano fill for the turnaround section of a standard song such as How High The Moon (by Nancy Hamilton & Morgan Lewis)?

What about those scales? A major (no pun intended) reason they are often viewed as boring “have to’s” is because they are often not used beyond the context of those scale books. Jazz players make a habit of putting scales and patterns into practice with their improvisations. But you don’t have to be a jazz musician to learn to take your practice time into more creative realms.

Obsessed With Conformity?

“But I’m a classical player and putting fills into Beethoven’s Fur Elise isn’t something people do!”

It’s true that most people don’t. Along with that, you aren’t very likely to hear Beethoven’s music to be modified in such a fashion. Actually, that’s a topic for another writing but who is to prevent you from being creative with that music? It has been said by someone wise that the opposite of courage is conformity. Maybe “coloring outside the lines” is what you just might need to add “pizzazz” to your practice routine. Consider watching some video recordings of master entertainer Victor Borge and allow yourself to be inspired!

Colorize Your Experience

Okay, a main point here – and it would be accurate to say this was my inspiration for creating 88 Keys To Learning – is this: be sensitive to those moments in your practice routine when your emotions/feelings leave the inspirational stage.

Sure, there can be technical value in performing exercises in a disciplined manner even if you’re not absolutely loving the experience… BUT there’s a whole lot MORE value in it if you ARE loving it!

Consider keeping an index card on your piano’s music stand that reads, “How can I turn this particular experience into something even more fun and rewarding?” What a powerful little reminder that can go a long way toward not only having a more enriching practice session… but also a greater day!

Practicing Piano: 88 Keys To Learning

Practicing Seem A Bore & A Chore?

Practicing piano just got better! There’s something about that word “practice” that creates a resistance within some individuals. Maybe it’s the implication of hard effort and even boredom.

Change It All

But it never should be like that. As a matter of fact, it ought to feel like a pleasure and privilege each and every time you sit at that piano or keyboard of yours.

I am not able to express in words the fun I had when creating 88 Keys To Learning. It made me recall several episodes of my early practice days which would have been a whole lot more fun if I had the help of the kind of encouragement offered in this collection of “Keys.”

Develop Awesome Habits

I find it interesting how we humans, as creatures of habit, make it really easy to fall into “ruts” of thinking that we never seem to be able to shed. This is especially true when it comes to our approach to practicing piano (or any instrument, for that matter).

There Is Hope

88 Keys To Learning was created to throw a curveball into the “mixing pot” of frustration, anxiety, and boredom that often accompanies practicing. Whether you are an adult who is attracted to the benefits of playing piano but can’t seem to establish a practice routine you can stick to or you are a parent of a youngster whose practice habits are erratic, you’ll find hope in 88 Keys To Learning.

Is practicing scales a thorn in your side? Do you find yourself faced with technical challenges that just seem to recur without being met with a resolution? Does sightreading scare you? What type of practice challenges do you encounter?

Energy Renewed

Use your imagination for a moment. What if all those “bumps in the road” became your source for adventure and a sense of inner accomplishment? As a parent, what if you could offer your child some encouragement that would turn his or her situation inside out for the better?

Piano Teacher’s Helper

Are you a piano teacher? Surely, you already know that each student has their own brand of discouragement or setbacks in some area of their practice routine. You’ll want to encourage each of them to own a copy of this collection of “Keys.” Things will change for them and you will be thanked for it.

Your Own Creativity Awaits You

A chief aim of mine is for you, the reader and practitioner, to use these “Keys” in a fashion that serves you best, including putting your own “spins” on them and coming up with your own insights as you let these ideas change the way you practice. As a teacher, you will undoubtedly incorporate many of these ideas into your own teaching approach to instill more enthusiasm into your students’ practice routines and help them reach greater heights of creativity.

88 Keys To Learning will not replace any piano method you may be involved with, as it was never intended to do that. However, it is sure to serve as the perfect compliment to any piano practice routine. When you incorporate these “Keys” into your routine, the sky’s the limit.

Play Piano With Confidence

Play Piano With Confidence I have been conducting piano lessons in a one-on-one environment for many years. Many of these clients have been adults who already had a fair to good amount of previous experience with reading and playing the piano. Their knowledge of and ability to play chords has also been significant enough in order that they might be competent enough to be able to perform a rendition of a favorite standard song in a decent fashion.

Yet it has always interested me that, despite their possession of such knowledge and skills, many of them have one significant characteristic in common:

Their playing lacks that “certain something” that lets a listener know they are in command of that piano keyboard in terms of producing genuine music.

Note that I said their playing lacks that “certain something” rather than saying they don’t possess such ability.

So, what’s responsible for this lack of confidence that is necessary for a performance to come across as convincing? Well, simply put, the music cannot come out of the instrument if it does not first reside in the performer. I see it time and time again where an individual will approach playing a song as if they are mechanically trying to make that piano do what they want. In other words, rather than hearing and feeling the song within and allowing that experience to be naturally conveyed to the instrument, they seem to view the piano as a “machine” to which they are giving instructions via “pushing buttons.”

This is an issue that is much easier conveyed one-on-one than it is via writing about, of course. However, it is so important to the musician who aspires to play authentically that it needs to be addressed. I created two specific video sessions that are aimed at helping a pianist to get that “flow” happening in his or her playing as well as providing suggestions for how to approach playing those left-hand chords in a way that makes musical sense. You can access How To Play Standard Songs With Confidence #1 and #2 by clicking here.

Remember, if you are not able to fluently sing a song – at least hearing and feeling it within – then your potential for performing that song in a fashion that “sings” is rather limited. Therefore, a preliminary suggestion is to familiarize yourself with that song so well internally that what your “singing on the inside” must inevitably be projected through your instrument and, ultimately, to your listeners’ ears. Once you master this relationship between yourself and your instrument, your music will always be taken seriously.

Easy Way To Make Music At The Piano

No Reading Necessary!

Piano Chords Video & Guidebook I want to put it on the table right away so there is no misunderstanding. It is not my intention to minimize the benefits of reading music. The ability to read music opens you to an entire world of wonderful possibilities.

That said, let’s be real. Based on my over four decades of teaching people, I know for a fact that there are lots of people out there who never even gave themselves permission to enjoy themselves tickling those ivories because they saw “the need to read” as an obstacle to overcome. They let that stop them from having fun getting involved with what could be an absolutely terrific, fulfilling hobby. I also think it’s accurate to say that most of these people are not aware that some of the most outstanding musicians of our time never learned to read music.

When an adult with absolutely no experience enters my studio, getting them to learn how to read music is the least of my concerns for the time being. The main goal is to get that individual to express himself or herself in a musical way as soon as reasonably possible. Most of the time, within about 20 minutes, these people become intrigued by the possibilities in front of them.

Expressing Yourself Is Natural

Remember this: you expressed yourself verbally before you could read or write your language. When you were hungry, you learned quickly how to cry for food. When you were thirsty, your instincts made it easy to get your message across.

Making music can be the same way… and it ought to be.

A most delightful way to enjoy quick results at the piano or keyboard is to explore your harmonic possibilities. Harmony can be simply defined as two or more notes played together that sound good. A chord can be easily defined as harmony that consists of three or more notes played together that sound good.

So, friend, if you want to start enjoying yourself at the piano without knowing how to read a note of music, start having fun learning chords. Chords are where it’s at!

A Quick Way To Have Fun With Chords At The Piano

I put together a very informal, easy-to-understand video and guidebook that makes learning your basic chords so easy, it’s almost funny. It doesn’t require shipping. As with everything in our online store, you can gain instant access to it. It’s called Piano Chords 101 and you can click here to start having fun with playing chords right away. Yes, I mean within minutes, not hours.

You see, there is something about even just playing chords on the piano that is satisfying. I believe that we were put on this planet to live in harmony. So it makes sense that producing harmony is a very natural, rewarding experience.

Sure, once you learn those chords, you’ll soon be in touch with creative things you can do with them. Actually, that video described above will get you started playing chords in a creative way. There is no time like the present to begin making music… let that time be now.
