Breakthrough Chord Structure Makes Playing Piano a Breeze!
Do you have any idea why playing guitar a lot simpler than playing piano? The answer for this is guitar players learn by the use of chords first before reading the notes. Most guitarists frequently learn how to strum chords in the first position. This position is called the open position in which the person that is learning how to play a guitar quickly learns how to properly position that would already create a good music. This is the main reason why a lot of people love the guitar and are willing to learn how to play it.
Most of the people don’t want to waste their time learning “the masters” or anything else in the manner. It is all spontaneous and contemporary. However, it is considered unless of course it is a classical guitar.
Now the question here is “Why can’t those who would like to learn how to play piano have the same benefits?” Besides not everybody wants to play piano like Bach or Beethoven does. Here’s the good news, you can play the piano also by using only the cords. But these chords are not any ordinary chords. What I am referring here is about learning a chord structure that would produce a sound like a professional right away! This chord is also called the Open Position Chord. By this chord you can definitely create your own blend of music.
I know this idea seems unbelievable. Even I can’t believe I had made my own music until I have read about the open chord position from a book titled "The Four-Way Keyboard System." The author of the book, Alan Swain discussed in details about this chord position and the benefits that you will get by learning the system.
Actually, I didn’t read all what he had written in his book. I just simply played and follow the points wherein I was interested. And amazingly, I was addicted. That was really something that I could learn in a short period of time. What is surprising is that I could learn it in all the 12 keys with no effort at all. That was the moment that I told myself “Finally! I found what I am looking for.” The system is all about a modern sounding chord that would allow me to improve and create my own music with my both hands at the piano immediately and the quality of the music is quite impressive already.
I am sure that a lot of us already know what triads are. This 3-note chord arrangement has been used to invite students on playing the piano through chording. However, the triads are not really the best thing to start with. Sad to say that there is no good reason to begin your studies with triads because the Open Position has already made it all easier.
I would like to take note that if you want to create your own unique music, then there could never be a better chord structure than the open position chord! Otherwise if your goal is to read music and play the so called kum-ba-ya, then probably spend strenuous hours learning how to read and play the triads.
