  1. when playing from lead sheets you can sound like a beginner painfully hacking away at the [Music]
  2. chords or like someone who's actually making music and having fun doing [Music]
  3. it this step-by-step lead sheet guide is great for pianists who are new to lead sheets or newer to the piano or classically trained pianists who aren't
  4. used to this style of music reading this is the final part of the ultimate road map to piano chords and from your comments so far I know that these have
  5. been helpful which makes me very very happy if you're new to this Channel and series my name is Susan and if you ever have any questions about cords chord
  6. symbols or anything related to chords you might need to back track and watch some previous lessons to catch up today I have six practical steps for you to
  7. follow as you play from lead sheets but first we have to do a quick pre-step how to interpret different parts of lead sheets the tune is written in the
  8. trouble CL with the chords written above the staff the chords are lined up with certain Melody notes in the first measure we see an f and D minor chord so
  9. you'll play an F chord on beat 1 and a D minor chord on beat 3 sometimes you'll see a measure without a chord written above it and that usually means that
  10. whatever chord was in the previous measure still applies everything else the key signature time signature repeat signs they all are the same and work the
  11. same as in regular piano music now lead sheets are loose guides I like to think of them as a really great in between to notated music and improvisation so if
  12. you're trying to get from the Trad notation to a point where you can impro improvise lead sheets might be a good in between to help you get there these six
  13. steps I give you today are just a starting point so feel free to divert from them once you get the hang of how this
  14. works step one learn the melody figure out the notes Rhythm and fingering that you want to use you want
  15. to become familiar with tune and how to play it before adding chords especially if you're a beginner to lead sheets step two play the melody and bass notes
  16. together don't worry about the chords just play the bass note from each chord this way sounds decent so if you're a beginner you might want to stop here
  17. step three figure out the chords take the time to figure out what notes are in every chord do some
  18. research if you need to like revisiting earlier parts of this series you don't need to be able to play every chord yet step four block the leftand chords alone
  19. and then with the melody [Music] most people tend to start here right away and then they get stuck because
  20. it's really information overload but if you follow the steps up to this point you already know how to play the melody you have an idea of where your left hand
  21. needs to move to for every cord and you've already analyzed the chords now during this step it's very important that you don't develop a start stop bad
  22. habit [Music] and you might be like well I'm eventually not going to have to stop
  23. before a cord after I practice it more but I'm here to tell you that that thought is a trap you're basically teaching yourself that you should stop
  24. before every new cord and this will cause you to stop before every cord even if you don't need to because it's already so ingrained that you just can't
  25. get rid of it or you won't even hear that you're stopping because you're just so used to playing it that way the better solution is to go at a slow
  26. enough Tempo from the very beginning that you don't even need to stop in the first place
  27. [Music] imagine a hurdler who stops before every single hurdle to prepare to jump sure they'd be able to clear the obstacle but
  28. they'd be very slow if you watch a hurdler in slow motion you'll see they prepare way before the actual hurdle because they know it's coming up and
  29. that's how they've trained go at a slow enough Tempo so that you have time to think ahead to what's coming without affecting your steady pulse also for
  30. this step you might consider leaving out the more complicated elements to a cord at first or even just play the outline of the chord for example the G minor 7th
  31. chord can be played just as a G minor chord at first or even a G and D same with the F dominant
  32. 7th often times the color note of the chord is in the melody anyway so you'll still get at the flavor of the Harmony and then you can plan to add the
  33. complicated Parts later finally when blocking the full cord always choose to play higher on the
  34. piano when you can because chords that are played in the lower Reg tend to get too muddy to really hear the tonality or color of the
  35. chord step five choose one chord pattern to practice pick the easiest one you can think of and stick with it until you
  36. have it if you do this each new and more challenging pattern that you choose later on will feel easier and easier this is better than choosing a ton of
  37. different patterns to try all at once and not feeling like you've mastered any of them
  38. [Music] step six begin to experiment remember that the point of playing from lead sheets is to add your own spin to a tune
  39. once you're able to stick to a few chord patterns get creative add some rhythms to give it a totally different vibe
  40. practice giving the right hand some chord duties while still playing the melody
  41. have both hands play a chord pattern while humming or singing The [Music] Melody and try adding a walking baseline
  42. or other passing tones a great way to get ideas is to use actual piano repertoire as your
  43. inspiration even if those ideas don't really fit the mood of the tune or the piece it's still fun to try out and apply
  44. n [Music] as you experiment remember that you
  45. don't have to play every single note in every single chord simple is sometimes better so let your ear be your guide and pulse is more important than playing
  46. every single chord or every single note another random tip is to become a member of piano road map I have a newly refreshed website and to
  47. celebrate I'm giving away one month free to one lucky commenter on this video and that's all you have to do I'll announce a winner on Tuesday September 24th but
  48. wait there's another way to win with my new referral program if you refer one friend that hasn't been a member before and they join you get one month free and

  51. two so right now I have through unit 5 available now these lessons go in depth Page by Page through the fav books in a handy calendar format to keep you on
  52. track although it's still easy to go at your own pace as needed aside from the material in the Faber books there's what I call supplementary material so this
