The Piano Chord Ladder | Learn to Play Thousands of Songs

via Skillshare

Overview

Hi there! This course is designed to teach anyone the chord ladder on the piano, which allows you to play songs, improvise and accompany efficiently and basically cheat your way into piano playing, by only learning the most common chords required.

The lessons are there to guide you through discovering the concept of the ladder with some practise activities showcasing the simplicity and the recurring patterns of songs, and teaching to replicate and adjust them according to your preference.

Based on the "learn by doing" concept, I will use an example songs and progressions for you to follow along! After finishing the course, you will be good to go on your own!

After some practise you should be able to play any song immediately by using this system. After all you know the chords already.
