Have you ever seen someone playing piano without sheet music and wonder how are they doing that?

It's like magic to the uninitiated. They think this person must have years and years of training under their belt. And while some pianists do have years of classical training it doesn't mean a thing!

That's right. In fact, having a classical background can actually hinder your ability to just sit down and freely improvise. No, what most improvising pianists know is how to use chords. Chords and knowledge of the scale the chords came from is all that is needed to make music at the piano.

Now, most of you have heard of triads. These are 3 note chords that sound something Mozart or Beethoven might have played for their children to get them interested in piano. There's absolutely nothing wrong with learning triads - except for one thing... they're boring!

Listen to this

What if you could learn a chord position that would give you a modern sound right away AND allow you to use both of your hands. And what if this chord structure could provide you with rich, lush sounding chords? You'd probably want to learn this kind of chord type over triad's right?

Yet thousands upon thousands of piano students begin their studies with the age-old chord structure known as the triad. Now, thankfully, you don't have to start this way.

Here's the point. This is the year 2006. We have Jazz and contemporary styles that go beyond the triad and begin with something called seventh chords.

But how exactly do we play these? By using something called the Open Position Chord structure. Here we use both hands to finger a modern sounding seventh chord. And we use over 2 octaves of the keyboard as well. With this kind of chord, we can instantly begin creating our own music.

How easy is this? If I were to tell you that you could begin creating your own music within 1 hour would you believe me? Probably not. But if I were to show you exactly how to do it... well, then, that's another matter altogether. Don't take my word for it. Just take my free lesson below and see for yourself!
