§ Playing Pop on the Piano

created 2024-11-13
  • Key idea: only allowed to play chords that share at least one note.
  • In some cases, permissible to play a chord that is at a distance of 1 (semi)tone away.
  • This forces one to know how to play all inversions of I, IV, V, i, VI, vi!
  • Conceptualize an inversion as a slash chord, so taking CEG as an example, don't try and think EGC (this is hard), but rather think E / CEG (somehow, this is way easier!)
  • This is a good thing, but is also super super confusing when one starts out :).
  • Thanks to Luisa !
