Chords for Beautiful Arpeggio Patterns for Beginners (Easy!!)

_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] What's up my piano friends?
Zach Evans here and today I'm gonna teach you
[Am] some absolutely beautiful arpeggio patterns
[C] that even a complete beginner could play [Am] very easily.
This is something you [C] can use to impress your friends
and family [A] or church or wherever you wanna [C] play it.
Make sure you stick around to the end for a [A] simple trick
to get these sounding smooth and [F] even
and effortless on the keys.
All right, [Am] I'm ready to go.
Let's get started.
_ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ All right, so our first chord is a simple C major chord.
So we're gonna put our left hand on C, E, and G.
Same thing with our right hand, C, E, and G.
And we're simply gonna play [N] these notes
going up the keyboard.
[C] So C, [Em] E, G, [C] C, E, G, and repeat.
C, [G] E, [C] G, C, E, G.
And once you get this sped up, it's gonna sound like this. _ _ _ _ _
_ Already sounds good, but now let's add the second chord.
Now it's gonna be the exact same as our C major chord,
except this top note, we're gonna move it [Am] up one note
to this A.
So now it sounds like this. _ _
_ And repeat. _ _ _ _
Then for our third chord, looks the exact same
as our second chord, except this middle note,
we're gonna move [F] up to F.
_ And again, we play this going up twice.
[C] So, [F] _ _ _ _
[C] and repeat.
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [Am] And finally, we [A] go back to our original C chord
one [C] last time and play this twice as well.
_ _ _ And repeat. _
_ _ _ We basically just play each chord going up twice.
Once it's sped up, the whole thing sounds like this. _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ [A] Remember, if your sound's kind [G] of choppy and sloppy,
or you're having trouble [A] getting it to full speed,
[C] stick around to the end for the four step [N] process
to get smooth, even, confident playing.
But first, let me [A] show you a couple cool but simple ways
[C] to really add some sparkle to this pattern
[A] very easily with very [F#] little extra practice on your part.
Things that'll really make your friends and family
turn their heads and be like,
whoa, [N] how are you playing like this already?
So first up, we can play this pattern
on any C on the keyboard, [C] right?
So we can go to this C and this C
and play the exact same pattern.
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _
_ _ Or this C and this C, _ _
_ [Am] _ and it sounds cool in a different way.
[G] We can also play this on any G on the whole keyboard, right?
So we can take our [C] chord and simply shift it to a G,
play the exact same thing and it still sounds good.
_ _ [Em] _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
Or if you want a darker, more ominous sound for composition,
you can start on an A or [C] an E, right?
So if we take our chord and simply [Am] shift it to an A,
sounds like this.
_ _ _ [F] _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
Same thing if we shift [Em] it to an E. _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ [N] So now you have a ton of different colors
[G] to create your own [A] composition, but check this [C] out.
We can actually add a simple [Am] crossover to this pattern
that will make people think you're an absolute [A] pro
on the keys, but it's actually not that hard to play.
It just looks super impressive.
But before I [C] teach you that,
[G] if you're getting a lot of this video,
hit that [A] subscribe button
and hit the bell to get notifications.
I'd hate for you to miss out on any future videos
that [Cm] could really skyrocket your piano playing.
_ _ [Dm] _ [G] All right, so this next move is the move
that really, really impresses people on the keys,
but it's not that hard to learn.
All you do [C] is as we're playing our C chord,
and as we're going up,
we're gonna cross our left hand over our right hand
and hit this top C.
Here's what it sounds like.
_ _ Cross, hit this top C, and then go back down. _ _ _
One more time, we're going up,
_ cross, hit this C, and go back down.
_ _ _ We can do the same thing with any of our other chords.
So we're always gonna [Am] hit this top C.
So we could take our second chord
and again do the crossover, _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] or our third chord and [C] same thing, do the crossover.
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ So altogether with the crossovers,
here's what it's [C] gonna sound like.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] Trust me, you could learn this thing in less [G] than a week easy
and [A] people will be impressed.
And if you [C] like how this [B] sounds,
let me know by hitting [A] that like button now.
But the only catch is,
this [Gm] only sounds good if it's [C] smooth.
_ _ The biggest mistake beginners make
is they learn all the notes that I'm teaching,
but it sounds kind of sloppy and choppy like this.
_ _ _ _ It's actually [A] pretty easy to get that smooth, even [C] playing
using a four-step [Am] process called the steam iron method
that's [G] specifically designed to [A] transform
that sloppy, choppy playing
into that smooth, even tone on the keys.
It's a bit too long for this video,
but I'll put the link to that video [E] here.
By the way, we call it the steam iron method
because just like a steam iron gets the bumps
and [F#] wrinkles out of your clothes,
the steam iron method gets the bumps and [Am] wrinkles
out of your piano playing
to help you sound smooth and confident.
