Are you a guitarist who wants to learn the piano ? (This course is for guitarists only . In this course, I teach piano in the most beneficial possible way to guitarists ). If you are not a guitarist , this course is not for you. The piano will offer INNUMERABLE benefits to ANY musicians, and it will make you a WAY BETTER guitarist that you will EVER be! Trust me, because that's exactly what happened to me. I have been practicing guitar seriously for YEARS, and I was learning a lot. But then I started learning the piano, and my guitar playing level shot through the roof. This is an INTENSE and FAST PACED course.  I don't want to waste a SINGLE minute of your time. I don't hit 'record' and fill my course with 10 hours of mostly ramblings, ifs, buts, maybes, fluff, uhm and ah, and extraneous noises (I myself cannot stand any of that in an online course). It's easy enough to fill in 10 hours if one doesn't edit out useless stuff out. I do edit every second. It takes me up to 40 minutes to edit a video that will be only 2 minutes long. I am more about content and substance than how things look. Every single word I say must have tutoring weight. Also, I don't believe in 'beginner to advanced' courses, most of them are superficial and bland and will turn you into a MEDIOCRE jack of all trades and master of NONE. Learning a bit of this and a bit of that with no real depth will only turn you into a mediocrity. You need to focus on ONE specific thing at a time, step by step, LASER FOCUS style, and it takes more than a few minutes to cover a single topic in depth. This attitude changed EVERYTHING for me. Sounds like fluff, but it's not. I never teach anything I have not learned really well, myself. Do you want to learn powerful music theory through the piano that most guitarists will NEVER understand?  Do you want to be in TOTAL CONTROL about all your musical activities, whether it's playing in a band or writing and performing your solos and pieces, or performing standard repertory, or ANY combination of all this? Do you want to learn to be a fearless guitarist ? There's a lot more to music theory than learning some boring bits in a confused and haphazard manner from most guitar players, and forgetting it. Most of them learn it ineffectively, and even more of them teach it ineffectively. We will learn powerful music theory at the piano, which, ironically, will be a HUGE boost for your guitar playing. The guitar fretboard makes no visual sense, and it’s tuning, even less. But the piano keyboard fixes all these problems. I will guide you step-by-step. I will tell you not only exactly what to do, and how to do it, but also what to AVOID doing. These are mistakes that only guitarists will make. As I happen to be BOTH a guitarist and a pianist, I am in a very unique position to know every do's and do not's about the piano, as related to guitarists. A pianist doesn't know all this other stuff about the guitar, but I do, which means I can tailor-made learning at the piano, for the guitarist, and pick and choose what are the things that will serve them best as musicians. At the end of this course you will have learned powerful music theory that will seriously BOOST your musicianship on guitar. Let's start today. Don't wait. Let me guide you through the secrets of this beautiful and fascinating instrument: the piano. PS. You have probably noticed that, unlike some other sellers, I am not selling hundreds of courses (and this is not at all a criticism about them or their courses!). In part this is because I haven’t been too long here on Udemy, but also because I vet the students /customers more, i.e. I do not teach complete beginners (not that there is anything wrong with them), and I never write “This course is for ALL” and “no requirements needed”. This course has requirements, and I am not trying to appeal to all. At all. This basically means that I sell less courses, but also that as a smaller seller I can and will answer to ANY questions you have about anything mentioned in the course. Just post ANY questions in the Q&A section of the course, and I promise I will answer to all, as helpfully as I can. Not only that, the best questions will be examined in a new video! If I were selling hundreds of courses, I could not answer more than a couple of student’s questions. But because I am a “smaller guy”, I can do what I mentioned above. And that is to your advantage. :) ——

This is because they have a well developed musical ear, and can hear the notes played and figure them out on the Piano/Keyboard. This course will help you to develop your musical ear , taking you from the earliest stages of Piano note recognition to being able to figure out basic Piano Chords without the use of any aids other than your own listening ability. These skills when developed properly, will open up a whole new world for you in the realm of music. You’ll no longer be restricted to the notes on a page, or have to search the internet for the chords to a song. But most importantly, you will improve as a musician . The best musicians always have a well developed ear , because it gives them a connection between what is in their head and translating that through their instrument, rather than being restricted to sheet music. If you develop this skill properly, you'll be able to listen to songs and understand what is happening, and figure them out and play them on the Piano all by yourself. You may also find that having a highly trained ear will help you in other scenario’s whether its playing Piano with a band, improvising on the Piano, music listening exams or writing songs. For example, let’s just say that you are trying to write a song, and have a melody in your head, you need to be able to play that on the Piano, or figure out the chord that will accompany it.
