I'll teach you to play 

"Chord Piano" in 10 days, 

using piano chords galore

or it won't cost you a penny!

Dear Friend:

     I'm not kidding.

     I really will teach you to play "chord piano" within the next ten days, or it won't cost you a single cent. Piano chords will revolutionize your piano playing, and you'll LOVE playing with them!

      I've been teaching piano lessons here in the Rogue River Valley of Oregon for over 20 years, and my Keyboard Workshop is known not only locally, but all around the world. If I couldn't do what I say I can do, I wouldn't still be around. But I'll leave that entirely up to you. If you don't learn to play "chord-style" piano in ten days, just send the course back to me and I'll give you an immediate refund -- no questions asked. I mean it. It's that good.

     Here's what you're going to be able to play 10 days from the time you receive your piano lesson course in Chord Piano:

     1. You're going to be able to play all 12 major piano chords easily and quickly. Some of my students can play them in as little as 3 seconds! (Honest!)

     2. You're going to be able to pick out a tune with your right  hand both "by ear" and by reading notes. (Some people  play by ear, and some by sight-reading. You're going to  be able to do both.)

     3. You will be able to play all minor piano chords, all diminished piano chords, and all augmented piano chords, just by changing each major piano chord slightly. But that's not all: You will also learn how to form and play 6th chords, minor 6th chords, 7th chords, minor 7th chords, maj7th chords (different than "regular" 7th chords), and even 9th chords! You will be able to do this for the rest of your life.

     4. You will learn to create a chording rhythm  pattern with your left hand, made out of the piano chords you learn, which you can use on a thousand different songs the rest of your life. If you like ragtime, you can use it on The Entertainer, and songs like that. If you like gospel music, you can use it on Amazing Grace, and a thousand other hymns or other Christian music (Actually -- any kind of "popular" piano music). If' you like Country-Western or Contemporary or Pop or whatever, you can apply this "chording bass" pattern to your favorite songs. (The only kind of piano music you shouldn't use it on is classical). You will learn to do this "swing bass" technique in both 3/4 and 4/4 time (and all the other variations). Then you will learn a left-hand technique called "arpeggios" -- where you'll "stretch out" the chord into a beautiful and full orchestral sound -- great for ballads, love songs, certain praise & worship songs, etc.

     5. You will learn a wonderful "harmonizing trick" you can do using piano chords. It's very easy to do, but adds a "duet effect' to your right hand melodies. (If you sing, or play another instrument, you can apply this technique to that as well!)

     6. You will learn how to "fill up the empty spaces" in a song with echoes, fills, and runs -- all made out of piano chords. This lesson alone is worth ten times the cost of the piano lessons, as only the very top professionals know how to do this. You'll learn rapid-fire runs, straddles, fills, melodic echoes, and cascading waterfall runs!

     7. You will learn how to arrange a song -- put an intro at the start of it, and an ending on the caboose. You can then take a piece of sheet music and play it your way, instead of just playing what's written.

     8. You will learn how to create a fantastic "orchestral pad" in your left hand part that creates a "river of sound" for ballads, love songs, Christian music, regular sheet music and any kind of song needing a "smooth" feel.

      By the way, you will not only learn how to do all these things, but you will also understand what you're doing! In other words, I teach music theory -- why piano chords work the way they do -- along with the specific skills, so you won't be doing anything by rote -- you'll understand exactly what you're doing and why you're doing it!

     The heart of the course is a big, 8 1/2" by 11" book with scores of illustrations so you can see everything and how it all works. Then along with the book I'll send you three bonus charts -- a " Visualized Piano Chord Chart" that shows  the 96 different chords I teach in the course, a " Magic Keyboard Chart" that slips behind the keys on your piano and guides you to the correct notes, and a " Major Piano Chord Locator" that lets you double-check your major chords to make sure they are right. The course comes in DVD video as well as in audio CD, so you get both. Get your enrollment in today, while you're thinking about it! Order right now!

Cordially,

Duane 

P.S. Don't forget that everything is guaranteed, so there is no way you can lose! The book, the 3 charts, the audio CD, the DVD video -- everything -- you get it ALL. Oops! I almost forgot -- if you order promptly you also get a book of songs to practice your new "chording" skills on!

 

Here are some of the things you will learn when you take the course:

  • 1st Day: You will SEE how to instantly recognize every note on the keyboard (you'll watch me do it on the DVD video, plus you'll have a "Magic Keyboard Chart" which will make it automatic!)

  • 2nd Day: You'll learn all about music symbols and what they mean. Rhythm symbols. Pitch symbols. Dynamics symbols. Never be puzzled again!

 

  • 3rd Day: You'll learn all about piano chords and how to form them. You will  learn ALL of the major chords -- ALL of the minor chords -- ALL of the diminished chords-- ALL of the augmented chords -- ALL of the 6th chords -- ALL of the 7th chords -- ALL of the 9th chords! That's a whole bunch of chords...but...you won't be confused, because now for the first time you will know the formula for chords! Plus you'll learn all the SYMBOLS for chords so you can read "lead sheets" and "fake books" -- symbols such as F7, Gm, E+, Db6 and zillions more!

  • 4th Day: You'll learn how to create a left-hand chording pattern in 3/4 time that will let you accompany the melody of thousands of songs in 3/4, 6/8, 9/8, and 3/2. All made out of the piano chords you will learn.

 

  • 5th Day: You'll learn how to create a left-hand chording pattern in 4/4 time that will allow you to add a "swing bass" to most any song in 4/4 or 2/4 time, and there are thousands of songs like that!

  • 6th Day: You will learn how to "harmonize the melody" in your right hand by adding 3rds and 6ths below the melody for a "duet" sound. (It's very easy to do, but not many piano players know about it!)

  • 7th Day: You'll learn how to play arpeggios ( arpeggios are piano chords that have been "stretched out") in the left hand for a beautiful flowing "orchestral" effect. If you want your playing to sound full and luscious, you will want to learn this technique for sure! (Great for love songs, praise songs, etc.)

 

  • 8th Day: You'll learn how to add "meat" to the melody for a bigger, fuller sound by plugging in piano chords under the melody in your right hand. Most people that use chords only use them in their left hand -- but you'll learn to use chords in both hands!

  Hands playing the piano

  • 9th Day: You'll learn how to "fill in all those empty spaces" in the music by adding runs and fillers of various sorts, such as "straddles", "echos", "tinkles", "rapid-fire runs", and "cascading waterfall runs".

  • 10th Day: And finally, you'll learn how to arrange a song from start to finish by putting a "front door" (intro) on a song and a "back door" (ending) on a song to give it a professional feel.

 

     Whether you take 10 days or ten weeks or ten years is up to you, of course -- but the piano chord course comes in 10 dynamite piano lessons that will take you from where you are to where you want to go. You'll start by learning what music is all about -- the 3 parts of music -- melody, rhythm, and harmony -- and then your learn to read a melody line (if you don't already know how). Then you'll learn how chords are formed, and how to get a grasp on all 12 major chords -- and then learn to change them to minor, diminished, and augmented.

     Then after you know 48 chords (12 major chords, 12 minor chords, 12 diminished chords, and 12 augmented chords), you'll learn to invert them (turn them upside down) so you'll have 144 chords to work with. But then you'll learn to add extensions to the basic chords -- 6ths, 7ths, major 7ths, 9ths -- for those wonderful and exciting sounds that add so much to music. That will give you....oh, about 1000 piano chord possibilities. Piano lessons were never this much fun!

     But that's when the fun just starts! Once you know piano chords, then you will learn how to create exciting rhythm patterns using those chords in a variety of ways -- from "swing bass" to "western bass" to "broken chord bass" to..........and each style has many varieties, so there is really no end to the distinctive styles you can come up with to create your own sounds using piano chords!
