Clearing Up Chord Symbol Confusion, Part 1 Piano Questions Answered
Check out Chris Lody’s YouTube channel:
The chord symbols used in jazz and pop piano playing can be pretty confusing, so in this tutorial and the one following it I’m going to take a look at how chord symbols work and some of the most common sources of confusion arising from them. In this video we’ll look at the basics of how symbols work, then at the symbols basic major and minor chords, their extensions (like major and minor sevenths), then at diminished and augmented chords.
This isn’t a tutorial for absolute beginners: I’m assuming you know what the chords actually *are* – rather, it’s about clearing up the confusion that can surround the symbols we use to represent them. If you need to refresh your chord knowledge, try this tutorial:
