The third post in my three-part series on really basic harmony. If you’ve missed the first couple of screencasts, you can find them here and here. As you may know, the whole series is designed to tie-in with my book, How To Really Play The Piano.
In the series so far we’ve covered the most basic bits of harmony you need to know, including how chords are made up and how they work with a melody to form a song. We’ve dealt with issues of key changes and the way chords can be voiced in different ways.
In this final screencast we’re going to look triads, their inversions and how they can be used to work out the fundamental chords of any key.
Quick note: to keep things simple, I haven’t included material here on building chords based on minor scales.

Thank you for these 3 basic harmony guides. I find, as a person who is just learning how to play the piano, that because I have no teacher to get direct feedback from, I need a few sources for some subjects. This set here as really helped my understand some things I was foggy on. I’d like to thank you very much for taking the time for putting these together and offering them up for free. I and the other that watch certainly do appreciate it.
