Technique for playing chords

Many of you have asked me to put up some tutorials for playing the piano. Like I said, I'm no expert. If you listen to my first song "papa kehte hain" and the most recent one, "main agar kahoon", you'd know what difference practice can make. Same keyboard, same player, no offical keyboard lessons - but 1.5 years of time between both the songs, which is long enough for practice. To play a song,

1. You need the notes - you have them here 2. You should hit the notes with the right

tempo

keep

practicing

3. Strike the chords - hardest part, if you really choose to play chords This post addresses task #3 above.

Again, there are two ways to play chords, if you consider an electronic keyboard: 1. Hitting the chord keys all at once and turning the "accompaniment" of the keyboard to ON, 2. Playing the keys using rhythmic patterns. #1 is the simpler of the two. Again, coordinating the left and right hands requires practice. Rhythmic patterns are harder to play. When I get the chords (left hand) right, I miss out on the notes (right hand) and vice-versa. So, I choose a keyboard style and play the chords using method #1 - this gives the effect of playing a pattern, without the actual finger movement. After researching on the Internet, I picked up a technique using which chords can be played at ease, with minimal effort. Presenting it below, with pictures.. Lets say you want to play C-major followed by

A-major C-major:

in

succession..

A-major:

&

one

after

the

other:

Notice the left most red dot and the right most green dot. That's the entire span of keys that your fingers should move across to play both the chords. Instead, if you confine yourself to just one octave like this: C-major:

A-major:

&

A:

Now look, your fingers just need to dance on 7 keys. Do you see the reduction in effort? That's the way I play! Ideally, when you play a chord, say C-major; you should start with the root note that is C. Hit the 4th key from there which is E, and the 7th key from root, which happens to be G. C-E-G is the sequence. But, as per the technique shown above, you play: G-C-E. There is a difference in sound between the two, because in the 1st case an upper scale G is used, while in the 2nd, the lower G is played. Minor difference, but for time-pass players like most of us, that's pretty much acceptable. So, dear piano-enthusiasts, try this out.. I'm sure you'll be more comfortable with chords henceforth.

Dear readers...

My dear loyal visitors, I appreciate your taking the time to navigate my blog and leave a word of appreciation on it. Thanks you, thank you, thank you so much! One thing that's common among most comments is request for more songs. Well, when I started this blog, I had all the time in this world. But today, as I type this post, there are hazaar other things I'm pre-occupied with and sadly, playing the piano has taken a back seat. :( One new song a month is all I can learn. I already have a list of songs that I really really want to learn 1. tere liye from Veer Zaara 2. khuda jaane from Bachna Ae Haseeno 3. saanson ko saansein from Hum Tum 4. tanha tanha from Rangeela 5. guzarish from Ghajini 6. aaona from Kyun Ho Gaya na 7. om jai jagdish - aarti song 8. kondalalo nelakonna Annamayya keerthana 9. main agar kahoon from Om Shanti Om 10. nenani neevani from Telugu movie Kotta Bangaru Lokam 11. jadoo hai nasha hai from Jism

This list is in no particular order. Also, many of you have asked for notations for new songs. Well, my timeline in India stopped in Sept '07. That's when I moved to the US of A. I don't keep myself updated with what's new in bollywood. So, henceforth, I'll add a link: "Request a Song" wherein you ask-I answer :) This would be once I'm done with the above list of songs. Once again, thank you all for those nice words and encouragement!

Ninnu kori varnam

It's a Telugu song for the first time. Something I wanted to try, ever since I started playing the keyboard. A time-less number from the 80's movie Gharshana (Agni Nakshatram in Tamil). The non-Telugu/Tamil speaking visitors, you've got to watch the YouTube video at the bottom of the page. I'm sure you'll love it! Finding the notes itself was a Herculean task. I can't imagine playing this with chords. For it to sound good, I chose the Saturday Night rhythm on Yamaha Keyboard. Prelude: F# D E F# D E B A F# D E F# D F# B A (2) B B B F# F# F# F# A A A A E F# F# F# E E E E D D D D B ninnu kori F# F# F# E D E F# varanam varanam F# E D B D sari sari D E D E kalise nee
