Note I already know and understand thoroughly the basic/ major ideas in chord piano and I can already play in a few keys fluently.
What I want to learn?
-Learn to arrange chords like popular music / RAP/ RNB/ POP/ SOCA
-Learn to fluently play contemporary chord piano
-Learn Theory and chord voicings on making chords sound good.
-All 15 maj and min scales. ( Obviously can't learn all within the scope of this but its a start)
How do I learn this?
Do this for each Key.
Phase 1
-Practice Practice Practice
-Spend Time Just Playing around with the chords, with different inversions and voicings.
Pick A scale.
Learn the 1, 4, 5
Learn the 2,3,6
Learn the 7
Know them and be able to call the notes immediately in the chord on prompting. up to 7ths
Phase 2
Once fairly comfortable use the progression tool thingy and practice some suggested progressions
First 3 days
Phase 3 (Next 4 days)
-Find and learn at least a song in selected key. Learn said songs fluently and play them into reason.
- Produce beat in key
Note to self
" It's not rocket science, it just takes time"
The best producers put 6+ hours in a day. Follow suit. Anything less is slipping.
Wake up -> Practice. Deal with the rest later.
I'm currently aiming for roughly a key a week. I'm hoping I can improve that as I go along and will start clicking faster but for now idk.
