hi guys
I am currently learning the piano, currently my practice looks like this;
1) Practice all progressions from chart attached to this thread, 5 times
2) Practice / Go through all major inversions, 3 times
3) Practice / Go through all minor inversions, 3 times
4) Practice all progressions from chart with 3rd inversion ( i like neo soul type chords in my production ) 1 time
5) Pick a song from youtube or wherever and try to work out chords by ear
This is pretty much my daily routine for practice, I do not have money for lessons, I am trying to go off a lot of different sources on the internet.
My aim is become a better producer and to do that i need to understand more theory and develop my understanding for the 'rules' of music, by that I mean to have some form of structure when I want to develop an idea, before i have sat at the piano for hours singing this hook line that I cant seem to get to fit which can be very frustrating.
My question I guess is for anyone out there reading this, any exercises or sources of info that you would recommend, i have a great opportunity to further my understanding and ability on the piano and i want to make sure that i maximise this time.
I never wanted to be a traditional player in the sense of reading music and all that, I more so want to develop a really good ear and understanding for chords and song structure.
Thanks for reading this, sorry if its in the wrong forum.
