I can have you playing
Chord Piano in
10 days!
You won't be great
in 10 days, but you'll be on your
way.
If you don't learn, you don't pay. It's that
simple. But you will learn.
Dear Friend:
I really can
teach you to play the piano using piano chords & chord symbols such as G7, Dm7, Bb6 and so
forth. And it won't cost you an arm and
a leg, either. And you risk nothing, since my chording method is 100%
guaranteed.
This is not a bogus claim. I've been teaching
people to play the piano using chords for over 25 years, and I know what
works.
At the end of 10 days you'll know enough about
chords and music to play songs on the piano with both hands - without
having to read complicated sheet music -- just the tune and the chord
symbols such as D7, Em, Cm7 and so on. These chord symbols are the magic
key to unlocking the door of exciting piano playing, because once you know
them, you can apply them to THOUSANDS OF SONGS!
Piano playing becomes SO much easier when you know what chord to
play in the left hand while your right hand plays the melody!
Will you be great in 10 days? Of
course not.But you'll be on your way.
Some will go faster, and some will go slower -- what else is new? But
the point is that you will
know chords and you
will
know how to use them in your favorite songs.

Here is what you'll learn in
the 10 day "Chord Piano" course:
1.
You're going to be able to play all 12 major piano chords easily and
quickly. Some of my students can play them in as
little as 3 seconds! (Honest!)
2. You're going to be able to pick out a tune with
your right hand both "by ear" and by reading notes.
(Some people play by ear, and some by sight-reading.
You're going to be able to do both -- and knowing
piano chords speeds up both.)
3. You will be able to play all
minor piano chords,
all diminished piano chords,
and all augmented piano chords, just by
changing each major piano chord slightly. But that's not
all: You will also learn how to form and play
6th
chords,
minor 6th chords,
7th
chords, minor 7th
chords, maj7th
chords (different than "regular" 7th chords), and even
9th
chords! You will be able to do this for the rest of your life
just by reading chord symbols
such as F7, C6, Gm7, and so forth.
4. You will learn to create a chording rhythm pattern
with your left hand,
made out of the piano chords you learn, which you can use on a thousand
different songs the rest of your life. If you like ragtime,
you can use it on The Entertainer, and songs like that. If
you like gospel music, you can use it on Amazing Grace, and
a thousand other hymns or other Christian music (Actually --
any kind of "popular" piano music). If' you like
Country-Western or Contemporary or Pop or whatever, you can
apply this "chording bass" pattern to your favorite songs.
(The only kind of piano music you shouldn't use it on is
classical). You will learn to do this "swing bass" technique in both 3/4 and 4/4 time (and all the
other variations). Then you will learn a left-hand technique
called "arpeggios"
-- where you'll "stretch out" the chord into a beautiful and
full orchestral
sound -- great for ballads,
love songs, certain praise & worship songs, etc.
5. You will learn a wonderful
"harmonizing trick" you can do using piano
chords. It's very easy to do, but adds a "duet effect' to your right
hand melodies. (If you sing, or play another instrument, you
can apply this technique to that as well!)
6. You will learn how to "fill up the empty spaces" in a
song with echoes, fills, and runs -- all made out of
piano chords.
This lesson alone is worth ten times the cost
of the piano lessons, as only the very
top professionals know how to do this. You'll learn
rapid-fire runs, straddles, fills, melodic echoes,
and
cascading waterfall runs!
7. You will learn how to
arrange a song
-- put an intro at the start of it, and an
ending on the caboose. You can then
take a piece of sheet music and play it your way, instead of just playing what's written.
8. You will learn how to
create a fantastic "orchestral pad"
in your left hand part that creates a
"river of sound" for ballads, love songs, Christian music, regular sheet
music and any kind of song needing a "smooth" feel.
By
the way, you will not only learn
how to
do all these things, but you will also understandwhat you're doing!
In other words, I teach music
theory
--
why piano chords work the way they do -- along with the specific skills,
so you won't be doing anything by rote --
you'll
understand exactlywhat
you're doing and why you're doing it!
Whether you take 10 days or ten weeks or ten years is up to you, of course
-- but the piano chord course comes in 10
dynamite piano lessons that will take you
from where you are to where you want to go. You'll start by learning what
music is all about -- the 3 parts of music
-- melody, rhythm, and harmony -- and then your learn to read a
melody line (if you don't already know how). Then you'll learn how piano chords
are formed, and how to get a grasp on all 12
major chords -- and then learn to change them to
minor, diminished, and augmented.
Then after you know 48
piano
chords (12 major chords, 12 minor chords, 12 diminished chords, and 12 augmented
chords), you'll learn to invert them (turn them
upside down) so you'll have 144
chords to work with. But then you'll learn to add extensions to the basic chords
-- 6ths, 7ths, major 7ths, 9ths
-- for those wonderful and exciting sounds that add so much to music. That will
give you....oh, about 1000
piano chord possibilities. Piano lessons were never
this much fun!
But that's when the fun just starts! Once you know piano chords, then you will
learn how to create exciting rhythm patterns using those chords in a variety of ways -- from
"swing bass" to
"western bass" to
"broken chord bass" to..........and each style has
many varieties, so there is really no end to the distinctive styles you can come
up with to create your own sounds using piano chords!

What people are saying
about "Chord Piano"
"I just played your
course on chords and am fascinated with your playing and your
ingenious approach to chords and what an expert can do with chords...and you sound like a nice guy."
Ralph
"Your program has
really
transformed my life--well
maybe not my life--but
certainly my piano
playing." Karen
L. (email July 2 007 -- on file)
"I got your Chord Piano course
and I was finally able to learn chords. For the first time I was
able to learn scales then.
The course was so good it "disappeared" and was not returned."
Yvonne
"Just a note to inform you how delighted I have been with your piano courses. You have a very easy teaching style and you truly make the lesson
easy to understand and what's more, enjoyable and fun!
Thank you --
where have you been all my life?"
Sherry
"After many piano teachers that I studied with as an adult student, your methods provided much
superior instruction and, as a result, a new awareness of accomplishment to me in my pianistic efforts."
Bob (CPA in Seattle)
" I had to let you know how much I appreciate your course in Chord Piano!
You teach in a fun and simple way. I never thought I was smart enough to learn music and how to play the piano. I don't have enough time to practice as often as I would like, but it's nice
learning at my own convenience and going at my own pace.
This is something I've always wanted to do. Thanks a million!"
Jayne
The testimonial below
sounds like a paid ad. I assure you, it is not.
It is from a student named Luis in Portugal.
"This IS the ONLY way to go
for BEGINNERS. Let me repeat this: This IS the
ONLY way to go for beginners. Put this in your head, because
I've tried all the courses you can imagine with no success.
Why? Because they DON'T teach you to UNDERSTAND what you're
playing! The result is: at a certain point (a little bit more
advanced point) you simply CAN'T play the song(s) because you
have no idea of what you're doing and the Chords, Slash Chords,
inversions, etc, become too much and you simply have to STOP and
forget piano, because you can't go any further. You HAVE TO KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE PLAYING and sometimes READ IT (from very simple
"fake" lead sheets that Duane teaches you how to read). Its the
only way. Do not repeat my mistake.
If you want to play piano by ear using Chords (wich is very
powerful) here's the advice of someone that tried everything:
You HAVE to do this course
first. When you master this, then go ahead and choose
whatever course you like (whatever you wish - theres alot
of stuff out there). BUT only Duane can get you started.
Period. From this moment, its your choice to
choose what course or teacher you want, or stay with Duane for
the more advanced courses wich can last 1 to 3 years if you want
to become a great piano player. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED."

so wonderful! I took lessons
as a child and have bought so many methods to try and relearn

that actually makes me feel I am progressing.
Thanks!" Barbara F.
