In this very easy piano tutorial for beginners, you will learn how to play the nursery rhyme, Old MacDonald Had A Farm. You will find three video tutorials below. In the first one, you will learn how to play the melody of Old MacDonald Had A Farm with your right hand. This is a great place to start learning. You can then move on to the second video where I include the left hand part as well. Or you can check out the third video which is much slower, to make things easier for the absolute beginner. The notes of this very easy nursery rhyme are included below.
Welcome to another piano tutorial. In this one, you will learn how to play the song, Something Just Like This by The Chainsmokers and Coldplay. There are a few video tutorials to choose from. In the first one, you will learn how to play the melody of the song as well as a two notes at a time and three notes at a time left hand part. If you are new to the piano or you have very small hands, this one may present a challenge with the left hand part. In that case, there is another piano tutorial where the left hand part is played note by note (one at a time). I top this up with a slower piano tutorial to make it easier for you to learn the song. The notes are all listed below.
So this morning, on the spur of the moment, I was about to go live on Facebook to do this very song, What A Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong. Unfortunately, I kept getting a message that my connection was too slow to go live. Since I do not like wasting time, I decided why not hit record nonetheless and upload to Youtube instead. And this is exactly what I did.
Louis Armstrong What A Wonderful World Cover
So here is What A Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong done by yours truly, Mantius Cazaubon without any planning whatsoever, in my own style. It’s not perfect but I hope you enjoy it. In the past, I wouldn’t post videos like this because I wanted everything to be perfect. But I have since given up on this need to be perfect. It kills productivity and cripples you. Music is a vibe and I just want to let this vibe flow out of me without unnecessary judgment. As musicians, we can be too hard on ourselves because we know that it can always be better.
This song was written by Bob Thiele (as “George Douglas”) and George David Weiss. What A Wonderful World was first recorded by Louis Armstrong and released in 1967 as a single, which topped the pop charts in the UK.
Anyway, thanks for watching and listening to my Louis Armstrong What A Wonderful World cover. Have a wonderful one!
“I see trees of green,
red roses too.
I see them bloom,
for me and you.
And I think to myself,
what a wonderful world.”

Alessia Cara Scars To Your Beautiful Slow Easy Piano Tutorial
Here’s a slowed down version of this tutorial.
I hope you enjoyed this Alesia Cara Scars To Your Beautiful easy piano tutorial. Thank you for learning with me, yours truly, Mantius Cazaubon.
I will explain chord inversions to you. You will learn about chords in their root position as well as their first inversion and second inversion. We will also touch on 3rd inversions of seventh chords.
A subscriber on my Piano Keyboard Guide YouTube channel did not understand chord inversions and I started answering their question as a comment. My response was getting a bit lengthy and I decided to turn it into a blog post so that everyone can benefit. This allows me go into greater detail. I trust that you will benefit from this. Be sure to leave me a comment below so I know for sure that you’re with me. 🙂
To form the first or second inversion of a chord all you do is switch the notes around (invert them) and play these notes either higher or lower on your piano. For instance, the notes of the C major chord are C, E and G. In root position, this chord is played with the note, C as the lowest notes, E in the middle, and G as the highest note. Root position of the C major chord is C-E-G.
To form the first inversion of this chord, instead of C being your lowest note, you make it the highest note in the chord. Therefore, E becomes the lowest note, G is in the middle and C is played an octave higher. The C major chord in its first inversion is therefore, E-G-C.
You can invert this chord further and play the notes in the order, G-C-E. This is known as the second inversion of the C major chord. G is the lowest note, C is in the middle and E becomes the highest note.
Chord inversions – C major chord on piano
What’s the point of chord inversions? Inversions help you move smoothly between chords. For instance, let’s say you play a C major chord whose notes are C, E and G, as we have seen. Let’s say you are playing a song and the C major chord is followed by an F major chord. Instead of shifting all your fingers and playing the F major chord in its root position (F-A-C), all you have to do is shift two fingers. All you have to do is leave your finger on the note, C, and play F and A. C-F-A is the second inversion of an F major chord.
Let’s take a look at another example. Let’s say you want to move from a G major chord to a C major chord. Let’s say you’re starting with a G major chord in its root position, G-B-D. Instead of having to move all your fingers and play the C major chord in its root position (C-E-G), all you do is leave your finger on G, and move two fingers, giving you G-C-E. G-C-E is the second inversion of the C major chord.
So a chord can be played with the notes in different orders, depending on the sound you intend to create, or to allow you to smoothly move from chord to chord in a chord progression. In other words, the fact that the notes of the C major chord (for example) are C, E and G, doesn’t mean that the notes are always played with C as the lowest note, E in the middle and G at the top. It can be C-E-G (root position), E-G-C (1st inversion) or G-C-E (2nd inversion).
C major chord inversions
Let’s look at this another way, although it all points to the same thing. A major chord (for instance) is made up of a root, a third and a fifth. For instance in a C major chord, C is the root, E is the third and G is the fifth. In root position, the root is the lowest note. In its 1st inversion, the third is the lowest note. For the 2nd inversion, the 5th is the lowest note.
Any chord can be inverted. The chords we’ve looked at so far have all been major chords, but this can be done with any type of chord, whether minor, augmented, diminished, seventh, and so on. The more notes there are in a chord, the more inversions are possible. For example, the notes of the C dominant 7th chord are C, E, G and Bb. In root position, the notes of Cdom7 are C-E-G-Bb. In its 1st inversion, it’s E-G-Bb-C. In its 2nd inversion, it’s G-Bb-C-E. In its 3rd inversion, it’s Bb-C-E-G.
Here’s an example of a minor chord. The notes of the A minor chord are A, C and E. In root position, play A-C-E. In other words, A should be the lowest note in the chord, C is in the middle and E is your highest note. The 1st inversion of the A minor chord is C-E-A. The 2nd inversion of the A minor chord is E-A-C.
Root position means that you start the chord with its root note. The root is the note which corresponds to the letter name of the chord. In root position, the root is the lowest note in a chord.
Practice playing chords in their root position, first and second inversions. Start with major chords then move to minor chords. You can even practice them mentally, when you are away from the piano. After learning major and minor chords, you can move to other types of chords, like augmented, diminished, suspended, and extended chords. I take a look at lots of chords on this page. You can click on the major and minor chords in particular and learn how to play them in root position as well as 1st and 2nd inversions.
I trust that you’ve learned a lot. It was a pleasure explaining chord inversions to you. Please leave me a comment. My name is Mantius Cazaubon. All the best!
