3 Essential Arpeggios 🎹✨ (Beginner Piano Lesson)

arpeggios are essential because they're going to help you to build the perfect left-handed accompaniment to your favorite songs and they're also going to help you to limb wrap your fingers get really confident all across the keyboard and sound like a pro so in this video we're going to learn three essential arpeggio patterns together all right our first pattern shows up everywhere in pop music Hallelujah perfect Can't Help Falling in Love Unchained Melody it's so useful so what we're going to do is I want you to take your right hand place your one finger or your thumb on G we're going to skip with our two finger up to B our third finger up to D and then we're gonna play G on top so basically what we're doing is we're playing the one the three and the five of the chord that we're on so we can roll through this g b d g and then right back down so get used to that movement for a moment it's really important that you're allowing your wrist to rotate a little bit you're not trying to stay stiff and stuck nice curve in your fingers nice rotation almost like a leading movement here with your elbow so that's how the pattern is going to work but we're gonna move it through a chord progression so we're going to be playing through this arpeggio on a G chord an E minor chord c chord and a d chord and no that's not normally how I would play an arpeggio those fingers but because this is the fingering for this pattern that's going to set me up for Success so let's see if we can do this together we're going to play g b d g d b and then your whole hand is going to move you're not going to play this bottom G again you're going to use that moment played the next starting notes now we're going to be playing e g and B after the G you're going to get ready you're going to Target C e g c get ready for the d d f sharp a okay so let's roll through that again together G down to e this is an E minor chord and then we'll get ready to Pivot down to C and then we'll move up to D now I'm going to keep this going and I'm going to add in my left hand so you can do this too if you feel ready left is five three two one same notes down to e and this takes some practice so don't worry if you don't get this right away it's a great thing to add to your daily practice routine so versatile one more time here's G E minor down to C and then up one step to D [Music] and he did it all right shake out those fingers you did Super well now we're gonna be working on a pattern I know your ears will know and this one is based off of broken Triads because an arpeggio is simply a broken chord or a series of notes played individually so it doesn't have to be your traditional classical arpeggio practice you can create arpeggio patterns out of basically anything so I'm going to show you the pattern and then I'll walk you through it so let me know when you recognize this song right it's iconic [Music] so how do we do this here we go this first shape is actually based off of an E flat chord but we're playing it in this order so we've got E flat flat and G then we come back up to the E flat B flat G and then E flat B flat so you can also think about it this way if this is the shape that you're working from you can think top middle bottom top middle bottom top middle one more time and then you're going to move your shape so now we're going to be playing d flat B flat and F but we're playing it in a different order so we've got d flat B flat F and the pattern is the same so we'll repeat that again so we've got d flat B flat F [Music] so same order top middle bottom top middle bottom top middle now we're going to move our chord shape one more time to here this is a root position F minor chord and we're going to use the exact same pattern top middle bottom top middle bottom top middle okay so when we add just one note at a time with our left hand this is going to sound just like clocks so watch this first I'm going to be playing an E flat with my left hand so just play E flat right here get your hand ready to go thank you [Music] now we're going to move to B-flat and we're going to repeat that we're going to go to F minor one more time B flat again and then F minor so pretty now if you're like ah what are these chords how are you building them don't worry we've got you covered with our chords and skills book so if you want to check that out it's super easy just you can flip through it find the chords you want to play and it'll give you a picture of how they look link for that is below this video okay so now what I want to do is I just want to show you how you can apply that anywhere so that pattern works for any chord progression if you were to play G to E minor you could do the same thing top middle bottom top middle bottom top middle there's a c chord sounds way different than it does for clocks but you get the idea now you have this essential pattern you can apply it to any cord that you'd like all right our third pattern oh this one may be the prettiest one is based off of one of the arpeggio patterns I use most frequently when I'm accompanying myself so the really basic version of this uses the root the fifth and the root of whatever chord you're on so if I'm playing an E minor chord I would build this pattern using the bottom note the fifth and then I would put that root on the top again so you could just play like um foreign super pretty you can literally apply this to any pop song any improvisation anything you can also Rock back and forth on the top two notes here [Music] so pretty so all I'm doing here is I'm playing E minor and I'm using root fifth root fifth root fifth root fifth then I'm using a d chord I'm just using the root and the fifth and then I'm going to a I'm doing the same thing and you can just play your cords in your right hand one more time here's E minor here's d it's just an inversion of D and then here's a okay so that's it in its most basic form but I really wanted to show you guys something extra special and extra beautiful in this lesson so I'm gonna do something a little bit crazy I'm going to apply it for you first and then I'll explain how it works and it's based off of this concept so it sounds like this foreign okay so you can play this by playing b e and B and you're just moving your hand back and forth on that pattern and then you're going to shift b and d and d it's just a little shift and you really have to rotate in your wrist so you don't get sore then we're going to move to F sharp D and F sharp and then we're going to move to a d and a and our left hand is going to play first we're gonna play an E three four then we're going to move to B we're gonna move to F sharp and then we're going to move to D so what I did is I took just a couple of notes and created a pattern out of them and these notes were taken from the chords I was playing in this example I used a chord progression that uses E minor B minor D over F sharp which simply means that my left my right hand place a d chord and my left hand is going to highlight that F sharp which is part of the D chord and then a d with d in the bottom that's my chord progression and then instead of playing all of the notes I selected two notes to highlight in each of these patterns from the chord so instead of starting my pattern on E which is the root note of the E minor chord I was like let's try highlighting the B of this E minor chord and I'm going to play Just B and E and it creates this really open Sound now for the B minor chord I chose to let go of this F sharp and highlight the B and the D so all I'm playing is B D and B for the d slash F sharp chord I'm choosing to highlight F sharp and D so I got rid of the a and for the D chord I'm choosing to highlight A and D so I got rid of that F sharp again so it's like the chords are the same but you're sort of tricking your ear to hear them differently and it's really cool because people are often surprised it's a surprising sound it's not the norm so it creates interest it creates Beauty it can create intensity and it's a really fun concept to explore so I think the point I'm trying to make is when you're creating your own arpeggio patterns feel free to take risks you can start with just a simple root Fifth and root but then get curious about what your options are within that chord so if I have d f sharp and a maybe I just want to use these guys it's just a different sound it's so pretty so I hope these patterns have inspired you I would love to hear which one is your favorite so comment below and let me know um and if you need any help or extra guidance practicing these we do have a really great practice tool inside the piano members area that will allow you to kind of Step by Step you'll see the notation it'll be great and you can access that for free with the seven day trial linked below this video so I hope to see you in the members area and happy practicing
