Free Quiz to see if you are qualified to play chord piano.

In case you are wondering...

"Can I REALLY learn to play "Chord Piano"?

Qualification #1:  Raise your left hand about waist  high, and swing it back and forth -- left and right.  Left hand playing music

Can you do that?

Qualification #2: Now look down and see if you have at least 3 fingers on your left hand.  Got 'em?   Fingers
 

Qualification #3:  Now the hard part: Look at your right hand and call your thumb "number one". Right hand playing music

  • If your thumb is #1, what number is your index finger?

    Your middle finger?
    Your ring finger? Your little finger?
     

  • Were your answers #2, #3, #4, and #5? If so, guess what?

Dear Friend:

     I'm not kidding.

     I really will teach you to play "chord piano" within the next ten days with both hands, or it won't cost you a single cent. Piano chords will revolutionize your piano playing, and you'll LOVE playing with them!  Chords such as Dm7, Bb6, Dm9 -- and many more.

      I've been teaching piano lessons here in the Rogue River Valley of Oregon for over 20 years, and my Keyboard Workshop is known not only locally, but all around the world. If I couldn't do what I say I can do, I wouldn't still be around. But I'll leave that entirely up to you. If you don't learn to play "chord-style" piano in ten days, just send the course back to me and I'll give you an immediate refund -- no questions asked. I mean it. It's that good.

     Here's what you're going to be able to play 10 days from the time you receive your piano lesson course in Chord Piano:

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.

     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 understand what 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 exactly what you're doing and why you're doing it!

     The heart of the course is a big, 8 1/2" by 11" book with scores of illustrations so you can see everything and how it all works. Then along with the book I'll send you three bonus charts -- a " Visualized Piano Chord Chart" that shows  the 96 different piano chords I teach in the course, a " Magic Keyboard Chart" that slips behind the keys on your piano and guides you to the correct notes, and a " Major Piano Chords Locator" that lets you double-check your major chords to make sure they are right. The course comes in DVD video as well as in audio CD, so you get both. Get your enrollment in today, while you're thinking about it! Order right now!

Cordially,

Duane

"Your lesson number 3 is invaluable, worth the price of the course. It finally looks like,
     after all these years, I'm really going to learn to play the 88 toothed monster."  Kevin Barnes

"This course is so wonderful!  I took lessons as a child and have bought so many methods to try and relearn
as an adult.  This is the only thing that actually makes me feel I am progressing.  Thanks!"  Barbara F.

"I'm feel like I'm making breakthroughs in rapid succession. Your stuff is especially good." Steve D.

"Your program is TOP notch. I am a retired concert artist (Organist) from the Wurlitzer  Company." Dan W.

 

"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.
