S1E25 - Playing Piano as a Beatmaker
Trying to learn the piano for music production from watching YouTube videos that teach you classical piano techniques? Sadly, these videos/techniques don't fully relate to us beatmakers playing the piano.
We need to learn improvisation, as well as how to create catchy loops.
In simple terms, a piano works by having the same 12 notes that repeat (octaves). We then pick a key + scale, which will tell us what notes we're actually allowed to play. Our notes/chords have to have these notes, and you're on your way to improvising!
My course will teach you how to play the piano, as a beatmaker, guaranteed: https://itsgratuitous.com/course/learn-piano-for-beatmakers-and-producers/
