Example of songs that use these 4 chords: https://youtu.be/5pidokakU4I
In this beginner lesson, we look at a very common chord progression which uses four chords. These 4 chords are used in hundreds of songs!
In the key of C the chords are as follows: C, G, Am, F
Practice playing around with these chords to get them under your fingers. You should use different inversions and voicings around the piano.
Once you are comfortable with the chords, you can add some timing and rhythm. Start by playing each chord and count 4 beats for each one. Then you can begin adding in different patterns such as split chords and arpeggios.
Once you can do all of this, you can either sing the melody of songs over the top or work the melody out by ear, and play it in your right hand whilst playing the chords in your left.
