What if you could pop a CD into your home or car stereo and learn everything you needed to know to start playing beautiful chords on the piano?

I'm talking about all the same chords used to play practically every popular song out there! The ones you grew up listening to... the songs you now enjoy... classic holiday tunes... even your kids' favorite songs... and more!

What if you could learn all the chords that make up those songs in just an hour or so? Would you be excited?

Well... You should be!

Let's get right to it!

Here's a detailed overview of what you can expect to learn in my comprehensive "chords" audio series.

Hear & Play Chords 101 Audio Program Overview: "Introduction to Chords"

Step-by-step, you'll learn:

• How to form various types of chords: major, minor, diminished, augmented and the easy theory behind them. DO NOT BE INTIMIDATED. You'll literally laugh when you discover how easy it is to play all of these chords by ear!
   

• The classes of chords and the difference between triads, sevenths, ninths, elevenths, and thirteenths... all broken down in "normal," down-to-earth, language.
   

• One magic formula that creates all the chords you'll ever need to know. All I'll tell you is that it involves two words: Quality & Quantity (and you need both in order to create all chords).
   

• How notes create scales... scales create chords... and chords create progressions. Once you master this simple process, learning songs comes easy... even to a beginner!
   

• How to form any major scale in seconds using my "Why Won't He Wear White When Hot" trick. You won't find this taught anywhere else because it's totally out-of-the-box. These are the tricks students need to bring theoretical, intimidating concepts down to earth... and to stop from boring themselves to death! My courses are full of these creative tricks!
   

• Easy ways to understand intervals (which are merely distances between notes). There are melodic intervals and harmonic intervals and you'll learn both. Simply put, if you can understand freeway signs: "Next exit in 3 miles"... then you can understand intervals!
   

• The secret behind the "number system" and how to use it to learn practically any chord out there. I'll prove it to you with 7 practical examples.
   

• The "interval" approach and how to never mislabel notes and chords again by simply mastering two simple rules that'll stick with you for the rest of your music career.
   

• The difference between generic and specific intervals and why it's important to master both. Hint: One is like the "shape" of the chord while the other is like the "size." You need both to properly describe any chord.
   

• The concept of superimposing one interval over another to create something bigger than the two parts, separately. Forget big words... superimposing simply means to stack one thing on top of another (like one box on top the other). This happens a lot in music!
   

• All the formulas you need to know to play triads (M3 + m3), (m3 + M3), (m3 + m3), (M3 + M3), etc. Each of these give you an entirely different chord and sound!
   

• How to master inversions (root position, first inversion, second inversion, etc.). An inversion is simply a different way to play the same chord and you'll learn just how to do it!
   

• How to use triads in a major scale and how to determine the primary chords of every key. Hint: Once you know the primary chords in a key, they will be the most common chords played in most songs.
   

• And much more.

Audio Lesson Sample Clips From "H&P Chords 101"...

Hear and Play Chords 101 Audio Series is 2 discs and 2 hours long. If you had to pay for 2 hours of piano lessons, you'd pay over $100 with private lessons ranging from $15-$30 or more per half-hour. And most likely, you won't get two professionally-recorded audio discs to listen to on your own. With that said, I've priced this 2-hour audio course at a fair value of $33 --- about the price you'll pay for 30 minutes with a teacher (except in this case, you'll get two hours of training instead). A Special "Introductory" Promotion: If you order now, however, you'll receive 30% off the normal price. To be honest, I'm trying this out as a marketing test to see if this special offer increases the sales of this course (...enough to outweigh charging more for it). So I'm not really sure how long it will last. Special offer price: $33  $24.95. Order H&P Chords 101 Today @ 30% off! (Bundle offer: Get this course and the 102 series below for just $66 $39.95 Click here).   All purchases are protected by our 100%, Unconditional 90-Day Money-Back Guarantee.

The second course in my "chords" audio series takes it a step further. Here's an in-depth look at what H&P 102 has to offer...

Hear & Play Chords 102 Audio Program Overview: "The Power of Seventh Chords"

Step-by-step, you'll learn:

• How to form various types of seventh chords and why they are so important in playing by ear.
   

• Why seventh chords are the foundation of many more extended chords like ninths, elevenths, thirteenths, and altered voicings. Hint: You won't even have to learn the "big" chords once you've mastered a few little tricks with the seventh chord!
   

• The power of the "magic 3rd & 7th" and how manipulating them can help you to instantly play dozens of chords in all twelve keys... very easily!
   

• The concept of "tertian chords" versus "non-tertian" chords and how to form both types. Musicians that understand both kinds play a lot more interesting and unpredictable than those that stick to regular chords. Don't worry about the fancy language. There's nothing to it once you understand it.
   

• The secret behind extended tertian chords and how to enhance your playing with them. This one secret will change the way you look at chords forever.
   

• How to play chords most musicians have never heard of... "secundals," "tone clusters," "quartal chords," "quintal chords" and more! No! I'm not trying to impress you with big words. These are real types of chords used in real songs.
   

• How to play the "minor/major" seventh chord... NOT just separate major seventh chords and minor seventh chords (you'll learn those too)... but THE "minor/major" seventh chord. Most musicians have never heard of this!
   

• Why intervals are so important and how to use them to easily play any major, minor, dominant, diminished, half-diminished, augmented, or altered seventh chord in all 12 keys --- instantly.
   

• The power of tonic chords, super tonic chords, mediant chords, and others... and how they help you to understand how music flows.
   

• Other scale tone degrees like "subdominant," "dominant," "submediant," "leading tone," and how to use them to predict what chords will come next in a song. Don't worry if you've never heard this language before... it's very simple once I break it down for you.
   

• How to determine what chords strongly pull to others. This is the key to effectively learning songs by ear... quickly!
   

• The modern musician's best friend: The "tritone" and how to use it with seventh chords to creatively transform the entire mood of your playing.
   

• How the circle of fifth allows you to play dozens of chord progressions using all of the seventh chords and voicings from this course!
   

• What the "minor-dominant-major" chord progression is and how it's used in at least 60% of popular music! Think of  a song and I guarantee you it's in it!
   

• Various chord progressions like the "2-5-1," "5-1," "1-4," and how major scales help you to understand these progressions in every major key.
   

• How to invert seventh chords four different ways! Hint: There's the root position, first inversion, second inversion, and third inversion... while triad chords only have three inversions.
   

• The best inversions to choose for seventh chords to give them the richest, smoothest sound... especially when connecting from one chord to the next.
   

• How to play seventh chords on each and every tone of the major scale. That means, for all seven unique tones in a scale, there is a major seventh, minor seventh, dominant seventh, or half-diminished seventh chord to correspond to that tone ---- which tells you where to place chords when playing real songs.
   

• How seventh chords relate to the minor scale. Warning: This is rarely taught so you'll be shocked to see what chords correspond to the minor scale and how to use them in more serious-sounding songs.
   

• How to change your left-hand bass note and create a bigger, nicer-sounding chord (like an eleventh or minor thirteenth voicing) by keeping the same seventh chord held down in your right hand!
   

• And much more!

Frequently Asked Questions Click question to show or hide answers   Question #1: Why Audio CDs? Why Not Dvds? First, I believe in both modalities of learning: audio cds and dvds. In fact, I have tons of dvd courses specializing in teaching students how to play piano, organ, keyboard, drums, and even guitar by ear. When learning the "how" and "why" behind things, repetition is very important. The thing is, however, that it's not easy for everyone to be in front of their tv screens all the time so these audio courses were created so that one can learn the "how" and "why" behind scales, chords, progressions, and songs without always having to be stable in one place. You can simply pop a CD into your car... your home stereo, your office player, your portable disc player or ipod and learn on the go... getting the repetition you need to learn effectively. Just imagine... if your trip to work is just 15 minutes each way, that's an extra 30 minutes per day of constant, repetitive learning! If you drive 30 minutes each way, even better! While it's great to be able to "see" things in action, sometimes, it's equally effective for your growth (if not better) to only "hear" things and be able to relate to what you hear without seeing it. The way I look at it, "sight" is more associated with sheet music. It is the "hearing" part that allows you to play by ear --- thus our company name, Hear and Play Music Group. Click here to order our H&P Chords Audio Series Today! Question #2: Can I really learn to play by listening to CDs? Of course you can! Even private teachers are known to record their lessons and offer them to their students for an extra fee (some are gracious enough to do it for free). Now you can have your very own private teacher make some of the most confusing musical concepts plain and simple... like they should be! Not only that, but you'll be taught real-life uses for what you learn --- like how to play actual chords from real songs! And when you're not at the piano, you can still learn on the go! That's the best part about audio courses. You don't have to be in one spot to benefit from them! Plus, they tend to be cheaper than dvd courses because they're easier to produce! Click here to order our H&P Chords Audio Series Today! Question #3: Who is Jermaine Griggs? My name is Jermaine Griggs and I'm the founder of this site. I've been playing piano for majority of my life. I started at the tender age of 7 years old playing for my church's junior youth choir. Some of the things I now teach came naturally to me back then (although I had no idea how to articulate them) and many of the things I've learned over the span of 17 years by literally reading, watching, and studying everything I could get my hands on. The rest has come simply from "school-of-hard-knocks" experience out there in the real world. Personally, that was my best teacher. I'm a graduate of the University of California at Irvine and have had the privilege to work with top professors and colleagues. I've helped lead the gospel choir there as well as many other campuses. My main accomplishments as a teacher have come from this site, HearandPlay.com. Over 41,185 people from over 102 Countries have already relied on me to teach them how to play the piano through my various paid courses. Many of them have since gone on to play in bands, for churches, special events and more.  I currently serve more than 203,750 online members and supply over 1,500,000 visitors (that's ONE AND HALF MILLION PEOPLE) per year with my online piano lessons, newsletters, and more! Thousands of my students now teach beginning piano to their own students! Imagine going from learning piano in a few months to passing on your knowledge to children in your community, church, or even family members!      Since my first day online in August 2000, HearandPlay.com has evolved into a multi-staff music instruction company and our headquarters are in Irvine, CA. Click here to order our H&P Chords Audio Series Today! Question #4: How long is each audio course and what should I expect? Each course (H&P Chords 101 and H&P Chords 102) is approximately 2 hours long. I take you by the hand and walk you, step-by-step, through the process of forming chords and how to use them in real-life situations. I leave nothing to chance and explain everything in-depth. So if you're looking for a course that just flies through stuff (in an attempt to cover a gazillion times more than should be covered), then this course isn't for you. I don't pride myself in confusing people and making them worse-off than they were before they invested in my course. However, if you're looking for a course that really spoon-feeds you the information and leaves absolutely nothing out, then H&P Chords 101 and H&P Chords 102 audio courses are definitely for you. Click here to order our H&P Chords Audio Series Today! Question #5: What if I don't like it? Can I return it? While most companies don't offer a return policy on such items (audios, videos, dvds, software, etc.), we stand behind our courses 100%. If our courses don't deliver exactly what you expected, you can return them within 90 days --- no questions asked. It's that simple and we honor all returns. We only hold a 3% return rate for our other products. We hope for the return rate of this audio series to be no more than 1% compared to the industry standard of 15%. That is why we spend so much time laying out every single detail of our courses online. We want to make sure that you understand every aspect of our products before purchasing them.
