Learn Piano Level 9 - Learn to use Suspended Chords Substitution into Away In A Manger & Slash Chord Trick to Suspended Chords

Sometimes when we listen to musicians playing a musical arrangement, we here an open sound that creates tension that want to resolve quickly to a stable sound, you can be sure that they are suspended chord sounds created by the 4th tone of the chord. The 4th tone of the chord clashes heavily to the chord. So when the musician moves to the 3rd tone quickly, we feel that we have been taken to a wonderful ride.

Here's the Secret: Whenever you play the Suspended Chord, watch your finger to see which finger is playing that 4th tone. If you play it in the Root position, this works best for runs whereby your 3rd finger can quickly resolve to the semi tone right below it to create that peaceful drama.

Playing piano is fun when you watch patterns, watch your handshapes, listen to tones, and think in tone numbers. Never memorize notes which we are trained to do as music note learners.

To play beautiful music, you need to learn to pick up the skills to play by ear and put your heart into the music rather than specific notes.
