G major is the next step after C major, and it’s one of the most common keys in popular music. It introduces your first black key in a scale, so you’ll start getting comfortable moving beyond the white keys. You’ll learn the G major scale in each hand, then play it up the keyboard across multiple octaves. Along the way, Jonny shares his tricks for playing scales smoothly and evenly.
Next, you’ll learn the chords that belong to the key of G and four chord progressions (chord patterns) that show up in countless songs. Then you’ll put it all together with Jonny’s Lullaby, an easy and fun original tune.
Once you’re comfortable, you’ll learn inversions, which are different ways to play the same chord, and use them to make Jonny’s Lullaby sound smoother. Then you’ll play it along with a bass and drums backing track, so it feels like you’re playing in a band. Finally, you’ll learn simple ways to play chords for someone else to sing or play along to.
