TMM #012 - Big Sounds, Minimal Movement: 3 Powerchord Hacks for Pianists

Imagine sitting down at your piano, hands ready, and without even moving your hand much, you’re suddenly producing rich, powerful sounds that make you feel like a pro.

In today’s video, I’ll show you three simple yet effective techniques to accomplish this:

1. Start with a power chord based on 2nd Inversion: This gives your chord a strong foundation.

2. Outline the Chord Using the power chord as Your Base: Build around it to add depth.

3. Play Multiple Notes with Your Thumb: A slight adjustment can create fascinating voicings.

Watch the video to see these techniques in action, and start adding these power chords to your playing today!
