Your first song by ear, in seven days — any song you want, by chords.

Stop learning songs one tutorial at a time

In this free seven-day series, I'll show you the "Piano Like a Guitarist" approach: how pop-piano players use chords, patterns, shapes, and rhythm to create the sound behind artists like Elton, Billy, Alicia, Stevie, Jamie and more.

You'll learn

• why copying tutorials song-by-song keeps you dependent
• how to start hearing songs as chords, patterns, and progressions
• the simple shift that lets piano feel more like a language than a set of instructions
• how this approach becomes the foundation for playing by ear, accompanying yourself, and understanding the songs you love

The seven days

1. Piano Like a Guitarist — what Pop-Piano is. Pick your song, find its chords.

3. Building chords — and bass.
4. Rhythm 101.
5. Patterns — music's pronunciation.
6. Practice day: your song, start to finish.
