This book is a compilation of the most important charts and lessons to help you learn to play piano the easy way. For decades, people have been playing the piano by chords and ear. The truth is, you can play tons of pop, rock, country, and songs in many styles with simple chords and patterns. In fact, most of the songs you hear on the radio today are being played by musicians that did not learn or play the piano in the traditional note first method of teaching that is standard in piano lesson programs. It may seem strange, but many of those musicians don't even read notes! It's true. Just the guitar, the piano is often used as an accompanying harmonic instrument. I'm going to take you on a journey to learn to play the piano by chord and ear in easy to play keys. Once you know how to play a few chords, you can play hundreds of songs... way before you ever learn to read music notation. I'm also going to teach you the foundations of music theory as it is used by professional musicians... I'm not talking about reading notes on the staff... I'm talking about understanding the patterns of music theory and how it applies to all music. I'll show you how to master it and use it to play real music that sounds awesome. I have created a new revolutionary method for writing and understanding the rhythm patterns on the piano similar to guitar strumming patterns.

Socialism, was an enticing concept that not only sparked revolutions of nation states but also has become entrenched in modern culture.
