How to Play Piano Runs and Fills in a Basic Chord Progression
This video is a simple chord progression using rhythmic runs or little variations at the end of the bar of each chord. If you know the chords and inversions well, you will be able to play a lot of variations and fills to give it a richer feeling and a sense of syncopation to the progression.
These fills in each chord can be made up with the notes that belong to each chord in any inversion, or with the notes that are part of the chord and with others that are not. Although, these notes must be part of the scale of the progression that is being played.
For example, in the chord E we can play notes like B, G#, F#, and D. Even though F# and D are not notes within the chord, they still belong to the scale that we are playing and they will sound good.
The important thing to know here about inversions and scales is that knowing scales does not necessarily mean that you will only be using them to play fast solos, but that they can be used for many other things.

Learn How to Play a Piano Chord Progression with Specific Inversions in the Key of C (2)
This exercise is a chord progression in the key of C, it is quite simple but is good for those that are just beginning to learn chords and inversions.
The chord progression is:
| C | F | Dm | G ||
This progression should be played twice.
The first time will be played as such:
C root position
F 2 inversion
Dm root position
G 2 inversion
We will play it the second time in this order:
C 2 inversion
F root position
Dm 1 inversion
G root position
The right hand will be playing the complete chords for 4 counts and the left hand will be playing just the root note of each chord.
Remember that chords that are played should be close to one another, they should all be played on the same zone or area of the keyboard. For example, the first time that it is played, to get from the C chord in the root position to the F chord in the 2 inversion, just move fingers 3 and 5 (notes E and G). The first finger will play the C note and will stay in this place while the other two fingers will play the notes F and A.
When numbering the fingers we start on the thumb on both the right and the left hand. The thumbs are finger 1, the index fingers are finger 2, the middle fingers are finger 3, the ring fingers are finger 4 and the pinky fingers are finger 5.
You can find all of the diagrams of the chords in all of their positions and inversions in our free ebook of chords and inversions. Just enter your name and email address on the right sidebar to download this ebook instantly.
