I noticed that on the "Table Of Contents", there is not hyperlink for "The Minus-One Chord". I have fixed that. On "Changing The Bass Notes (part 3)" page, the link is there though. Anyway, in case you can't find the page, you can click on this link here: http://pianocheats.com/pianocheats/?p=32 Minus-1 is in conventional therm an 11th chord, I think. :) That is, a "minus-1" in a C key would actually be C11 (that is only if C11 means anything to you).

I don't think it was explained anywhere in the page when you introduced the term 'minus'. Hi Les,

Could you explain what a ‘minus I‘ is supposed to mean ? I don’t think it was explained anywhere in the page when you introduced the term ‘minus’.

Haha! Yes, I have taught some friends, just for fun really. I have no student at the moment. I started sharing on the net because I feel that I could simplify piano-playing quite a bit, especially for adult learners. I find what we usually learn through the conventional classes are not very helpful for those who just want to learn quickly to play and sing along, like the way they can with a guitar. Regarding minus-1, I don't know of any place where it can be used yet. But that's only according to my limited experience. If you discover a nice place to use it, please let me know! Concerning your question: "..unconventional thinking that lets us play in a practical way?..", I have posted a few videos lately that greatly simplify the playing of certain songs. I'm not sure if that answer your questions. But please check them out on my blog. The examples are: "I Could Sing Of Your Love Forever", "Amazing Grace", and Marie Digby's "Stupid For You". p/s Sorry for the late reply.
