Rikki, this is very basic left hand study, , but it leads to the bigger story.
When you see a --- a C6, Cmaj7, C6/9 Cmaj9, play a C chord.
When you see a --- a Cm6, Cm7, Cm9, Cmmaj7, play a Cm chord.
When you see a --- a C9, C7b9, C7#9, C11, C7b5, C7#5 – and there is more –-- play a C7 chord. In math they call this, reducing it to the lowest denomination. Equals; making it simple to understand.
Key of C Major:
C G7 C --- C-E-G D-F-G-B C-E-G I-V7-C
C F C ---- C-E-G- C-F-A C-E-G
Substitute Dm7 G7 for G7
D-F-A-C (Dm7) D-F-G-B (G7)
Do this until it comes easy. Then do the same for the key of G major, and F major. I am not concerned with the bass line here, just ease of fingering. All the chords are very close to each other.
There are more reasons, but not now. If you can do this easily, we will go to the next step.

The apps however all come with a monthly fee.
Thats the samething Rikki,
They offer. A subscription that offers access to all their lessons..
And 5 songs/month for €10, extra songs cost €2..
There also is a lifelong sub for €200, comes with 40 songs..
It has a huge selection of modern copyrighted songs..
Copyrighted songs is what makes it expensive..
Hi Bachus, My lot currently has a special yearly subscription at $127 USD , (normally more expensive, ) but they give a 90 day money back guarantee . They may have changed structure, not sure, because initially I only signed up for 6 months, just in case I didn’t like it. There again if I didn’t ,I’m guessing I would have gotten my money back. I had checked out a lot of Lisa’s (Pianote ) utube video clips before I signed up. $2 to $3 a week is cheap entertainment. Haha Its definately not expensive But a considerable chunck of money to pay witouth trying first.. So when you are a member, does everything inside come for free.. I am seriously considering this for myself..

Hi John , Thank you for the info. I’ve been working on chord inversions, certainly makes it sound smoother, than jumping from chord to chord in root position.

I am seriously considering this for myself.. Hi Bachus, sorry just spotted post, you don’t pay any extra for the stuff in the online course in Pianote. They did bring out a set of books, but I didn’t bother, as far as I can tell , it’s a hard copy of the stuff in the online course. I just download and print as I go. I’ve also joined up for a month of Willie Miyette’s No Bull Piano course, only in that it’s a bit more Jazz oriented, and I enjoy playing standards. Again helpful for playing from lead sheets , learning how to play simple arrangements and adding to it as one improves. Years back, when I was thinking of taking piano back up , I spent a bit of time checking out his piano with Willie course and found it quite interesting..
