See, I don't play piano, but this man makes me want to spend every day practicing it

[Topcatyo.]

After every one of your videos I look at my piano and say "See?! Why can't we be like THEM?!"

[monkeymoose]

This feels exactly like Japanese video game music. Absolutely love it

[doodoo]

What i like about these videos is that as a self taught beginner in music, these videos always are like "remember that one thing you did you were never able to replicate? Thats what it was"

Not just in jazz/popular music- in Baroque and Renaissance music you can find the “Lament” bassline, which is a form of the descending bassline line cliche; a mostly chromatic descending baseline with different chords harmonized above it. My favorite example would be the air “When I Am Laid In Earth” or “Dido’s Lament” from Henry Purcell’s opera, Dido and Aeneas! Really cool lament bassline with very interesting harmonization choices.

This is what plays at the end of a story where it flashes the character's experiences so far, and the ends with them walking into the sunset. It's that beautiful.

Oh my gosh, I've HEARD the line cliche before and it was so beautiful and I wanted to replicate it SO badly but I didn't know what it was called and it was driving me CRAZY but thanks to you, I FINALLY know what it's called and how to play it and oh my goodness, thank you so much for this video!!!

Something I found interesting is that if you use a line cliché, or lower the root note of a diminished seventh chord, you get a dominant chord. I use diminished sevenths this way a lot to build perfect cadences.

There’s my two cents.

i really love your videos, man. wish i had someone like you to watch back in middle school, might not have quit playing if that was the case lol.

After 12 years of piano playing experience and as a pianist myself, I love this method. It helps every time and is totally worth practicing.

0:13 "Am I the only one who remembered the soundtrack of the water levels from the old Super Mario games?"

[abuzzedwhaler]

YES!!!! THE CHROMATIC DESCENT FROM THE ROOT OF THE vi
Dude, you get it. Lines cliche + secondary dominants + mario cadencemario cadence + throw in a iv minor == most goated harmonic vocabulary

[SiriuX]

this video is an absolute life saver; i have heard this kind of chord progression so many times in so many different songs and i have tried so hard to find some kind of musical term for it

thank you

[okeoni]

The amount of confused joy I received from this is unreal

[krisgardner]

Wow, this definitely sounds like something I'd hear from super mario

[D-Shad]

Anytime a line cliche is added somewhere in a song, it just feels more soulful.

[beginneratstuff]

I keep coming back to this video to appreciate how satisfying the melody you wrote is. It's just so good. I really want to analyze this

[jaretanderson]

Gonna be honest, every time I see one of your uploads I forget why I subscribed (I don't play piano). Then by the end my jaw is on the floor from the melodies you construct and I am very glad that I subscribed

[grantos]

This is probably my new favourite video. You can just feel the happiness come through the screen.

[GraveUypo]

really useful stuff for the music illiterate pianist such as myself. i do everything by heart so having a basis on a tip like this helps a lot
