Literally the only video you need to get into the basics of music theory!! Everything I've seen so far has either been super long and/or didn't have the quality to explain something in a simple way that a rookie can actually understand.

[CreatorDrews]

Animations and explanation was on point!!

[trevorshawver]

[angelodatruth]

Ngl this was the most comprehensive and easiest to understand video i've seen on music theory, im glad i subbed 🔥

As much as I despise having to write it out and read music on manuscript, I love this stuff. One thing I’ve always wanted to learn is a good way for my short stubby hands to be able to play the keys. I played the trumpet during some of my adolescent years but as I got older, I gravitated towards producing. Unfortunately, I can’t play piano but I constantly use what I learned in music theory from my senior year of high school to craft my work.

Incredible stuff. Please make this a series. I’ve been learning theory for months and have encountered all of this in one form or another but have seen enough to know you really know how to tie it together. Would love to see what you would cover on theory next.
