This progression in minor has such a haunting quality. You play I V bVI iv and have an altered V (half whole diminished or whole tone diminished or whole tone or whatever alteration you’d like) you instantly have a billion rock/RnB ballads..

Your voice is like an angel. It fit in every song!, you're not only talented on the piano, but in vocals too!! 👏👏👏

This channel should have gazillion views. They truly make the parts of music that seem to be the most intimidating and difficult the easiest to understand.

Amazing how the V chord creates tension and wanting to go
home and back to the Tonic chord to resolve that tension.
If my old lady was a chord, she would a V chord. Especially her cooking, it creates tension,
it's so bad, I pray after I eat. .
But the Tonic chord, any tonic is way legit coz', like, it relieves all that tension.
I like G Tonic myself, especially after a long day at the office, just to get the edge

Love your lessons, as a beginner it’s so nice to be able to understand how nice just a few chords can sound .
