Bro, thanks so much! You’re the first online piano teacher I’ve connected with. It just makes sense the way you explain and demo things! You’re appreciated 🧡

[bomark]

I have never understood 5ths or 7th chords until you explained it this way, why does no one teach it like this? Awesome Bruh 😎

I haven’t commented here before, but I just started watching your videos and you’re really good at explaining and revisited concepts so they stick in your head. I started with your first video and now its my goal to watch every single one up to the present!

I gave up on musiv theory, became a music producer for almost 4 years, saw this video, and now I'm back trying to learn it all. This video taught me what I was unable to learn for 4 years. Thank you so much, for making this video. Will definetely be watching more of your videos! 🎹

good to meet you . I don't have much money. But I will try to do what I can in any project. Music related or not that you have.

I can identify the chord structure and know the basic theory but now the difficult part is to do that comfortably without thinking too much
