It's like someone has just turned on a light, what a fantastic lesson. 😄

This is the best inversion explanation I have ever seen! It really allows me to find inversions incredibly fast as a beginner. Brilliant ... Thank you so much!

Pachelbel's Canon in D major.
This progression or parts of it are found all over the place. Let It Be by the Beatles, the old Burger King jingle, and lots more. I'm a bass player with 50 years of experience. We need to know all the chords in every key and every invasion everywhere on our instruments. We need to understand what each chord has in common with every other. If one is doing a walking bass line in Ab and there is an E dom 7 coming up, we need to know where we can enter that chord smoothly, often by a half step Sometimes we jump boldly into it and let the sudden change have a startling effect. We can't be stumped for a note. It takes a lot of practice.

I've spent years trying to feel comfortable playing chords and working out chord progressions and you've just done it in a few minutes. I could cry.

You are excellent at explaining concepts in a straightforward way. And the visuals are so helpful!

This is very helpful! My piano instructor comes from an american gospel tradition and he calls this "getting it in the hands." I struggle with learning the theory becasue it is abstract and I'm very glad you talk about muscle memory. THank you!

Probably the best inversions video I've seen so far. 1000x thank you!!

[ebolds]

This way of moving between chords is super helpful and clarifying.👍🏽

An engineer might call this "applied pattern recognition". Those are just words, though. Your emphasis on teaching your fingers to "feel" patterns is a key insight. Excellent message, well taught, with just the right illustrations. Subscribed.

I believe that's the Pachelbel Progression. I know that one since my neighbour who plays cello was sobbing hysterically when it played.

[shitzhu]

In a previous lesson you stressed the importance of planning your practice with a notebook listing aims and goals. I did and it made a real differnce giving purose ro my practice. Thanksalot.

[enzoincredibile]

Excellent ! Thank you from Austria 👍🎵🎶

[ozoqgcv]

[michellesickinger]

You are the most brilliant instructor on YouTube!👍

[gryprrs]

By far the best education in piano I’ve come across! I won’t be searching any more!

[With-one-wing]

I understand it in my mind now. Thank you! Now I just have to put that into practice with my fingers. Very good!

[irmadlm]

Amazed!!! 😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Congratulations on your musical wisdom display!!!😊

[jimmyponds]

I found your channel today and so glad I did! You "hit the nail on the head" about KNOWING the inversions and then putting them into practice!! This is my major personal problem, that is. In all my sporadic added-together years of music/piano lessons, I wish I had stayed with my lessons long enough to have been instructed in chords, their structures, chord progressions, and the list goes on and on! ha Thanks!

[peterbaker]

Extremely helpful lesson ... many thanks!

[durhamgrigg]

Fabulous!!! Serendipitous. Enlightening. Liberating. Exhilarating!!! Checking out your website and course. I am still an active lawyer at 67yo - but have a beautiful Concert Yamaha Grand Piano (‘Ludwig’) who I feel devastated has spent years quietly hoping I would sit down and play with him and make wonderful music together once more!!! Thank you.
