I wish I had found lessons like yours thirty years ago. I would have saved me a lot of useless detours! 
It's late but not too late! I am a guitarist.

Awesome video !!
Just saw your channel on recommended :).
Good teaching !!

This lesson is enough for anybody player if applied correctly.
Knowing both major and minor chords and scales, over the entire piano, in all keys will make learning advanced piano pretty easy.
Taking thirds and adding a chromatic note in the beginnings is an awesome tip !!
You can do the same thing with fourths and fifths as well :).
Thanks for sharing!
