Thank you for this straightforward but not over-simplified introduction to Figured Bass.

I had such a hard time understanding figured bass for some reason, but your explanations are by far the best. This series is literally a high quality university course uploaded for free. Thank you so much Mr. Monahan!

I appreciate this instruction because you're combing the book learning portion of figured bass with actual music. I found it easy to understand and awesome! Thank you very much.

Wow, you are a great teacher. This is just the video series I have been looking for. Thanks Seth!

40 years since I studied figured bass! This was very helpful indeed. You said several things I wish someone had said to me when I was in college, like “This is a performance instruction as opposed to an analysis”. Thanks!

Very clear explanation, even for non-musicians (at least the first 10 minutes).

This is so great Seth! I've read about Figured Bass in two different textbooks and various online sources and was still pretty confused by it. This simple video with examples made it so much clearer. While it's not as straightforward to our modern brains as roman numerals or chord names on a lead sheet, I'd have to say I appreciate understanding Figured Bass because it really makes you think about harmonic development in a different way, and even makes the concepts of voice leading and counterpoint more clear. Anyway thanks again, I look forward to watching your entire series!

Thank you for the excellent content! This was the most thorough video explanation I've seen for figured bass. Also, your visual and vocal explanations were cristal-clear and supremely concise. Very well constructed overall!

6:20 I've watched several videos on figured bass. This is the first one that makes cler that WHERE the notes are played is performer's choice. All the others conflate the notes to be played and inversions. Good job.

Much better lessons taught than the RCM course I am taking now…which I need to pay 500 bucks..Appreciate the efforts!

Very clear, thanks. I'm new to figured bass and this video dispenses with convoluted references to chord inversions and explains the topic clearly in a nutshell !

Absolutely. I want to know how Bach approached writing music. His counterpoint is so inventive, cohesive, and comprehensive. He's working with the same seven notes in a scale that we are, but he does things that blow my mind. Like 'how the Hell did he think of that?'

It's extremely upsetting this was explained much better from a 20 minute YouTube video rather than my half a grand music theory course in college. Thank you very much for the resources!
