Knowing something may be a talent or the result of hard work but knowing how to teach something to grasp the attention of the audience and make it understand is a blessing, and always a pleasure to watch.
Best music teachers on YT: David Bennett - Piano and theory. Ian Stitch - Guitar and soloing. I have no relationship to either one of them, either financial or otherwise. They are both just really, really good teachers.
You are very special. Your style of teaching is so simple, yet very effective. You could easily make this so much more complicated, but you explain it so elequently, that complex concepts actually make sense. One off humble genius😊
I disagree. I was screaming at the screen for the guy to finish the progression at every level. I found it very frustrating that he didn't complete the progression at first, let everyone hear it a few times, and then talk about it. To play only bits before giving a lecture, drove me nuts and I wasn't able to concentrate.
That's a clean and clear explanation on transiting between chords and making it colorful. Will be great if we have more levels on this with respect to the passing chords and special chords. Great Work Buddy
i mean if the root note is black note, how could you represent it in Romanian scale? Like, all the white notes are numbered from 1 to 7. What about the black notes? @@Persun_McPersonson
This is a good conversation! Please be aware that the merits of this conversation COULD be lost on beginners and those who are less experienced...which seems to be his target audience. Just an observation. 🙏🏾
Indeed. Shows the power of a bassist to influence the entire harmonic direction of a song. For good when tastefully done, terrible when we screw up since we take the whole ensemble with us lol
I have played a lot of Flash games in me younger days, and Red Ball 2 had a particular track that used this chord progression. Turns out it's called "It's Reggae You Know" and I just love it.
David, I love your stuff and have already learned a lot from you. It was a great surprise to see that you8 are one of the Pianote instructors! I have been with Drumeo for 3 yrs and since they combined Drumeo, Guirareo, Singio and Pianote all thogether, I have access to Pianote so I will be checking our your courses. This lesson is great, showing how to take the same chords and by small tweaks, spicing them up and actually changing to whole flavor and feel. Thanks David for another great video.
The inverted pedal point immediately brought to mind the Johnny Cash version of The Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt"... the G note rings out over the vi-IV-I-V (Am-F-C-G) in the chorus creating much the effect shown here albeit with the progression rearranged.
This was really educational. I'm going to try to incoporate this into my daily jam sessions. I hope my family notices the improvement in sound. Explaining the suspense, and relief was such a brilliant way of putting it. Thank you young man.
Had just watched a video where tension was mentioned. Was kinda lost, thinking "Here comes another thing I never got to learn, and now, I've got to go figure out what it means and how to apply it😢". Buh with this video, I've gotten a huge leap...lemme not even talk about how I've been using inversions for convenience not knowing any principle behind it, only for this video to clear things up. Man, as a self-taught pianist this video is priceless. Just saved me months of trial and error... Thanks David......Thanks Pianote.
This was more helpful for me than I expected! I already understood the concepts, but gained some deeper understanding of some aspects. Thank you, Musora and David for joining forces in this collaboration! I really have benefited from the two videos I've watched so far!
Hey brother, this is actually really helpful and well-explained. Also didn’t add too much salesy stuff is nice. Clear examples, not jumping instantly to complicated chords, etc. Great job!
This video was extremely helpful to me. Thank you for presenting the content in such a clear (and beautifully played!) way, and never getting unnecessarily complicated. What though-provoking ideas I will now go apply to things I have been playing for years. Many, many thanks.
Guitarist here! Love David's work - so clear. For a I V vi IV, i love an inverted pedal but using the leading note, so we'd get: Cmaj7 - G - Am9 - Fmaj7add#11 (maybe resolving to F 😉)
Man i m trying to play my old organ time to time for ages. I watch some videos on youtube and try to play them. But i found out that i have not passion for this because it comes for me as imitating something with nonsense. I ve watched your video and understood the logic behind the notes and playing piano. Just a month passed after seen your video and i made a real progress on playing piano. Thank you very very much
Big up the big DBP 🧑 🎹 always great to see David guesting on other channels! Love this emphasis on the harmonic ways to make your 1 5 6 4 unique, but don't forget rhythmic changes too! One chord per bar will sound wildly different to one chord per beat, will sound different to playing with triplets or a different time signature etc.
Level 6, add E7 instead of G# diminished. Nothing more, nothing less, just a fancy secondary dominant. Level 7, do the same, but put G# in the bass, so E7/G# to Am. Level 8, add the note D to the first C chord to get Cadd9, add the note A insted of B in your right hand as you play the G/B chord to get Gadd9/B then E7/G# to Am11(add D to your Am7) to finally end up on F6/G (add D to your F major chord) I could go on and on...
David is as always. Informative, quiet and very easy to follow or understand. Well the pause button does help yea, but music theory itself is amazing. Mr. Bennett just helps to get it onto everybody. Great video.
Awesome! Been following David Bennett for a while now. I'm a fan! Just wanted to clarify though: isn't the Fsus2 supposedly an F add 9? coz it still has an A - the third of an F Major - it wasn't suspended into a G - the G was added on to the F major Triad.
Awesome! thanks for the clarity David. I have been following you for a while now. I'm a fan and a student of what you do. Thank you for sharing your expertise man. Blessings.@@DavidBennettPiano
This man is a genius compared to me and an amazing teacher! That said, at 13:13, F C F G A might be better labeled as Fadd9 because it has a major 3rd (the A) kept from the Am7. Still, I learned so much from this video.
Great video! I’d love to see something along similar lines with respect to arpeggiating those chord progressions. Different levels of, or approaches to playing chords one note at a time.
Is there some kind of logic as to why you added the G# dim chord. It's not in the key of C, it seems so random. Could you just add other diminished chords as well? Guess I'll have to try out

so good

It's understandable
the collab I didn't know I needed
😄🙌

thats just who was recommended to you
kinda sus to mention that you dont have something going on with them! I dont buy it fully 😂❤
Seriously, this is the compendium of chord composing techniques! Thanks David for making this a free tutorial! Appreciate it!
You are very special. Your style of teaching is so simple, yet very effective. You could easily make this so much more complicated, but you explain it so elequently, that complex concepts actually make sense. One off humble genius😊

How do you write C# or Bb in Romanian scale?
@@diarbeatz
What exactly are you asking?
i mean if the root note is black note, how could you represent it in Romanian scale? Like, all the white notes are numbered from 1 to 7. What about the black notes?
@@Persun_McPersonson
@@diarbeatzit’s the same for the black notes. It’s all about the scale you’re playing in, which will determine the note numbers.
Great video! The chord he played at 13:14 is an Fadd9 since he is also playing the 3rd of the chord
Why not an add2? Its played at the 2nd and not thé 9th, technicly..
@@gregoirebertho They're basically the same thing, but technically with chord extensions like this it's called the ninth :)
It's just a tradition to call it add9, keeping in mind, that european chords are made with triads (1-3-5-7-9)@@gregoirebertho
Yes but if we say sus2 and not add2, normally it means the third is not played so their is not this tension made by having the major 2nd and the 3rd
This is a good conversation!
Please be aware that the merits of this conversation COULD be lost on beginners and those who are less experienced...which seems to be his target audience.
Just an observation. 🙏🏾
As a bass player, root note one at a time, this has really helped me understand my place in the mix. Thank you!
Yes. Of course. Root note. Who would have guessed? But you must be a bassist, so I assume your just slow on the up-take. JK, BTW.
@@jamespeebles9781 Well aren't you a nice person.
Indeed. Shows the power of a bassist to influence the entire harmonic direction of a song. For good when tastefully done, terrible when we screw up since we take the whole ensemble with us lol
This is an excellent lesson. I am a beginner and it really opens my eyes to writing progressions. Thanks!
This is the best teaching I've ever had when it comes to piano lesson.
Subscribed already ❤️
I check out the guys channel too he always does stuff like this 👍
I have played a lot of Flash games in me younger days, and Red Ball 2 had a particular track that used this chord progression. Turns out it's called "It's Reggae You Know" and I just love it.
The F/G can also be thought of as a G11, functions as a dominant V11, at the end of a verse. The Mowtown sound.
Thank you. Basically in the video it's a F9 chord without the 7th interval.
David is the best. Nice to see him here.
David, I love your stuff and have already learned a lot from you. It was a great surprise to see that you8 are one of the Pianote instructors!

the diminished chord made it sound amazing
Ah yes, barry harris' infamous 6th diminshed
It felt like “variations on Let It Be” for 14 minutes. Good stuff!
thought of it too
The inverted pedal point immediately brought to mind the Johnny Cash version of The Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt"... the G note rings out over the vi-IV-I-V (Am-F-C-G) in the chorus creating much the effect shown here albeit with the progression rearranged.

Thousands of videos trying to explain it, that's the only one that worked for me. Thanks a lot.
Pianote has the best teachers. I love David's way of teaching. How have I not come across his TH-cam channel before now?
Had just watched a video where tension was mentioned. Was kinda lost, thinking "Here comes another thing I never got to learn, and now, I've got to go figure out what it means and how to apply it😢".

Thanks David......Thanks Pianote.
Omg I loved this. Diminished chords are a game changer!
This is by far the best piano instruction video I have ever seen! So well explained
David Bennett is brilliant!!
You're a great teacher David, thanks
- This is explicit and easy to assimilate. Thanks for sharing your gift.

Wonderful, clear lesson. One might even say you're "🎶...speaking words of wisdom, let it be" 😉

You are a wonderful teacher, David. Thank you for another great video.
Inspiring lesson with Intelligible explanation of sus and dim chords roles in progression. Thank you!
Yes! So fun to be able to expand out on chord progressions as understanding and technical prowess increase! :)
David bennet is amazing at explaining this topic!
Very refreshing to see a video that shows how to do something in 5 different levels in which they don't get completely crazy after level 1 haha
This is so good! 💚👍🏼🥳 You are the chord-progression King! 👑 And this sounds ahmazing! 😇😊
Guitarist here! Love David's work - so clear.
For a I V vi IV, i love an inverted pedal but using the leading note, so we'd get: Cmaj7 - G - Am9 - Fmaj7add#11 (maybe resolving to F 😉)
This is much more detailed than it appears. This will be useful.
You are such a great teacher, explaing it in such detail ❤, now I know better and have more confidence to try it out.❤❤😊
Lovely. Everything! The info, the design, the velocity of explanation, great job! Thanks
I’m loving the new ending as well!
Beautiful. Just learnt something easy and great for a beginner 😊
Maaan, this is so surreal, I just felt my tear glands being poked by that G# in the diminished... what a revelation!
Excellent lesson teaching. Please keep it going next time around!
You help me appreciate music. Thank you
Wait. David Bennett and Pianote in one place??? We don’t deserve 😭
i want to help you but TH-cam does not allow me to

Chord progression makes songs sound different 🎉. great video
Superb presentation. Well done. Thank you. Best wishes.
Really helpful
We're very glad to read this!
David is as always. Informative, quiet and very easy to follow or understand.
Well the pause button does help yea, but music theory itself is amazing.
Mr. Bennett just helps to get it onto everybody. Great video.
I needed this❤
Thank you for this theory on a lovely Friday. ❤🎹❤👏👏👏
Thank you for watching! 🎉
Fantastic video. Great work.
Thank you!!😊
Thank you. Great lesson.
Eye opening as usual tnx😅
Thanks for your commitment ❤
Somehow you make it all do-able with practise . About as goood as it gets I reckon .. so, again, a big big thank you !
Amazing video! Thank you so much
Thank you
Real nice. Great ideas and very well explained. Great music teacher.
Brilliantly taught, David. Your manner of teaching is always so clear, concise, and inviting. Thank You.
And this is Let it Be Chords and progression I V VI IV ❤
That's true
Wow
I love your light set up
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!
Thank you!
This was enlightening.
Thanks
wow. it all made sense to me now. kudos
wao i am so glad i came across this video, thanks for this value. i will love to take any course you teach.
This is fire🔥🔥🔥🔥

Yeah you’re correct, the chord is an Fadd9, not Fsus2. That was a mistake made by the editor/transcriber. 😅😊

I love your channel
I really like your videos on modes
Love this
Well illustrated man, thank you
I am convinced to buy your courses!
Very helpful!
Thank you!

This man is a genius compared to me and an amazing teacher! That said, at 13:13, F C F G A might be better labeled as Fadd9 because it has a major 3rd (the A) kept from the Am7. Still, I learned so much from this video.
Looks like somebody watched "Axis of awesome"'s video. Nice video!
Awesome video
1-5-6-4 always remind me of the Axis of Awsome
The best !!!
All clear sir! Great one. Thanks.
Great video! I’d love to see something along similar lines with respect to arpeggiating those chord progressions. Different levels of, or approaches to playing chords one note at a time.
Forever Young...
Im a natural level 3 at first. cuz it sounds good so😂
Is there some kind of logic as to why you added the G# dim chord. It's not in the key of C, it seems so random. Could you just add other diminished chords as well? Guess I'll have to try out
to step between G and Am
Nice one 👍🎹🇳🇿
That's going straight onto the practice list..😀
Let it be🎉
I really Love detailed stuff not just demonstrations, thanks for the good work though.
Useful 👍
