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.

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.

@dannygibor 6 місяців тому

This is a very good explanation of chord progressions and the logic in choosing the right inversion of chords to create a smoother and more harmonic music. The reason it sounds better than just playing the basic chords is due to the vertical and horizontal relationship between the different notes. This is called contrapunct, or counterpoint (point vs point). When you're playing the bass note and add 3 more notes using your right hand, think of it as a choir consisting of 4 singers: bass, tenor, alto and soprano. If you look at it like that, every singer has a unique melody and together they form chords. When you use the right inversions and don't jump from one basic chord to another you actually create a more balanced melody for each singer 😎 If you want to learn more, I suggest you buy the Bach Chorale book which is the holy grail of western harmony and advance from there. 😀

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.
