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.

Wait. David Bennett and Pianote in one place??? We don’t deserve 😭

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😊

Seriously, this is the compendium of chord composing techniques! Thanks David for making this a free tutorial! Appreciate it!

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.

I love to play around with the 1-4-5 chord progression. This man is basically telling you guys how to improvise and make something beautifully designed out of something simple. This is cool to see the explanations for the things I already do 😮

This is an excellent lesson. I am a beginner and it really opens my eyes to writing progressions. Thanks!

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.

I've seen a lot of videos on music theory and this makes a lot of what I've heard and seen over the years fall into place so to speak. Thanks a lot for this.

And the beautiful chord progressions are made like this. Amazing . Thank you David. Pianote thank you all.

Always love the passing chord practice. Something I need to think about a lot. Thanks

After this video, I understood so much more of what I was hearing in songs! Realizing now a lot of the passing chords that I didn't understand are just flavors for the same simple chord progression!! You are a great teacher, thank you for making it so clear and simple!

What a bonus having David & pianote together excellent lesson , thank you all 😊

This is the best teaching I've ever had when it comes to piano lesson. Subscribed already ❤️

Hey, It's David! This man is a brilliant enthusiast and analyst of musical theory. Great talent score!

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. 😀

This is by far the best piano instruction video I have ever seen! So well explained
