Awesome teacher. Thanks for the video.

[32jaf]

You could be on pbs or something similar, great teacher and very soothing voice.

[tabamoura]

why don't they just write A,B,C,D,E,F on the keys?

[ILoveYourHat69]

@tabamoura It's cheating in a sense and it's more of a literary thing.

[DayTripperLennon]

[randybarrera]

Hey this guy is pretty good. I've been playing piano for 8 years now, and I just learned something new from watching this video. I never knew I could bring down the 9th, 11th and 13th notes back down to the same octave. Cool. I'm so gonna try this on my nextr project. Thanks Milton!!

[esther618]

Thank you. You are a really great teacher. You can simplify something complex to make it easy to understand. Bravo!

[DrKushBurns]

We need more educated brothers in this world like Bassicprincipal!! Keep your dreams alive, don't fall slave to the nine!

[Carydbuch]

I sure appreciate you for taking time to provide these great lessons.; I can play many songs on guitar, but still not sure what I'm doing theory wise :)

[jessie8165]

so glad i found your theories....so grateful.

[jessie8165]

so glad i found your theories....so grateful.

[alatestarter]

Very nice explanation of 9th, 11th and 13th (always wondered where this came from, now I know) - thanks.

[PoirePerry]

wow you actually helped me more in 10 minutes than my theory teacher now in my junior year of college.....thank you...my teacher is actually good but teaching..ehhh

[zphunqlaquane]

You are the best you should teach at berklee music college!

[XxFredAstairexX]

you are SO much better than the dude with massive hair, thanks for this and the rest of your videos!

[Sploogal]

Hi! I'm a piano teacher myself - looking on youtube for different ways of presenting lessons to my students to see if there are methods that they might find easier or more interesting than the way that I was taught. Your way of explaining the way around the keyboard is very simple and yet it covers all of the concepts that they need to know. Thankyou!

[bib1996]

Thanks, dear brother. I love your lessons. GOD BLESS YOU!

[phoenixapril]

best teacher ever

[tsuikjoshiomatsu]

why aren't you uploading more lessons?? you are like, the coolest guy teaching.

[eriquelefreak]

Brilliant!

[sambarrister]

Sir - i am sam from downunder - Aust - my son (5 y o) has me why does the middle C lies in the middle of the key board and not A - since A is the first letter of the Alphabet?

[mebeluvined]

i have a piano in my house...i truly wish i could play! i jusy believe that i'm not smart enough...not to mentio i can't read music:( i adore classical...but truthfully I LOVE ALL music...THANKL YOU FOR POSTING THIS

[leosntas]

God bless you teacher

[undagroundsoljah]

you are really peaceful teacher! it would be great if you could upload more videos! sorry for poor grammar!

[xLSDxUCSB]

I work with music from the heart but this was great. Something about the sweetness in this man's voice that creates focus on theory. I already knew some of this but it was great to learn more! thanks

Steve

[MidiRain]

[Crlsn]

[reginr]

Thank you!

[jdicke8894]

Thanks for helping us with the infomormation needed to pass along this treasured skill...

[footballstud1330]

black keys hang out in groups of two and groups of three, we call these slaves. haha. im jk. thx for the help man

[ganjerific]

Dude WTF!!!

[djnebulae]

TY FOR THE TIPS : )

[ksandersc5]

I'm a drummer that took music theory classes as an elective in college. That's how I figured out how to play the piano. Theory is like a mathemaitical formula for music. Once you learn it in theory you can apply it to any key.

[Jizzerfashizzer]

what do u call a person who hangs around musicians ,

a drummer ......BAA H , im jus messin . AND THAT comment makes alot of sense! the world thanks you for being smart , take care!

[SGabuna]

thank you

[yahags]

Why go to music school... or any school for that matter? Sounds like a lot of wasted time.

[steelykiss]

Just like going to school for anything else: So you can make a living doing something you love! I went to school for music and I've been playing and teaching guitar for a living ever since. I love my job as a professional musician. Getting an education always gives you an edge, especially in the highly competitive music business.

[AngeloKoolman]

thank you it helps me a lot as a musician,i play guitar i'm actually a singer,so i would like to play the piano also you know!greetings from aruba

[AChurcHillBoyVision]

I learned alot just by watching u than other videos of this sort on youtube...can you PRETTY PLEASE post a video on how to do arpeggios up and down the keys, gigging, soloing what ever you want to call it...along with some practicing techniques..cant get my fingers to walk on the keys..ya'll make it look easy

[singing2god4u]

Masterful teaching, beautiful understanding of music. Thank you! I look forward to the rest of your lessons.

[Aboxatax]

I like this guy. He explains things so well. Twice sometimes three times. He is probably one of few "real" music teachers that upload their knowledge for free. Thanks "bassicprincipal" I subscribed.

[gaganbatra66]

@Aboxatax great

[AndykeMusic]

Super tutorial for the basic stuff. I didn't quite get the chord part so I'll just skip it for now (I have a music theory book so I will have to read up on scales first).

[dyrenh]

Dude, I UNDERSTAND GROUPS OF TWO AND GROUPS OF THREE CAN WE MOVE ON?

[lughlamh]

choose another, jesus!

[bestonlinediamonds]

Very clear explanation,wish more of it...
