  • Hey, I liked your music theory videos. What happened?

  • @pmizzle2010 No one watched them....people would prefer to watch Charlie Sheen saying 'Jesus Crap' 16 times. Go figure.

  • @thebeatschool Those idiots shouldn't be your target audience. Do make tutorials for praise and exposure, or is that just a bonus from helping people? :|

  • @zawmbees Well, I'm thinking about doing more tutorial vids, but geared towards analysing top charting songs to see how they are constructed.

  • great video!

    'Maladies'... must be from 'Malbourne' :)

  • @willcorporation Well spotted :)

    I can see you try very hard to get your knowledge across, but the problem is the way you explain is very confusing. Most those who watch this are beginners, how will they figure out what are you saying, " passing note" ? Just make it simple, if the chord is not include, why use it and confuse people ??????? No hard feeling. Just make it simple, surely you'll have tons on students very soon. All the best

  • OMG, did you make that on the spot?! You're really good...

  • Hey what is the name of the melody you are explaining?

  • this is great, thanks for making this video! :)

  • no doubt you know your stuff... I need to get up on some of your lessons lol... thanks for the vid.

  • You make it look so easy, but when attempting it in front of my piano its hard

  • Subscribing! Thank you so much

  • this helps a ton, thanks
