    Well done. Something to use and practice Daily. The 4,3,2,1 walk down at the end of the lesson reminds me of an old song that I can't figure out. It is going to drive me mad until I do. Thanks for the lesson Tom.

    Hi Tom. For some reason I hadn’t been picking up your wonderful youtube lessons! So good to hear all about 7ths!!! I’ve been changing jobs and handling all sorts of health stuff for me and my wonderful Boxer dog Henry. However, i have managed to get my Kawai electric piano set up in my new ‘sandpit’ so I can go and just switch out of law and PLAY in my musical sandpit !!!!! Next step is getting onto your website to accept with thanks all the cheat sheets you’ve prepared to help me learn and have fun!!!!! Thank you! What you and your colleagues are doing at the London School of Contemporary Piano is fabulous!!!!!!!!! Darcey

    Bluesy and Schmoozy. Great description. I'm glad you talked inversions.
    I have been concentrating on triads for a while since I was lacking basic triad mastery, but now I'm doing cadences and even Bach is using 7ths. He used mostly V7 in various inversions, but also ii7, vii°7 but also IVMaj7.

    I likely won’t forget the impact of my RUclips visit today. Thanks to this channel. Specifically. I was brought back to a day-now many years ago-when the desire to play an instrument that has been in my home since childhood was born. I did something, it sounded pretty good, and I said to myself then, “When I learn how to do that (what I had just done), with understanding, I’m going to be pretty good at this thing!”
    There have been all kinds of obstacles since, but my passion for want to learn piano has not waned. I actually made progress on that beginning tune not long ago, developed it a bit, but used it as a sort of confirmation (an indicator) to keep going. I have, and today it can be heard in this video. Wow. A special thanks to the Lady in Green (in another video of this channel); it was her playing that first caught my eye.

      3 Main Pillars: Learn your chords (can't run without knowing them first) 2. Learn patterns and grooves. 3. Put them into an improvisation. All of the videos on this channel can be categorized into one of these three pilars. (except a few advanced ones that cover the 4th Pillar)
