    My guy breaks down the theory to the point of explaining the numbering system/scale degrees/how chord progressions work in general, instead of just assuming that people know their theory (when a lot of people didn't have the privilege to be taught it). You my brother have earned my respect, keep it up 💪🏾

    this is amazingg!!! ive been playing around with piano for years and years, by learning the chords to songs, but i havent understood any of the music theory behind what im doing. knowing these progressions and how they relate to the key that theyre in by numbers is so frickin transformative. Thank you for sharing (:

    I came here because I wanted to start composing more R&B inspired music and this video helped a lot. I also do believe what you're explaining is the Lydian mode. It is the fourth mode of the major scale. It sounds really nice and uplifting. Thank you for the cool video!

    I was always afraid to play in any key but Cmaj7 and never thought about moving fingers until i saw this. Been self-training training so hearing the notes makes sense how these tones I now here make sense. R&B is hard enough but thanks for keeping it super simple because in the end, it's basic chords that make the song. Added chords like 9ths and 13ths and all that is only for the snobs who think they way they sound, is just to sound good. . Thanks again man for this, you opened up a new milestone of music for me and I tried this progression in different progressions... smooth!!
