Nice tip to composers.
I started to study music twice years ago. Only theory. My piano is in the box. I just use the tablet or cell phone piano I've installed.
It is so surprising how easy I can compose melodies only knowing a few chords.
I think I have the talent for blues improvising , even not knowing the rules.
I don't have good ears. It's hard for me to understand what people say and my ears can hear very acute sounds.
The piano is such magic thing for me.
I can not play the guitar. My skin is too thin. My nails are weak. They are like paper.
Piano is the only instrument for me and the one that I like best to hear.
The instrument I like least is the violin. It's the instrument I can not understand. Why would someone invent a thing like that?
I think weird or just someone who has always loved piano.

Hi Gareth! If you read this comment, I have a question. Do these diminished chords you explained in the video only occur in root position? I've done a bit of harmony analysis in this piece I'm learning. I found that the diminished chords, for eg. C dim, shares the same notes as the E- and F# diminished chords (when I inverted C dim trying to find out whether C was actually the root). It ended up being a bit confusing to name the chord when it shares the same notes as other diminished chords.

Your method of teaching is the best I-ve ever experienced. So many elements of theory I-ve found difficult are now much clearer thank you. One question I keep asking myself tho...how do you know when to start counting up or down. From the note you are on or starting from the note immediately following? Is it just as case of learning which ones do which don-t! Thank you.

Thank you so much. This is so useful. Just a request, I've just started my grade 6 theory. I'm studying on my own so, even though I referred some books I'm finding the terms -dissonance-, -consonant- and -syncopation- when it comes in a question. When they ask us to find that thing on a big piece of music. So can you please make a video for that?
Thank you in advance -

Very helpful, thank you!
If you don't mind...I'm having trouble with the inversions of the diminished 7th chord since it's all based on stacked minor 3rds.
For example, in a piece in A minor, the chord -C, D#, F#, A- but with D# in the bass. How can I know the inversion of this chord?
I would really appreciate it if you would help me. Thank you again!

that was very helpful
I have a question :if we are try to use diminished seven in natural minor can we convert diatonic diminished seven to fully diminished seven
or fully diminished seven to half diminished seven in harmonic minor

From which film of yours can I understand the thing in more detail which you told 4:17 and what's the difference between Ab and G#?
Thank you!

-add a little colour - add a little drama- You know when it -sounds- right. I'm trying to tie all this into Barry Harris's approach of movement.
