Hi David thank you so much for your content it’s so interesting and your presentation makes it even better!
Thanks!
Do I know this already? Yes. Am I still going to watch the whole thing? Also yes.
Oh jeez, I thought learning music theory in 29 minutes was part of my problem, not the solution!
I learned some new stuff in the iceberg video, and in most of the vids, but this one’s probably entirely beneath me. Which is amazingly great, if it turns out to be true.
To total beginners – I was joking about learning in 29 minutes being the problem… but still, you’d do well to pause the video whenever you need to digest something, or to try it out in practice, before moving on.
Iād enjoy these sort of videos more often thank you

since watching your channel i always hoped for more music theory lesson videos, so glad youāve done this!
Hi David, I have learned so much from your videos! I’d love to see a video on the different types of outros in songs and generally how to nicely end a song, what different types there are etc.
Agree!!
The best explanation of the minor and pentatonic scales I’ve seen. Thank You!
A very neat summation of a lot of fundamental theory! A great presentation, too – your slides and animations are so clear!
This was put in a way that was very clear and easy to understand! It actually made me realize a couple of things that I’d always read about but never understood or put together!
Holy moly the waves of music theory that has just clicked is amazing!!! Thanks dude, genuinely helpful stuff in here that has been “taught” to me before, but not really explained to me in a way I actually had any sort’ve grasp of what it all meant. Especially the notation part. Brilliant work as always.
One question I have about that part though, is why are some of the notations upside-down? They appear to have the “flag poles” hanging down rather than pointing up. Whats up with that?
The “flag poles” are ponting down when the note is above the middle of the stave, and pointing up when it’s below the middle, as it helps to keep the sheet organized
Thank you! Tried learning music theory before but this really is laid out in an easy way to understand! Cheers!
This answered a couple of my questions – thank you
I’m only 10 mins in and I feel like I have a way way way better understanding of theory. Man. I wish I would have taken theory but I felt like I would never get it. But you explained it so well. You have a way of teaching that’s very efficient and easy to understand š¦šš
Superb and uncanny timing for me. Was just fussing about how I don’t understand key signatures. š Thank you.
Great video David. I love music theory.
Informative video! Iāve been playing for 2 years and I still learn something new from you. Thanks to all Iāve learned, Iām now brave enough and performing for others (free of courseš). Thanks for helping me achieve my dream. Namaste from Miami.
Could you do a video about more advanced topics? At least in the States, many people were in the school band or orchestra, so they know a lot of this stuff. But what should we learn next, after the basics?
Thanks for the bit at the end on notation, it brought back what I learned 60 years ago in middle school band. I will save this video and refer to it often until I have committed it to memory.
This is like a revision lesson of your course. Much appreciated. š
