[@tamaschernel4900]

Hey KC! I just found your channel a few days ago and to tell you the truth I am addicted watching these very high quality, great, informative videos. I barely slept last night, I couldn't stop watching them... I already learnt a lot from you. Thanks! Tom from Ireland.

[@prettysimplemusic]

Thanks so much Tom (Tamas)! I’m truly glad you found us, and I hope to continue delivering even better video for you in the future!!! Much love to you all the way in Ireland! 🇮🇪 ☀️💚

[@reedbowden2473]

This has to be one of the best videos I've found on KZbin about this. I'm an intermediate player who's just struggling with chords being too bland and cheesy, and have scoured the internet looking for help. Thanks for being so in depth but still clear, concise, and straight to the point. Go Royals.

[@prettysimplemusic]

[@angelosabanal9282]

you're in the key of C, then you just changed the 1 into A. it's confusing but soon I realized that A is the relative minor of C. wow! im amazed. new musician here not playing piano but taking your lessons and applied it to guitar :) thanks man. God bless

[@MrAjomase]

I,ve been around the block 85 times a song writer, singer, composer and still learning to play the piano ( ear trained) and I must give praises to KC for his Learned Blessings which is helping to make me the piano player I have always wanted to be when I was a lad living in Bermuda and am now an Elder type Dude living in London Keepin On, Your,e the Bees Knees KC Keep On My Man .......

I have watched so many videos, and read comments of people explaining this concept, but this video has been the MOST helpful! Thank you so much for the very simple explanation of drop 2’s (I also learned that I’ve been playing Add 2’s as a beginner without knowing).

[@prettysimplemusic]

Oh my goodness!! Thanks so much!! It truly is my pleasure and I love to hear that this has helped you so much!! ☀️💚

[@rebeccasue]

When I tell you this is the video I was looking for. I've taught myself and I play and sing in church by ear of course. I hear every chord and some melody, but lately I feel like it sounds boring. I want to learn little tricks like this. Thank you. I'm saving this to practice later, and I will be watching everything you make. I just learned a trick of playing 5 1 5 with my right hand for the whole song from another youtuber. So simple yet beautiful. Appreciate you sharing your wisdom.

[@peterjrmoore3941]

Amazing I've played piano since i was 10 (66 now) plus 10 years lessons w Allaudin Mathieu. I couldn't stop watching this! It's so clear - and the presenter is so friendly. It's NEVER too late and Always worthwhile to go back to the beginning. There's always something new to learn. - BTW an opera singer from UK traveled (many yrs ago) to India to study w the Dagar brothers. She was instructed to sing SA for a whole year - basically sing C for a year and nothing else.

[@osanyadeedmond4159]

I love you KC.... Thanks for giving this chord a name... when I discovered it myself, I couldnt really explain what it is...

[@RobertLeva]

Pro Tip write down every chord from 1-8 (keep a journal for this stuff). Write it in a grid like you would an excel doc. I find that taking just a couple minutes to write it down first saves me a ton of repetitive work on the keys. Amazing vid here! 10/10. God bless.

[@prettysimplemusic]

Thanks a lot for that tip Robert!! We also created pdfs to make learning this material much easier as well… Much love my bro ☀️💚

[@Shadow_2055]

That’s exactly what I did. 😅 👍

[@jesunifemiale8619]

@@RobertLeva Pls could you elaborate on this, this seems like a very nice idea and would save alot of time, but I don't quite understand how U explained it

[@RobertLeva]

@@jesunifemiale8619 I have a nice journal that I keep at my piano, just regular lined paper not a musical staff. I wrote 1-8 at the start of each line and I wrote the notes for each chord [CDEG] [CHORD NAME]. I find the writing process adds a new layer to learning. It really helps.

[@jesunifemiale8619]

I love the way you teach it’s so simple and your energy is amazing Lmaoo. Everytime you laughed I laughed because of how simple and good those chords sound. Thank you man.
