[@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.

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 .......

[@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

[@RonelHarmse]

Absolutely fabulous.

[@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.

[@mariemonroe5172]

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!! ☀️💚

[@dimitriousskippers]

Hey KC Dimitrious here... Since I've studied all of your chords I've improved a lot in my chord structures.. it's now maybe more then 2 years now and I've learned and still learning a lot from you tutoring... Thanks so much God Bless

[@prettysimplemusic]

Hey there Dimitrious!! Love to hear this brother!! So glad our channel has helped you on your musical journey! Much love ☀️💚

[@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.

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]

Peace and greetings to you good Brotha' and thank you kind for giving a clearer understanding to the type of chords that naturally come to my ears when I'm inspired to write.. Integrating these with chords that I learned and fell in love with from the early 70's that I personally call Hippy Chords is what enchants me to music appreciation...Thank you again Sir, for your sacrifices, and kindness...And By the way,...your teaching skills, and decorum are exceptional..
