[@mattstroker]

This tutorial is absolute gold to me. Thank you very much!!

[@brett-thomas]

This is really terrific. I’m a twenty year educator (of adults) and I really appreciate your clarity, simplicity and the subtle encouragement inherent in this approach that continually implies “this isn’t hard, you can absolutely do this. I will help make it easy.” And indeed, you do. Thank you. 🙏🏼

[@OscarUnderdog]

Thats nicely said 😁❤️

[@baronvonlimbourgh1716]

Great teacher!

[@2112jonr]

Easily the clearest, most straightforward and music jargon free explanation I've seen of these concepts since I started learning a few months ago. Thank you, that has tempted me to go for one of your courses. Quality lesson for a beginner like me, great ! :-)

[@OscarUnderdog]

Love it 😁

[@h3px1a]

what to add except another thank you! 🙏

[@xnajx]

His courses are really good! Did you end up doing one?

[@fatfreefarmer4023]

Late comment but yes, outstanding ability to explain concepts and get people creating!

[@codyschneider6151]

Your way of explaining chord inversions as just a move in note octaves is probably the easiest to grasp I've come across. Major thanks

[@skyyouknow]

As someone who's taken YEARS of music theory courses, I think this video is an AWESOME way to teach beginners the basics of music theory! 20/10 recommend!

[@supermuneca]

I’ve never seen this explained in such a simple way. This channel has great content!

[@SpeedRacerx89]

Great instructor here. Best class on this that I have seen so far.

[@anthonymaverick2193]

Never had someone explain music theory so simple and straightforward, thank you very much brother 🙏

[@N1Z3L]

the vid ive been looking for for years... never made is past this point. Thank you so much!

[@sophielekker8160]

Amazing. I've just started producing and have been struggling to understand this and boom, 30 minutes and completely got it! I hope you keep them coming! Best teacher ever.

[@veryverymetta]

I've learned more from watching 2 hours of your content than from countless hours of hanging out with "musicians and artists" and trying to ask them questions.

[@shawncarr8387]

I have taken college music theory, and within five minutes you taught me what I learned throughout weeks of that course…it all makes more sense to me described in this way. Kudos! Thank you!

[@websherpa]

Man, Oscar you are such a good teacher. I’ve had a few starts and stops in my life learning music (through a few instruments, never really mastering any one), but I’ve never truly “got it” in terms of basic music theory like this. Looking at the colour oremotion of the music as related to the theory is fundamental, but no one teaches it in the beginning this way. Doing so makes it so much more easily consumed. Thank you! I shall go “smush.”

[@odeaaaa]

Just found this channel, I'm beginning the binge. Learnt more in the last few hours than I have in months, so many new ideas! Thanks for the vids!

[@OscarUnderdog]

Welcome aboard! 😁✨

[@mikhailtrofimov100]

Totally same!

[@AIJoeExperiment]

Beginning the binge… ah yeah me too . But… a rabbit hole that’s enjoyable

[@pierlaurenzi]

I have been 15 years making music as an amateur by ear. You clearly have a talent for teaching, thank you

[@bobbyarchaic9649]

This is the simplest and most straight forward explanation of fundamental music theory I have seen. Outstanding presentation of content. I also appreciate how the concepts have been pared down to their key elements in order to simplify the concepts and facilitate ready understanding on a base/core level. Any and all other details of music theory can be investigated and explored easily with a foundation built on the knowledge presented in this video. Very impressive overview for half an hour of video.

[@OscarUnderdog]

Ahh I'm happy to read this. I made this video when I had basically zero video editing skills still, so I think it could be made even more streamlined, but I love that it's connecting with people.

[@daddoingstunts202]

This is - hands down - the most hand on approach I've seen when it comes to the fundamentals of music theory. Great visualization and explanation in this vid!

[@maximstartsev9841]

was teaching some music theory 20 years back when playing in garage rock band and now when thinking about restart my hobby i'm so lucky to find this video. massive thank you.

[@sultanow123]

Hej, I’m producing electronic music since 2008 and learned about harmonies by my self while using my ears for harmonic tones but since I’m watching your classes many things changed in my music productions. I wanna say thank you for your classes and time to share your expertise. Best greetings from Berlin.

[@Jantimsen]

Wat een heldere uitleg zeg! Voor t eerst dat ik t serieus snap haha. Thnx!

[@CaptainFuzzzy]

People like you make the world a beautiful place. Thank you. :)

[@eltanque6722]

Learning Music theory was easily one of the most daunting things that was holding me back from actually making sense of the kind of music I wanted to create. Which notes where the right ones to use and having structure in a song etc. Literally learned this during my lunch break and can't thank you enough! 😀

[@OscarUnderdog]

☺️❤️

[@Yilue]

Omg THANK YOU. I've been wanting to try music and fl studio for years. Finally gave in and got fl studio and have had some fun with it. Made a little lofi song which I'm actually pretty happy with. Watched a lot of tutorials about it. But omg this video is the simplest and clearist video on music theory I've watched and I feel like I've learnt so much just from this vid.

[@AntonBanks]

I'm a complete novice to music theory. I learned more in the first 10 minutes of this video than I have in the last 10 years. Your videos are extremely concise and well done. You've definitely earned my subscription.

[@JahFunkey]

I've never seen music theory being presented in such a clear and simple way. Congrats ! You do a great job !

[@johnrohdejensen1218]

This is an absolutely genius explanation. Simple, clear and easy to understand. I've seen most of the stuff before but usually buried in hours of arcane jargon. You deserve a bucket full of medals for this video alone.

[@MPOhardcore]

Very nice explained, very smooth. Nice video!

[@OscarUnderdog]

Thanks Ilhan, great to hear!

[@PatrickObiang]

A MUST WATCH FOR ALL THE BEGINNERS LIKE ME IN MUSIC THEORY! BRAVO!

[@billymkirkwood4956]

I learned to play by ear and have no musical tuition background at all... I completely have an understanding of notes and octaves, flat and sharp keys, but this has really helped me join up some dots... fabulous video and thankyou so much for this, it has helped a lot! Could have really done with this back in the early 90's making bedroom dance music, with my 2 mates and loads of ideas.

[@master-of-none-47]

Thank you! Clear and concise.

[@fescheik]

Best video to understand music. I have been watching 100s of videos about learning music and this is the most simple and clear. Keep it up,

[@lionheartglass]

I have been jamming since I was a kid. I have never so clearly understood what I have been doing. Thank you

[@tehfrannjo]

You are a really good teacher! Well done on this tutorial.

[@csabatoke6076]

Finally i understand chords. THANKS!

[@brasileironaeuropa]

Aula maravilhosa. Muito obrigado.

[@ApeStep]

Thanks for the great tutorial you made it interesting and not boring and i appreciate that. I was with you up until inversions lol so that's something i'll need to dive deeper into. But just really wanted to say cheers for making this.

[@freddiemartinez1586]

Finally wish I had seen this in 2020, thanks for making the video

[@yes-i-can-hehe]

Amazing video after so many videos I watched, you earned my subscribe.

[@autumnmod]

I've been following this channel for a month and I feel I've learned more than I ever did on two years I've been studying music production by myself, hope I'll be able to partake on Underdog's class one day, thank you for your knowledge Oscar!

[@Desmobrenner]

Amazing... thank you so much. What a great teacher you are.

[@JeffSans]

Omg you taught me how to play the piano and notes. I feel like i can play it now so well

[@DanChippendaleMusic]

Having made electronic music for the last couple of years with absolutely no formal training and very little music theory knowledge, (I've managed to get a feel for keyboard playing through a lot of trial and error). I've always felt intimidated by watching music theory videos as it seems to be some kind of dark art that I was worried I'd not understand. So glad I watched this video, as it's helped to consolidate some of the self taught stuff and made me realise it's not so scary, and actually I'm over half the way there, now I can understand the basics. Thanks for making this video. Your teaching style is so accessible, kudos to you!

[@mikethemusicman1978]

its definitely not a dark art but a journey which can be very rewarding once you understand the basics, I spent many years at college and I'm still learning every day, it's an ongoing process

[@procta2343]

Thanks for that! bringing back memories from my music GCSEs with the steps and half steps.

[@19o]

thank you. great teacher i've been watching your videos for about 1 month now. learned a lot from you. god bless 🙌

[@horacionobrega]

This is my third video i see from you and i feel i learn more in this videos than in my 30 years of playing... you earned my subscription. Thank's for sharing your passion with us

[@StefanvanderKlooster]

I've tried to understand this watching many videos, but I always got lost in the process. But not with this video. Very clear breakdown and explained in a way that is not too technical but very practical. Thanks!

[@tomvanhaaften9448]

Eindelijk een heldere, duidelijke en voor nu complete uitleg, dank je wel Oscar !!!🤩

[@Krzysiekb89]

Simple, clear and beatiful :D thanks for that Oscar!

[@aenamabag]

24:15 I like the subtle pause before saying "head wreck for a beginner", where the words "mind fuck" must have been the first choice.

[@AIJoeExperiment]

This dude is the best. Been watching his videos for days on end. I’ve been following along with synths keyboards. Really appreciate these videos

[@NB-qq8wo]

Hats off to you!! You are a very talented teacher! 👏

[@jkarkar]

Wonderful - thank you!

[@benjibo9476]

love how you are doing!

[@duyenho4038]

Thanks so much for making music accessible and fun.

[@OscarUnderdog]

Ahhh, that's the goal 😁

[@tritonneptune3834]

Amazing video, thank you. If i had one small nitpick about the video it's the background music, just a bit confusing when you hitting keys and there's random track running in the background.

[@M.éloDie]

So far he is in one of my top ten KZbin music teachers.

[@joeyverbeek4984]

[@Wunderkammerdandy]

Totally agree! He’s awesome!
