Thanks for making and posting this video eh 😎

[@WriteASong]

You're welcome!

Wow, that V(add6) to I, such a sweet cadence. Who knew... Thank you, this major 6 changed my whole perspective on music, I was stuck on triads!

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

Merci for this. I always joked that I was born with two left ears, and had no musical experience. 3 months ago I started piano lessons. Your videos are a great introduction to music theory, very practical.

[@WriteASong]

That's great to hear, thanks for the kind words Lawrence! How are you finding playing the piano?

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

@@WriteASong Therapeutic. I have a major orthopaedic injury in my shoulder which forced me to change my treatment procedures. But I became quite the expert on treating shoulders. Which helped me develop finger strength. I was massaging thousands of shoulder blades with a span of an octave, meaning it the scapula was larger, I needed stronger fingers to reach the subscapularis muscle. BTW I'm doing a video for pianists (and other musicians) for exercises and self treatments for the low back as well as the upper extremity. It'll be ready in August. Stay tuned.

[@WriteASong]

I'm glad it's helping you get over your injury. I look forward to the video!

[@ahmeterenosun8572]

Thanks for the video. I'm can't wait for "11th(minor major dominant) chords" and "add 11" chords (minor major and diminished).

[@WriteASong]

Thanks for the comment, I will get to 11th chords eventually but I have a few to do before then!

[@golden.k0rral]

[@colinliaubass1712]

C6 is the standard tuning for a uke

[@christopherheckman7957]

Originally, the 6 was the preferred extension of a major triad, not a 7.

[@WriteASong]

Interesting, thanks Christopher!

[@davidswanson5669]

Please next time show the keys of a piano in your graphic art, otherwise 90% of your potential audience, like me, will leave the video to find one that does.

[@WriteASong]

Newer videos have a piano roll in them.

[@chad9166]

Lmao you sound whiny as hell.

[@tobiasmwakalobo2067]

Thankx teacher, I appreciate your lessons but I'm requesting you to kindly put the chords for the clarification for me It makes easy to learn.
