you're a great, clear, and concise teacher. And you picked an incredible song to explain....

[@leonwaves]

Thanks!

[@HexagonMusic]

The algorithm should treat you better.

[@malcolm_mal2055]

That Bbm9 - Eb9#11 - Fmaj7 is just such a beautiful chord progression oof

[@TheKelvinMusic]

This is amazing. Explaining these chords and showing them in the right voicing. You have an amazing ear. Immediate subscription right here and now. Show us more! And keep doing what you do brother. Thanks you so much!! Grtz from Amsterdam, Netherlands

[@HankusMaximus]

man i was just realizing how amazing this song is and I find this tutorial. amazing job dude.

[@leonwaves]

Thanks!!

[@jrparsons8313]

Best tutorial I've seen! I love the way you usr the roman numbers and show the chords slowly so I can actually see and learn the sections,the way you split them up! Please do more stevie wonder songs. I feel he is one of the great treasures of our time! Thanks! Great work! I subscribe too!

[@barrowmeoct04]

I absolutely love the verse on this song. Interesting to see a harmonic analysis and kind of explains why I find it so pleasurable.

[@JermaineWilsonOfficial]

Great video👌🏽

[@frankiemidnight4218]

I love stuff like this. Thank you for this one!

[@leonwaves]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Joshleslie871]

Yo I really enjoyed this video and picking up my guitar and jamming along (really helpful when my chord charts fail me to see you notes on the piano!) I don’t really know your constraints as far a copyright stuff but it would be cool to have you play on the keys through the progression in time after you’ve explained it, even without the original track, to get a chance to play along with the flow of things. Anyways you totally earned the sub, awesome content and maybe I’m the only one jamming along, but I’m having a blast man!

[@lulukelvidiana9173]

we need more like this!

[@MottaSax]

Dios!. Saludos desde Colombia. Me gusta mucho tu canal! Espero sigas creciendo bro. Tus análisis armónicos son brutales

[@norberttchouimsty9697]

[@JeiShian]

[@leonwaves]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@colcal5275]

You are a blessing

[@lionelcampos9868]

Great 👍 thanks

[@JoaoPedro-pl2be]

man more videos please

[@hobodivine5776]

These are awesome, thank you so much! Could you please do an analysis of "Open Sesame" by Kool & the Gang? 🤞🏾🍀✨

[@danhunt9201]

Love your videos! One minor suggestion would be to be careful with your superscripts to make it easier to follow along. For example, the viewer can get sometimes confused between E^(b9#11) and Eb^(9#11).

[@toronado455]

awesome

[@issiewizzie]

more ...more bravo

[@albrin]

great stuff!!!

[@leonwaves]

Thanks!

[@pearjamatumpleng4511]

Thank you so muchh

[@reichensperger1847]

Very well done, Leon. Nice to see the voicing. My only regret is that you didn't mention the key change at the end, when he joyously rises up a half step (just as he did on You Are the Sunshine of My Life, My Cherie Amour, For Once in My Life, etc.)

[@urbangorilla33]

If you like those, check out Golden Lady, where he does it FIVE times!

[@reichensperger1847]

@@urbangorilla33 Nice point, John, but a little late: I bought Innervisions the week it came out, in August 1973! (But maybe you can tell me how many times he modulates in Summer Soft?). Thanks for the comment.

[@TheseTangledWebs]

Subbed, cheers

[@Dep_nyc]

would be visually more helpful to see the different hands on keys 🎹 in different colors 🎨, as well as hold the notes ever so slightly longer (or fade out the color over time after it’s played)

[@leonwaves]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@juwonnnnn]

👍

[@sebasramirez843]

Please analyze Apocalypse Dreams from Tame Impala!! Amazing videos.

[@bunbun154]

Why do you say add2 instead of 9?

[@leonwaves]

Which part exactly?

[@jameswang3860]

9 implies a 7 in there as well. Add2 is just 1 2 3 5

[@zegonix]

im certain you make great videos, but i dont understand a word :)
