I'm just sad that a whole 2 hour video explaining literally everything about the types of chords and what they do only gets 250 likes. Completely and seriously underrated. Thanks for this video.

You're welcome, I appreciate the kind words!

I am absolutely shocked that this channel is still so small. Keep going because this channel is an absolute goldmine!

Thanks for the support!

This video is full of amazing and crucial information for songwriters. I’ve been consuming the information just a few segments per day, for the past couple of days, so that I can practice with the things that I learn and commit the theory to my understanding of music as thoroughly as possible. My goal right now is to become fluent enough in this stuff to be able to write songs more quickly than I have in the past. I don’t think this video is intended to be watched all in one go. I recommend taking your time with this one. The knowledge is very valuable!

[@ErylCarter-e2e]

Absolutely brilliant. I agree with all the people who’ve said they learnt so much. I’ll be watching and listening again and again . I like the logical way you explain things plus your voice is pleasant to the ear. The graphics are great too - nice to look at and very clear. Thank you so much. This is going to help my songwriting enormously.

awesome video, exactly what i needed!!!

[@WriteASong]

I'm glad it helped!

[@nukulshah4536]

Amazing content!! A lot of good theory and understanding of different chords. I have just stated learning music, and though these examples are amazing, I feel the melody and drums are overpowering to take over the chord progression. As music it sounds amazing, but its hard for me to really absorb the chords and differences to be heard/felt. It might just be me and my broken ears but it leaves me hanging for almost there to understand

[@WriteASong]

I'm glad the video has helped you. Yes some of the examples don't sound great, I now use different software to try and make the nuances a bit easier to hear.

Pretty sure I just learned more in the first 30 minutes of this than I did in an entire high school music theory class lmao.

[@angel_of_rust]

would you make a personal tier list of all these kinda chords?

[@WriteASong]

This video is a top 20 chord list kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqXGl4COaZedp5o but the order wasn't my personal preference. I'll make a note of the tier list idea!

[@angel_of_rust]

@@WriteASong ah interesting

[@miclus2031]

And what about the half diminished chord (minor 7th♭5 chord)?

[@WriteASong]

Not mentioned here but I do plan to cover it in the future.

[@tyler361t2]

38:00 why

[@DrUmSensitive]

Man, I REALLY appreciate and love your videos, one small remark, though: since I am very concentrated on the sounds you produce (that is the scope of those videos, right?) when you say sikth instead of sixth, I feel like a sharp piece of ice just pierced my ear, each time. Since I am not a native english speaker, I might be wrong, but to me, it sounds like you're swallowing the "s" before the "th" to emphasize the "h" which sounds extremely annoying to my ears. That's why I wanted to humbly ask viewers of the channel (including yourself) to clarify. As far as I can remember, everyone always said: s-i-k-s-t(h), not s-i-k-th, usually pronouncing the "th" more like a standard "t." Or am I missing something? :) Keep up the good work, you've made a ton of difference to my songwriting!

[@WriteASong]

Thanks for the comment! Sorry about the sixth pain. This is just the way I say the word. I'm not sure if it's a regional thing in the UK or just me being lazy with my pronunciation.
