Guys, I know this dude wtf

Alright, I'm sold. This also is just another way musicians can only count to 4.

This is Cornell content I needed. I’m a self taught pianist and I’m super excited to see things in a way that helps deepen my understanding. Blow us away Charles! (HEY NO NOT LIKE THAT SHUT UP STOP IT OKAY STOP IT)

Or, simply speaking. The 3->1 movement is always between E and F, and the 4->1 movement is always between B and C. No matter what key you're in
-
Thanks for all the visuals throughout. Instead of just listening, I was actually LEARNING :D
-
I learned something As a guitar player I was always confused why in Ab playing around the tonal center of Bb the pianist would say "the song is in F minor" like why??? It's fingers! The anatomy of a human hand and that's awesome!
-
Love the new channel. Big fan of when you analyse popular songs but as a beginner who’s learning theory, these videos are brilliant.
-
That kind of stuff is what I've always been missing on your main channel..! Maybe in a later video you could talk about and demonstrate how to best practise scales to put them to use in a jazz context the best...
-
god i wish i'd been taught this back when i was learning, remembering all the fingerings was a killer!
-
Thank you for pointing this out. Self evident when you realise it. Just like the (standard) modes are all the same scale, you just start on a different note. Patterns rule 🎶
-
i have never thought which fingers i use for which notes i just sorta play with whatever is most convenient at the time
-
Can someone explain to me how it works on the left hand please? 😶

WHAT THE REVELATION!!! You knocked cord frustration right out the park😊!!! I knight you Sir Charles!!! I’m also self learning on the keys; I started at age 68 now 71. I avoided cords as long as I could and this is triple next level knowledge. This brings to mind the babies 6 years old banging on the pianos(prodigies). The little stumbling block was addressed and they moved on to something else. Like me, I avoided the confusion because I had no solution. Again, thank you Sir Charles
-
I really love the connection you made with the scale fingering in different keys. Great resource and really valuable connection to make for beginners
-
charles i love this channel concept (and i'm commenting on each video for the algorithm boost). i've always loved your theory stuff, and now instead of having to scrounge through your reaction vids for theory nuggets, i can get a full video of you teaching us this stuff!!
-
Thank you so much for this, it's incredibly helpful. Truly. And I rarely comment on videos... You are a wonderful player and teacher and I enjoy your channel very much.
-
This was honestly a mind-expanding lesson. So well done.
-
Simplifying concepts is the definition of Genius, specially "confusing" concepts or ideas like The Modes, which I was only able to understand by learning them as major scales. Would you consider making a video about that? (like Dorian being a major scale a whole step below the root and so on...) Thanks for enthusiastic approach and great content! Cheers!

This was really helpful, thanks! As someone who doesn't learn well by rote memorisation, it really helps to have a system.
