Most educational channel on YT for music. He teaches us crucial things that people don't realize need to be taught.

I remember learning classical piano in the seventies and eighties when curiosity and fun were not welcome when learning "serious" music. And I remember experimenting with altering the arpeggios of Bach's preludium. I played them upside down, as rock n' roll, syncopated or in triplets and that was the moment something clicked and I discovered that I was not tied to the will of some long-dead composers but that i could alter and recreate music or invent some of my own. And I also found out what a genius Bach was, but that is another story...

As a guitarist, this is the best explanation of how piano is used in popular music I've ever seen, Kudos!
-
“Nice cup of tea” and “Pass the Goddamn butter” is a game changer! Always tried too hard to wrap my head around polyrhythms to play them well 😂
-
The 'Nice Cup of Tea' and 'Pass the God Damn Butter' were amazing. The pure British-ness of them 😂
-
Me, 23 mins ago: No way will I watch this whole video. Me now: Well, pass the goddamn butter.
-
The most impressive part of this video is not just the examples given but how each one seamlessly leads in to the next
-
Just want to say, I really appreciate your totally smooth transitions between songs and your ability to speak and teach while making them. Really great stuff David.
-
Videos without David mentioning Radiohead: 0
-
Wow!! This is a crazy valuable resource any songwriter can refer to!! I’ve been writing songs for 25 years but… I think I’m gonna check this next time I write a song, and really think about which technique to use. Thanks David!!
-
I thought the video was going to be about I V VI III, but it turned out to be about piano hand patterns. Had I known that I would have clicked on it sooner.
-
The nonchalantness of you saying pass the god damn butter is great lol. Once again, great video dude
-
As someone who was never actually taught piano and taught myself this is so helpful!!
-
Thank you so much for making polyrhythms more accessible, it really helps to think of the composite rather than trying to split your brain in half. You're a great teacher.
-
Didn't really learn anything new but I'm glad a new generation of musicians will have that videos. I learned these over years of just picking up small things every now and then.
-
bruh did i just see the note's names on the sheet music?? for someone who cant read, thank you david
-
Must have been hard to not play 'still dre' during that staccato section. You're a better man than me
-
More videos on how to play chord progressions. Chord connectors are amazing and these videos are like songwriting GOLD
-
0:40 It's cool how Hosier is SO recognisable that I immediately thought of it when David played the held chords in that specific way.
-
Excellent video as always, and you've convinced me that I should invest in 88 notes to fill out the top and bottom parts with my group
