Hi, Martin. Long-time piano/keyboard player here. I purchased this a while back. I actually cut the cards down to size, inserted them into transparent document protectors, trimmed them down to size, and taped them shut. I think the real benefit (besides the obvious visual patterns) is the finger numbers for each key (1 2 3 1 2 3 4 5). When I show these cards to guitar players, some who are pro and semi-pro, they immediately want to play all the keys! Guitar players think in patterns for everything on the fretboard. Scale patterns, arpeggios, triads, etc. Everything is a shape that can be moved to any other place on the fretboard. These cards are nice visual aids.
Thank you for purchasing and for this great explanation. I really need you on marketing team as I couldn't have put this better. Thanks!
@@martinfinnpiano Martin, you should make a set of cards for shell voicings (Maj7, m7, Maj6, m6/dim7, mMaj7). Anyone can cut up a piece of folder board and draw the lines but it would be nice to see it done right.
One of those things you can't believe you never noticed until it's shown to you. Mind is definitely blown.
Thank you! Yes, isn't it?
I’ve been playing for nearly 70 years, and teaching for 55 of those. How am I just now seeing this? Great idea!
and you think to yourself, how many other such "obvious" things are there around you and you don't notice them?
Good morning Mr. Finn. I am 69 years old. I have been a Choir Director/Musician since I was in my early twenties and I majored in voice in college. I have never seen or heard of the major scale concept that you have just showed us. This was amazing to me. I am going to use it for future knowledge and past this concept on to other young and older people who may be interested in this knowledge. Thank you for showing this concept to me today. I am tremendously going to use this for myself as well. I wish you continued success with your future musical videos & endeavors and I also wish you continued success financially as well. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge with us today. I really appreciate what you have just shown me. Have a wonderful day.
Really? You get taught this in grade 1 piano lessons
Not in my inn the area where I live. I have no need to lie to you about anything. But, still thank you so much for your knowledge. Best wishes.
What a lovely comment. I really appreciate everything you have said here. I am delighted that you got so much for it. I think everyone should know about this. When I first realised it for myself, it changed the way that I saw piano playing for good. The very best of luck to you from Ireland! Take care. Martin
@@orrinbynum5978same here. I have been playing for a while and this was never shown to me until this guy. This shows that no matter how much we know something, we can ALWAYS learn something new.
I appreciate your last message Mr. Martin. I am from Baltimore in the US. I lived and a very poor area in my city and my mom could not afford to pay piano lessons but, she was able to get me a used piano around age 13. I started learning piano in high school. I learn a few things for free the free class I got there. I didn’t really have great piano teachers until I got into college. That is where things got a little more serious. I majored in voice because it was easier to get through the music program that way. However my 2 child came and disrupted my college education. So I have to leave and get a job to take care of them. They are grown now and I still got a chance to play music in churches and I learn a lot of things from listening to gospel recordings and I was a choir director/musician and that allow me to make a little money to help me take care of my children along with my post office job. When I came across your video I said this is opening up something new to learn different types of scales. That is why it was so eye opening for me because I am still teaching choirs at my age and I am pretty good at it. I hope to put out my own music for my bucket list this year. I am hoping that some folks will like my original songs. Thank you again for your knowledge because I am really got to make great use of the knowledge you gave me in my own music. All the best to you in your future musical endeavors. Have a wonderful day and musical life.
I had this revelation while programming scales into an app a few years ago. It changed the way I approach the piano forever. Thanks for this handy trick with the paper! Also, I don't know why but it took a long time for me to realize the easiest way to play complex chords is thumb and pinky for white notes and the rest of the fingers for black notes.
Yes, it’s such a game changer when you see it. Fantastic that you realised it yourself. Such a buzz when it happens and so simple once you see it. Re playing big chords with finger and thumb on white keys - essential. Otherwise you are very limited.
It’s clever because we as new players focus on the wide front bit of the white key we press. The shift of our attention to the back of the key reveals same size which allows us to see the pattern … it’s simple and effective . I’m surprised at the range of moaners . Very helpful indeed .
Yes, you're right. It's just an attention shift. I love the reveal when it happens. Re moaners - you're always going to get them!
You bastard!!!! I love you so much!! Thank you Sir!
Haha!! Thank you. You are so welcome!
@@martinfinnpiano😂
Thanks! Im guitar player and this is by far the most useful piano vid Ive seen. Simple and most importantly immediately usable.
Thank you very much for your kind words. I'm thrilled. Yes, great for a guitar player coming to piano.
I've been playing the piano / keyboard for over 40 years and I never realised this. Mind blowing! How did I not see this before ??? well done - liked and subbed
No, you're Kidding, right 😂😂 ?? It is TOO obvious. So you've NEVER looked into the TOP half of the keyboard to see and NOTICE that the thickness of the keys is in fact all EQUAL 🤔🤔 😆😆???
Thank you very much. Crazy, right?!
As a student of mathematics, I am constantly amazed at how one textbook or video can present an old idea in an innovative way. As for the fact that this idea existed back in the 30s, where is that 94 year old publication? 😞 Right, no where! 😐 I really appreciate this lesson.
@@TebogoMotlhale Please oh wise one, grace us with your superior knowledge and great virtuoso skillset. We beg you to teach us the proper way to play the keyboard as we realize that you and ONLY you have the answers to music and life in general!! We beg of thee, show us, teach us, train us!!! 🙄
@@TebogoMotlhale nope
Umm....this is absolutely mind blowing. Thank you so much ❤️
Mind blowing for sure. It still gets me sometimes!!
Been playing guitar over 50 yrs.Dabble in keyboard occasionally.This connects the dots.I have a couple keyboards leaning against the wall.Time to put them on stands again.Very Impressed.Guitar shapes are movable too.You could easily see your inversions using these cards too. Bought the everything pack.. Best Regards
Delighted. Yes, dust off those keys. It's a sin to have them idle. :)
I just bought your material and boy... I was able to memorize all 12 major scales with the correct fingering of my right hand in half an hour. Must buy material. Thank you! Obrigado! Merci! Gracias!
Fantastic! That's amazing. Thanks for buying. Good luck with it.
This is a great help for people who can't visualize the scales or chords in their head.
Yes. It really helps to demystify the keyboard and solidifies the shapes of chords and scales in people's heads. Thank you.
Definitely a great trick for learning. Especially when it comes to muscle memory. But I do think that eventually listening is going to be much more important than visualizing. If you can hear the scale/chord, transposing it will be just as easy.
I agree any new song ive learned i can hear my mistakes instantly just knowing how the song should sound, and im 100 percent a visual learner
I took piano lessons as a kid, had jazz performance classes in college, and independently studied music theory for the past 12months. This video explained so much, and absolutely clicked for me.
No way! That's so interesting to hear of the breadth of your education and experience and that you can still experience the revelation!!
Amazing! I told my piano teacher about this . She was blown away. She is in her 20’s . I’m 67- intermediate level student. Wished I had this when I was a beginner.
Wow! Thanks for sharing. I love hearing that. Every day is a school day. Good luck with the playing.
I'm a new student at 70 and scales have been the hardest part for me. I've purchased your guides and subscribed to your channel. Thank you so much! I will be sharing this with my mentor.
Wow, Rose! You've just made my day. I'm delighted that you have found my guides a help. If you are anything like me you just want to know what to play and how to play it. It opens the whole thing up. The very best of luck to you with it all. Martin :)
Greetings of the day Mr. Finn. Thank you for showing this innovative method; will check it out. Makes life easy to figure out scales without memorizing. Keep those good videos coming and God bless you.
Thank you for that lovely message. Yes, please use it and let me know how you progress. I'll be sticking around, don't worry!!!
OMG, I've been playing piano and teaching for decades. and this never dawned on me. WOW, you just made scales and chords simple and accessible. Congrats Martin. I'll call it the Martin Finn Method in your honor.
The Martin Finn Method? I like the sound of that! Thank you for your kind words and for a great comment. If I can help you with anything, please let me know and good luck with the playing. :)
Martin! This is so helpful it's quite unbelievable!! You're a star, thanks so much.
With appreciation and kind regards, Rik.
Hey, thanks Rik! I’m delighted you like it and that you find it helpful. The very best of luck to you with the playing. :)
I’ve been playing for almost 2 decades, and this just blew my mind. I have never seen such simplicity put into something that is so hard to grasp
And think once you get his guides or make your own, you only have to do it once and you have them ready for whenever you want to play forever
Thank you very much. Yes, all this is true. You only have to see this once for it to make a permanent difference to your understanding of these concepts and getting or making the guides solidifies it. :)
This is a neat trick for transposing for us newer or dabbling pianists. I really like the simplicity of a piece of paper to see the move easily. This is also one of main reason I’ve played guitar so long and so little piano. Now maybe I can progress farther along than my “campfire” level of piano playing. Thanks! 😎
Thank you very much. Yes, it is as simple as I can make it. I realised when I took up the guitar as a teen that that instrument is just another series of semitones and that all instruments (in western music anyway) are set up the same. Good luck with the playing. Keep challenging yourself and practice every day. :)
Thank you, Mr. Finn for your work and your genius. I just bought the Big Kahuna and will use it to improve my keyboard playing. I'm 79 years old and in my five years of piano lessons, decades ago, never once was told this now-obvious way of getting better at piano.
The clincher in your video was looking straight down at the rear half of the keys and realizing that any combination of fingering will directly translate between any keys. It even makes me wonder if we should consider extending the rear of the black and white keys forward so that all keys are the same size, back to front. Certainly would like to try that.
The pdf's are, of course, set up for standard pianos. Many keyboards have narrower key widths. To help folks with those: we would consider sending our pdf's to the utility FinePrint. I've used this 'fine' utility for years; worth every cent. Put some scrap paper in your printer, and fiddle with different controls - enlarge, diminish, add margins, print to scrap until you find the best magnification for your keyboard. Then write down what you did, and repeat it for that keyboard. Pretty sure that should work well. I have several extra keyboards to try that on.
Good luck both to you and to all of us.
Jim
Hi Jim, thank you for your message. I really enjoyed reading it. Sometimes a simple reframing like this can make all the difference in your playing. I’m always keen to understand what’s going on under the hood - why and how songs work etc.
Re having all the widths the same - maybe but you can be sure that there was a good reason they did it the way they did. The collective wisdom of the masters of the past can’t be beaten when it comes to refining instruments.
The very best of luck with it all!!!
Thank you for your response, Mr. Finn. It means a lot. Good luck.
Jim DeMian
WOW, positively BRILLIANT! The BEST thing I have seen in YEARS of music learning! THANK YOU!
Thank you! I'll admit that the video is a bit click-baity but I wanted to get the message out there. Great comment and the best of luck with it all. Martin
We tend to think if this a lot but you actually put in the work to make a printable convenient reference. Just purchased all. Glad to contribute.
Hey, thanks for purchasing. It was a lot of work but so worth it. The process itself actually taught me a lot. If need any help with any of it, let me know. 😊
Amazingly~Amazing!! Simplicity really does make the “Challenging” somewhat simple. A very good tool to aid in building that “Muscle Memory”
Thank you! Yes, the idea is to create a really simple entry point for people. I don't think it sacrifices anything in the process. As you say, it helps in building muscle memory. :)
I started piano lessons at the age of 42! While learning the scales I kept thinking (and saying, to the dismay of the teacher) that all the patterns make a lot more sense if you think/implement in the full set of 12 halftones, rather than the 7 "main ones". In other words I realized the trick you've used here (and can "work it out" given enough time), although I haven't gotten anywhere close to knowing it by heart for majors, minors, arpeggios, etc.
You were on to it! So many people see it and it changes everything for them. Well done on that. Keep up the good work and you will discover all of the rest.
Cool. It also helps to know the steps in every scale. Majors are WWH -W- WWH (W=whole step H=half step) Minor are WHW - WHW - W. This is the theory behind your chart and why it works as you move up and down the keyboard.
Yes, indeed, you're right. You can see the pattern jump out at you.
blew my damn mind. as a producer who can only play guitar, this helps tremendously with the keyboard
Nice one! I'm delighted. Good luck with it all! :)
Thank you. It's a lot faster teaching my students the scales etc..
Thank you too! Yes, it is a very accessible way for anyone to learn chords, scales and arpeggios. Thank you for using it. Martin
Just wow ! This brings the circle of fifths into a new light too, I have a better and more effective understanding moving forward ! YOUR A GOD SEND MY MAN ! Thank you
Hey, my pleasure! Delighted you are getting so much from this simple idea. Yes, it has so many ramifications that when it first hits you it’s like a train!
Simply amazing. So logical, so easy. Well done!!!!!
Thank you very much. I love the logic of it too. :)
Wonderful, thank you. I'm a drummer, but I want to be able to understand what the other players are doing.
My pleasure. I hope you shock them at one of the rehearsals by launching into Eb minor. :)
Learned this my first lessons as a 7 year old student. It may help for many beginners that are having difficulty in reading and increase chord memory. Learning scales along I I found helpful.
Wow! You got a good start there. Definitely great for beginners and visual learners. :)
Purchased & Printed for me (a beginner in Australia) ... so thanks, Martin !!! Just an FYI, on my MacBook Air/Cannon printer combo, the correct printing "Scale" is to "Fit to paper" ... not "Fit to printable area".
Fantastic! It’s my pleasure and thanks for that tip about the printing too.
That is awesome! I learned to play the guitar 26 years ago by using shapes, patterns and of course my ears.
Thank you very much. Yes, it's all about the shapes. :)
You’re a genius! Thanks for sharing this 🙏
I’ll take it. Thanks! 😂
Amazingly brilliant 👏
Thank you!!☺️
Very nice! As a guitar player, shifting scales and modes to different keys is quite visual and intuitive, almost second nature to me... it's great to see that it is also applicable to the piano in this manner. The bigger revelation, however, coming from your short video, is that your voice is your own and not AI...
Yes! You know it was when I took up the guitar as a teen from playing piano that I realised that the frets where equivalent to the back of the keys!
Brilliant! So simple and so useful! Thanks for sharing!
Yes! I love the simplicity of it. I get a buzz everytime someone says it blew their minds. :)
This is so amazing! Thank you for sharing!! My students will love it and I had a lot of fun with testing scales and chords just now. You have a fan now in Germany 😀🎹
Thank you for your kind words. Yes, I love showing this to my students. Some of them get a shock!
That the keys are same width at the root of the keys and that patterns can be visualized this way... have to say... is a brilliant observation!
Thank you! I love this revelation and still haven't gotten over it myself!!
You can add in maj/min chord inversions, and then I (do mi sol) IV (do fa la) V7 (si fa sol), or other chord patterns. This has so much potential also in jazz chord voicings too. You just changed my teaching, and I'm gonna call it the Martin Finn Method. Time to buy the "Everything Pack" and laminate them!
Yes, that's right. You are getting a lot out of this idea, it seems! One of my guides has chord inversions just like that. The jazz pack is in the works too. If you are having any trouble buying the pack, let me know. Martin :)
I've been playing the piano for over 30 years and never noticed this. Absolutely crazy. Really good for helping kids and adult learners get comfortable in new keys.
Crazy, right?! I think that everyone has a way of understanding these things only to find the right angle.
Well, you've earned yourself a new subscriber today, mate!
Hey hey! Thank you. 😊
As an experienced piano player I can say that the concept is not earth shattering. However, putting it in a visual like you have can most definitely help those who are starting out and learning their way around the board. Nice job
Thank you for your kind words. Not earth shattering maybe, but can be a game changer if you didn't see it.
It's earth shattering for those like myself who can't break through the technical jargon or visualize the spoken explanation.
@@martinfinnpiano absolutely 👍 keep up the great work
As earth shattering as any totally new idea on a 300 year old instrument can be. Changes how I teach.
It's kind of obvious that those patterns just move up and down. But remembering those patterns when the keys look different in various positions is difficult, the idea to print cards for this really is a great idea.
Great video. Will help a lot
Thanks very much. I'm so happy about that.
G'day Martin, this is awesome! This has definitely got me thinking about the pathways of modes, into relative minors etc. Thanks for sharing mate. Cheers!
Thank you! Yes, I find it so I interesting. If you haven’t already seen it, check out my video about the strange mirror world of modes. I’m remaking it into long form soon. :)
@@martinfinnpiano Ha! That's awesome Martin, I am just about to make a quick video mentioning your great channel and concept, and I'm going to share something very simplistic about modes and how to find them, and what they mean using this method. This is very cool. I always knew a scale was tone-tone-semitone etc, but the relation to the fact that the size of the notes on the piano is static is awesome. Congrats mate! I'm just in the process of building up my channel. This is loads of fun.
BLOODY BRILLIANT MATE!
Thank you for that!
In my music journey I’ve noticed I’ve developed or practiced playing with that concept with C as my guide. I was always in the right track I just needed confirmation I was doing the right thing . Thanks for confirming 😎
Yes, you were certainly on the right track. Most piano players I know see C major as the go to "golden" key and think of everything else in reference to it. :)
Absolutely amazing. Thank you.
Thank you very much! ❤❤
I took a few lessons and grew frustrated and eventually gave up, but this video just made everything click into place for me and I am going to give it another go. thanks!
Hey, that’s fantastic. I’m delighted to hear that and I wish you the best of luck.
wow. fantastic ..thank you
Thank you too!
Wow! This is incredible .
It left me motivated to practice every day. Keep on sharing these kind of knowledge with us, that you sir.
Happy to hear that! Will do. :)
A rare video that actually lives up to it's lofty promises. Incredible!
Thank you for that. Yes, I think if you didn't know it (and I didn't know it until I saw it one day) it is likely to knock you over!!
I'm a guitarist/bassist. I'm about to buy a piano soon. This just blew my mind!!! I know scales and chord structure already. The black keys I understood were the accidentals. But I never realized the spacing at the top of the keys were even. That makes a lot more sense than all half steps per fret as in guitar. I'm sure piano will be much more challenging, but the keyboard makes a lot more theoretical sense compared to the fretboard of six string guitar. It's all half steps too, but visually it's a lot more intuitive.
Thank you for that. Yes, the guitar is a lot less intuitive to play for the reasons you mention. The piano keys keep climbing half step by half step and this makes it so much easier to see chords, scales, melodies and plan arrangements.
@@martinfinnpiano people say to learn piano before other instruments, to learn theory, but in this regard I feel like guitar teaches more theory, and it will be easier to come to piano already knowing the steps and half steps. Both are awesome instruments, of course!
One person called this crutch, maybe them it is. Not everything is for everybody. For me, this is a great tool to expand access and demystify structures and distances. I have subscribed and have sent to my daughter who is a professional vocalist and songwriter. Thank you, I am considering whether to purchase what you offer as, no guarantee I will invest the time. In any case, thank you for your amazing insight. I have a greater understanding because of you!
Great comment. The revelation alone will help you a lot but if you want to purchase I will help you whatever way I can with the guides. My email is in the store.
This is incredible
Thank you very much!
This is absolutely incredible. Thank you so much Martin!
I really appreciate that. Thank you for the comment and good luck with the playing.
It is useful to understand this but to move combinations of notes around the keyboard you'll find that learning the intervals between the notes of the chord is much faster than writing things out on a piece of paper.
Eg all major chords (in any key) is a major 3rd and minor third interval. That's all you need to know. You can do this with any chord shape, 6th chords, 7th chords, sus chords, etc.
Another trick is to make the shape of a chord by putting your fingers for the white notes between the black notes; you can then move your hand around the keyboard and get that same shape for any other key (you need enough muscle control to keep your hand shape exactly the same, which most beginners can't do, once you've played for a couple of months you'll be able to).
Thanks for the comment. Yes, everyone has their own way of understanding. For me, I struggled with learning scales from books. Maybe it's my ADHD, but I was impatient for the information. I wanted to just play. When I discovered this, it was the best single musical revelation I have had. :)
love the simple and practical visualization ? I's also quite clear when one use the piano roll in a DAW
Thank you! Yes, you’re right about using MIDI on DAW. Very obvious in that setting. :)
Amazing info!
🤯
Thank you!! :)
Very cool and very useful !! Now I’ll have to work out how to comfortably “fit” them on my NI 61 keyboard controller.
If you need help with it, let me know. It’s all about using the scale function on your print dialog.
@@martinfinnpiano It won’t accept my card info! (I’ll try again soon)
I think maybe the “Link code” expired! Shall we try again?
We have a piano! I don't play myself (I can play simple things by ear) but 2 of my kids do have piano lessons. This makes me want to start learning to play!
It sounds like you have an ear for it and believe me, that’s half the battle. I hereby give you permission to become a piano player. Go for it!!
Absolutely brilliant revelation, thank you for sharing your smart and creative ideas. Genius tutorial ❤
Really appreciate that. The world should know these things!
This is so dope!
Im going to buy
Thanks
Thank you, Chris. If you are having any issues, let me know. :)
This is a great idea. I had been looking for a keyboard that could highlight different keys, but then I realized I could just use small pieces of colored tape or stickers for each key. This is even better.
You were on the right track! Thanks for your comment. :)
😮😲🤓
Amazing.. simple... easy... and must have...
Many...many.. thanks!
Thank you so much. I made it as easy and accessible as I could.
Thanks for this incredible revelation. I've never noticed this. I will use it for my piano students.
Thank you very much. Go for it!
this is actually amazing!
I think so anyway!
Wow! This is so incredible. Thanks a lot!
You're very welcome! Thank you. :)
Very useful. 👍👍
Thank you. I'm glad! :)
What a simple idea, so great though!
Glad you like it! Thank you! 🙏
Very clever Maestro Finn... You've motivated me to look further into this. Thanks a lot!
Thank you for that. I'm delighted to have that effect on you. :)
Tried today working like a charm 😊
Brilliant. I wouldn't lie to you!
Simple yet, brilliant!
Great comment. Thank you!
Excellent idea! Bought the Everything Pack :)
Thank you very much! If you need any help with it, let me know. :)
Awesome, Martin, thank you for sharing.
Thank you!
gread is just great to see the piano as a guitar.
Yes indeed. They are essentially the same but with a different set up.
Well done
Thank you!
Excellent Martin.
Thank you!!
This is pretty ingenious never occurred to me. This will be a great little trick for teaching my students
I know. It's there in plain sight and it took me years to notice. :)
wait til you find out about the musical STAFF, treble AND Bass .... WOW!!
Hee hee. 😛
Very clever!
Thank you! Cheers!
This was taught to me when I was about 5 years old. Thought everyone learning piano knew this!
No way! Not everyone knows as you can see from the comments but for those that made the discovery early in life, it is obvious.
@@martinfinnpiano Well I'm getting on a bit now but when I was a child everyone I knew who was also learning piano was being taught this. Don't know if it's in that case something that went out of favour for a while for some reason possibly?
Can't think why it would have though.
This absolutely amazing. Crazy to think that this video didn't even exist until a few weeks ago. I don't hardly know anything about music and have been frantically dabbling in anything I can in the hopes that something sticks. To give you some idea how bad I am I literally don't even know how to play Mary Had a Little Lamb on a single instrument.
But a few weeks back one of the instruments I have been dabbling in is a melodica (a breath powered mini piano for those who don't know). I started playing around with it and doing it "wrong" but I really saw the potential in the instrument. Wrong for a piano player, at any rate. But bear in mind I have no idea how to play piano! So I came up with the crazy idea to wrap my left hand around it and use it to play the black keys while my right hand fiddled with the white ones. (Poorly, I might add, because my hands don't work too well.)
But after seeing this I used your blues scale to hunt up and down the keyboard until I found a combination that works for me! So now with any luck I will have completely bypassed Mary Had a Little Lamb and hope to jump right into improvisational blues! (Bonus: Due to being able to use breath control a melodica can sound more like a sax than a piano. So it's utterly perfect for this kind of thing IMO.)
MIND = BLOWN.
LIFE = CHANGED.
Hey! Great comment here. It can be really hard to get started without a whole lot of knowledge. Even learning one scale like you have done with the blues scale can really help as it gives you a direction. Good luck with Mary and the playing!
Wow! How awesome. Thanks!
Thank you very much. I never tire of it!! :)
Subbed and like in under 2 minutes. great content
Welcome aboard and thanks!!
Fantastic. Decades of goofing off with piano keyboards, and I’d never seen it presented this way.
I've done my share of goofing off too! Yes, it's great to get an insight like this to make you realise it's not as hard as you thought.
Wow super amazing..thank you!!!!
Thank you so much in return!!
For me, no hacks! I just learned all the scales with enjoyment! In and out of lessons!
Horses for courses. :)
Great teaching tool thanks
My pleasure. Thank you. :)
This is indeed MIND BLOWING!
I told you! :)
While I didn’t get the visual things, this was part of standard point pedagogy when I was a kid (at least in my town).
No way. That town was ahead of the curve!
Why didn't _I_ think of that?!? especially when I was working through learning to play four scales in 12 keys. Great idea and obvious in retrospect.
Unreal, right? I had been playing for years before I noticed it! When I did it changed everything about the way I saw music. Instead of 12 keys I started imagining just one with 11 levels. :)
@@martinfinnpianoRedemtly I've been thinking that instead of teaching do re mi, they should teach 2-4-5. That is, root 2-4-5/7-9-11 root. As long as we're going to give interval-independent names to the notes, they might as well be useful names. similar thought process.
This is truly amazing.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate that!!
This irish man is pure genius.
Too kind but thank you!
Amazing to see this!!
Very much appreciated.
Thsnks!
Thank you!
I did chords in the same way years back this works 👏🏾
Wow. It seems that a lot of people found it out for themselves. It's such a rush when you see it for the first time.
