The perfect 5th is at the heart of how harmony works and these two chord progressions get their satisfying sound from this most consonant of intervals!

Writing "Satisfying" in any youtube video title is the easiest way to hook your audience, no matter the content. Well done.
-
I just bought myself a keyboard after watching many of these uploads and I am really enjoying my new music journey.
-
Thinking of B11 as A/B is really helpful. I'd watch a whole video on how to think of extensions that way because that's just how I conceptualise that stuff.
-
David plays songs that use these chords, but then he gets to Stevie Wonder. Stevie is on another level.
-
9:21 this chord has a special name. It's called a "NEAPOLITAN CHORD" which is a spicy subdominant chord that leads really nicely to the V of any key. I want to see songs that use that kind of chord.
-
That first sequence I call the "Mama, just killed a man" progression
-
Didn't expect MCR here!

i was not expecting to be weezered by david benett piano
-
Nicely done! The 6-2-5-1 changes are ubiquitous in jazz, of course, but I think what makes this work especially well in a pop context is that the first change is from the major root to its parallel minor, so it feels like not much of a change at all. This makes it a very smooth introduction, and an easy way to get onto the circle of 5ths to take us home.
-
I find these chord progression videos very helpful. I get a song out of most of them.
-
For variety, could also lean into the secondary dominant side more with all major or dominant 7th chords, like C A7 D7 G7 on a loop
-
I understood all of this the way you explained it. I feel like this is a major milestone for me in understanding music theory, because I've spent so much time not really understanding a lot of it. But the real mind-blowing part of this video is something I really didn't expect: I have never wanted any virtual instrument until you said "sympathetic resonance". Potential advertisers need to know that you're really good at showing people why they would want the product.

I can’t thank you enough for your videos. I’m a guitar student in Chicago, Illinois. I’ve learned so much about music and how it works, through your videos. Thank you helping me learn and grow as a guitar player and musician. Cheers!

Best musical info on the net!
-
Really really good - as always.
-
At this rate I would've squeezed in the ii V I as the "step 1" for why this works. It's everywhere because it works and this is an extension of it.
-
For 60 years my musical tastes have run toward hard and progressive rock, but it's nice to be reminded that "Killing Me Softly With His Song" is just a beautiful, beautiful song.
-
movin out, the opening from the Stranger- Billy Joel
-
Nice to see Dusty Springfield among the examples!❤

I've been learning Ukulele for the last 18 months. The information I get from your videos about music theory is exceptional. You're a great teacher, thank you.
