I hope this helps some people understand a bit more when we're talking about all those numbers! Please leave any additional questions below and I'll try my best to get back to as many as I can. Also, I'm so appreciative of you all even watching these videos, and that is more support than I could have ever imagined.

PLEASE MAKE MORE OF THESE As a teen who's been playing classical for 10 years, I learned the theory but not how to apply it. I'm trying to make the switch to jazz (it just seems so much more fun), and, during quarantine, videos online have been my only source of guidance. Thank you so much!

If you've been playing for 10 years then I assume you have at least moderate reading and technical skills. So now what I encourage you to do to help you improve with jazz (mainly improv) is to transcribe pieces that you like (listen, learn how to play, then write them down) and transcribe the chords as well. Once you do that, you can find all the II-V-Is and take the licks from those parts and incorporate those into your own improv.... Wow, that was a lot... Good luck!

Charles we have no doubt you are a great musician, but I am sure to say you are a incredible teacher as well.

I really want to take a second to just appreciate how Charles discusses monetization elements of his channel. Telling us not to stretch ourselves too thin, and that watching the videos alone is support enough, and even the way he introduces and thanks sponsors. Not just annoying statements like COP THE NEW MERCH and OUR SPONSOR FOR TODAY IS... You are one of the most mature KZfaqrs when it comes to these things and you really make it feel like you are humbled by your massive growth over the past year and it is just so very refreshing. Thanks, Charles!

In addition to being super smart/talented/fucking hilarious/a great teacher (you really are invitingly concise and simple without loss of accuracy with your theoretical explanations), I really do think you have the best attitude, the most integrity, and the most genuine humility of any KZfaqr I've ever seen (and I watch a shit ton of KZfaq)! You inspire me to be a kinder and more joyful person with every enthusiastic video you make (serious or facetious). Wholesome and infectiously exuberant entertainment like this that makes us smile, laugh, fascinated, and learn is more than just entertainment; it relieves any stress of the day and makes pent up frustration melt away - why should I frown if I can be like Charles and smile all the time?

To the left of two blacks is to the right of two blacks from his perspective". Music is like my third language, but as with my two other languages, I'm not able to read mirrored.

I still relatively new to music, and this is probably the best example of teaching chord voicing. It seems to be something that a lot of teachers take for granted, where they just go all over the piano, and I'm just like "whoa, there!". I have a hard time imagining chords as anything other than triads within one octave. I never know when to spread it out, and where to place voicings

Charles! I love all of your content, and I have learned so much in addition to tons of laughs all the time. Could you possibly put more graphics on screen of what chords you are playing to help keep things clear when you are explaining a concept? Nothing crazy, but like when you put the 5 and 1 up when you explained how you did the Imagine key changes. Keep up the amazing work. I can not wait for what comes next. Thanks for keeping a smile on my face throughout some rough times!

This video just cleared up so much for me. I knew about the ii-V-I progression in more of a theoretical and basic level, but this just made it click for me in terms of practicality. Cant wait to start utilizing this in my practicing.

DUUUUUDDDEE I've been struggling to gain an intuitive understanding of the ii V I for YEARS and you made it SO EASY.The phrases "leading tone" and "common tone" swam to me from long-forgotten band memories and you BLEW MY MIND when you did whole "v in front of every new key" trick. I have a whole new understanding of the keyboard now. THANK YOU SO MUCH, you are AWESOME and I'm BUYING A SHIRT. I would love to see further videos, perhaps deconstructing how keys can change within a song? BLESS YOU HAVE A NICE DAY

I enjoy your content so much! You make learning concepts interesting and fun. I think something that would enhance your videos (especially these types of videos) would be a "top-down" camera on the piano. Just so we the audience would be able to see you playing the piano not "backwards" and would give us another angle to keep us engaged. But I still think you're doing an amazing job!

Love the explanation! I never knew that I needed to know why a "2-5-1" felt finalized... and why I needed to know what "2-5-1" even meant. Great stuff! I'm going to look around for it, but if you can guide me quicker I'd love to know where I could just listen to you just play jazz (like an album maybe?).

I took an introduction to improvisation class at a local college. The class had no prerequisite, so there were music majors, a guy with zero music background, the whole range. The prof made us play ii-V-I’s all the way around the circle of fifths (counterclockwise in the fourths direction) on the piano no matter what your instrument was. That’s how important it was to him that we grasp this.
