I love this dude and his silly sense of humour. He's that teacher that everyone likes!

He has more energy than me in the 20's.... I am in the 20's

I wish any of my music teachers were like this guy. I would have learned so quickly as he knows how to keep my attention and explain things easily.

When you stick around to watch a video that teaches you things you've been knowing for years...you know the content is good :) great as always Guy!

Two hours of your videos did more for me than two semesters of music theory long ago. Thank you!

Guy, I really wish I'd had a music teacher like you 45 years ago so I could now be a burnt out composer rather than a burnt out programmer! ;)

I couldn’t agree more, Guy has renewed my passion for music; real music. I have been playing for over 50 years and I was BORING! Thank you so much Guy, I have found my inner musical child again. You project so much joy in your videos it is infectious

thank you so much for going to the extra trouble of moving cars to show your point. i don’t know why, but it creates a visual picture in my brain about the theory. now i’ll never forget it, I’ll just picture the cars moving thank you.

The day is suddenly brighter! Why? Guy posted a video. Guy's presentations are what does it.

Honestly sir... nobody, NOBODY has worked as hard as you did, using the real car analogy, to explain the first inversion of a chord. Now, students will NEVER forget the system! Respect.

A fantastic teacher who makes you want to learn more.

My world is better because of you, Guy!

I'm rather confused.... As the Range Rover is black, wouldn't this be C minor???

Guy, you put so much humor, effort and creativity in your videos that I watch it even if I know the topic very well. Thank you.

You're so good

Amazing, the sunglasses of doubt didn't fall down. The sound is so much better Guy.

I know many people don’t like music theory, but it really does make life much easier. I’ve only begun my songwriting/composing journey quite recently, but I’ve been a musician for 25 years. I started playing guitar when I was 15. It’s been my knowledge of music theory that has helped me the most as I’ve transition to making music on my computer. I’ve dabbled with piano some, took lessons for a year when I was a kid but didn’t take to it. It wasn’t until after I started playing guitar and understood how to form chords all over the neck that I started enjoying the piano. Guitar may be my first instrument for performing, but piano has become my first instrument for writing, and that’s only because I learned how to translate chords I played on guitar onto the piano. Oh, and Guy, I love your channel. I signed up for How to Write Music over year weekend, and it’s been a real creative boost. Also, I can relate to your feelings about leaving the news business for a better life. In my former life I was a news videographer here in the States. I left that world behind about 12 years ago in search of a better life. These days that’s as a commercial video editor, but I also have a life outside of work (which didn’t use to be true) and so I am able to learn and grow in my journey towards being a professional musician (currently seeking the production library path since I am so familiar with that route due to my commercial work). Glad I found your channel and courses to help me along the way! Cheers from Louisiana!

Soooooo underrated! This guy is the best music teacher ever

I took music theory courses 20 years ago in community college ....then applied almost none of it in my rock cover band. I've recently started playing around with a DAW and orchestra plugins. Watching Guy's videos has been amazing. Much of this I remember from classes - and so much that I never learned. He teaches in such a fun way. This is the best music instruction channel on KZfaq. So appreciative for this content.

Very useful. As someone who is not classically trained in any way, this is just a great way to liven up my dull progressions

Love the energy in your videos! Always a great way to start the day

dudee i love this guy he's so good at theory and HUMOUR ofc.

You are such a genuine, interesting enthusiastic and generous person. Thanks. Your videos are worth your effort. I learn and enjoy all the time. I am sure that many others would agree.Thanks!!!

Perfect for a day like this, thanks Guy, seriously, keeping that good spirit up.

Guy is an absolutely amazing teacher. Thank you, sir.

Always good to re-cover the basics - I've been doing this wrong for 30 years!

Just had the great fortune of finding your channel, you are a legend good sir

Guy, back at it, with the most creative music teaching videos on KZfaq!

Amazing as always! This video on inversion explanation is one of the best out there!

This channel gives me life.

YOU ARE AN AMAZING TEACHER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

This has changed my life. Thank you, Guy!!!!

Seriously how could anyone possible dislike this video? It was pretty much all review for me, but I learned and enjoyed every moment of the video.

Sir! I love your studio and the place where it is! In the nature! That’s what I’m dreaming of too! Amazing! Thank you for teaching us and giving us musicians ideas and Tipps! You have a big fan from Vienna, Austria! 😊

Just found this channel today and it's already my favourite

Thanks, Guy

I love the way you explain things. You have a great sense of humor and I LOVE it

i hope you are doing well sir. Just found your channel a few days ago and your videos are great! I have similar passion for writing music. Started using inversions intentionally after you made clear how it works. I'm writing a "Stradivari cello" bass line under a quickly changing chord folk/sea shanty-like chord progression, and those inversions make it sound so much more interesting. THANK YOU

Often it's the simple things we sometimes overlook which could make or break that burst of inspiration. Thanks for sharing the knowledge. Much appreciated, and couldn't have found this video at a better time 👍

Another great video! Bringing together fractured pieces of knowledge in my mind. Many thanks! (And thanks for the keyboard in the upper left corner showing the notes you’re playing - nice touch & big help)

You have great enthusiasm.

Love this guy

Guy, I wish we could meet. Your material is super helpful. As you may remember, I'm your accordionist of the group. I do inversion quite often, but your introduction as a base line is easily translated to the LH of my instrument. You are making me better.

thanks a lot grandpa... love u so much. keep sharing

Thanks for the helpful tips, Guy!

Excellent, yet again - many thanks

Such an effective teacher, humorous and brilliant!

I love the ENERGY Guy, it Makes the lessons feel better to me.🤞🏾😁

I love you.You make things so interesting and I like how enthusiastic you are.

Didn't know that my favorite played chords are mostly inversion like C/E and I've been using its almost every time i play with my guitar etc.Thanks for clarifying this and its a knowledge boost knowing what inversions actually do and the advantages of using it.

I love that car thing, is one of the best resources I've seen in a music video, amazing as always Guy!!

Your the GUY that everyone would want to learn from! Entertaining videos which got me learning...

A definite 'So THAT's what you do!' video. Had done this unknowingly and wondered why the chord sounded different...

excellent video and production value :D Thank you so much!

my favorite chord progression with inversions I've learnt recently is instead of the typical chord 5 to 1 you go from chord 5 (add 7th) in 3rd inversion to chord 1 in 1st inversion (5^7d to 1b)

Amazing Video Mr. Michelmore, thank you

You are really fantastic, I am a italian pianist and i recently discovered your channel thanks to a friend who produces in cubase. He recommended me your videos and they are really always very sharp, useful taken care of, but above all they are very funny. What you do in this channel is simple, useful and fun. Hope you make a million followers, you have great competence. Forgive my bad English XD

Wow! Thank you so much for these fantastic videos!!

Another fun and excellent video. Thank you!

We are learning from a true master!

Thank you…..enjoyed that.

Brilliant tutorial thanks 🔥😄👌🏾

You are a great teacher

A new favorite hangout... thanks!!

Yes guy! Cheers, I definitely did not know this, how it relates to bass is something g iv wanted to know for years

Thanks Guy! Can't wait to get home after work to try this out

Superb video (as always).

THE BEST!!!!!!!

Doesn't matter how much you know .. there's always something you can learn from this guy.

I'm glad I watched this video, despite knowing what inversions are. It reminded me of the concept of making strange chord progressions based on shared notes, rather than a scale. So I wrote this strange progression: Gadd9 F6(b5) Em7 D6 Abm7

Bravo Guy on great videos. Most of the topics I know very well, but your refreshing take and humor make it really enjoyable as a refresher as well. Nicely done and you have a nice home studio to boot! Thanks for sharing your videos and making new/challenging topics fun and interesting. I like your video on Dorico too, I just migrated to that from Sibelius about 6 months ago and am already gearing up pieces in that. Well done, sir!

You went full original Top Gear. So Awesome love it.

You make the best youTube videos when it comes to teaching music. Thank you sir 🙏 love from India 🇮🇳 ❤

In this video you said you’re not into making anybody learn what they don’t want. I have been enrolled in our local community college’s music theory 1 class for 6 weeks. We are yet to cover inversion. We’ve been learning “step wise,” solfege, curwin hand signs, etc. I don’t want to talk trash about the course, but I definitely do not envision a time where I’ll be using those “skills:” It’s too late to drop the course without affecting my transcript, so I continue on. Thank you for the funny and informative methods you use to teach music theory!!!

I love these videos...

Very interesting and fun, thanx, learned a lot

Thanks for the tips.

I love it he makes it fun to learn piano

Quality content Sir. RESPECT!!

I just love to watch your videos 🙏 Great

Loved the cut to the cars lol. I'm just starting out with piano, and your KZfaq channel is REALLY making me consider your Music Theory course. Keep up the awesome work! :)

I am a VERy visual learner. I LOVE HIM!!!

👏👏👏👏 the thing with the cars is sooooo cool!!!!!

Light bulb! This is excellent, Guy. I have done this many times, but never knew they were inversions. Embarrassed, yet enlightened :) Thank you

very affable!! gotta luv him..man.

An exercise I use to force myself to learn inversions. Play the chords of an entire song within one octave. Could be root to root or any other starting note you choose. Also leads to an economy of motion.

Again, this old man is crazy hauahua best music channel ever! Haha

Another Great Video

Came for the music teaching, stayed for the mental breakdown haha and the music teaching. This comment aplies to all your videos i've seen. Thank you so very much for being this nice (fun) and informative

Thanks

Guy, i love your madness ‼️😊

Love the effort you put in to moving the car, well done :-)

You have a nice sense of humor sir. Thanks for the video :)

Sir, I love you.
