So clear. You speak at the same speed as my brain works. Legend

Low key one of the best music channels on the KZfaq.

Thirty seconds in and all I need to know has been explained. 😊

You're literally teaching everything I'm learning at Berklee online. If anyone has any doubts, this is the real deal. Thank you for these videos, it's helping me reinforce everything I've learned so far. Keep doing you my friend ✌🏼

These videos are great, all content, no filler and delivered in a clear way with just enough quirky humour. They also have a great balance of theory and actual usage. Perfect! Please keep em coming.

Honestly I've never learned how to use these so well in such a quick video too! Respect sir!

Thank you, so many videos I’ve seen on tritone substitution didn’t explain as well in 10 or 20+ minutes what you were able to explain clearly and succinctly in the first 3:30 of this one. You are a natural teacher

Tritone insertion had me dying 😂 but seriously please keep making videos. You are my favourite

Finally found someone that can explain tritone substitution in a way that can be easy to understand. Loved this video, and already subscribed to your channel. I really hope your channel grows and gains a lot of subscribers, you deserve it. Such a unique style to explain music. Cheers!

You are not only master at your craft, but also a master at being really clear in your teachings. I think i've commented this before, but your channel really deserves more subscribers and attention. Also, you seem like a really down to earth guy who deserves it. Very grateful for the great content. It has really kept me occupied since i've found your channel. I would like to share that this year my sister passed away due to cancer, and i haven't played guitar nor practiced music for several years, but i played on her funeral with her daughter singing and after that i have started coming back to music, it is my therapy.. And your content and the way you teach, helps a lot on how i can evolve my way to express myself through music and deal with the pain.. So thanks a lot, and i really really hope you can grow this channel to the extent it deserves. I hope i can do my share on your way and help come up with ideas for content/topics that would be interesting to learn deeper about. Thanks Michael, best regards from Sweden 🇸🇪❤

I've been playing piano now for over 40 years, a former weaver by occupation, a mathematics enthusiast - I love to think in patterns Your explanation and demonstration of tritones is the first time it made perfect sense for me Subscrbed and going back to see your other videos. Thanks for the video and keep up the amazing work.

You're reaction to the tri-tone insertion was so funny! :)

"We do like a nice little bit of voice leading like that..." 😂 Yes we do! Love it! SO CLEARLY DESCRIBED - the what, why and HOW!

Lovely as always , Maestro. thank you so much!

Another great video!! Many thanks

Excellent!

Good stuff! Your videos help me a lot :)

Once again I learned loads of stuff on a topic I thought I understood. Thanks!

Great video. Well paced and explained

So good! You’ve inspired my next video haha. Your production quality and teaching style are all top notch

Best Tutorial I have watched so far Thank you so much!

I'll never forget how these subs work, your explanations are absolutely clear. Cheers!

Fantastic. Edifying and entertaining. Brilliant.

Very interesting and always informative. Always pick up something. Thanks Michael.

I'm with you on thinking of them as a "flat" thing. Brilliant lesson!

Incredible, first time a tritone explanation finally makes sens to me !! thank you soooo much !!!

Thanks forever for that wonderfull explanation! I took note of every point. Gracias!

Great stuff! The screen graphics showing the chords are a magnificent aid. I appreciate the refresher in music theory ..

just what I needed to understand this concept. Thanks so much!

So glad I found your channel it's really wonderful and your teaching style is perfect.

Mind blown! Thanks for the clarity. Compared to other videos on the topic yours has been the clearest. I’ll be watching that secondary dominants video next!

Just found your channel today and man… people in the comments aren’t kidding. You’re great at teaching this stuff. I’ll be recommending your channel to people for sure. Thanks!

Probably the best video on the subject I’ve seen. Thanks so much!

Super great channel. Michael, you're amazing. Just gone through this a second time to help drum the ideas home.

Your tha Goat!!! Keep going your content is so clear and simple.

I think this is now my favourite channel on KZfaq. Thanks heaps for your contribution man

Excellent lesson! I can't wait to apply these ideas into music. Looking forward to more lessons.

Beautiful

Great video I was extremely confused on this concept thank you for explaining it thoroughly 👏

Just stumbled across your channel and after watching a few videos it was an easy subscribe. You and Kurt Rosenwinkel are going to get my playing more pointed in the right direction (for me at least) for sure. Keep up the great work.

Great stuff!

Thank you. Your explanation is just exceptional! You now gained a fan! More than happy to subscribe to your channel.

Great explanation! Very practical

Really really good video, I understood it very well🙏

the best explanation for tritone subs. thank you.

Clear and versatile perspectives on actual tritone use...Another outstanding deconstruction 🙌🙌

Best video explaining tritone sub. Excellent work

Truly one of the best explanations I've ever heard on the topic! Great video!

Excellent video. Thank you

You are a true genius at teaching your art 🙏🙏🙏 Thank you so much 🙏

Fantastic teacher, you are my favorite in youtube. Thank you so much!

thank you I really needed this

This is excellent. Immediately subscribed :)

So instructive, informative yet comical "insertions" here and there! Love it, great stuff will be watching more of your videos!

Hey!!! Awesome explanation and practice about tritone substitutions. There are new ways to see the same subject and yours was pretty clear!!! Really appreciated.

So well explained. I soaked up everyword thanks!

6:23 this explains all the variations of "Autumn leaves" measure 22. Great video bro. Subscribed

Impressed. You can actually explain this, and show how to use it in an understandable way. In 40 years of music, I have to say I've never encountered this. Thanks, and subscribed!

Thanks a lot! For the first time I understand that stuff 👍

Thank you very much. It's very clear!

Really great teaching session! Thank you.

The way u help on how it can used is fantastic mate.....

Superb the way you integrate graphics with the explanation makes it crystal clear. Not all teachers can communicate the stuff they know... best video on Tritone Substitution that I've seen, and I've watched a lot!

Very helpful!

Love it! ❤

always the best: you add something to the regulars "it's this" or "use that" common in youtube. That why and the esamples are truly inspiring. Thanks

Your videos are super informative.

Excellent !!!

Thank you so much sir ❤️❤❤❤❤

Came here from the secondary dominants video, I'm definitely subscribing. This is so useful for "self-taught" people like me and, contrarily as one might think, there aren't a lot of channels that provide as good explanations as you do. Thanks for the great content! 🙌

wow...awesome explanation...i finnaly got it

Good lesson. Thank you

Whaaaat! First video i see with you! That really made sense! Especially while following along on the guitar, it really makes sense considering the guitar is build of fourth’s or fifth’s. Seeing the zig zag pattern moving down the fretboard, and the tritone sub, is just across…. Idk if this makes sense, but its just awesome to begin to understand and apply the thing im learning🤟 You deserve a sub dawg!

Thank you for your explanations. I like arranging brass and woodwind quintet with jazz-style chords. I'm a horn player and I'm constantly learning.

You are an excellent music teacher!!!! Music can be a puzzle but you have the gift to clearly teach the parts of the puzzle and then demonstrate how these pieces fit together for the student to understand the bigger picture. Thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge with all of us.

Thank you.

Thanks for pointing out that the Tritone Sub is basically just a downward chromatic resolution (ii7-bII7-I). I’m a autodidact, and so for years the whole “tritone away from the V7” stuff just seemed too cerebral to me to utilize until I realized how intuitive it is to just think: *dominant 7th a half-step above the target chord*

Magic 🎶💯🎸

What a brilliant lesso. Thank you so much.

This is great stuff

Great lesson. Thank you.

Am not a pianist but this kind of explanations makes mi open mi mind on the bass so clearly

Very good Thank you so much

This is real , I do hear such moves in Gospel and Jazz music , thanks for your wonderful teaching . Most people don't really explain it vividly for beginners like this , they are always in a hurry. Thanks you sooooooooooo much

great video, you're an awesome teacher

Such a pleasure to listen to your clear explanations and examples. I covered music theory in school about a hundred years ago, but your examples are so perfect they have me revisiting my composition approach. -> You are the bomb 😎

this covered quite a bit. thanks!

Years ago, I asked a University of Georgia music professor to analyze Allan Holdsworth's "Spokes". He said the song uses tritone substitution to build tension and reward the listener with resolution. I appreciate hearing your breakdown and demonstration.

Seriously love the interludes.. please do more,like you did it with the sub dominant video

Great explanation! You hace a new subs! Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷

love the calm vibes from your videos, very unique comparing to music channels. Subcribed!

Thanks you thank you thank you !

That just helped alot. Good explanation.

Excellent Smithers

Love the #II. Makes sense. Richer sound also.

awesome, the sharp 11 bit made a click in my head

Tri-tone interposition! sounds more official than insertion :) thanks for the knowledge Michael!

I'm never going to remember all of this but I like the easy tip that the substitution is a flat second up from the "Target" one chord. Also, I now know what a shell chord is. 👍

This was extremely well done! Thank you for taking the time to explain this so thoroughly! If you’re reading this comment, please keep it up 🖤😊

This is a stunning video. Easy like and subscribe to this channel... Very informative and succinct, which I like.
