I really love this method of teaching; he's ostensibly presenting these concepts as exploits or cheats (a sort of click-bait shortcut cover) but then just doing basic music theory in an approachable and less theory-heavy way. By avoiding the jargon (calling it a one-chord wonder rather than a Isus2 chord) and sticking to the more important practical elements, his presentation is just so much more beginner-friendly without having to sacrifice efficiency or slow things down. As a prospective teacher, I think I'd learn a lot from the way that he decides to teach

It makes me pretty sad to hear you say that. This is presented as an all round technique that can be used on “all pop music”. As you said, it’s very good clickbait, beginners will be very impressed by it. But truth is, anyone who puts in the time to learn this technique and then try to use in different songs and different constellations, will be very disappointed. It does not work for all styles of pop, and it’s espacially bad for accompanying a singer. An amature singer would feel quite lost as the chords are way less clear and it all blends together. A professional singer might want to paraphrase and improvise and this technique locks him/her in a very basic and limiting sense of harmony. It will also only work without any other harmony instruments joining in. It works fine when he does it with drums, but add a guitar and the sound would be very muddy. It is sold as a quick fix. But you’re doing the student a big disservice. I would feel extremely bad having my student come back next week to say: “I tried your technique in band practice and it was a total failure”. Not fair to the student at all.

@@ahappysongDK93 that's a really good point I hadn't thought of. Copy-pasting a root sus2 chord onto every song is going to give some pretty mixed results and will overall probably limit the overall harmonic freedom of expression. It sounds fine when you have nothing else in that high range but yeah, I guess it would sound pretty bad with any other chordal (or countermelodic?) accompaniment within that range. A better approach might be deconstructing how/why this technique works to both situate it within its context and create a more holistic understanding of the theory that can be applied elsewhere..... Given me a lot to think about
@ahappysongDK93

@@sugarqbs It's a cool technique for sure. I would introduce it to the student, when we're working on a song where it's relevant, and then stress the limitations of it. Encourage the student to try it out on other songs, but use their ears to assess whether it actually sounds good. For more advanced students you could go into the theory of when it works and when it doesn't, but that's individual to each student, whether they respond to heavy theory or not.

I play keyboard for over 28 years, and after a so long time, I got it that the "secret" or "recipe" to make a harmony look more closer to pros is a 9. When you add a 9 to your chord (C+9, D#9, G7+/9 etc), your harmony becomes a little bit "spacial" or something "transcendental" I guess. However, as everything, don't put 9 on entire harmony because it will get weird or maybe "fussy".

@joaomq85

@@theseventhharlot909 hi there! A 9 is 1 note above your key. Example: if you're hitting C major, to get a C9 chord, just include D note to your chord. But, that rule you shouldn't apply on every chord. Usually, you add a 9 only to your main key chord (in our case, C major) and for this example you could add a 9 to F major, which 9 note would be G, so your F chord (made of F, A and C) should contain a G. I suggest you give some google about harmony tricks and you'll certainly find someone talking about 9.

Beginning at 6:50, you are playing a syncopated figure (second L.H. chord in each bar), whereas what is written is straight two beats (1 2 3 4 ) on each accompanying chord or note.
