The FASTEST way to improve your chord progressions - Inversions 

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

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.

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

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! ;)

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!

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

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

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.

You're so good

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

A fantastic teacher who makes you want to learn more.

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.

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.

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!

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

My world is better because of you, Guy!

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

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

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

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

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)

Thanks for the helpful tips, Guy!

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

You have great enthusiasm.

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

Amazing Video Mr. Michelmore, thank you

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

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

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!!!

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

Another fun and excellent video. Thank you!

Brilliant tutorial thanks 🔥😄👌🏾

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

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

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 👍

Such an effective teacher, humorous and brilliant!

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! 😊

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!

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

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

Excellent, yet again - many thanks

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

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

Superb video (as always).

Very interesting and fun, thanx, learned a lot

Guy, back at it, with the most creative music teaching videos on RU-vid!

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

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

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

A new favorite hangout... thanks!!

Thanks, Guy

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

Quality content Sir. RESPECT!!

I just love to watch your videos 🙏 Great

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

You are a great teacher

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

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

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

Thank you…..enjoyed that.

Soooooo underrated! This guy is the best music teacher ever

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.

This channel gives me life.

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

Thanks for the tips.

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 RU-vid. So appreciative for this content.

Excellent Guy...!!! Greetings from México

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

*******Superbly brilliant as always!! I cannot get enough of his videos! He oozes charisma all the damn time! So effortlessly glorious & wonderful to watch!!!! *******

I just found your channel. Great stuff man. I look forward to more! Subbed!

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.

Another Great Video

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

Love this guy

thank you for the cars and drone visual

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

We are learning from a true master!

I love these videos...

very affable!! gotta luv him..man.

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

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 it he makes it fun to learn piano

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

Guy, i love your madness ‼️😊

Very good result and I like it with the car example and this was a great idea, Sir , so thank you for your helpful Great Tutorial today .👍

Thanks so much :) I really hope you get more recognized

Great teacher, not easy to make music theory fun, It is fast learning for me, thank you

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

I have the music theory and how to write music...very helpful to my music!

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

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

Love your T-Shirt sir ❤️

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

ninth! cheers mate, I love your uploads.

Thanks

WONDERFUL

THE BEST!!!!!!!

That is the most hilarious way to explain inversions I have - and very likely will - ever seen. Thanks Guy 🤣

Excellent introduction to inversions! Nice sesame street like opening scene.
