What an awesome video! I learned a lot! Thanks! ????
Brilliant!
This was surprisingly interesting.
Thank you!, it really help for me as amateur
Such a pleasant surprise.
So inspiring to see.
Can't wait for the next one.
So well presented.
The creativity here is unmatched.
Ok so when using passing notes under a chord, do they have to be notes from the same scale that the chord belongs to?
Every second was worth it.
The effort is clear.
This should be in the spotlight.
Everything about this is great.
I can't believe how good this is.
Such an awesome concept.
Beautiful visuals.
❤
it's almost midnight and im watching this knowing damn well im never gonna use any of the concepts in this video
Lots of great info here.
Excellent violnist!
I was not ready for the mma guy to knock down the notes, that was hilarious
I appreciate the principles here but most of what is being played really couldn't be considered a melody, more just background.
easy
this sounds like the theme to the movie the room by tommy wiseau
also, David, you should take a comb, hold the comb at the base of you eye brow then take an electric razor to trim it. super easy. i just do it each time i shave
I just wanted to write rock melodies… now I'm composing classical music… amazing tutorial.
