  1. this is moree of a question tthen a hate comment, butt does anyone knoiw how they managed to make everycord sound boring and tthe same as tthe lastt? i am loking for cool sounds and theses all feltt so vanilla

  2. I read the comments and noticed many people felt the same way. While I liked the humor, the notations seemed to not be standard. I'm too new at music theory to have to try to research things myself, I don't think I'll sub. But I'll watch one just to be entertained.

  3. What makes people so arrogant??

    Anywho, thanks for the video it was awesome and not only did I learn a few progs. but I also learned diff notation. So if I'm ever jamming with a keys player, now we won't spend the first 30 minutes arguing and telling the other person they're wrong ?
