They're helping me a lot! I'm a visual learner, so being able to watch you is a great help to me. It really speeds up the learning curve. I'm getting your emails, but I don't know what happened to the ebook. Either I never downloaded it or I lost it. Would you please re-send the link? Thanks a bunch!

I haven't much knowledge of chords as previously played folk instrument which had a button for chords so never knew how constructed and couldn't quite work it out. Learning classical with tutor enjoying that as well. All in all great stuff, hours of amusement for me.

I have been taking piano lessons for about 4 years, and this material was never covered for me. It is what I was looking for as I am very good to play by ear, but was looking for the understanding of patterns for accompaniment. WONDERFUL! My teachers are not comfortable with playing by ear (or by a fake book) and could only teach with the music notes in front of us, that is good to know also, but I will use this now to enhance my playing. I understand that some of it might be basic, but you are right to show the basics and then progress, as it is good review for some and for me helped with the ear playing! THANKS SO MUCH!!!

All 7 videos on Chords 101 lesson you've sent me, I actually learn them in one sitting (almost 5 hours) rather than 7 days as specified. What I mean, it’s because I got inspired while you are giving guidance as demonstrated in your videos. The way you made the course Chords 101 simplified, made me interested and inspired. I am actually singing now with my acquired skill from your great way of learning the piano chords, though I am not fast yet, but I do appreciate that I am now moving and learning with confidence. I enjoy very much your left-right-left-right and the left-right-right. Also I appreceiate much about figuring the Chords in your method of counting 01234-0123 for the major chords and the 0123-01234 for the minor chords. I no longer dependent to chords chart that I have in front of my keyboard, in fact I am no longer interested to have it in front of my keyboard. I am very blessed with your gift in music and you completely inspired me to appreciate music with piano myself. What is surprising to me I thought at my age of 54 I can not learn anymore playing piano even for Chords only, but I am actually learning now because of what you have impart me from your person. God Bless you as always. Dennis D. David (Philippines) Hello Chris.

I want to learn to play 100% by ear. I'm stubborn, but willing to learn. Do you find students learn chords/inversions more quickly by following the pattern in this video, than struggling with the Circle of Fifths relative minors? Or would I be better to continue the aspect I already know? Chris, I’m one of those awkward people who have a fair amount of theory from paper. I want to learn to play 100% by ear.

You are making an impact as I am picking up the instrument thanks to people like you. I am finding that now that I have most chords and their extentions and inversions under my fingers, my challenge is the rhythem. Especially when playing left hand bass. Most online vids don't concentrate on that aspect of playing, which at this point of my developement, is the most important. Hey Chris,
