Music Theory Minute #1 - What's a Chord Extension?
Hey guys, here's the first episode of Music Theory Minute, a new weekly series meant to give easily digestible music theory tidbits on a regular release schedule. Don't worry, these videos don't count as 'mainline videos', and I of course won't be charging for them!
The idea behind this series is that each week, the 'topic of the month' will be explored in increasing depth. This video is meant to introduce the idea of a chord extension to those who who may be unfamiliar with the concept, with each subsequent week's video exploring gradually more advanced aspects of chord extensions in music. Then, after a month, we'll move onto a new topic and start at an easy level again.
Let me know what you think of this format, and if there are ways I could improve it!

While chord extensions are nothing new to me, this premise means I'm already giddy to see what sorts of cool insights you have as you dive deeper in. A great first video to a fantastic idea!
I LOVE THIS YOU'RE THE BEST
This is a brilliant idea . )
Hey! Your videos are incredible. I'm really inspired by you! Keep your great work!
This is TERRIFIC.
I love this!!! So glad you're doing this series
Hey! Love your videos. I like the idea you're going for here where each video gets a little more complicated. But with such a short video, it's important to stay right on the topic at hand and not deviate too much, if at all. You might already have this planned to talk about in a future minute, but assigning intervals to inverted chords is always a topic that sparks confusion. In any case, looking forward to more!
YEEESSSS!! There's so much awesome theory in your videos but sometimes the deeper stuff gets a little hard to follow for less experienced/formally trained musicians. Establishing the building blocks with this series should help make your mainline videos even more enjoyable to a broader audience. Really enjoyed the format and quality in this one. Looking forward to more!
