I really understand why my german fellas chose you as a tourguide because you're the best tourguide through the maps of music theory, history and genres on this channel
I really don’t get the gender split. I operate a music YT channel myself and have a similar split. And it’s not like I exclusively focus on traditionally masculine music either.
Really, really cool personal video. I do not play piano, but I am a working musician that is always in search of more theory knowledge. Your channel has helped me flesh out a few ideas that were foreign to me (I'm self-taught), so I appreciate that. Watching your videos are like mini college lectures that I never had the money to pay for! I thank you for that.
What's a pewdiepie?
It's so funny you were approached by Shen Yun/Falon Gong, glad you turned them down. Bizarre what crazy religious cult stuff western audiences will be willing to swallow if you frame it as "the Chinese Communists HATE this!!!".
The land owner thing is lord of the manor. Which isn't the same as being in the house of Lords.
But yeah, you can't buy land or be a lord. Else, everyone would become a lord after they buy a house.

Very talented young man. I've learned more about music theory from Youtubers like David and Rick (Beato) than I ever did at university, 40 years ago!
so, are you a Brighton Hove Albion supporter?
Greetings from Germany👋
You're my personal music theory treasure🎶🤗
i realized now that you're reaching 1M subs. i'm so proud as i'm watching your videos for like 4 years!
87% of your viewers are male? Haha! How odd?
Are Beatles fans predominantly male? Radiohead?
Haha – I know Stefan Pinnow – he was the host of my favorite childhood show called Disney Club – greetz from Germany
Hi David,
I’ve been watching your videos for a long time! Maybe even since 2018!
You have always had such an easy-to-understand way of explaining even the most complex musical concepts. You are an amazing teacher with incredible experience and understanding of music! You have probably helped teach every one of your viewers with your steady and patient explanations, and the large amount of topics you have covered.
Thank you for all the work you do!
500k of those Brazilian views are probably from me. Sorry, man, I know the accuracy of those analytics are important, but I just couldn't help myself.
No way you were on Wunderschön😂 Legendary TV show in weatern Germany. Everyone knows at least one episode of it
Thanks David for taking the time to tell us about your career and your anecdotes! Your explanatory videos (especially about modes) really help me to understand a lot of things about my favourite songs (by the Beatles, of course), and I'm not the only one!

David Bennett has more guitar players as listeners than piano players?
I've followed your current channel since its inception, and now have three of my grandsons – those most involved in music – and my youngest, band-member son, all subscribed. Two are in BC, one in Oz, and my son at Cambridge. Each having been or currently being cathedral choristers, as was I, we wondered whether your interest in music theory began the same way, as is the case with many British musicians.
Loving the 3D Pipes screensaver on your computer there! Quite fitting that the laptop I'm using to watch this has Bliss as the desktop background!
It seems ironic that a service that is supposedly aimed at making cooking food more convenient… Isn't accessible to vegans.
I reckon Google could tell you were hacked because the hackers showed suspicious activity, which is to say, they didn't mention The Beatles or Radiohead.
The hacking is such a big fear. It's so nerve-wracking to try and grow as a content creator and accept sponsorships and collaboration. SO glad you were able to recover everything without loss!
Love you man !!!!
You are ONE big HERO in our little paths towards quality music education…..
God bless & Health …. Much love from Sri Lanka…. 🎉🎉🎉🎆🎆
Omg, you live where Royal Blood is from. Greetings from Mexico🇲🇽✌🏽
You should tell us the name of the malware, so that others can avoid it!
Congratulations David, it was nice to learn a little more about you. I have enjoyed your channel and learned a great deal from you. May you continue to grow and thrive.
1M subscribers on the horizon
Your channel is amazing man. You essentially taught me music theory in the most simple way and then took my understanding to a whole new level. Preciate it 👍🏿💙
11: You just plagiarized the thumbnail of hbomberguy's latest video! xD (apparently, you both have some bones to pick with Youtube)
you’re my favourite music theory account, like at least three of your videos come on per day for me
You are among the best music youtubers, always interesting to watch.
Yeah I clicked phony links before and it’ll always say ‘failed to download.’ Or something like that. I always scramble to change my password whenever that happens.
And thank you for standing up to homophobes. I myself am nonbinary.
So cool to know all this about you. I don’t play guitar anymore but I have found a bunch more songs that sound similar. Such as ABBA Gimme Gimme Gimme vs the Kung Fu Panda opening song (similar vibes, not melody) and Todd Rundgren I saw the light vs a classical song (I forget what it was) and oasis She’s Electric & Shakermaker vs ‘I’d like to buy the world a coke’ Not to mention when Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys admitted to lifting Surfin USA from Chuck Berry’s Sweet Little Sixteen
Wow you interviewed Victorious Sponge! Love those guys! I had a similar experience in uni where I interviewed Gareth from Goliath Guitar Tutorials and Pretty Good Gaming for a short documentary assignment.
Brighton! Can’t think of Brighton without thinking about my favorite album of all-time, Quadrophenia. 🇬🇧
Everyone knows you cant buy a seat in the House of Lords…
Almost every government since… some jewellery was lost in a river has made it entirely possible to buy lordships.
Is that The Blind Tiger Club at 7’44”?
Don't download anything e-mailed to you. Go back to the source and obtain it yourself. Always scan.
Don't click e-mail links, no matter how authentic. Go back to your search engine and find the page.
Don't use the same password in multiple places. Use password managers or a robust formula to create unique and memorable passphrases.
Use 2FA, but don't depend on it. It can be hijacked.
What? No Philippines?
Oh gang… spat out my drink when seeing Shenyun suddenly show up out of nowhere, then spat it out a second time reminiscing your description of that group before bringing up its name. In the US they're kind of as unavoidable as pigeons in the city or gums on the street
So that’s how you say Pewdiepie. Up until now I say Pewdiepie.
I really appreciate you taking the time and vetting your sponsors
Well you bless us David with your enthusiasm and ability as a teacher.
