Music theory is pretty much essential if you want to take it seriously. It makes it very easy to communicate with other musicians on how you want your music played. It just makes it the process of music making much smoother. It's essentially a very helpful tool.

I'm willing to bet this is the same method used by most composers when starting from a blank slate. I do this on my guitar all the time and then find a third triad, then add some movement to the chords with a couple added notes and then a melody usually pops out. Just playing with patterns.

Sometimes, all it takes to start a new song, is by randomly hitting a certain chord, when you might be in a certain mood, or you are inspired by it somehow. Then you add a few, with some melody perhaps too, then a beat, then you have something right off the bat.

Marc Parella frankly, if you don’t want to learn to make your own music, there is really no point in learning to play an instrument. I mean in our time we can listen to music without having to have someone playing it on an instrument. So I believe creating ones own music should be part of playing an instrument always.

This is exactly what led me to quit music at 19. I had studied violin since the age of 9, and I could sight read sheet music and fill my seat in the orchestra just fine for impressing the parents. But I got so frustrated because that was literally all I could do, and back then there was no internet. So I quit altogether because I couldn’t jam or improv the tiniest bit with what I was taught. But the parents sure were impressed with the great sounding classical pieces we’d play at our symphonies.

Some aspects of both music and math, on their own, are confusing to me, weirdly though seeing both mesh together makes them "click" quite a bit better, maybe schools should make some more overlap in those classes to help them both make sense. As it stands I'm probably just going to abuse this knowledge to make funny noises with my Microfreak synthesizer XD

For those that actually know music theory and hate the way he names chords, here are the chords used. Enjoy! (5:40) I--> II Protagonism (5:56) I-->Vb (that's flat V) Outer Space (6:20) I-->VIb (flat VI) Fantastical (6:42) I-->iii Sandness/Loss (7:14) I-->iv Romantic/Middle Eastern (7:42) i-->IV (that's a minor tonic) Wonder/Transcendence (8:04) i-->II Mystery or Dark Comedy (8:30) i-->VII Dramatic Sound (8:53) i-->vb (that's a minor flat v) Antagonism, danger (less character based) (9:18) i-->vib (minor flat vi) Antagonism, evil (more character based)

Without a key reference this is a bit strange to comprehence for me. I know my theory but does this mean for example that the first one is in a lydian key (due to 2 mayor chords being in a row)? or are we just talking all about mode mixture because the second example isn't related to 1 specific key and neither is the 3rd one. In that case I would for example say the 2nd example is a mixture between a mayor key and a locrian key. all together I think its hard to say much about keys and progressions with only 2 chords. I hope you can till me a bit more about it?

This is great, thanks! Another way of thinking about it: depending on whether you're going from major to minor, minor to major, or staying in the same mode, tritone relationships signify either outer space or danger (clearly related); chromatic mediants signify fantasy or loss; quartal harmony represents wonder/orientalism; whole-step shifts indicate some dramatic moment (hooray the hero is here, or uh oh what just happened)... And of course, these can probably be combined for more nuanced/complex expression.

Absolutely correct. These chord combos go back to vaudeville, burlesque and then silent film accompaniment. My father in law, who played bass in a vaudeville group in the early 30s could entertain my wife as a little girl by playing these chord combos while reading stories. He couldn't play piano, but knew the chords that would set the mood. It is an old and well practiced craft that plucks the brain like the brain is a musical instrument of emotions.

That's how long it took me too. I've been playing piano for over ten years and I never had a teacher so I just play what sounds good to my ears albeit slowly with my fingers in "the wrong" positions. Meh I like it this way and then I came across this video and it taught me something cool I can use without learning everyone else's "popular" theory on how to do it. Gimme another ten years and I'll probably be somewhat bearable and entertaining to listen too.

dude, this is an exceptional music lesson. Bravo for simplicity and inspiration.

I just ran across these videos and they are the best explained and understandable versions to date. The visuals helped me a lot. Need more like this for theory and such as it helped me tremendously!

Thank you so much for this! I find it so difficult to break out of primary chords, I have a very "locked" mindset to chord progressions, so seeing these seemingly-random chord pairs put into their actual songs was a huge eye-opener! (It also served as a great exercise for me by running them through MuseScore before the examples, so I could identify the chords myself.)

Music teachers in the 90's would spend weeks going over this and I still wouldn't get it. This is such a better explanation :)

Your teaching style is wonderful. It builds curiosity and empowers. I want to go through my favorite film scores and see what patterns I can find. Maybe now I can figure out why Pixar always makes me cry...

I love how direct and useable this video is. Thank you!

This is great! As a silly digital composer with no musical theory this was extremely helpful to learn. I feel like I've been doing it all wrong, I've been stuck using a very, VERY small set of nearby chords and changing between them, making my music feel very monotonous. To anybody else reading, yes, this video is VERY helpful and encourages musicians to experiment with chord changes.

Music theory, as it is descriptive should always be inspirational, letting you know of either a cool new thing you've never tried or finally formalising this cool thing you've noticed. And then with enough theory you start noticing the gaps, and that's where you can start experimenting with uncharted waters inside those gaps but without going so far that you lose your audience on the way

I was like: I knew it!!! dan dan dan dan da nana dan nana B)

What's great about this video is it shows 1) How many great progressions are non-diatonic, and 2) How a simple formula, however bereft of music theory, can yield these wonderful progressions.

This has just opened up loads and helped me understand other lessons I’ve watched, thanks.

My lucky day. I just found a channel created by someone who is smart and funny. Great lesson. A good teacher is a treasure. Thanks for the lesson or insight or whatever it is.

This is the most important video I have ever seen.

This is a gold mine for producers like me with zero musical talent

I'm glad to see This Old Tony teaches music as well very elegantly I may add! :)

I legit was like “wait you’re really not gonna give examples”.. you got me

I LOVE STARGATE AND THE FACT YOU PUT THE THEME IN MAKES ME WANT TO HUG YOU!

It’s not a very good movie.

that M5m is the most notable chord progression See in *Zorro* _"I Want To SpendMy Lifetime Loving You"_ the interchange between A Major and D Minor It is also used in other "romantic" sounding songs Extraordinary Girl AM - Dm Hotel California F#M - Bm Toreador Song CM - Fm interchange

Is it now? Don't think DSCH would apply it.

One of the most useful videos I’ve seen. Thank you

I've been playing 10+ years and this 4-3 and 3-4 never stood out to me, but now that I think if it, it makes perfect sense and will help me one day figuring out those dark, not so often used chords :D Great video!

What a last name! Great name, great video 5/5

Hi! Found your video in my Recommended stream today. Looks like you have been hit by the Recommended fairy before, too. (In the beginning of April it seems.) Isn’t it fun? Anyway, nice lesson! Now if only one could figure out a melody to shape into these chords. I usually go from a melody, and have great trouble finding the right chords to fit it.

Seems like you could take the melody you've written and then choose which one of the notes in it you want to apply a chord/triad to. the notes you choose to build a triad on will dictate the 'flavor' under the melody. ex. if you're melody happens to have two notes that are M5m away from each other, put the chords there and your melody will be built on a spacey vibe. Want sad? pick the two notes in your melody that are M4m apart. Tempo and rhythm and instrumentation will fill it out.

This video is partly responsible for me having a career writing music. Thank you man

This is fabulous! Thanks, it suddenly makes so much more sense to me.

I've been teaching myself music theory for the past year or so, so this explanation felt really weird to me. That being said, you explained the concepts very well, and in a way that's accessible to newcomers.

Powerpoint animating. 10/10

I've been playing bass and guitar for 27 years, and recently a few other strings, and learning piano now-and currently into DAW recording. I've ALWAYS FELT these things, and can imitate them, but i never understood the language. Like an old man who never learned to read, but is a motivating inspirational speaker...

I've been playing piano for 8 years and I just now learned more than I've learned in my whole LIFE! THANK YOU!

'Forget everything you know about music theory.' (proceeds to reteach me the music theory I already knew)

Great tutorial easy to understand for some who can play but doesn't understand theory

BRILLIANT !!! I have tried studying music theory, but really gave up. Yoour explanation is so straight forward and clear. Many, many thanks !!!

This is incredible! This is how i break down music when i begin to overthink. Thank you for teaching this stuff so eloquently. *saved*

Brilliant thank you so much.....

best music theory video I've seen so far. Suddenly its becoming clear.

Simplicity at its finest! Thanks!!

Brilliant - entertaining and enlightening! Thank you, Scott!
