10 Chord Patterns for 10 Different Emotions 

Thanks a lot Dan!

​@@AlexRome I really loved #8 can I have the instrumental? Pls?

Yes I agree Alex thanks man

​@@AlexRome Tell them not to skip your ads for first 30 sec.

​@@AlexRome How many octave higher exactly?

@@ManuCel_ WRITE THAT SHIET DOWN!!!!

whats pedal and tonic

@@quanathan It's explained in the video

Wow, I thought the comment was funny until I read the replies, then my brain made that XP sound 🤣

Thanks buddy

Thanks

Omg thank you so much

ur a good human

man just ruined bro’s view retention 💀 thanks so much

Thx for this bro

You a real one

I love u bro

what do the numbers mean??

Chord Progression are specified with Roman Numerals I, II, III, IV and so on.@@sktru89

RIGHT

Why can't more people realize this??

False, the biggest take away is to put the third up an octave

@@cmanthetank144 I should have said MY biggest take away. Both of these are good learnings. I definitely liked the moving of the 3rd. For me I was already doing that with inversions so Pedal chords were a bigger deal to me. Regardless of the takeaway Alex does a great job explaining many techniques.

@@JleStudios Lmfao i was just making a joke cause he said that like 50 fuking times your good

@@SKhan1056 wow I hadn't even noticed.. Thanks

It was confusing for me at first to see so many 7 chords being used until I realised that they were 7 chords in relation to minor keys. Chords built on the 7th degree of the major scale are typically diminished chords and are much less likely to show up in pop and edm.

haha! no prob

God loves you all! The Father sent the Son to die for you and your sins so that you could experience freedom to the fullest! Believe in Christ's death and resurrection (which sealed the work done on the cross) for your salvation and the forgiveness of sins! Amen! God loves you all!

Beethoven is still deaf

​@@Horizon_Sounds But not tone deaf. He knew in his head how his compositions sounded.

No ​@@MRVIDEOMASTER-yw1qw

I was wondering how he did that. Anyone know?

@@RS-kc8ge pitch corrector, reverb, autotune

​@@CGJero pretty sure he did more than that but it's a good explaination

@@FranciscoGonzalez-qh5zd I'm sure he did. I'm not very good with effects to be honest, I'm kind of a new producer 😅

@@RS-kc8ge Your voice, auto-tune, reverb, distortion, surgical EQ, and compression. I tried this with bandlab, everything is for free, you don't need to buy expensive sht ALSO, ALMOST FORGOT I'M PRETTY SURE HE ALSO USED AN EFFECT PLUGIN CALLED "LITTLE ALTERBOY"

Hopefully someday I can learn how to be a great producer.

Yeah comedy gold

That is TEEEEEENSEEE!!! I love this guy, his content made me at LEAST 20% better :)

Don’t forget your pedal tones!

Bach hated this little trick!

I am no musician but I know that I need to raise those thirds up an octave

5:08 🤣💚 8:36 that's not aggressive wth xD

​@@AndreasDelleske You mean johann sebastian bach? Lol

What app

​@@charlieappleby9236 probably FL mobile, that's what I use

​@@charlieappleby9236FL Mobile. Same app I use.

As I understand it, spread triads - with one of the notes (not necessarily the actual third, because you can raise the middle note of any inversion, like 351 becomes 315) raised up an octave - was popularised by film soundtrack composers when they first used DAWs. In the early days of sequencers, programmers were advised to write patterns that "a real pianist would play". You'd keep the three or four notes of a chord all within the reach of the fingers of one hand. But the cinematic sound of spread triads eventually crossed over to EDM and pop, as modern producers aren't making "humanly possible" piano music. The technology (piano rolls in DAWs) encouraged experimentation and whole new chord voicings. For younger audiences (people born after 1995, say) spread voicings sound "normal", but for older people who grew up on music played by hand (on guitars, pianos and early synths), these sort of voicings are part of the reason why modern pop and EDM tunes sound weird or bad. When an average person says "I don't like modern music", it's often because it's literally written differently to older stuff, with the same basic chords, but unfamiliar voicings.

@@AutPen38 really interesting insight into one of the differences of modern and older music, thank you

I must be an anomaly, I actually got into EDM at 52 years old..... @@AutPen38

glad you found this man

same bro

They all sound the same to me

I like your comments and I'm new here. can we be friends?

i can make chord progressions easy but melodies wont come to me for my life

@@davidortega6054 humming and recording melodies beforehand is often the easiest and most natural way if you cannot play an instrument. Just record it and translate it via ear into your midi sampler. Given you already got chords it's pretty easy once your ear can translate the notes

Pretty sure those are straight up the opening chords lol, i was thinking the exact same thing and already finished the melody in my head 😂

He gets the theory very wrong, even as he presents the emotion very well.

I wouldn't define 'minor more serious' 'major more uplifting', as music theory. Nor would I define pedal tones or simple pads as revelatory. This problem with copy and paste music isn't that anyone can do it, the problem is that people start thinking they're musicians when they don't even know how to play an instrument.

music teachers will explain how intervals work so you can build your own chord progressions instead of copying stuff

Learning battlestar sonata off the bat without prior knowledge/experience of piano/music? Tell me how long it took you to do it. That's some dedication right there and I respect that

I 8i88😊

And no one even made him use those random keys, he could’ve made everything in C major or A minor and bypassed the whole issue

​@@iansiegler1036Issue?

He also said a 7 chord is just a regular major I was pretty confused. I mean that’s some Jeff tweedy kinda mixing and matching lol. If anything you’re going G A B I would say you’re in D with a major 6 (Jeff tweedy central)

Because in b flat the G minor scale is really chalk3d up major C

Fax does anyone know similar songs

i think you mean 5:53

@@Lintee_Second haha yes 👍

@@phlegm5596 fr, I'm dying to find a similar song. I wish I could even download the clip. It is so good🤩

​@@phlegm5596 Dreams - Gryffin uses the same 6371 progression in C minor, i believe and also has that same melodic house vibe to it.

He knows, but he wants you to see when and how he drags the notes

Confusingly, in FLS, I think it's CTRL+up for an octave jump. SHIFT+up only moves up a semitone. I think Alex is using Logic now and that presumably uses a similar shortcut. Weirdo Apple users probably use the OPTION key or something, like the committed mentalists they are.

@@AutPen38option shift arrow 🤪

You need to be more inspired. Writing while not inspired shows

@The Dude wow that was un called for, whatever dude. Trying leave a friendly comment and then you just come out of nowhere with "you need to be more inspired" like think before you comment, you don't know my story and I'm very uninterested in knowing yours, have a nice life my dude.

A major AND a minor help!

@@AndreasDelleske It doesn't cover music theory but gives some chords patterns, and although I like to write them, using this pattern is not a bad thing... I mean at the end of the day the progressions are limited, so using premade ones that you already know how they sound it's not the end of the world

Yup damn amazing

What is the song name or kit

lol - great video but i did laugh at every one having the emotion drawn out by octaving up the third no matter the emotion targeted

GOLD

😂😂😂

The best comment

Average band nerd (I’m wearing a microwave on my head)

Oh, I wish I had this waffle maker. The way it sounds totally makes up for the looks

Generic edm

I was thinking the same thing hahah ha

Yes, but key (and even more so register) does affect the perception as well. Timbre matters quite a bit too. All of these things play with each other in different ways. A piano is not tuned to perfect equal temperament across its entire range, so both register and key matter quite a bit.

@@badbeardbill9956 I think they matter a little bit. Keys only matter by virtue of it changing register so sure register matters, but the nuance of the range of emotions that a register change influences is massively limited relative to a scale or modal change. Put two of the same progressions a semitone apart and they will pretty much convey the same emotion.

@@Ndo01 completely agree, you mention emotion expressed relative to the scale or modal change, besides these, how would one go about learning to express emotion?

@@yungawkward303 the harmony and melody from the scales/modes is going to convey 90% of the emotion. Besides those, you can play with tempo, rhythm, instrumentation, timbre, and articulation.

I'm really wondering too, he never does that

Just be creative? It’s easy

aAh

I rike to order 3 poo poo pratter for pickup prea

Thank you... This was driving me crazy with some of the chord progressions not staying within the scales. The 1st one should have Db and Eb. The 4th one should have Eb, the 7th one should have Eb, the 8th one should have Bb and Eb. This might confuse some people.

it's so crazy to me how a person who barely knows music theory can make a video about a few basic chord progressions and the comments will act like he's some music god

And who cares? They're the same chord regardless if what you call them, so as long as you're not teaching music theory, it doesn't matter.

It's not about ego, it's about to have a better comprehension of the function of each chord in a musical tonality, when tou realize that you can go even further away with your compositions and search new colours with different grade alterations. Everybody can make music in the way as they want, I'm just trying to give clarity to people who is learning musical theory, 'cause this chord cypher may confuse themselves if they're trying to get better tools to develop better and complex chords progressions. You don't have to cry, just learn.
