This is enlightening. This is useful. This is very kind of the producer to do. For those that are irritated that this is somehow "cheating" or "go learn an instrument" ... check this out -- this is how things are moving, at least in pop music. This is progress. That these basics (the "cause") are becoming easier over time, but the outcome (the "effect") is still a beautiful song/riff (in key), mission accomplished. Technology and dispersion of knowledge is a natural arc. At one point, few people knew theory and even fewer could afford the instruments to play. Should we go back to that primitive (and ultimately elitist) state? Same thing has happened to photography, driving, even other forms of art (painting, drawing, creating of all kinds). Be happy about this progress, not resentful. It will produce a lot of crap, but the good stuff will rise to the top.

@KenDWebber 7 лет назад

I've been playing instruments by ear only, with no knowledge of music theory at all. I also use Ableton Live and this video is MIND BLOWING!!! Thanks!

@diymusicbiz 8 лет назад

Great video man! 19:47 didn't know Ableton had that feature. Good to know. *For those who don't understand why inversions (voice leading) are important* 1. Makes chords easier to play (less hand movement) 2. Adds different tones/color *Root chord:* 1-3-5 *1st inversion:* 3-5-1 *2nd inversion:* 5-1-3 The only thing that's moving here is the bass note. Same goes for extended chords.

Thank you for this video. I've been looking for someone who explains how to write chords in such a way. I need more of this for sure! My mind has been opened.

@marmac44902 8 лет назад

Great tutorial Ethan !!! I am one of those song writers, producers that learn music through music theory. I also play by ears, but as a song writer, I can't always trust my ear. I need some sonic science evidence that I'm doing the right thing. Especially on harmonies. Thanks for the info and tips I thought I was the only one who like formulas. Much Peace !!!

@chosenonebeats 7 лет назад

I just wrapped my head around playing major & minor triads & just picked back up Ableton, folding the scale you did was brilliant. Suggestion for future video could be an example of adding melody/ other instruments on top of your chord progression, thanks.

@leebeatzz 8 лет назад

Love the video bud. Everyone interprets music differently. There was once a time when they said people who play music by ear weren't real musicians...Well tell that to Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles. Great lesson plan brother. Keep doing your thing, this video was very helpful. I see peoples comments about this being "cheating," or "go learn to play the keyboard and stop cheating" which is theeee most stupidest comments ever. Clearly you understand the laws and rules of music but choose to execute it differently, how is that cheating? A wise man once said, "don't just work hard, but work smart"...You just broke down a music theory/execution that took people years to comprehend and play fluently, and you broke it down in 27.48 minutes. Give yourself a pat on the back brother, you just put a music theory professor out of work...With their over-paid ass...lol. Keep up the good work and i'll be tunning in for your next video. P.S. never mind the haters, keep doing you. Cheers, Lee Beatzz

@keithmcgaffie9963 5 лет назад

Music theory is easily taught but hard to put in illustration. Music theory is numbers and sounds put together the hard part is self creation meaning understand sound theory and that right there is what is the difficult part of all music making unique sounds that fits the music.

I'm pretty sure you can teach someone music theory.. Its the one thing that hasn't changed in music for hundreds of years.

@ifoRproductions 7 лет назад

You can learn the theory, thats why its called a theory. The way they use the theory, the style, you can not learn.

@onetwo234 4 года назад

Some people just can't teach for shit this guy sure can however

@SHAQARTS 7 лет назад

in this world you have 3 types of producers • Great producers who actually WORK this particular way, inverting chords etc + those who know how to sound like the songs on billboard • Curious producers/beatmakers trying to explore the music world and learn every single day, on youtube, music classes or whatever • Wack people calling themselves producers and tell people what to do ! For example : " Buy an instrument and learn " Wack mofos leave wack comments don't even have a flute great video man hook theory is the shit

I need help with screen recording, when I'm recording I can hear myself talking on my mic but when I play my sound in maschine, logic pro etc.. I cant hear that sound. What am I doing wrong?

@diymusicbiz 8 лет назад

^^^ I don't understand your question. You need help with Screen recording and linking that with maschine and logic?

@beezy430 8 лет назад

+Greg Savage yeah like for example in this video you can hear the guy talking and you can hear what he's playing in Ableton. When I screen record and play it back I can hear myself but I can't hear the beat I'm playing in Logic Pro.

@diymusicbiz 8 лет назад

beezy430 What application are you using to screen record?

@beezy430 8 лет назад

quick time

@diymusicbiz 8 лет назад

beezy430 so basically what you'll need to do is reroute your audio. You can do this via your interface or you can use something like soundflower

@stacystacksbeats999 7 лет назад

Most all music and famous songs are just simple arrangements and a 3 chord trick. The rest is high quality . reverbs and building a wall of sound using a mixing technique. You want to learn how to use high quality vsts. Which are already loaded with a sound that supports your sound or project. Act like a Dj think like a Dj mixing two sounds or songs. Then go to your instrument and repeat that.

@j.g.195 8 лет назад

Software is cool but music theory beats this in creating every kind of music all day. Because your mind is so open to the theory there is nothing you cannot do. How can you make a certain music without knowing how to identify the key your in. Now granted you can hear the sound. but the music still needs to speak a language. That being said your music would be very elementary you would be stuck, never coming to the understanding of anything musical. Starting with growth everything will sound the same. No offense but anyone who knows real music theory would know this. This is not music theory. This is nonsense.

@l0wbtry 7 лет назад

22:11 you are not adding seventh, you are doubling the fifth of the V chord, which is G (G-B-D) in C major. Same with the vi (A-C-E). When you added "9th" to the V chord, you added 7th which you tried to add earlier. I know your intentions were good, but please do not spread misinformation.

@manocchs9369 6 лет назад

He added a B to the C major chord which is a C maj 7 (C-E-G-B)

@manocchs9369 6 лет назад

On the chords he inverted, he re-added the 5th though. He most likely forgot he inverted the 5th and then was re-adding the 5th an octave above the inverted 5th.

@n0pl4c3 7 лет назад

Well its true. Its needed to produce good music.

@n0pl4c3 7 лет назад

***** WEll ofc thats true, but the thing is when youre producing without knowing music theory your still in fact using it.

@n0pl4c3 7 лет назад

***** Sorry if i get your comment wrong because my english isnt perfect. My point just was that if your working without caring for music theory youre still following its rules because usually youre gonna take what sounds good so you sometimes stay in scale without knowing about. I just think its a good idea to learn the theory because its workflow enhancing. The advantage of learning instruments is that you can record acoustic instruments which sound most likely better than samples. I started producing with knowledge about piano and guitar playing, meanwhile i got a bass guitar, several analog synths and drums. I just think music theory is as essential as mixing arrangement etc.
