I'm not sure I worded the question clearly, by "what resolves best" I meant what sounds Predictable / home / final/ finished, not what is most interesting or makes the best loop Regardless, I hope the concept made sense for you all 👊❤ FYI the chord options were 1 = chord7 2 = chord3 3 = chord4 4 = chord1
I liked 2 and 4, they was similar, 1 and 3 sounded unpleasant. But I felt that in both cases ending missed one more chord, we have 2 in beginning, but only 1 in the end. Feels incomplete.
BINGING your videos at the moment mate! so nice to have music theory explained to the tracks and genres i actually listen to. you speak clearly and eloquently but the sprinkles of wry humour really tie it all together 🤜🤛
Oh man, it's insanely how you build up the music theory, it feels like 2Year nonstop tutorial😊...... And this is going EXACTLY in my direction in terms of chordvoicing and so on! Symply the best on RU-vid, and i look on many...... It help a lot again for my music (more soulful house) Thanksss!
A2 is the only one that actually worked at all. The others all answered part of the question but in turn raised another one, to keep it in your terms. I'm going to watch the rest of the video now, and might check back later.
Defo fancied number two and number four, with number two being my favourite. Stunning tutorial, as per usual, your teaching, explanations and knowledge are impeccable, Sir! 👍
chords have been one of those things that've eluded me as to how they work, mostly due to the (personally) confusing language, but you made it so much more intuitive and understandable. thinking about a 7th as just a combo of the different chord "home" relations actually blew my mind. Thank you, this rocks
Similar to books, your videos only get better with another rewatch. Thanks again for the amazing work you put into these videos. It's well appreciated.
I liked number 2 the most, but not necessarily as the landing chord, more like the next logical chord in order. Btw. that little Garage Song you put together sounded awesome ❤️
A whole new world of (explained) possibilities opens since I found your channel. I’ve watched quite a few of them in a short time so not sure if it all sticks in one time. But the fun part, what I learned most is, besides all theory, if it sounds good it sounds good, no need to make it more complex than just that. Really enjoying all your videos, besides well explained theory it’s quite amusing and with enough humor. As usual many thanks ❤
OH MY GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS VIDEO FOR AGES MAN. YOU DONT KNOW HOW MUCH I AM THANKFUL FOR YOUR EXISTENCE. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
Once in a while I have the privilege to stumble upon a video that provides 100x more value than most other ones and this is one of them. Thank you for putting this together in such an eloquent and sophisticated manner - Makes me curious as to what else your channel has to offer.
I love the fact that the examples just casually thrown in at the end are the best recreations of sammy virji tunes I have ever seen on youtube (trust me, I've searched for a long time for them...)
Thank you for this video! I've been searching for good tutorial that explains behind the chord theory and I found your good explanation about chords in UK Garage
Chord 4 definitely resolved the best despite the other options all being serviceable for the progression, I think the interplay between scale degrees and how well we can traverse them is what brings out the best chord progressions.
#4 for me felt a bit safe, although add elements would complement the chord more, #2 or #3 are my pick. i think of alternating between them every 16 bars
If there's one thing I have to spend my time doing, it's watching every new upload. Always practical information that gives me insight into things I can feel is different between tracks but can't quite put my finger on. Love it
im blessed to have been taught by gifted people and love your vids cause i dissect chords in a similar manner. you're doing the lord's work teaching this.
Your question chords are suggestive of a VI-V progression in the key of Am, and with chord #4, you get a VI-V-I progression. So since you asked which one "lands on home", rather than "which one do you enjoy the most", the objectively correct answer is chord #4. Though that doesn't necessarily make it the most musical or tasteful choice, that's in the ear of the composer.
Exactly, that's the idea and why asked like that. So I could explain harmony functions. I shouldn't have used 7ths I think , as it's pretty hard to feel a Vmaj into III without the dom 7 imo. Triads would have been more convincing but I got wrapped up in the garage vibe. And yes many seem to be commenting what their favorite is as opposed to that resolved but all good it was a fun experiment and the engagement has been tremendous thanks for lending your thoughts. 👊
I picked two, but I also don’t tend to feel three chord sequences as resolved, which is probably baggage from genres like ‘progressive’ (mainstage) house. I guess that’s why I’m watching a video about Garage production, always good to pull ideas from other genres.
This covered music theory that I already pretty much knew and used plenty. But I love these sounds! I guess garage is a thing I never knew I liked until now. The explanations were also really solid and entertaining. Will come back for inspiration and information. Subbed.
I don't use Roman numerals, for the same reason I don't use old Greek, German or Italian terms. I find it old fashioned and completely unnecessary for the description of simple musical principles , especially as they pertain to modern electronic music. Communication is most effective in the same language as the culture it's being made to, and I know most djs or producers don't want to feel like they are back in music class!
Picked #4 but the best next pick was #1 and then maybe #2 better than #3, though for the tail it would depend on the context considerably. Like #1 is the “canonical choice” which can be in need of subverting, depending on what we have. I like weird progressions, though I can’t write out which ones go for me and which still aren’t. Maybe I mixed #2 and #1 and #2 should be the second best pick. Lazy to relisten... 😅
I chose 2 as well as it brings the most interest with a Jazzy style to the progression and itself resolves well to the first chord. I am not sure any are fully resolved and are only the middle of a longer progression.
Yeah, I think it was a mistake to use 7th chords, I got a bit lost on the garage vibes, but it kind of softened the example in retrospect. Either way, hopefully I got across the functional harmony concept? Or did the wrong prediction make you click off the vid?
