Easy Chord Theory - Diatonic Chords of Major Keys 

Aw thanks so much!! :)

Yes i think so .. 👏👏🤣

I agree!

By a mile

That's an understatement Saying she's the best on the planet is like saying the ocean is moist

could you do a titorial on modes?

You read my mind 😀

Wow what a nice thing to say!!! Made my day!

Thanks so much! I’m so glad to hear that!

Yes, you know it. My fave instructor that I've ever had the pleasure of taking lessons from !

Thank you so much! Your comment made me so happy to read. I even read it to my husband because it made me so happy to hear you appreciate the grinding out of examples. :)

Thank you! 😃

Hahaha "let's do one more" and "cool" are two things I say a lotttttt hahaha. Thank you so much for your nice comment!

How about teacher of the millenium ? Hmmm what kinda trophy would that be ?

Couldnt agree more. In the same boat.. theory is making sense in my mind faster than it ever has!

I’ve been playing for a long period of time without a good grasp of on a theory! She’s a natural born teacher! I’m so lucky I have her as a teacher!

I will be making lots more! :)

Like others I have been playing music all of my life. Your videos are so clear and concise on the fundamentals that I missed along the way. Thank you so much.

Aww I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you so much for letting me know in this nice comment. I’m so glad you learned something!!

@@GracieTerzian I chuckle @ 27:00 "thank God..." I do count My blessings-I have to latch on to the reliable EZ stuff & work from there.

She is a very good tutor for sure. I know a fair amount of music theory but I must say I started to break the rules almost right away when I was a rock guitarist. The whole idea was NOT to always follow the rules, and catch cliches before they became song parts. But actually Gracie is explaining the “Western” way of musical systems so that you have at least a template for having a song written pleasing to “Western” ways. Just one more thing, I’ll be gone; many great musicians would try to recreate sounds in nature, even industrial noises., or WW 2 sounds. Anything you hear is a note or whatever.

Thanks a lot Robert for the songs with I vi ii V

Thank you for the great lessons. You have a great technique for teaching .

Hahahahaha I won't tell :P

One of the many reasons I love her channel also ! That and I have a crush on my music teacher :op)

@@GracieTerzian I assume that the reason the I, ii, iii, IV, V, vi, vii^0 chord progression "sounds" similar to the diatonic key is is derived from is due the chord sound like the root note it's made of? That is, there is a kind of interval formula for the chord progression that "resembles" the diatonic key it is derived from?

@@GracieTerzian Too late I spilled the beans on Him.

Thank you so much Ted! You are so nice!

Wow what a nice thing to say!! Thank you so very much Rick!

She's a multi-talented gift from God :o)

Thanks so much Craig! I appreciate it :)

Awww michael you are the best! Thank you so much :)

Amen!

Aw thanks so much! I really appreciate it!

Hahaha that first sentence might be the best quote I’ve ever heard! Thanks so much! Yes that’s a good idea. I’ll try to start doing more listening examples.

@@GracieTerzian Glad you liked it :D And wow, maybe even taking my advice , even a little bit ? Im must be having a good day, think I'll go buy a lotto ticket :O :P

Thank you so much Terry :). You are very kind

Best in the multiverse

Haha I love it! Thanks so much MK :)

@@GracieTerzian Alberto is not alone!

Thank you so much!

Happy to hear that! Thanks so much :)

Thank you!

Totally!

Haha information overload!!! It's good to take breaks and not overwhelm yourself. So, ultimately yes, you want to have your major scales memorized. This takes time and lots of repetition. HOWEVER, you don't need to memorize every single major scale at once. You can start with just one or two major scales. Start with the easier ones like C major, F major, or G major. Then move on to D major and A major. etc... Don't let the feeling of "oh goodness, how will I ever memorize all of these?" overwhelm you. I remember feeling that way when I first started learning music. First off, you don't need to have every major scale memorized at first to play. You can first spend time playing music in simpler keys such as C major, F major, G major, D major, A major, etc. There is no need to be playing a song in a crazy key like C# major or Cb major when you first begin working on this stuff. But I do believe that having a grasp of your major scales/keys will really make a lot of other things in music theory begin to make more sense. It's the foundation for so much. In order to figure out the notes in a major scale, you can always google search what they are (hahaha), or you can count up in whole and half steps in the pattern WWHWWWH. OR you can start figuring out the notes in major scales using the circle of fifths which is what I recommend using. That is what helped me begin to memorize my major scales. For instance, if you can't remember what the sharps and flats are in the scale, you can draw out the circle of fifths (or even better: try to visualize it in your head by memory) and figure out what the sharps and flats are in the scale. I have a video about how to create the circle of 5ths that you can check out in my music theory video playlist. I hope this helps!!

@@GracieTerzian AWESOME INFORMATION!!!! Again, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!🙏🙏🙏. *Your “CIRCLE OF FIFTHS” Video was my 1st Video to watch on RU-vid - it was EXCELLENT!!! *Will try to MEMORIZE😍

Thank you so much Lindsay!! :)

Glad to hear it!
