@NolanHolladay 4 месяца назад

everybody out here making things complicated and you just explained that SOO much simpler than anyone else I've come across! I only just learned a couple weeks ago (46yrs old here and I played piano for 2 years when I was a kid and THOUGHT I was taught basic music theory back then) that notes are dynamically named based on the key of the scale you're playing in! and you just explained all of that so clearly! it's like there's this expectation by seasoned musicians that scales and note naming are just second nature and all students have to do is "just practice the scales" but how can anyone practice something they don't even understand? looking forward to reviewing more of your videos!

@BradHarrison 4 месяца назад

This really brings a lot of information in a short amount of time, and the presentation is simple but is also amusing as you bring bits of humor in between examples. The way you break things down is clear and is easy to understand. You're content is very helpful, thank you for that.

@14littledude 2 года назад

I've just wrapped my head around G# major to find it's a theoretical scale. This was very informative and I've learned a lot about major scales. Thank you

@BradHarrison 2 года назад

Yeah, any spelling of a scale is technically possible but some of them cause more problems than they solve, so you’re not likely to see G# major out in the wild too often.

If Brad had taught me theory throughout music school, I would've understood everything. The graphic explanation of literally everything is so soothing, satisfying, and easy to comprehend, especially for neurodivergent people. And I'm East European, we use a different musical note system, and I still get it. My adhd brain is so brateful for this!

Theory can be real confusing. And I thought there was room for improvement over the common style of “dude in front of a white board”. (Not that there aren’t tons of fantastic theory channels out there in many great styles. I just picked a style and went with it.)

@BradHarrison 11 месяцев назад

@timmcclements7657 It would be if it were treble clef, but that scale is shown in bass clef. The notes are all different! Check my video on note naming if you’re still confused. Also, E# is a note, but it’s not shown in that scale at that moment(because it’s in bass clef.;-) hope that helps!
