Damn, your videos are criminally underrated. I think I'm finally starting to get the theory behind riffs a bit more. I've looked up scales, and they expect you to know intervals, then you look up intervals and they expect you to know scales. I knew the major and minor scales, but just in an abstract way. No I kind of see how you put them together into a melody. Thank you.
excellent lesson. but i still can't learn it. what is an elevated 7th note is the 7th key played higher in pitch, tone or chorded? im not good at this theory stuff
@landr Can Peggy maybe answer this please? She is very nice :) In the song Get Lucky-Daft Punk, a Rhodes piano is added to the second period of music (bar 9). It is playing the same chords as the progression, but the chords are in first inversion and are played with a different rhythm. I think my question is about chord function, but maybe arrangement? The rhodes is middle in the mix and un-noticeable until you listen for it. But it seems to have an incredible impact on the energy and feel of the song. Reference: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XkeIwhKIi84.html Key: F#m Bm7 - D - F#m7 - E Thank you Landr
That's a great observation Ramm S. This definitely ties into arrangement. The rhodes are playing on the off beat eighth notes, adding some forward motion to the music. Layering chords with different rhythms and textures of sound can have a huge impact on the energy of a song.
Thanks for watching. You can find her here for videos like this one, but she also goes as rapper Hua Li. ru-vid.com/show-UCiQ-eW7YmDAfEqkDR5cIEhQfeatured
Can someone point me to a video which better explains the harmonic minor scale. I'm trying to make songs like Eli Sostre who uses harmonic scales but my chord progressions ain't hitting like his like I've been working on the same two songs for about 7 months now and I'm still writers blocked lol
these videos by this woman are the most underapriciated videos this channel does. With a different channel and a specific niche, They would do so well! Thank you for the videos so far!
Peggy this is the first video I watch in this channel and well this put a lot of pressure on the next one. Fantastic video, clear, well explain and kind of fun. I'm a beginner in keyboard and I feel that I just level up just by watching your video. BIG THANK YOU!!!!!
@@LaserBeemya I am still trying to process that comment LOL… I can’t tell if that an attempt at the a cold and clever dig or if the poster has inside knowledge on her living situation…🐷
For sure. In the key of C minor, the fifth chord would be g minor if you're using the standard natural minor to build the chord. By using the harmonic minor you'll get a raised 7th degree, making the B flat a B natural. This would lead to your major five chord: G major. Hope this helps!
The harmonic scale borrows one accidental from the parallel major key and the melodic borrows two. With those, you can also build chords from the parallel major key.
If a piano isn’t is playing a C major chord and a guitarist wants to play lead during that time, does the guitarist have to play all of the notes in the C major scale or can they just play some of the notes? Thanks. I like your videos.
Peggy, I just discovered and immediately love your videos, the graphics and your teaching are amazing, but why avoid using notation, and the audio on this video seems a bit distorted.?
