I wish I could start my life over again knowing you can get that good. At 6 years old I would ask for a guitar instead of an Atari telling my parents « I really need to start now because I know what I want to be »

@jackrobinson9403 2 года назад

I beg you to buy yourself a piano and/or guitar no matter what age you are. If not, and you still want to master an instrument? Try a ukulele. Very cheap and most chords involve 1 or 2 fingers only. 20-50 gbp to buy a decent starter ukulele for an adult.

Thanks rick! have been watching you and other Ytrs from the near beginning, and it feels great to be able to be worthy of the Beato book. For a crooner, learning sign language, hand solfeggi, and the guidonian hand, this simple flats/sharps sign you shared with us is a nice bonus. The heart without a mind (even one as daft as mine) is just a pump!!!!!!!!!

@banaabekwegirl5731 Год назад

I grew up with musicians who hadn't access to theory training, so they like many of us appreciated the myth that learning detracts from feel. I''ve spent long years shedding the limits of that myth, still such a long way to go, but it's a beautiful road. Great video.

@stevenrogersfineart4224 2 года назад

45:00 I think the best explanation I can think of for feel vs. theory is to think of speaking a foreign language. You can express feeling with the tonality of your voice and your facial expressions, but you won't be able to SAY what you feel. With theory you aren't limited in your expression :) There are many times I hear melodies or chords in my head but I can't play them without tinkering. Again, it's like trying to have a fluid conversation when you're constantly flipping through a translator. You may find out where the nearest bathroom is, but you won't be having any meaningful conversations 😄

@HOLY_BATH 3 года назад

Really appreciate you Rick. I had been trying to understand where these additional chords come from (what you call “borrowed” chords) in major keys for a long time and this explained it in a way that finally made sense to me!

@serzjuh79 2 года назад

For instance, you are in the key of C. Your typical chords are C Dm Em F G Am (and the Vii bdf) When you suddenly have the c note in the melody but the chord is like Aflat major, maybe your melody goes to d and your chord is Bflat major and melody rises to e chord back again to C. The Ab and Bb chord came out of a different key so to speak, so these are borrowed chords.

@andrehughes1 3 года назад

All fantastic info. Your channel is undeniably the most interesting on RU-vid. The important thing to creating compelling and popular music is... Production. Interesting melodic progressions, amazing lyrics, and stunning instrument virtuosity, all live and die with the right studio production. That means instrument panning, stereo imaging, overdubs, studio effects, multi channel compression, mastering, etc. The most mundane songs can be made into instant top ten hits just because they sound good...

Thank you so much Rick. You remind me of an old chemistry teacher I had. We would be frantically taking notes as he would erase the chalkboard behind what he was writing. I got the book but these videos help so much. Thanks again. I’m looking forward to more even if it’s drilling the basics. I think it was about 20min or so you went back and drilled the circle of 5th. As Farley would say “That was great” I feel blessed I can go over the video again instead of looking at my notes😀

Great info Rick ... one of the easiest ways to explain music is to teach it as a language ... which you do Eloquently and Precisely without gimmicks or tricks ... As a guitarist who has studied for years ... picking up mandolin's and fiddles ... learning Bass technique ... It was not till I took lessons on Piano from a good friend where the focus was "Music Theory" ... instead of practicing scales till my fingers hurt ... Then suddenly all the missing pieces of this huge "Tapestry" of styles and tunings and modes and beats and rhythms and etc. ... suddenly I hear things and play them ... Who knows where they come from ? They just do ... Thanks Rick ! please keep doing what you are doing ... for all of those young musicians just starting ... and all those older ones who may have forgotten how much Joy there is in what they do ...

@rogerramjet6615 Год назад

To work out which chords are in the parallel minor, they are simply the chords from the flat III Major key. So the parallel minor of C Major are the chords of E flat Major. Just put the C below the C and move up by step through the chords. It's worth noting that if you see the diminished triad in diatonic music, it will either be the vii of the Major key or the ii of the minor key.

This got me thinking of learning Solfege for scale degrees. Using hand signals to relay scale degrees. But that seems so complicated to either have moveable Do (which seems very complicated for any modulation) or fixed, and refer to flats and sharps as Do-flat or Di and Ra etc. Just using Note names seems much easier. Great vid! Thanks
