@aaronclift 2 года назад

This whole video could have been about King Crimson, as they’ve done practically every scale you can think of. “Fracture,” “FraKCtured,” and “The ConstruKCtion of Light” are pure whole tone scale magic. Also, the beginning of “Indiscipline.” “Red,” “One More Red Nightmare,” and “Larks Tongue in Aspic” all feature the diminished scale. “Thela Hun Ginjeet” and “Discipline” are minor pentatonic. The middle section of “Starless” features one of the most tense and explosive examples of the chromatic scale I’ve heard in music.

@shma1israel 2 года назад

I agree, but then David couldn't have used any original clips because of their label's restrictive policy. King Crimson's music could have a much wider audience if they'd allow reactions.

In George Michael’s “Careless Whisper”, the saxophone runs up the A Phrygian scale over the Am chord in the intro, and is repeated throughout the song. Thanks for this helpful video.

Found this while randomly looking through a playlist before it even went public haha :D To me, Pyramid Song's first chord progression has a very distinct Phrygian sound to it with the exception of the tonic chord being major and not minor (i think of it as borrowed from phrygian dominant), nevertheless a very phrygian sounding progression. Great video as always David!!

David, what I most enjoy about your presentations is that you neither treat your viewers as idiots, nor as accomplished musicians. You strike the balance really well. I was very blessed in my early introduction to music by having teachers who enjoyed teaching, and their enthusiasm encouraged their pupils to want to excell. William McKie was master of the choristers in my day, and George Solti directed us, trebles, at ROH performances, and in singing Melia, Hyacanthus, or one of the Three Boys, the enthusiasm and steady encouragement of such as Vitorio Gui and Colin Davis helped nervous boys enjoy themselves rather than become frozen. You seem to have a similar gift, David. Perhaps a future as a organist/choir director beacons?

When you started playing B harmonic minor, I immediately thought of Hotel California! The chord progression has even an E major, but there's a straight-up A# in the melody and in the F# major chord. Or, for example, E dorian reminds me of the last part of "Time" by Pink Floyd.

For Dorian, (sticking to the Beatles) there’s "I Me Mine" (key of D, sometimes temporarily switching to A, although I never notice- maybe it's in the hard rock section?). For the blues scale, here's one of my favorites: "Change On the Rise," by Avi Kaplan (former member of Pentatonix), which actually stays in C minor pentatonic throughout except for a one-off F# in the bridge. If you want to hear the minor pentatonic, you only need to listen to a verse of this.

@JoeForrestart 2 года назад

Love the final example of the circus music being Chromatic! I never knew that, but makes a lot of sense! Reminds me a lot of the Super Mario theme, which is very chromatic as well! I've always thought that's why it has such a sense of fun and cheeky joy to it, very mischievous, something which the circus music also shares. Super Mario also opens on a tritone, which is incredible, but the tritone is actually the closing phrase/end of the piece, which is why it can loop forever because the beginning is the end. Maybe do an analysis of the main Mario theme next, it's really incredible 😂😂

About the Myxolidian Mode, there’s a Brazilian example: Asa Branca, by Luiz Gonzaga. This song has a accordion line playing the Myxolidian Mode in thirds. In fact, that musical genre (baião) is largely based in that mode.

Playing in pentatonic and blues is easy and fun. Good place the start. Both sound great.

@guyedwards22 2 года назад

Not as common nowadays, but another one worth mentioning since you included the standard blues scale is the Major Blues scale! Just a major pentatonic with a flat 3rd in between the 2 and the 3. Used a lot in older happy-go-lucky jazz tunes from New Orleans, "Bear Necessities" from the old Jungle Book movie, a more recent example would be 'Sunday Morning' by Maroon 5 I dunno why, but improvising and chord building feels a lot more relaxed and uninhibited if the song is in Major Blues rather than Minor. The I and IV chords sound wonderful as maj6, maj7, or dom7, and the V chord can be messed with by making it a sus4 or a #5, or even a maj6 in ballads. The iii7 chord is there in all its glory. Minor blues feels pretty chained to the 12-Bar format unless you start doing wild stuff with it

@GizzyDillespee 2 года назад

When I think of Hugh Laurie playing piano, I'm hearing a genteel major blues jam. It feels like daytime blues, sitting on the porch with sweet tea. Minor blues feels more like trouble brewing. I disagree that it ties you to the 12 bar form. You can expand turnarounds, do secondary 4ths, move in 3rds, all kinds of things. Thinking about it, all of those are "ways of breaking out of prison" once you've established a 12 bar pattern as your prison, so I see what you mean. Once you start playing 12 bar minor blues, it really does set up a momentum of expectation, at which point you have to essentially do a musical jailbreak to get out of it. You can't just up and play some glam boogie-woogie right in the midst of it. Not because of what people would think, but it just wouldn't work, unless it was like a psychedelic melange.

Before I knew modes existed, the very first fast guitar riff I learned was from Over The Mountain from Ozzy Osbourne. Randy Rhoads' riff is entirely in Mixolydian. Actually a lot of his riffs are, but I didn't know that yet. But in Over The Mountain, it descends the Mixo scale in a broken pattern that he surely got from classical music (a pattern that Yngwie made forever famous, but using Phrygian and Harmonic Minors instead).

Not quite sure these are the same scales, but, I like to pick the intros to Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" and the American folk song "Oh, Susanna" on guitar when I got bored. From standard, tuning up the low E to a G, then plucking open string and 2nd fret, you get both songs in a G Major Pentatonic. I don't really play guitar with any skill, I just like plucking out little short melodies from time to time, and I really like the sound of those 2 in particular.
