Synthwave Tutorial: How to Create Awesome Synth Chords 

Very cool ! I'd love to see more of these "style-genre-type-chords" tutorials ! :D

Beautiful chord progression I loved that

wow it sounds incredible !!!

What synthenzier are you using? Educational 🤔

Hello. Whats the App that's showing the chords being played?

Fuck I love this

Thanks Mr mango I love yo work

Aww hell yeah!

What software are you using to show the chords and keys like that

coool

I am a complete nood to music creation :) where can I get a sound pack for synthwave? or how do I make it sound in that style? TY!!

fun!

No one ever wants B :(

Can you share name of the program you use? you play chord and shows you right away

How do you make that beautiful smooth bass?

I know this song or something very similar but I just can't remember the name lol bugging the shit out of me now.

I was watching the chord progression, I accidentally made it into a House EDM.

Coool

Hey, that's my artwork in the thumbnail.

this is awesome, more videos like this please!

Judging by the types of chord voicings, I feel like Eric Whitacre would have fun messing around with Synthwave 😂

Thanks for helping to get rid of my fear of dissonance! Now I really love the lusciousness and depth you can get out of these higher level voicings.

This was great !! I especially like major 7ths, 2nds, sus4, occasionally a 6th. There's this thing about lingering notes that stay on a little longer than normal. But I'm not sure what to call it. Also, there can sometimes be a time-forward note, that comes in a little early, in anticipation of the next chord. But I'm not sure what to call that either.

I love much synthwave musics and i was aking myself when i would start learning it... today is the day! Thank you for the amazing lesson! Do you have more synthwave lessons? I want to learn more and more! I want to compose for an RPG but synthwave wont come in much hand now.. because its medieval theme,but later on another chapter i will introduce futuristic theme and them synthwave will come on hand great as a glove 😁 For now its a love that i have for synthwave and those nostalgic 80-90s musics

id love to see more of this style tutorial possibly with a few explanations/general guidelines on when to use added voices/suspensions and how they generally resolve. i am familiar with basic common practice voicing techniques and chord progressions, but when it comes to these more sophisticated voicings, its all trial and error and going by ear for me. also, what is that lovely chorus sound?:)

I play in an 80s New Wave tribute and these chord voicings sound great. Definitely give you the feel of that era. Just ad a string pad like you did, or a CS80 or DX7 and your good to go. Thank you for sharing.

MORE OF THIS PLEASE!!!!

c major sus vote them out

Hello, what sound of Ableton is that, or at leats, what sound could it look it? Thanks

Thanks very much for adding the music sheet, it really helps people with classical background.

F Sus

This tutorial was dope and just gave me tons of different ideas for composing. Thank you very much for sharing you knowledge !

Ha never thought I’d see a synth wave tutorial by you, unexpected surprise but cool

ha it said sus

Нормально,сразу чувствуется дух 80-х!!!!

I love the sound of this progression but did not understand much of it. But who cares, as long as it inspires! Thank you.

What kind of preset you have used for this? Sounds like a voice pad

wich app do you use to record keyboard and show graphics?

Simple and effective.. thank you so much for using only the white keys.. that’s make everything understandable for the others keys 🙏🏻

hey I love what you do, can I use the chord/note progressions for my own music? kindest regards

Thank you for the information. Good knowledge of chords will definitely help the process of creating such voicings

There's so much here. I'm gonna have to watch it a few times.

Hello. I enjoyed this video. This is the very first time that IU have watched one of your videos. Would you be kind enough to tell me where you get your sound from, for the chords you were playing and the Bass sound that you were playing as well. Your music sounds were wonderful to listen to. I absolutely love the sound that you used in this video and would love to acquirer some of those sounds. They were very soothing sounds. I want to thank you for making this video and introducing me to some of these sounds. I wish you continued success with your future videos and musical projects. I also wish you continued success financially as well. Have a wonderful day and week. Please keep making beautiful music.

These chords sound great especially when played in this context, solo. In a band these complex chords are not required, they will be lost in the mix. The 80s were a simpler time. Not many knew these fancy “jazz chords” back then. I grew up playing in bands and was born in 71 so ask Mr how I know.

I.. I .. I just can't.... I will never understand chords. The man just presed 4keys that where literally each next to the others, and sounded beautiful and it was already a chord. If i do this, the neighbors call the police.... i give up

Nice, would of been cool to hear it all together.

What software is that has been showing the notes and the staff

nice job, midi for dowload please

How do you figure out these chords? I want learn the intuitive skill of figuring out amazing chords like this that rhythmically blend with one another

*HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!* 😀

what were the vsts you used? like for the bass and for the pad on the upper keys?

More "Juzz" and "Clessicul" perhaps "Ruck" and "Pøp". Wait nvm just Juzz + Clessicul mby sum "Bassa Nuva" Ps. Im not trolling these are actual genres that uncle sam wants YOU to support

Awesome!! Thanks Mangold, this is a nice tutorial, love it. I would also be verry happy to see more synthwave style chords or more generally Real Emotion chords which I believe 80's pop style music where more focused on. Thanks again for your invaluable work, love the idea of a Mangold Jazz Piano Course online! Greating, Julian

What is the software that tells you the chord with the description my kind sir?

Just imagine add drums to this

Whats the software you're using at the top, which recognizes the notation and chords ?

*cries in 4 note polyphony*

This really helps thank you 👌✌️

sorry but wich program do u use for thoose beautiful sounds?? :o

Brilliant. Spot on.

Love love love this 💕

What kinda of keyboard is this? Please respond! Thanks, great video

Really nice

Very informative. I'll be using what I learned here in my next song. Check me out for original synthwave.

god

Awesome

TY

More synthwave please!)

Sounds great, could copy the notes but I don't seem to understand those. Why do they work ?

Also what kind of keyboard do you have?!!!!

Hahahahaha! "Go tension, go!" The music sounds great, but that won the video.

Sounds like save your tears

Could you do a video about Mitch murder? He has a lot of stabbing of chords and licks.

Interesting, I’m so stacked in triads that I feel ashamed.

Thank you!

Super bro...

Incredible and speechless! Fantastic voicing! Also the sounds are great! What sounds you're using?

I do like this video ! I'm fascinated by the chord you choice for the voices. I don't know how to find them... When I'm creating, I easily find notes for bassline and for melody, but for the voices it's difficult. Is it your software that show the chord or is it a footage ? It's soft and clean !

I would like to contact you with a question, do you have some contact info? Regards

great tutorial . i learn a lot from it and thanks for the nice imagery of the piano ! great!!!

You’re my favorite teacher on RU-vid

Sound wonderful, makes it look so easy. Great skill, this is really informative. Awesome tutorial.

Please tutorial settingan sound keyboard🙏🏻

Awesome tutorial! Thank you

federer

Thank you kind sir, you are a real human bean and a real hero

@MangoldProject Are you hitting some of the notes on the 8th bass beat?

what is this piano called?

Nice! Thank you!

thenks, that`s really helpfool

Really helpful video. Can you do a Mike Dean tutorial? He is featured in the Moog One introduction video and the chords he‘s playing just amaze me every time. I was wondering what kind of chords those are and how to play them. The video is called Moog One - A Meditation On Listening and he appears at 6:32

How can anyone dislike this

Awesome vid is the display we’re seeing a program if so what’s it called?

Nice! What software are you using for the sounds or is that the Roland keyboard?

thanks, master!

Great! Sound incredible, good idea this polychord,, thanks a lot!

Hi Mangold, I love all of your work. Do you ever plan on releasing DVD collections of your past vids, possibly assembled by the year of by the topic. I would really love to obtain your collections. Thanks so much for all you do.

Really cool!
