You Suck at Music Theory #2: Creating Tension 

Might as well stab me with a knife because you slayed me with this comment

@@RisetotheBottom00 Might as well crack a bone because u broke me with this reply

@@theswamps6589 Might as well laugh cause that was hilarious

ayo?

that sounded weird... But well... At your age you gotta enjoy when the tension appear!

_Fifty Shades_ of Wowsers? Kill me please.

What are you doing here

a checkmark, wowzers

Mysticat?!?

Can't wait to see them. Didn't expect you to be here btw.

I saw the 2d mc vid, I love your banner and pfp design

Where is the series? I can't find it on RU-vid but that might just be because the search function sucks now haha

And horrible, horrible tragedy in the mid to long-term future. Just to keep things interesting.

saw this comment as soon as he said it lmao

@@tracykay1528 Maybe and just maybe he said it as soon as you saw that comment. Wowsers.

My palms are sweaty

I played a saw wave and looked at the frequencies that peaked, now I'm sure he used a type of saw wave because when I used a sine wave you were right, there's only a single peak (the fundamental)

It s a saturated sine wave you dingus!

@@wemadeit8693 or a filtered saw...

Came here to say the same thing. Technically, e v e r y t h I n g is sine waves

"And in Uncle Joe's case, gastrointestinal"

and a bunch of release right after, wowsers!

Same I couldn't stop laughing XD

Both ! In a major key, starting from the root/fundamental, your most consonant notes paired together (we call this intervals) are the 3rd, 5th and the octave. The rest of the notes ( 2nd, 4th, 6th, 7th) will all have a degree of dissonance in them but they're still in the same key. Now, for example if you're in C major, the notes in key are C D E F G A B (C) - if you play notes out of key, let's say C and Bb or C and F# you will certainly get stronger dissonance but also more powerful resolution options Hope it helped fren

@@HSHDaGo when you say more powerful resolution options do you mean resolving back to the root, 5th, 7th etc from a note out of the scale will sound more like more absolute ( more wow etc ) when resolving ? As opposed to using a 2nd, 4th, 6th etc in the same key ?

Rainy City Music I’m not sure I can explain this well, but a resolution is when you have tension (dissonance) and then you fix that tension into consonant sound. So with notes that exist in the key, you can create tensions that come naturally - for example in C Maj try playing B F and resolving to C E (All of these are notes in the key of C). Then, if you use notes that are not in the key, you can create uglier tensions and the uglier/harsher the dissonance is, the better it feels when you resolve it (that’s what I mean with “more powerful”) - in C Maj play G B F Ab and resolve it to C E G (I’m which Ab is not in the key of C, but it creates a Spicy minor 9th together with the G)

great ideas! seriously...
