INTERVALS Explained - Major Minor Perfect Augmented Diminished intervals [Music Theory]

----

Intervals have been a source of confusion for musicians from the very beginning of music theory.

And honestly this is understandable.

First of all, I'm always surprised at how many musicians don't even know what an interval is...

... but even when they do - there's no denying that the naming scheme that we use for intervals does not make much sense at fist sight.

There are major and minor and perfect and augmented and diminished intervals... and some of them are the 'same' interval, but at the same time they are not the same interval! (augmented 6th and minor 7th anyone?)

(If you let out a shriek at the mention of "augmented 6th"... I understand!)

At the same time, intervals have also been a source of fascination for all songwriters who realise how they can be used to create new sounds in the same-old chords.

Intervals are the 'gate' that takes you to new sounds and new places in your music.

And while - maybe - it's true that we music theorists we could have done a better job at naming them in a clear way...

... you still need to understand them is you want to go to the next level in understanding music theory.

So in this video we talk about intervals and we finally explain how they work from the very start, and with all the details.

This was a video of major importance to me. Every minor detail was covered and nothing was diminished. I feel my skills have been augmented perfectly. Thank you.

There's a mathematical beauty in this that is just beyond the reach of my understanding. I believe I need to apply the [REPEAT] button...

[santi.shmanti]

I can't tell you how much this helped me for on of my classes that was giving me trouble with understanding the difference between minor and diminished intervals. Thank you so much!

I never even put together that subtracting an interval from 9 equals it's inverted interval. I really love using intervals such as 6th's over major chords, that relationship to it's relative minor is so cool. I would've never thought there's such elegant math going into stuff like this all those years ago, it's just crazy how many relationships there are.

I don't know where the idea for the _sneak in the side of screen and tip the hat_ came from, but I really _enjoy_ it.
Until next next time. ^-^

The minus 9 idea was really cool. So many tricks to make it easier. Even when you have an excellent grasp on these intervals. Nice job Tomasso (if I spelled that right). I always run into musicians who are weak on this concept. It really helps your chord voicing capabilities.

This video was perfect. I’ve been watching a lot of videos on interval naming and none of them are as well structured and clearly organised as this, thank you so much for this.

[WuYeye]

This video has everything we needed and is understandable.

[Dirgejuly]

Just started playing 20 years ago too, thank you.

[johndiraimo]

Pianists and guitarists unite. All musicians need to master intervals. Great video Tomasso.

[patricksimoneau]

I just found this channel. And it’s the best thing I think I have done

[mannyontrailPCT]

Thinking of calling on a MATH Tutor, next time I pull this up!! (But I'm sure it makes total sense...I just need to slow it down to 40 BPM) 😕😎

[finlaygilzeazy]

There is not a single other video i could find on YouTube about this subject. And this video is absolutely perfect thank you so much!

[kellerbenjaminjames]

Literally watched this 3 times... I have no background in this stuff other than playing my guitar for fun. I appreciate the explanations and it's making much more sense than it ever has for me.

Thanks!

[aslamkhudabux]

I enjoyed your quick & very accurate explanation including the KV's.

[emily-lrzx]

been trying to learn theory for years and of all the channels I've dug through, your videos have been the easiest for me to digest. I'm working through the music theory map and plan on studying the course soon, too! :) thanks for making these so consistent, thorough, and organized, they're a huge help.

[tylerkane]

We must be connected someway because I was literally just delving into Intervals and inversions in my music theory study and BOOM guess what Tomasso's new video is about? Lol thank you very much for your consistent involvement in our progress. I look forward to all your videos!

[ionageman]

Your a good man for building these videos .. at some point my mind screamed for release .. I refused and it became a chaos of words .. ❤️🙏🕊

[hassansway]

after yrs of trying to understand intervals this is definitely the most thorough tutorial of them all on youtube I would always get confused. I would just make sure to know all the names of the notes on the guitar and how half steps work before watching this. Amazing Tutorial🔥🙏🙏

[jprapud]

This is the best music theory channel i ever seen
