Left a few other tricks out of this video, but perhaps for another time. If you have some other reharmonization cheats, feel free to share...or don't.

[travismonk]

I just reharmonized a chord progression for my wife, and she cried and shook my hand.

[RYTMIKEISARI]

I did little bit of music theory like 20 years ago, but soon I realized that you can just place notes wherever you want and it either sounds good or not, and whether it actually sounds good (or bad) is little bit of a subjective matter.

[GloveBunniesVideos]

Sergei Prokofiev's "Peter and the Wolf" has always intrigued me with it's harmonic transitions; the main melody is so simple but all those changes underneath really convey the emotion. Great video!

[CallmeZeemonic]

Most music stuff feels like I'm learning OR I'm vibing. Venus theory, your stuff is a lesson AND a vibe.

[AndreasR]

I started with music on bass. I learned quickly that I control what chord is being played. Reharmonization can be amazing and powerful.

Remember to tell your guitarist though.

This is one of the best videos I’ve seen about this topic. Thanks for putting this out there.

[KevinTPLim]

Thank you thank you thank you! Perfect timing, exactly what I needed at this stage of my music journey 🙏 love the chromatic mediant sound, your example reminded me of part of the Star Wars theme (now that I think about it, there’s so many harmonic movements in that it seems)

[velvetsound]

Thanks Cameron. Chromatic mediants as a quarter turn + 1 on the circle of 5ths was something I never learned in theory class, but it makes complete sense. That will be forever stored away in my useless theory bank, to be brought up at band rehearsals with the prefix: “Well, actually….”

[Cpmnk]

Im a metal guy, like really heavy stuff. But your videos on music creation and such are always my go to. Never doubt your sh*t man. You've helped me a lot in the past years

[murphydupler]

In a world where I no longer belong, I admire your spicy humor. So many genres of music have already been stretched like art beyond recognition as music (e.g. Experimental music of mid 1900's). During your "I need a break from music" periods, consider comedy (or writing?). I admire your teaching w humor methodology.

[calenaur]

I watched a lot of videos about music theory but this is by far the best compromise between entertainment and education. Thank you for your videos!

[TCGamingfun]

Venus knows his stuff without being snobby pretentious. Good film, love!

[aikighost]

The circle of 5th stuff is pretty much gold for me. 👍

[ileryon]

there couldn't be a more wellspoken musician

[DDiltzProductions]

Your sense of humor made me instantly follow 😂 Great content and info 🙌🏼

[erikjohnson]

Great, simple overview of Circle of Fifths! Makes much more sense in your demonstration than most of the purely pedantic reviews of the concept. Very practical and thought provoking!

[chinidadian]

Those darn pineapples!! Great video!!
Been loving the outdoor setting for the 'talking to the camera' sections.

[thekingsmatter]

Thanks Venus Theory. This is probably the most valuable lesson in music composition I have yet encountered.
