Introducing the Chord Families

[BenedictGS]

Wow i click to learn music, i come out baptised.

[lefttac]

Wow they are spot on, my dad creates tension in the family too!

[FerLMT]

This is, by far, the best comment section I've seen in my life

[JohnBergan]

Missed opportunity: "If you go *backward* one from Tonic, you get the Diminished. We're calling that the dog, because GOD *backward* is DOG."

[PWMoze]

Just realized why I never know what key I'm in: atheist orphan. Howerever I'm a dog lover so all my chord progressions are diminished chords.

[SemperCallide]

"As you can see, Mom is right below the Dad" Trying to make more minor chords, eh?

[bayl]

I the beginning i assumed the cross was supposed to represent a dead grand parent

[carlitoxb]

instructions not clear I'm praying to the C chord

If you need to know a major chord is formed by taking any note (the root of the chord, which gives the chord its name), go up 4 half-steps (a half step is the very next note, white or black). The note you land on is the "third" of the chord. Then, from that note (the third) go up 3 half steps (the note you land on is called the "fifth" of the chord). The root, the third, and the fifth makes up your major chord. Major chords sound "happy." For a minor chord, you start with the root, go up 3 half steps to the third, then 4 half steps from the third to the fifth. No matter how you flip the three notes of a chord around (called inversions), it is still the same chord, with the same exact name. Inversions is a whole different lesson, but this will give you the idea of how to build chords.

This is such an excellent way to teach music theory. Shey conveys the bases on which all music is built and how each tone is used to put a musical piece together. She is an excellent teacher. Thank you for the lesson. Please make more.

in functional harmony, dad and dog are same function.

I have multiple degrees in music but I needed to click on this video to see what the heck the thumbnail was about

[gregory]

Best explanation of chord relationships ever! I studied at university and this was taught like the ancient Greek language. Please keep teaching.

[sapphy]

THe best explanation of chord families ive ever heard

[relaxationdaily]

Once you have a firm grasp on this very solid, fundamental theory portion of music everything else about it makes sense. This is where the real creativity and magic of composition happens and you can literally create music in any style. It all comes down to these basic chord families and you can expand from there, getting into more complex chords and exploring a wide range of sounds. Music is great therapy and just understanding the basics of it opens up a whole world of creativity and exploration.

[欺软怕硬]

I don't think I'll ever be able to have the muscles to become a dad.

[jabronijames]

That one time when you’re playing in any single other mode than Ionian and your family just falls apart

[keana]

I absolutely love your voice and how you talk. It’s so calming and clear. Thank you!

[geckovision]

barring the social awkwardness of this version of chord families, It's actually the best explanation I've seen and opened it up for me.

[TSBoncompte]

i want to see adam neely review this video
