Music Theory in 16 Minutes

Should not confuse beginners with natural minor since it is rarely used. Teach major and harmonic minor only, that way they also learn the circle of 5ths at the same time.

Fantastic delivery and content, thanks.

He said in the United states we call it a half step.
I've never heard that before. Every musician I've every talk to in 40+ years has always said semi-tone

Damn. I am crying. Why did it take a decade of fail for me to find this. THANK YOU

Glad to know no one needs talent anymore.

Usually the songs on an album are the result of an artist’s creations during a season of life. This means the songs can all speak to a similar set of themes, ideas and topics. So the aim of an album name is to try and sum up the big story/concept that all the songs pull from when they were written. It’s not always like these, especially today. But traditionally, an album is like a “book” with the songs inside being like “chapters.”

It is a cohesive collection of songs used to tell a bigger theme or project an overall vibe. Think of an album as a book. And your songs as chapters.
Every book has chapters. Every album has songs.
Each chapter is different. Each song is different.
But the collection of chapters (the collection of songs) is what tells the full story of the book (of the album).

Yes you can play with guitar the minor pentatonic scale on the major chord if just go three frets (semitones) down from the major root. Thats your relative minor.

This dude is absolutely awesome. Thank you Guy Michelmore!

i like this nice guy!
well explained and good energi

In many countries in Europe the B note is named H. Just to make music theory that much harder. Otherwise it would be too logical. We have A H C D E F G.

So so helpful!!!! Thank you!!! ❤❤❤

Hi… where can I find this kind of information for learning how guitar works ???

Best teacher!!! Amazing

It is the first lessons of music school solfa. Thanks God, big composers learned theory for years, not by video. Otherwise we wouldn't have the great music of the past.😅

U explain everything so well. Watching this as a refresher from taking a break from music and ur way of relating this is so much easier to understand

Absolutely brilliant and immensely useful. Thank you very much!

Great video.

Thank you Mr. Guy Michelmore for this intro into Music Theory. Very grateful.

Please, how do I get the PDF you referred to downloaded?

Thank you.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Some of these words I've been able to pick up clues from context but because I didn't really know what any of them meant, it was starting to feel overwhelming. 'Yes interval is distance between notes but what does that actually mean and how is it connected to anything else' You explained this all so well!!!! oh my goodness thank you so so so so much!

You expressed the ideas very clearly into understandable chunks. With great enthusiasm, compassion, and camera angles, you've made something absolutely incredible. 😊

I love that I can come back to this again and rewatch as many times as I need for these pieces click together with all the other pieces I'm picking up.

That IS what I sounded like 😂

Very helpful. Thanks! (And it seems nearly 4 million viewers agree) 👍👍👍👍

Mozart composed in four flats. He moved three times.

AMEN

You teach beautifully, thank you for sharing!

50 years ago a former schoolmate by the name of Nash, on the staircase of the Edinburgh University Library, told me about TTSTTTS. It was a revelation. 50 years later this excellent video tutorial has helped me build on that as I aim to develop beyond my Joe Strummer style. 😂 Many thanks Guy!

Thank You!

That's really useful for me. Thanks.

Wow. 8 years of guitar with lessons, 5 years of piano on my own and I have never understood so well the theory as today

One of the best music lectures ever...love ur delivery sr..from Nigeria

This is the best music theory video!

Then modes ...

So awesome! 😆👌 thanks for this brilliant, joyful explanation!

you should make a video with all music theory in 2 hours like literally all including reading scores, getting rhythm mnemonics, the italian terms and symbols for dynamcis tempo etc. would be the most amazing souce of knowledge for all beginners who get into music if you do it!

Great video...

Thank you for this. What a great job explaining.

Hugely grateful thank you. At last a way to understand it.🙏

Massively grateful. Thank you. Such great teaching🙏

So the Perfect 4th and perfect 5th intervals are called perfect as they are present in both the major and minor scale, according to this video

Why is the second not called a perfect second then? Both the major and minor scale share the same second: a major 2 interval, which is a distance of 1 tone, or two semitones

Must be more to it I guess. You’d think the minor scale would have a minor second interval (also known as a “flat second”), however in reality this is quite dissonant. The minor scale with a flat second interval is actually the Phrygian mode.

I came to the comments - and was NOT disappointed!! Glad I came across this channel

"If I had ever learnt, I should have been a great proficient." (Jane Austin's Lady Catherine De Bourgh)

Amazing explanation! really openined my eyes with this simple and straightforward explanation!! thanks!

I just learned every major scale with the WWHWWWH pattern. Jeez i was learning one a week 😅

It sucks that I had to figure all of that out on my own when I was a kid 60 years ago, and now here we have the internet and your video and it's so simple that a child can grasp it at a very young age. LOL Seriously, this is how I teach people to understand music. It's really easy once you realize that music is nothing but patterns. Numbers and patterns. ALL of it. Thanks for a great lesson....

Thanks to you for clearifying the theory. Subscribed for more...
