What does 'in the key of' mean? // Beginner music theory for piano

Bruh I already knew everything in this other than the minor scales and some of the other ones other than major scales I wasted my time I just thought I didn't know because the name was different

I never understand this. Is that mean that is the song is in Gdur than we must use ONLY notes that are inside that scale? And we musn't use notes that not exist in Gdur scale?

Vinny? Is that you?

very impressive。 Thanks for the knowledge.

Thanks

very useful for me. It strikes me that we come at music with bias, so not all notes are equal, we need phrases to resolve on certain notes, our brains should accept any note, then again if everything was equal, then music wouldn't be music it would be sound. Different cultures presumably have unrecognisable keys and alternative note resolution ideas. You've got me thinking, thankyou.

First video on this topic where I felt it click. Thank you!

I think you either have a music brain or you don't. Sadly I don't.

Helpful it was thank you teacher! 🤓

Thank you … easy to follow .. I love your channel

for me, music theory is like math
i get lost 10 seconds in

But how do I know how the scale goes? I memorize it?

really clear explanation thank you so much

lil Dicky?
is that you?

Thanks

Thank you

So how do we know in witch key we are with one chord? Couldn'it be in various keys?

Very useful information and explained well!

Music theory is the craziest, weirdest sorcery to ever be invented. It makes sense, and doesn't make sense at all, at the same time.

Great video!

I really want to learn bohemian rhapsody song. In what key is this song played and what major scale should I practice to play this song?

Thanks well explained

I’ve just hopped into learning piano, so this video is a huge help to understand it’s different fundamentals, big thanks my dude 🙌

All these musical terms and words are confusing and everything kinda goes over my head..

I saw you had a video and I haven't seen your channel recently. Even though I know this, I thought this was one of the most complete explanations for a beginner. Good job.

All this knowledge is impeccable bro👌this is really helpful, God bless you brother and keep inspiring aspiring music producers like me👊

Thanks, it answered by question

What pitch means

bro got no idea how much that helped ty

Thank you very helpful 👍

Good useful lessons. Thx a lot. But you show and speak fast. I think Need a little slow down. So some people can accept and learn well. Imho.

Hey

Thank you for the help!! You are awesome!! ❤

Wonderful job, thank You!

Amazing! thank you for explaining so clearly

This is amazing thank you for the explanation

Can you explain how a key gets its name.

Cool

I'm confused can someone just tell me what, (A4-A5)(D-Bb) (D-Bb) is?

I still have trouble understanding this. In your G Major example when you showed the triads why did you play F sharp instead of F and why do the spacings differ between them. G > B > D has 4 steps and then 3. But from A > C > E it's reversed to create a minor chord. I don't get how minor chords can be in a major scale. It's very confusing.

I don't understand when someone says something is in the key of blank for 3 reasons:

1) What about all the modes like Lydian, Dorian, Mixolydian, etc?

If a song is in a mode do they say the mode along with the key like C Lydian, C Dorian, etc.? Or do they just say the song is in C and it can include all the modes and you just have to figure it out?

2) What about the different chord variations like augmented, diminished, suspended, etc. chords?

Can you not play these types of variation chords because they don't fit in the key if the chords include notes outside of the key or the song (chromatic notes)?

For instance, if an augmented or diminished, etc. chord has a sharp or flat in it. But the notes of the key or scale of the song don't contain these sharps or flats, will the chord sound bad?

Or you can still use these chords for the key of the song even if they include some chromatic notes?

After watching this video I think you said it's ok to use these types of chords.

3) What about when a song changes key during the song?

So many songs change keys. And certain bands like the Beatles and Radiohead make key changes a normal part of their songs.

So if a song changes keys why don't the musicians say this song is in the key of C then C minor, or F then A#, etc? Why do they always only say the song is in the key of blank (naming one note/key) even if the song changes keys?

This video was everything I needed!! So incredibly helpful and well done

bravo and thank you!

Please what does the minus -1 to 12 mean and the +1 to 12

Thank you!

Awesome video dude. Looked this up for a second explanation and it was exactly what I needed! Thanks!

Now make a video explaining this video please.

This is exactly what I was looking for
