How Basic Chords Work - Music Theory Lesson 1

Thank you so much

holy moly, i had had SOOOO many goes at trying to wrap my head around this and could never understand it, and now I do! thank you so much, righty then, I'm off to impress myself naming and playing shapes.

Counting for a major chord or min or aug/dim, do I start on the root note?

This is really helpful, I love that you explained what intervals are first before jumping straight in. Thanks! :)

These videos helped me become a multi-platinum producer 🔥

Very nice explanation of sound patterns

This video is a good test to see if you understand intervals and how these intervals make chords. Good lesson

really useful, thanks.

Perfect format for me

Maybe it´s just me, but doesn´t a root note + minor 3rd + augmented 5th sound kinda great? Why can´t that be a chord too? Is it that the chord would be called something else? Sorry. I´m very new to all of this

Thank you

Thank you, thank you, I finally understood, some aspects of the chords theory I couldn't get until now. What a patient and wonderful teacher.

thanks

EVERYTHING MAKES SENSE NOW. THANKS A LOT!!!

Your videos are very helpful. Super grateful for you.

You made this so easy for me. Thanks a bunch.

suscribed. excelent lesson, it was the thing i always wanted to be explained to me. Thanks from Chile.

Thank for you this!!! I've been playing for 20+years. I know shapes of chords, and memorized so many things not quite knowing what they were and how to apply them, and have always been overwhelmed with learning the guitar fretboard. I wish I had seen this video sooner. It's honestly connected soo many dots for me! Thanks for taking the time to share the knowledge.

48 yr old finally entering music by trying to learn piano and guitar. This is GOLD for making the connections I need to help make it all make sense. THANK YOU! I’m looking forward to watching more as I practice / apply and progress!

Thank you so much for sharing this information. Every other video assumes you know what stuff like a perfect 5th or a major/minor 3rd is and the videos that teach that assume you know something else and it's just this loop of information you cant access. Thank you so much for cracking that loop open for so many people.

Watching these videos and reading these books on music theory always sound like someone who only speaks spanish trying to teach you, a foreigner, how to speak spanish. Doesn't sound too useful, does it? I used to have to cross-reference between teachers and pick out what they got wrong on my own. Thank you for all that you do!

this is really helpful! thank you!

so good video!!!! i lauve!

Great teacher

I am 55 yr old man just learning to play an instrument. This is really useful, just the right level.

This made the dim and aug chords clear. Thank you.

Which keyboard you are using in the video?

I just came across this video again and I wanna say thank you. I've always loved music and been making music since I was 9, but I never really bothered to learn music theory, or learn an instrument, I just used computer software to do it. In 2019 I discovered jazz for the first time and loved it so much I wanted to make music as complex too. Then I stumbled across this video... And watched all your tutorials up until the Circle of Fifths one, after that, I began learning on my own. And after these 2-3 years I can say I'm proud of myself, since I know so much, and I compose stuff I wasn't able to before, but I couldn't have done it without you! This video kickstarted my own journey. I'm immensely grateful.

How did you learn? College?

I’ve noticed that C,F and G are like buddies and they have the same like finger placements for major, minor, and diminished. And D,E,A and B also have that same relationship.

I don't play any instruments, but I love music and to know how it works. This is a great video, clear and well explained.

This is a perfect video... i am a beginner and learning two things at the same time never made so easly before👍

Reached and age where my brain more resembles a lump of concrete than a sponge and still managed to understand this! Total respect due - thank you!

thank you, I wish someone would have it in these terms for me long ago...

What is the difference between aug5 and m6 ?

goddamn this is fun
