Also, just use upper-case & lower case Roman Numerals for denoting whether a chord is Major or minor. Examples: Instead of writing: 1M, 2m, 3m, 4M, 5M, 6m, 7dim Do this: I, ii, iii, IV, V, vi, vii
To help with these subjects, I strongly recommend purchasing 'The Chord Wheel' by Hal Leonard. It shows the "chords of a key", where the key note is along the circle of 5ths. It has a transparent, rotating disc on top, which you use to line up the key/tonic with all chords which are played by the same notes as the key/tonic's scale. The disc can be written to with a dry-erase marker, so you can build up any sort of chord progressions you wish.
yo this is great, I've been totally confused about chords and chord progressions forever, and all they've ever taught me in music class, theory wise, was the scales and the assigned numbers. thanks a lot!
Im not a fan of how this is demonstrated... it would be far more effective if this was taught on a piano from the beginning to the end... most people learn better by hear examples.... that why Ray Charles/steve wonder were able to play the piano far after they lost they eye sight
I think it's helpful to look at it both ways. There's benefits to seeing it on an instrument, but this way you can see it with the names and keep looking back to reference other parts of the slide, whereas it's gone when someone moves their hand in the other style. Anyway I liked it, but would agree to watch some other instrument ones too to see it both ways to compliment each other.. :)
Great video ! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I have a question : is this notation commonly written with the roman numerla system ? Ex. in key of A : "4m" will be written "IVm" ?
In roman numerals, you write them in uppercase to represent majors and in lowercase to represent minors. E.g. In the Key of A, 4m will be ‘iv’ And the default 4 (major) will be ‘IV’ Hope that makes sense.
In My Music 4 = Augmented 1, 4, 5, 6 = Major 2, 3, 7 = Minor 8 = Diminished 4m, 2, 3, 5m, 6m, 7, 8m 2dim, 3dim, 6dim, 7dim 4m+, 2+, 8 Key of A 4m = D Minor 2 = B Major 3 = C# Major 4m+ = D Minor Augmented 2+ = B Major Augmented 5m = E Minor 6m = F# Minor 7 = G# Major 8m = H# Minor 8 = H# Major 2dim = B Diminished 3dim = C# Diminished 6dim = F# Diminished 7dim = G# Diminished
This rule is only for any major scale. If you want the chords for any minor scale, write the minor scale and in that 1,4,5 will be minor chords and 3,6,7 will be major chords. If you know a major scale, then writing a relative scale is very simple. Just start the notes from the sixth note in the major scale and write the notes. Relative scale means it shares same key signature and all the notes are same but it starts with a different note. A major scale starts with A and F# minor starts with F# but the notes in both scales are same. Hope it helped you :-)
A chord with a flat 3rd and a flat 5th note. E.g. A diminished C chord: Key of C- C, D, E, F, G, A, B Root: C 3rd: E (we need to flatten this) 5th: G (we need to flatten this also) So we get C Eb (same as Dsharp) Gb (same as Fsharp) Diminished chords sound really bad on their own and have a weird vibe.
Ok. The whole time its like yeah. But the question to me is why. Does this signify a different key than originally envisioned or is this more like music is do what you want but label the weird stuff please
I believe chord progressions are always based on the major scale, but it doesnt matter. Major scale and minor scale are the same. If youre in A minor, youre using the c major scale
it's funny because these vids are amazing iv learned so much and like i completely understand how not everybody will like every teacher but this dude did an amazing job like come on @.@. Don't dislike unless you have the balls to upload the same vids but better versions in your eyes.... noobs..
you have to say that youre only talking about major scales/keys when saying that 1,4,5 are major and 2,3,6 are minor. In the dorian mode for exmple 3,4,7 are major and 1,2,5 are minor and 6 is diminished
Normally the roman numeral system always fixates only on keys, and therefore either major and minor. I'm not sure about this number system above I'm seeing, but it doesn't matter. In Dorian mode, the IIm acts as the home-base and tonic center, but it'll still be seen as a IIm even though theoretically its the tonic, first chord of the mode and thus "I," but to avoid any confusion we will still simply call it the IIm (from a Major key since that is what the modes are fixed on) acting as the tonic.
This is obviously a video directed at people who are fairly new to music theory. I don't think those people are learning about modes right now. Ride your high horse on outta here.
When talking about examples gotta play the corresponding sound as an example, because otherwise it becomes very hard to learn. and gotta speed up the video to at least 1.25, when talking slow, the learner's brain goes into boredom mode.

My music teacher taught that to us too😊

Great tutorials man thank you for sharing
Wow you are a really good teacher :) Subscribed

@Mensch Meier either were they, fakers
Dude i subbed because youre actually a cool as guy man!

In roman numerals, you write them in uppercase to represent majors and in lowercase to represent minors.
E.g.
In the Key of A, 4m will be ‘iv’
And the default 4 (major) will be ‘IV’
Hope that makes sense.
Great video.
Please someone explain me why he made it minor when it is major by default? Im so confused.
why do you use numbers instead of Roman numerals? its so much easier that way
Great lessons
In My Music
4 = Augmented
1, 4, 5, 6 = Major
2, 3, 7 = Minor
8 = Diminished
4m, 2, 3, 5m, 6m, 7, 8m
2dim, 3dim, 6dim, 7dim
4m+, 2+, 8
Key of A
4m = D Minor
2 = B Major
3 = C# Major
4m+ = D Minor Augmented
2+ = B Major Augmented
5m = E Minor
6m = F# Minor
7 = G# Major
8m = H# Minor
8 = H# Major
2dim = B Diminished
3dim = C# Diminished
6dim = F# Diminished
7dim = G# Diminished
Can I use this "rules" only on a major scale or can I use it in other scales also?
This rule is only for any major scale. If you want the chords for any minor scale, write the minor scale and in that 1,4,5 will be minor chords and 3,6,7 will be major chords. If you know a major scale, then writing a relative scale is very simple. Just start the notes from the sixth note in the major scale and write the notes. Relative scale means it shares same key signature and all the notes are same but it starts with a different note. A major scale starts with A and F# minor starts with F# but the notes in both scales are same. Hope it helped you :-)
@@SamDeeven very good explained :)
@@bayram00 thank you
Isn't standard notation i,ii,iii,iv,v,vi,vii?
No. In a major key for example it's I,ii,iii,IV,V,vi,vii
Gabriel Macedo I ii iii IV V vi vii°
What is the meaning of deminished
A chord with a flat 3rd and a flat 5th note.
E.g.
A diminished C chord:
Key of C-
C, D, E, F, G, A, B
Root: C
3rd: E (we need to flatten this)
5th: G (we need to flatten this also)
So we get
C
Eb (same as Dsharp)
Gb (same as Fsharp)
Diminished chords sound really bad on their own and have a weird vibe.
Does this stuff apply to all formulae in the various modes of diatonic scales?
worshipwoodshed so since 4m=DM how would you play a DM?
Ok. The whole time its like yeah. But the question to me is why. Does this signify a different key than originally envisioned or is this more like music is do what you want but label the weird stuff please
Brither How to decide the chord except the default chords..
if 2M is equal to 2 then what's the different between playing 2 and 2M ?
nothing, just semantics, lol
So if your playing 7th chords would you play 5 as dominant 7th? Or is it still Major?
yes, Major if only using 3 note chords but dominant 7th if using 4 note chords just for the "5" chord.
you say "by default" A LOTTTT
That's what he says... by default!
I'm watching this in 1.5x speed and he's still talking like my 99year old grandpa
This number system changes the chords, M or m based on whether you are in a major or minor scale, right?
I believe chord progressions are always based on the major scale, but it doesnt matter. Major scale and minor scale are the same. If youre in A minor, youre using the c major scale
it's funny because these vids are amazing iv learned so much and like i completely understand how not everybody will like every teacher but this dude did an amazing job like come on @.@. Don't dislike unless you have the balls to upload the same vids but better versions in your eyes.... noobs..
+Mocha Desiree I can teach you if you want. We can dip into real deep theory if you want. :)
Just saying, the 7th scale degree should be half diminished. Not just diminished. Please fix that, so you don't teach improper information to kiddos.
you have to say that youre only talking about major scales/keys when saying that 1,4,5 are major and 2,3,6 are minor. In the dorian mode for exmple 3,4,7 are major and 1,2,5 are minor and 6 is diminished
what would it be when using a minor scale be then?
1 Minor
2 Diminished
3 Major
4 Minor
5 Minor
6 Major
7 Major

Ride your high horse on outta here.
why D is 4 instead of D# when G# is7
Mch Cdo because it's a A major scale
Why is it better to just say : Cm or Dmaj...
Because the numeric convention is transposition independant
Excuse me sir, can I go to washroom?😌
Where 7 which is normally diminished...
Wait for it...
Is not diminished.
When talking about examples gotta play the corresponding sound as an example, because otherwise it becomes very hard to learn. and gotta speed up the video to at least 1.25, when talking slow, the learner's brain goes into boredom mode.
e
Confusing af! Lol
Anthony Anderson major minor minor major major dim default if it's is m M minor or major otherwise default so 1 major 3 minor 5 major
Isn't standard notation i,ii,iii,iv,v,vi,vii?
