Actually, statistically, in most popular song the chord that we find before the tonic chord is the 4th chord even more often than the 5. The 5th to Ist chord move must be used but at the right moment and not too often/early.
I wanted to thank you so soooooo very much for all your wonderful videos on chord progressions and movements. The whole series is fantastic as are you other videos. I love how you bring reason to how things sound, and also reaaally appreciate that you used the number system making things general. This month I love Bm & B, but maybe next i'll try something else, and it's so very awessomee that your principles are general and timeless, so very much appreciating that! So, from the bottom of a grateful heart I want to not just thank you but to wish you a wonderful Christmas, and a fantastic New Year, and all in all amazing holidays for you and your family! You're wonderful and your generosity and knowledge is awe inspiring.
I watched this and didn't understand 90% of it, so clearly I need to backtrack to something a bit more foundational-- anyone out there have advice or a resource you would point someone like me towards? (I.e. a person who is only beginning to understand the structure and build of notes on a keyboard.) I understand that mastering chord progressions makes improvisational music much easier, but where should I start? Feels overwhelming.
Hey there if you're just starting out I'd like to recommend the videos Understanding the Major Scale Using the Number System, Understanding Chord Progression Theory Parts 1 & 2 by this channel. I believe those will provide a good foundation for you. Using Google and youtube for other musical concept is also a great strategy. I hope this helped and if I misunderstood your question or if you have anymore please feel free to reply to me and I will get back as soon as I can. Take it easy!
To people asking for audio examples. You can play them yourself. You will hear or feel the tention resolving. Example: Play 145 chord progression that's D G A D in the key of D or just play the notes.
Sort of. 1 4 and 5 will all be major, 2, 3 and 6 will all be minor, and 7 will be diminished in major keys. If you wanted to do this in a minor key, you would start with the 6, so 1 4 and 5 would be minor, 2 would be diminished, and then 3 6 and 7 would be major
I know this is a year old and you’ve probably got an answer by now, but I’ll answer for anyone else confused about the numbering. If by A-B-C you mean actual notes, then yes. That is incorrect. The only scale that would fall into that pattern is the A minor scale. There are no black notes in the A minor scale. The corresponding notes change based on the scale. A minor scale is A B C D E F G A. Last note and first in any scale is the same. Only the last note is one octave up or down depending on which direction you’re playing the scale. For every major scale there’s an identical minor scale. Only difference is where the tonic, or first note, starts. For example: C major scale C D E F G A B C > no black keys A minor scale A B C D E F G A > no black keys Another example with black keys: D major scale D E F# G A B C# D B minor scale B C# D E F# G A B If you learn the 12 major scales you will already have the 12 minor scales memorized. Notice how the D major and B minor scales have the same notes in them. They just start on different notes or the “tonic” is different. After you learn your scales then chord progressions become easier to understand. Hope that helps!
It's more an eloquence than any music . What do u want to say by making such movements ? 5 to 1 , sus. to 3 what are these movements ? Cannot 3 or 6 move to 1 ? Any restriction ? Chords are assigned as per notes used in a phrase . Any combination is possible in a composition . U are restricting the composer in a very limited zone . Plz explain . .
It would be amazing to have auditory examples of the notes and or chords that you are explaining.
please add musical examples on piano
Ok loved all the videos up to this one. Got totally lost, baffled and messed in the head. What the hell are you talking about " going home " what !!!

Very GGooodddd. !Thanks very much!.
excellent explanation. Thank you
thank you Mr.Garrison,
M'kay? :-)
i dunno but i heard u say something bout the chord sounding jazzy but that reminds me of the dorian minor mode for some reason .
i think both 2 and 4 want to go to 5
Great video; really helped me
Great video.
Do these same rules apply with the natural minor scale?
Thank you so much!
very nice expl.

y is the 5th note still in the chord instead of getting resolved...?? what happened to the poor 2nd note in case diminished 7th chord ??
gold
You should show a actual chord progression
You do it.
Maybe this is how i understand
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
1=A
2=B
3=C AND SO ON,
or do i understand it wrong ?
