    Hey Folks,
    It's been a while.... It's great to be back on the tube again. I'm not sure how much interest there will be out there, but I feel there's a lot I can contribute to this space, and I'm at a place in my life where I'm ready to really go in on this project if there's sufficient demand for me to be able to make this a viable thing. This video is the beginning of my experimentation with a new model that is better aligned with my personal values and hopefully will help enable me to spend more of my time making useful stuff for everyone:
    I've decided to close my Patreon page, and freely offer everything I make from now on. No more paywalled content. As I mention in the video, I'm hoping we can make this work with nothing but a tip jar and a dream: Ko-fi.com/MusicWithMyles
    So yeah, if I can get enough support to afford this, I would like to start putting out a lot more content on this channel at a much higher level of quality than this video. I have so many ideas...there's so much I want to make. The current bottleneck is the fact that I'm doing every bit of this on my own (while also teaching full-time), including the visuals, which, as you can probably tell, is not at all my area of expertise. So, I'm looking to bring an actual professional animator on board to help streamline the process and take MwM to the next level.
    If you'd like to see this happen, please consider donating if you can. Even a single dollar is super helpful if a lot of people are pitching in :). In fact, if even just 1% of viewers were to throw in $1 or so per video, suddenly this channel could be my main focus. Btw, feel free to ask me any music question along with your donation and I'll be sure to reply! And if you don't have a spare dollar, just sharing my stuff around helps a ton too :D
    And thank you so much for watching, everyone 💙🙏

      Great to have you back man! This is already such high-quality content - totally understand the desire to up the production value with an animator, but don’t underestimate how good this already is! Also, would love to see a video on metric modulation, as I feel this is a technique that is desperately under-explored in music education as a whole, and I’m sure you could make something really informative and entertaining.

      Glad to have you back making content again! I've gotten the feeling that the videos you've made so far have gone along with your usual songwriting methods, and I've found that to be the most interesting material. To watch a general music lesson and immediately know how it applies to songs I recognize is very satisfying and helps with learning and retention. Would be very happy to see more content that relates to your personal process and methods!

      I can't even begin to explain how freaking happy I am, your few videos are top tier musical knowledge on this platform right next to some of Rick Beato's "What Makes This Song Great" and a few comments from Adam Neely's "Q&A Sessions". Also Quiet World is still on the top prog metal albums I've ever heard. Poh Hock's latest album/EP sounds great too. Any plans of releasing stuff of your own soon?

  • @sportmaniac10
    @sportmaniac10 ปีที่แล้ว +208

    Another tip for everyone:
    Don’t be afraid of leaving pedal tones in your harmonies. This just means having one or two notes that stay the same throughout, maybe only moving up or down a note if necessary. This sort of anchors the harmonies so they don’t feel like they’re moving too drastically

    • @San-lh8us

      OK, but four way close harmonisation is specific, and useful for harmonising solo for ex supersax : fourway close double lead. Please do not mix up things so unexperimented people gets confused !
      It's a matter of style. If you start mixing everything up then you can also talk about Bach's chorals ans so... This video is an excellent explanation of 4 way close harmonisation, please respect it's creator.

    • @mitsuki1388
      @mitsuki1388 ปีที่แล้ว +41

      I think the main issue is not leaving room for maybe one voice staying in the same note instead of following the movement of the main melody exactly, sometimes it sounds a bit too much arbitrary.

    • @seejoshrun1761
      @seejoshrun1761 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      Yeah I agree that it may be better to let a voice stay on their same note, or switch to their target note early. Like staying on Ab or going to Bb for the bottom voice instead of going to A natural at 6:12.@@mitsuki1388

    • @ItsBofu
      @ItsBofu ปีที่แล้ว +21

      I also think making every chord a 7th chord robs the resolutions of their power. If you listen to the original, there are plenty of chords that are just 1-3-5-1.

    Great explanation, really well presented. Personally I'm not a fan of turning every chord into a seventh chord (especially in rock) as it destabilizes the true chords such as the EbMaj7 at "Ma-ma", but as a mechanical technique it works really well.

    • @ryangriffin5362
      @ryangriffin5362 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      i feel the same. just make those maj7 chords maj6 chords (so the first chord from to bottom would be G-Eb-C-Bb) and it's much more stable. although that minor second internal dissonance is really nice on IV chords.

  • @tessjuel
    @tessjuel ปีที่แล้ว +12

    A really good explanation. This technique is also known as "block voicing" or "thickened line" and it's standard for big band jazz and many other styles. Queen did it all the time of course and they became so good at it they could do it in studio on the fly with hardly any preparation or practicing. (They recorded it with all three singers doubling all four lines to get an even fuller sound btw.) A few useful variants to add:
    + Sometimes you want to add a sixth rather than a seventh to three note chords. It generally gives a slightly softer sound.
    + If you want an even tighter sound for some of the notes, try to substitute a ninth for the root and/or a fourth for the third. But if you do, remember that you still want all the voices to move in the same direction all the time.
    + Two more common ways to handle passing notes (that is melody notes that don't fit the harmony):
    - Use a diminished 7th chord
    - Omit the chord note right below the melody note. (For example: if the melody note is an F and the chord is a Cmaj7 (CEGB), leave the E out of the chord.)
    + As the video says, ideally you want all the lines to move in the same direction all the time but if that simply isn't possible, it's usually better to let lines cross than to have one stuck at the same note. (For example, let's say the second line ends up as E-D-E and the third as C-C-C. A better solution would usually be second line E-C-E and third line C-D-C.)
    + You can add more body to the sound by doubling one or more of the lines one octave down. Typically the melody is the first one to double this way and then either the second or third voice depending on how tight you want the harmonies to be. (Btw, "standard" instrumentation for a full big band horn section is to start with everything doubled in octaves, then have the brass play the lines from the top one and downwards and the saxes from the third highest and downwards.)
    + Keep in mind that musicians will naturally intonate to fit the harmony so a harmonisation with a real musician/singer for each line will usually sound softer than the same notes played on a keyboard or by a computer.
    + If you only have three voices and want to emulate the sound of four-way close voicing, the easy way is to leave out the lowest line. I'm not sure but I think that's what Queen did live. A more advanced (but technically not close voicing) solution is to leave out either the root or the fifth of each chord.
    ---
    Not really four-way or close voicing but really useful variants anyway:
    + If you want a less "jazzy" and not so overwhelming sound, use the same principles but with three note chords and (of course) only three lines. Leave out the root of fifth of any four note chords in the harmony.
    + You can get a "wider" and less tight sound by transposing one or more of the lines in octaves. Three typical tricks:
    - Transpose the lowest line one octave up. This is a kind of hybrid between "standard pop harmonisation" and block voicing. Make sure the melody doesn't drown in the mix though; give it a different timbre and/or more power than the other lines.
    - Transpose the second line one octave down. Not close voicing anymore of course but it cn sound really great when done right.
    - Transpose the second and fourth voice one octave down. Definitely not close voicing but it can be very powerful, maybe even a bit overwhelming if you're not careful.
    ---
    Last but not least: remember that all rules in music are guidelines, not absolute laws of nature. What matters in the end is how the music sounds. It's still a good idea to learn and understand music theory and the standard solutions as well as possible because it will save you time and effort in the long run and besides, as I used to tell my students, you can't really break the rules properly if you don't kow them.

    3. Profit!

    Or they begin to explain what the musical interval is.
    Guys, I know what intervals are (practice) and I will distinguish a small third from a large one. But in which case, for example, a large third, and in which a small one, no one but you explains. I am a self-taught musician, I don't have 2-3 years of studying solfeggio. I study topics as needed. Now it's time to learn how to build backing vocal lines. Thank you, you helped a lot!

    Great explanation of harmonizing using four way close!! We had to practice this a lot in my jazz arranging classes. Wish I saw this video when I started learning lol

    Funny, in composition class there was a commandment that thou shall not use parallel motion. Of course rules are meant to be broken, but I do think some pedal tones or variations could add interest, but a cool idea and technique to share. Cheers.

      yeah, i haven’t tried harmonizing anything this way yet but i get the feeling that this is useful as a pretty methodical procedure to get a starting point - then you go tweak the result however you want

      What composition class ? Anyhow this is not composition, but an arranging technique called four way close, used for decades. Ever heard sax soli ? Ever heard about harmonised soli in big bands ? Ever heard about geat band Supersax ? Ever heard about block chords ? Well it's never too late...

    This was an amazingly presented video. Loved the constant rhythm in the background that allowed the examples to play in time. Also, the visuals were a really nice touch. Instantly subscribed

    Loved the video but you should work on the titles/thumbnails. Almost skipped the video but noticed last second it was yours.
    Happy to see you back!

    Just a personal thing - I wish there was more music theory jargain to help with those who would use this knwoledge with a classical understanding to produce a more modern sound. It would speak to some of us as our language, and we'd probably get it more.
    Some examples that would help me, specifically:
    Four-Way Close Voicings -> Four-part Conjunct Harmony
    Tensions -> Non-Chord Tones (They make us drill this one, so we KNOW it)
    Some note about inversions in the chords would be nice
    Overall an amazing video, though. Everything is really clear and the philosophy behind them is amazing. I love how the music and the video are engrained throughout the video, reminding me what I am really here for.

    Sorry but... that second minor really rubs me the wrong way in a pop context like this, even when not next to the lead. If this was jazz or experimental maybe, but I fail to understand why you didn't stack the notes on top so as to have actual 7ths instead.
