- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 พ.ย. 2024
- Simple method to organize ALL MUSICAL SCALES of harmonies. We use a simple method based on families and circular interval patterns to organize all scales that are well suited for building up harmonies: "THE SCALES OF HARMONIES". We explore and systematize the Major Modes, Melodic minor Modes, Harmonic minor Modes, Harmonic Major Modes, Diminished Modes, Whole tone Mode and Augmented Modes.

Dear fellow musicians. At 11:29 I made a little (but yet quite stupid) spelling mistake regarding the small green letters showing the interval sequence of the "Whole Tone Scale". The correct interval sequence is of course: "W-W-W-W-W-W". I'm so sorry about this misspell in the graphics!!! I hope you can ignore it and enjoy the lesson anyhow. Many warm regards from Oliver :)
Excellent, interesting, and very insightful video!
NewJazz for all you show we all never even seen the mistake.
was curious for a second lol
Just call it a test to see if the students were attentive 😉
Turns out I wasn't confused at all. Great video regardless.
This is, hands down, the best and most usefull music lesson I've ever watched. So many thanks!!
Agreeee!!
I feel the same. It is a wonderful guide to come back and continue learning. Absolutely amazing.
Facts
I agree
What he said ☝️☝️ 100% clear, simple and useful. All options/choices of scales laid out, and "when" to use each scale for that specific chord function. Brilliant! Thank you!👌🙏🙏
Until now I have not seen a person more talented in explaining music theory. You basically wrap up and roll out the architecture of harmonics in 20 min and give people the chance, to understand the beauty and coherence of music. Thank you maestro.
I think you mean harmonies, as opposed to harmonics.
Frank Gambale: "Modes, no more Mysteries"
In under 4 minutes you managed to explain what all my music teachers failed to do during all my years at school. Scales never made sense and suddenly apparently it's all connected and logical! thank you!
I totally agree, great explanations
What the hell have I just watched. This guy is absolutely amazing. I feel like a dog who has just been shown a card trick. I'm 40 and have been playing paino since I was 6 and this level of understanding of music is humbling on the most basic of topics or so i thought. Back to the drawing board for me as I have spent years experimenting and understanding the relationships of notes as a song writer and performer but wow thank you so much for this video. I've watched it once and I think ill need several more watches to fully comprehend what is being taught and then I'd say about 2 years of implementing this on the piano but wow thank you. Mind blown 😳
I need to watch this many times over
I felt exactly the same way when I bought 'The Guitar Grimoire (Scales and Modes)"after having played guitar for 30 yrs (by ear: I knew chord families and pentatonic major and minor scales, plus Major/Ionian modes, and the steps between the intervals of said intervals, but didn't realize I was playing these different modes. Simple example: when playing lead over the D or D7 chords in the key of G, while starting and ending on the D note (or at least highlighting that note) while playing G Major scale/ Ionian Mode, I was playing Mixolydian Mode.
It just took one illustration for me to see and understand scales and modes.
Chords are derived from scales and modes.
It's quite simple, really.
The Guitar Grimoire changed EVERYTHING in the 1990s-- everyone started playing guitar scales diagonally up the neck, rather than in blocks, and no one I know knows who wrote that series of books, as the author used the pseudonym Adam Kadmon (as in Adam & Eve in Judaic mysticism); and wore a mask in the (sub par) video series.
It's amazing how someone who *thoroughly* understands theory can convey that info so clearly, like the gentleman playing and teaching in this video.
Bravo!!
Agreed
As a classically trained pianist trying to understand jazz music theory, this blew my fuckin mind. Well done sir!!
I taught jazz guitar for 10 years and actually made a decent living at it. The information in this video was the "holy grail" that we would build towards in our lessons. Your presentation is hands-down the absolute best explanation of this heady material. All of western music is encompassed in this system. In modern composition, modulating using common pivot chords is the foundation of breaking out of the jazz progression box. That's the secret the big boys use. What a beautiful and relaxing presentation. Bravo!
Thank you so much!!! Cheers from Oliver
What would be the best way to go about learning this on guitar?
@@ihateyou3836 The instrument you are playing is secondary to understanding the theory presented here. Here is my specific recommendation for guitar: 1. Learn ONE major scale inside-out up and down the neck. Let's say C major scale. Google C major guitar positions for specific fingerings, or find a good TH-cam video. This one scale is inclusive of all the seven modes: C Ionian, D Dorian, E Phrygian, F Lydian, G Mixolydian, A Aeolian (natural minor), and B Locrian. Then by simple fret movement you will be able to play all 12 major scales anywhere on the neck. For example, move everything up 2 frets from C major, and it's a D major scale and all of the associated modes of D major. 2. The next thing is to learn ONE harmonic minor scale up and down the neck. Then apply the same chromatic shifting up and down the neck to have it in all keys. 3. Learn ONE jazz melodic minor scale and apply the same process. The main thing here is to wrap your head around the idea that ALL of the modes are included in these three scales: Major, harmonic minor, and melodic minor. Instructors get wrapped up in separating the modes and learning them individually, and the student quickly becomes overwhelmed. So here is the secret: Rather than learning all 21 modes of the 3 scales, it's easier to learn 3 scales inside-out, and KNOW in your head what modes are derived from them. I know this might sound insanely complicated, but people devote their lives to this topic. It's a lifelong endeavor. If you aspire to creating great music, be deliberate in your search to find good instructors. Best of luck to you!
@@bpmac123 thank you for the awesome response 👍🏿
@@ihateyou3836 You bet!
I've played and taught guitar for decades, and actually learned beginning music theory on piano in school.
But this is hands down the most complete and comprehensive 20 minute lesson I've ever seen on scales.
_Subscribed._
Hey man mee too. Same life 😀
Mastering music theory is one thing. Explaining music theory to a beginner is another. They can also explain music theory in an understandable way. Thank you for this video!
I've been playing keyboard for 20 years, and I have never heard anything as deep, as profound, as useful and as important, all wrapped up in simplicity, in such basic language that even a child could understand it. This my friend, is a GOLD, I am blow away. Plus, I don't usually write comments online, but whoah, I had to for this treasure. Thank you so much for this video...
Easy explanation ,easy understanding. Thank you.
Totally agree!!
watching this video was like living in a small room for decades and then opening the door and walking out on the street
Hahaha - Great - and thanks :)
i know i was like WWHAT - you rock new jazz
Yeah, but the street was too bright and too loud and crowded and I ran back straight into my cozy safe little room. :)
Your a Top waffler 😮😲😯✨🤣🤣🤣✨🌼🌿🌞🌿🌼✨
@@uhuebner I know the feeling 😂😂
This entire video is endlessly useful, but I feel like I've spent my whole 40+ year musical life looking for a summary as succinct as 16:14 through 18:25. What I've come to realize is that there is not enough time in the span of one human being's life to fully explore this subject matter. Thankfully creators such as this fine gent have volunteered their own time and creativity to give us all a head start.
Well that’s the beauty of all of us being unique and being gifted with sound in this way where we can all share our sounds with each other and usually have it in some way sound like something different. No one person can or should be capable of naturally embodying every different aspect of sound
@@ChronoMune Totally agree, music's importance in the history of human invention has got to be in the top 5. I'd love to see a study on that.
Bus driver!!!!!!!! What a great lesson from a great teacher and a great presentation tools. Never stop please.
Thanks a lot :) Actually I have a Master in Music but I just like to do something completely different and drive the city bus to make the extra income :)
@@NewJazz you are amazing
@@khantuta Well said!
@@NewJazz Oliver, I imagine you speaking to your bus passengers in the same tone of voice. If your side job was carpentry I'd be concerned about your talented fingers. Thanks for the interesting look at scales.
@@davidcox8961 Tell me about it. I play seriously and 2 years ago put the fingers of my left hand through a tablesaw, causing some serious damage. Now, 2 1/2 years later after hundreds of hours of hard work, I'm playing again and loving it. Still enjoy my woodworking but am a little more careful these days! Cheers from Sydney - Dave
Until now, I've never heard scales played with so much love. I adore the analogy of 7 families with various members and relationships between them. Thank you for sharing this. ♡
I’m sure you’re starting to realise but, you really are the most dearly loved jazz teacher on the Tube...
...well, you and Jazz Duets 🙃
Jazz duets is great!
Walk that bass Is also great
jens!
@@gonzalodossantos3176 ooooh, my man!
Hear! Hear!
We're so lucky he's here.
I love Oliver' s Pentatonic grip
He's shown my jazz and Chinese music*
As a guitar player, I feel both overwhelmed and empowered. Thanks for unlocking my fretboard and my understanding to further explore limitless possibilities. This is a great turning point.
I’m speechless. You’re a music theory scientist. I’ve never thought of seeing scales this way. You’re literally the guy I was looking for in demystifying the chord to scale relationship. WOW. Thank you so much!!!
you are the reason why at 42 yo i'm starting to learn music and play the piano
I'm 38 and more focused to learn then I was when I was younger
I'm 44 and learning... Although this lesson is too confusing too me. But I feel that if I understand and learn it - I can freely improvise whatever I want. Am I mistaken?
Me at 39 ...
@@WojciechKobus even if you don't learn scales you can improvised by just learning so many songs and it will feel natural like your pressing notes that you don't know what your playing just hitting random keys but it sounds good. It just comes naturally so don't worry about it too much. I tried to learn many songs that i like to keep myself motivated and improvising comes naturally
@@idekwt Thank you, I keep learning stuff!! I really love it! I see you are into animation :) I'm learning that as well, maybe getting older makes me going more into art stuff ;]
Dang it! Nobody has EVER explained this concept so clearly and precisely!!! You've given me a reason to really memorize as many of these families as I can so I can utilize this concept... thank you!
As many have already stated, this is by far one of the best music theory lessons I have ever been given. Thank you a million times.
I wish I had seen this 20 years ago. The guy who explained modes to me had me confused for nearly 3 years, before I figured it out. Your teaching method is WAY better than any I've EVER seen! Thank You!
Same!
It's certainly easy to overcomplicate
Brilliant. Born to teach. Such a wonderful and calming voice.
This video is like an award-winning documentary.
How many other viewers have struggled for months to understand modes, only to watch the first 4 minutes of this vid and realise how easy it is?
Great lesson vid! Subscribed.
HAHA - Great!!! Thanks a lot :) :) :)

One of my hobbies is designing algorithms for computer-generated music. These simple rules will make the result much more interesting. Thanks!
You should definitely consider making content about that man. Certainly interesting
wishing you all the best my friend
Cool
You should also learn about the rhythmic scale, poly-rhythms, etc. If you haven't done so already
What language did you build it in and can we download it?
I am teaching myself to play bass guitar and have been frustrated by the lack of depth of most of the videos on music theory. This video has shed the scales from my eyes. (pun intended) I am blown away. it's like having a glimpse of heaven. Thank you so much.
What an intergalactic lesson, Oliver, I can only imagine how much work there must be behind it, thank you man!
Oliver and Uwe, you have lifted the fog of ignorance from my eyes....and ears! my walks in the forest listening to birds singing now have a new meaning and expanded dimension. Music is our soul’s language and can show us the path back to harmony with nature and our place within.
Can't say I got everything but what I got was it certainly amazing
You are the Bob Ross of music teachers !! I think this is the best jazz improvisation video on youtube - the best explanation I've ever seen ^_^
This may sound weird maybe, but I got tears in my eyes watching this video. Thank you so much for explaining this in such a crystal clear way! Just what I was looking for!
Holy shit. This was such an eureka moment for me. When I learned the major modes for the first time, I understood the existence of other familial modes too, but it never really made sense to me how I could use them and how they fit together with chord progressions, I simply didn't get the point. This has truly opened my eyes to so many new and wonderful musical posibilities.
Wish I could try them out right now, but I've got nerve damage which is preventing me from playing for the time being, but this has definitely made me even more excited to recover as fast as I can. Thank you so much, truly.
This is by far the best explanation I've ever encountered about scales. Hats off to you good sir. And thank you.
The simple act of putting scale in a circle is so. damn. powerful.
this guy is either a genius savant or one of the most highly trained jazz musicians to ever grace youtube to date!!
Thank you from Serbia. The upcoming autumne and winter now have a whole different meaning. I drink my beer now celebrating the fact that I have everything I need to dedicate myself to in order to give it back to people after I craft it, just cant wait to hear augmented modes coming out of my horn. Oh my god , this is the same feeling I ve had once when my parents bought me commodore 64.
That’s cool. My Dad drove a bus but had a Masters in Education and was a teacher his whole life. He also sang in a Quartet, made a few records, played piano, and thanks to him, I have had a love affair with music my whole life. He bought me a Banjo when I was five. I now play guitar and have been trying to learn Jazz( theory) since I’m pretty much self taught. Thank you for your insights and having the heart to share your understanding to the world. It makes a difference. Positive energy!, I feel you, bro❤️
You are the definition of what a good teacher must be. Listening to your lecture makes me wanna rush to my piano and start playing.
How is it going?
I am convinced this is the best music lesson on the internet. There are no words to express how thankful I am. We love you, Oliver!
I can't believe that this is true. This is by far the most useful music video that I've watched in my life.
Thank you very much for this man.
As a guitar player trying to learn music theory and modes, this is the most easy to understand lesson I have come across and I thank you so much.
My entire musical WORLD has been given NEW EYES! As a transposing instrument (sax), I've struggled with Improvisation over more the complex chord progressions. With this understanding my brain just LIT UP with visual colors. I'm highly thankful for this lesson & I'm seeking more.
The scales lighting up as options for chords are a masterful touch! S tier.
This is the best video about musical scales I've ever seen. Congrats, man. This is so usefull. Great method.
This man can read an entire dictionary and I would listen it as if he's reading a story book
Hahaha - thanks :) Cheers from Oliver
So elegant and soothing voice, very immersive into the content.
I can hear it now :-)
What are you talking about? He talks weird as fuck.
After watching the video until 16:51, it was like a new world was open for me, I just realized how amazing and interesting music theory is
What a great video, one of the best I’ve ever seen! 👏
This lesson was a great revision to ur earlier ones. I loved every bit of it despite my limitations. I am 75. Tks to you, my Guru.
I have been messing around with music since I was 14. I owned several chord and scale books and practiced then to get muscle memory. I never really looked at the theory behind because anytime I tried to learn I just get that blank stare in my eyes. This has been hands down the best explanation of scales I have ever heard. I turned 40 this year. Thank you so much, Oliver!
Thisnm is, hands down, the BEST "introduction to music theory" I have ever watched, in terms of content, procedural approach, speed, logic, visual aid, content articulation. Kudos!!!
That was absolutely the best lesson on scales and theory that I have had in my life! You have opened the door to another universe and answered so many questions, I don't know where to begin....I think I'll start with the harmonic Major. God Bless You!
I simply can't imagine the amount of work that goes into these videos, you are a real teacher!!
I have been trying to understand music theory for more than half of my life, and now I can confidently conclude and accept that I am incapable of understanding these things. At least not enough to be able to implement them in a live scenario. Great job to all who understand this, it is still all rocket science to me but thank you to great teachers like this. More and more musicians anre making great music with this knowledge.
Hi and thanks :) :) :) And don’t worry. It’s definitely not a must to know about scales and advanced music theory to play great Music!!! The most important thing is to use your good ear ;)
Cheers from Oliver
3 days into your channel, more progress in comprehension & playing than the previous 3 years easily... I'm speechless, thx a lot, I'll share this everywhere I can
If the world were to receive an EMP to the internet and I could only save one video to study music for the rest of eternity, it would without a doubt be this one. Your teaching is so good it almost seems unfair to anyone who has pain thousands for lessons... You are a God-send my friend
Only 5 mins watched and this is one of the best tutorials I have seen. Paused to read and see who you are ! So impressed! Thanks for your effort and sharing your calm soulful experience with us.
This is the most legendary music theory lesson i've ever seen
THANK YOU
Just so u know u grew up to be an honest, humble and an extremely respectable man, thank you very much for who u are and for this magnificent lesson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This twenty one minute tutorial stimulates about twenty hours, no...twenty days....of study and practice. This is a lot, Oliver, and I'm not complaining. The scales are so fascinating, sometimes exotic and "eastern" sounding, like the half diminished scale. I love that one, and the inverted augmented. Lions tigers and bears OMY!
Oliver, this is one of the best composition lessons I've had in my whole life. A big thank you from London!!
At 67, I am doing the most intensive study of music to date in my life. It is a huge, rich and rewarding study. I highly recommend this to anyone, especially senior citizens. Thank you very kindly for this very well organized and well paced gentle gradient explanation. Very satisfying. Thank you. (I said that twice because I felt it twice as much, not because I forgot saying it the first time!)
I was schooled in classical music, completed a master's degree and a PhD (not in composition). Later I tried to expand my knowledge of improvisation and scales because I became interested in jazz, but hadn't been able to find sources that organize this kind of information so transparently. This material is wonderfully organized and thorough. Thank you so much for putting it together!
This one lesson totally opened up jazz for me. I finally get it about what most jazz players are playing, and what modal playing is all about. Thanks alot.
Last piano lesson with my teacher was about 17 years before. This was so refreshing and so easy to understand! Thank you so much!
I usually don't comment on videos but this deserves appreciation .. never have i ever encountered a video that explains such a complex or big topic so fluently and make it seem so easy thanks man.. i really wish u all the very best in ur music journey and i really hope u get where u wanna be
That was a great lesson! 40 years too late for me. After two guitar teachers and a half dozen lessons they still didn’t teach me a single scale. I quit the lessons and became self-taught. I know every scale that was shown here plus all the others. I reinvented a 49 note scale on my guitar and I had to go to the auditorium and use their piano to figure out how many notes until it repeated. When I realized it was 49 I went online and put in 49 note scale and it came up. Very rarely used by some old Russian composers, some of the most moving pieces ever written. Thank you for the affirmation of my knowledge of music theory. 🕊🦋🍀🎸
Thank you thank you thank you! Finally someone presents modes in a logical, constructive and complete manner! I have searched for this a long time!
How do I choose a scale for any chord? I didnt really get it from 15.46min
I've been playing piano by ear for my entire life (I'm 22 yrs old), only making an attempt at music theory a few times. Strangely enough as I continued learning more by ear I found myself "creating" patterns which really turned out to just be scales, (which of course have their own given names and patterns already lol). Well enough about me I really wanted to say thank you, and to let you know that I'm blown away with the presentation and execution of this video. This is incredible!
Thanks a lot. Playing by the ear is all that we need to do Music. The music theory is just for reflections - what happened - if we're interested in that part as well ;) Cheers from Oliver
The best presentation of information I’ve ever come across in understanding the inter relationships of chords and scales.
Thank you.
That little cardboard tool is literally the coolest musical tool I've ever seen ever in my entire life!
After a lifetime of searching, I now have found the only video that belongs on the internet. This video should be archived as well as placed on the next Golden Record.
This will take my music production to a level I never knew I could reach. Thank you so much for this friend you all are brilliant at New Jazz💯💯💯💯
Dear Oliver, I watch your video's for years now. Your musical knowledge is astonishing. The piano sound is heavenly. Your talking is mesmerizing. The resulting video is just an amazing experience. This is pure art!
this is the first time I have ever seen modal jazz explained in a way that makes sense. Thank you so much for this!

@@NewJazz Thank you so much. :-)
I don't have a question really, I just wanted to say good job, and give you a bit of recognition for the wheel you made. 👍
I crafted something very similar to yours about a year ago. Made one for myself, and a couple friends got one too. The one I made is much more basic though, as far as the information it returns. With mine, rotating the disks to situate the desired root note in place reveals the notes of the scale, but only for the major scales. On the wheel I have, I later penned in an "m" and "M" in the corresponding positions to reveal key chords of the root scale as either minor or major.
That's as far as my little project went though. I suppose I could have constructed a separate wheel for minor chords and scales, but there was no real demand for it. Plus, hand crafting those things was fairly time consuming. Moreover, I wanted to come up with a way to combine the different interval sequence of the major and minor scales, and incorporate them somehow into the same wheel. My pursuit of other interests meant that I never saw that realized.
Actually, I _do_ have a question for you. Does your wheel use individual inserts for the different scale families, such that only one can be viewed at a time? Or have to beat me to the secret of how to construct the ultimate all-inclusive musical clockwork mechanism of awesomeness??.. 🤓
I have a question, do you have some software about modes and scales like this? so we can play and improvise within the software ?
Oh lordy. I've played classical piano for over 40 years and have attempted to jump into jazz a few times, but with varying degrees of failure and confusion. I've almost had tears of joy as I watch - suddenly I feel less daunted by the new thinking that a classical mindset has to move to. Thank you so much and I hope you're keeping well! Warm regards and thanks from Sydney - Dave
Never seen an explanation so organized, explained, clean visually, with the right flow of speech, without unnecessary words. This is a public utility video. A huge congratulations for this video, it's people like you who make things happen.
ive played piano about 12 years and this is still eye opening, thank you
I finally understand all of this! It's amazing how clear this lesson is and how helpful it can be to self-taught musicians like me.
Good Lord! Out of the many different explanations of the main scales used in Jazz and contemporary music (well over 20 in a span of more than 40 years), this is the clearest, most logical lesson I've ever seen! Thank you very much! I've been looking for something like this to help explain music theory to my very musically talented son, who often doesn't quite have the drive (obsession, whatever it is that serious musicians have) to spend the necessary time and effort required to gain a functional knowledge of music. ❤️❤️❤️🎶🎵🎸😁☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕
You're amazing. Finding new visual ways to grasp such complex concepts is truly impressive.
Thanks TH-cam algorithm, this is the most wholesome music channel!
I've recommended you channel to my musicians colleges. I like your charm, voice, your hands moving with elegance, your sistematic explanations, always starting from basics...
Congratulations and many thanks
This is the best music tutorial I've ever seen in my lifetime. Very useful! Thanks.
Thank you Oliver. You are best teacher i have ever seen in youtube.
So clear and methodical. I love that! And I love it that he explains at a slow pace so we can think and down load the ideas as he presents them. As a school psychologist I will say that he's a natural teacher.
Do you know, in my 30 years of playing, I have never seen this explained this the way before. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks to Oliver, this brilliant lesson will give the ambitious student a huge head start with the piano!
Every video I watch of yours makes me want to sit down at the piano and play around. This is NOT the case with other people's teaching, where I more often than not simply feel discouraged and overwhelmed. Your teaching is motivating. In other words, I want to explore and I enjoy it, even when it's hard getting used to things. I have a hard time stopping!
This was the very first video I've seen from you and I instantly subscribed. I thought I had found really good lessons on youtube already. But that was before I found your channel. Such a high quality of presentation, you're just on another level entirely. The best part is that I understood everything and my brain didn't even hurt. Thanks so much for making this available.
Thank you so much!!!
Very very comprehensive, this is a goldmine that any aspiring musician can land on. If you made it here, let's shake hands and raise a toast for it 👌🖤 Thanks a lot for your generosity Mr Oliver, as always, you are a blessing and I can't thank you enough.
What I was learning in my music theory class during 7 years, here is in 20 minutes. Big thanks for this excellent video.
Sir, In just 24 hours I watched this video 9 times, and learned something new every time I watched it...👏👏
I absolutely love that in the first 90 seconds you blow our minds. I've sent this video to soooooo many people introducing them to the channel.
Man, congrats. I can't even realize how is possible to have a video like this on TH-cam for free. You're amazing man, really. Thank tou, I feel like you just gave me the piece that was missing on my learning progress
What the heck?!!! Hands down, this is the clearest, most well thought out, and effective lesson I've experienced yet. I've never looked at it in this way. Excellent work. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom! Wow.
Oh my goodness! Mind BLOWN. It may sound silly and simple, but I am a lifetime musician, having learned my first instrument as a young child, but my early music education was sadly lacking a theory base. I have been making up for lost time, and have come to know modes, the different scales, intervals, etc. BUT - just now, after literally decades of studying and a love of music, this information was presented in a way that set off a major lightbulb above my head. So much I thought I had learned has suddenly become so clear and a wealth of understand has flooded my brain. Thank you so much! If I had the means in these lean times, I would make a donation of thanks. As it is, I will do my part and subscribe to your great channel I have just discovered.
Thank you so much!!! And don't worry about donating. A really nice comment like yours is all the support I need :) Many warm regards from Oliver
I've studied music theory for years, but this video changes the way that I think about modes and harmonies. Thank you for the great information!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!
I've been having so much trouble figuring out how the scales and their modes are supposed to be used, so I've always been very reluctant to play my guitar... With this graph I can finally practice some improvisation and not feel like I'm trying to decipher some ancient code!
thats why i call music is a language, and he is a native speaker with a doctorate on it.
Bloody Brilliant - I am a lost guitar player trying to learn piano and within 3 minutes of this lesson I can already form all major modes on a whim and understand the basics of chord theory for minor major an diminished. Like a reboot of lost knowledge but cleaned up my understanding thank you. This is gold!
