Naming Chords - Music Theory
ฝัง

- How good are you at naming and identifying chords in a piece of music? This music theory lesson explains how to determine the key of a given piece of music and how to work out the chords that belong to that key. It then invites you to have a look at a series of chords in a given passage in order to get good at identifying each chord. Not only does the passage include diatonic chords that belong to the key but it also embraces some chromatic chords i.e. chords that use notes that don’t belong to the key but which function in the key. Useful if you need to sharpen up your harmonic analysis skills for composing, playing, or for example preparation. Join us to get really good at identifying chords.

This was so useful! I had a real black spot about what augmented chords consisted of, but this has cleared it up completely.
That’s brilliant
I am struck again with the differences in US and British terminology. We in the States use upper case roman numerals for major chords and lower case roman numerals for minor and diminished chords. For example, in the video sample, we would begin with i for Cm and end with I for C major. Then we notate the chord inversions differently -- e.g., i6 rather than Ib for a first inversion Cm chord. Our usage I think takes its cue from figured bass notation. Finally, I have never before heard the phrase *Tierce de Picardie*; we (rather prosaically!) say Picardy Third. I find that these minor differences keep me on my toes when I am viewing Music Matters videos!
You’ve highlighted the two traditions well. Internationally there is a distinction to be made between Basic Roman and Extended Roman. In Extended Roman we use upper and lower case numerals as you describe; in Basic Roman all numbers are upper case. I’ve used Basic Roman in many of our videos just to keep it simple. Again, there are two traditions for describing inversions - Figured Bass or the letter system. Again, the letter system is slightly more straightforward. Picardy Third is absolutely fine and probably clearer but in the English tradition we tend to state it in French.
This was an eye opener for me. How beautiful were the first four chords though. deep deep feelings I could reach listening to them
That’s great
As an exercise, I paused this video before you began, and worked out all the chords. I got all of them right EXCEPT the third chord which I identified as an Fm6. I can see why you named it as you did, but it goes to show that chord naming can be a curious process. Many thanks for this excellent clear video.
Well done. Whenever you find an added 6th chord it’s always worth asking yourself if it’s really a 7th chord in first inversion. It all depends on context. Much more at www.mmcourses.co.uk
Thanks for your positive comment.
Thank you thank you thank you. Bout to start my music gcse and haven't done much music theory before but this was so helpful
That’s great. There’s more at www.mmcourses.co.uk
Thank you!❤
A pleasure. Much more at www.mmcourses.co.uk
great video, thank you
That’s really kind. Much more at www.mmcourses.co.uk
Thank you for your videos! I always go to your channel first when I want to learn about music.
I have a question though. I don’t know how to search for. What is up with the Cm/Eb and Ddim/F? Where and why did Eb and F come from?
Probably a noob question, but I still don’t know.
Thx for your videos though :) They are great!
These are slash chords. In other words before the / you get the chord; after the / you get the Bass note that needs to be played.
Thank you, fantastic video lessions as always! Just a question, why do you call the 3rd chord diminshed and not half-diminshed? Best regards from Brazil
Thanks for your kind comment. I’m simply describing the diatonic chords of the scale, where a diminished chord comprises a minor 3rd and diminished 5th above the root.
I appreciate the MM reply, but you're right, it's a half-diminished chord. Some prefer labeling those chords as 'min7b5', because that tells you _exactly_ what's going on. Here, that would be Dmin7b5/F
😀
Hii sir love your videos..i want to learn about how to make chords from melodies
Thank you that's very kind. Take a look at the videos on chords and harmony in this playlist...

I love you too
Sir what is the difference between harmonic minor scale and harmonizing a melody or chords
Harmonic minor - use the key signature then raise the 7th note ascending and descending.
Melodic minor - use the key signature then raise the 6th and 7th notes ascending; simply follow the key signature descending.
See our videos on harmonising a melody and on chords.
this is the great vedio is like and think is great

If you'd made the second last chord a G7 and given the alto the 3rd in the last chord, then that part would have had a chromatic slide from Ab down to E :-)
A perfectly possible alternative.
What chord name would you give the Italian 6th here?
It. 6th is the clearest label. Much more at www.mmcourses.co.uk including details of our online courses and of our exciting Maestros programme.
What would I call the chord A A# D when A# has to be the root?
Call it Bb instead of A# and you have a Bbmaj7 chord
Thanks. Do you never say A#maj7?@@MusicMattersGB
6:10 couldn't it be a little modulation into G harmonic minor?
Not really G minor. Don’t forget the Ab’s in this piece.
@@MusicMattersGB oh yeah! Thanks
😀
Garett Green is Great!
You’re very kind.
