- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 ก.ย. 2024
- This video is about getting to know/becoming friends with
each note of the major scale - how each one is unique in its relation to the tonic or root chord.
To facilitate this process each degree is associated with well known tunes by Queen, Bach, Mozart, The Beatles, The Police, Beethoven,
Hoagy Carmichael and many others!
In the video I talk about 'musical gravity' and the harmonic series
and give tests and suggest ways to practice, strengthen this
the essential Skill that is of paramount importance for the musician.
1:40 the root
2:15 the sixth
3:10 Musical Gravity
3:45 The third
4:15 killer exercise
5:15 the 9th
6:10 the fourth
7:20 the Harmonic series
7:50 the Fifth
8:40 major 7th
9:45 crib sheet!
10:00 Test
11:05 Answers!
suggestions for more songs greatly appreciated in the comments
especially major 7th and 4ths!!!
Wow! Completely agree. Hearing chord and note relationship is a really important skill for every musician that will open a door for better understanding of music from inside!
Great video, thank you! Subscribed on your channel ;)
P.S. Nice track compilation. From Miles Davis to Beatles. That was cool :D
4ths sound like one of the most normal notes to me.
A solution is to find notes-tab without any tab-notes
examples i play song which have no tab
and it sounds great

This was ten minutes of my life WELL spent.
As self-taught same as you, I find it amazing that we think about music the same way. Gravity, feeling the notes within scales, it's all rather fascinating we evolved such similar ways of thinking!
This .. is exactly what video music education should be. Of all the iterations, this is the first to really meet (and surpass) expectations. While others have their own strengths, *this* masters pedagogy.

This opens the door into years of ear training work. Phenomenal!
Yes it is very useful to have a good ear, because in some situation, eventhough we are quite good at our instrument, if a friend or family or say we play in a restaurant and someone ask us to play an easy piece that is not on our " répertoire" (eg. Happy birthday) and we rely only to sheet music and not used to play "by ear" , instantly people tell themself " this pianist is not so good, he can't play this very easy piece". Eventhough we can play a good arranging of Giant Step or any difficult classic piece.
THAT SONG SELECTION THO
This thing ...5th...called... 6th ...
I am learning so much from you ! Very grateful 😊
Musical gravity! I love it. Makes so much sense now. Thankyou
I've always been told I have a great ear, but never had a full understanding I was hearing and the relationship between the chords and notes. I would mimic what I heard. These videos will most assuredly help me to have a better understanding of what I was always able to hear but could not fully understand.
I subscribed to your channel because you helped me to see the value of understanding these relationships. Good show mate.
Thank you for this video. I'm making watching this video an assignment for my college Ear Training course.
A lot of times students don't seem to understand just how important ear training is to the musician. I think this video will help with that.
I'm hoping that you will add more to this series. I'm now a subscriber.
Wat een openbaring. Dit wist ik nog niet. Weer wat bijgeleerd.
You are a brilliant communicator of the science of sound for any thinking soul. Thanks!
Thanks!!!!
speaks for me.
This is AMAZING
one of the best YT channel for the music!! please don't stop man!
PS if you can , make another video about ear treaning, are very interesting
Working on one today , cheers!
I play doublebass and some others, guitar, cello, mandolin, flute, accordeon, I sing.. I really wanna say I like ur contribution, really helps me a lot .THNX! :))
Nick Eres estupendo! me encantan tus vídeos. Los estoy viendo todos. Mi novia me dice: "¿ya estás viendo otra vez los videos de los ratoncitos?" Aprendo mucho contigo. Eres un gran profesor. Por cierto, a mi novia ya le están empezando a gustar tus videos.Gracias por hacerlos, muchas gracias.
Very effective...and good idea to memorize note
I admire your collection of songs!
Incredible Work !! Thank you !!
Best music educational channel on youtube
Loved it. Can’t wait for part 2.
Still part 1 after 4 years. Puhlease man, continue this series-to-be.
This is great! When are you gonna put part two out? Will it be the same approch for minor tonalities?
Thanks !
You are best guy I love your idea and good idea
Love your content, you really teach what is important to become a good musician
Fantastic explanation. More vids pls.
Beautiful concepts and sense of music Nick! I love you videos!!! Thank you very much!
Freddie *the* Freeloader? Hmmm , great video toots. Have some taffy. Toot-toot!
Brilliant! I love your teachings! Thanks so so much!!!
This is such a great help for those who want to understand music, thank you very much
Great learning maestro
Love this a lot 👌👍💞
It's awesome brother great exercise
Thank you so much for the great videos and the good teaching approach. I really appreciate it!
This is the first video I watched on the channel
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR AWESOME MUSICAL KNOWLEDGE...BE WELL AND GOOD ALWAYS SIR....
great video! thank you very much! the usual approach is identifying the first interval of a song, which really are the first 2 notes played. your approach is slighlty different: it's the first note in context of the first chord (not 2 notes, only 1). I really like that and I think it lets you feel more the note (or implicit interval). really great!
could you share popular songs for the other intervals like b9, b7, b6 and tritone? those are really hard to find, especially the b9 and tritone. I think also altered notes could be worth identifying as seperate intervals, even if for example a #9 is technically a b3, but in dominant context. but I guess that barely exists as the first note of a song. thanks a lot!
That was awesome the more we relate to what we look like to listen to the more we can relate to how music resolves becomes part of us so we all can find home well worth checking out thank you
You can think of the Bach motif note H (two b or not two b). It may help you spell "whether" properly.
You always have the best info in your videos
Great lessons. Your enthousiasm is catching.
Thanks for introducing me to some great music.. Cheers!
This was harder than I expected, but very interesting. :-)
🔥👊🏾
wow this helped me a lot! i really love your channel! more power!
2:13, the thing they have in common is they sound exactly the same
Sound really different to me, just the same genre
Buenos videos!
Very much great full of interesting interest interesting approach...
Wow, fantastic 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Holy shit this video is SUPER USEFUL. Great stuff man thanks so much!
this is great
Love these videos, friend. Thank you
If He likes It Let Him Do It by The Drums starts with a major 7th interval
Those are really beautiful examples
Amazing channel !!! (In my opinion "crazy little things.." starts with a fifth.)
Same. Its a fifth.
It IS a fifth.
I will apply this like question and answer !!
Thanks
I imagine the root to be the "mother" and the other notes are the children who want to go back to mum. 2 and 7 are small children, very attached to mummy, four and five are older children and a bit more independent already :-) the non diatonic notes are friends of the the kids that they brought to the house but who are not attached to the mother... There is a great free Android app that helped me a lot with my ear training, it's called functional ear trainer.
Ameelia K thank you!
That's a great way to see it!! Wow!
And thanks for the suggestion 😊
Well presented, as expected. I’m particularly intrigued by the relationship between (in chrono order) the New World Symphony (theme), Edelweiss and Every Breath You Take.
New World - 355 321 23521
Edelweiss - 359 854 3334565
Every Breath - 343211 343211 11341 11432 21311
They all start on the 3rd perhaps?
Matthew Taylor Nice numerics, and yes the 3 pieces begin on the 3rd note of the major scale.
Thank you for the ear training. These old ears are struggle outside the 1st octave. Lol.
When the chord changes for example for a IV chord, do you keep the same numbering for the melody notes (relative to the key center of the song) or do you change the numbering relative to the new chord being played behind ?
this is amazing, thank you so much
Merci.
wow, lovely video! good job!
Great!! Following!!! Thank you
Where's part 2? This was great!
cheers! please be patient!
Jazz Duets almost a year, when will it be?
yep, I’m just waiting patiently:/
Yes, please provide lesson two! Thanks
thank you！
Your video is excellent.
Super idea !
very interesting and useful, thank you
Very well produced
Congratulations for this video, I just wanted to add that sometimes the 7th major is attracted by the sixth like in "After You've Gone"
Beside an awesome explanation ,you just nailed the point how our hearing abilities are subjected to change in this changing world.
If there is a second part here goes my grain of sand:
Augmented 4th: Last movement of Stravinsky's Firebird
Close Encounters reference sold me the sub 😂 fantastic work!
Thank you. Very useful
i hear a perfect 5th for girl from Ipanema (melody note Eb over Ab Maj 7 Chord)
I thought so too. But I looked up a chart and it had the first note as G over a Fmaj7 chord.
Peter Cavanagh yes the charts are all in Fmaj because Jobim composed it in that key, but the extract we hear is from the Getz & Gilberto album where it's transposed up a minor 3rd to Ab.
The chord sound is Dbmajor9 ,the Ab is the fifth of the chord.
Some latin guitar play this style to make a darker cohrd sound.
But it's still a Dbmajoj9 chord to Eb9 chord,so that
the melody is Eb , started a from 2nd .
(Sorry that I can't type English well)
Is the 5th of the scale. And that's another element: are we talking about in relationship to the de diatonic scale of the key of the piece or the chord being played at the moment.
There are things I like about this video, but the problem I've had is that we aren't given enough context to establish the key in our ears, especially with The Girl from Ipanema. The root is unclear in that clip.
Magnificent!
Maestro! Me encantan tus videos. Por favor si pudieras traducirlos, entiendo un poquito. Muchas gracias!!!
I did ear training a few years ago but the "musical gravity" is a good point, may save me in the future if I forget what a descending major 6th sounds like or another interval, lol
Thank you!
You are Amazing dude, mil gracias
Amazingly crafted video and examples, thank you so much! Does part 2 exist? Could not find it among the channel's video.
this great, thanks for sharing
Excellent video. Btw, I'm pretty sure I hear a perfect fifth at the beginning of "Crazy little thing called love", at the very end of the video.
Excellent video
Wonderful.
I got confused at first because I thought you were referring to the notes relative to the C as the root because the C scale is always shown after the audio example. But now I understand the point. maybe a little label under each audio example indicating the root note would help.
Thank you for super super helpful video for ear train!
btw I think in 5:17 that song doesn't start with 2nd note. It's the 1st, isn' it?
Hey man - would you consider doing a blues lesson video featuring some Lee Morgan analysis?
He's one of my favorites and I noticed you're a fan
Brilliant
Major 7th: Theme from Superman. 4th; Wedding March
Great!
Amazing ! Thank you so much, I was struggling with scale degrees since month ! But with your video, I already progress on a day !
Can we still expected a part 2 ?
Sorry for my english, I'm French !
one of the best theory class y ever see, thanks!
You're great :)
M7 = chorus of "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?"
You just got a subscriber :) 👍
Outside of this great lesson, may I ask what software you use to draw your info on the screen like that. Love it
