      She forgot to turn of the transposer (+3 semitones) after her example at 2:41, which got me (as a noob to basic chords and trying to follow her) a hell of a lot confused when after that my chords did not sound the same as her's.. :/

    I'm an aspiring music artist who's just getting into music production and this was actually a really helpful video! Finding the right chords for a melody can sometimes be tricky, especially if in your head, you hear a different flavor of chord for a certain note, but you have no idea how to actually replicate it on an instrument. Building off one of these might help.

    I understand the theory behind calling a first-inversion a "6" chord, but I think a lot of musicians will interpret that phrase as meaning to add a 6 (in this case, A) to the triad.

      It's a matter of music theory: you're "supposed to" end with a V, because it's a very strong and consonant ending. If you want more detail, check out the expression "circle of fifths" (and it's related chord progressions). Jazz and classical music people do it all the f****in' time.

      @@alessandro9740 on a major scale, the most stable chord (the chord that gives you a sense of begging or ending) is the chord that names the scale. In this case C major. The chord made out of the 6th note, (A minor) is pretty good at it too. Two chords that won't give you the felling of "it's over" are the V chord and the VII chord. V never resolves (of course there is always a trick to break the rule, but not in this case), it leads (aka makes you wanna listen) to I. I and vi resolve

    I'm glad there was a III chord in there somewhere. Peggy, you shouldn't be afraid to introduce the term "inversion" to your audience. I get that this is geared towards beginners, and as such it's a fine video, but introducing the real terminology is a great teaching moment, because the next time a person hears "inversion", he or she realizes that it's a simple concept, and already knows what it is.

    You avoided explaining that what you call a "six" chord is based on Figured Bass Traditional Harmony. Meaning, the Root of the Chord is 6 notes higher than the Bass Note. This goes back to days of Bach. However, I teach my students modern harmony, in which a "six" chord is a triad plus the 6th scale degree added to the triad.

    A chord progression that uses all the chords in a major scale: I/vi/ii/iii/IV/viidim/I/V. I play each chord for two beats, a good tempo for the feel is 60bpm. I repeat this but replace the V chord with a tonic seventh. For the next progression of the song I like to play a major IV/ivfor one full bar each, then I/vi for two beats each then a V for a full bar. Repeat the IV, then play for iv/V7 for two beats and then the tonic for 2 full bars. You can loop back around to the first progression or do whatever you like. It’s fun to impress people with all the chords, especially when you drop some chords that aren’t in the key (I7, iv)

    Number 10 has me confused. You played a minor, F major, a minor, E minor, which in the key of C would be vi, IV, vi, III. But you wrote the progression as though it were the relative minor,, A with a minor tonic chord.
    Is that matter of preference or is there a reason for that?
    Also, you played a C major first inversion, and called it a V6, which I sort of get, but since the g chord isnt using the 5th, why not call it a C/E?
    Thx.

      Number 10 has me confused too, but she clearly played C minor, then F major (not the VI chord, but the IV chord), C minor, Gm), so the progression played (I played along) was: i IV i v, not i VI i v. I think it was a booboo, but she clearly knows more theory than I do.
      Was this a test to see if we were paying attention??? I do have 6 fingers on my left hand, and as a guitarist, I can do lots of super cool chords, but sometimes I miscount on progressions. I would love to see a response from @LANDR, who I have to respect for this otherwise fun and great video!

      Indeed, something is not correct. in #10 Peggy plays i-VI-i-v in root positions (a-minor key). When demoing in her DAW, where the v-chord is supposed to be a G chord is given (a VII when seen in a). The midi files contain a file with the shown chord info, but is named i-VI-i-V. So what is it that you want us to take home?

    • @LANDRmusic
      @LANDRmusic  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Hey everyone! Thanks for the great comments. Peggy switched to the key of A minor for number 10. This changes all the roman numerals to reflect that, and you'll see that with the letter "I" as a lower case "i" for the one chord: A minor. The five chord of A minor is usually E major due to the harmonic minor raised 7th: G#. In this case, it is a minor triad: E minor, with the lower case v. This should have been something we prefaced before getting into it. As far as the MIDI file goes, it is incorrect and will be fixed!

    How is the 3rd chord in #4 (Bass Player Prog) I6? Shouldn't that have an A in it if it is 6? You are playing E G C... isn't that just an inverted I chord?

    • @LANDRmusic
      @LANDRmusic  4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Great question. The 6 in this case stands for "first inversion", which has the 3rd of the chord in the bass. The 6 stand for the interval between the bass note "E", and the root note "C". Learn more about inversions here: blog.landr.com/figured-bass-chord-inversions/

      I will spare you the intense music theory definition but, what she did with the plugin is raise the pitches. This is termed "transposing" so while the keyboard is playing the note C the sound that you are hearing from it is an Eb. This is something that many orchestra instruments do. For example the Clarinet in A will play the note C (on a music staff) but the note that your ears will hear is an A! That difference in pitch is called the "interval of transposition". The use case is different here only because she is changing the transposition at a whim and normal instruments cannot do that.

      @stefan1024 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      "I6" can be used as notation for the 1st inversion of the I chord: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figured_bass#Numbers
      I would avoid this notation though, because it kind of clashes with other notations. For example she uses "ii7" in the same progression, which doesn't refer to any inversion but to a tension (a minor ii chord with it's 7 on top). In this context I'd read "I6" as a I chord with it's 6 on top (for example in C this would be c e g a).
      I suggest writing inversions with shash chords: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slash_chord
      It works fine with actual chords. For example you'd notate the first inversion of C as "C/E", a C major chord but with E in bass. I don't know if it clashes with any notation standards of the number system, but I'd probably read "I/III" or "III/3" as 1st inversion of I, a I chord, but with it's 3rd in bass.
      edit: Seems like slashes in the number system don't work that way but refer to secondary dominants and such: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_chord
      Honestly to me that kind of notation feels more like a music theory analysis of the progression and less like a usable chord sheet to play along songs though. Every notation has it's strengths and weaknesses, I guess. I don't know, maybe write just "I (with 3rd in bass)", "I (1st inversion)" or something like that :)
