The best way to think about chord progressions is in the abstract, in other words, removed from any particular key. So, rather than refering to chords with alphabetical names like "C, F, G", we can use numbers to describe their relative function in the key, "I, IV, V". And by memorising an example or two of each chord function, it can make it much easier to pick out a chord progression by ear.

"Back and forth to the fourth chord" - truly, you are turning to the punning side of the force - no bad thing of course, ^oo^
Lol
Also this is the video that gave me a Radiohead addiction
Hey David I wanted to buy the software with your link, but there is mo lifetime access. The deal is to be billed annually. Can you help?
Perfect examples, never get tired of the Beatles and Radiohead and some surprises 😄
there was no surprises here...
@@DaniloSilva-pl3sq and no alarms either
@@DaniloSilva-pl3sq I didn't expect White Rabbit for instance
@@tatjbere I literally had whiplash when he revealed the last example was White Rabbit and not Pyramid Song lol
@@matthammond3563 same
Man, David. I was trying to explain this to a kid recently and I simply couldn't explain it as wonderfully as you did. Keep inspiring not only musicians, but also teachers :)
Great video. I think "Hey There Delilah" would be another good example for the iii chord :)
Good example!
Also that evanessence song was the first example that came through my head as he played the chords
Another good trick to audiate I-iii may be "[I] Ground control to Major [iii] Tom" early in Space Oddity. Note also that the analogous line is harmonized I-III7 later, making it sound extra bright (I think) because expectations had been set..
@@jamesrodriguez3593 My Immortal? Beautiful song!
@@simonjohnston3100 exactly haha i forgot the name of that tune
This is the exact type of video I was looking for. Im trying to train my ear to recognize specific chord progressions and remember songs with certain chord progressions because I think it will help me alot. Thanks for the video :)
Excellent!
I love that you add the Beatles in all your videos
I am a music teacher, and your popular chord progression videos have been so helpful to me. Thanks, and if you feel like making more of those, I will love them!
Freaking amazing!!! Basic knowledge of music in youtube is getting better and better every day because of kind souls like you. I deeply appreciate it 💖
This is probably one of the more useful music theory videos on TH-cam I've seen . Thanks dude.
Wow, thanks!
I instantly thought of perfect day when you started talking about the iv chord!
Another good example of the I-III chord function is in "Stand by Me" by Oasis. Its main progression starts with G followed by B7.
I/ bII is used in flamenco very often. Thanks for share your theory knowledge! 😊
Hey David, just wanna let you know (if you ever read this comment, that is) that this is one of the worst problems I never knew I had when building my chord progressions.
With those nice examples of songs that make effects of different chord changes on their respective context clear, I started to memorize the feelings of each change and now when writing I can think of the effect I want and search around there instead of trying random chords.
Thank you very much for this invaluable content.
Thank you! I'm really glad you found the video helpful 🤩
Very helpful to hear how these progressions sound in popular songs we are familiar with. Thanks David!
This was so helpful! I love how you would continue to explain how it’s normally done vs. what you could change. I was able to follow the whole time.
Brilliant lesson, as always, David, and great playing on the keys. Thanks so much!
How do your videos just come at the right time i swearrr
😀😀🤩🤩
The chorus of 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' by The Beatles (George Harrison) helps me recognize the I - III progression. The Chords are also A to C#m. Some fifths are used aswell in the chorus!
Its also in the chorus of something (A to C#m)
That would rather be the I - iii progression.
The latter part of the video about less common chord functions is amazing -- it is how I choose my favourite songs. That dissonance gets me going emotionally and physically and those are the songs I just feel most while listening to. It's cool to know precisely what I'm responding to when listening.
Thanks, David. Great video. I particularly love the I to iv change. Very melancholic.
i love ur videos!
i couldn't get enough of your music mode videos because they just sound so cool! thanks for releasing incredibly useful and entertaining information for free!
As a guitarist, I've learned so much musical theory from you. I thank you immensely!
Excellent video David. Thank you for such a clear explanation with common examples
Really looking forward to more of this series!
Thank you so much for this incredibly clear explanation and the great examples!
Great video! As a rhythm guitarist, I'm always on the lookout for some cool chord progressions to play along with to a song or even mess around and make my own chord progressions. I'll definitely use some of these ideas the next time I play! Cheers.
I have been following David for a while and David keeps outdoing himself. I follow many youtubers that do similar things but David makes it very accessible and bitesize. I always learn something very clearly out of his every video.
I’ve played music for 30 years and your videos are the absolute best explanations I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing
thank you David, really well explained
Love it David. Keep it up. I've made a point of watching your videos at the piano to follow along and pause to riff a bit. Thanks!
Amazing video... this was exactly what I've been looking for. Thank you so much!
Love this serie. Keep your great work
Thank you so much for the inspiration, I have learned so much from your videos. I've enjoyed all of them ,the production and your talent for teaching are brilliant.
seeing this video at 12:15 AM legit gave me many ideas. Excited to work with these.
I've always "heard" it while playing, but good to see where it derives from. Thank you for this!
This is the best gift ever bc this is literally the thing I’m struggling the most with in music theory right now so this is AWESOME! Aaa perfect timing ❤️❤️❤️
This was really well done! Thank you!
This was very helpful! Thanks much 👍🏽
Always love these vids, so accessible and useful 😀
This is very informative and very helpful! Thank you for this!
this series really rocks! so helpful
excellent, thank you, David.
i finally understand what's with the roman numbers, god bless your soul man :")
Excellent video. Thanks for the obvious work and effort in creating/sharing this!🇨🇦
Always look forward to your videos!!
You told me in 15 mins what I was looking for since years ago
So clearly man, thank you
It helped a lot that you showed the chord progressions on the piano. I have learned a lot.
i never fail to learn something from your videos. Thank you!
These videos are so well made with the chord charts shown on screen. Thanks for the great videos!
Thank you!
Hear hear!!
Great lesson. Thanks!
The closing music you did over the Patrons was BEAUTIFUL
I love this type of videos! I always have trouble with this, super useful!
thank you david
What a pleasure ! Superb David.
Cheers!
this was so helpful! thanks so much!
Super useful, thank you!
Just a few extra examples I’d like to add-
I - IV a good example is The Second Line by Stop, Inc (most New Orleans street jazz will work, but a lot of them are I7 - IV7
I - vi Scar Tissue, although there is a brief V in between them
I - bVII Sweet Child o Mine, which has the same chord progression as Hey Jude
i needed this video for understanding the music
Thank you so much for this.
David, my friend, Ray posted this in our Guitar forum. Not only he, but myself and many other of our members really liked your presentation. Thank you.
Thank you! I’m glad you like it 😀 Which Ray are you referring to? Thanks!
Thank you for doing this video.
Perfect , clever . Thanks
I’ve been playing piano for 10+ years and have never understood the basis of the roman numerals. Never knew how they were derived. It is so simple. Thank you
Your videos are amazing. Thank you :)
Thanks for your work !
Wow, thanks, that was an eye opener
I must admit I'd never had thought a I > v progression would sound as sweet as that! Colour me surprised
I love that move! It's very mixolydian! You'll hear it in 'Clocks' by Coldplay
@@DavidBennettPiano Having been playing guitar for over 30 years, delving into music theory since 2018 has opened my eyes to how clever Coldplay and The Beatles were in their compositions.
Been watching your videos a lot lately. I have always loved playing keyboard for fun in my spare time, but i dont read music or understand music theory. I love how you make all these videos very informative and understandable with examples etc. So great work Keep it up and i definitely am subscribing. Cheers
Really great for ear training. Keep up the good work. Much appreciated.
Cheers!
Thanks David. I'm a novice, just dabbling, but your clear explanations really help me grasp the underlying structure of music I love
I love your content. But I was watching it with my guitar in my lap. Every time you'd start with the first two chords, I couldn't help but play the rest of the progression out. Remind me to watch this video again when I don't have an instrument in my hand. Lolol!
Thank you for what you do. Always a pleasure to watch your channel.
Thanks a ton! I finally think I have got a starting point to learn recognising progressions by ear
This is a really useful video, I often forget how each of these progressions sound!
This is a really helpful video. Thank you!
Excellent! 😀😀
This is the video I’ve been waiting for
So useful thanks again!
Great video. I'm trying to learn piano and your videos have made a lot of the music make sense.
Glad to hear it!
Also John Williams really love the II (major 2nd) chord in his music. Especially the I - II - IV - I progression just like the Beatles 😊
Your videos are pure gold man, keep it up!
Thank you! 😀😀😀
Fantastic, thank you
Thank you, very helpful to my AP Music Theory Class and their ear training.
You’re the best. This was sooooo helpful.
Thank you!
You are a great teacher.
Excellent. Nice graphic overlays too.
I love your videos man! You’re re a great teacher and explain music theory concepts very well. The Beatles seem to have an example for everything haha.
The *vi* is my favourite of the major scale. It creates such a melancholic and resolved feeling.
It sounds so resolved because it's basically the tonic chord of the relative minor key.
Great content, Please do more of this kind of videos
Very useful, thanks!
Hallelujah intro is another good example of I - vi back & forth, also Sitting on the dock of the bay works well with I-III just like Creep
This channel is such a gem
Great video. Thanks. I really enjoy your channel and really learn a lot. That said, I can’t believe you did a video on common chord progressions in popular music and didn’t mention I-IV-V. It’s the basis of a million blues tunes and almost as many rock and roll songs.
The bVII in F immediately reminded me of Rush's 'The Garden'. Great video.
Excellent video!
Great, bring more of this videos.
Will do! 😀
This is the most brilliant channel on You Tube! The entire world should be grooving to this knowledge instead of finding reasons to attack each other. Sorry if that was too heavy.
Wow this is so helpful! Thanks :)
Thanks. I find this type of video quite useful for song writing.
Relative pitch is a precious skill!!
I've been waiting for a video like this for like 10 years
This is so helpful!
I like the way you demonstrate the feel of different chord movements here. The one-by-one approach gives me a better grasp of how each movement of a chord is like a step to the next thing that happens in the song. Anyway, I'm understanding more of it as I go. Is this just me advancing as a student, or are your teaching skills getting really good too? Nice lesson, Sir!
Thank you so much it help me alot
