This method only works for root positions of a chord, the moment you move into chord inversions this whole thing breaks apart. In your system C Major is 0-4-7, however what if you play C and E over G? That is still a C Major chord, it has the qualities of a C Major chord, yet it would not work with your numeric system for a Major chord. However in regular music theory both would be named as C Major, the inversion would just be named as C/G (C Major over G). What would you name that? 0-5-9? 7-0-4? Finally, you are even showing how convoluted your method is, because when you get into making the chord progression, you suddenly switch to working with regular scale degrees instead, making this even more confusing to a new producer if you ask me. It ain't that hard to learn the intervals of a Major and a minor scale, and when you know one, you can figure it out for any key with little to no effort. Your system is a lot less logical and useful than you think it is, it has more shortcomings than the already widely accepted theory we have.
Finally someone who can teach and explain how to make music by the numbers!!. Thank you Sooo much for this tutorial Mr. Game!!. Now gimme a minute to get my note pad to jot this great info down my friend.!!
I believe in you Game. Thank you for coming direct and clear with the build of chords by numbers brother! The rest is as you mentioned… MYNOOSHA!. I don’t have 10 yrs to do it the old fashioned way! Let’s jump right in and work!!!
Your way is great as long as you start from the root position. But when you deal with inversions the numbers change. For example, your maj triad goes from 0-4-7 to 4-7-0!? Your system is based on the root position, the bottom note, so 4-7-0 could become 0-3-8 when the 3rd becomes the root of the inversion. Your wsy probably makes more sense to the piano roll pattern picker who doesn't mind remaining a noble savsge. All this stuff breaks down into pattern recognition (that's how I learned major scales as a kid fairly quickly and easily - the ear reads some things better than the eye). I'm finished old man ramblin.'
@busyworksbeats as you said, a scale can be arbitrary - isn't that why a distinctiion us made between keys and scales? I agree that classical music training does a diservice to kids because they're not shown how to make melodies and songs right away, at least on the piano. So I think it's nice that you've tried to simplify it. Yet I've watched enough of your videis to see you revert to the traditional terms rather quickly. I know you know music, that's why I keep coming back. It certainly wasn't those 1st few beats I saw you cook. But I'm glad to see you making beats with renewed interest. One of my favorites was when you made a beat out of your beat box and taught how to correct the tuning on the sample, something easy to overlook or not understand.
He taught me this in 2014 fasho. And I have made some monster beats I learned music theory from him he is the truth fasho
Same as I, I been learning from him since 2018, now I can make beat, without stress.
Wow it finally clicked for me, chords are actually so easy now. Thank you very much for that one.

At 4:26 minutes you sounded almost playing Anita Baker...😂
Cool!
BTW. The perfect 5ths use to sound like medieval chords..
13:26 this helps a lot
9:47 crazy tip!
i still have my chord chord series LOL stashed in my plex you should too! LOL shout outs game
Make guitar chords video
5:47 😂😂

@Veridi we need to figure out how to make Braille beats
That same logic can be applied to scale degrees.

Hey WeaverBeats? I know you're hate watching 😂
No, thats us.

Dam I actually learned something today can’t wait to get home and try it out
