    • @HackMusicTheory
      @HackMusicTheory  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hi Jojimer, thanks so much for watching and connecting!
      If you haven't already, may I suggest that you check out our free music theory book, '12 Music Theory Hacks to Learn Scales and Chords'? It's a refresher of the basics and it's a super fast and fun read.
      Next, I think you will find our "Hack Music Theory for Songwriting and Producing" PDF very helpful. It clearly explains the modes and how to use them to write songs with different 'vibes'. It also has a wealth of other hacks which include how to write chord progressions, bass lines, synth riffs, etc. You can download it from our website here: revolutionharmony.com/books.
      As for our DAW, we use Reaper and are big fans of the software and the company for so many reasons! They give you a free 60-day trial of the full program and it's relatively inexpensive to buy at US$60. You can check it out here: www.reaper.fm. Take care and we hope to hear from you again. Happy Songwriting! Kate :)

    hmmm, never though about it...you're right, every mode has 3 major chords and 3 minor chords, and so as not upset the perfect balance the remaining chord is neither, it's diminished

    Can I just say, great video and tips :D I absolutely love the Dorian scale, and have only recently found out how many songs i thought was in minor actually is in dorian. Great trick about erasing all notes that made the song into the "minor feeling", to lighten it up and get that dreamy feel as you mentioned. Thx for the hacks, and have fun writing more songs :)

I was also going to respond to your comment from a couple weeks ago about the TH-cam Q&A. We will be postponing the TH-cam Q&A for some time, so we can focus on the online apprenticeship program on Patreon. Until then we will be hosting live Q&As for the apprentices once a month. Also, we've added weekly studio vlogs to our Patreon offering, and we'll be posting the first one today! Yay! We'll be drinking tea and talking about what's going on behind the scenes and what's coming up on TH-cam and in our music. Phew ok, enough about us! Je suis très heureux que tu appréciais Dorian! You really get to make music that sounds unique and interesting. Happy songwriting and je te souhaite un bon week-end Aurelio! Kate :)

      @@HackMusicTheory Thanks bro; I do mostly electronic music, but also did some symphonic music reading a couple of books you surely know, which is one of harmony by Schoenberg and one for orchestration, by Walter Piston (long time ago). I've been doing some experiments from what you explained, mostly looking for the hidden melody and the repetition that evolves into something new, as well, how at certain point, some cluster of notes can be shifted in tone to almost, any tone if one of the notes matches with the second melody, let say, and it sounds super good, like a fuge of Bach. It's incredible because, just adjusting some notes you end with a "piece" that can be used and reused and it's always new and exciting. It is so wide in possibilities that it also sounds like recorded from a MIDI keyboard in real time, you know, that feeling. It's incredible how much a melody can be subdivided and reorganized, creating patterns that sounds even like an Steve Vai solo, let say. I've subscribed to your channel. For sure!

    I've written lots of my own songs in the past & tried to incorporate different chord progressions - most times they did not work.
    This tutorial was AMAZING!! Thank you so much for sharing your secrets!! Now i can try some of these ideas. Tiger.

    You have great content! Is there a strategic reason why you chose sus2 chords instead of sus4? It's my understanding that sus4 chords are more commonly used.

  • @Funkrocker81
    @Funkrocker81 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey Ray, besides the fact, that my progression in might end up being boring, how would you approach when the first and the last chord are the same chord, but a different inversion? Same way as every time with any other chord? meaning bringing the notes in place before the progression loops or leave is as it is and take the start of the next loop as ´bringing the notes back in place‘?

    I have always been a person who liked symmetry or made use of symmetry more than others. When I was building a Clash of Clans base for example I would always find myself fixing asymmetries that others wouldn't even notice just to maintain a pattern. Now that I know that catchiness has a lot to do with symmetry too I feel kind of blessed to be someone who pays attention to it hahaha
