I've never commented but I have binged many of your videos, genuinely thanks :) (p.s. I'm stuck playing the Andalusian cadence because of yours videos..)

    That was so eye opening! A lot of things finally clicked. Parallel and relative modes really cleared understanding of modes.
    Playing around a lot lately with getting out of the diatonic "cage" and this lesson helps a lot in clarifying how to use modes for that.
    Still not fully understand how one determine a song key if there is a lot of modes used and you don't start on the tonic?
    Spending a lot of hours on your teachings and practicing them.
    A gold mine of knowledge no less. Incredible contribution to online aspiring pianist and musicians

    A future lesson could be about:
    When is it better to attach chords to the bassline or rather to the upper voice? For example to harmonize a melody, inventing a unique, homophonic chord progression, learning the diatonic inversions over scale tones, for ear training (figuring out harmony) or singing exercises... Greetings

    Here I need a help soo recently have purchased a keyboard, wanting to learn music

  • @ivanquish3372
    @ivanquish3372 ปีที่แล้ว

    If I understand the concept of Ragas right, then there is a very famous example in Western Music. And that is the second tetrachord of the minor scale. Downwards minor and upwards melodic minor to avoid the "1 1/2 tone step" of harmonic minor. Dorian is in between. String instruments can even produce 1/4 and 1/8 tone steps in such melodies. There might be examples in Jazz/Blues/Rock.

    • @seannel7464
      @seannel7464 ปีที่แล้ว

      This scale intrigues me because it is so exotic and gives me a glimpse into the sounds of millennia past. I could play it for hours on end. It's not a scale that is well suited to harmony though...

      All of the notes he was playing we're white, because he was starting in the key of C and moving around. If he had wanted to use different notes starting on a different key, he would have had to use sharps or flats to get the same sounds.

  • @adasastro
    @adasastro ปีที่แล้ว

    When we play C major scale, the key is C. The thing to say is 'the key of C major'. But if we play B locrian, or A harmonic minor scale, how to state the key? Are these correct: 'the key of B locrian', 'the key of A harmonic minor'?

    Hi Jason, I'd like to ask you about a certain piano lesson. I know you are probably busy, I really don't want to bother you, this is just idea, so maybe you could consider it.
    I really cannot find any lesson on the internet about writing my own arrangement of a song. I know you have made some similar lessons, that might contain parts of it, like left hand laws, building a melody and embellishing it, but making own cover of a given melody is topic stunningly not talkt about enough and I think it's one of the most desired abilities nowadays.
    I really do believe, you can teach us a lot about that.
