My college music theory prof said the best thing you can do is feel the theory in your fingers. I think this vid is in-line with that. I hear Brad, I see the keys move, it sounds good, I go to my keyboard and try to let my fingers feel what he is doing. Good stuff, thank you.
I thought this guy was going to be full of shit when i saw the beginning of the video, then i kept watching and learned more about synthwave in 25 minutes than i did watching 25 other videos on TH-cam, quality 👍
I almost fell out of my chair at the 9:25 part where he chord relationships "Some combinations of notes hate each other all the combinations of notes love each other and then there’s some gray areas in between where, you know, they a bit hate each each other which is where I think is more like the suspense kinda things...." Too funny but it makes sense...
I came to this video so pissed off, just watched other videos that were supposed to be talking about synthwave and it was 40 minutes of some jackass going through basic theory and 4 minutes of him actually relating it to synthwave. Your video calmed me down and gave me what I was looking for! THANK YOU! 👍
You nailed it. The way they taught us music in school made me want nothing to do with it. Learning about it all this time later, I find it’s very interesting and captivating. Too bad provided educations are designed to barely teach kids anything useful.
Thanks for being a good Aussie and sharing your genius. I love your alternative layout for your own keyboard design. Awesome! I’m 51 years old - is that maybe all I need in addition to Komplete Kontrol, Pro X and an old Juno 106? I mean seriously Bruce I was actually there. Don’t forget your octave basses - that’s the key to the 80,s... good on ya mate!
I used to have a friend in college who thought just like you that the keyboard would be better with black keys everywhere on the upper line. He called the necessary two new black keys "ran" and "zan" (I'm french, so here in france, notes have weird names such as do ré mi and so on)
ThePatchbay You’re a loser. A complete sad little man. That hair is awful and you are an idiot. I subbed haha. Brilliant video and you nailed it 10000%. I’ll be watching your other stuff now. Thanks for the uploads man xxx
Make Synthwave-lofi beats because i was searching Synthwave-lofi beats and there's none the only i found so far was this beat that I'm making a song out of it here's the link th-cam.com/video/h0n5bUAT6Mo/w-d-xo.html
So listen mate. The slow person that I am, I only recently figured out how to properly integrate plug-ins within my DAW and create some proper sounding shit right? So i got the TAL-UNO and its saving me life rn, but what I wanna know now is what drum VST/Plug-in could use in combination with that, to kick things up a notch alongside the TAL-UNO uno wot i mean. I can't deal with my SR-18 drum machine anymore.. it sounds like shite if I'm honest with myself. Cheers m8. Btw.. I'm talking specifically for drums sounds here, or does your bundle cover that too? chairz .
I was hoping more for a video about good progressions (in numbers) and choice of key as well as some ways synthwave producers add tension. It makes me cringe to see people saying they only use black keys now, AKA pentatonic scales; sure they will always sound consonant but it is incredibly hard to achieve tension and release, your chord progressions will be completely stagnant.
@@filmingnightproductions9457 No tf it dosen't. Maybe for some, not for all. It's just a handicap, literally using only the white notes makes it much more open
The chords he is using here are mostly major add6, major add9, major add11, sus2 and sus4 for anyone who wants to look into the theory.
appreciated
What are you fucking Mozart?
Its fucking Mozart.
@@aabapowerful8681 lol
Thank god. I’m sick of hearing this boob beat around the bush.
This guy is a freaking riot.

This is probably a 5 minute video in almost half an hour... Its great

I have never laughed so much and so consistently at a tutorial video before, LOVE IT!
This made my morning dump way more enjoyable. Thank you man!
this video was of much higher quality than expected

This is the most synthwave intro on earth wdym???
@@NullFX Errrr it isn’t really is it......

SPOT ON. Just seeing the shapes helps. Sometimes all the jargon gets in the way
Mullet dude munching on a lemon behind the table sitting on top of the truck while talking about chords. Just what i was looking for.
Ok, this video was funny as hell dude. Thanks. This was exactly the type of no BS intro I was looking for.😂
That is a real test for our patience to keep up with the long intro
Brad is the Synthwave Jesus!
I can also confirm this lol
Sub Morphine also rocks, Ascension is a JAM!
More like antichrist...
Amen my son!
Jesus is the synthwave Brad!
Sum Tiger King energy in that intro
🤩 Brad Ritz got me all starstruck
Have been searching for ages for just a video like this, bless you mate
This is brilliant. I'm mad at myself not knowing this sooner! Thanks!
thank god my browser has "retell the video" function, that was terrible experience. Wish you best!

Right at 0:40 seconds, I get that nostalgic feeling xD

What the heck is Eddie doing to Alf? That’s not synthwavy. I love this video.
When Eddie Murphy popped out I lost it
Brad🥰🥰🥰
You grating that lemon without looking is giving me anxiety

It works for people who create music of this genre 🤷♂️

:-D Excellent
Well, there are easier ways to explain music theory and make it more affordable. Anyways, good video :)
decancerization operation
nice
Just use the black keys. There. Saved you having to watch the vid.
I always thought it was just Cm
high school shit
Next time eat picked ghurkins
I hate people that reply to their own comments.
