In case you're working on another "songs based on classical music," I think Kevin Kiner's track "Omega's Theme" from The Bad Batch partially uses THAXTED (i.e. the theme from Holst's "Jupiter").
Spledidly comprehensive. David, I love how You started w/the "A" note. Question: Why wasn't the "C Major" scale labeled "A"? Not to rewrite the Bard's literature, or change any established works. It just seems that the beginning should have been "A" (at least "A minor" has the same notes as "C Major").
This is a very good beginner's guide. I've found that many music theory teachers (for beginners) simply skip basic definitions, expecting a level of prior knowledge that isn't always obvious for the student. Despite, a basic foundation can even help students with prior knowledge to better grasp the more advanced teachings as well
I would love if you could do a series of these to cover more ground. I’ve only had casual exposure to music theory and hearing the foundations laid out so clearly and concisely was very nice.
This was put in a way that was very clear and easy to understand! It actually made me realize a couple of things that I'd always read about but never understood or put together!
Well, I’ve been teaching myself piano for nearly a year now, and I can honestly say this is the singular most helpful music theory video I have EVER seen!
English is even not my native language, but this video helped me more than 8 years of (basic) musical theory in primary and middle school in my native language.
Without a doubt the best music tutorial on the internet. I have been looking for something like this for 5 years. There are so many out there but they all conflict and do not tell you what is important. I cannot believe it is only 382 comments. It should be 382 thousand!!.
In high school I was in Choir. Our voices easily sharpens and flattens. However trying to learn piano without music theory has made my journey a complicated one. I thought I knew how to read music; now I feel musically illiterate. Your videos have opened a new world to me. Thank You. ( I'm 54 years old touching a piano for the 1st time.)
As still a (very) beginner, this has put stuff I kinda already knew or was aware of, in a new light, way easier to process and apply on a daily basis. Thank you!
What a perfect teacher you are ! Feeding all that is necessary for a complete beginner, Specific and to the point. No unnecessary boasting ! Really commendable ..All the best to you. May God Almighty bless you abundantly.
Thanks for the bit at the end on notation, it brought back what I learned 60 years ago in middle school band. I will save this video and refer to it often until I have committed it to memory.
This is great! My younger sister got a keyboard for Christmas, and her music lessons only start tomorrow, so I was playing (or rather, playing with) her keyboard since she got it, and I really needed something like this, even if I already knew (or rather, thought I knew well enough) all music theory concepts that were presented. The sponsor is also very convenient. Thank you so much!
Oh my. MANY years ago as a small child I took piano lessons. I vaguely remembered most of it. However, I was just getting into the theory when I stopped. This tied it all together (the tones and semitones) and helped me make sense of it all. Thank you so much. And, thank you for all your other videos. I'm not a professional or even amature, but the technical aspect that you bring for me, an engineer, is very interesting.
I studied music all my life, I thought this would bring me nothing, but you never know when you’re gonna learn something new, even the way you put together all this information is amazing.
I ended up already knowing everything covered in this video but it was a good reminder of something things I tend to forget about and over-complicate, such as the way scales and keys are constructed. Once I learned the circle of fifths, I've mostly used that and/or memorisation, but had forgotten that you can just use TTSTTTS etc
Could you do a video about more advanced topics? At least in the States, many people were in the school band or orchestra, so they know a lot of this stuff. But what should we learn next, after the basics?
I literally just decided to start learning music theory a few days ago (in my 60s) and have watched several videos so far. You did a great job and explaining the true basics in an easy-to-understand way. Kudos to you! I want to know how in the Hell people even came up with all this stuff (major, minor, chords, perfect fifth, scales, etc.). I equate it to the people who "developed" calculus and other types of mathematics. I don't understand how someone can come up with a concept this complex.
I suspect this is more a post-mortem link that the actual reason why the G clef looks the way it is. For a number of reasons. 1- I suspect that the G clef was invented in a time and place where the notes were not called by letters but by names, so this would be a Sol clef, and 2- the other clefs don't resemble their letters at all (take for example the F clef or the F clef).
@@adb012 It's a G, not an S. An S would flow in the opposite way. And the bass clef is a stylized F, the dots surrounding the F line of that staff making up the branches of the F. Google the history of the bass and treble clefs, and you'll see in the images that this is true. Even if you assume it to be the Sol-Fa scale (again, the G is not an S-the integration symbol in calculus shows a more correct stylized S, symbolizing "Sum"), F is Fa-denoted by the same letter.
@@hektor6766 ... I didn't say, and I don't think, that it's an S. I just said I don't think it's a G. I can be wrong on that of course. But not on something I didn't say.
This was excellent. I've never formally taken music lessons, and nibbled about theory at the sides. This made everything make sense. I will use this as a go-to reference. So well done. Thank-you.
I use an absolute numbering system of my own invention instead of the classical relative numbering system. The 12 notes are numbered 1 to 12. In the key of C the c note is 1, c# is 2, d is 3, d# is 4 . . . b is 12. You call the C major chord as the first, the third and the fifth. For me it's 1, 5 & 8. The C major pentatonic is 1, 3, 5, 8 & 10. This is a far simplier system that makes intervals apparent as well as the topology of scales. eg comparing the C dorian (1, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 11) to C major pentatonic (1, 3, 5, 8 & 10). This works for all keys. Music is about timing (space) and intervals (reach) and absolute numbering plainly shows the reach. Dorian has asymmetrical runs; 1, 3 & 4 and 3, 4 & 6 and 8, 10 & 11 and 10, 11 & 13 and symmetrical runs 4, 6 & 8 and 6, 8 & 10. My guess is the inventors of music theory were very smart people who didn't give a rat's arse if the lesser breeds could not follow their unnecessarily convoluted structure. .
An easier way to count intervals (in my opinion) is by looking at how many keys are in between the interval you want. A minor 3rd will always have 2 keys (including #/b notes) between the root and interval, and a major 3rd will have 3. I know it sounds like the same way of counting, but this way can count by looking instead of feeling, if you know what I mean. This can be applied to any interval. Basically just subtract 1 from how many semitones it is from the root
Hi David, I have learned so much from your videos! I'd love to see a video on the different types of outros in songs and generally how to nicely end a song, what different types there are etc.
Converted this to mp4 then looped the 7 seconds over and over. That ish go hard “cause it’s my turn , my turn, give me back my bread”. Pure motivation for the bounce back😂
This was unbelievably helpful! I have pretty much zero prior knowledge and experience, and I really want to learn music theory so that maybe I can learn how to play instruments more effectively! Great job! Your teaching style would make all this stuff I'm facing so much more fluid to learn!
I've watched all David's videos for years, so I thought that I have to watch this also, although being so basic I won't learn anything new. Well, wrong. The very last thing with accidentals lasting the whole bar was new to me. So the full series is still perfect, I've learnt something from every single video.
Omg thank you!!! U actually explaine what some of the symbols in sightreading mean. I had a hard time understanding why the notes started getting chained together..
if i only see this when im still a beginner. This will save me a whole lot of time learning from scratch. Especially on the semitone combining into chord one.
I grew up playing trumpet . . . now I realize that only piano, guitar, and harp can play chords. Now I'm learning guitar (wish it was piano) and learning music for the first time. No one does that voodoo that you do so well !
Holy shit why is this so easy to understand all of a sudden? Your teaching style is amazing. Idk if it's the graphics on screen or the way you explain it or what it is but I've been trying to figure out the most basic concepts in music theory for months on end at this point and nothing has helped me understand it as much as this video. THANK YOU 🙏
Informative video! I’ve been playing for 2 years and I still learn something new from you. Thanks to all I’ve learned, I’m now brave enough and performing for others (free of course😂). Thanks for helping me achieve my dream. Namaste from Miami.
Didn’t know that all major chords were made of the same intervals. This’ll be so useful for trying to figure out chords, instead of using an app with all the chords. Been binging your content and it’s really been great for learning
I studied piano at school for ~3 years but the teacher never taught me most of music theory, not even the basics except for reading, so now that im picking back up the hobby, watching this video made a lot of stuff make sense Thanks very much
Thank you SO much for this David. I've been sniffing at music theory for a while, but many other sources spend an ungodly amount of time on each little subject, and I end up not getting the bigger picture. This style of condensed crash course is really helpful to get the big picture crystal clear. I won't remember how many semitones are in each interval, but now I know I can just look it up.
My grandfather was a gifted musician, but he was very picky about what popular music he liked. He didn't care for a lot of rock music, but one song he did like was "The Boxer" by Simon and Garfunkel. Would you please recreate that one sometime (if possible with TH-cam's copyright laws)? I love your Beatles recreations, keep up the great work!
I knew almost none of that. I've been a music lover and casual guitar player for 20 years, but I'd never had one minute of theory or lessons. So this was wildly helpful!
May I suggest a crash theory course include pop songs ("super pop", timeless), and omit "crazy piano" nomenclature. Stick with roots, fifths, and thirds. Inspire with ease. This way don't work. It make people run away.
This is amazing content. I’ve always been intimidated by music theory and avoided it completely. Obviously that has severely limited my ability to understand and play music. So thank you for opening this door for me. Your videos are awesome.
Why is this not the very first video any child ever learning western music is ever shown. SO MANY YEARS of confusion and rote memorization could've been saved if this video had just been provided right at the beginning!
I really like this video. I went through your ArtMaster theory course, and these two presentations really complement each other. One thing I noted, though, was that the process of using triads to build chords which you presented here was easier for me to understand and learn. In your ArtMaster class, you talked about what the difference was, note by note, between major, minor, diminished, and augmented chords, but you didn't show the triad building blocks that you do here. Same for the 7th chords. Thanks for all the work you do to make music understandable. I look forward for each new discussion/class/explanation you make.
coherent, comprehensive, & concise. The best intro to music theory video on TH-cam. Dethroning Andrew Huang who also has an amazing tutorial on the subject.

I'm a visual learner so seeing these graphics made it INSTANTLY make sense to me and I can't wait to apply this next time I'm trying to figure out a song on guitar, piano, etc. Thanks for the great explanation!
What a brilliant video. Anyone wanting to learn music theory should watch this before even picking up an instrument, exercise book or sheet music of any kind. Bravo!
yooo I'm a year 13 doing a-level music but my attendance is really bad because of being a young carer and to make matters worse I'm a drummer so I didn't go into the course with a lot of this knowledge like lots of my classmates did so this video is such a life-saver for me tysm
Thank you so much!! I have been on a break from teaching music for almost 4 years. I’m just getting back into it now, and felt anxious about being rusty. This video was the perfect primer for me to review everything and remember how I used to explain them to students. Also picked up a couple nuances so thank you so much!!!
Dude you are such a genius and I so totally get it its incredible difficult to get down to the ignorants.. yet LOST everybody at second 4! Gotta go down some more .. loose the hz and the accent.. and explain the charts.. LOVE YOU❤❤ P. Silke
Great video! I play a really basic guitar and now I'm starting with piano/keyboard. All my life I saw guitar tabs with Cmaj and had no clue what it meant. That alone made the video for me. Thanks!

Do I know this already? Yes. Am I still going to watch the whole thing? Also yes.
Same
Same, but I’m just hoping to still learn something haha
Facts
I know it, but now I know it more
Ditto

I'd love that as well!
i would love it too!!!
They always leave out the main bulk of other music theory, like all the other notations and what they mean
This was put in a way that was very clear and easy to understand! It actually made me realize a couple of things that I'd always read about but never understood or put together!
I'm a beginner piano player and your explaination of major and minor chords, combined with the visuals is the best I've seen.
Thank you

57 years on this planet, and you have unlocked the rudiments of music for me finally in half an hour. God bless you, sir. I am weeping with joy.

I thought I knew how to read music; now I feel musically illiterate. Your videos have opened a new world to me. Thank You. ( I'm 54 years old touching a piano for the 1st time.)
This is like the spark notes of your whole channel. You explain everything perfectly, there will be many more musicians because of you.

A very neat summation of a lot of fundamental theory! A great presentation, too - your slides and animations are so clear!
I studied music all my life, I thought this would bring me nothing, but you never know when you’re gonna learn something new, even the way you put together all this information is amazing.
The best explanation of the minor and pentatonic scales I've seen. Thank You!
Hi David thank you so much for your content it's so interesting and your presentation makes it even better!

First time I learned so much in less than 30 mins…thanks 😊
Awesome lesson!! Brings a lot of coherence to the tiny pieces of scattered theory I had! Thanks a lot!
30mins of my life very well spent. Easy to understand theory, finally 🙌 🙏
I never knew the treble clef symbol was a stylised "G". That's what I love about David's vids...I always learn something new.

Wow dude you have a gift for teaching. I’ve always had trouble with music theory but it clicked after watching you explain it. Thank you 🙏
This video one of the most helping and understandable one for me. Thanks :D
Great!
Wow David das war so viel gute Information in so kurzer Zeit.🙏🎶

This is brilliant! You are such a fantastic teacher. You made all of this so easy to understand. Thank You!!
Didn’t have a better video on scales and theory,thank you for helping!
Thanks for this young man. This was very well explained.
i hate how it starts from C
Jfc. This has made things so much easier not only to grasp but to explain. Thank you so much for this.
if i only see this when im still a beginner. This will save me a whole lot of time learning from scratch. Especially on the semitone combining into chord one.
Please more of this. Nice and slow and simple. Great job
Omg thank you!!!! Questions I've had for years have finally been answered in an easy to understand way.
I grew up playing trumpet . . . now I realize that only piano, guitar, and harp can play chords. Now I'm learning guitar (wish it was piano) and learning music for the first time.
No one does that voodoo that you do so well !

wow thank you! The simplest that i’ve ever watched
Nicely presented and explained.
Excellent introduction to basic theory. I especially like you approach to chord structure in term of intervals of semi-tones.
Informative video! I’ve been playing for 2 years and I still learn something new from you. Thanks to all I’ve learned, I’m now brave enough and performing for others (free of course😂). Thanks for helping me achieve my dream. Namaste from Miami.
Didn’t know that all major chords were made of the same intervals. This’ll be so useful for trying to figure out chords, instead of using an app with all the chords. Been binging your content and it’s really been great for learning
I studied piano at school for ~3 years but the teacher never taught me most of music theory, not even the basics except for reading, so now that im picking back up the hobby, watching this video made a lot of stuff make sense
Thanks very much
Thank you SO much for this David. I've been sniffing at music theory for a while, but many other sources spend an ungodly amount of time on each little subject, and I end up not getting the bigger picture. This style of condensed crash course is really helpful to get the big picture crystal clear. I won't remember how many semitones are in each interval, but now I know I can just look it up.
I swear, this is months if music class in 30 minutes and i retain the information so much easier. Thank you very much, Mr. Bennett.
My grandfather was a gifted musician, but he was very picky about what popular music he liked. He didn't care for a lot of rock music, but one song he did like was "The Boxer" by Simon and Garfunkel. Would you please recreate that one sometime (if possible with TH-cam's copyright laws)? I love your Beatles recreations, keep up the great work!
I knew almost none of that. I've been a music lover and casual guitar player for 20 years, but I'd never had one minute of theory or lessons. So this was wildly helpful!
Thank you
Thanks 😊
May I suggest a crash theory course include pop songs ("super pop", timeless), and omit "crazy piano" nomenclature. Stick with roots, fifths, and thirds. Inspire with ease. This way don't work. It make people run away.
This is amazing content. I’ve always been intimidated by music theory and avoided it completely. Obviously that has severely limited my ability to understand and play music. So thank you for opening this door for me. Your videos are awesome.

Thank you!
😊😊😊😊
Oh and thank you for introducing me to Waltz #2 (XO) by Elliot Smith!!!!!
This must be the easiest to understand video on the subject on the entire platform. Everything just makes sense. Thank you!
Why is this not the very first video any child ever learning western music is ever shown. SO MANY YEARS of confusion and rote memorization could've been saved if this video had just been provided right at the beginning!
This is so good man. You're actually making real life teachers quite obsolete this way. But to my great advantage you are, so thank you!
You are such a fantastic teacher.
Huge thanks for explaining triads and notation.
I really like this video. I went through your ArtMaster theory course, and these two presentations really complement each other. One thing I noted, though, was that the process of using triads to build chords which you presented here was easier for me to understand and learn. In your ArtMaster class, you talked about what the difference was, note by note, between major, minor, diminished, and augmented chords, but you didn't show the triad building blocks that you do here. Same for the 7th chords.
Thanks for all the work you do to make music understandable. I look forward for each new discussion/class/explanation you make.
I’d enjoy these sort of videos more often thank you
coherent, comprehensive, & concise.
The best intro to music theory video on TH-cam. Dethroning Andrew Huang who also has an amazing tutorial on the subject.
Thanks 😊
I learned most of this back in middle school, but it bored me to years because it was explained, but not visualized. I'm a visual learner so seeing these graphics made it INSTANTLY make sense to me and I can't wait to apply this next time I'm trying to figure out a song on guitar, piano, etc. Thanks for the great explanation!
Took me two years of choir to learn this- and it was nicely and concisely laid out in front of me in 30 minutes.
This is an excellent video. I think it’s perfect. It’s the best explanation of music theory I’ve ever heard! Very nice job!!
Thank you 😊
So much juicy information. I need to take a break...
Good stuff, good stuff.
What a brilliant video. Anyone wanting to learn music theory should watch this before even picking up an instrument, exercise book or sheet music of any kind. Bravo!
Great video. I have a lot to try and remember and put into practice whenever I can finally get an instrument to do so on.
Best video for music theory in 30 minutes, impressive
Thank you for this! I’m one of your subscribers who is not a musician but is fascinated by music theory.
Fantastic video! You make everything so easy!
This was wonderful! You just picked up a new Patreon.
This is probably the easiest and most straightforward explanation of music theory I’ve seen so far
FACE was really one of the most useful things i've learnt in a long time about music. Amazing content!
yooo I'm a year 13 doing a-level music but my attendance is really bad because of being a young carer and to make matters worse I'm a drummer so I didn't go into the course with a lot of this knowledge like lots of my classmates did so this video is such a life-saver for me tysm

Thank you very much.....Indeed I need this understanding.....

Very well done, nicely presented.
Thanks 😊
The major/minor and semitone explanation blew my mind as someone just learning theory
The best music theory video ever. Period.
Great video! I play a really basic guitar and now I'm starting with piano/keyboard. All my life I saw guitar tabs with Cmaj and had no clue what it meant. That alone made the video for me. Thanks!
