@@pnukkapnukka1840 I just made it up for the video!

Sure thing! Next up is E minor!

Hope it all goes well!

@@battlebard Yes, practice, practice and practice again for me. Thank you!

Great suggestion! I’ll try to work that in to future videos!

So glad you found it helpful! I’m currently working on the G major video, and I plan on putting out a video for all the major and minor keys, but I can definitely prioritize the A Minor key video to get that one out quickly!

​@battlebard that sounds great!

Glad it was helpful for you!

It’s a legendary riff

I think people just assume everyone knows so nobody really takes the time to explain it!

Thank you!

I try to pump out at least 3 shorts a week. There are some longer and more in-depth videos talking about music theory on my channel if you want to go more in depth on it!

The name minor seventh is just referring to the lowered 7th, not the quality of the triad. And you are correct that a major chord with a minor 7th is also called a dominant 7th, I just learned to identify them with different terminology. I was taught to name the quality of both the triad and the 7th, so the possibilities were Major/major 7, major/minor 7, minor/major 7, or minor/minor 7. I still have trouble saying dominant 7 to this day because the other terms were drilled into my head by my theory professor!

It’s definitely more commonly referred to as a Dominant seventh chord. My old music theory professor always made us use Major or minor for both the triad quality and the 7th quality, so that’s what’s drilled into my head now. We always had to use either Major Major 7, major minor seven, minor major 7, or minor minor 7 when identifying them. As we progressed we started calling the dominant 7s, but we were so drilled on the original terms that that’s what stuck!

That’s wild! That makes sense considering yall have more voicing options with the strings and frets, but I never thought about there being more than just 1st and second, and if there’s a 7th, third inversion

@@battlebard alot of us use the CAGED theory to learn positions on the guitar now. There are 5 forms on guitar "C, A, G, E, and D". I can play a G chord in the C form or A form. The guitar is like 6 pianos with different starting points. lol.

That’s wild! I learned some chords on the guitar and keep telling myself I’m gonna learn more, but then when I have time just keep going back to learn new music on the piano instead. That makes me really wanna get back into studying the guitar!

@@battlebard the initial learning curve is more difficult for guitar. But the truth is that you only have 5 basic scale and chord patterns to learn. Then you move those same patterns up the neck to change key. If you learn the basic 5 chords, those are actually the only shapes you use on guitar in variations. Unlike piano, in which every scale is different patterns. So it's much easier in reality. Just the fingering is more difficult physically.

That is super encouraging to know! I’ll have to bust out my old method books soon and pick it back up!

Like the song itself is strange, or just having background music in general? I’m still learning what kind of things in my videos work best for people, so your feedback is appreciated!

@@battlebard given that it’s a music theory video with audio, having background music at all, if it’s not cleanly edited out when you play the audio examples. It just feels a little overwhelming

Like, immediately when you play that chord, all I can hear is the dissonance against the background music. Maybe would be fine if you picked something in the same tonality, but it just clashes super hard as is

Thank you for the feedback! I’ll work on the music edits a bit more!

They are the same pitch and the same key on a piano, but the difference is the context for the note. The key signature typically determines whether you’re going to use sharps or flats. A key signature with lots of sharps will likely refer to that pitch as A-sharp, and a key signature that uses flats would likely refer to that pitch as B-Flat. There’s also the old rule of thumb if you don’t have a key signature that if the notes are traveling in an upward direction, like G A-sharp B, you’d use the sharp to raise the note with the rising music. But if the notes are going in a downward motion, like C B-flat G, we’d use the flat on the B to lower the pitch. It’s all very much related to the context for which accidental is used, if that makes sense!

@@battlebard so in the movie The Goonies when the girl said she didn't know if the note was a a sharp or a b-flat and then Mikey said if you hit the wrong note we'll all be flat and then she played it correctly and then they got through there was no danger at all because both notes are played exactly the same?

Haha pretty much ya, the note was the same either way. The writers just really wanted to have that joke in the movie!

I like showing people little tricks like this to build of confidence! Nothing can replace practice, but you're more likely to practice when you can play something that sounds good :)

Didn’t even notice that. I clearly hadn’t had my coffee yet!

Glad you like them! The best time to start learning is always now!

@@battlebard thank you! Keep up the good work!

Thank you for the feedback, I’ll use lighter colors from now on!

Yes! The Star Wars and Indiana Jones used repeated triplets to give it a specific feel of heroism. He uses them a lot in his pieces!

Close, various iterations of the hyrule castle theme use this, particularily in games where hyrule castle is under ganon's influence.

@@Pyros-shade ah, that part of life is a blur honestly. thanks for giving a specific answer though. It was really digging at me

The chord progressions are fairly similar for sure!

Happy to hear that! I’ll definitely be coming out with more!

The song is titled Libestraum No. 3, written by Franz Liszt

@@battlebard thank you so much!

Sure thing!

Metal music works wonders for easing negative emotions!

@@Glucenaphene Good ear! This sequence of chords is actually called the Andalusian Cadence, which is the cadence that repeats over and over in Hit The Road Jack!

@@Randomstuffcore Great suggestion! The Pentatonic Scale is like a cheat code for music!

Glad you liked it!
