      D.

Anyway, practice is the most important part of learning

    A lot of people come here and demand "more content like this". What they don't realize is that this actually goes beyond education; this video is an artwork in and of itself. Myles' smooth voice, the well-toned drums, the tightly interlocked fills hitting just before the end of the speech, the examples of modal interchange themselves and that brilliant melody work together to put this video in the realm of spoken word music.

    It looks like it's been said a million times already but I'll say it again, that is one of the best modal and music theory explanations I've ever seen on UA-cam.

    You explained such a complex concept in not even a simple manner, just an easy to understand manner. I feel like I just learned a lot more than way more videos have taught me because of the way you present it! Also having a backing track playing the whole time that occasionally fills and goes into the musical examples you show really helped string it all together, this video is put together like a perfect song.

    I’m surprised I never saw this video, since it’s already been around for 6 years already, but, truth be told, you are spot on. Modal interchange, (and other techniques) has always been magical in my mind, as staying diatonic is limiting without a doubt.

      @deconstructyouridols 5 років тому

      Hey Myles, I loved this!!! So, Im pretty familiar with music theory, and this gave me an amazing way to look at things that I didn't really understand!!! One question though, and I'll try to be brief, because its actually pretty simple. So, Im a huge radiohead fan, and they obviously utilize this technique to perfection--but in the examples you use; and the examples i can create, use a lot of chord extensions which makes this process a lot smoother and easier, which is why i think Jazz can work so well (because it allows you to connect those modes). Do you have any comments on utlizing this type of techniques with more simple chords??? So for example, a i, III, VII, VI chord progression....if i swap out a iii for the III from the ionian...without adding extensions it can be super jarring....I guess i was wondering if you had any ideas about this??? Regardless, this is an amazing video, and I had never thought about this in such a simplistic (in a minimalist) way before. SOOO many kudos.

      He probably used multiple audio/music programs, one for the notation and one for the actual creation of the music and sounds heard in the video.
      Then there was a video editor/animation program where the majority of the time and work was spent (probably).

      If you already know music theory, learn about tonicization and modulation then learn about the modes, borrowed chords, and modal interchange. If you don't I suggest checking out musictheory.net first its free lessons and practice.

    • @skillracoonful
      @skillracoonful 5 років тому

      try using the big three I, IV, V, or i, iv, v if you're in minor, and then pick something else from the other scales. for example: C (I) Eb (bIII) F (IV) G (V) (Eb is from C minor)
      Another example in C minor: Fm (iv) C (I) Gm (v) Cm (i) (C is from C major)

  • @DrumsMasterX43

    Awesome video! I've always been curious on this subject, but one question. When you are picking a different mode (say C Ionian to C locrian) how do you determine what chords are maj/min in the Locrian mode? Do you just start from C and find your 3rd and 5th or 7th in that mode and that'll determine what it is? Thank you!

    Your graphic at 0:13 confused me since the ones shown as "D-7, E-7, A-7" are actually minor 7th chords. I have never seen the hyphen used to replace the "m" designation for minor. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems confusing to us newbies.
