    There's something beautiful about converting major songs to minor, and vice versa. It changes the meaning into completely different things. Very underrated channel btw, your editing is pretty good.

    This is...the first time I’ve come across a video like this that actually makes sense to my brain. I never managed to get into music in early life (despite the desire being present) but I’m starting to get a little obsessed with theory, despite the fact that I often struggle to wrap my brain around it.
    You explained this in a way that I could absolutely wrap my brain around, so thank you. Subbed and saved the video 😊.

    Great job with the ending cover! And finally was able to figure out how to transpose minor keys from your video. Thanks!

    THIS IS BEFORE WATCHING THE VIDEO!!!
    (FOR SCALES)
    What I know, each major key has a minor key. When going into the respective minor key, you retain the same sharps or flats. In solfege (spelling), you start on Do. You go down to La. using C major as a base, because it has no flats or sharps, Do=C and La=A. So going to the minor key of the corresponding major, you go down 3 half steps (tested)
    Basically:
    Start with your key. Go to the base note. Go down 3 half steps. Keep the sharps or flats. Play scale. Boom. Minor key.
    Edited note: I like transposing with parallel minors.

    At first i'm like....this is a mistake, how did this video become #1 in my search results? It only has 219 subscribers for crying out loud. The #1 should have over a million subscribers right? Yet I continue to listen to this "Amatuer" video teacher lady and by the end of the video I totally understood and received everything I came here to learn and Im 100% satisfied and gave you a thumbs up. Now, how in the heck did that happen? :-) Thanks. Moral of the story kiddies,..... ALWAYS trust the search results.

    • @lukasregino6390
      @lukasregino6390 4 роки тому

      U cant convert a finished major sample into minor scale, because “transposing” means u gotta transpose all the keys in the chord/scale in one group, that means u cant only transpose the 3rd or 5th key of the chord/scale to make it minor or vice versa

    The chord part is most confusing. So you find the individual notes in the triads of your chords, and then if those chords contain 3rds or 6ths (of the major scale) you flatten those and leave the rest of the chord alone?

    Although, I didn't know whether to use natural or harmonic. Your answer: whichever sounds better; makes sense.

      For us, si is one of the chromatic solfeges (either the flat or sharp of so, I don't remember which). They probably changed it to avoid confusion

    • @Lampey22
      @Lampey22 3 роки тому +1

  • @ethantinsley8185
    @ethantinsley8185 2 роки тому

    Transposing the song from major to minor makes it sound sad and somewhat hopeless. It also makes the lyrical content feel insecure in it’s message where as parallel major is confident and exited. You should talk about modes and their effect on music. For example, transposing this to Dorian would give it a minor sound with some major flair.
