look at this guy, humbling the education sytems across the world from his living room. no budget, no nothing. just a cool dude with a camera, huge knowledge and some creativity. thanks man, you are truly awesome
@@theRiver_joan jk not directed at u. It's like "this man is really gifted", dude literally dressed up, and told you about the major scale, wasn't too gifted. I give condolences to whatever Dalibor is going through though.
Your different characters have legit become a part of my music creation during studio time, because they make some dry learning materials addictively memorable. Cheers!~
I watched several videos on this topic, even Rick Beatos but...just wow, this is the first time i actually understood what modes are. Thank you for existing man. Keep going!
All you really need to know is you take the major scale and just change what note you start on. There's some chord theory that goes into it too if you wanna go to the next level, but modes like Phrygian tend to have a droned root while they just play around the already cool sounding scale.
I think the more difficult it is to reconcile the mode with traditional major/minor, the more songwriters will tend to drone and/or make the idea sound really modal. For example, it’s more likely that phrygian or locrian songs will use riffs that overtly and obviously center their tonic than say, Dorian or Mixolydian
This channel is great at explaining music theory. You've clearly studied it. Too many channels just "wing it." It's so obvious they've never studied it properly and think their ears and vague analogies will be enough. Name an interval by number or say "major third" and they'll be lost.
So glad we've got legends left like Prance Connors, After the passing of Barry Harris its important the youth still have access to such masters of harmony
😂how tf does he do it so well every time? I love the picture in the background of him hugging his angry and regretful wife💀, always playing such an unaware and unhygienic character that sounds like he’s being told what to say with a gun to his head lmao. Keep it up geeza
man wtf this "trick" about moving one semitone up and only use the "white" keys really is a major game changer in my understanding of this jesus christ! My man! Love your stuff
I love Prof. Underbelly. I keep watching his stuff and get too scared to submit my piece for roasting. But I keep watching. I also know that he actually has a virtuoso pianist up his sleeve. Please everybody support the Professor.
Man, you are super smart and super gifted! I watch your videos a couple of years now even if I am a professional composer and producer for TV and Documentaries. The simplicity of the way you tansmit the knowledge is by far the best I 've ever seen and your sense of humor betrays a super clairvoyant guy. Just wanted to say it. Greetings from Athens Greece
One thing I would love from the Ableton Piano Roll is the ability to modulate scales halfway through a clip. So it would be cool if I could set a breakpoint or automation point saying I want it to be Mixolydian after two bars, and then for the Clip Scale to automatic change what notes are highlighted depending on where I'm clicking in the timeline.
You can bodge this in by adding a separate MIDI track (not connected to an instrument) with all the notes of the scale all playing at once. Draw in all the scale changes, give it a distinctive color, and rename it to SCALEREF or something. Then whenever you want to edit something, use MIDI multi-edit to edit both the track you want to change and SCALEREF at the same time. Send SCALEREF to the background _et voila,_ dynamic scale highlighting in whatever color you chose for SCALEREF. It's not automated, but it's easy enough to fix the reference track if you make changes to the structure of the song. This is a trick I stole a long time ago from one of my buddies who uses FL.
C Major - Happy, cheesy D Dorian - Melancholy, Hans Zimmer E Phrygian - Evil, Swag F Lydian - Whimsical G Mixolydian - Romantic A Aeolian - Sad B Locrian - sinister
After a long time, I've been making an effort to at least know SOMETHING about music theory and scales. I had been wondering when I'd be able to actually understand what was going on with Key Modes. Then, this video comes along, and after a bit of exploring after watching, it's really helped me understand. Thanks!
As always great vid, However, it would be great if you could do a video showing these scales being applied in a chord progression and melody, as this is where many tutorials leave a lot of people confused.
@@yousuckatproducing And even further, how to determine how to change to a nearby scale in the progression and melody to change things up without sounding too far off.
@@yousuckatproducing I learned more in this vid than I have in many years of classical training and shitting around at home. Thank you, professor. Can't wait for learning about progressions too.
Such a weird guy…. 😂😂😂 These videos always keep me entertained. Can’t wait to see what other characters come out of that crazy brain of yours. Keep them coming!! 👍🏼
A common trick used by countless bands is to sing a tragedy over a major scale and happy lyrics over a minor scale. Music as well as any art is about contrast.
Much obliged, internet beat man. I have my Berklee audition coming up and I assume they’re gonna wanna know the mode of the song I make. Intriguing truly
![PHRYGIAN - Understanding and Using the Third Mode of Major [MODAL MUSIC THEORY]](/img/n.gif)
I love this professor. He might be on some lists but still love em.
The only list he's on is Franz Liszt
He gives love a good name

This man is super creative and gifted. It really makes my day better even if I am down. Thank you!
Same, it genuinely made my day better, and I’m learning music theory at the same time.
I can't tell which one of you two is more gifted

@@dawnrock2391 Man just chillout, watch his previous videos, and watch how he can creatively put knowledge into fun, dont be salty
@@dhriadel Ok I believe you

After years of struggling to learn this shit comes this guy and teaches it in 7mins

Isn't this dude an international treasure? This humor tickles my sweat spots. Err, I mean sweet pots. Spots!
tickles your WHAT

Wow this channel is underrated, so educational, thanks!
thanks so much belly from the underworld. matching the scales to certain songs is very smart and a game changer
It's not a game changer dude. It's literally the whole game.
Such a humble, Innocent & loving Professor😂😂I would feel terrible not to give this video a thumbs up!
Love to see youre back from your sabbatical!
Fudging hilarious, don't ever stop making these videos bro!
this quality humor lol. i hope you and geraldine are having a good day!
This is the only video that made me understand scales at best! Thank you so much!
man wtf this "trick" about moving one semitone up and only use the "white" keys really is a major game changer in my understanding of this jesus christ! My man! Love your stuff
I've missed you Prance.
this is getting better and better
As a Chico State grad, I wish they actually taught this in my classes.
I love Prof. Underbelly. I keep watching his stuff and get too scared to submit my piece for roasting. But I keep watching. I also know that he actually has a virtuoso pianist up his sleeve. Please everybody support the Professor.
I've been watching you since I started three years ago, same amazing content and still extremely helpful, much love -oaks
I love these characters. Fine work.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart… Chico State grad class of 2006
The immense knowledge needed to create music will never outshine the ability to be creative subjectively.

The funniest channel on UA-cam. And educational too.
I wish I laughed this much learning at school since the humor helps me remember the subjects better
THANKS you are the best professor!
The scale playslists is a great idea !

This dude could literally be a stand up comedian
Awsome you rock man
Protect this man at all costs.

I've just discovered the scale button yesterday and this video just went out . Perfect timing
Prance god
Best videos on the interwebs hands down
thank you sweet prince. may my sensitive parts be as marvelous as your teaching

A common trick used by countless bands is to sing a tragedy over a major scale and happy lyrics over a minor scale.
Music as well as any art is about contrast.
One thing to note is to never be afraid to borrow chords from other scales
i luv u professor

You Sir are a genius!
TATAYAYA!, ME HACES TANTO REÍR

Much obliged, internet beat man. I have my Berklee audition coming up and I assume they’re gonna wanna know the mode of the song I make. Intriguing truly
5:25 is "Everything means nothing to me" from Elliot Smith
My buddy Paul teaches at Chico State too! Wonder if Prance and he hang out 😃
