Push2 is the best thing I ever bought. I started on bass guitar, and used the chromatic mode on push 2 for a long time since the layout is the same. Eventually I started to understand scales and chords within those scales for what they really are, rather than some abstract unknowable thing. The patterns are just there to see. It's like jacking into the matrix.
I figured out the shapes for different chords and inversions, but you explaining the grid gave me a tangible way to visualize the keys. You earned your like Sir!
Unreal job! I have had Push2 for years and I have always wanted to actually learn proper chord 'theory' on the Push. Now I understand it more! Thank you
This is one of the best explanations of how to set-up and play chords on Ableton. Thanks for this. I am curious how it would be set up using the Chord MIDI Effects.
This is great man! I own push and was looking for some midi keyboard to play as I thought pads might be too tricky. This video helped me very much, some money saved and I learned a lot!. Thanks!
Great vid, music theory is so simplified when playing on pushes grid with only scale notes available, I played guitar for years and was always mystified by this stuff.
THE BEST VIDEO WITH THE PUSH 2!!!!!!! We just purchased the push and have live standard and will eventually upgrade to the suite! This video is jackpot for us and we needed this badly! Great explantation and details! Thank you so much for making it easy!
Thank you for taking the time to show how to use Ableton push 2 which i have found very interesting and extremely helpful. You have unlocked in this video what was.stopping me from using Push and I will now be spending a lot more time watching and learning from your output. Thank you
Thanks for making this. I’ve been exploring Nashville note system (NNS) and the flexibility it offers for changing key. Been playing with NNS on guitar and even using capo it is a bit challenging to do with all keys. Got to thinking, “I should try NNS with Push in this mode you’re showing so well. I could toggle to a different key and easily play a 1 4 5 1 progression. And learning some inversions this way would also be easier than on guitar.
Wow, this is a powerful tutorial for me. I am in the middle on understanding music theory and this was very helpful understanding music theory along with understanding how Push works. Thank you and please post more videos like this.
I've been practicing guitar and learning theory with it for years (on and off). I've never been more interested in theory until I got my Push 2 though lol. I wanna be able to play chords on it and know what I'm doing. I feel like the Push 2 speeds up the music making process as opposed to traditional instruments.
Thank you for the explanation of chord formations. I came from the guitar family and know very little about keyboards and have always wanted to learn to play. I like the idea of Push 2 and how it is laid out. It makes better since to me but I guess if you are from the keyboard family then Push 2 would be hard to get used to. I purchased the Push 2 and it is supposed to be here today and I can't wait to get started learning with it. Your tutorial will help me tremendously. Thank you for sharing. You have a new subscriber now.
there's a really handy tool in the midi effects category called the midi monitor which will display a little keyboard and also tell you what chord you're currently playing only bummer is that it's not able to display this information on the push itself
Omfg 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍. Dude u did a great job in this toturial. Freaky amazing. Love it love it. I finally get it with the pads. I could never figure out the relations of the pads to the keys. Tnx to this video u have created a Push Monster still learning to crack open the pandorabox😈😈😈😈😈😈🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
very helpful, thanks! Wasn't so sure about how it made it easy to refer back to what the chord was supposed to be (where you relate it back to the root, but I am fairly clueless anyway.) Thanks for the primer. Subscribing and diving in to see if you did more...
@WasabiNoise, this is a spectacularly valuable aid, and you taught it in a way that is so easy to remember. This video contains wisdom -- simple knowledge that I'll be able to apply endlessly. I am deeply impressed by what you shared, and even more deeply grateful. Thanks for your insight and generosity.
When learning chord changes and shapes do you think in terms of numbers instead of notes? Like don't think of a progression as C-ami-F-G but I-vi-IV-V? Because those shapes can work with any key, right? When you played the first C chord I instantly thought if you moved the 5th or G to A you would have an ami second inversion. That one note change would always give you a I-vi change. I'm starting to see the light. Thanks!
This was helpful, thanks. Seems weird, that minors, diminisheds are the sam shape as majors ... ? I take it the 'in key' mode means it is 'quantized' (in a pitch sense) to whatever key it is set to. So, you don't think about notes, you need think about scle degrees - and 'trust the machine to know whether than scale degree should be major or minor'? Seems like it would be harder for someone who is used to theory on a keyboard (to whom it's counter-intuitive to use the same shape for major, minor and diminished!). I'm just looking at trying out a push (or launchpad pro), so this has been insightful. Cheers!
Thanks for the kind words!. I've been learning piano for a year now, but honestly, I always have the channel on the back of my head "I need to upload another video", and I work fulltime as a software engineer. But comments like these help, maybe I can do a follow up within chromatic mode (I've been improving on my music theory). I've been making some Lo-Fi chasing those nice 7th chords sounds. Thanks!
@@WasabiNoise no wonder you can figure out the push 2 as an instrument! I play piano but i love ableton! its great for performing as a looping artist and the push 2 helps the work flow! Saying hi from Canada

This is the first video to actually learn something about push's scale system in a structured way. Thanks a lot for that!

this in a comprehesible way. Great job!
Amazing video, thanks for the explanations. Very well done. Cheers from Frankfurt, Laura

Glad it was helpful!!! Enjoy using the Push!
It can be fun to play around in the in key mode. I need that chromatic though.
Ableton needs to hire you, my friend...Amazing info here.
Excellent explanation of how to think about the Push pads. Thank you for making it. Subbed.
Thanks for this awesome tutorial and finally i understand more of the music chords and progression... Damn i love that Push...

Dude.. same here..I too am a guitarist and recently purchased the push 2 and its definitely helping me grasp music theory a bit more.
maravillloso ! gracias hno
don't have ableton push, but still on launchpad X i can do same chords like here... thank you soo much for this tutorial!
Thanks for the comment! I will have this in mind if I make more videos about the layout.
This is super helpful! Thank you very much

Great! This is super clear.
ABSOLUTELY WHOA 😳. Dude this was crazy good. GREAT EXPLANATION!!!
Glad it helped!
super helpful thanks brah
this is a fantastic video! thanks for the breakdown - i was confused by the 4th's layout on the push
I'm glad it was helpful! It can also help if you play guitar, as it goes in 4ths as well (but the B string).
Super cool. Very helpful techniques
本当に面白い！ありがとうございます！！
いいですよ ☺️
that's a good video. thanks :) there was a music-teacher on utube who didn't explain it that good so thx.
Love it. Great video. Thanks
Really great tutorial! You're easy to follow and you explain concepts well. Big up

No problem!
this was fantastic, thx!

great, thanks a lot!
I use 1-3-5 in horizontal line, starting in the left marked note, from down to up. Great video !
Thanks! Yeah! there's no right or wrong!
Really great job! Subbed! :)
thank you bro thank you
Excellent!
Many thanks!
Super lesson
Thanks!!! It’s been a while since I made the video and I’m glad it still helps people out :)
This changed the way I produce music, thank you so much!

Very helpful vid! thanx!
I just got one of these and played around with major cords...this is just what I was looking for. Thanks for the video, subscribed. :)
Absolutely amazing tutorial. Thank you so much.
Good editing. Helps a lot to understand.

WasabiNoise Ableton should use ur video in their playlist tutorials.
This is gold.

Thank man live the content and tour video Cheers from Panamá
Thank you, great Tutorial !!!!!
Thank you. I get better understanding from your tutorial. I will try to follow your suggestion.
Awesome tutorial thank you! I wish someone would make a chord shape tutorial on piano that’s this easy to understand :p
Thank you for watching. I've been thinking about this and try to approach it in a different way than in other videos. Hopeful I can do it soon.
Thanks for the tutorial ! 👍🏼🤪
GREAT VIDEO! VERY HELPFUL
Dope shit!

Hi, thank You very much for video! please let me know how do I get a keypad up onto my screen for comparing ?
okee, I found, You already answered! 🔥
ua-cam.com/video/vjJ3khY11Dc/v-deo.html
So the left side of the push is a mirror to allow you to hit all those different chords without changing shapes? Pretty smart
Thank you, my friend, very useful, inversions. 6-keys square, suspend.
This was helpful, thanks. Seems weird, that minors, diminisheds are the sam shape as majors ... ? I take it the 'in key' mode means it is 'quantized' (in a pitch sense) to whatever key it is set to. So, you don't think about notes, you need think about scle degrees - and 'trust the machine to know whether than scale degree should be major or minor'? Seems like it would be harder for someone who is used to theory on a keyboard (to whom it's counter-intuitive to use the same shape for major, minor and diminished!). I'm just looking at trying out a push (or launchpad pro), so this has been insightful. Cheers!
awesome
Where can I obtain a visual resource like the piano scales you have at the top or a plug-in that will tell you the chord you are playing?
this is great stuff why did you stop posting man!
Thanks for the kind words!. I've been learning piano for a year now, but honestly, I always have the channel on the back of my head "I need to upload another video", and I work fulltime as a software engineer. But comments like these help, maybe I can do a follow up within chromatic mode (I've been improving on my music theory). I've been making some Lo-Fi chasing those nice 7th chords sounds. Thanks!
