    The sharp closest to the right > up a semitone = major scale.
    The second flat to the right = major scale.
    Whatever the result is > down a tone and a half = minor scale.
    And also about the scales. How every scale the chords will be maj, min, min, maj, maj, min, dim, maj.
    And the 1st, 4th and 4th primary chords of the scale
    Thank you so much I never knew about this before but I'm so thankful I know now!

    Great Lesson, Tim! This lesson helps me see how the scales relate to the chords and how to utilize them in playing a piece. I think it might be interesting to take each scale and break it down into the patterns of chords. I must take a look at the other videos you have suggested. Again, great video!

  • @jammybilly
    @jammybilly 4 роки тому

    Thanks Tim! I had come up with a melody for a song. I played with C# major because it was the first note but I was undecided. I now realise I have 4 sharps so I will go and check what key that could be.
    I have to say I watched your video first then I watched 3 others. They all said they were going to find chords to a melody but when I got there they ALL said we were in the key of C and they were just finding the chords to the key of C from the melody notes. Not quite the same thing. So thankyou very much for teaching what you actually said you were going to teach us.

    @JackC11111 5 років тому

    It is so much easier if you learn all the minor keys first and then look at the second note in the minor chord (1st inversion) and make it major. For example, if I am in the key of Dm and a Dm chord is DFA, then I look at the second note in the chord and realize that the equivalent is F major.

    • @Wout1337
      @Wout1337 3 роки тому +1

      9 months later, but maybe still useful: The first letter is the chord that is being played, and the second the bass note below that chord. So C/G (C over G) is a C chord with a G in the bass.

    at around 7'10 you said a couple times that that chord in the notation is E major, but E, G and B make E minor, don't they? I got really confused. Or you were ignoring that there was no signaling to indicate that the F# / Gb from the actual E major chord?

    Wow. I think the most people won´t play just chords in the left hand. They want to play more complex moving chords and if you do that the chords themselves are completely changing... And just to say "Its often just 1, 4 and 5" is not good too... ist really variating. Also the most people dont want to play one single chord several cycles in a row so thats stupid too... (in this case the f chord)
