After making the song+vid I realized the master pitch wheel was turned up two semi-tones. But the recorded ones still display a C Major song.. so figured it as a lil easter egg for the ones with great ears rather than re-recording
How did you figure it out mate? You must have perfect pitch? Or can you train yourself to this degree that you can tell the scale by listening to the audio?
A bit of theory, The Third interval is the most important note in any chord. It is literally the note that brings out the quality of the chord I.E making it a Major or Minor chord! In some Jazz chord voicings, some remove the 5th and opt for other notes instead. That's why in classical Harmony, Parallel 5ths (two 5th intervals played side by side) is usually frowned upon, because it gives out a more ambiguous and unclear quality compared to others using other intervals.
voicing is also a concern 5th harmonies, after all, are "perfect intervals" so they tend to blend in more with everything else and on the other hand we have power chords being played on Electric Guitars which always have a fifth lol
The problem is not they are ambiguous, is that they "blend" so you lose the two (or more) voices singing together effect. They can be use as final stable chord, just not in counterpoint melodies.
parallel fifths n such are only important when you write counterpoint, i.e. 2 or more melodies at the same time. parallel fifths and octaves make the two melodies sound too similar and homogenous, thereby losing their individuality. :D
im clueless on this topic yet i still clicked on this video and watched to the end because somehow u are able to draw in a lot of ppl like me easily.. so whatever ur doing dont stop and please continue making more videos in this format because these are really fun to watch for anyone

0:27 that "awful" has a name - they are notes on the whole tone scale. the way you create it is by essentially stacking major thirds on top of one another, then split each third into two halves... until you get yourself 6 equally spaced notes. whole tone scale feels eerie but that's one good thing to know! it's all about what kind of feeling you want to create. as to why that major third + minor third sounded so good? it all comes down to the harmonic series. frequencies that are a fifth apart vibrate nicely with each other, and so do major thirds, because they appear early on in the harmonic series (perfect fifth being the 3rd harmonic and major third being the 5th). major third + minor third approximates the perfect fifth (equivalent under twelve tone equal temperament), and so you hear the five harmonics at once - THAT'S the work of a major triad, and that's surely going to sound nice ;) TLDR fifths are awesome and major triad is divine and did i mention i f**king love circle of fifths
I think that the harmonic series is not a universal ideal of aesthetic. It's more about cultural conditioning. I actually think just intonation sounds out of tune.
@@lordlouckster2315 didn't know the term "just intonation" -- but yes, i do think equal temperament conditions our ears to perceive harmonic series as off-tune. i don't deny the role of culture in our judgment, though i suppose it is fair to say that harmonic series is one theory of why we like certain intervals worth mentioning ^^ (i don't go to a conservatory or study music very seriously so my comment might have been grossly wrong, sorry. i just wanted to explain why i personally liked circle of fifths so much and the theory may have come off as overgeneralizing)
"The minor third however, is three steps up." 0:15 "It’s alright." 0:31 "Chord change!" 0:50 "If you’re new to this, it can be nice to start" 0:51 "Me on the root notes:" 0:56 "Just singing the exact same ones." 1:16 "Now theory is great, but your ears will really get you a long way here." 1:33 "Just playing around.

Your ears will definitely take you a long way. Just did my first-ever Celtic lullaby for an editing client and those harmonies went way beyond your natural minor scale-which was also a first for me. It's RIDICULOUSLY fun and awesome to see what experimentation will get you.
This is easily best music tutorial channel, i always get excited to try all of ur tips, I don’t often feel excited after a tutorial. Your editing is nice and clean. The music is perfect for this kind of video. They’re entertaining too, I can see myself rewatching this.
My favorite interval to add to notes in melodies is an octave. It adds more power than any other interval and it also sounds a little threatening usually.
Oh I don't even produce and just love listening to you explaining these things and to your tunes! As an amateur singer, coming up with melodies was always so hard for me. Sometimes, I would find some very cool ones, sometimes, they would be off-key flops from the start. Seeing you create them in an almost natural way as if you've never done something else is just next level cool for me. I hope you will create more videos and songs for a loooong time to come. 💕
This is kinda helpful to me. I'm thinking of making music for myself only. But when it's the time, I'll be doing it. Also this is the first time someone playing music WHILE teaching the audience how to do it. Keep doing it mate
