      I mean you just say huhhhh and then press keys. If it’s the first note that’s the root Note so it’s the key. Then listen if it’s happy or sad. Major or minor.

    You should do some theory vids, like the easiest way to memorize scales and chords, as well as how to train your ears

    • @ServidaMusic
      @ServidaMusic  6 років тому +20

      I did a chord one if you haven't seen that

    • @shadowpumpboi8851
      @shadowpumpboi8851 6 років тому +7

      Yeah I've seen that one (great job on it too BTW) I would just also love to see something that explains even more music theory
      for example, in your chord vid, your chord progression was C, Am, Dm, and G, and when you explained passing chords, you explained that you could jump between C and Am with an Em to spice up the progression. This probably makes sense to a lot of people, but I don't know enough theory to understand why this specific chord fits. Would you be able to explain this, or show me where you learned theory, so that I can have a better understanding of your musical choices?
      I don't mean to be troublesome, but I am only giving this constructive criticism because you are currently one of the best beatmaking youtubers out there and I want you to be able to master the art of teaching
      Much love Simon!

    • @ServidaMusic
      @ServidaMusic  6 років тому +12

      The only reason it "fits" is because it sounds good. All you have to do is experiment and try it out

    • @diymusicbiz
      @diymusicbiz 5 років тому +7

      @@shadowpumpboi8851 I haven't seen Simon's vid on chords but when speaking diatonically, meaning all chords made from the scale, you're going to run into this pattern (I'll use M for Major and m for minor)
      M
      m
      m
      M
      m
      dim (also a minor)
      This is also read as
      I
      ii
      iii
      IV
      V
      vi
      vii*
      CEG
      DFA
      EGB
      FACE
      GBD
      ACE
      BDF
      Notice that the 1 chord C and the iii chord Em share 2 notes (E and G). Likewise Chord IV and ii share 2 notes (FA). While you can substitute any chord you like, subbing the 1 and iii or ii and IV are going to be easier because that have a bit in common. I'll let you look at the V and vii* chord your self :)
      chords 1, 3 and 6 are known as tonic chords
      chords 2 and 4 = Sub Dominant
      Theory can be a rabbit hole but fun to learn and comes in handy when analyzing and breaking down music.

    • @t6amygdala
      @t6amygdala 4 роки тому

      For me, the easiest way to memorise scales is to just use them a lot. I have d minor memorised because most of my songs are in it (and also it’s pretty easy)

    • @pentabitsmusic
      @pentabitsmusic 4 роки тому +8

      I know I'm late but, stable chord means when you go to it you can stop and it will feel fine.
      if you stop at a nonstable chord it feels incomplete.
      the stable chord in C major is well, C major. in A minor its A minor, In G major its G major, etc.
