    Are 'scale' and 'key' the same thing?

    • @matticawood
      @matticawood  2 місяці тому +2

      A scale is all of the notes that make up a key.
      E.g. the Key of C major has no sharps/flats - so the scale of C major is the notes C D E F G A and B 😊

    • @Oskinavara
      @Oskinavara 2 місяці тому +2

      Not entirely. In most cases yes, especially when considering most pop songs. But scale is just a group of notes, it might be 5, 6, 7 or even 8, where a key is based on a tonic chord, for example C major. Now imagine a rock guitarist (like Slash) soloiong over a chord (or a progression). He will use a pentatonic SCALE which only consists of 5 notes even though the key could possibly be made of 7 notes. Another jazz player might use a half tone - semi tone scale which has 8 notes but play in the same key like C major. I would say that scales are fluid and can change throughout the song, especially when people are soloing over the chords, where the key is mostly constant (of course not always). Hit me up if you need some more explanation

    • @matticawood
      @matticawood  2 місяці тому

      I think I mostly agree. Although I would add that if a piece of music uses notes from a scale that moves outside the key then it is temporarily or permanently no longer in that key. If you used a chromatic scale in C major, I would not describe that section as being in the key of C major. Whereas if it uses something like the pentatonic scale, which only includes a subset of the notes from the key, then the section might be best described as using a pentatonic scale, but would still also be described as being in the same key.

    • @Oskinavara
      @Oskinavara 2 місяці тому

      @@matticawoodHmm. I don't think a chromatic run changes the key of a song. You could play whatever notes you want, even such not described by any known scale but still underlying chords and progression will not change drastically most of the time. There is also a reason "borrowed" chords exist, so even using a chord outside of the key doesn't change the key, so I don't believe a solo or melody could change it because it's less impactful. But it's ok to disagree :)

    • @matticawood
      @matticawood  2 місяці тому +1

      I pretty much agree, I think it’s a matter of how you best want to describe and categorise what’s being played. You could describe borrowed chords as a temporary shift in tonal center and therefore key or you could say it’s an exception to the key that the piece is generally in. In the case of a chromatic scale, revising my previous statement, I would not describe the notes as from the key of C major…but in that context I would agree I would likely describe it as generally remaining in the same key (if the chords underneath are still implying C major).
      Similar to describing the notes (GBDE) as Em7 or G6…at the end of the day it’s just labels that change from person to person and depending on context.

    7:37 Is that new chord a C7? You say it's a "seven" (the automatic subtitle says it). Or what do you mean with seven?

    • @user-vz6sr1lf7k
      @user-vz6sr1lf7k 2 місяці тому +2

      it's not a C7 it's a Am7 ( A minor 7) because it has the seventh (G),

    • @ronsn8071
      @ronsn8071 2 місяці тому +1

      @@user-vz6sr1lf7k Oh, I see. ... but wait: But in an A minor chord with a 7th note, wouldn't you also raise the 7th note by a half note, so that you play a G# instead of the note G? I'm a bit confused because I thought that you don't play the natural minor, but either the melodic or the harmonic minor?

    • @user-vz6sr1lf7k
      @user-vz6sr1lf7k 2 місяці тому +1

      @@ronsn8071 Idk what to exactly tell you, but from my knowledge, you play the natural minor, so G being the 7th note. Adding a G# would make a different chord like a augmented chord. Talking about the C7 chord, you also have a Cmaj7. The difference between them is that in C7 you have a flat 7th (C, E, G, Bb) and in Cmaj7 you have a normal 7th (C, E, G, B). They could be pretty useful.

    • @matticawood
      @matticawood  2 місяці тому +1

      It is indeed Am7…C major is CEG and Am7 is ACEG (so the same chord but with an extra A at the bottom.
      With any minor7 chord you can think of it as a minor chord with a minor 7th. So an A minor chord with a minor 7th (G) rather than a major 7th (G#). There are generally 5 types of seventh.
      Major 7th - E.g. A C# E G# (a major triad with a major 7th)
      Minor 7th - E.g. A C E G (a minor triad with a minor 7th)
      Dominant 7th - A C# E G (a major triad with a minor 7th)
      Diminished 7th - A C Eb Gb(a diminished 7th with a diminished 7th)
      Half Diminished 7th - A C Eb G (a diminished 7th with a minor 7th)
      I hope that helps 😊
