    Fantastic! Not just the chords, but the choice of instruments, which adds to the emotional impact.

      Important point about the instruments. This is one of several videos I've watched recently that are supposed to be about the emotional effects of the chords themselves, but then each example uses different instrumentation. Speaking for myself, when it's presented in that way, I find it hard to tell what the relative contribution of those variables are in creating the emotional effect.

    it was made using chord progressions for: Magical, Mysterious Tension, Superhero and Transcendence. In that order! great stuff

    I remember my theory teacher telling us that Augmented chords were used in those themes played in old silent films with some villain tying a Damsel in distress to the Rail Road tracks.

    • @1man1guitarletsgo
      @1man1guitarletsgo 3 місяці тому +1

      No, they would be diminished chords, not augmented. On guitar, I'd play a bar of Ddim (xx0101), slide up to Fdim (003434), then Abdim (006767), cutting between the train and the damsel. To create tension and urgency, I'd then repeat that sequence, but one fret higher in each case (i.e., a one semitone key change). Try it. You can also throw in an augmented chord here and there, to represent the train whistle.

  • @adityakulkarni2343
    @adityakulkarni2343 11 місяців тому +3

    I would love to add a iv6 chord in the sadness progression. That chord simply gives the magnitude of sadness imo. C major along with Fm6 or Ddim just gives that emotion. Great video tho!

    I liked the superhero progression and the magical, i like the combination of the use of piano and oboe melody in the love chord progression. But then again, i like them all. 😊 All progressions give a different feeling. I like the use of seventh chords for romance too.

  • @mikeysplayhouse1971
    @mikeysplayhouse1971 7 місяців тому

    This is very useful. I've already jotted down all the progressions and tried them out. I'm very interested in the film score progressions that we hear all the time and sound great. Love the super hero breakdown, sadness and love. Deep dives into all of them or more examples!

    The emotions seemed spot on and it seems I remember hearing those in the movie "Lord of the Rings". The given emotion matched what was in the scenes quite well.

    on the Love one: seems more like : ||: i - - - | bVI - - - | III | bVII 4 - bVII - | iv - - - | bVI - - - | bVII 4 - bVII - :|| In the minor keys 6 and 7 are flat 6 and b7, kind of important, should you use any parallel minor keys.. These are great, been looking for a demonstration of Cinematic progressions, primarily utilizing the Mediants, Chromatic Mediants (1 note in common) and double Chromatic Mediants (no notes in common).. Thanks man, this is fantastic, opens up a whole new world for me.. oh, btw.. that last one Transcendence.. The reason it sort of works, is that in E melodic minor you have the minor 3rd (G), but you also have C# (raised VI) and the (leading tone (to Em) D# (raised VII).. Great explanation.. kinda helps to have a solid music theory background.. This opens up really cool ideas.. The Chromatic mediants and even negative-harmony work very well.. Do you have some examples of using Negative Harmony?

    Music is largely about what people agree sounds good. In the west we agree on a 12-note octave and (mostly) 7-note scales and 7-chord keys. We agree that the dominant 7th chord best resolves to the tonic. We agree that rock is largely Mixolydian. Some call these things cliche and others just recognize the broad agreement about how things should sound. So it’s no big surprise that these nine progressions evoke a certain emotion or support the particular emotion the film is showing us. Great video!

    With the last one I experimented with using the same progression of chord qualities ( mi-maj-maj) and got the similar feel of wonder. I'll try it with the othet progressions and see if I can develop a feel for playing the mood on the fly. Thanks.

    Thank you! Again, I wrote my notes on my music staff notebook. I noticed that 8 of your melodies didn’t end with the root music notes of the chords (melodies end with the 3rd or the 5th of the chords). Any particular reason for ending the melodies with the 3rd or the 5th of the last chord? I would like to learn. Thanks!
