    Chords - when three or more notes are played together.
    - responsible for setting emotions in the music.
    Harmony - when two notes are played together.
    - The most common chords are triads
    Which contains three notes from the major scale -
    Root - 1st note , 3rd note and the 5th note.
    In music there are 4 types of triads.
    In this video major and minor chords are discussed.
    Major - sound brighter and happier
    Minor - sound darker and serious

    thanks for this! I like to say that it is 3 half steps up or 4 half steps up instead of saying "between" because a separation of 3 half steps up technically has two notes in between them, which can lead to confusion when you say "the first and third scale degree of a minor chord has three half steps between them"

    I have a question.or a couple rather. as a beginning song writer producer who would watch all of your videos in which to learn chord progressions and the starting of a melody which in turn would hopefully stir up some creative emotional writing as I write from emotion usually lower keyed deeper emotion then gradually forging to a higher emotional standing ground, would I for one need basic keyboard skills, music reading basic knowledge, etc. or could I just watch all u have on chord progression then take that to my daws, and midi,
    currently learning with in home studio: MacBook 2017 version , mpk mini , interface , Aston microphone , and autotune.
    my goal is to write something slowly melodic that is freeform written from the soul.
    do I need a keyboard ? or is midi sufficient ?
    sucks as an artist you have to go to school or at least know u have the right tools. for some of us missing in strategy and vibe can be costly .

    Every single chord is an exact replica of each other the only thing that's different apart from its given letter is its sound and pitch. Musical note progression is an infinite loop with 22 variations per chord 7 main chords in total its endless. For no one on earth could ever fully master it although many have tried but all fall short.

    Can't seem to get my brain to understand this stuff. Don't understand music theory and I always let my ears guide me. I can get some chord progressions to work well but very simple ones. Nothing great or complex which would definitely give a better emotional feeling. Music theory is too complicated and scares me. Guess I'm not very smart LOL!

    • @LANDRmusic
      @LANDRmusic  5 років тому +3

      We all start out that way. A great way to learn about #music theory is kind of following the same learning patterns that you do with learning a new language--or even working out. Taking a brief moment of time out of your day to sit down and immerse yourself will gradually transition you from a novice to a pro.
