It's fascinating how it resembles narrative theory, like in Euripides. Chord progressions are narratives or stories because they are transitions where tension or conflict encountered and released. It has something to do with the way our brains make meaning out of time, transformation, or chronologies of events.
Absolutely, when i realized this i was 🤯
Fascinating connection
It would be really cool if you create a chart/PDF that summarizes these emotional musical concepts.
At 0:30, there's actually a great book that explains pretty much everything in this video that was published back in 2008, and also features the harmonic circular scale (the actual name for your chord diagram at timestamp 10:40) and why it's better at explaining chord progressions than the circle of fifths. It's called "How Music Really Works" by Wayne Chase. It's in chapter 6 but I recommend reading through the earlier chapters about how intervals within chords interact with each other to make complete sense, based on psychoacoustics and how our brain responds to frequency ratios of intervals. There's also different categories of progression types that produce different emotions such as fifths (downwards as C to G, or upwards C to G), thirds (C to Em, or Am to C), seconds (C to Dm or Am to G, and chromatic ones (escaping the scale, C to Bb for example). Chord intervals such as 6ths or 7ths (distance between the bass notes of different chords) don't exist within the harmonic scale because they are complementary due to the circular nature of the scale and how octaves don't define chord progression qualities (whereas the octave does matter in melody). A lot of the concepts aren't new either, the circular harmonic scale concept at 10:40 was also introduced way back in 1959 in Victor Zuckerkandl’s book "The Sense of Music," which Wayne said was a source in his research. So that shows the solidness of the concept if it can be explained and put to use a half a century later by different people!
what a great comment. very informal.
Super interesting. Will def check those out!
Great
Thank you!
Wtf it’s $250 on Amazon? 😮
This video is criminally underrated. Great explanations of something we don’t hear often enough!
god it’s so refreshing to hear someone talking about something actually interesting and not yelling on youtube
Thought i was gonna watch for a couple minutes and get bored. Ended up watching the whole thing and being surprised it was already over. I could listen to an hour of this content. Seriously well delivered. It's got that chill, simple vibe that just invites you to sit back and listen. Liked and subbed, looking forward for more!
Thank you, I appreciate that :)
The tonic is best appreciated when mixed with gin.
👌👌👌
yo man, you’re the human being needed on this platform right now! good job with that ❤
Your way of conveying these concepts in existential terms is truly mind blowing. I am very glad I stumbled upon your channel!
THIS IS EVERYTHING IVE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT ON MY OWN, THANK YOU
Ditto. I’ve been trying to unlock the “emotions” behind intervals and chords. All those _feelings_ you have when you hear a melody over chords, and how you can spice up something simple giving it impact without it sounding too contrived or predictable.
It’s such a rabbit hole you can disappear down
This was an incredible break down of these concepts! Thank you for sharing!
Stayed for the great information, subscribed for the stache.
Epic video 🙏🏻
good shit, i've been loosely familiar with these concepts after hearing them over and over from different sources and this video really feels like the start of actually putting the theory together into a coherent framework.
Wow, I’ve been studying and creating music professionally for years now and you just connected so many dots for me in 14 minutes. Thank you sir, this was incredibly helpful 🙏🏼
Thank you so much!!
A c chord makes me feel something that can only be described as, UNYIELDINGLY HORNY
I immediately subscribed upon watching this video. Really appreciate your work, keep it up!
the first couple of minutes of your video had me seated *subscribed*
this channel is going to explode in 2024 ...mark my words
Hear, hear!
Agree
Awsome
Check Anselm Buchmann for the new way off saxophon playing
ok
I absolutely love the narrative you chose to use to explain it. Though I am a beginner in learning the theory, I always LOVED listening to music, and it was soooo hard to find material related to music and emotions but you really hit home on this one, so thank you so much!! Looking forward to more content!!
Hey thank you!!
Dude… This is so good. Brilliant.
Very interesting to hear this explained with the chords written out and with musical examples.
"Social construct" is the foundation against which every musical performance, live or from media, is experienced. So your emotional presumptions are based in part on this common thread. But temperament changes the actual math, so not all Maj7 or m7 chords, for example, are equivalent, the overtone series changes - on a piano or guitar, a string section automatically corrects for it.
this should be a series I love the language you use very descriptive just subscribed to see this turned into a series
brilliant video man. As someone who has delved into music theory in the last few years, everything you said resonated with me, even down to the emotion you prescribed to each degree (when you said nostolgia for 13th my jaw dropped cuz thats what I alwasy think of) Great work! Keep it up! would love to see some videos that tackle more advanced concepts as well. subscribed
Amazing!! :)
Wow, amazing, was looking for this on YT for a long while. Many thanks for taking us on your journey of learning. Subbed
Love it! Thank you.
this is amazing man thank you !
Thank you for making this
Great video, thanks.
Yoooo I just found your channel, I’m loving it thank you!
Great video! Thanks for making this!
Nice work man. Thanks for
really well thought through and helpful. thank you
Thank you brother. Big help.
This was an incredibly detailed explanation of these chords. As a writer as well as a musician, this makes so much sense to me. Thanks!
Truly amazing educational content. Thank you so much for sharing this with the world!!!!
Loved the video. Exactly what I've been looking for ❤
Man you make me want to dig in theory once again. Thank you
Very nicely explained
Best explanation yet and I have done hundreds of hrs of research on this topic.
great lesson ! I really liked the fact you showed the chord relations as the songs were playing it really helped to visualise what you were talking about
Love this video really helped me better understand the chords n stuff more than I have been before
This is the best theory and composing video I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen a lot over the years. Thank you 🙏🏼 love your presentation and style. New sub.
Thanks a lot!
Same here! Subbed
That's very interesting and thanks listened to everything..so many beautiful sounds
Great content! Thanks for sharing! 😁
very interesting , thank you
Killer lesson! Subbed and ty!
Great stuff man, subscribed from Sweden 👑
Hey man, fantastic video, delivery, information, and giving just enough personality to keep it extremely pleasant to watch. I subbed, lookin’ forward to more content from you for sure!
Hey thanks for the feedback :)
Today you find so much about technique, but barely nothing about convey emotions. One of the best vid`s 👍
Some unique and helpful insights there! Thanks for sharing.
Amazing !
great talk and thought provoking. thanks for sharing...
Thank you sir. That was quite great knowledge. I will have to watch this vid thrice more to fully grasp the knowledge. May be I ll watch it after 6 months. That works wonders for me.
Outstanding video to someone with no classical musical training. Gives me a sense of direction in music making. More vidoes like these are a must!
THANK YOU 🤘🎵
Explained so perfectly!
Great video man! You did a great job explaining this. I struggle a lot with this while studying music as a young musician, but I think you were able to convey the message quite clear. I hope to see more awesome videos like this one in the future!
one of the best videos, thanks bro
congrats on 1000 subs! and cool video too :)
Great video and really well presented and explained!
I've watched a ton of music theory videos and this one is great. i dig how you present the concepts. thank you very much
You are an amazing teacher bro! The way you broke down tonics and functional harmony is everything! You perfectly explained why notes go together something I haven’t been able to grasp until now! So many dots being connected. Thank u 🙏🏾
Great !! appreciate the comment. Thank you!
He explains music theory so well
GOOD JOB
Great explanation
I'm so glad that you emphasize that this is not science and likely involves a lot of societal preconceptions. Enables me to actually enjoy the talk.
this is great, also note how the harmonic circular scale sort of maps to the hero's journey
Thanks so much, that was amazing 👏!
You're Awesome, man!!!!!
Finally someone explaining this, the emotions. Thanks mate.
Dear Neo (Cortex): Please see my Theory of Pitch Psychology here my own page. - _The Acoustic Rabbit Hole_
Great lesson, very interesting and condensing class on modes and moods of chords! I'm going to listen to your music. Thanks for creating, man!
Thanks bud, keep it up too !
you right on point
Great video bro and well articulated! Subbed
Good stuff!
God bless you brother this vidoe is so informative keep up the work
Thanks!
Thank you ! 🙏
Truly one of the best music tutorial videos on UA-cam. I hope your channel blows up.
Would you possibly do a video similar to this one analyzing, and explicating in a similar way about melodic intervals and melodic figures and their possible emotional and narrative meanings?
Thank you. Yes this would be interesting, I'm cooking up a video on modes which will start to get into that. I think this topic deserves a video series probably
Amazing video, really gave me a fresh perspective on concepts I’ve understood for years. Nice one!
Great to hear, thank you
Nice descriptions. I think the inversion of the chord also makes a huge difference. A ii chord sounds very different with the third in the bass for example than the root, more like a IV chord. Also, chromatic modulations have their own flavor. Once you start to understand all the chords intimately, they really do operate like a language.
Absolutely good idea for a future video
Tonal colours tints and hues, leaving hints adjective clues, harmonic chintz, yodel blues.
Wow this is indeed really great stuff. All the best
So glad this was recommended! I've been playing piano and I've been drawn to Fm11. I have a few videos on my UA-cam page playing the notes.
Funny you say that, I’m actually composing a sonata in f minor, it’s probably my favourite key at the moment
@@purpasteur amazing! I am not professionally trained, but I played the keys until it sounded "right". Hope ya post it when complete 🎉
dude! what a wonderful video. subscribed!
Best video I’ve seen in about 13 years. Thank you. This is something I’ve not only thought about, but how I ALWAYS think of music. It’s just how it’s always worked in my mind as I’m playing piano or guitar.
Thank you, happy that it resonates with people!!
awesome! subbed
that’s the best thing about this topic i’ve ever seen
I’ve been playing guitar for a little while and just started learning piano to help me learn music theory. Your explanations make a ton of sense to me even though I am at an early stage with the instrument. Would love to see more videos like this. Great job man!
Awesome video. More like this please!
I'm on it!!
You might appreciate the “Noodle Crutch” tool, found in the musical composition game called “Infinite Songbook”. The video instructions are found here on UA-cam. Also I like the cop stash.
Will check that out!
i loved this
Brilliant
Insanely underrated. Gonna be great to see this channel grow and improve. Subbed.
🙏
I like how you put the chord number on screen as the music is playing in tne background. Great video!
Dude thanks ! I play ( self taught) seeing feeling colours the tech is only descriptive the way you deliver these colours of.that emotion cuts through way.cool
Wow! First 4 minutes..and I never heard anyone explain the nuance note characteristics and relationship that succinctly.
I am going to support this channel! Thanks Pur
Bro, your content quality is insane! ! I found a lot of gems for my music. Thanks a lot!
Super super super explanation Augustine violinist from Malaysia
Amped to play with concepts thanks!
This video is excellent! Thank you for sharing music from an emotional perspective! It feels as if for the first time someone speaks my language when it comes to music theory. I wish you made a course that teaches music theory from the very basics in this type of language. Once again, thank you!
Thank you for listening. I will consider this!
