This set of videos are some of the most beautiful and insightful explanations of music I have seen.
Thanks, Stuart!
Hear hear. I totally agree 👍
Throwing a hissy fit and packaging it up as "content" is pure gold. You do a real mean back-hander :p
Adding colors and patterns only makes it easy to understand by engaging more sense. It is a great way.
I really like what you're doing, and as a visual learner this perspective is very useful. Other people may learn and understand in different ways that may not find it as useful, or may even find it confusing. I like that you acknowledge that we all have different perspectives and there really is room for all of us to understand in our own individual ways. Keep up the great work
I just got into your videos yesterday and my mind is just exploding with understanding of what's happening now. Thank you so much for illuminating this. Really special.
I am 68 and have been playing guitar for 58 years. I suspected that the guitar was a mathematical instrument and theory in general was the same but never had the insights to put it into cogent form. You have presented, in logical form, what was spinning in my head. THANK YOU. I cannot wait to see all the videos in your series.
Very cool. Thank you for your feedback, Russell. I'm glad this helps -- and much more to come.🤘
I have been going through your videos nonstop. With your paradigm shift, in just 24 hours, I have found the answers to all the questions that I have been accumulating “in geometric progression” 😉 as I went through the channels of others, for months, trying to learn music theory. They seem to obscure it on purpose. Some make you listen them play a whole song before they start storytelling without substance. You are the real thing; your abstraction is brilliant. Do not listen to the others, keep the good work. I ‘d like some day to be able to create compositions as stunning as Stairway to Heaven and Funeral for a Friend.
Don't let anyone discourage you...your videos enhance understanding of music theory!
Did any of your detractors ever play with a "Spirograph" when they were kids? ....(and drew cool shapes and designs like the ones presented in your videos)?
These diagrams visualise the relationship between various note intervals and his use of the colour palette to reiterate this is brilliant for students at any stage
I think one of the major things to remember is that everyone learns differently. I think those of us that found value in it really cherish it because it's a new way of visualizing, old notation etc. Each of us learns in a different way and for some of his, this won't ever make sense. But for those of us that do this is great!
Thank you for sharing this
Man, I can totally relate. For the longest time I was just simply satisfied with breathing. Breathing in, breathing out; I'd do it all the time and it was great. Then some dude came along and told me about air and I was like, "Bro, what is this 'science' stuff? I'm just trying to breathe over hear. Are you telling me that I need to know about Nitrogen, Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, and whatever just to breathe, lol? Stop ruining life for me!!!"
Yes. Not knowing the details of a subject can be totally fine and even great. But then also knowing the details of that subject can be awesome. :)
First of all, this channel is definitely way too underrated!! Keep it going bro, you deserve big attention!
Music is based on patterns, rhythmic patters, harmonic patterns, frequency patterns, and all of this can be used as tools to take control of what you're doing with music. For example, all the intervals are mathematical ratios, and the simpler the ratios, the better the intervals sound (octave 1:2 vs minior second 15:16). symmetrical patterns like diminished chords, augmented chords, wholetone scale, half-whole and whole-half scales etc, are like portals without a center, where you can go through to everywhere you want. if you call it geometry or whatever doesn't matter, if somebody dismisses the incredibly helpful concepts of patterns, of shifting these patterns around, and how much it can improve your skills and sound without too much to remember, then that's just being ignorant. i use stuff like this all the time with my music students, and they profit from it a looooot. and in the end, it's not that much stuff and not so complicated. if 8 year old children understand this and use it, everybody can!
it is not only necessarily just geometry it is more so on the patterns too! you are right there, but those who don't understand your method - by the way which I love - because it is exactly what I've been doing the last 2 years is- visualizing it and coloring it on Adobe Illustrator !!! THANK YOU :)
Bro don't let the haters bother you. I discovered the math connection by accident thirty years ago when I first discovered the modes I can't sight read but I was a professional musician in my youth . I started playing the modes down the neck and I was shocked to see it was a math formula I was telling everyone I came across some understood what I was saying some didn't but I was amazed it was a conveyor belt of patterns or formulas whatever you prefer. I just couldn't articulate it well. But I knew what I meant start at G Ionian Dorian so on so forth you wil see it. Good for you brother. Keep doing what you're doing. Your one of the most innovative original music educators out there right now. Package it and sell it. Good luck and GOD BLESS 😊😊
Here's an interesting pattern: I click on video because I'm interested to learn more. I watch the video. I don't get it right away. But instead of going over it until I understand the content, I blame the content and the content creator for my confusion. In fact I'm so mad that someone offered thought-provoking challenging material that I don't instantly get, I have to post a negative comment. (Shakes fist at sky) "Don't. Make. Me. Think!"
Oy vey. I love how you've connected these patterns to color and geometry. The patterns are there, and you've made it easier for me to digest theory. Music is patterns and variations on patterns. Thanks for all your work, Mike George! I want charts of all this for my wall. Those stickers are cool, too.
Fascinating. I almost feel privileged that not everyone gets it. I definitely haven't wrapped my head around everything, but, you have started me on a path of understanding.
The same thing happens with some art school students. They think academic art, assignments meant to develop their skills, are stifling to their creativity. Well, then why go to art school? So you can argue with professors/instructors? These people invariably can't draw and have confused sloppiness for style.
Theory's already a complicated topic to most people, add the colors and shapes and some are going to give up before they start. The colors and shapes appeal to me as an artist and I can see them being useful intuitively once you you start understanding the system more deeply.
Well said. Knowledge is power! I'm glad this is helpful. 🤘
Amazing stuff, Mike! Your teaching method totally resonates with me. Thanks for making these videos... keep it up!
Thank you for making this series. I liked the holy trinity part a lot. I don’t know color theory past secondary. I still found lots of helpful information in this series when it comes to understanding the fretboard. You talked at one point about taking away the numbers and letters all together like training wheels, but aren’t the colors stationary just like the note names? I mean a rectangular red is always C which has different functions in different keys. Maybe you’re course will clear that up? I’m a bass player and you came up in my feed because I’ve been researching fretboard mapping lately.
I thoroughly enjoy and appreciate your explanations. I love that you took the time to answer the questions in person. good on you xx
As an artist and musician and someone who is interested in math I find it all very true and strange . But I understand it all in small ways. Also vibration .. in the beginning was the word . We are sound . We are vibrations solidified
Somehow ,I’ve thought about this too. Mind blowing but comforting.
You're doing a great job! I appreciate all of your work here. It's very helpful for someone who could never understand music theory to untangle it and see how all these patterns are basically all in one area. People seem very sensitive about the rigid way that they learned it and put the emotion into comments rather than music. So don't worry about any of those people, you're doing great.
It’s all useful. Thank you. Could you do a video on tonnetz (i think I’m spelling that correctly). I’ve been exploring the tonnetz as a tool and it’s also an interesting rabbit hole of insight.
This is a really good idea.
Definitivamente me encanta todo! El humor, la forma de enseñar, la foma de simplificar y permitir que la teoría musical sea mas sencilla. 10/10
In my opinion, all your videos make the music theory more understandable and easy to process. I've been practice more than the first time I got my instrument xD. This knowledge is pure gold! (I love the colors, the patterns, the geometry!!!)
Your videos have really opened up my knowledge of the Circle of Fifths, and much more. I'm sorry that some have found otherwise. I feel that it's both easy and difficult to learn so much material. However, this perspective is very educational and my new preferred learning method.
Very cool! I have been on this path for a while now, and it is very fascinating. You might want to check out Neuroplasticity. Simply the brain starts to wire up itself with the information that it is given. So in music practice and repetition the brain actually builds this new network of connections of visual, motor, and aural. So one day you are working on something musical and you just can’t get your brain and hands to get it to work, then the next day you come back and you can do it much easier. The brain is wiring itself for the input you keep inputting into it. Keep up the good work!
Your ability to explain things is astounding
"Without deviation from the norm,progress is not possible"F.Zappa..I get it...Have you seen the "Harmonic Code" episode of Ancient Aliens,it is worth the time,even if your not into aliens..the mandalas that were made with simple pitches was incredible higher being more complex than lower pitches..I see your pythagoras clip,,haven't watched but will this evening.This is fantastic what you are doing.Thank You
Very cool - thank you! The Zappa quote is spot on. I’ll need to check out that episode. 🤘
Your videos are a great help and nerd food for the 🧠 don't ever change! Pythagoras is shaking his head at the limited mindset of those who are complaining about math in music. Mathematician, magician and musician 🔺️✌️❤️✨️
Honestly genius, thank you for sharing these music theory ideas
Very cool, Joe -- I'm glad this is helpful! 🤘
(Engineering dude who doesn’t play an instrument or can read music notation) sees this video and other videos of yours on the subject…wow! Really cool!
As a visual learner I too benefitted from your modes diagrams, those along with your real world song performances really helped demystify the subject and I'm looking forward to practicing modes a bite at a time. Getting my ear attuned and fingers trained to find these new patterns on guitar, no quick fix possible but a clearer overview is encouraging. What modes beyond the major and minor should I tackle first?
I can understand what some are moaning about, like the circle of fifths. This was devised as a quick reference tool, a useful aide-memoire. Ok music is geometric, it's intriguing but showing every possible interconnection across the circle is impressive (fortunately three fours equal twelve) but for many learners its ott, just intimidating. You can't use every connection freeform. Possibly some genius of atonal music? :)
These beautifully coloured, designed and animated diagrams obviously took hours to draw. So maybe a quick visual to show how the circle is built, then show how to use it and some useful patterns to help find borrowed chords, secondary dominants and such, (is that even possible)? I note there are few ads so this is not click-bait, it's sincere and that's good to see. Just please keep it quick and concise, we ain't getting any younger. Otherwise, seriously well done, kudos and thanks again.
I'm fascinated with color and geometry. I love to watch the shapes evolve as you explain theory. My heart soars!!! Thank you for all your hard work.
He estado investigando desde hace un tiempo y pensaba en aportar con algo que quizás ayude a comprender las implicaciones de integrar la geometría y el color en la teoría musical... De acuerdo a nuestras investigaciones, por ejemplo, si emparejamos el centro tonal de una escala con el color verde (ej. C/Verde), obtenemos una escala emocional de color, donde el verde corresponde a la característica más conservadora y brillante de la escala musical y a medida que se rota a través del círculo de quintas, se ve cómo la tensión aumenta hasta encontrar y corresponder con el color rojo en las escalas más intensas y regresar al verde volviendo al centro de gravedad, si emparejamos si buscamos una "rueda de emociones" y emparejamos por ejemplo la ira con el color rojo podemos obtener también una correspondencia con los cambios emocionales, con los de la escala así como con los colores, esto abre un campo creativo para utilizar estas correspondencias,.. Tomemos una tríada de colores, y veamos que acorde construye y coincidentemente (respecto a la rueda de emociones) hay una correlación entre los opuestos complementarios de las emociones, así como una situación no tiene emociones absolutas, y el comportamiento varía a veces de forma repentina entre estados emocionales, así mismo se puede apreciar de forma didáctica y gráfica, como suceden estos cambios emocionales a nivel musical con la utilización de la geometría en el círculo de quintas, este fenómeno es muy difícil de apreciar en la notación musical tradicional en pentagrama. En experimentos con mi compañía de teatro y nuestros músicos, hemos utilizado únicamente formas geométricas para guiar a las secciones del grupo en escena y en tiempo real, los actores fácilmente deducen el conjunto de emociones que tienen a su disposición, los bailarines pueden visualmente tener una referencia de qué tipo de movimiento deben realizar, y los músicos simultáneamente comprendían la escala y progresión de acordes que debían seguir, incluso el técnico de sonido podía tener un esquema de luz adecuado para reaccionar en el momento... Así nosotros logramos comprobar la interrelación estrecha que hay entre Sonido, Luz y Movimiento. (Por supuesto, puedo estar equivocado o no haber utilizado algunos términos correctamente, ya que no soy músico de profesión, sino Director de Teatro)
Muy buen trabajo y felicidades.
¡La investigación que estás haciendo y la aplicación de estas ideas en el escenario es muy interesante!
music can start any key and could go to anywhere. color represent emotions. simple explanation.
I loved geometry, and I love your geometry of music video. A novice guitarist at 67, geometry helps me link what I do naturally with voice, to finding my way around an external instrument. Thanks for the lessons!
Very cool -- I'm glad this helps!
Awesome videos man. Don’t listen to these people. The truth is the truth. Music fallows natural order. I do understand how this could be intimidating to some people. Also you can experiment outside of this paradigm and there is nothing wrong with that.
Definitely! 🤘
People who are not open minded enough to accept that there are other approaches available are simply that.... closed minded beings. I know that no one is obliged to accept or agree to any certain approach or method, but that being said, some of the comments on your video trying to diminish the value of it just because they do not understand it, or do not want to understand it, and trying to make it look like the problem is the approach itself is simply ridiculous. In my case after watching your video, you just got me as a new subscriber. Thanks for what you do and bringing interesting topics very different to what everybody else is doing. Amazing, and refreshing to say the least!!!
Thank you, Jose! I’m so glad you’re here. Music is such a beautiful thing. The more people who can “access” it the better, I think.
Seems the triggered one are the old teachers, the big artist keep that for them for hundred of years !!
Others are making the point already, I expect, but it seems worth repeating maybe that it’s sort of funny to say that thinking of music geometrically is a departure from tradition when this really is just the tradition, isn’t it, in quite ancient form. Conventions in music instruction have evolved (especially in the last century or so?) in ways that tend to obscure it perhaps. But these are old, old insights which we simply resurface in various ways as approaches to and experience of the art change and we’re brought back around, sooner or later, to proportion and relation as essential ‘science,’ in a now somewhat archaic understanding of the word.
Definitely! So well said. These patterns and relationships pre-date "traditional" methods of the Middle Ages, etc.
Yeah, I’m not saying anything you’re not already getting at in your videos here, I realize now that I’ve started becoming a bit better acquainted with the channel. Looking forward to more!
Hey Mike, you're terrific!!! Ive been watching other videos and trying to get a grip on theory with no luck and a lot of frustration. Then I watched your videos and finally its all making sense now. You're very good at explaining and a unique way of the color presentation which really works for me.. Its perfect.... thank you!!!
Love the way you use math in teaching, i thought how music was linked to math some years ago but i could not find it out very clear and now here you're making my dream true. music is science and it's going to be easy for coz I'm scientist
Awesome videos, man. Thank you and please keep instructing.
I’m just learning music and I found this visually helpful
Awesome!
I don't know yet whether this is going to be really helpful. It is certainly a different way of looking at theory and it is what I'm looking for as I'm just starting out and anything that helps to make better sense of things and has a practical application is ultimately going to be a good thing from my POV. You definitely have me interested for sure.
Awesome-thanks for your feedback, Mark. Lots more to come. 🤘
Pat Martino has TrueFire course where he uses the triangle and the square to explain augmented and diminished chords. I find this to be a good way to create a kind of memory peg for these relationships. Thanks for posting
Your amazing, i love this channel. I've been wishing for this paradigm shift, ahhh can't wait to wake up early and get into this stuff! Thank you so much for following your bliss.
I'm so glad you're here, Nathanael and that this all is helpful stuff. You're feedback is also inspiring.🤘
@@mikegeorge360 Hell Yeah!
Clearly and surely there are different learning styles. I think if you’ve already had some level of traditional music theory training this makes it easier and clearer to understand by connecting it to geometry of shapes and patterns and colors.
Visually this makes it easier to understand beyond the simple monotony of memorization of notes and scales, especially for anyone who is neurodivergent.
Most are just projecting their fears or traumas from past math angst and complex egos.
It’s a very simplified framework that just so happens to be different to their biased approaches of learning or what they already know or think they know.
I.E. it’s hard to get people to change who are fixed and dead set on one way or the right way of doing things or my way is the best way, when they are literally multiple ways to get there. And this applies to many, many circumstances.
As a classically trained pianist, I appreciate this approach. I did well in music theory the traditional way, but this likely could’ve have helped me a lot more with ear training years ago while at a college conservatory.
I imagine hearing chord progressions and being able to visualize that in shapes and colors may have helped train my ear better as someone who could not play well by ear like those with the natural capability. Guess I can retrain with this in mind. So thank you‼️
You’re on the right side of history on this debate. There will always be campfire strummers stuck on their cowboy chords, and that’s fine for them. But to really take your music to the next level, theory can open up a WORLD of possibilities. I feel bad for people too stubborn to learn it because they don’t know what they don’t know. Maybe they memorize some barre chords but have no idea why that shape is what it is or how to think through inversions. Anyway, keep up the good work. You’ll never please everyone. 🙏
Personally, I love this channel. Excellent way to explain a complicated concept. Keep up the good work.
And some....
There are many ways to deliver knowledge. I like your innovative approach which is a great help for me. Keep up the great work.
Hi Mike
I have been trying to understand music theory for long time. After watching your videos. I get a little understanding about the music theory a little bit. Thank you
You are good.
Mike your explanation and tonnetz, a color, shape and geometry based explanation of music is the only way I can understand music, it resonates with me on deep level. Unlike the traditional score and arbitrary terminology around it, which maybe helps an interpreter, but does not facilitate a composer or a person who really wants to understand what the heck is going on. Thanks!
Great series. But if you were to represent (let´s say) C major in the geometric pattern, you will find a very irregular shape, but if you represent it in a simple pentagram you will see a very straightforward line, which represents more accurately the "linear" nature of the major scale. I think the geometric approach is beautiful and fantastic, and opens up endless possibilities, but disregarding the traditional notation... I don´t know. Just a thoguht! Your views and explanations are very original and usseful!!!!!
Thanks for your feedback, and I'm glad this helps! Music notation can definitely be useful too, but later in the process -- after one has already learned music theory. As an introduction to theory, I've seen notation cause more confusion than clarity.
Soy nuevo en el canal....esto es excelente, genial. Muchas gracias por este gran aporte.
¡Maravilloso, estoy tan contento de que estés aquí!
Love all these videos. Thank you for sharing 🙏
Clearly those who commented negatively while crying about math do so out of ignorance to the point that their comments are basically without merit. Ignore them. Great videos and perspectives.
Thank you for your feedback!
Yo recién supe de tu canal porque apareció de la "nada". Para mí está genial. Además de músico, yo también soy matemático y físico (profesión). Ya bajé tus videos para estudiarlos. Me interesa también el tema de simetría en la música, así como su compañera la asimetría. Por mi, sigue este camino que nos estás compartiendo. Te agradezco y te felicito por tu trabajo y tu canal. P. D. Yo uso mucho el color y tengo mi propio código, así como la regularidad geométrica. Por eso me gusta mucho tu aportación. Saludos cordiales desde México..!!!
¡Excelente! Gracias, Alejandro. La teoría musical es algo tan hermoso. Aprecio sus comentarios y es genial escuchar sobre su trabajo. ¡Estoy muy contento de que estés aquí!
Some people want music to remain a mysterious form of magic, and it is, but I think it's fun to understand how things work. You can make your magick more efficiently that way. Love your videos.
I subscribed after one video. Such good work, thanks
Stay curious!!! Awesome man, thanks a lot! 😃🧠
You are the best teacher on music theory: PERIOD! Knowing music theory was the secret skill that made me an advanced player, I would be no where without it.
Essential fundamentals for anyone serious about composing and song writing. The basic use of geometry and colour help map note chord progressions . Very useful tool /analogy.
I learnt playing scales from traditional score, arpeggios etc and memorizing building muscle memory and then improvising using my knowledge memory of chords progressions within keys etc. Your format is an invaluable accessible aid . Passion and Practice are still critical to develop on an instrument
Well, I've never understood it. Fact is I have zero musical talent, can't carry a beat in a bucket. Having said that, your diagrams carry much more information to me than music notation, which continues to elude me to this day. Years ago I bought a cheap guitar, not to make music, but to exercise my arthritic fingers. It's been good exercise but I am beginning to have a desire to learn enough about music to actually play it. I am slowly beginning to gain a little understanding and I plan to continue to learn as much as I can, but i do not expect to become a good player any time soon.🙂
Hey man,I just want to say,great work!!!! I agree that its about time to get rid of the old notation!!!!! Please do not stop what you are doing!!!Its needed!!! Thanks......
Thanks so much, Juan. The more of us who can access and really enjoy making music, the better! 🤘
I love this approach Keep it coming
You are great is always good to learn the right way of music
to me it is so much more clearer than 99.9% others on UA-cam, and simply the most concise method I've seen!!!
It would be great if there was some type of video practical practice exercise. On how to apply this concept on piano, guitar bass etc. Not to mention a physical moving diagram. Like the animated version of the circle of fifths you showed in your circle of fifths geometry video. Either way it would help musicians to know how to apply these theories on their instruments. Or at least to have some kind of chart they can follow to create their own exercises through 2-5-1 ect. Including all of the modes. We need to see that idea or the concept applied to the instrument. We need to have exercises so we can know how to adopt the concept into our own playing. From the basic level to an advance. Just talking about it doesn’t help as much. Although it is interesting
Check out my playlists. Tons of resources in the community as well that cover what you describe.
Excellent responses!
Thank you kindly!
Lmao i cracked up when you spun the star around into a pentagram😂😂
Thankyou 🎉 for your excellent explanations I love visual learning and this is wonderful😊 ❤ You have inspired me Sheila Duke 🎉
Regarding the diagrams,,,are the ones you showed in the video available on your
Locals or only one or two from the video? Thank you
Hey Danielle. Supporters in Locals can access all of the posts. There, you'll find the diagrams in this video, and literally thousands more. Part 1 of the course includes lots of detail (hours of video and lots of lessons). Parts 2 and 3 go into even further detail and application. If you decide to go that route, be sure to check out the playlists, which help you navigate the content. 🤘 And of course, you can ask me any questions.
Excellent presentation Mike. I worked out the same ideas with numbers. My system is called The Symmetric Music Matrix. A 12X12 grid. P.S. Are you familiar with Harmonic Materials of Modern Music by Howard Hanson?
Apparently this guy is super smart. He doesn’t even realize how confusing he sounds. That said,, I find it all very interesting. Theory is already tough enough without trying to figure out geometry. I wish there was more an emotional or simplified way to approach what he is explaining. Not all of us gravitate to geometry, complex geometrical shapes, Colors or mathematics. But I’m here to learn. So I will keep an open mind. I’ve always created music based on how I feel & how things sound in my head. Then manifest those ideas using instruments. All without Not knowing much about theory at all. But I am always trying to grow as an artist.
I think one of the reasons people don't like music theory is the way people are usually taught.
Its usually taught as a set of rules that need to be followed, when what it is supposed to be is a way of explaining music.
Its just like physics. Its a way of explaining the phenomenon that we experience. Its not something that we(necessarily) have to consciously use and think about.
I do have an issue with thinking about music as geometry. It only really works if you start with the circle of fifths. But there are so many other ways one could lay out the music. This isn't to say that its a bad way of looking at it, just that it's only one way. Just like saying that music is nothing but math.
Saying this assumes that math is a real thing, a set of rules that govern the universe, when it's nothing more than a means of explaining and measuring things.
Both are ways of seeing the world and music, that have value.
I apologize if I came across as argumentative, that was not my intention. I'm autistic and sometimes things don't come across the way I intend.
I find this pretty fascinating, and I do think 🤔 your on to something brilliant , smart 🤓 man ♂️😉
I like how you teach music in a different approach.
I thought music was only 5 lines and 4 spaces, being an engineer I feel this perspective gives a very good to remember and is picturistic
I made a graph with notes on the x and y axis with hopes of makes songs that make real nice shapes but I failed, can you attempt this soon? You could dim the lights and achieve my dream of a device that projects what you play
The guitar fretboard is basically a Cartesian coordinate system on steroids. Lots of nice shapes: ua-cam.com/video/WxAf3NgF4jk/v-deo.html
That pentagon is Pythagorean… if people inverted it’s meaning later on then that’s another topic. Don’t fear what you don’t understand!
Yeah, that was cringy.
Are the graphs available for download when you become a a supporter of your Locals community?
Yes.
Don’t worry. When the student is ready the teacher appears😊
Excellent work 💯🎼
Thanks!
This reminds me of playing pool. When I play pool I see lines. Know that I strike the ball with one angle it will cause the ball to go in another angle. I see triangles. We won’t get into putting English on the ball as that could be bending or vibrato. But weather people want to admit it geometry is everywhere in every day lifes.
"Stop ruining music for me with THINKING."
Some viewers will be better off finding a different style and approach to learning, and that’s fine. For the rest of us that love your channel, no explanation is necessary. We get it. That the theory of music has an analogy in visual diagrams and can be understood as a logical theory of simple mathematics is actually beautiful, as is most of creation. What you present is very well done and for the right students clear to understand. Nothing is for everyone.
Also I guess I should add that finger strength has never been an issue for me, my fingers are more than strong enough to fret even heavy strings although I use fairly light strings. Flexibility and accuracy are far more problematical, as my fingertips are so large that I frequently have problems with damping adjacent strings when chording.😁
dont listen to those losers man! aint worth the time! you are the best of the best on internet for music info! clean like glass! amazing contents!!!!
I got to be honest math was the one thing that I think held me back from learning music theory some years ago but I think people might misunderstand it, and I think if your gifted, like or was good enough at math then that part of music is more intresting to you, but my experince now is that it dident matter as much, since its often very basic, and also just use the 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 chord instead of using latin names or using gin and tonic of this chord is often simpler so I think maybe music theory sometimes was made (back in the day, like 1600 to pretend that it was more complex (in some cases) then it actually is, the same can be said about other intulectual things Iv found, if I say ``using latheral thinking```do you mean creative thinking? ok just say that, but I guess latin and other more complex uses of words is he ``standard`` way of saying thing so its something everyone can understand no matter were your learning music theory or whatever it is your learning, but still there is something to it, but the good thing with this and some other channels is that it describes ``why`` you learn something like why are we learning ``the circle of fifths`` etc which to me is the most important point, since I am always wondering why its like this and that and stuff and often creates the best motivation
Listen mate… Don’t waste your time justifying what you’re doing.
If people don’t resonate with you they have plenty more channels and other sources of information to choose from. Just keep doing what you’re doing.
You’re Fantastic and align with my way of thinking about this spectacular language …
This channel is criminally underrated.
No matter how much you know I think you can learn something here.
Visual artists didn’t always have the color wheel and color theory to help us understand how colors relate to each other. It had to be devised (first by Newton). Now it’s a fundamental part of an art education
People just get annoyed that music theory is not a step-by-step instruction guide to create music but rather a guide to writing it down. Music theory is observed after the fact, applied to music rather than music existing because of it.
You're right, I see what you're saying. From my experience, music theory, just like the scientific method, can be both descriptive and prescriptive.
@@mikegeorge360 Nothing seems to divide the musician family like the " do you need theory, does it matter " question. On the one side you have people who think theory is nothing but a constraint on their creativity , and on the other side we have people who think all music is rubbish unless it's consists of 17 key changes, modulations, 1000 chords and a time signature that wont sit still ( jazz musicians as they're more commonly known) 🤣🤣🤣
Music, by itself, is abstract. Theory is abstracted out if it, a abstraction of the abstract, so no wonder people find it hard to pin down. But its in that openess, the fact you can't pin it down, that all the wonderfull variations and genres of music can legitimately call themselves music.
Jeez, waffle. Anyway love the vids because if theory can be prescriptive like you say, its done by attacking in unique and different ways, which I think and hope is what you're trying to do here.
Again love the vids, keep it up.
Awesomeness, more please!
More to come!
You should discount the stickers/color markers for members
hey man i love your channel
music like cars some can ride very well with no knowledge about mechanic some others know mechanic but cant drive very well
and your channel like bridge between mechanic and ride
Stop ruining walking for me with physics!! GAHH!!!!!!!!! :P
That's hilarious! Yes.
I think for people who are very visual, this approach really works
Brilliant! ✨💖✨
I think you might be doing disservice to this method by arbitrarily rotating half of the circle to align it with chromatic scale.
You won't get simple geometric shapes this way, but you will show actual relations between fifths and fourths (reverse of the circle). Overtones are the basis for consonance so patterns in terms of fifths of fifths and fourths of fourths are more meaningful than patterns of steps and half-steps.
don't listen to these guys... Your class is amazing. even being a portuguese speaker i can understand your classes, the beauty of the internet is finding many different points of view on any subject and i like yours. These people should spend their time looking for another video that fits them instead of saying such nonsense. If even drawing they can't understand the theory, it's because the problem is with them, not you.
