    hello, i've been dabbling with music for a long time but this side is still a mystery to me
    "My Boo - Key: F# minor
    VI - V - i - vii - iii" could anyone help explain what this the roman numerals represent?

    • @stefanguy
      @stefanguy  Рік тому +1

      So each major or minor key has 7 notes (or scale degrees, 1-7). We can number these notes 1-7 and subsequently each chord derived from that note. Now each chord in the key can be represented by a number. We do this so playing and learning chord progressions are not key dependent.
      How to read the roman numbers -
      Uppercase letters = a major chord, i.e C Major, lowercase letters = minor chord, i.e C Minor.
      So a ii - V - I in the key of Cmajor would be Dm - Gmaj - Cmaj.
      In the key of A major that same progressions would he Bm - Emaj - Amaj
      Hope this makes sense. They are other symbols to denote things like diminished and augmented chords but those are the basics.

      It’s a MIDI controller by Native Instruments called Komplete Kontrol MK2 (mark 2).. this one is a limited edition version and is why it is all white. They’ve also just announced the MK3
