    I'm a drummer but every now and again I go through a music theory/piano phase and this made me understand what a diminished and augmented chord was just listening along. You have a great way of explaining things to somebody with little understanding without coming off condescending. You've given me a dozen "a-ha!" moments where it magically clicked. Thank you so much.

    me: ok that sounded like an Fmajor
    "So most of you prob. Knew, but the first was a Fminor"
    Me: DAMMIT!

    Very informative. I would of suggested to play it arpeggiated too, in that way the viewers/listeners could identify it by its intervals.

      remember to be realistic - you will need to do a bit of work whichever system you choose for learning to play piano I have spent months researching into different systems and found an awesome website at Denelle piano lesson (google it if you're interested)

    Back in high school, the teacher used 4 simple descriptions for the 4 chords:
    Major - happy, minor - sad, augmented - strange & diminished - odd.
    When it comes to running the notes of a chord, the slow movement from the Haydn Surprise Symphony #94 comes to mind. The top part starts with the notes of the C major chord C, E & G in repetition: CC EE GG long E follow by FF DD BB long G. The middle part of the piece starts with the notes of the C minor chord C, Eb & G in repetition: CC EbEb GG long Eb follow by the same FF DD BB long G sequence. The only note that changed was the E to Eb. You basically flatten the 3rd note (middle note) in the sequence by a semi-tone to change from major to minor.

      dominant 7th is when the first three notes is a major chord and then add major 7th . A C# E and G

    OK, I'll give you this for the root forms. But this is only 1/3 of the primary chords in a musician's arsenal (not counting 7 chords, 9 chords, etc.) How can we tell the difference between different inversions of the same chord? ( i.e. Cmaj 1st inversion (C/G))

      you need to have a naturally good ear to tell the difference right away, you might need to develop better hearing for this method but this is far faster than counting the interwals

    • @varsha7602
      @varsha7602 6 років тому +3

      The letters A to G represent the 7 notes found in the C major scale. "Do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-si" is translatable to any key; in this case he is using the C major key which is C-D-E-F-G-A-B, where: C = do, D = re, E = mi, F = fa, G = sol, A = la, and B = si.
      If you search up "piano with letters" on google images you can find "middle C" and the white keys following it will be D, E, F, G, A, and B, after which the cycle of letters on the white keys will start over again. I'm sure there is also a UA-cam video out there where they play the C major scale on the piano, so you can see what it sounds like as well. (It will most likely sound like your do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-si, unless for some reason your country doesn't use C major as the standard.) If you have a piano that you can use, try it out for yourself too!
