      @@ruslanshadaev2293 because she taught as if the only ways to have a chord progression is through 5-1 perfect cadences within their respective intervals, how she said G has to go to C, C has to go to F, F has to go to B flat, etc etc. These can be useful for the ends of a phrase and for modulations, but if you ONLY use them like how she says in the video then you lock yourself into a cycle of 5ths chord progression which you definitely don’t want. In reality, you can go from any chord you can think of to any other chord you can think of as long as you know how to do it tastefully. Some of the best music of all time has the weirdest chord progressions but the harmony all ties it together and makes it sound perfect. Rachmaninoff’s music is a perfect example of this especially the second half of the adagio movement of his second symphony.

      I think because people today want to appear "intellectual" and such and use all the "jargon" and "buzzwords" and such to appear smart. This lady has the courage to be simple and straight forward. Music theory like she presents is approachable. Most get off on tangents and such. It's almost like the theory becomes more important than the song itself. I have a simple way of always asking myself "yea but do you like the music/song" when confronted with all the razzle dazzle of theory nerds. This lady is very cool.

    Here's something to note... This is the "likely" progression of chords, which is useful to those who are sight-reading. If you're a composer, this is a useful guide, but this is not the law of music. Use your ears and do whatever sounds good.

    Amazingly done, really special lesson (simplicity is so powerful).
    Of course music theory is a bit more complicated. Progression chords in the traditional harmony works like this:
    - I can be followed by whatever;
    - II can be followed by V, III, IV, VI, VII
    - III can be followed by VI, IV, II, V;
    - IV can be followed by V, I, VI, II, VII, III;
    - V can be followed by I, VI, III, IV;
    - VI can be followed by II, V, IV, III;
    - VII can be followed by I, VI, III, V.
    Try those chords progression out and you'll see what they sound.
    The reason those chords are linked this way is due to research made in past years based on acoustic, aestetic and phycological experiences.

    I love the way this lady teaches. It is so practical! So honest and so real. I studied music theory in hight school and college. I have 3 music degrees ending with a Ph.D. in musicology but nowhere was this practical and useful chord progression technique explained. We were too busy learning Schenkarian analysis. Who cares about the "abstract deep structure" of the music. I would just like to play at song a party. My brother often kids me by introducing me with "This is my brother. He is a doctor but not the kind that helps people." Even in music I am not that helpful when someone asks "can you play a song for us" and I have to say, "Sorry, I don't have my music with me." Karen is a gem and as I near retirement I am going to work on her instruction and try to have some FUN with all the musical knowledge I am supposed to have. God bless her!

    It's good way at first. but I hope you understand more clearly.
    1. the fundamental chords are I, IV, V(1, 4, 5)
    and we can go to,
    a. 1 to 1, 1 to 4, 1 to 5
    b. 4 to 1, 4 to 4, 4 to 5
    c. 5 to 1, 5 to 4, 5 to 5
    2. we can substitute 1, 4, 5 chords to other chords.
    a. Ⅰ is Tonic(T) => 3, 6
    b. IV is Sub dominant(S) => 2
    c. V is Dominant(D) => 3, 7
    3. let's sum up. we can go to
    a. 1 to T(1, 3, 6), 1 to S(4, 2), 1 to D(5, 3, 7)
    b. 4 to T(1, 3, 6), 4 to S(4, 2), 4 to D(5, 3, 7)
    c. 5 to T(1, 3, 6), 5 to S(4, 2), 5 to D(5, 3, 7)
    if I choose 1-4-5-1 = T-S-D-T,
    we can change to,
    T(1, 3, 6) to S(2, 4) to D(3, 5, 7) to T(1, 3, 6)
    - 1453, 1456
    - 1251, 1253, 1256
    - 6451, 6453, 6456
    and so on...
    this is basic of basic.
    you can use modal interchange and secondary dominant techniques.

      Thank you. I thought i was going crazy when NONE of the songs i was playing followed these rules?? 🙈
      I'm guessing this video is just a basic. . . This is a simple and effective way to arrange chords that are pleasing to the ear?
      Or does her method work most of the time? I'm still a bit confused.
      I play by ear and can play quite well. However this is me at the age of 34 JUST trying to learn some basic theory and my head is exploding.
      Any advice? 💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

    • @Mulberry2000
      @Mulberry2000 3 роки тому

      Teaching this lesson to people to learn a song is a DAMN TERRIBLE IDEA. I get why the notes make up a chord, ie C G F by always looking to the left the note and then the right. That is simple enough but adding 2 or 4 or 6 etc is a mess. The best way is to use the 1 3 5, or 1 4 5, method. The lesson on the minors is illogical, not LOGICAL. Teachers always go too fast and bore the hell out of the majority of the class, always responding to the big mouths who get the answers right thinking the class knows it. They do not and that defeats the purpose of the lesson.

  • @BillyReedMusic

      D Byrd Me to, how awesome was that, to actually see something your brain takes for granted actually given a visual & verbal explanation. I still don't even really understand it fully, but the fact what some of us do naturally has such a technical aspect to it is pretty darn cool to see its explainable (kinda) still gotta work out why we can play by ear lol.

    I played all my chords naturally because my teacher drills the chord into me, so usually, I will play the chords required by heart. But the lady in the video explains it all as I never understood the theory of playing the organ when I was in school. I have a better idea with her reasoning, it is more understandable and logical to me now. I learned something new after all these years. Lol.
