If I told you that just by adding one note (yup, a single note) to your melody you could make it 100% more emotional, would you believe me? Well, you don't have to believe me! You can just watch the first few seconds of this video and make up your own mind!

Do you know of any song that uses appoggiatura? I bet you do! Post the title here.
"Moon River" does it quite noticable, doesn't it?
I am not sure but Final Fantasy VII main theme sounded like the beginning of one of your examples.
moon river
I believe it's used in Bohemian Rhapsody in a couple spots...thanks Tommaso, good video!
The Beatles used it extensively eg We Can Work it Out.
Excellent tutorial. A model of clarity.
Fun fact: Jimmy Page was a session player on Gold Finger. Excellent Italian pronounciation/theory lesson, good sir.
I didn't know that! Thanks.
I'd call the "Moon River" trick. 8-) Glad to learn a name for this pattern; thanks! -Tom
The Goldfinger clip was a stroke of genius. I could see I'd watched this video before, but had forgotten the concept. (That awkward name...) INSTANTLY remembered in the first two seconds bc of that clip. Thanks!
All glory to the white board lessons! I'm glad they are back.
Excellent video. I love this idea. I also love the whiteboard lessons. Makes it much easier for me to follow!
Your last example sounded a bit like Moon River! Very helpful video - grazie mille. By the way, since I started learning Italian, I can't say "arpeggio" the same way as other English speakers ... which is quite embarrassing.
Reminded me of several Uematsu tunes.
Indeed!
I'm going to use this in my song.
Thanks for the tip!
i love what you do you are amazing.
7:42 Moon River.....
You last example reminded me of the opening to “Johnny Angel” sung by Shelly Fabares (1961)
Nice.
Classic
"Ohh, I'm gettin' all emotional!" (Fat Bastard voice from Austin Powers)
It's true ! how strange it is to hear English-speaking people use Italian terms
to discuss music, especially in our comical accent!
Hearing greasy rockers discussing arpeggi , legato, rubato, is indeed startling!
Anyone else have "Moon River" in their head now?
When I get it right, you‘ll land on a sus2 or sus4 (depending on choice of tone) and resolve that suspension to the „natural“ chord tone there. Am I right? Where, then, is the difference between appoggiatura and suspension?
(There was no example with rising a perfect 5 to a 6, what about these? Well, after a quick experiment, that depends of the chords funcionality. Dosen’t seem to really work well with dominants, but requires further investigation.)
IIRC, a suspension would have used the chord tone from the previous chord and resolved down, rather than jumping up and then resolving down.
How do you call it when the melody goes down?
I've noticed James Lebrie does this in a lot of vocal melodies in Dream Theater songs. I never knew the technique had a name though.
Why on guitar only? This works on piano too... :)
So, nobody knows what you're saying when you talk about appoggiatura (because it can describe different things), you don't know what other people mean when they say it (because they butcher the pronunciation), and the solution is to call it a leaning tone (which makes sense, but isn't used), and hope nobody thinks you're saying leading tone (which sounds similar, is recognizable, but means something else).
As music theory terminology goes, this is pretty good.
It even gets worse for "Arpeggio". It hurts me everytime I hear the wrong pronounciation almost everyone seems to use. (Please make the "i" silent)
And it is difficult to come up with a paraphrase here. Ciao a tutti.
This is useful but not clear.
1:27 I'm always taken aback when foreigners are so appalled at English-speakers' terrible pronunciation of words in their language... It's as if they think they are speaking English without any trace of a foreign accent, and perfect diction like the Queen of England.
Jeez, get some self-awareness...
The thing is these foreigners at least took the time to learn English. Americans/British rarely bother to learn a foreign language, and what they do try to pronounce a foreign word, they butcher it.
@@foljs5858 It's the notion that they somehow think they speak English without a trace of an accent, that we are not having to strain to understand every word, and that they have a right to criticise English-speakers for *their* pronunciation. As someone who studied Arabic as an adult, I wouldn't presume to speak ill of a Jordanian's English pronunciation when I'm aware that my Arabic accent is far from that of a native speaker, it's just common sense and self-awareness.
Ooof dude, I said that in good humor. I see that on YT it's a free-for-all to comment on my accent / pronunciation. But let me mention ONE word that you guys mispronounce, and all the shields are up. Maybe we should go to the store and buy some self-awareness together ;-)
@@MusicTheoryForGuitar My observation is just that, an observation that foreigners with the thickest of accents are often blissfully unaware how they sound, and can make blithe judgements on the abysmal pronunciation of English-speakers attempting to speak their (or another) language. For instance, my Arab friend, with an almost impenetrable accent when speaking English, took great delight in slamming an English friend of ours for his terrible French accent.
It's just an odd quirk I've noticed in foreigners; you're not a bad person for it, I'm not judging...
@@WahrheitMachtFrei. I get at least one comment on my accent on every single video I make. Unaware? I wish! ;-)
