In this video I am showing examples of songs that are played in opposite keys: major songs performed in minor, and vice versa. Also I am explaining how this works on the basis of the music theory needed to do it yourselves. Because this touches so many fields of expertise, it's a very good exercise to train yourself with!
For the ultimate comparison I made two Guitar Looping videos which are basically the same but for one *MAJOR* difference... One is in Major (Lightness), and one in Minor (called Darkness) Check them out!
Lightness (major): ua-cam.com/video/E330VWvKogc/v-deo.html
Darkness (minor): ua-cam.com/video/71kE4plte04/v-deo.html
Deez Notes!
Paul Davids i
Darkness wins. They're both awesome though.
Darkness. But you are amazing and so creative. You’re very inspiring.
Could you next time please say “Let's find out!!!“?
That’s a major difference
Guitarman ! Out. Now!
Or just a minor thing (and i'm a minor king)
+Spin the black circle He knows everything
I see what you did there!
... with minor effort!
straight up gansta shit at the end there. Good stuff.
I like how he apologized first lol!
More gangsta rap should be in major key!!
8:33 oh for fucks sake, wasnt expecting that
331 likes and no replies!!
I will do that for ya m8
Wonderful tonight in minor sounds amazing
I've always preferred the minor versions of songs. Thank you for these wonderful explanation.
For some reason major to minor transitions really well but not the other way around
IIFabNII except for mad world. That shit is almost sadder in a major key
You may get that feeling because deep down you like minor better ....
i agree, but maybe it's because it's done so suddenly, because i like the transformation from minor to major in czardas
Final countdown in major sounds even more 80's than before.
Major Final Countdown is incredible.
Minor Wonderful Tonight turned into a Radiohead song
Omfg it absolutely does something right out of ok computer
Yep, and Beatles turned into Jim Croce!
a happy radiohead song
Everything is instantly better in minor
Pmsl! Brilliant! \m/ (:o)
1:41 ho haaf ho ho haaf ho ho
Hahahahaha
It would sound too fast that rythm
...play it in 2X speed...it’s funnier
He became santa clause
Here Comes The Sun speaks to me in minor...its beautiful
It sort of sounds like Classical Gas by Mason Williams to me
Here comes the Sun in Minor is the most hauntingly beautiful thing I've ever heard.
Aadit Doshi You mean...There Goes the Sun?? ;)
Check Ghost's version of it.
Eric Hendrix "Sun sun sun there it goes"
I prefer the minors over the majors
Nate Cantu omfg that's the fucking joke
Lmfaooooo
Aaand now you're on a watchlist
So did Michael jackson
*police sirens*
Here comes the sun in minor suddenly turned into Radiohead song
Looks like every major song translated to minor becomes Radiohead or Linkin Park
Especially the arpeggio part at 7:39.
It reminds me of a song I can't quite put my finger on.
Reminds me of Sultans of Swing
@@k-leb4671 the ending part of hypnotize - system of a down
8:58 the amount of sorrow in your eyes makes me believe you meant the apology from the bottom of your heart.
Paul davids staring dead faced into the camera playing that keyboard over his shoulder is a new favourite thing of mine, funny paul
Fun fact: You can always remember the major scale intervals because they are like vanilla ice's Ice Ice Baby rhythm: whole whole half whole whole whole half... listen to the bass in the song and sing "whole whole half, whole whole whole half" ...and you will never forget
That last part cracked me up :') Nice video!
The best beard on youtube
fazeel ashraf what about Fluff?
PewDiePie ?
the best bread on youtube
you really are a superb teacher. I teach at university and I wish academic subjects were taught this well and engagingly
This is how a *MINOR* dchange can make a *MAJOR* difference.
7:24 should be called "Here Goes The Sun"
"Here comes the sun" in a minor key sounds amazing.
I'm in love with the minor songs 😍
So soothing and beautiful!
The last example you gave, it shows how Dre's pitch *EVEN WHILE RAPPING* keeps it strict to the minor key. Nice.
7:10 Here Comes the Rain. Almost made me cry...
Awesome and clear explanation, that's why I love your videos so much, get to the point, clear visual explanation, with well presented music, even tho I already know the knowledge from the video but I can always learn something from YOU, with admire and respect. Plz keep up these amazing video and lessons. Also lightness is more my taste right now☀️
That "Here comes the sun" change into minor sounds really good! Here comes the moon
1:44 "ho ho ho"
Don Vessi I was waiting for a "... Merry christmas!" 😂
I think memory bias plays a role here. if you're used to hear a song in minor it will sound ackward in major and vice versa...actually I think wonderful tonight in minor sounds great!
Agreed, but here comes the sun was sheer torture to hear in minor.
Corvette NO! I thought it was absolutely beautiful
cece86ita Possibly. But also artists tend to you know, pick what sounds best for their song
i mean he pretty much says this in the video if u were fucking paying attention
Everything sounds better in minor.
I love Darkness! It helps me sleep sometimes!
And you are great Paul! You helped me understand a lot. So thank you!
7:12 this song in minor is just fabulous))
Note that in the 'Here comes the sun'-example a different minor scale was used from the one he showed. In his explanation there was a flat 7th; in this particular example he used a normal 7th. That means that from 6th to 7th there is a rather large gap between the tones. This feels even uneasier and is therefore very effective. The scale is called harmonic minor.
Yep, used the same for Wonderful Tonight. Often the V chord in minor really wants to be major making the scale harmonic minor.
I like how here comes the sun sounds!! It sounds very dramatic
This was soooo good! I’m going to share with my students! I loved the examples in the end! Thank you for this!
I loved the Clapton minor version!
Loving the explanation.. Got to "Wonderful Tonight" and got sidetracked looking it up, just so that I could listen to it. Again.
This video really helped me understand chords better, i realized how the second chord sounded diminished after watching this. Thanks.
Here comes the rain sounds so creepy in minor :O
Christian Lopez check out the GHOST cover of that song. Its kinda same :D
The Cruxshadows did a good version too! :)
Also, I love Ghost ♥
Oops! I read it as here comes the rain - yes, the cruxshadows have done that song - but Ghost have done 'here comes the sun' - their version is very blissed out I feel
I've been playing for many years. Always heard the difference, but this side by side example is brilliant. I learned a lot. Nice job.
Man, I love your videos. You explain everything so well. Great lesson.
I feel like I prefer one over the other depending on the melody played, really it depends on the melody for me. For me some of the melodies you played sound better in minor, other sound better in major, and sometimes it feels both versions of the same melody sound equally nice, juste like darkness and lightness
"Here comes the sun" turned into "here comes apocalypse".
What I like most is when a song goes from a minor motif to a major ,,,,Listen to some of Jethro Tulls early recordings...with Ian Anderson on acoustic....he was the master of minor to major chord progressions
I can’t be the only one who need a full version of wonderful tonight in the minor key
The end is just amazing..
Popcorn sounds great in major. Like your use of chords in the background as well.
Great NOW i can convery all these happy songs over to minor keys and play my deeply depressing harmonica licks all day long. You've made me very happy, thanks!
Dude, wonderful tonight sounds awesome in a minor key!!
So happy to see that you're also a big shaq fan. SKRRRR POP POP
that was really informative and cool. i have a huge preference for minor songs, to the point where i even consider minor versions of popular major songs to sound much better. i suppose it just suits my aesthetic more.
You're an awesome teacher Paul!
I love you man. Laughed my ass off. That intense eye contact during that last bit.
This video was just perfect! Explanations (very clear), different examples, and Man’s not hot
Thank you for the effort you've put into this! It's brilliant.
Brown Eyed Girl in Minor sounded like a tune that would be in Super Mario Bros., or some other 80's video game.
You're the man! Love how you're always playing a Telecaster. My fav
What was that instrument at the beginning? Was that just a really cool guitar?
glowsticksuit it was a jamstik
The best major to minor conversion I've heard is Every Breath You Take by The Police, and the best minor to major conversion is Final Countdown by Europe
Hahaha that Ending man. Your gaze caught me off guard. I couldn't hold it back and laughed out so loud that my girlfriend thought I was crazy.
I do this like every year to Christmas songs around the holidays and play them in Minor on the piano and make them Halloween songs essentially. Family always gets a kick out of it lol
I’d love to hear Wonderful Tonight in its entirety in minor.
Wonderful Tonight in minor key sounds so much better.
If you want to hear a vocalist do this look up Chase Hoefelder.
Final part was awesome
Wonderful tonight in minor hit me in the feels.
This video was insanely helpful!! Thank you so much
Oh man, the keyboard at the end was so good hahahaha. Great work brother.
Great, great lesson, thanks! It's been sometime since I'd like to study this melodic change between major and minor keys.
One I know of is Bruce Springsteen's The Rising. The studio version is in E minor but live he plays it in C major. Both are great versions though.
Awesome!
Seth Everman ist going to be happy about that last one... :D
Ignoring the title a little, this video is a fantastic theory basic lesson that most musicians should know.
Thanks for yet another awesomely entertaining AND educative video!
just did this to Shelter from the Storm sounds cool thank you so much for a new idea
Man, my compliments! You are a fantastic musician and your way of explaining things is great. Keep on doing so! Thx a lot. - and minor always sounds more musical than major-
You are pure gold
How about transposing to other modes ? that would be interesting to hear
That face on 0:14! Haha, made my day
I thought it's gonna be only songs. I was surprised by the theory
That first little tune went from a classical piece to a summer dance anthem in the space of a few seconds 😂😂
Thanks for the clear minor-major explanation! Great summary, so I’m keeping this as a cheat sheet. Daag!
I think that could actually be a song writing technique, writing it in major, using techniques as if it were to be a major sounding song, then making it all minor. Because some of the songs here played in minor sound beautiful, sometimes better in my opinion (not always but some are certainly intriguing).
absolutely love your videos and your way of teaching !
This is my favourite UA-cam Channel!
Thanks Paul, you're awesome.
Awesome video, as always!
For your looping videos, I liked them both equally!
one of the best videos on this topic
Wondeful tonight was awesome!!!
Great as always, man. Cheers from Brazil :)
You are the best guitarist on yt who can explain the whole mysterious theory!! :D Thank you so much!! :D
Such quality content, so impressed by how much work he puts into his videos.
I love that "Horrendlus tonigh" !!!!!
Very well done!
That is so awesome.
I also liked Here Comes the Sun in minor too.
So in this vid, I liked the lightness and darkness versions of Wonderful/Horrendous Tonight (ROFL), and Here Comes The Sun
Sheesh why can't I like this more than once
The opening theme for Stranger Things is an arpeggiated E minor 6th chord, not a C Major 7th chord, even though the notes are similar. The tonality and key is E minor, not C Major. Huge difference.
I just read one of Mozart’s variations of twinkle twinkle he played minor
I teach all my students some of these same things. Good work.
