    4:50 Why does it work?
    6:24 Example 1
    8:36 Example 2
    11:14 Soloing
    12:18 Minor scales
    13:42 Example 3
    14:26 The John Williams Connection
    This is a video about how some scale degrees are more powerful than others. The root and the fifth, specifically, fit in with almost any chord progression you can come up with, and are great ways to build very forceful melodies! I'll demonstrate this using multiple examples, both major and minor. As a bonus, at the end of the video I'll point out how the root and fifth act as great openers for several John Williams themes. Enjoy!
    (Damn it, the thumbnail would have been so much better if this was a video about fourths)

    As much as I enjoy your videos and learn from them, in the back of my mind is knowing the cat will turn up and make a sound at some point. Bonus!

    Great content as always! Easy to understand even for complete beginners like me. At least as long as you're familiar with concepts of scales and basic music theory. Keep it up! 👊

      Practice a bit every day and you will improve. It's that simple.

    Does this work with all the modes too?

    • @MangoldProject
      @MangoldProject  10 місяців тому

      It should, although I'm missing a bit of context to the question.

      @@MangoldProject Well, if I would do this exercice in for example F Phrygian, would the root and the fifth still sound good with any chord progression? I will just try, thanks for the reply :)
