Hey Stephen! You don't know how much you made my day with your comment. And I had a good laugh about the bum part, haha. I am happy that you like it and that it is useful. I hope it will spark some creativity and inspiration!

Rock on :-) Thanks a lot for telling me! I really enjoyed making them as well. So it's great that they come across in a good way. Join the group if you like. I just started it, but it will be a place for all kinds of music content! Thanks for checking out the video :)

Thank you for telling me! Happy to hear that.

Yea!

You're most welcome! It's amazing to hear that these videos are still useful to people 😃 thank you for sharing this with me

Hey Cicero thanks a lot for your friendly comment and feedback. Comments like yours really make the work worth it! So thank you and I'm happy my video was useful. You also play guitar I assume from your comment? :-D By sharing a video/playlist you like or the channel you can already help the channel out a lot. So if you ever feel like it, then I would be very greatful. Cheers!

@@LearningMusicSkills Yes, I do play guitar :D (and "can" play other instruments as well haha). I loved the video, shared it with some friends who also play some music. Keep the great work!

Thx man! I appreciate it😃 next week a video about the mixolydian mode coming up!

Haha well you're welcome 😁!

Cheers Brad! You're welcome, I'm very glad to hear it.

Hey Stephen, thanks a lot for sharing this. It makes me happy to hear that!

Thanks a lot and thanks for watching! I really enjoyed making them.

Hey Ryan, I'm very glad to hear that. Chromatic mediants are fantastic for experimentation and finding your own sound. When you have some results be sure to share it with the people here!

You're welcome. They can sound quite magical right?

You're welcome Jeff! It's great for practically any style.

Any plan for using this (chromatic medians) in your music?

@@LearningMusicSkills my favourite genre is house, and I prefer making songs in the minor scale. But in this video I thought the major examples had a greater effect and seem easier to recognise… like at the end of a movie. So depending on the mood I think I could definitely fit it into a bridge or ending :) The minor scale would be a bit harder to practice and execute IMO, but maybe i’m wrong and it fits in almost anywhere…

@@danking1172 chromatic mediants are common in house. one example is like Em9-Gm9-Am9-D7

@@OKI-the-beep-boop I’ve not been paying enough attention 🥲

You are most welcome and thank you very much for your support! Thank you for sharing!

Thanks! And no actually I'm not but it sounds quite interesting. Do you have any link or book that you can recommend?

Thank a lot. Really great to hear!

Sorry for the late reply. I did not see your comment. Yes exactly! You've got it right. It's super easy and a lot of fun right?

@@LearningMusicSkills Awesome! It definitely spices up my chord progressions!

Thanks Chris, your answer sums it up very nicely! This is definitely the way to see it, when applying it in composing or improvising.

@@helgeschneider5423 Grüße gehen raus nach Mühlheim!

You're welcome 😀

You're most welcome 😃

Hey Xavier thanks a lot for watching and subscribing 😀 I'm glad you find the videos interesting! Unfortunately not all progressions make sense in the roman numeral system. But I will take your suggestion for next videos when it does apply :-)

Hey Leonardo I hope it was useful! Chromatic Mediants really are amazing. Thanks for watching and subbing!

Thanks!

Thank you! I hope it will be useful for your music :)

Yes you got it right. It's incredibly simple and highly effective and they sound great if you ask me!

When it comes to enharmonic writing it can become a bit confusing. But at the end of the day as long as the root note connection is a minor or major third, it is considered a mediant connection. And personally I prefer to rename chords like B# to C. Abm to B i would call G#m to B. But not everybody agrees with me on this.

It definitely is. And the great things is that it is easy and usable in any genre!

So the diatonic mediants from C# minor are E major and A major. Chromatic mediant connections would be: C#m to Em, C#m to E#m(or Fm), C#m to E# (F) C#m to Am, C#m to A#m, C# to A#

@@LearningMusicSkills thank you so much!

I am not sure if I understand your question. Because I cannot find any example with the chords Cm - Em - Abm - Fm. Can you give a timestamp? If you mean the example in Cm then it is an Ab going to Fm, which are both part of the key Cm. The movement is in thirds. Hope this helps!

I did not know that. Very nice! Do you know a song of them that you could recommend?

Haha I'll take that as a compliment :D. Paul Davids is the best. Clear, entertaining and educational!

Yes definitely. Very powerful.

If that's the case in this video it's just a coincidence. You can place them anywhere you like in your music!

@@LearningMusicSkills aaaaaa ok,thats make more sence to me Ty :)

You are right this is modal interchange

Hey Anders thanks for commenting! Are you sure that you watched my video? Because the video that you give as the correct example literally says the same as I do (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e6-miZpo2bKvaZc.html). The only difference is that he does not give that many real life examples as I do. Music theory is not that black and white, especially when it comes to borrowed chords, chromatic mediants and modal interchange. Chromatic mediants can be approached as being borrowed chords from other modes. So you could be rightby saying that they are borrowed chords. But saying that the examples in this video are not chromatic mediants is incorrect. Chromatic mediants can have multiple functions and multiple applications. Thanks for watching and joining the discussion!

I don't push that hard for subscribers or likes during my videos. It feels strange to do. This might be the reason. Of course more subscribers are always welcome 😃

@@LearningMusicSkills well you deserve more. Content is great. Im spending a lot of time here lately. Ive got multiple vids saved to my playlists

I just had to Google him. I did not know him, but he's quite famous 😝

Thank you! Cheers 😀

Thanks! I really liked the last example as well. Actually I now realise that there is a mistake in the score in that section. What you hear in the playback is full contrary motion but in the score it is only from bar 1 to 2.

@@LearningMusicSkills Oh no! It happens to the best of us. When making these video solo, it's so easy for little things like that to slip by. Nature of the beast; I wouldn't worry about it :) I really dig that give all these examples in different styles and instrumentations
