Awesome! Thanks so much, I'm glad it was helpful.

@@IanODonnell It really is...thank you very much! I really appreciate this.

Hahaha thank you so much!!

Glad you liked the video!! Were you confused that all the other videos on the channel were about living in a van? hahaha

@@IanODonnell ahah yes not what I was expecting but that's quite alright!!

Happy to help!!

Thanks for checking it out!! And yeah, I've been thinking about doing one on tri-tone subs soon.

You got to roll up your sleeves and get it done when it comes to music theory 😂

@@IanODonnell 😂😂

Glad you enjoyed it

Hahaha, thank you!

Haha that's awesome!! I hope your exams all go well. Happy I could help a little.

Thanks so much!! And that was a question I also had when I first learned about borrowed chords. Basically, you can think about it that way if you want. Hahaha However, when you're in minor, most any chord that you'd say is "borrowed" is really just taken from harmonic minor or melodic minor. So it's best if you can think of it that way, but whatever works best is fine!!

@@IanODonnell ohh alright makes more sense now cause I was thinking that but wasn't sure. Thank you! You think you can make a video about how melodic structure phrases work in the future? Cause the way you explain theory is clear for me. Thanks!!

That's a good idea. I'll see if I can do one in a month or so!!

@@IanODonnell Thank you! Appreciate it! Melody is something I still haven't learned haha

Yeah. Melody writing takes a while. I'm still am learning things myself. (Counter Point helps a lot btw. The book by Fux is great!! And only like $10 on Amazon) We're you think about a theory video on writing melodic minor melodies or chords? (Or both is fine hahaha)

Well, it's not functional harmony, but you can break the rules and sometimes it sounds really cool. So it's not "normal", but you could use it if you wanted!!

@@IanODonnell I see what you are saying, but that does leave wondering how the composer ended up using those chords. Do you think he was just trying random chords and got lucky?

@@DiegoElz Well, he could have been thinking of temporarily going to the key of Eb. Which would make the bVI, Ab, function as a IV in the key of Eb. So it's possible he was thinking of some sort of common chord modulation. It's honestly hard to tell though. There are a lot of really strange chord progressions in Zelda games. I've tried to analyze a lot of them and most of the time I honestly can not figure out what in the world the composer was thinking hahaha Some composers kind of develop their own system for writing. So it's hard to know for sure.

@@IanODonnell yeah, it is hard to tell that's why I asked. This is really interesting. Thanks for the answer!

@@DiegoElz Sorry I don't have a better answer 😂😂

Nothing is wrong in music theory... There is a way to observe it... As you are saying that if you go from c f g c/f .... c A# G# C it's not wrong Coz you can think about it this way ... See parallel minor of C major scale is C minor and Notes of C minor C D Eb F G Ab Bb the thing is you are taking A#/Bb and G#/Ab so it is not wrong in any way because you have borrowed these chords or notes...

When you're in minor, you can take any chords from natural minor, harmonic minor or melodic minor. So it's not exactly borrowing from parallel major, but you have multiple chords to choose from.

@@IanODonnell Wow. Thanks for telling me this. I appreciate it. So major could borrow from parallel minor but minor cant borrow from parallel major.

@@saraj4331 Yes, but borrowing from harmonic and melodic minor really does accomplish the same thing basically. And to be honest, and you can do whatever you want hahaha So you can borrow from major if you want and it sounds cool.

@@IanODonnell wow. thanks for telling me all this. So then it seems like the only chords I can borrow then (while in minor) are the II IV and V. And then a few diminished ones.

And if you are borrowing from the parallel major then you can also borrow a I major chord ?

I just had to look up negative harmony. hahaha As far as I can tell it's not really, but there may be some similarities when it comes to what chords you get.

@@IanODonnell I see :o Thanks ^^

@@dhakiregulus7419 Thanks for checking out the video! Hope it helped.

@@IanODonnell You did, that a pretty good video ^^
