I love watching this guy deep-nerding into music theory. You can see in his eyes how satisfying it is to him when everything matches perfectly within the model he explains, and because of his methodic style, my brain effortlessly sympathizes with his satisfaction. And that's exactly when your brain is in the best mood for learning.

Mr. Beato, is there a video where you include the Biharmonic Minor Scale (1-2-b3-#4-5-b6-7), as well as the other Major Keys which differ from the Natural Major Scale (like Harmonic Major: 1-2-3-4-5-b6-7, Melodic Major: 1-2-3-4-5-b6-b7 and Biharmonic /or 'double harmonic'/ Major: 1-b2-3-4-5-b6-7)? It would be also interesting to compare the scales from the different degrees of the Melodic Minor with their equivalents from the degrees of the Melodic Major (for example: F-G-bA-bB-C-D-E-F is F Melodic Minor but it could be the scale build on the 4th degree of C Melodic Major which concists the same notes: C-D-E-F-G-bA-bB-C). The same can be found when we compare scales from the different degrees of the Biharmonic Minor with their equivalents from the degrees of the Biharmonic Major (for example: F-G-bA-B-C-bD-E-F is F Biharmonic Minor but it could be the scale build on the 4th degree of C Biharmonic Major which concists the same notes: C-bD-E-F-G-bA-B-C).

Hey Rick, something I've always been wondering. Does it make a difference, when playing or figuring out a song, to 'think' in major or to 'think' in aolian minor? Both have the exact same material and are parallel to each other. Why bother knowing the modes in Aolian minor when one can 'think' in it's parallel major scale. People refer to a song being in major or minor depending on an overal feel, starting or end-chord am I right? Why not say that the song is starting and ending on the 6th mode of a major scale instead of it being a song written in the (Aolian) minor scale? I understand that the modes are different with melodic and harmonic minor etc. but since major and Aolian minor are practically the same, I always tent to stick to the major scale and its modes. Love your content by the way!

Thank you so much, Rick! Your videos are always great! I've learned keys and chords a slightly different way when it comes to pop songs. If a song is in C Major/A Minor(natural), we can think about it being in both the keys at the same time. This way, we only have to know a single set of chords I,ii,iii,IV,V,vi,vii (CMaj always being chord I, Amin always being chord vi) instead of CMaj as chord I in some part, and when it switches to a more 'A minor' part of the song, Amin as chord i. Would there be any disadvantages knowing it this way?

I was wondering why you break it into the function they have without the 7ths and then with the 7ths? For example in natural minor if we are using triads like at the start of the video then the ii is treated like it's diminished since it's got the flat 3 and flat5. But then once you move on and add the 7ths to the chord functions the ii becomes half diminished because the 7th isn't flattened again like it would be if it actually was diminished. Why treat the ii chord like it's diminished and then also treat it like its half diminished when you add the 7th? Why not make the 7th part of this from the start?

@outlinegm5 жыл бұрын
I believe that to get the Harmonic Minor scale you don't have a b7 like you do in the Natural Minor Scale. (Natural Minor Formula = 1 2 b3 4 5 b6 b7 | Harmonic Minor Scale Formula = 1 2 b3 4 5 b6 7). So even though it only has 1 note that is different you have to apply that note to each chord in the scale that has the 7th degree in it. This is what makes them different and changes the chords. The reason the b7 was changed to a 7 was because it had a more pleasing (stronger) resolution to the 1 chord. At least that's the story I remember being told to the best of my knowledge.
