Thanks everyone - I try to make my turorials jam packed with thoughts and ideas that really make my audience understand it intuitively - Because of this, it is hard to come up with enough solid material to make a video! I'm glad to be back and I'll have some very thoughtful new approaches coming out soon. As long as my new GF doesn't keep me too worn out :)

I wish you'd make videos again. You teach in layman's terms and it's so easy to learn! :)

PROFESSOR PINCTER in da hizzle fo shor mang. Please keep doing what u do; mad shouts 2 NZ!!!!

7th chords or 7th intervals cause tension and minor notes added to a major key work well. Tension adds a lot of flavor and emotion to your music. As music theory minor, Ace knows his stuff.

Great video - and explanations - 5 stars

Welcome back, Ace! Your videos were missed :)

Thanks. Ill take everything you said into consideration! Damn dude, its like im liearning something from my band teacher himself. Hes mad chill like you, and his method of teaching is actually very similar to yours. Glad to have found u on youtube. Keep me posted for your newest updates. Take it easy man.

really awesome!!, thanks for all the tips

So glad you are back in our lives. Great vid dadio.

i have been doing it unconsciously over the year!

The hole Loveless album(with my bloody valentine) is about tension and relief I think. Very good album thought

ace, thanks for all the videos, my favorite tutorials on youtube, mostly because you dont have an annoying accent. anyone ever tell you that you sound like Robert Rodriguez's commentaries?

very interesting subject matter here. good stuff to think about , thanks ace.

Wow, you're amazing!

awesome thanks teach!

Yeah, AcePincter is back. Nice video! :)

wow!!! Magnificent video!! Especially the quality in SD!!! Or maybe i'm already on HQ lol

You are awesome!!!!

wow...cool stuff

Not sure if this will help or not since your post was over 2 months ago lilscrapbook82, but if you go to piano roll options, helpers, and check detect scale, then after you play or paint a few notes it will show you the scale you are working with indicated by the light gray in the grid. The darker areas are not in the scale you are using.

very awesome vid

Hi Ace, big fan of the videos. One question, at 6:36 you reference that the 'FL Helper' says that the F was not in the song's chord. What is this exactly- is there a tool that tells you if a not is in/out of the song's key? Thanks

Thanks alot man. Gonna try to apply this to some project. Good job, keep it up :D

Thanks!

so informative and true. but i wanted to ask: where did you get this informations? i mean it's something that you study in music theory or it's something that you came up with?

Very interesting,thanks.

Awesome and informative video as yours always are. It's a little hard to hear your voice over the sound produced by FL though. I find myself reaching for the volume control a little too often.

Dude ur a god

aaaaace pincterrrrr

lol nice explanation of tension...

Hey Ace, is it bad if you dont really know the notes, like how they sound like and how to use them. It does have alot of negative sides like when you know what sound you want in you head, but just cant find the right note on the piano roll. Is there an easy way to learn the notes?

would be nice to make collaboration with u ,id learn so much doing it live with smbdy who knows whats what

How do you make more notes suddenly appear on your piano roll? T.I.A.

Google: [song name] midi

Will proof next time : new mic

uänson

omg you used a melody from a song from nine inch nails...
