How is it that this guy is the only person in this solar system who can explain music theory in a simple way? :D

lol...that "in this video, im gonna teach you.." is epic.

It took 11 years for me to finally get this until now... Thank you I could literally stop thinking and just listen. Great explanation

1.25x speed is your friend, jesus christ

Thank you for these lessons on chord progression theory. I was really confused trying to understand from books and what you said made perfect sense. The major scale formula takes tells me exactly where I need to be. Again Thank You.

SO much easier to understand than those confusing explanations using a circle. Makes sense now.

Great video series. Thanks so much for breaking it down in a simple fashion, accessible to anyone. Any fool can mock, but it takes great intellect to distill, reduce, and communicate clearly.

You're great at explaining this! I'm learning so much from you thank you soooooo much for posting these!

Thank you SO much. This is exactly what i was trying to figure out. You made it simple and the bumber system is bomb. Thanks again!! ✊

Excellent video. I began to learn piano but have been having a hard time understanding the theory of scales and progressions and you explain it very well. Thanks

"which is hardly ever used" I use it all the time for jazzy stuff

Praise the Lord. Nice speed. Everything was complete and competent.

Bless you for making these. My brain works this way.

Awesome video never really understood this after reading about it and other vids but this video makes it so much easier to understand Thanks !!

this is like 10 years old but the best explanation i could find of this, thank you sir!

Brilliant explanation! Thank you!

Amazing! Exactly what I was looking for!

This is very helpful. I never thought of it this way.

For a second I thought this was Khan academy, but this is awesome!

Very helpful video ! Its easier to understand intervals when a musical exemple is given🎉 Thank you !

Thank you sir, very well explained lesson, it is much appreciated

Great video. Keep making more. Thank You

THIS IS GOLD THANK YOU!

This video is the BEST to explain the chord progression properly. Great work!!!!

This was a great lesson thank you very much 😁

Thank you, great explanation!

great job! thanks for sharing it.

if you use the NA system then all of the 0-0-0 (5,1,4) represents a major chord, making it an additional way to remember

That's really cool. Thanks.

This is very helpful. Thank you so much.

Great lesson ! Thank you !

I know I kinda set myself up for it when I searched "chord progression for dummies" but the way he said "In this video, I'm gonna teach you..." hurt lmao. No hate though, thank you for the lesson! It really helped! :D

I like the lesson very much

If you mention other recommended videos, you should put an annotation or link it in the description so we don't have to go hunting for it.

can you have a base root different to your chords? like base note = C but your chords Are D#, G, A# (for example)

Nice video ! How do I know which notes I can add if I want to use 4/5 notes for a chord?

Great job. Thanks.

So does this only apply to the major scales? Or is it for all scales? (Minor, lydian, dorian, mixolydian and so on)

great tutorial, Im just wondering what type of software did you use to make this video.

how does chord progressions work in a music aural exam.

It was really helpful 😊

worshipwoodshed, key signature of the key of A has how many sharps or flats? the key of A only have sharps, 3 sharps so for the sake of confusion I would have just put C-sharp because the key of A does not have flats if you are going to go by the circle of fifths key signature..

Ok. Let say your are playing 1 4 5 in C i.e. C F G and the song calls for a major D after the C chord before going on to the 4 & 5. What would you call the D?

Very useful thank you so much

Actually, it does matter if you call it C# or D flat if it's in A major. Accidentals have gotta be correct. Nice video either way.

So....which is one better to say.... 0 or 1... for tonic?

does these numbers represents the the finger?

great vid, thank you

how do yo put chord progression into practice.

So this pertains to every mode, scale, and basically everything? You always count ahead from the root note of the scale? Say F Major, next note is a G, right? And the next chord would be a Gminor since the G note is number 2 and the second note is always a minor? Am I way off? What about C Major? Isen't that all major notes and chords?

is there a link to the video we're supposed to watch before this one? it might be stuff I already know, but I'm learning piano and alot of sheet music / note reading, which is good, but I also want to "jump ahead" a bit and also learn chord progressions and how to just 'freestyle' it with sometimes. EDIT: Found it kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kJiPgpB23Lm4fI0.html

Do you happen to have an engineering / mathematics background?

What if youre doing a natural minor scale isnt 1 suppose to be a minor?

which tool you use to draw?

Can someone let me know if this is only for major keys ? Or all keys? :)

Thank alot ... its really helped me !!

Why does the number 4 does not fall under D#/Eb ? Any logic ?

great video

what is this for? is a chord supposed to be notes that sound good together?

Amazing ty!

Nice and simple!

what mode is this for just major scales.

God bless dude!

yeah but i play e to g all the time and wouldnt that be a 1-3?

wait then why do people say 0,3,4 and 0,4,3 make chord progressions?

C# F# G# it may see nit picky, but it helps everything stay neet. You don't want two of the same notes (ie. C and C#) in your scale. You don't spend that extra microsecond distinguishing between the two.

very helpful thanks

If it goes R-W-W-H-W-W-W-H That is eight notes. I know you don't usually count the start of a step system. However, in this case (I) is always the (R) which is the starting point. That would make (8) step right? (R) Thru the last (H ) is a total of (8) if counting (R). If the number system only goes to (7). Then is (R) not counted even though (I) is put it? If (R) is not counted, well then I'm confused about (R) always being (I) Is that why they call the (7th) diminished? I would think if the step system always ends where it begins then (I) & (7) would be Major as they are the same. Or is it the last (H) half step that is not counted. i.e., the diminished note. This is the only part that confusing. All else I understand correctly. I think. LOL Never mind I get it. You don't count (I) twice. Ya, I'm a dummy sometimes. I got this 10 sec after this post. However, I will leave my tarted post up just in case another model has the same brain fart!!!

So the 1-7 numbering method. Could it also work with mixolydian and Dorian scales?

Thanks, Donald.

Why are chords 2, 3, 6, minors? Thanks

so this rule applies to minor scales also? Please answer me I'm pretty damn confused...thanks!

Well I got Chord Progressions in my Original Music I got chords ranging from 1 to 8, since I got 8 Letters in the Music Alphabet (A B C D E F G H) also it starts all over again at A, and 14 Notes (8 = Natural, 6 Accidental) • 1 - 8 • 1, 4, 5, 6 = Major • 2, 3, 7 = Minor • 8 = Diminished

I know I'm going to sound like I'm nit-picking, but here goes. The problem with naming the 3 chord Db minor is that it is no longer a 3 chord. 3 (usually written in roman numerals as III) indicates that it is a third above the tonic of the scale (which is A in this case). So, it does make a difference. You're right in saying that all that matters is where you play it, but understanding music in a theoretically-correct way makes it simple to explain more advanced concepts later on.

Thank you!

Tnx fot the lesson 🤘

Nice thank you.

I just subbed so hard.

this is very cool. But I don't understand it. hehe I want to learn. I'm an aspiring musician can you Help me on where or what should I start to study so that I can Understand this. hehe thank you very. I really love to learn this.

ehh...what if you start on a minor key? what's the progression rule for minor keys?

the font looks like chord progression heavy

If I'm in the minor scale, would the IV and V chords still be Major or are they flipped?

Sooooooooooo are there only 7 chords in any given progression?

Stupid Question...I assume this is for Major chords? Major chords follow the RWWHWWWH. You referred to it as the major scale "Phone Number" in major scale and number system video. Is there a "phone number" for minor chords? Would the theory be the same, just following the Minor "phone number?"

a little limiting? 4mi, 5mi, 2ma, 3ma, and 6ma are all useful chords.

so the chords in the box are in the key of A?

In My Music • 1 - 8 • 1, 4, 5, 6 = Major, 4 = Augmented • 2, 3, 7 = Minor • 8 = Diminished

Does the 1,4 and 5 notes in a minor scale produce a major sound? and 2,3 and 6 a minor sound? as well as it is here with Major chords.

Do the chords change depending on the root! HELP!!

Thanks Bro :) :)

All of ths informatio assumes were are dealing with a major scale. It would be different if we were using a minor scale.

Why skip over C, D sharp/E flat, F and G?

what if your root chord is minor?

i just made a song! amazing!

Key of A Major in My Music A = 1 = Root B = 2 C# = 3 D = 4 E = 5 F# = 6 G# = 7 H# = 8 A = 1 1 = A Major 2 = B Minor 3 = C# Minor 4 = D Major Augmented 5 = E Major 6 = F# Major 7 = G# Minor 8 = H# Diminished 1 = A Major

Oh my god when I started playing I thought it was Donald Trump

While what you are saying is true, it only applies in relation to traditional old school music thinking. In reality 2, 3, and 6 chords can be either minor or major. Plus the 7th scale degree is used as both a diminished chord, minor or major. Ignoring these facts sell your students short.

I don't really get it

I thought 1, 3 and 5 were major chords, no?

Yupp.. Mhmmm.... I know some of these words
