  1. QUESTION: Marty, I have a couple of doubts and I would love it if you were able to resolve them.
    I know of a couple of songs that are in the key of C major, but they include chords like D major, D7 or E major. That´s my first and main doubt.
    Now, when you played in the video the E minor and A minor chord progression, was it the key of C major? because I believe it was the A minor scale… In other words, can a song be in the key of C major, for example, without a C major chord? Thanks so much?

  2. Lol yeah, who studies music? Best musicians rose from nothing, let alone afford music lessons. This guy is just butthurt cuz he relies on his lessons and workshops to songwrite. Just turn your feelings to ink bruv, peace.

  3. NOT KNOCKING WHAT YOU LEARN IN SCHOOL AND I TIP MY HAT OFF TO YOU FOR TEACHING YOURSELF HOW TO PLAY THE GUITAR AND THE PIANO, BUT WHAT DOES THIS VIDEO HAVE TO DO WITH HOW TO WRITE A SONG. I HAVE GONE TO PLENTY OF (SONGWRITING WORKSHOPS) IN NASHVILLE TN. AND IT WAS ALL ABOUT CREATING. IF I HAVE SAID IT ONCE, I HAVE SAID IT A THOUSAND TIMES. (YOU REALLY CAN'T TEACH A PERSON HOW TO WRITE A SONG. EITHER YOU GOT IT OR YOU DON'T. THE NAME OF THIS VIDEO SHOULD BE (CHORD STRUCTURE). PEACE MY BROTHER.

  4. i've never studied music academically in my life, i've taught myself how to sing and play the guitar/piano, i knew exactly what he was saying, the stuff in this video was actually remedial for me. If this is what you consider advanced then i doubt you've been studying music all your life. This is the kind of stuff they teach music students in middle school….

  5. IF YOU HAVE NOT STUDY MUSIC LIKE SOME OF US HAS, YOU AIN'T GOING TO UNDERSTAND A ……..THING HE SAID. I HAVE BEEN STUDY MUSIC ALL OF MY LIFE AND I KNEW WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT, BUT IT DID NOT HAVE A THING TO DO WITH WRITING A SONG. THIS IS ALWAYS BEEN MY THEORY: YOU CAN'T TEACH A PERSON HOW TO WRITE A SONG. EITHER YOU GOT IT OR NOT. WRITING A SONG COMES FROM WITH IN. EITHER YOU HAVE THE GIFT OR YOU DON'T. WHEN YOU MADE THIS VIDEO MY BROTHER, I KNOW YOU HAD GOOD INTENTIONS. BUT YOU MIS THE MA

  8. I found this really helpful. I already knew all the terminology and stuff from taking music theory in high school, but I forgot a lot of it too. This really simplified things in a useful way. Thank you!
