Which chord progression was your favourite?
No I-IV-V?
Great video. Thanks!
Does some of these have names? I can't find some of these when I search them up…
Validating vulgar rap music. Society is doomed.
Thank you! I think it would've been helpful if you played them ( an improvisation with melody or an accompaniment ).
your hacker.now i know. hay no screct. if you use roofer will be any damage.nothing at all.
cool ! – Lil B
loved this! number seven is my fave
I really liked "i VI i v", but in trying it, i accidentally found i like "i VI i V" even better!
I watched this at 0.75 speed without realising it and the way you described the sounding of the chords was pretty funny
Dear winter-Secondary Dominants, Enormous P*nis-Minor change, Heatwaves-Trap chords. LMK if im right!
Tks Very much
Who likes number 7 tell me
My favourite chord progression it’s using as Bass “F > G > E > A”
I didn't understand de V6/vi chord someone can explain me ? sorry for my english
Let us see if this lesson is more simple than her other lessons ??? ! We hope so!
#9 also used, "when i was your man" bruno mars
Very helpful thanks
The trap beat is wrong. You used a major V chord (notes B, D, G) instead of a minor v which is E G B..
i love how she explained what a 7 chord was but didn't explain modal mixture and semitones ????
5:48 number 7 is my fav
Damn had to duck and cover in my room.
this is moree of a question tthen a hate comment, butt does anyone knoiw how they managed to make everycord sound boring and tthe same as tthe lastt? i am loking for cool sounds and theses all feltt so vanilla
I read the comments and noticed many people felt the same way. While I liked the humor, the notations seemed to not be standard. I'm too new at music theory to have to try to research things myself, I don't think I'll sub. But I'll watch one just to be entertained.
EVERYTHING ABOUT JPEGS I LIKE
Chalo kuch chord notation sikh gaye yahan. ??
Bass players progression: instead of calling it a C6 chord I would rather name it C/E – I don't get it because I cannot find the "A" anywhere within a C-major triad.
Applause Clap Clap Clap
Thanks so much gracias
A very helpful video!
This is very plastic.
Is the keyboard just out of tune or am I? Im getting real confused here.
I V bVII IV is great. If you were here by Thompson Twins is a good example
The delivery is the best! Yes! 😀
Ur awazing
does these work in any key
Keyboard goes out of tune from 2:58…..anybody noticed?? It goes about 3 semitones up…or bird flew into my ear ?
GREAT VIDEO!
Thanks
Thanks for posting this video. I made a short piece of music using #8: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1atQLHrZZI
What makes people so arrogant??
Anywho, thanks for the video it was awesome and not only did I learn a few progs. but I also learned diff notation. So if I'm ever jamming with a keys player, now we won't spend the first 30 minutes arguing and telling the other person they're wrong ?
You are amazing. I love your energy so much <3
