Thank you for the kind words! Maybe I'll give "My Shot" a try and see if I can keep it under two hours :)

btw 100% agree with the "original" harmoy on the "bomb locks in" is killer and sounds very powerful

Hi, thanks for commenting. I agree that it's important to have self-confidence about your own abilities. I think my reaction was a knee-jerk response based on articles that advocate dropping the "smart" label in learning situations. See: www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2015/06/the-s-word/397205/

Hi, thanks for your feedback. You're right and I'm sure people interested in music have seen seen all of these channels before - but, there's always a chance someone finds something new! As for why, I made this video to summarize what I learned watching these channels so people can hear my perspective. I'm interested in hearing if people agree or disagree with my analysis so I can better understand how to make content.

Yeah, I like 12Tone and appreciate that he disagrees with Neely because that can face some tough criticism. I think everyone should be challenged though, including my analysis videos. Rick is fun to watch but his analysis videos just aren't for me! I think his interviews tend towards excellent though

Yes, I watched the Dos Orugitas video and it was incredible. I even recommend his Bruno video to everyone I can because it's really well done - I just disagree with his madrigal idea

That's great, thanks for subbing to everyone! I agree, Sideways has awesome videos and we could use more of them :)

@@zacharywarrenmusic True! Also, can you do some Charlie Puth content? Especially with his later works which are very poppy and “too much for pop” at the same time?

Yeah of course, that sounds fun. Do you have a song or album suggestion?

Great idea! That sounds like a fun project, I'll definitely put it on my list

Hi Shravan, thank you for your comment! Covers are a little legally complicated so I'm more focused on analysis. I can do a deeper dive into his composition though, including showing some pitch and rhythm

Hi Pedro, thank you for your question! You're right that we expect F minor in the key of Eb major. What makes F major work in this progression is its relation to Bb - a perfect 4th (or 5th, depending on how you look at it) away. So the opening progression moves by perfect 4ths and keeps the major quality for each chord. This pattern is what makes the F major chord sound like it "belongs." Note: the pattern breaks when we get Ab major, because that is not a perfect fourth away from F major. Also, F major is the dominant (V) chord of Bb major, which is another reason why it "sounds good" following the Bb major chord. The general answer to your question is you can play any chord in any quality and order, as long as you like the sound. That's not incredibly helpful, so I'll follow up with some theory knowledge to inform chord progression choices. If we take this progression as an example (Eb-Bb-F-Ab), there's a pattern of perfect fourths with Ab breaking the pattern. So, you could do something similar but with major 3rds (Eb-G-Bb-Fm -> Fm breaks the pattern). You could also extract the "secondary dominant" idea, which is what we traditionally call F major in relation to Bb. F major not the dominant of Eb, it is the dominant of a "secondary key" - Bb ergo a secondary dominant. There's a secondary dominant for every note (except scale degree 7) in the Eb scale, so play around with those. For the most traditional-sounding progressions, play the secondary dominant first then the chord it "belongs to" - such as Eb-G-Cm-Bb. The G "belongs to" C minor as a secondary dominant (the V of Cm). Once you have that sound figured out, you can switch it like Coldplay does in this song and play the secondary dominant after the key it "belongs to" -> Eb-Cm-G-Bb. I recommend playing these different progressions to hear how they sound. Chord progressions are not copyrightable because there are limited permutations, so if you like one of the progressions I gave as an example please feel free to use it! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Great observation! I really appreciate how that F is so satisfying even though it's not the highest note in the piece

Hi Brenda, thank you for your comment! I agree that they are very talented and their enthusiasm for classical music is infectious. I think their video is overall successful, but just different from my approach (which isn't a bad thing!) I haven't watched a lot of their videos, but I'll be sure to check out that one you mentioned :)

Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for watching!

Yes I can! Sounds like a great idea

Thanks Arnulfo! Glad you enjoyed it :)
