Suggestions for future videos are welcome! Reply to this comment if you have some ideas. I'm not sure if I'll be able to match the condensed pacing of these three, but I can definitely try. :-)
First off, I love these videos! Right now I'm trying to learn all the modes. So, I would suggest doing a video on that! I understand modes can be very difficult to get a grip on, and I would believe making a video on would be toughQ. Given you've done a very good job on the last 3 videos, I feel you'll do great though!
@@1gabe1996 Thanks! Would this video you're imagining go through, say, the modes of the major scale, and familiarize the viewer with the characteristics of each?
Your vids are awesome, Casey, can you please do one about ear training and how to do it properly? I, for exaple, am struggling with distinguishing between harmonic four and fifth intervals and have no clue how to distinguish sus2 and sus4 chords, not to mention 7-th chords and poly-chords, thanks!
@@Mrfailstandstil Hmmm... great suggestion... I'll have to noodle on that for a while. I'm not an expert (at all) on ear training methods, but maybe I can come up with some clever... the video I'm working on now covers a tiny bit of "how to find the tonic" type stuff, but it's not exactly what you're describing.
These whole series about music theory are the most visual and verbally well explained videos on that matter that i have ever seen. Thanks for everything.
dude like after about 15 years of playing drums and trying to understand music theory and chords. the last 2 videos just completely made everything click after all this time thank you
these videos are great. As someone that has been playing music for years without learning a ton of music theory or even remembering how to read the staff in conjuction with my instrument; this lays down an incredibly firm base for beginners that hardly knew what they were talking about. 10/10 would recommend
Didn't feel like I need a theory lesson, but dude, this was so well made. It was a pleasure to watch the series, hope it gets all the attention and praise it deserves!
I just finished the audio illusions series of yours and only now realised that you also made Music Theory Distilled, which I had watched a long time ago! Really thank you for your work, it made me understand a lot of concepts better than ever and so it did for my friends! :) great job
Casey Connor I am now 3 lessons in to this series, the videos are very impressive. The pictures you use help immensely. So thank you, I appreciate your work. I only started music theory 2weeks ago from a dj back round hoping to move into production music production. A good video would be 5 things you wish you knew when you started out.
I play bass. Lots of good teachers here on RUclips, including theory. BUT this series of videos totally changed the game for me. All these terms and concepts I had a slight understanding of all came together. Thanks a ton.
Best and most compact music theoretical summary I have ever seen! ! ! Very interesting and HELPFUL to tie the loose ends together. Thank you very much for the visualization and explanation! Best regards. (Looking forward to more videos ...)
I watched all three videos...absolutely excellent. I have a suggestion for you. Market an app with your scale slider that you used. I would love to have that. It is so much more useful than a chart. Im want C#maj...just slide the major in line with C#...brilliant.
That may be a cool idea. But from me to you. Use a piece of Paper, if you are craftsy, just cut it out. The simple act of using a pen or pencil to note something down is anchored by our ancestry to find it's way faster into our neural links into the brain. Maybe in the future, the usage of a Keyboard on a Computer may have the same effect but for now, we are linked to our little doodling and writing on paper. The simple act of writing something out helps you remember stuff better! :) Maybe this is of use for you someday! Meanwhile, have a nice time and stay safe!
Thanks, very nice again, totally underrated yet, but your time will come! 🦄 I personally think, that you could have put some more in this one, in comparison to part 1 and 2, but one can definiately learn from it. Maybe add some visually explained examples of the tipical music rhythms like samba, bossa nova, etc.
Awesome videos and incredibly good explanations! :) I would like one on modes and looking at chord progressions in different modes - how to get the mindset for modes whilst playing and choosing chords in different voicings to 'replace' melodies
Tremendous videos! Really love and appreciate the way you present the information. I’ve consumed it in so many different ways but you break it down in a way I have yet to see and wish I came across this years ago! Great work!!
I just discovered these videos on music theory. They are great! Thanks for breaking it down in a way that is straight forward. You put a lot of work into these vids.
@@KavateJayesh That's what he himself called the last section of his video, "3:56 -- begging for money", and what I said is that I will only be watching that part and skip all the other parts, because you know that's what we always want to watch on RUclips videos... 😉 🙂
Hey man, I have been trying to learn and understand music theory for a while and this is the first series of videos I've found that's actually helped me out. You're awesome and thanks for that! You mention practicing a lot in order to get these concepts down. What kind of practice are you talking about, and do you have a recommendation for any exercises? Thanks again for the great videos!
Hey -- glad the videos were helpful! If you want to get better at applying the concepts in these videos (as opposed to playing a particular instrument, which is a separate thing), I'd suggest starting with simple songs and trying to determine the scale, key, chord progression, etc. You can try "spelling" scales in different keys, or making up random scales and figuring out how to spell them in relative terms (1, 2, 3b, 4, 5, 6b, etc.). One of the most common applications is deciphering chord names. If you need to play an Fmaj7add9, what notes does that involve? You'll need to spell the F major scale and use it to find the 1,3, and 5 off of F, as well as the 7 and 9. If none of this sounds helpful, it might be best to just find a local teacher and pay for one or two meetings where you can try breaking down songs with their help: expert guidance goes a long way with this stuff, because there are lots of "gotchas" lurking for the uninitiated. Good luck!
Great series. I've been searching for something like this for a while now and I bet I'll be rewatching it multiple more times. So far music theory looks kind of chaotic to me. People made up a bunch of difficult terminology to describe combinations of pitch in time. Weird. Anyways, thanks for the inspiration for my own project on quantum mechanics and other physical nonsense, that may or may not get finished.
Damn this video series is brilliant man! I‘m a software developer and just getting into music production (DnB) and this videos really helped me wrap my head around the underlying systematics. I don‘t know if it suits the theme but maybe you could make a video about the theory behind the use of ghost notes. They are a big part of making DnB rythm and atm i just randomly push them around hoping to get the result i want. Would be great to have a bit of a deeper understanding how they work (if thats even possible).
Yeah, I'm working on a draft now about choosing chords for melodies... but I'm not sure subsequent videos can have quite the same compact/intense presentation as these, given the subjects involved. I guess there's one way to find out. :-) Any suggestions for topics? I thought about a video or two on creating harmony parts for melodies (e.g. backup vocals.) I also thought about doing more sciency music stuff, like "why 12 tones", or psychoacoustics, etc.
@@CaseyConnor That's great to hear! I suppose it's only natural that as the subject matter gets more complex the videos will have to be less succinct. I think both of those subjects would be really good. From a rhythm perspective I'd certainly be interested in hearing more about more complex time, polymeter, cross rhythms etc. I think modes would be a great topic. It feels like a lot of videos over complicate modes, or just don't explain them very well. I feel like I get modes but have a hard time conceptualising them.
WOW thank you so much. I'm a self taught musician and I've never been into theory. I had a good feeling about a lot of the concepts you covered in this video series but you've explained it really well and cleared up a lot of misconceptions and misunderstandings I've had. Would you consider making videos where you break down existing songs to highlight the otherwise un-noticed nuances in timing, rhythm, chord progressions, scale changes etc? Think that'd be cool to see. Keep up the great content 👍
This video seems incomplete to me. The previous two are so dense with info, I was expecting this one to at least explain time signatures or maybe show what some well known rhythms look like like. Swing is important to understand but it seems arbitrary to only focus on that.
musgrada you’re saying rhythm is to scales as rhythm guitar is to shredding? That’s a strange analogy. I get what you’re saying but my point is that rhythm is more complex than that. There’s a lot more to cover. He went fairly deep with scales and covering modes and chords. He didn’t go proportionally as deep into rhythm, for example time signatures, tempos, polyrhythms.
@@darkstar4494 I'm saying playing rhythm is easier than shredding solos. I love both, and they are both needed to compose a song...but soloing in a metal song, for instance, is much more technical and difficult, and takes more practice than keeping the rhythm of the song. That's what I was going for. It was suppose to be funny before you sucked the air out of the room, oh, dark one.
i actually understood what someone is saying for one ! i usually just get lost 30 secs in for these music theory videos, but yours are very well done! maybe next time a video on how about to read sheet music ?
Glad you liked it! Unfortunately I'm not the guy for a sheet music tutorial. :-) Hopefully someone will step up (if there isn't already a similar video out there?)
Hay man! I've been looking for videos like this but RUclips didn't help much to find them! Glad I finally stumbled upon them! You rock, keep doing you. Much Love
@@CaseyConnor The two hours already expired. Luckily I could not bring myself to dislike such a great video. :) If someone does dislike it it wasn't me. Great vid
Thanks for making these videos. Im supposed to know all this, but its always nice to refresh your knowledge. Id donate... if I had money lol Targeting musicians with your YT vids and asking for donations is quite a brave endeavour since we (musicians) can hardly ever sustain ourselves hahahahaha haha ha.... haaa...... *cries into an analog synth*
Thanks! Re: next parts... I'm honestly not sure. I've been considering various topics for follow-up videos, but honestly in terms of theory my personal expertise and interest in the subject doesn't reach all that far past these videos (and there are already lots of great people on youtube making in-depth theory stuff.) Maybe I can find some other musical subjects to talk about. Now that these videos have gotten some attention I'm nervous that whatever video I release next is going to be unrelated to theory and disappoint all the new followers. E.g. see the rest of my videos -- not a theory video among them. :-)
One great example of swung or straighr rhythm is take me to church by hozier. At first, i thought the kick drum was swung even though some of us will immediately assume that it is meant to be swung but basing from the genre itself, and listening closely, we can hear that it was straight after all. *oh btw 'rhythms' is a seven letter word without vowels*
This should get more attention tbh. Ive been looking for videos to explain some aspects regarding music theory for ages. Your vids are by far the best. I have a question regarding beats and measures, when i play in an instrument i tend to lose the rhythm of a song or even the rhythm of a chord progression i randomly play. Any way to help me sustain the rhythm for much longer times. and if , in a way, i lose rhythm help me get back to the rhythm again?
I hate to say this, but the honest answer is probably just "practice more". :-) That kind of familiarity and instinct really just needs repetition and time. Make sure your practice is focused and intentional (e.g. you're not snacking and watching TV while you strum the guitar or whatever). Another tip is to use a metronome: people associate metronomes with tortured, labored practice, due to the depiction in movies and TV, but metronomes are the best. I think metronomes offer the highest yield of just about any learning tool. Get an app for your phone or computer, or buy a physical metronome. Even just 5 or 10 minutes a day should yield improvements in a week or two. Other than those tips, you can also practice counting and noting the cycles of beats and measures in songs as you listen to them. It helps develop the mental habit of forming visualizations of what's going on rhythmically.
Well done explaining all this stuff. My mind feels cramped with all this knowledge I may have to watch all the parts again to grasp them. Thanks! I wonder if anyone has donated a million dollars :P
I have an idea for your next tutorial that has never been done before. Mostly, arranging tutorial was explained in a DAW. Why don't you try to combine all the series of your tutorials and try to make a series of how to make arrangements based on your unique and simple style of making an arrangement. That would help us so much. It's so interesting.
Thanks -- by "arrangement" do you mean the creation of e.g. bass/drum/backup parts for a song? Or creating harmony parts for a melody? Or something else?
Casey Connor Let us think this way. Since you started your video series from fundamentals of music to advance scales and progression of the chords. With your next video that you are planning to do about "arrangement" of the song, differentiate the 1. Pop Arrangement 2. Orchestral Arrangement 3. Jazz Arrangement 4. Rock Arrangement And any genre. You could do wide information of it, but the best way is to generalize the idea of it. Make it short. As short as possible. A long video doesn't attracts viewers. You just need 3-5. With that video, you may fill in the knowledge about texture, dynamics and timbre and how will they fit in an arrangement. Trust me. If people wanted to know about chord progressions, sure they wanted to learn a simple way of arranging a song based on the knowledge of your previous videos. If you're still seeking for some information about what I'm talking about. Feel free to message or email me. You have a great creativity of how complicated things turn into simple knowledge. 😊
Casey Connor Watch this one. ruclips.net/video/2UphAzryVpY/видео.html It's not what exactly you have to do, but the arrangement of a song is what you will aim in this.

Amazing. I figured all of this by myself in 2 years and it was quite a journey but here it is perfectly explained, it helps to see it visually too
can a single note expand from one measure to another?
in 25 minutes I've learned more than in 25 years. I'm not even mad, I'm impressed.

I have a question regarding beats and measures, when i play in an instrument i tend to lose the rhythm of a song or even the rhythm of a chord progression i randomly play. Any way to help me sustain the rhythm for much longer times. and if , in a way, i lose rhythm help me get back to the rhythm again?
I hate to say this, but the honest answer is probably just "practice more". :-) That kind of familiarity and instinct really just needs repetition and time. Make sure your practice is focused and intentional (e.g. you're not snacking and watching TV while you strum the guitar or whatever). Another tip is to use a metronome: people associate metronomes with tortured, labored practice, due to the depiction in movies and TV, but metronomes are the best. I think metronomes offer the highest yield of just about any learning tool. Get an app for your phone or computer, or buy a physical metronome. Even just 5 or 10 minutes a day should yield improvements in a week or two. Other than those tips, you can also practice counting and noting the cycles of beats and measures in songs as you listen to them. It helps develop the mental habit of forming visualizations of what's going on rhythmically.
@@CaseyConnor RUclips should introduce medals mahn..you deserve one
Wow, My best friend, I liked the video very much, thanks you for sharing, stay safe, stay blessed
These are great! Thanks for doing this.
Swing can still be quantized to 32,64,128 etc.
Well done explaining all this stuff. My mind feels cramped with all this knowledge I may have to watch all the parts again to grasp them. Thanks!
I wonder if anyone has donated a million dollars :P
Ohpleaseohpleaseohplease... :-)
More I learned in music class
Great video
The first two made my brain hurt a little, but this was a bit easier on me.
That was a little harder than the others lol
Love your videos mate.
I have an idea for your next tutorial that has never been done before. Mostly, arranging tutorial was explained in a DAW. Why don't you try to combine all the series of your tutorials and try to make a series of how to make arrangements based on your unique and simple style of making an arrangement. That would help us so much. It's so interesting.
Thanks -- by "arrangement" do you mean the creation of e.g. bass/drum/backup parts for a song? Or creating harmony parts for a melody? Or something else?
Casey Connor Let us think this way.
Since you started your video series from fundamentals of music to advance scales and progression of the chords. With your next video that you are planning to do about "arrangement" of the song, differentiate the
1. Pop Arrangement
2. Orchestral Arrangement
3. Jazz Arrangement
4. Rock Arrangement
And any genre. You could do wide information of it, but the best way is to generalize the idea of it. Make it short. As short as possible. A long video doesn't attracts viewers. You just need 3-5. With that video, you may fill in the knowledge about texture, dynamics and timbre and how will they fit in an arrangement. Trust me. If people wanted to know about chord progressions, sure they wanted to learn a simple way of arranging a song based on the knowledge of your previous videos. If you're still seeking for some information about what I'm talking about. Feel free to message or email me. You have a great creativity of how complicated things turn into simple knowledge. 😊
Casey Connor Do both of that. Harmonize and blend instruments. Use your line visualization and portray how easy the arrangement is.
@@bryan25cool Ok -- thanks for the ideas. I'm not sure what I will do, but I will certainly consider this. :-)
Casey Connor Watch this one.

It's not what exactly you have to do, but the arrangement of a song is what you will aim in this.
