Your verbal skills are seriously impressive. You, sir, are a natural born teacher. The way you said that the chord progression is an abstract structure which sits behind the music... Dude. Goosebumps. This level of abstract thinking and verbalization of such is sadly exceedingly rare in teachers of any sort.
The Face the Sun track is using the same chord progression as Richard Durand's "Into Something" and I love it. Had it on repeat for the past 12 hours, good stuff.
Honestly I’m starting to realize now, thankfully under 2 years into this, that I need to just ask my talented music friends to start sending me recordings and mix that shit together. There’s a lot of cool stuff with production I could accomplish if I had the instrumental skill, or the instruments in general. Sometimes we gotta think outside the box 😅 wish you and everybody luck on this wild rode
Love the the algorithm. All Hail the algorithm.. (that's gonna get turned into a text to wavetable later in vital and then I'll throw chord progressions at it). Thanks Oscar.
I am just starting with music production and a big problem is being so overwhelmed with everything. You have to learn the DAW, chords, melodies, your style of music and so an and so on... watching all these youtube videos kinda makes it worse than better. Sorry, just had to vent that out, because i am just a newbie. You are doing a great job with your videos
I remember you once did a very nice video about chord progressions with midi packs, but it magically disappeared from the channel, although it was really useful.. So, I'm really thankful to you Oscar, that you're refreshing our memories and explaining this again. Great lesson as usual, thanks a lot.. With all the love from Nuremberg 🇩🇪 👋🏼
I think this snippet was from that video. Also, I remember that "shopping for emotions" phrase, so I think Oscar split the video and will reupload it in several more short parts.
Greetings, I can say that your videos give very important tips to people who love this job, it helps a lot, thank you for that. I find it difficult to create FULL CHORD progressions - bassline, especially for projects such as Re-edit - Remix, so that our friends who do not have a musical education like me can benefit, I can't solve the math. Lack of basic musical knowledge (like NOTE INFORMATION) reduces motivation in general, what would your suggestions be? It seems like it's easier to create a new - original track, Kind regards
great info, already loved the sine only chord progression, had a loungy feel. And the last one could've been a rap a la The Streets progression, awesome.
Thats a good refresh of what u explained ty And its not a comment and a thumb up for the algorhythm... but cause i liked it Keep that vibe...btw the end crédits music is really cool
I don't think sine waves are the best timbre for testing chord progressions. You need harmonics to get the full emotional effect. Sawtooth waves are possibly overdoing it, but sawtooths filtered with a gentle lowpass work well. In my opinion, a major chord played with lowpassed sawtooths sounds much happier than the same chord played with sine waves, and it's still simple enough to avoid distracting you with questions of sound design.
Thanks Oscar! I bought a Roland J-6 chord synthesizer to help me to create chord progressions and I can live record these in my Elektron sequencers via midi. Totally worth the money in my case. Also great for dub techno.
Excellent video again, thank you. I'm an eternal beginner and your videos are so inspiring. Your explanations are clear and you share a nice energy. Keep going! I'll wait for the next chapter on chord progresson 😎
Huh, unlike Hobo, you didn't mess up the DnB part. Thumbs up for that. Also noted: weird chords work better with DnB (and in fact Techno, because let's face it, there wouldn't be Technoid otherwise)
for sure. was not a big fan of that house track w/ weird chords, but as soon as i head them with sines i just imagined a nice, crunchy amen break under them

What a fantastic explanation. I've seen countless videos on this topic and this one is the best.
It’s awesome to watch someone who loves what they do and is passionate about sharing their knowledge. Thanks as always for the lesson Oscar!
I've been doing music for a long time, but I know I will still learn something from any Underdog episode.

This comment is to show you some love !
Hello algorithm!
Nice vid dude
Cool
FANTASTIC
So create the chord progression, then structure the bassline, melody, and drums to match/compliment, the progression!.🤔⛳️
Bro thank you. I’ve been struggling to understand chord progression and how it applies to music. But this really helps.
FOR THE ALGORITHM, but also for the channel.
The Face the Sun track is using the same chord progression as Richard Durand's "Into Something" and I love it.
Had it on repeat for the past 12 hours, good stuff.
That's what I need to improve my production skills, more of this please

wait a second. are those... shrimpy boys?!
There are videos with 10x more views on the same topic and none of them make any sense. This one explains it so well.
😮 From Nigeria, l say a big thanks.❤
Thanks bro beep boop algorithm bot says it likes your energy!
Excellent content, looking forward to seeing the rest of the chord tutorial! Great work
I always appreciate you excellent videos. Well produced, straight to the point, informative and easy to follow. Keep it up.
Leaving a comment to show the channel and one of the best teachers lots of love : ) Eat this, algorithm.
Great tutorial on chord progression!
Thanks, past and present Oscar. Look forward to watching what future Oscar has to share about emotions

I've just watched that video in his course (Foundation of Electronic Music). I think he moved it from YT to the course.

Thank you Oscar :)
Genius guy. Ty❤️

And the best content for music production imaginable

Great video, great examples, clear explanation, wonderful.
I remember the day i saw that video and have readed coments about or even comented: nice jacket lmao
😄😄😄🤍 i had to bring it back…

amazing
Tof hé 👌❤
Your content is so damn positive. I love it, Oscar. Keep being the change, man
Hey Oscar, I just wanted to show some love for the algorithm!

Just love your energy and vibe❤️✨ thank you for such amazing informational videos, really appreciate it. Btw nice tshirt 🫀
Oscar, Loving your work. Keep it coming baby!
This was really helpful for me, I thought chord progressions were just something you'd put on a background pad and ignore otherwise
Really enjoy your videos! I appreciate them!
Just got a new pair of headphones and a field recorder, perfect time for an Underdog upload! Thank you Oscar!
Hey Oscar, can you do a video about key changes, specially in breakdowns/bridges before drops, to create a particular emotion and how it can be used?
❤️❤️🌹🌹
01:11 😁😁😁 amazing! Well... to be fair is a nice jacket 😉❤️
Thanks Oscar! I bought a Roland J-6 chord synthesizer to help me to create chord progressions and I can live record these in my Elektron sequencers via midi. Totally worth the money in my case. Also great for dub techno.
Time travel can be so confusing...
Excellent very instructive video as always Oscar
Once again, quality content. Thanks 🔥
Excellent video again, thank you. I'm an eternal beginner and your videos are so inspiring. Your explanations are clear and you share a nice energy. Keep going!
I'll wait for the next chapter on chord progresson 😎
These videos are amazing! Thanks so much for putting all this out there. My non-musician brain appreciates it.
Another great video by Oscar. Your videos keep getting better. Plus you have that great teaching style.
Thank you Oscar ! Very good video , chords are very important in music even in techno and trance !
Leaving a comment to show you some love :D
The progressions are harder to hear in the house examples
Keep ‘em coming Oscar. Lovin it
Loving your energy and knowledge ❤
Huh, unlike Hobo, you didn't mess up the DnB part. Thumbs up for that.
