You're really the best teacher in everything music...
I agree. There's no one like Rick out there, with such a level of knowledge in so many aspects of music, throughout so many genres and styles.
I agree @Nahre Sol!!
Rick, this is hands down the best explanation of this concept I've seen. Thank you so much!
Ditto!
I agree
Yes. Because you place it in context, with clear diagrams.
mirror image:
if i write C-E-G on paper and put it in the mirror, it will never give me what Nick is describing nor what Collier described. it will ONLY give me G-E-C everytime.
Therefore true Negative harmony, has a huuuge degree of inelegance because its asking you to give equal prominence to it(N.H.) as you give to Harmony.
Its always a "Bookends" battle.
"HARMONY wants to call C-E-G
C major and Negative Harmony wants to call that same exact chord G minor.
But since our minds are so engrained with the influence of left to right syntactical bias,
we can only refer to C-E-G read right to left as,
"G minor right to left harmony,
or "G minor Negative Harmony,
or if you're from Alabama
G ass-backards minor.
that's not how it works guudii 😂
If you watch this backwards its exactly the same
If I watch this video backwards will my head miraculously reassemble itself?

hahaha
Bravo!
Yes but it will only be a reflective mirror image and you'll have to change your name to palindrome
This makes more sense re negative harmony than anything else I've seen....as always Rick, you're a great teacher, Cheers!
I think is the most interesting video you've done so far. Keep up the good work, Rick!
Student composer and theory teacher here, been massively helped by your videos. Even with topics I already understand I'll always pick something up.
This is brilliant, Rick, thanks! I've never seen all this presented so succinctly in one place.
Your inclusion of the mirror image modes and the possibilities of their use with negative harmony options is excellent. All round very clear and concise explanation. My favourite out of the ten I've seen so far on RUclips. Notes taken! Thank you.
Thank you for the live update. It's a little ironic that I study jazz and rythems and blues in the tremé in new Orleans yet I'm pretty positive 75% of my studies lately come from your channel (pleural now! Grateful for the live) thanks a million man for not dumbing down lessons and making us keep up!
Thank you for the clearest explanation I have found on negative harmony. Concise, articulate and understandable. I appreciate your work and desire to share the knowledge.
Rick, you simply are one of the best Music Educators out there!
I have heard this in my ear in music before, but I didn't recognize the inverted harmony. This is a major musical concept I didn't know. Definitely one of the best videos you have posted yet! Good luck with your new YT channel.
Rick, this is by far my favorite video lesson of yours so far! Really got me thinking.
great work! Needed this video! I share all these videos with my son, as he is learning the theory now in high school that I have forgotten since college a billion years ago. Your videos help us both, as he is an aspiring Jazz trombonist, and an all county concert Euphonium player. APPRECIATE YOUR HARD WORK on this! Thanks again!
i had ended music school yrs ago, im so happy to hear aliquotes again, great work, please dont stop.
Rick I'm really surprised how much I've learned just watching your videos. I use to know practically nothing about music theory but now I've been watching your work here, I actually feel confident I have a decent foundation. Now I just need to train my ears... Oh your working on that too. Thanks sir!
watched 4 youtube videos on negative harmony before this one. you are the first to explain that the concept is based on opposite or 'undertones" . this explaination is simple and the concept was immediatley understood. thx
Touchè! You finally adressed this issue. One of the best videos! You have lot of ability to teach!
Thanks.
Watching your videos, along with Neely's and Levin's made me start studying music theory with much excitement. Thanks a lot!
Wow! This lesson illuminated chord progressions that I have heard in movie and television soundtracks. Also, in Bartok, who has always mystified me. Great stuff, Rick!
Your ability to simplify concepts is amazing.
Rick. You are an amazing teacher providing the logic behind every aspect of music
Great video! Wish I had this a few months ago lol. The thing I like about negative harmony is that its a relatively easy way to explore modes and song ideas without drastically altering the aesthetic and voice leading of the music.
This is the best explanation on negative harmony I’ve found so far. Congrats!
When you drew the circle of fifths made it so clear to me how to find the negative equivalent. Thank you Rick
Dude... Thank you for gifting us with life changing musical information on the regular.
Agreeing with Jamsville, best explanation of this concept I've come across thus far. It's after all not that hard, but there is tendency to clutter it up. Thanks for a great video Rick !
You blow my mind every time I watch one of your videos. Superb content Mr. Beato
Great lesson Mr. Rick.
This is the best harmony lesson i've seen on youtube.
Much love & respect from srilanka
❤🙏
Rick Beato is the best teacher I have known.
Okay, your live video got me to watch this! I'm 47 and always learning and always will be! I learn from you bro, you are a great teacher, my friend!
Absolutely fascinating. I’ve been a musician for decades and never come across these concepts before. I just tried to share this with my wife and she just about ran away screaming. I guess all this theory isn’t for everyone, but I’m loving this! Thanks Rick!
I was in the middle of watching another video on this subject and I saw the thumbnail for this one. I instantly ditched it for Rick's video, you know your going to get the truth. That's how good this channel is its soo obvious Rick really knows what he is talking about.
Certainly one of your best lessons Rick. I think people really need to play around with these chords on a piano to get the sound in their heads. All of this is wonderful, but unless people are hearing these particular sounds before they execute it out on their instruments, it's probably too abstract a concept for most people. However, that goes with everything dealing with language and ideas.
This is absolutely fascinating. "Mirror Modal equivalents" is covered in the Beato book (I've 4.0), pages 100-102, the last 3 pages of ch.1
This video and Adam Neelys "Why is Major 'Happy' " along with Adam's unlisted bonus video included in that video are amazing.
Thanks a lot God of music theory, I watched 3 videos before seeing yours to fully comprehend how negative harmony is applied, when you referenced using the circle of fifths to find the negative harmony of each note, my mind fully understood in that second. You're a brilliant teacher and your ways of teaching are so pleasing to hear and watch, thanks for being my auto corrector when it comes to music ❤️
Great stuff. Makes you look at (and hear) music in a different way. Thanks for posting.
Wow, this lesson is awesome! I'm researching on orchestral composition and I didn't even know this video would be so informative on the matter. I usually put some of your videos on my watch list and this one just happened to be exactly what I needed at the moment! Thanks! And greetings from Brazil!
My friend has never heard of this and says it sounds like a weird, cool concept. Says they like your videos a lot and wish you did more in depth videos like this. Keep up the good work!
Absolutely Excellent explanation. You are a great Teacher, Rick!
I paused and got a guitar out and mixed Ionian and Phrygian in a call and response making sure to resolve the Phrygian phrase to the Ionian mode. It’s a exotic sound. Thank you!
GRACIAS DESDE ARGENTINA!!! Muy buena explicación. Saludos!!!
Awesome vídeo, Rick. Please, do anoter videos, maybe a serie, teaching and giving exemples of negative harmony being used in a pratical way. I love your channel
Thank you Rick for this amazing explanation of a seemingly distant and far out concept! Loved the video
As soon as you mentioned modes I better understood what you were on about. I had looked into modes and intervals many years but had all but forgotten about it. Thanks. I have some ideas I can work on now.
Hands down, the best explanation of this concept. I get it! Thank you. Would you please do a series on this subject, and give real-world chord-progression advice based on these principles?
Now I am really interested in hearing you apply it in your brilliant own style actually.
truly fascinating and unique sound.. definitely using this in my uni composition, thanks Rick!
Thanks Rick, I think I actually understand it! You are hands down, the best!
Thankyou Rick, this clarified my hazy understanding of negative harmony.
Amazing, clear explanation and examples!
Brilliant 👏. Most videos on negative harmony make it difficult to understand. Thank you for making things simple.
To the point. Hard hitting
And brilliant data.
Love your work. You rock.
Awesome as always Rick!
Love being a sub here Rick! Your channel is killin man! Keep up the awesome content!
Mirror modal equivalents. I discovered this on my own. This is the first time I have ever heard of this anywhere outside of my own discovery. I use this idea, coupled with some others, to teach modes.
This is the explanation I have been looking for. Thank you!
I never knew there was so much complexity to this concept. Thanks for the great vid
Finally understood negative harmony. Thank you Rick, you are the best
Best explanation on this topic so far! Thanks
The circle of fifths explanation is truly brilliant! 10/10!
I've been saving a couple of these for a quiet evening... good one!
Thank you for this Rick!! I've enjoyed other videos of yours but this one made me a fan for life-liked, subscribed, all in. Excellent explanation with just the right level of detail-clarified but not oversimplified, comprehensive but not over explained, and many open avenues to explore. Did the Beatles come up with those great color chords at random? Maybe, but now I know why they work and where they breed. Roll over Thelonius Monk!
Im making notes, really enjoy watching you explain with the white board. i believe i should re -watch the vid and re-write notes in reverse. Thank you, your lessons are brill!
Fantastic video, straight to the point and you explained this interesting topic very well. Thank you
Excellent, thanks! You make it easy to understand, and I appreciate that so much!
I had to rewatch this several times but i finally understood! Ty so much!!!
Excellent presentation Rick; much appreciated.
Great Job Rick. Thank you.
Really interesting and inspiring! You gave me some new composing idea!
Thank you Rick! Amazing insight into negative harmony!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video Rick. So many similarities... I too ran the gambit of Music scenes, and bands, 25 years of playing 5-6 nights a week and getting good traction, to just have it go poof... Numerous times. Back in Austin, myself for the second time...same as it ever was. I need to find my "Atlanta". Hell I'm 60 years old already. Damn... not giving up.
The interesting thing is, the "negative harmony" version of any diatonic chord in a major key is a chord borrowed from the parallel minor key.
In other words, the concepts of negative harmony and modal interchange are very closely related!
I know what you mean. The unique quality of negatove harmony is in the voicings you will discover, and therefore hopefully new melodic ideas
Hit the thumbs-down by accident. Sorry about that ..
Mr. Z No it's because Rick assumed that Cm is the "negative" (😷😖😷) of C, which is an arbitrary assumption with no acoustical/mathematical basis whatsoever.
Very informative. Thanks Rick!
Seeing it explained via circle of 5th's vs. backward circle of 4ths blew my mind!
You have a great way of breaking down complex topics succinctly. I hope Berklee and Juilliard get in a bidding war for you.
That's a great video on negative harmony. Never thought about it that way. How about a video on reharmonizing an actual song with negative harmony. Maybe one that it not just diatonic and a little more complex. That would be a treat! Thanks for all the work and effort you put in your videos giving so much precious knowledge away for free. Love it.
Thank you for the very interesting and informative short and concise video..!
Thank you so much for this video it's been very insightful and is answered all the questions actually that I was asking about negative Harmony
Really fascinating stuff -- would love to see a video going deeper into the concept.
Loved it! And very clear explanation, thank you. Francesco from Italy
Great info, great presentation - thanks Rick!
Rick, I hope you get to see this, even though this video is quite old. Your videos are helping me A LOT with learning music.
Your channel is like a FAQ section. Any doubt that I might have is already solved in a video, broken down, analyzed and put in a didactic way.
I just wanted to thank you for giving out all this priceless content for free. To put it simple, it's fantastic.
Greetings Rick from Amman, Jordan. Excellent video. Very clear and concise explanation. Can't wait to go and experiment with this a little. Thank you !
Thanks so much Rick for your clear explanations. Now this all makes sense to me.
I love this channel and I'm this much closer to order your theory book.
The harmonic series as described is very useful for pretty much most situations... then clarinets come around and throw it all off with their harmonic series built around the 12th instead of the octave. This niche topic may actually be a topic worth exploring at some point -- compare and contrast a clarinet choir and a saxophone choir playing the same piece. I daresay that the saxophone choir will 'blend' better with itself than the clarinets will, to say nothing of how much 'presence' the low clarinets contribute (and, being a bass and contraalto/bass clarinetist, strong presence can make a huge difference in a clarinet ensemble or wind orchestra; most low clarinets players are too... timid).
For the most part, composers and arrangers need only worry about the mainstream harmonic series, but special consideration does need to be taken once clarinets come in; for the most part, it's negligible, particularly orchestrally (Eb, 2 Bb, Bass at most), but it does need mentioning.
Excellent explanation! This is so far the best video I have seen on explaining negative harmony, thanks so much for sharing ! One thing: minute 7:22, the video says D- /Ab, but it is actually D- over Eb.
That was terrific! Thanks a lot Rick.
Great explanation Rick.
it gets complicated then it gets simple again...Thank You very much!!!
Very informative, Rick!
Thanks Rick you just simplified negative Harmony for me
This is gold! I’m starting work on a piece where I need to know this information. Thank you so much for your clear explanation of the theory. (So much for being a rebellious guitar student so many years ago & not learning the modes 😮😂)
Good stuff. Thanks Rick!
I bet that’s why Dorian feels so modal. Great vid!
Nice explanation. It could be added that, just as every chord and note have their mirror negative images, you can play the negative version of a song by substituting both the chords and the melody by their negative equivalents. Steve Cruickshank has done many songs in this way (they're on YT), and the results are often quite nice.
Most straight forward on the subject thnx
i love theory and had never heard of this, i am still digesting it, thanks!
Great explanation, thanks.
