  • I talk about what a key is in music and why this is helpful to know. I'm not normally big on learning music theory, but understanding chord families and the "key" will help tremendously.

    This was an exceptional video. I've been playing for over 4 years now and haven't ever looked into music theory. Now that I've begun writing its been hard to find a video that explained keys well. Thank you!

    I'm 50 years old and new to guitar, and I started off this video thinking "I'm never going to understand this", and low and behold by the end of the video it actually kinda started to make sense to me. Now I understand why so many songs basically use a lot of the same chords. Thank you!

  • @karlbriggs374
    @karlbriggs374 2 года назад +1

    Hey mate might seem like a silly question but does playing in the key of E mean you start on E or playing in the key ofA mean the first note is will be A Or the key of G mean the first note is a G?

  • @outspan87
    @outspan87 Год назад +1

    Thanks for the explanation! I just don't understand why in the second example of G, the F is sharp?

    • @TomasMichaud
      @TomasMichaud  Год назад +1

      It's a G scale, and in the key of G the F is sharp. For Major scales, the formula for a major scale is as follows: W-W-H-W-W-W-H (W=whole step), (H = half step). so that last interval between the F and G, in order to make that a half-step, the F must be sharped. Here is a blog post I did on this topic. www.tomasmichaud.com/major-scale-theory/

  • @horsesforheaven
    @horsesforheaven Год назад +1

    This is a great video and has been super helpful! I do have one question though; if you have a song that's in, say, the key of c, does that mean the song also must start with c as the first note?

    • @TomasMichaud
      @TomasMichaud  Год назад

      It can start with any note in the key of C. But typically for songs the root chord of the key of C, the C chord is typically the first chord.
