      MangoldProject what would be cool is taking the same chords and showing multiple ways to make use of those chords (or taking a melody and showing the multiple ways to harmonize it), by applying different rhythms, harmonic context, and melody, etc. I think that would really give insight on the many directions you can take chords..

    I play in an 80s New Wave tribute and these chord voicings sound great. Definitely give you the feel of that era. Just ad a string pad like you did, or a CS80 or DX7 and your good to go. Thank you for sharing.

    This was great !! I especially like major 7ths, 2nds, sus4, occasionally a 6th.
    There's this thing about lingering notes that stay on a little longer than normal. But I'm not sure what to call it.
    Also, there can sometimes be a time-forward note, that comes in a little early, in anticipation of the next chord. But I'm not sure what to call that either.

    id love to see more of this style tutorial possibly with a few explanations/general guidelines on when to use added voices/suspensions and how they generally resolve. i am familiar with basic common practice voicing techniques and chord progressions, but when it comes to these more sophisticated voicings, its all trial and error and going by ear for me. also, what is that lovely chorus sound?:)

I want to learn more and more! I want to compose for an RPG but synthwave wont come in much hand now.. because its medieval theme,but later on another chapter i will introduce futuristic theme and them synthwave will come on hand great as a glove 😁

  • @robbelliii
    @robbelliii Год назад

    These chords sound great especially when played in this context, solo. In a band these complex chords are not required, they will be lost in the mix. The 80s were a simpler time. Not many knew these fancy “jazz chords” back then. I grew up playing in bands and was born in 71 so ask Mr how I know.

    • @MangoldProject
      @MangoldProject  Год назад

      Fair enough - sometimes simplicity is called for. This depends on what else is present in the mix.

    Hello. I enjoyed this video. This is the very first time that IU have watched one of your videos. Would you be kind enough to tell me where you get your sound from, for the chords you were playing and the Bass sound that you were playing as well. Your music sounds were wonderful to listen to. I absolutely love the sound that you used in this video and would love to acquirer some of those sounds. They were very soothing sounds. I want to thank you for making this video and introducing me to some of these sounds. I wish you continued success with your future videos and musical projects. I also wish you continued success financially as well. Have a wonderful day and week. Please keep making beautiful music.

    • @MangoldProject

      I think in this video those sounds were all stock RD700GX piano sounds. They are by no means special. Any half-decent subtractive synthesizer will give you these sounds and much more (hardware or software).

    Is it your software that show the chord or is it a footage ? It's soft and clean !

    • @MangoldProject
      @MangoldProject  2 года назад

      People aren't as creative as you think they are. Chord progressions repeat themselves across songs in many different ways and variations. The best way is to sit down and play/transcribe existing songs that you like and look for these patterns. Maybe I'll do a video on this at some point.
      The other thing you need to learn is thinking in terms of degrees rather than absolute chords. Try watching this video of mine:
