Priceless. I'm nearly there with the circle in memory. I never expected at my age (almost 65) someone would help me overcome my fear of music theory !
same here. I'm 61. Trying to teach myself the Mandolin.. This channel has helped me immensely. Thank you so much ..
Me too. I'm 63. Just sign up a music lesson to learn music theory. Guess I can still make use of my brain after all. ,,,Without Grace teaching lessons, I will drop my class. Grace is an excellent teacher and she is a 💎.
I am 66, and still learning from this lovely lady..
She's great isn't she?? I'm 55 and picking it back up after a long hiatus. I never had a good grasp on theory, but she's definitely helped clear this all up better than anyone else I have spoke to, or watched!
Same here. I'm 65.
Please Gracie can you start music theory series, Please, Why, Because you Teach so Beautifully, Please
Yes I plan on posting a lot more music theory videos! Thanks so much :)
@@GracieTerzian Thank you so much
@@GracieTerzian YES YES YES omg OooOoOOoOo Gracie YES !!!
I can't wait to see more of your instructional videos, you make me look forward to studies !
@@santoshgujar5237 Let's form a Gracie fan club ...are you in ???
@@GracieTerzian looking forward for that thanks
Excellent teacher.
Thank you! 😃
@@GracieTerzian thank you so much Gracie....i learned a lot from your lessons,it really widens my music theory knowledge...btw,what will gonna be the chords in the relative minor key??will it start to a minor??i'm a little confuse about this one..again thank you...hopefully you can clarify this if you have time.😊
I've had several people try to explain music theory to me, but I could never quite get it. That is until I found your channel. Thanks for teaching it in a way that I can actually understand it. You're a great teacher, Gracie!
I'm so glad to hear that!! :) Thank you so much, Geoff!
Just hit the subscribe button and what a wonderful channel you've created! You explain hardest music theory stuff the way that at the end of each video, everything seems like a piece of cake and is fully understood! Great job! And thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
What a great discovery this channel has been.
Beautiful music and excellent music theory teaching.
A gentle request/suggestion: in addition to chord relationships in a key (scale harmonisation I think?), as requested by another commenter, it would be wonderful to have Gracie's take on simple modulations to other keys, or middle 8s, etc. when songwriting.
Great suggestions!! Thank you so much!! :)
I am also an ex-professional ballet dancer as well as being a musician. I have had many, many, many different teachers over the years. One thing I have always believed is that a good teacher can take an otherwise obscure idea and explain it in such a way that the student gets it. One teacher can "explain" things one way, another can "explain" the SAME THING in a different way. And then one teacher comes along and explains it in a way that makes the light bulb go on.
That is very true!!
I prefer watching your videos Ma'am Gracie. Your way of explaning everything was so systematic and I was able to digest the whole video and to apply it whenever I practise playing guitar. I already did watch your previous video about circle of 4ths and fifths; it was simpler yet I was able to to grasp and understand the whole concept of it, dissimilar to other videos I had watched, they were all perplexing for me. I'm hoping to see this kind of videos of you in the future to help me and others to improve way we play our instruments and most importantly upgrade the level of our knowledge about these concepts.. Thank you so much..
Hey, thanks for making this easy. I play with a group of self taught musicians. They know what to do, just not why they do it. I use the information from your videos to help explain the theory behind the music. It helps me have a better understanding and all the others think I am some sort of musical genius/nerd. Don't worry, I give you all the credit.
Hahaha I love it!! That's awesome :) Thank you for your nice comment. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Gracie....really appreciate two things 1) Your "side note" comments 2) you taking the time in post production to speed up certain parts (and keeping them in the video) Thanks, you earned a sub
Aw thanks so much for subscribing! and I'm so glad you enjoyed the video :)
if you would do something like this for the MODES... that would be AWESOME!!!
Good suggestion! Thanks!
Well said Kenneth, I was going to suggest the same! All I'd add to your suggestion is a tutorial on how to use modes in practice, as well as a theoretical video :)
Anthony Wellington did a long video on a simple technique called MILLPAD. He used a 7 string bass, but the technique should transfer to other instruments as well (YMMV).
F# minor is the natural minor of the A major scale aka Aeolian mode. If you, for instance, begin the scale and keep it as home base for you progression on the D of the A major scale you would be playing whats known as the D lydian. If you know your intervals, each interval is associated with its own particular mode. More importantly is understanding and associating these modes to the tonal qualities they all offer. Not to mention the modes of more exotic or complex scales like the double harmonic major. Its a rather simple, not easy, concept. Good luck, and continue learning!
Fantastic teacher thank you
Is music really this easy to learn? It feels like I've learned a ton in a short period. Or maybe it's just that you're a great teacher? Could the next video be a lesson on chord relationships within a key?
Yes I was actually planning on making a video about this very soon... so stay tuned!
Yes...more porridge please...!
@@GracieTerzian We are subscribed and I am tuned lol Yes, can't wait ... I never thought that I would look forward to learning music theory but you make learning easy & fun !!!
@@beaniedfloetree353 Gracie is the prettiest instructor on the internet, isn't she :)
I'm ready for more lessons too !
We are blessed to have such a smart and beautiful instructor aren't we ?
Literally the only person who has ever explained this in a way I could understand, genius.keep up the fantastic work.
Thank you so much! so happy to hear this :)
lady, you are great, and a great teacher, clear, concise and you stay on target without digression
thank you so much!
I truly have learned the most from you than anybody else! It is so easy to listen and absorb everything you are teaching! Thank you so much! New subscriber! SLc, Ut!
Aw thank you so much! That makes me so happy to hear!! :)
@@GracieTerzian Yeah you are welcome and i have watched the lessen on the, (Order of sharps and flats), like 8 times, and Ive written it out like 6 times! And Im planning on watching that lessen probably 8 or more times and writing it down just as many haha! Im so happy i learned that from you, you explained it like you where the creator!
@@jasonlemon4491 You know it ... she really knows what she's doing and is extremely talented, have you heard her music too? I find learning from her to be inspirational on so many levels. I wonder if anyone else is jumping up in the morning excited to learn music theory. LOL
I'm thinking of starting a fan club, are you on board ?
@@michaelsmusic3532 Yeah sure..
Where have you been hiding all my life, I could have progressed so much further years ago if you were in my life.
Of course you were probably not even a thought from your parents minds back years ago when I could have learned something about music theory. I actually learnt relative minors back in the mid 80s from a keyboard player I was in a band with in Germany. He was an amazing musician and really helped me to have an appreciation for theory as a means to communicate with other musicians. You on the other hand just explain it so easily to understand. That the ah-ha moments are almost overwhelming. And this all leads into modes and intervals as well...
Thank You...
Aw thank you so much Greg!! What a nice comment. I'm so glad to hear that you're having "ah-ha" moments - those are the best!!
Thank you for the encouraging words at the end. it really helps with my motivation. you are an awesome teacher and I'm excited to check out more of your lessons :)
Thank you so much Katie! I really appreciate your sweet comment and I’m so glad you liked the video :)
I already listened to Gracie's Circle of Fifth lesson and had to do this one as well. Gracie is a gifted teacher. She also has a fantastic voice. Thank you sooooo much. Keep the lessons coming!!!
Thank you so much George!!! I really appreciate your nice comment and I will definitely keep the lessons coming!
This is great stuff. You have an amazing talent for teaching. Subscribed!
Thanks so much for subscribing! and so glad you liked the video :)
I found your Circle of fifths video and found it very, very clear and easy to understand. Then this video. Please keep making videos on music theory. You're two for two with me. I like your way of explaining things.
Hi Henry! I'm so pleased to hear you enjoyed both videos and found them clear and easy to understand! I will definitely be posting more music theory videos, so stay tuned... :)
Perhaps a video on intervals? I think it's something quite fundamental to music, minor thirds, major thirds, perfect fifths, etc.
Good job on this video Gracie! :)
Great suggestion!
I agree. Intervals would be great. It would also help on the guitar (but I don't know if she does any lessons on guitar).
Thank you so much for keeping this little bit of theory simple. A lot of other so-called Guitar Teacher’s on RUclips go to fast and somehow consciously or not are doing it or most people can’t understand what the heck you’re talking about. Thank you again.
So happy to hear you find my explanations simple! That's how it should be! Thank you for your kind words - I really appreciate it
Gracie
I absolutely LOVE your channel, you present information in a very clear and direct way that is easily understood by myself fragile little mind. Having such a BEAUTIFUL and talented teacher makes my music theory lessons something I look forward to every day !!!
Thank you for sharing all your hard work.
VERY Sincerely,
Michael
your #1 fan !!!
Aw thank you so much Michael! You are too kind!!
@@GracieTerzianThe pleasure is all mine Gracie.
You have just unlocked the Circle of 5ths mystery for me! Thank you so much! Looking forward to the chord relationships lesson!
Kept it sooo simple.. easy to memorise.. rather... visualise... it reqs a bit of repetition in viewing.. but super. Thks, cheers, Vernon Alvares, Mumbai, India
Gracie best ever explanation .... thank you so much
Thank you so much!!
All my guitarist a trick is find your Major key root on A String then go up a Whole Step on the E String and there’s your relative minor 🤩 that’s an easy way I visualize it quickly
Ngl, ur probably not gonna see this, but... i just wanna say THANK YOU ALOT FOR THIS😭😭🙏🏻🙏🏻, i have a music theory test that i have to finish tomorrow, and i had no clue what i was doing.. you fr just saved me. Thank you again.
I'm so happy to hear that!! Good luck on that test!!!!
Hey Gracie! I am an adult beginner piano student of 3 years. I lost my best piano teacher to health issues. I’m not happy w/ my second teacher. Can u suggest a good piano book for me to learn on my own?? I would hate to lose my skills thus far….
Yes! This was VERY helpful! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Subscribed! Gonna learn them all! Thanks!
Incredibly helpful Gracie, thanks.
So glad it was helpful! Thanks so much
So you answered my question in relation to how/why the C flat exists in regard to the B.
I’d love to see you do this with the modes. Your a really good teacher. I’ve been struggling with this for years because of bad teachers pretending to know. The lightbulb is on now thanks to you. 🎸🎶
Yes I will be making a video about modes eventually, so stay tuned... :) Thank you so much for your comment!
@@GracieTerzian MODES MODES MODES !!! Gracie teaching modes !!!
( I'm forming a cyber-cheering section on the sidelines here )
I’ve actually found a Phrygian Motif that I’m making into a Song. I have recorded the riff but it’s limited with what I’m doing
repeating the same things. At this point this makes me guilty of musical malpractice. I will be adding as I learn. I’m also writing a lyric. I’ve been extremely verbose so I’m chopping it as well. I wish we had RUclips I was a kid growing up.
@@GracieTerzian You're too cool Gracie 😍 seriously appreciate everything you do, you're an Angel
@@joellewis2855 Try using polymodal chromatism ... big ads words simply meaning to mix the phrygian with other modes or scales. IE: using parallel modes across one tonic.
Does that help any ?
Gracie ~
You're the Bomb.
Love these 🌱🌻.🌷🍃
Nicely done, I’ve watched a few of your videos now and really appreciate them. You get a subscribe, thumbs up, and a bell ring from me!
Wow thanks so much Andy! I really really appreciate it! :)
I'm a sub that gave her a thumbs up and she rang my bell
First Comment!!! I love all your videos!!
Thank you! :)
So do I ... let's organize a fan club !!!
Always interesting. Very easy to follow what you are teaching.
Glad you think so! Thank you!
Thank you for this. It’s really helpful.
How do you apply scales to writing chord progressions?
I will be posting a video sometime in the next few weeks about chord progressions and scales, and it will hopefully answer this question! If it doesn't, let me know more specifically, and I'll try my best to make a video that does answer you :)
@@GracieTerzian Maybe a dumb question.? /what do you mean when you say "play the notes over the chords? does that mean you can play any notes contained in the key on any given chord? or just the notes in that particular chord? or am I way off the mark ?
You make theory actually interesting and you help put the puzzle pieces together. I rewatch your videos to get it to sink in. I appreciate how you speak to your audience like we were sitting there with you. And you are personable in how you explain. Thanks so much!
Thank'sj Gracie !
Well Teach.
Thank you!
I love your explanations of the Circle of Fifths, as well as how to find the minor keys! Thanks for making this available!!
You're very welcome! So glad it was helpful!
Hi Ms. Gracie, Thank you for all you do. Your style of teaching is very helpful for someone that picked up learning guitar for therapy for battling cancer. I really appreciate You!
Thank you
Hello Rogelio! I'm so glad you found the video helpful. I am sending all of my love and well wishes to you right now as you battle cancer, and am praying for your improved health. Thank you very much for taking the time to write such a nice comment - it means a lot to hear that you enjoyed the video.
@@GracieTerzian hi Ms. Gracie, you are so welcome. Appreciate the prayers. I pray for your continued success as a teacher & a you tuber. Im your student for life. Thank you & I really appreciate You.
By far your explanations are the best on RUclips!
Thank you so much!!!
@@GracieTerzian More than welcome!
THANK YOU GRACIE. Very informative & enjoyable. Keep it up. CHEERS. Sydney , N.S. Canada
Thank you so much! Much appreciated.
I do not learn minor keys but only look at the beautiful girl.
Thank you Gracie for simplifying critical must know forms of music structure .
THANK YOU! A lot of teachers could learn from you!
Aw thanks so much Lindsay! Means a lot!
Hit the nail on the head there Lindsay, I'm a teacher but also a student. Gracie's my fave instructor :)
@@michaelsmusic3532 Right! I am actually looking forward to theory vids finally! ha!
14:11 If a teacher don't want you to get confused, that's a GOOD teacher. Thanks Gracie.
Your videos are really useful for beginners like me.
May I ask a quick question here: If I'm working in Cmajor scale, can I use some notes in chord progressions outside Cmajor scale?
Say I play D - G - C, there's a F# in D, so what scale I'm in? I can't find answers about this.
It depends on melody or chords?
Hey Alex! Yes you can definitely use notes and chords outside of the key :). We do that all the time in music. As long as it sounds good, it's cool :). We learn about the chords and notes inside of keys so we can understand how they're functioning because we can use it to our advantage... but the sky is the limit. And most songs don't stay within the key the entire time. Songs temporarily go to other keys all the time. So don't restrict yourself :)
@@GracieTerzian Thanks for your time to typing those words Gracie :D I tried to learn music about 1 year ago and write some melody in DAWs, for a beginner, I think scales and modes are really fun, and also, a little confused. I Googled some questions about scales and modes, and most answers are like you just said: You can do whatever you want to. Does it means: the purpose of learning scales and modes is to break it? Because when I open my DAW, I realize change keys in a melody is not that easy, always feel wired, and if I stay in a key, feels right, but bluhbluh really gets boring sometime. Well I think there are too many I should learn.
Thanks again for your reply, have a nice day!
Very informative and easy to understand
Gracie, thanks so much for this. I’m back in school for an audio production degree. I was having trouble understanding how to build these relative minor scales. This video helped a lot. I’m about to watch your circle of fifths video also. Thanks again!
Thank you so much Nikki! I’m so glad you found the video helpful and I hope you like the circle of 5ths one helpful too! Good luck on your music journey and getting your audio production degree - how cool!! Keep up the great work :)
Outstanding job.
After 60 yrs I think I’ve got it now.🤓
Yay!! That's what I like to hear :)
Or play off the 6th scale degree of the major scale as the tonic. I tend to see every scale through a minor lens. I started playing guitar as a child of late 80's metal/hard rock and I obviously was exposed to Aeolian early on. As a result, I see the fretboard in Aeolian. F Lydian, for example, to me is A Aeolian. When I'm playing E Mixolydian or G Phrygian I see F# Aeolian and C Aeolian. It's interesting how the mind remembers patterns. Great lesson!
All the best from the Bay Area.
MK
That's pretty interesting! I love to hear about this kind of stuff. Thanks for sharing :)
Gracie I love your videos. I wish they had more of an auditory element to them for putting ear training to the theory. (As your speaking and writing) I’ve been playing along to absorb the sound with the ideas. Obviously it’s difficult to concentrate your energy on both elements at the same time. And these videos are truly great as they are.
Ah yes I wish so too. I will work more on adding more auditory elements. Sometimes it's hard to get both elements into the same video a lot, but I'll keep trying! Thank you for the feedback I appreciate it!
I wish had you as my tutor in college...I would have been the Valevictorian of my class! Lol! You explain it so clearly! Cheers, and thanks!
Aww thank you so much! I'm glad you found it helpful!
She's one of the most talented instructors that I've ever had the pleasure of getting lernt gooder from !
This video has the highest ‘like’ ratio I’ve ever seen.
It's obviously because everyone now understands music theory, and not because of anything to do with amazing auburn hair and super-cuteness, jus sayin' *"hits like & subscribe"
I just HAD to click "like" on your comment lol
Excellent video, thank you very much!
I just have a quick question, are the notes in the relative minor scale ALWAYS the same as those in the major scale?
Yep! Relative scales always have the same notes in them :)
great. thank you. a small request if you don.t mind. it would be great to do a video on scale/fingering - left and right hand. on the piano of course. It would be practical since we are on the subject of scales. What do you think? I know some of my students are having a hard time assigning which finger goes with what note on specific keys. I usually write the fingering on the staff above the note. Maybe I am teaching it wrong. You're help would be greatly appreciated. Now I can refer them to your video.
That's a good suggestion Jim! I will try to make this. Thanks so much :)
Do you give lessons? I play uke too and I’ve reached a dead end in my learning so I need to get some proper theory lessons.
I do! Email me at Contact@UkulalaWorld.com
Hi lady. I just come across your channel after watching 2 of your fantastic lessons I like and subscribe. You are a fantastic teacher. Thank you so much.
Thanks for subbing! I really appreciate it. And thanks for taking the time to write this nice comment. Glad you enjoyed the lessons :)
hey...thanx for overcome my anxiety and when i saw ur videos..i dont feel lonely.... i feel u talk to me and ur beautiful eyes talk to me.... ur personality is so real. and ur voice tone make me feel comfotable....i learn music from u but i also learn communication skill. u r best tutor
Aww thank you so much!! What a kind and thoughtful comment... I am speechless! Thank you!!
You are a really good teacher. Music theory is usually avoided if at all possible. You show just how plain and easy most of it can be. Well done.👍🏼👌🏼😎
Thank you so much! What a nice thing to say
@@GracieTerzian You deserve it. I wish you had been around when I first started playing guitar. I initially thought I didn't need to know "music theory" thats kinda true up to a certain point, then its really important to have at least a basic understanding. So again, well done and please keep up the good work, its important for every budding musician.😎🎸
Where have you been ? U are an answer to prayer. Taking in all you are sharing. Now I am hoping to to take all you are teaching and put it together to start actually playing. Run into many who play but dont know how to teach . I am looking for info on how to learn fill ins. I know the formula but learning how to fill in or add to to give the song more character is the info I am looking for. I love to play but dont play often bcz from just the knowledge of scales, and formula I dont know how to put it all together to actually play and play good. Keep up the good work. Thank you!!!!
Thank you so much for your nice comment, Judith! Very much appreciated. That's a good idea for a video. I will try to do something on that topic later. In the meantime, as a fill, I'd say try to play some individual notes that are in the chord you are playing to get started.
Thank you. Just subscribed...
Welcome! And thanks so much :)
Well done! I understand better with your patient approach... long time guitar and ukulele player.
So glad to hear that!! :)
the videos are very beautiful as beautiful as the content of the creators. Thank you for the info👍👍
Thank you so much!
Hi Gracie, what an amazing skill to teach, calm great pace(not slow and not rush) enough time to hear and understand all you’ve said, thanks for sharing knowledge.
I'm so glad you found it helpful! Thank you very much for your kind comment :)
The way you teach is brilliant! Thank you. I'm new to learning how to read music and your explanation helped me a lot.
I don't understand the relationship between chord progressions and scales. If I change a chord does that mean I am changing the scale or am I only playing chords that live in a single scale?
This is a very difficult question to answer in a comment because there is so much to say when it comes to this subject. Chord progressions are a series of chords played in a certain order. Scales can be associated with specific chords, in the sense that you could play the notes in a certain scale over a certain chord. There are tons of different scales you could play over any given chord. The context of the chord in a chord progression can open other possibilities and change what notes from what scales you might play over it. Sometimes there are chord progressions where you can play notes from one scale over the entire chord progression and it will sound good. Other times, you might need or want to change the notes/scales you are playing when there is a chord change. Basically, in the question you asked, both scenarios could be correct and possible. I will try to address this in a video later because it’s a good question, just hard to explain in a comment.
So simplified thanks
Perfectly described, no no sense rambling.
So glad you think so! Thank you very much :)
You're so incredible awesome, I mean nobody explain better
Aw thank you so much!
RELATI VE, MELODIC AND HARMONIC MINORS .. along with double sharps and double flats as the scales increase. Good video
Minor is also called Aeolian mode, which is the 6 of the scale.
SO count back two from the root and there is the minor :
Yes that's right! :)
You're an awesome help. Thanks so much. You make learning fun & a bit easier.
Glad to hear it!
Thanks. Very clear explanation and it makes things fall into place.
Glad it was helpful!
Just found you. Thank you!
Fantastic. By far the best video I have seen. Such a clear explanation
Aw thank you so much! So glad you liked it.
PS will you be doing a video on common chord modulation/diatonic pivot chord modulation?
That's a great idea! I think first I need to make a video about basic diatonic chords, and then another one about diatonic chord modulation. Thanks for the suggestion!
Very easy to understand. I know some music theory but that makes things alot clearer
Great to hear! :)
You are the treasurer of the techniques.
Thank youuuuuuu.
Thank you!! :)
Yes more music theory videos. Intervals, modes,scales etc your circle of fifths was great. Never understood it in high school but now it's so easy to understand. ☺ thank you
So glad to hear it! :)
you provide clear information calmly and patiently. You are a great teacher. I see many messages from people who heard this info from others and it went in one ear and out the other. After 15 minutes I can use the info you've provided and understand why. That's fantastic. New subscriber here. You seem young and wise. I hope you have a very successful career doing whatever you'd like. Please say it's music! Thanks Gracie. I know this stuff instinctively on guitar but wanted to be able to express and transpose it to keyboards. Looks like I found my new guru.
Aw thank you so much Rich. What a kind and thoughtful comment you've left. It is very appreciated! Thank you for subscribing, and best of luck with your musical journey on keyboard. I hope you will continue to find my videos helpful as I make them!
I have a hard time to understand my music professor's lectures. Wow, not until I found you and keep watching and listening your method of teaching, I understand easily. I am proud to have a music teacher like you. I have subscribed and become the official member of Patreon. ☝️😊
Thank you so much, Flora!!! I really appreciate your support!!!
Actually music theory is driving me completely insane
You are filling in all the things I blanked out on last time I tried to learn this stuff. Thank you! Your simplified and slow form of teaching is really helping me retain the information. I can play scales and modes on the guitar all day, but I can't tell you a thing about what notes they are or why they sound good together.
Great to hear! :) thanks so much
I think if you taught the modes i might actually finally understand them
Woohoo :) I will make videos about modes soon
Please do a video on modes. You make music theory so simple. Thanks once more.
Thanks so much Issah! I plan on making a video about modes eventually, so stay tuned...
You have made the understanding of Circle of Fifths so easy. Thank you
You're very welcome!
Thank you Gracie. As a relative newcomer to guitar I’ve been looking for something like this to help me understand the major/minor relationship and you make it so clear. 🎉
You know it ... I think she's the best on youtube !
I play guitar also .....
Do you know of any other good music theory channels ?
~ Michael
@@Archangel_Michaels sorry for the delay - I've only just discovered how to find out if there are replies to my replies! No I don't really - this is such a good one that I haven't bothered looking too much.
Just awesome!!!
Thank you!
Rick Beato has competition lol thanks good teachings :)
Hahaha why thank you! I don't think that's true, but it's quite a compliment. :)
Hey! Thanks for being my theory teacher. I would be very interested in a video on transposing a song from one key to another. Example: Twinkle twinkle little star or Mary had a little lamb.
curious about chord progressions using the circle of 5ths ?
Maybe check out my video about diatonic chords? Here is a link: ruclips.net/video/HmvachZokyg/видео.html
Clear, concise and trustworthy information. Excellent lesson!
Glad you enjoyed it! thank you :)
Hey!
This is awesum, thank you so much,I've learnt more in watching 2 videos from you than I have in years of fumbling about...fantastic explanations :-)
Wonderful to hear! Thanks so much for letting me know :) glad you found it helpful
@@GracieTerzian I would love to see this expanded to cover the modes as well please
Thank you for this! Q: What's a good theory book for a beginner to intermediate to pro. I'm a guitarist. I've been playing for decades by ear completely afraid of theory. I need/want to learn theory. I so appreciate your channel, your teaching and your recommendation. Thank you Gracie!
Hm for theory books I usually recommend ones based around piano because I think it's good to first learn the basics of theory on piano, and then later apply it to the guitar. Many other guitarists I know recommend doing this as well. Because the piano lays out the notes in a great way visually so it's good for learning the basics. If you want a place to start, check out the Fundamentals of Music Theory by Keith Snell. It is a whole series of books with different levels, but start with the preparatory level. Then move on to level 1, 2, 3, etc...
@@GracieTerzian excellent advice! I absolutely will start with piano....will order books asap. Thank you so much for such a quick reply too! Take care Gracie. I'll be watching your vids and contribute.
Hi Gracie Can you please. Explain to us about Odd times please. As a guitar player I'm pretty confused about Odd times. Please hehe
Yes - any specific odd time signatures you find particularly troubling?
@@GracieTerzian
Like those 9/8's 5/4's hehe sorry for being such a noob LOL but I just dont get how to count like 16 8th notes and other odd times. Hmmmm.. Whenever I encounter songs that encorporates or uses odd times I kinda stick to 4/4 and I would adjust how fast will I count the 4's. Sorry I'm a self taught musician hehe.
Hey ! Subbed and bell'd , thought I already had for your circle of fifths video , thanks so much for that , really made it so much easier to wrap my head around ! I'm currently using the C major scale to learn the basicsof theory and navigate the fretboard , finding every scale pattern , chord shape , inversions, intervals, arpeggios etc, basically how to really dive into and learn every scale jumping off just that one scale ( if that makes sense ) I've been on CM for a couple months :D
That's fantastic! I think that's a great way to go about learning - first just start with the key of C and understanding it really well in different capacities (the way you are doing) and then branch off into other keys. Keep up the great work and good luck! Oh and thank you for subscribing and belling :)
@@GracieTerzian For my situation , it's just me and my kids , learning can be pretty slow sometimes, so I'm finding this method useful , and I figured since basically everything is based off the major scale, then learning everything I can about it , even just using one key ( picked so I can also learn the notes on my ftretboard ) it will hopefully be fairly easy to disseminate other scales, chords etc . Your way of teaching helps so much , very easy to understand , doesnt assume anything and sticks to the point , will definitely be keeping up with your vids !
Thank you for doing this. God Bless.
Thank you too!
you are a great teacher, made it easy on the mind...Thank You!
Thank you!! So glad to hear it :)
This is exactly what I have been looking for! I have searched other videos about minor keys, but none have explained it as completely and clearly as you have. Take care and thanks so much! 👌
