- This lesson begins by working through each of the chords in major and minor keys explaining which are major, which are minor and which are augmented or diminished. The video moves on to explore how to hear the difference between major and minor chords, leading to play a series of seven chords for you to identify as major or minor. This will assist musicians hearing chords in their heads who then want to notate them. It will also help performers to consider the implications for interpretation when tuning in to major and minor chords.

This was quite helpful. I wish I had you as a teacher when I was a young student. Also, this was the first of your quizzes where I scored 100%!
Bravo!
Fantastic. Thank you.
Glad it’s helpful. Much more at www.mmcourses.co.uk
This was fun. I'm 64 and i play music with 2 young musicians who can't read music or even know their major scale vs minor scales. So I explained,
First ) semitone vs tone,
Then,
Second ) tone,tone,semitone, tone, tone, tone, semitone
Vs
Tone,semitone, tone, tone, semitone [tone+semitone] semitone. They play guitar so i told them that frets on the guitar are semitones. So if they pick any root note, the stucture is,
2fret,2fret,1fret,2fret, 2fret,2fret, 1fret. For a major scale then,
2fret, 1fret, 2fret, 2fret, 1fret,3fret,1fret for a minor harmonic scale. Is that a good description? The one musician also has a keyboard to utilize.
I tell the musician who doesn't have a keyboard, to draw one for a reference. I believe it is much easier to teach music theory to a musician who has a keyboard, than teaching music theory to a musician that doesnt. I want to learn to play saxophone later but that is entirely something I will grapple with by myself. Am i doing ok as a teacher to guitarists? They get frustrated so i tell them to relax, because they both love music and lesrning music theory is a beautiful concept to be embraced, not feared. Frank Zappa told guitarist Steve Via that if Steve wants to write music, he should buy a piano/electronic keyboard. I'm 64 and have been playing off and on since I was 13. But since I retired in 2017 and my wife made the mistake of letting me put my music studio in the dinning room, i now play anywhere from 1 to 10+/- hours a day. I love music so much, It really changed my life from just listening to music to learning to play. I play guitar, keyboards, drums, harmonicas, penny whistle. I want to buy a violin and saxophone, and flute. English progressive rock has to have a moog synthesizer, a piano/organ, and several guitars, and a flute! From Ray Thomas of the Moody Blues and Jon Field of Jade warrior, Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull, and many other great British rock musicians. I love jazz and i am making a recording of Peter and the Wolf, Pictures at an Exhibition and Hall of the Mountain King. Maybe Night on Bald Mountain and Wagner's Valkerie. Am i trying to do too much? You have been an inspiration to me. Thank you so much. I do have a RUclips channel an if you check out my videos, i appreciate criticism. God Bless.
Great to read about your enthusiasm for music.
What a great video. Full of information and very instructive. I'm only now able to hear notes in the bass, but I'm not sure of myself. But there is progress, this was helpful.
Great to hear that it’s helpful
Hi Gareth, in pop and other ‘modern’ styles of music songwriters/composers tend to use the Aeolian mode for constructing the scale of minor chords. This avoids the largely unusable augmented chord: G augmented becomes a standard G chord. I substitute the G augmented with a G major even when I compose in a more classical context. Can you present something on this subject if you haven’t done so already? It would be really helpful.
You’re absolutely right about this and yes, we could make a video about that.
I finally watched a video that showed me the awesomeness of the Circle of 5ths. Pick your root, then counter clockwise space is your 4 (Major) and clockwise is your 5 (Major) and the inner circle ar your 3 minor cords. Thev7th diminished is not 8ncluded. Why? Can you do a video explaining tht? ( or have you?)
The circle of 5ths is so useful. The dim 7th is minor 3rds built on the 7th degree of any scale.
Is this how you would write out these chords?:
1 (Major) - Eb (I)
2 (Major) - Ab (IV)
3 (Major) - Eb/G (I)
4 (minor) - Fm (ii)
5 (minor) - Cm (vi)
6 (Major) - Bb6/D (V6)
7 (Major) - Eb (I)
The slash chords are for the chord orderings/inversions. The "6" in the Bb chord is because it has the 6th degree, "G", as well as the notes Bb, D, and F (1st, 3rd, and 5th degrees (of that scale)). (This is also called an "add 6" chord).
Is this correct? I am trying to work on naming chords. Thank you!
In 6 there’s no added 6th but otherwise these are correct. Towards the end of the video all the chords are labelled with the notes provided.
@@MusicMattersGB Okay! Thank you! Sorry, I read the second note in the chord incorrectly. I thought it was the note G, but it is actually an F (on the space, rather than on the line). Thanks! :)
@braydenjones6561 No worries
Hi Gareth, I could identify the chords as degrees of the scale, but not the inversions as inversions. Thanks as I didn't know this. Slán, Austin.
A pleasure. It’s good to get your ear on the inversion chords.
Omg must like
😀
My problem is: I hear the root and the fifth, I don't notice the third 😢 kind of like a blind spot...
Actually that is more important because if you know for example that the root is D then that narrows it down to 2 chords: D or Dmin.
But if you only know it's major then you have 12 choices: C C# D etc.
Place yourself in a different position, use different speakers, or put something of leather over your ears; you’re not Superman so you have to trust that something other than you is flawed. Yeah, you read that right; if you saw the crappiest speakers I ever use are the best for distinguishing notes. The commercial enterprise is not going to do the work for you 😇 Sometimes your refrigerator will resonate to a sound and you’ll lose the note in the noise 🤷♂️
Personally, after years, I discovered that a mono signal is way better for discerning notes than a stereo signal 🤷♂️
@@codetech5598haha I only hear: there is a chord with a fifth 😂 I can tell a minor and a major third by song beginnings apart, but I always have to think about it a lot. And I don't notice the third in a solid chord. Only when parallel major and minor ate played successively.
@MauroRProduction This is often said and there’s some truth in it but it’s good to train your ear to hear the difference between the major 3rd and minor 3rd.
Too easy
😀
