I'm doing research on making some of my own music theory videos You have some good info here, you are one of the few people on you tube that actually knows what they are doing. Music is a blessing ... thank you for sharing your gift to others ... ... you're really changing things for the better bro, keep up the good work !
Excellent way of describing things here. The way I keep my chords straight is that I don't bother memorizing majors and minors separately, but just each major key with the awareness that it's relative minor is built into it. And then I use roman numerals to represent each step of the scale (because they can be written uppercase to represent major and lower to represent minor) and I just know what numbers are generally major or minor. For example, instead of memorizing C major and a minor, I just think of the key of C (which I know includes a minor scale) and i view it like this: I (C), ii (d), iii(e), IV (F), V (G), vi (a), viii (b) knowing that if I want the relative minor I'll just start my scale from vi vi (a), viii (b), I (C), ii (d), iii(e), IV (F), V (G) And as long as you know the key signature for each key (which your circle of 5ths method is an excellent way to do that), the chords built in it are diatonic to the notes they contain (well, mostly). This will save you from having to memorize 24 different scales and instead, just 12 different keys. And then it makes analyzing chords and working with transpositions easier because I no longer look at a chord progression like C - F - a - G, but rather I - IV - vi - V Also, wanna know how I know there's no E# or B#?...................BeCause Elephants Fart! lol! Hope I'm not preaching to the choir again and that something here is helpful to you. Thanks again! I look forward to perusing more of your videos to expand my knowledge.
@@feezo Hey, no problem! Like I said, just swapping knowledge. And I'm getting tons from your videos! The order just follows the do, re, mi scale. If you want to go down the rabbit hole a little deeper... Once you're familiar with the seven roman numerals (well, really six since we don't see that diminished seventh chord too often!), which are called chord functions, then you can start dropping them into three categories of purpose. One category is the Tonic. This is for I and vi, the Major tonic and the minor tonic. The chord that often (but not always) is a good starter or finisher of your progressions. If it's a minor song, you'll focus around the vi; and if Major, then the I The next category is the Subdominant. Technically, this is just the IV chord, but I drop ii in there with IV. Consider ii (supertonic) the little sister of the IV. The IV is kind of like the starting out on a journey chord. You often hear these at the bottom of subdominant climbs (IV - V - iv....) like climbing a mountain. IV is used most commonly, but ii can be thrown in as a variation to IV when you want the subdominant effect but need to change chords to keep it from getting stale. A good example is when you're stretching that climbing feel across a couple measures but don't want to stay on the IV, so you throw in a ii before moving on. For example: ||: amin (vi) - F (IV) - dmin (ii) - G (V) :|| Then finally there's Dominant. Again, technically only the V chord is considered the Dominant chord function, but I throw iii (mediant) in this group, as V's annoying little emo brother. I say this because iii can be used as a variant of V, but with a more dissonant, tension building effect (so dramatic!), especially when iii breaks the rules of its scale and raises its 3rd to become a major chord (III). This requires borrowing a note that doesn't even belong in the key! The dominant category feels like the end of the journey, or bringing it home. V is more commonly used especially in major feeling songs, but a major III happens a lot in minor songs. In the example above, you could substitute III in place of the V or even split the measure between the two of them ||: amin (vi) - F (IV) - dmin (ii) - G (V)/Emaj (III) :|| You also hear the III at the bottom of flamenco style walkdowns: ||: iv - V - IV - III :|| or ||: amin - G - F - Emaj :|| So, in a nutshell: TONIC: home I or iv SubD: starting the journey IV or ii Dominant: end of the journey/tension V or iii (also III) Of course, this is my own way of looking at it, totally ignoring looking at minor keys as their own separate thing! So next time you listen to a song you can start listening for these, and with a little practice, you'll be able to recognize them easily by what purpose they are serving. It blows people's mind when you can hear a song and be like "Oh, yeah, it's these chords...." and then whip em out on a keyboard or guitar.....and then TRANSPOSE them to another key because you're looking at them like numbers and functions! Like Neo looking at the Matrix!

feezo hey man I hate to bother you again but I’m new to this making beats stuff and I have a melody that I really like but I can’t seem To make a beat that goes with it do you have any tips or tricks on how to do that
Can you please do one of these videos for chord progressions in FL piano roll? Really enjoyed the only drum pattern video on your channel. It would be dope if you could do the chord video the same way you did the beat video.
Major Key: MMmmmdM Minor Key: mmdMMMm So can i just replace this with the circle of fifths? Always starting from the root and counting all notes within the key. So in C Major the 5th degree (G) would be Minor
Thank you Felix, but i dont know how to put this on a virtual piano :/ It's ard to see wich ¨button¨ is the note, and i dont own a physical piano. But thanks anyway, keep the good work!
Just take your time lining it up. There will be a faint green line leading back to the keys. I know it's hard and frustrating, but with practice you can make it work
Oh my god feezus has done it again (feezo-jesus)
Thanks brother 😈🖤

Thank you brother, I’ve always kinda had trouble with the Roman numerals and what order the chords are in in each key

V or iii (also III)

I wouldn't mind if feezo was my music teacher lol
Lmaoo I wouldn’t mind being your music teacher 😎
@@feezo pls tell me the name of the keyboard, and tell me if it's gud or not
u my fav youtuber felix
🥺🖤 thank youu
Thanks for sharing with us
Thank you so much, this will definetely help me
I used to make chords just by ear, now I will have something to follow
3:48 OH NO I DONT HAVE A HOODIE ON GUY WHAT DO I DO
Oh god no, must restart video!
Teaching me alot, never really comment but dang, mans teaching💯
I`d like to thank you a lot for this crystal clear explanation. Big love, good luck!

youre so under rated
Thank you bro 🖤 much love
Yo bro this is hella helpful
Thank you my man
feezo I screenshot and wrote it again on my note b
OK so if I wanted to do some cord progressions in a major does that mean that D major and E major sound good with a major
Yessir yessir, try it out, they’ll sound nice
feezo thanks man I will
feezo hey man I hate to bother you again but I’m new to this making beats stuff and I have a melody that I really like but I can’t seem To make a beat that goes with it do you have any tips or tricks on how to do that

Love that intro
Thank you :)
so good

How long have you been making music
I’ve been making music for about 3 years now
What keyboard do you use?
I have a nektar impact midi keyboard 💯

nice intro
craig gets drunk and eats butterflies, fun.
I don't get it, how do you use the circle ?
watch the video.......
Major Key: MMmmmdM
Minor Key: mmdMMMm
So can i just replace this with the circle of fifths?
Always starting from the root and counting all notes within the key. So in C Major the 5th degree (G) would be Minor
Thanks bro. BTW I am worried about that Craig guy.
thank you so much Felix,i now make better melodies...
Awesome, I’m glad I could help :)
