These videos are FINALLY managing to get some music stuff inside that was always being a pain. You explain simply but it's all very correct and precise. Never a confusing sentence. Great, man, thank you very very much!
+Lorenzo Tosi Also, it's a very pleasure to follow, no stupid faces and shit, examples all the time..all great! I really hope you will do more "how to write music" going into all the modes, giving examples of a full song, everything! :D \m/
My piano teacher always said I had talent, but I ignored all the theory. Your lessons have really helped fill in all the gaps I created with my laziness. This lesson especially helped me to understand why I like the minor scale and its various incarnations more than the major scale. It also helped me to understand how some of my own music ventures never felt catchy or creative enough while trying to use minor scales. Thank you so much.
+x1PMac1x Yeah once you get used to some of the subtleties in minor keys you realize you can do some really cool stuff with them. Good luck with everything.
Best music theory videos on RUclips. I've played guitar for 30 years, and am trying to teach myself piano. You have explained things that I've been stuck on for years!! Thank you so much.
For some elaboration on why its called "natural", a natural minor scale is constructed out of the same notes as its relative major scale, but starting on the major scale's 6th degree. E.G. in the key of C and A minor respectively, C D E F G A B A B C D E F G Likewise, with, say, an A major and F# minor scale A B C# D E F# G# F# G# A B C# D E I hope this gives some clarification, as michael sort of skimmed over that a bit
As a newbie way in over my head, the fact that we use a different path going down than going up in a scale is mind blowing. I never would have guessed. Great video, cool cat.
I have been a music producer for four years, and watching your videos made it easier for me to try new genres. I started with only making electronic music, but thanks to you I can now make classical and jazz songs!
TheKKCody0824 definitely dude, it gives context to what you’re already doing and allows you to push boundaries in genre, emotion, everything. You learn to rules to break them🤘🏾
can u help me with something . in maksim godfather theme (original video) , on 1:41 - 1:43 . what schale he is using . im searching it for years since i dont go to class . pleaseeeee
A lot of videos just seem to regurgitate music theory and try to make you memorise them, but I find your videos a lot more helpful because you use great examples to illustrate your points. I hope to understand music theory better so that I can play the guitar rather than memorise songs.
I feel its much easier to understand it when its being shown in a straight line like he laid it out. Also using a keyboard as opposed to guitar, the scale somehow seems to make more sense visually.
I now realize I've been naturally drawn with my music towards the melodic minor sound and also know now why in my head it felt so preferable over the natural minor. This knowledge makes it a lot easier for me to play and move around with these minor scales. Thanks a lot, very well explained!
Very informative and I’m glad I watched all the way to the end, as a cat lover, watching your kitty stand on your keyboard, knock over your camera and then meow in to the mic gave me a good chuckle.
Very much appreciated. If only all theory was presented in context of WHY such and such a thing is so then learning would seem relevant to practice instead of arbitrary and dislocated. Great lesson!
I can probably count in one hand how many times I’ve commented on RUclips videos. But I just gotta say this was the best explanation of minor scales I’ve ever seen/heard in my life.
Amazing video! Can't believe this is 7 years old haha. I tend to be more visually oriented and those visual representations for the scales are incredibly useful. Thanks so much!
Your videos are amazing man. I can't believe I am only now discovering them. I have been asking myself some of these questions for a while and the way in which you explain things is so damn simple. Thank you very much for your work, it does not go unappreciated.
I have to leave a comment although I feel I am repeating many others here. To be able to give such clarity and insight into these age old subject matters, you are an exceptional teacher and most of all, someone who truly live and breath the subject. There are many good teachers out there but for me, you stand as the best. Thank you so much for enlightening me, almost 60 now, who plays a bit of guitar and piano.... music has a completely different dimension and meaning now for me after watching your music theory videos. These are 7 to 10 years old but as many have said before, they will be timeless treasures to anyone who wants to learn music. Thank you .
When you learn Indian classical music one of the most important training is finding the root note of the scale if you play any scale in front if a classically trained person (Indian classical music specific) that person will be able to identify the root note irrespective where you start
Very cool, I have always loved to play the harmonic minor scale, especially on guitar, but I didn't know that the reason for it's use is to create tension before the resolution in the minor scale, you learn something new every day :)
First time I watch this video a long time ago. it was a bit confusing on how to use it. But the second time I watch this I mean now it's easier to understand. Thank you !!!
Very clear video! It cleared a few things up for me. I was doing the switching, but wasn't aware of it, now I am ;-) You're talented at teaching music theory, Michael!
I’ve been a guitarist for 36 years and no one ever explained the “whys” behind the minors. Thank you for this tutorial. Very informative and well explained.
Dear Sir - as a lowly Bass player studying Jazz- I have found your entire approach & delivery of theory incredibly palatable, educational & entertaining...keep up the great work. Thanks from the UK!
Michael!!! This lesson was thrilling & as always, your major teaching skills rocked these natural minors in such a melodic way that I understood. Such a harmonious morning!!! Hey, speaking of harmonics, you know the way the natural harmonics occur on top of the 5th, 7th, etc. Frets on the guitar, where would they be on the piano.? Thanks for this wonderful knowledge, you are tremendously appreciated.
Just a note: At 3:35, it's not *entirely* obvious that that sequence is centered around D maj. If you had continued up the the E, it would literally be the melody of "London Bridge," but in A maj.
You have the best videos I have seen so far. You explain very patiently. I have one suggestion. Please make more videos from the very basics of music theory to the advanced and complex topics. Also make a playlist in the order of level of learning (not chronologically).
This is an amazing explaintion. As professional as it gets. To the point yet has all the detail to fully understand without simply memorizing. How you accomplished this in 14mins is mind-blowing. I completely understand all of it and didn't understand at all 14minutes ago... Thank you so much!
Taking an Ap Music Theory class this year and we just started covering the different minor scales. My teacher kind of rushed through the topic, and this video was a great source for clarification! So glad I stumbled upon this channel. Can't wait till we start chords and I can then watch your videos about those- your brief discussion of them in this video was so exciting for me! I am finally getting a look into the true world of music, even after playing an instrument for so many years. Thank you!!
@@jocabulous I believe you are thinking of a scale we use in Byzantine music for tones 2 and 6. The Phrygian dominant is very close, however, to make it more authentic play F# instead of F. So, G, Ab, B, C, D, Eb, F#, G. That's as close as I can get to explaining it in western notation, as byzantine notation is different (smaller intervals).
Natural minor sounds fine. There is a LOT of traditional Irish/Scottish music in the natural minor, plus various other modes. It sounds centered to me.
***** I'm not saying better or worse. But if you use the word "colourful" to describe using more of the musical palette then it's fair to say that jazz is more colourful. The word chroma means colour. More use of the chromatic scale adds colour
I had never actually looked into why the melodic minor scales changes on the way down, but it makes sense now, because by going down the harmonic way you're essentially introducing the last few notes of the major scale which would confuse the listener I take it. Nice one man, you have a way with words when it comes to explaining theories, clear and to the point.
I love music and I've tried learning on my own and looking at youtube videos for help and nothing has ever made more sense than this video, I subbed immediately. You're a very gifted teacher!
Finally got it, thank you! Quick question: I'm playing guitar and there is this thing (I hope) called "phryigian dominat" which is basically a harmonic minor that is played in a different key then the root node. Do you have a video where you explain why this is (and why it sounds so damn tasty)?
*Phrygian Dominant. Also, it DOES exist! It's the 5th mode of Harmonic Minor. I have a joke about it, too! However, Melodic Minor and its modes are WAY better than Harmonic Minor and its modes. Here's the video that started the Phrygian Dominant joke. It's on my "memez and jokez" playlist, and the intro is HILARIOUS!!!! ruclips.net/video/aCZezZf9bi0/видео.html And by the way, it most likely sounds good to YOU, because of the augmented second that's in all of Harmonic Minor's modes. But to me, that, the fact that it's a mode of Harmonic Minor, and the fact that it sounds "exotic", like it's from some dumb other country (I'm racist), is why I don't like Harmonic Minor or its modes.
I'm a percussionist in my school band and an ear player for every other instrument I play/write with. It's currently almost 1:30am here, I have no idea why I watched this, but I actually learned some stuff and found it really interesting.
How about the egyptian/new Zealand #5 bb7 harmonic/ melodic secondary dominant sus4 fusion scale?! (Can you imagine dropping THAT in at band practice ?!!! -if only I'd not made it up and it was real lol)
Dont know if i already commented this befor but i always almost forget about you and then these pop up in my feeds sometimes and reminds me that this was the first musictheory video that really resonated with me and got me going down that path and im really thankful for this and just wanted to comment that your videos really changed my way of looking at music and helped me alot! Much love from Sweden.
Hi Michael, not only is this video brilliant, but so are the comments below! I really appreciate your effort to educate and clearly you have a knack for it. Your explanations are very clear and really make me want to learn more. I've been brushing up on my theory for the past few weeks while I save some pennies to buy a digital piano. My new piano will arrive in a few days and I can't wait to get started! I used to play the drums as a kid/young adult and believe I have a good sense of rhythm/timing which I think is important. Thanks again!!
That was so helpful, thanks! I've never really got the concept of any minor scales, and to be honest, I didn't know about the melodic minor scale till now. Thank you so much!
This is awesome! Before this video I didn't get it so I was going to memorise them off by heart and hope for the best, but now that I actually UNDERSTAND the how's and why's I feel more stable with my knowledge. Thank you!
Omg thank you so much! When my piano teacher explained, I couldn’t make sense of it! Your explanation was very lucid and precise. You also answered the question of why we run down back using natural scale. Thank you so much!
OMG at the harmonic minor scale i was wondering WHERE have I heard this weird scale at?? I've heard it! I prematurely concluded it was from some spooky song. But in reality it was from Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time in the water temple! If you go to the Water Temple Theme (literally youtube search this) you can hear @ 1:30 on sheikah(username) the harmonic scale being played!! It's mind boggling that the player was CLEARLY just playing that fancy scale... WOW!! THANKS FOR TEACHING ME THIS I ALMOST CLICKED OFF YOUR VIDEOS.. I really enjoy the virtual piano everyone has on the screen which removes your fingers(although having both is always best to see the hand shape) but I stayed on. I admit I was confused. But I just rewatched it again to make sure I didnt miss out on the whole purpose and it was very informative. GOD BLESS YOU THANK YOU!
I love you videos. I have been playing music for decades, and I have never truly understood the theory. You are finally explaining this material in ways that make sense to me.
Really fantastic explanation of the three minor keys. The leading note in the harmonic minor has a very oriental sound. The melodic minor as a sort of middle ground. Well done

I don't know why it is that music theory is often made so complicated. The way you teach it, it obviously doesn't have to be. Thank you so much!!
Maybe because many teachers themselves don't have it clearly conceptualized in their heads.
Music theory is complicated when you put everything together, but if deconstructed piece by piece then it’s easy to learn.
These videos are FINALLY managing to get some music stuff inside that was always being a pain. You explain simply but it's all very correct and precise. Never a confusing sentence. Great, man, thank you very very much!

Wait are you telling me that the Minor scale is the Major scale's Aeolian mode?
yes, the natural minor and Aeolian mode are equivalent (flat 3rd, flat 6th, flat 7th)

I love how you explain why these scales exist and give good examples. You put all the pieces together so well. Thank you
I got it, thanks to you. Also, I liked the cameo surprise ending.

Listen to "Us And Them" by Pink Floyd :)
I think it sounds scary and cool

That cat... Hehehe!
Thanks for answering my question before. At least it is now clear to me.
During 13 years music lessons in school I was never teached and never learned WHY there are different minor scales. Now I know. Thanks man.
the harmonic minor actually sounds a little arabic
I think a note is added to that scale and it becomes the arabic scale
if you play harmonic minor but start on the 5th note, you get phrygian dominant, a common arabian/egyptian sounding scale
@@jocabulous I believe you are thinking of a scale we use in Byzantine music for tones 2 and 6. The Phrygian dominant is very close, however, to make it more authentic play F# instead of F.

sounds more like some sort of horror dracula music
arabic music is based upon it
Great video. You do a good job of explaining WHY things need to be a certain way, instead of just “do it this way”. Thank you.
Really well explained, great video. I wanna know modes of the Harmonic minor. That would be cool
The best explanation I've ever found, anywhere, of minor scales. Many thanks.
awesome. thanks brother

Natural minor sounds fine. There is a LOT of traditional Irish/Scottish music in the natural minor, plus various other modes. It sounds centered to me.
A lot of that music is drone based. It sounds great but it's not as colourful as if you use scales with more tension.
That would depend on an individuals perception.
***** I'm not saying better or worse. But if you use the word "colourful" to describe using more of the musical palette then it's fair to say that jazz is more colourful.
The word chroma means colour. More use of the chromatic scale adds colour
French/Breton music does make use of the chromatic scale.
***** your first post was about Irish/Scottish
Finally someone that teaches thing in a very easy and entendible way... Thank you so much.. Subscribed!
I always wondered why my scale books had minor be different when going down

It's mind boggling that the player was CLEARLY just playing that fancy scale... WOW!! THANKS FOR TEACHING ME THIS I ALMOST CLICKED OFF YOUR VIDEOS.. I really enjoy the virtual piano everyone has on the screen which removes your fingers(although having both is always best to see the hand shape) but I stayed on. I admit I was confused. But I just rewatched it again to make sure I didnt miss out on the whole purpose and it was very informative. GOD BLESS YOU THANK YOU!
I learned these scales from my piano teacher, but nothing about why they exist. This video makes a tonne of sense. Thank you!
I love you videos. I have been playing music for decades, and I have never truly understood the theory. You are finally explaining this material in ways that make sense to me.
Thanks so much for doing what you do man! So many people explain the ”how” of music theory but never the “why”. These videos are fantastic!
I dead ass took classes and this video made months or trying to learn the scale so much easy. I didn't realize they shared so many similarities
Thanks for putting forth the most unambiguous and detailed videos
Really fantastic explanation of the three minor keys. The leading note in the harmonic minor has a very oriental sound. The melodic minor as a sort of middle ground. Well done
